Eighth Annual Davis Family Challenge

Spiderman Uno

This was the game Eddie brought, we decided the winning team would be the first team with two players to go out. Even though Cat was the first to go out, Team Awesome rallied for the win after J.D. went out and forced Uncle Giant to let the Captain go out. Team Awesome wins, 2-1.

Water Pong

This was the game The Captain brought, two bowls, one orange and one purple were set at one end of the diningroom, each with a little water in them. Contestants took turns bouncing ping pong balls into them. Team Awesome picked the purple bowl and Team Plan B picked orange bowl. We added up all the balls in each bowl at the end. Eddie started out his team out with 1 in the orange bowl. Lore answered back with 1 in the purple bowl. Cat then helped out Team Awesome wiht a ball in the purple bowl. J.D. answered back with a masterful 3 in the purple bowl. Uncle Giant's second shot was a nail biter, spiraling around the edge of the orange bowl, but he ended with 1 in the orange bowl. Chad scraped by with 2 in the purple bowl. Grammy must've been a little confused about what team she was playing on, first she got one in orange, then one in purple, finally another in orange, netting her team +1 overall. The Captain came out strong with 2 in purple in the beginning, then ended with 1 in orange. Team Awesome wins again, 10-4

Cups

This was the game Uncle Giant brought. Players were given 24 Solo cups of one color and 1 of a different color. Starting with the odd color on the bottom, they had to transfer the top cup to the bottom with one hand, then do it again with the other hand. The first to have the odd cup back on the bottom wins. Lorelei beat Eddie in the first round, but Team Plan B came back when Uncle Giant beat Chad in the second round. Team A wasn't happy with that though, so J.D. whipped Cat and then the Captain finished it up with a win again Grammy. Team Awesome wins again and looks like they will sweep the Davis Family Challenge, 3-1

Heads Up

This was the game J.D. "brought". It is an iOS game, sort of like a reverse charades, one person has a word on an iPhone on the their forehead, and his or her team has to get the person to guess it. Eddie started with the "Happy Holidays" category and finished with a score of two. Lorelei scored Team Awesome four points also in "Happy Holidays". Cat floundered on 'lizard' but still scored four points in the "Animals" category for Team Plan B. Chad made his team proud with eight points in "Animals", including J.D.'s clue of "simba with water" for 'sealion'. Uncle Giant thought maybe "Animals" would help them out and started out strong with his team making animal noises, but sort of petered out near the end, finishing with an impressive eight points. The Captain thought that "Animals" was a good theme and stuck with it gaining five more points for Team Awesome. Grammy rounded up Team B's proformance with "Animals" again, scoring an additional five. J.D only had to score three for the win in his own game, and the sweep in the DFC. Unfortunately, he failed miserably with just one right. Team Plan B begins their comeback winning 19-17

Christmas Plate Drawing

This was the game Cat brought. Everyone put a paper plate on top of their heads, and then Cat read out directions like "draw a floor", and everyone draw it without looking. After she read all the direction, there was a list of things that you could get points added or removed for having drawn. In the end, everyone should've had a Christmas tree decorated with a present under it, next to a fireplace and hearth with a stocking hanging from it. Chad was robbed by having his tree decorations not counted, giving Team Plan B the win, 28-24

Makin' Bacon Dice

This was the game Chad brought. It is similar to 10,000 or Farkle, only the dice have "Makin'", "B", "a", "c", "o" and "n" on them. There are points for various combination and is played until someone gets 6,000 points. If someone rolls "Makin' Bacon" in one roll, they score 6,000 thus ending the game. The Captain started the game off with a score of 700, J.D. busted, Cat matched the Captain with 700, then Lorelei, Uncle Giant and Eddie all busted. Grammy, upped the ante taking Team Plan B ahead with an additional 400. Chad saw it, and countered with 800. The Captain must've been tired of the game and scored 6,000 with "Makin' Bacon" and ended the game. Team Awesome had 7,500 points, Team Plan B with 1,200.
