Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Hobbs (Lisa, Diana, Kendra, Jasara, Wayne); $21,590, three days
Kay (Dan, Michael, Davey, Audrey, Laura)

The Hobbs are in green, and after last week's run, they've got quite the right to be doing so. Round 1: something you might do on a day you know your boss isn't coming to work (6). Dan fires with "sleeping on the job". Count it under "nothing". Come in late, talk on the phone, leave early, and "showing up out of uniform" leave #3... The Hobbs want to see not coming in at all. Got it for 77!

Round 2: something that starts with "out of the..." (5). Michael: "Out of the closet." It's #5. Out of the box is #2, as Diana passes it to the Kays. Audrey gets out of the blue for #1. The Hobbs try to steal again with "out of the ordinary." Not there and we have a 10-point Feud! Other answers: out of the sky, out of the mouths of babes.

Double Round: one thing your dream house must have (full board). Davey gets #3, a Jacuzzi. Kendra does two better with a big pool. That's... well, that's it, really, as the Kays try to steal with a beautiful view. Not there! The Hobbs have 143. Other answers: big/many bathrooms, big yard, big kitchen, air-conditioning.

Triple Round: a word that rhymes with "bubble" (4). Jasara goes double for #3. Lisa is trouble at #1. The Kays try to steal with "rubble". Got it for 274! Other answer: stubble.

Sudden Death: something you don't like people doing in your car. That's Wayne... "Smoking!" That's game for the Hobbs, 344-274!

Can Jasara and Diana repeat their last Fast Money outing? Nope. They only get 182 for another $910, giving them $22,500. They get one more shot at it...

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Tom Kavanaugh (writer from St. Louis); $46,801, two days
Joan Tosh (manager from Port Chester, NY)
Jamie Hodari (law student orig. from Bloomfield Hills, MI)

Last we left Tom, he squeaked out a win, but this is a new year, a new start, and a new match. He starts with $200 Hello, "Olly". Nine clues in, and Jamie finds the early Daily Double under $400 Official State Food & Drink. He can bet up to $1000 with his $600 score. He does. The clue: this fruit juice is Massachusetts' state beverage. "What is cranberry juice?" He's got $1600!

After the time out, this game just goes all over the place, as Joan leads it, $4800 at the half to Tom's $2400. Jamie, with half over THAT, $1200, gets to start out Double Jeopardy!...

... with $2000 Accents. It's Video Daily Double time, and Denmark's the Spot for $2000. Joan, still leading with $9600, gets a video postcard from Jon worth $1600. "Budweiser has its Clydesdales, but to haul its wagons, Carlsberg has this breed, named for a Danish peninsula." "What is Jutland?" Right for $11,200! Less than a minute with only 13-Letter Words remaining. Jamie goes $2000... another Video Daily Double! He rallied from zero to $5600, but what will he wager? $3000... the 1993 Elvis stamp is the US Postal Service's most popular ever of this type, honoring an event or a person. "What is commemorative?" Right for $8600! That's what he'll end with as Joan still leads with $13,200 and Tom is the longshot at $6000.

Final Jeopardy! in "Ancient Biographers": born around 46 AD, he spent time in both Greece & Rome & wrote to encourage respect between the 2 cultures. Correct question: Who was Plutarch?

Tom's right for $11,999... Jamie's wrong with Josephus. Joan... is also wrong. And she wagered a bundle. Tom comes through in the clutch AGAIN to win, giving him $58,800. An ugly win is still a win.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Happy New Year, 2006! Your first four of the new year are Lyssa Prine, Ronald Kennedy, Sandra McCarthy, and Cynthia Pugliaresi. And your first item up for bids is a Comfort Spa. Sandra takes the spa and a chance at a trip to Cabo playing the Check Game. And, as usual, Bob gets the only person in the crowd who doesn't have a stinking clue as to how to play. But for someone who doesn't know, she sure can play. She writes the blank check for $2500. The trip is $2666. That's a win with $5166 total!

Cynthia picks up a secretary in round 2, as she gets a chance to drive off in a 2006 Dodge Caravan! But first, she must withstand... Temptation... Bob's gifts: LCD TVs worth $1199, a fishbowl full of $383, $464 stemware, and $1000 worth of Shari's Berries. Using the numbers from the gifts, she makes the price $19,860. Now the temptation sets in as the $3046 are calling, "Cynthia... Cynthia, come and get us, Cynthia!" But nothing doing... Wrong decision, as the actual price of the car is $19,340.

We're one-and-one as Ernest Limon wins a Pilates machine. Can he win a new living room with stereo system? He can if he's a good grocery shopper. On the shelf today: Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls, Westbrae Nautral organic salad beans, Quickie soap/scrub brush, Johnson's baby shampoo, and Airborne gummy lozenges. Looks like he might nickel-and-dime his way to $21 with one Little Debbie at $1.39 and two Airbornes at $2.59 a piece, $6.57 total. Then the cup runneth over with five shampoos, each worth $4.09. Ending total: $27.02.

