  When one word leads to another and another and another and another and another and another... it's a Chain Reaction! The classic word game is back for yet another run, as we start with a preview episode.
 
Aral & Chuck
best friends
Amy & Sienna
friends

We're playing the 2006 rules, minus the Speed Chains. Team with the most cash after four rounds wins a shot at $5000.

$100 Chain: VACATION - HOME - BASE - HIT - SINGLE - FILE - SHARING. Amy & Sienna lead, $300 to $200.

$200 Chain: MEDIA - CIRCUS - ANIMAL - CRACKER - BARREL - ROLL - OVER. Aral & Chuck take over the lead, $800 to $700.

$300 Chain: JUNIOR - COLLEGE - STUDENT - LOAN - SHARK - TANK - TOP. Aral & Chuck have the lead with $2000 to $1000.

Gambling Chain: LIVE - ACTION - MOVIE - STUDIO - APARTMENT - COMPLEX - CARBS. Amy & Sienna complete the chain, but Aral & Chuck win, $2000 to $200.

Now Aral & Chuck get to play the Super Chain, where they will have 45 seconds to complete seven two-word chains that begin with the same word. They will be allowed up to three letters of each word if they need it. They can pass and come back to a word if there is still time on the clock. Get all seven... another $5000. We're not touching the $2000 you won in the main game. That's yours no matter what.

Keyword: WORLD
- Series, News, Powers, Leader.. and they run out of time. They passed on world PEACE, and they couldn't get world FAMOUS or world CLASS.


Now onto the proper premiere...

Avan & Amal
cousins
Dexter & Kristen
married and expecting

$100 Chain connects WIRELESS and FRIDAY. WIRELESS - NETWORK - TELEVISION - SHOW - BUSINESS - CASUAL - FRIDAY. Dexter & Kristen take the lead early with $300 to Avan & Amal's $200.

$200 Chain begins with SICK & ends with AVENUE. We get SICK - PUPPY - CHOW - DOWN - SOUTH - PARK - AVENUE. Avan & Amal still trail, $700 to $800.

$300 Chain connects TONY with PICKING. We get TONY - STARK - NAKED - EYE - CANDY - APPLE - PICKING. Avan & Amal steal the lead, $1600 to $1400 on the last word.

Gambling Chain: BOUNCE - BACK - TALK - ? - MARTINI - GLASS - HOUSES. Dexter & Kristen roll the dice on DIRTY... for the win, $1900 to $1700!

SUPER CHAIN: GRAND
- Jury, Slam, Piano, Canyon, Rapids, Finale, Total.... leads to a GRAND TOTAL of $6900!


In the nightcap, Hooters waitresses Jules & Leigh lead surfers Preston & Riley, $1800 to $1200. The Gambling Chain: BODY - PILLOW - TALK - TURKEY - GRAVY - ? - WRECK. Jules & Leigh have no problem taking the GRAVY TRAIN, giving the surfers a TRAIN WRECK, $2600 to $600. In the Super Chain, they have to connect PRIVATE with... Detective, School, Plane, Ryan, Parts, Life... but run out of time on Property. They still have the $2600.

  Trivia. Celebrities. Drinking. It's the TV version of your favorite pub quiz.
 
Han Solo Cups
Mallory Hinks & Chris Trieu

she's a grad student; he's a lab manager at a biotech firm
Tequila Mockingbird
Joshua Tenerowicz & Emily Morrison

he's a theme park performer; she's a pop singer
Eric Christian Olsen
"NCIS: Los Angeles"
Scott Porter
"Heart of Dixie"

Every correct answer adds money to your bar tab. The team with the most cash at the end takes it home.

First is the Speed Round with $10 per question up to $60 per team. The first half had Batman or Superman; the second, GI Joe or Real American Hero?. We end with a $40-$40 tie... and a drink.

Heroine Addiction is a subject buzzers round worth $10 for each question. The subject: female heroes. Tequila Mockingbird leads, $70 to $40.

In "Four I's" you'll be shown four images. Once the fourth image is shown, you can buzz to give us the one word they have in common for $20. Tequila Mockingbird takes the lead, $110 to $60.

$50 GROUP CHALLENGE: Soundtreks. Underneath the cloths are seven songs and the movies from whence they came. You'll have to match the song with the movies. Tequila Mockingbird gets the seven movies for another $50, giving them the $160-$60 lead.

Mathbusters: a math problem about robots worth $100. Number of antenna's on Bender's head plus number of Asimov's laws. If you had four... you have $100. We're tied at $160.

BAR GAME: Jello Shots. They'll have to shoot hoops using jello cubes. The team with the most jello by weight wins the advantage of choosing the final category in Last Call. Tequila Mockingbird has the advantage.

LAST CALL: it's Hot Potato with a list. Correct answer: you stay. Wrong answer or run out of time, you're out. Last team standing wins $100 for every geek still standing. Since the score is tied, this will decide who takes their bar tab home. The choices for Tequila Mockingbird: Where There's a Will, There a Way or Chemistry Class. They go with Where There's a Will, There's a Way AND they decide to go first.

List as many US theatrically-released major motion pictures that Will Ferrell has acted in or voice acted in as you can. Tequila Mockingbird have one geek left, so they win, $260 to $160. They get the $260 PLUS a Star Wars light saber, $500 in Fandango Cash, and an Xbox One with Halo.

  Ben looks for the ever-elusive hat trick against....
 
TWO DAY CHAMPION
Ben Hemmens
Falls Church, VA
stay-at-home dad
$
43,200
Jennifer Morrow
New York City
editorial assistant
Christianne Gadd
Bethlehem, PA
adjunct professor of history & American studies

Ben starts with $200 That's Oxymoronic! At the TV timeout, the champ leads with $3200 to $2200 for Jennifer. Christianne has $1600.

Jennifer finds the Daily Double under $800 History, Old & New. She's going for it on this: in effect the last battle of the Wars of the Roses was on this field on August 22, 1485. "What is Bosworth?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $6400! She ends up with $6800 to $6200 for Ben. Christianne's $800 gives her the board to start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 She Married a Veep, finding the first Daily Double under $1200. She fronts all of her money on Jill Jacobs. "Who is Joe Biden?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $4000! Jennifer finds the other under $1600 "V" 3. She bets $2112 on this: the ancient Romans may have used the fragrant flowers of this plant to bathe with, hence its name. "What is lavender?" RIGHT for $14,512! She ends with $18,912 to $9600 for Christianne's $9600. Ben has $9000.

FINAL JEOPARDY! in "European Novelists": Alfred Dreyfus was among the thousands who marched through the streets of Paris in his 1902 funeral procession. Correct response: who was Emile Zola?

The Little Drummer Girl gets the big win with $19,200. Ben leaves with $45,200.
