When someone calls out a first and last name that starts with the same letters (Cindy Crawford, for example), reverse the direction of the game. Like in UNO. This will mix it up a little bit. -

Turn this into a strip drinking game. You have to drink while you think. Every time a name is repeated or a person can't think of a name, remove a piece of clothing!
