Today is

"Family Feud" - June 29

"Ready for Action..."

Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached the 26th mile in this experiment we call "Game Show Marathon." We're down to two players...

KATHY NAJIMY; winner of "Press Your Luck", playing for Girl's Best Friend
BRANDE RODERICK; winner of "The Price is Right, playing for City of Hope

Only one of these two women will walk off Stage 46 as the Game Show Marathon Grand Champion. Whoever does will win $100,000 for their charity and a big, shiny trophy. Following a quick review of Kathy's and Brande's past "Feud" experiences (Kathy with Dawson in 1981, and Brande with Anderson in 2002), and our nightly History Class (which wasn't much different than the numerous game show clip specials), we open the TV one last time...

It's time for the Family Feud, featuring...
THE NAJIMY FAMILY...
Kathy, Dan, Alexandra, Tom, and Mona...ready for action...

and, THE RODERICK FAMILY...
Brande, Debbie, Walter, Jason, and Betty...on your marks...

Let's start...THE FAMILY FEUD!!

Before we get to the game, Todd's got a stop to make...the home of Amanda Mayer in Austin, TX with a check for $50,000; thanks to Kathy's "Match Game" Super Match win. Now, onto the first Face-Off!

100 people surveyed, top 6 answers on the board..."Name a dessert you put whipped cream on."
Kathy jumps this one with Jell-O...#1 for 36, and they play first.

As the confetti drops, Rich hands the trophy to Kathy as she is declared the "first-ever winner of Game Show Marathon." Ricki signs off with "We'll see you next time on Game Show Marathon."

THE END.....................?

STATS: 4 front game questions, $100,000 for Charity, $50,000 for home viewer
MARATHON TOTAL WINNINGS: $431,151.49

If the Marathon were an actual race, here's how everyone finished:
1st = Kathy Najimy
2nd = Brande Roderick
3rd = Lance Bass & Paige Davis (tie)
5th = Tim Meadows
6th = Leslie Nielsen, thanks to the Whammy.

No tie between Leslie and Tim because Leslie was eliminated before the game was over.
