Plot Synopsis

In each one-hour episode of BET ON YOUR BABY, five families with toddlers between the ages of two to three-and-a-half years of age play this game show to see how well they can guess their child's next move, while earning the chance to win money towards their college fund. The game takes place on two stages: a shiny studio with a cheering audience, where one parent places bets, and The Babydome, a play room where the other parent goes to be with their child. Each family plays against the house, competing only against themselves and not against other families, as they bet how their child will respond in certain situations, such as: How many toys can your spouse get your toddler to clean up in a minute? How many cookies can your wife get your child to stack? Which snack will your two-year-old choose to eat? Will your child complete an obstacle course with dad in 90 seconds? Can your child name at least seven grocery items before the clock runs out? Later on, the five families return to play for the chance to advance to the final round, "Smash for Cash," in which parents of one toddler have five tries to hammer open piggy banks, one of which contains a $50,000 college fund. On Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT, ABC broadcast the Season 2 premiere of BET ON YOUR BABY, with host Melissa Peterman returning for a second season. In the Season 2 opener, Calee and Arthur King hope their 3-year-old daughter, Nyla, picks up the phone within 6 rings to win $5,000 in the "Pickup Line" game. The Hahn Triplets -- Jacob, Tyler and Audrey -- play "TP Takeoff" to see if they empty three rolls of toilet paper within 90 seconds. Four-year-old Rozlynn loves playing "Dress Up" with her mom Wanda Cohill while Grandma Tajee wagers on which costume her granddaughter will select. And 4-year-old A.J. Rodriguez plays "Peanut Putter," a mini-golf game, with his dad Lupe, while mom Angela guesses how many holes in one he'll land in the oversized cup.
