Bet the House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bet the House is a sponsored interstitial game show that debuted on Nick at Nite on June 8, 2007. It is hosted by Bradford How and Cristi Andrews, and features New York slam poet Darian Dauchan as 'The Sound FX Guy.'

Each week a different family works together in an attempt to win prizes, often risking their own possessions (hence, 'Bet' the House). The games played differ from week to week, but always feature at least one 'Cash Dash,' where a specified amount of money is given for each of a particular household item gathered in a limited time, and one 'Family Trivia Quiz,' where the family is asked questions about themselves or their home.

On May 9, 2008, Bet the House earned its highest ratings in the show's young history. The show did hours of 4.8 and 4.1 up from the previous high of 3.9. The featured family was the Tumminello family of Wayne, New Jersey.