Don't cry for Cynthia, though. She goes to the Showcase with $1000 cash money. But who will join her?

Ronald gets up in a grill for round 4 as he plays 1 Right Price for a pool table and a clock. The 1 Right Price: $3385. He goes for the pool table... and he's right!

Here comes Natalie Cook... and there goes Natalie Cook, as the UCSB student wins a wine cellar. She'll take that home in a travel trailer if Hans doesn't fall of his cliff. And he won't if she knows about a sandwich maker, a joke machine, and a blender. She thinks that the sandwich maker is $35. It's $23. That's 12 off the bat. She thinks that the joke teller is $18. It's actually $30. Hans is at 24... Get the medic ready. She thinks the blender is $50... It's $49! Cancel the medic! She's a winner!

Lyssa finally gets out of Contestants' Row as she wins an electric fireplace, but what she'd really want is a 2006 Ford Ranger! Time to bring out the table for the Dice Game. She rolls a 6 to start. Of course, lower. She rolls 5 next, and it's exactly right. Then she rolls 1, higher. And another one, exactly right! She wins the $15,541 truck in a way not seen since the dude that rolled all four numbers! And would you believe that she's not done yet? She's onto the Showcase as top winner.

First Showcase of 2006: a dining room with dinnerware, an upright piano, and a trip to Austria! Top winner Lyssa passes to Cynthia, who bids $18,000. Lyssa, meanwhile, gets a visit from efficient Edna, who gets efficient with a washer/dryer, a motorscooter, and a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix! Lyssa bids $24,000. Actual price: $26,578, a $2578 difference. Actual price of Cynthia's Showcase: $15,440. Lyssa's your first big green number winner with $43,318!

Stats: 4/6, $76,769.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
Well, the new year has begun...and we begin a new week of "Guilty Pleasures!"

The $1,000 Tossup is QUOTATION. Special education teacher Renee Brusa from Illinois solved EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY for $1,000. Michael Kellegher is from El Cajon, CA. He is a vocalist and percussionist in a jazz band. And due to his paralysis and his work with the Veterans Administration in the paralyzed veterans area, he is the 2nd contestant in Wheel of Fortune History to have a designated spinner. Debbie Vega will do the spinning for him. Shannon Geech is a graduate student at Texas Tech in audiology.

The $2,000 Tossup is PLACE. Shannon is on the board with APPLE ORCHARD. She has $2,000. And we add a trip to Las Vegas from valetnoir.com worth $6,100. She starts this round which is THINGS. She hits Bankrupt....over to Renee. She misses...over to Michael. He hits and picks up the Free Spin. He hits Lose A Turn...and uses the Free Spin. He misses... back to Shannon who hits Lose A Turn...back to Renee. She misses...back to Michael. He hits Bankrupt...back to Shannon one more time. She solves INFLATABLE POOL TOYS for $1,150...and you can see them in Martinique! It's a trip to the Karibea Hotels in Martinique with airfare from American Airlines worth $5,700! And if you have the SPIN ID of SM17397
you are off to the Caribbean! That round was worth $6,850 and she has $8,850 in cash and trip!

The jackpot round is sponsored by Tums Smoothies Cocoa and Cream Antacid Tablets. The category is SAME NAME. Renee starts. She hits the Jackpot wedge...but can't solve on the first spin. She misses...over to Michael. He hits Lose A Turn. Over to Shannon. She hits Lose A Turn...over to Renee who hits 3 $3,500 N's! She misses...over to Michael. He misses a
vowel and it's over to Shannon who solves HUGH & GOVERNMENT GRANT for $2,400. She is now up to $11,250 in cash and prizes!

The mystery round prize is $10,000 and the category is HEADLINE. Michael starts. Next spin, Bankrupt which is what Shannon hits. Over to Renee. She hits 3 $3,500 S's again. She solves CHICAGO WHITE SOX CAPTURE WORLD SERIES TITLE for $14,250. And she has the lead with $15,250 in cash!

The $3,000 Tossup is PHRASE. Michael is on the board with TAKE IT EASY. He has $3,000. Michael starts this round which is AROUND THE HOUSE. FINAL SPIN TIME. $1,800 a letter tonight. Shannon solves COTTON HAND TOWELS for $1,800. She is a 2nd place winner with $13,050 in cash and trip to Martinique. Michael leaves with $3,000. But Renee is our big
winner with $15,250--all cash!

Can we start the new year with a bonus round win? Will she win a Hummer H3? Or how about a new Pontiac Solstice convertible? She lands on the first 0 in $100,000. Her category tonight is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:

_  _ R E _ T
_ _ _

She picks GCMA

A  G R E A T
_ _ _

She said A GREAT BOY...but it was A GREAT BUY. She lost the Hummer H3, but she leaves with $15,250 in cash.
