Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check local listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Brian Armbrust
San Francisco
corporate trainer
$21,500

Paula Ashley
Toledo, OH
marketing communications firm owner

Greg Williams
Philadelphia
lecturer

Paula and Greg will have to watch out for Brian. He's a sly one. But can he hold onto his championship for another day?

Brian starts with $200 You Gotta Have Art. At the TV time out, Brian picks up where he left off last time, in the lead with $2400 against Greg's $1200. Paula has $1000 at the TV time out.

Greg goes back to You Gotta Have Art for $1000, the Daily Double this round. Tied with Brian for the lead, Greg goes $500 on a 20th Century artist who specialized in "hand-painted dream photographs." "Who's Dali?" Right for $3300. He ends up with that, while Brian has the lead at the half with $7400. Paula has $200 and first pickings of the board in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Bodies of Water. Greg finds the first Daily Double under $2000 Speed Hamlet. He bets $1000 on the fresh prince of Norway.  Blanked on Fortinbras, dropping him to $9900. Brian finds the second with $1200 US State Names. He fronts $2000 on this: land's sakes! The only 2 states with "land" in their names. "What are Maryland..." ... and Rhode Island. He's down to $11,800. And Greg would capitalize with $15,900 to Brian's $9000. Paula has $200.

Final Jeopardy! in "The US Government": it's the only Cabinet department whose official website does not use the ".gov" suffix. Correct question: what is the Department of Defense? (They use .mil)

No one's right, but Greg only bets a little to win with $13,400. Brian leaves with $23,500.

 
Poker After Dark by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Going into night 2 of competition, Doyle Brunson and Chris Ferguson are tied for the chip lead with $32K. Carlos Mortensen is on the short with $4000. Blinds are at $150 and $300.

Ferguson's paired ducks (2?2?) are going up against Jamie Gold's pocket rockets (A?A?). Flop comes up a set for Jamie, 7-A-10. Turn: K?. Jamie bets $4000. Chris throws it away. Jamie wins $5950.

Now Chris Moneymaker has bullets (A?A?) to Johnny Chan's 6es. Flop: 4-Q-Q. That gives Chris top two pair. Turn: J?. River: 8?. Give Chris the money, $6250.

Carlos Mortensen is all-in with wired 10s against Johnny's wired 10s. Flop: Q-9-K. It's dead here. They'll split the pot, $2450 each.

Carlos is back all-in with A-2 against Chris Moneymaker's A-10. Flop: K-K-9. Turn: 3?. River: 8?. Chris sends Carlos packing in sixth place.

Jamie raises on suited A-9?. Ferguson has 10-8. Flop: 10-7-8. Two pair for Chris, open-ended straight draw for Jamie. Ferguson check raises. Turn: 8?. That's eights full of 10s for Chris, and Jamie's now drawing dead. He throws it away. Ferguson wins $22,400.

Three-way action ends the night with Doyle (J?9?), Chris F. (8?2?), and Jamie (4?3?) in a $1200 pot. Flop: 2-5-8. Chris has two pair, while Jamie has an open-ended straight draw... again. Jamie bets. Doyle drops out. Turn: 9?.  Jamie goes all-in. Ferguson calls. The river card is... Q?, and Jamie's gonna have to take that Boo-Berry to go. And so will we until tomorrow.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS
Host: Bob Barker
We start this Tuesday party with Candace Ashir, Karen Mae Soriano, Derek Scanlon, Alveria Harrington, and a piano. It goes to Alveria for $3278. Can she win a 2007 Dodge Caravan in the Five Price Tags? The five are: $19,915, $21,052, $18,773, 20,418, and $17,542. She goes false all the way on a $79 kids' camera, a $51 batter dispenser, a $35 iDog, and a $15 snow cone maker. She's only right on the batter dispenser ($36) and the snow cone maker ($28). First choice: $21,052. NO. Second choice: $19,915... Right!

Candice wins a $640 pair of bikes and a chance at a computer, dinnerware, a sofa, and rollerblades. All she has to do is avoid the Danger Price of $1545. The blades are... $200. The dinnerware is... $771. The sofa is... $1545.

We're one and one, and Derek's one and two on stage with an $834 set of table lamps. Now let's see if he can win $16,000 in the It's in the Bag bags. Are the Oxford index cards 69c? Yep. That's $1000. Is the Slow-Mag $11.69? Yep. That's $2000. Are the Seasoned Skillets worth $1.89? Yep. That's $4000. Are the Tums Smoothies worth $3.49? Nope. That's zero. Should've put the V05 there. But Derek has a chance for more at the Showdown.

Gentle giant Earl Jordan, Jr. scores a $1497 desk. Can he win a sauna? He Freezes the Frame at $5245... Winner!

Tiffany Eccleston gets a $1100 GPS receiver, but how about a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt? Time to bring out the Dice Game. First number: 1. First die roll: 2. That's higher. Second roll: 6. Lower. Third roll: 5. Lower. Final roll: 3. Higher. Price: $14,315. That's a win.

Last chance for Karen Mae with a game collection. Spoiled by Carlos Soto, who wins the $805 set. Next up, a dinette, luggage, and a scooter. Which is the Most Expensive? He goes for the scooter. The dinette is $4893. The luggage... $1900. The scooter... $2695.

Earl wins $6000 on the Big Wheel, entitling him to a trop to the Showcase. First up, a tribute to parenthood, where we see alarm clocks, a Caribbean cruise, and a travel trailer. Top winner Earl passes to Derek, who bids $20,300. Earl gets a visit from Homely Harriet, who introduced an HDTV, a home gym, a home theatre system, and a 2007 Ford F150. He tags it at $32,500. Actual price: $22,322. Over he goes. Derek's Showcase is... $26,446. Enough for a $27,280 win.

Stats: breakeven, $80,139.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Special week! We've got bikers vs. belly dancers...
 
Bikers (Jose, Jairo, Marcos, Miguel, Luis)
$5000
Belly dancers (Yanirah, Shaitara, Sandralis, Pilar, Maya)

Belly dancers lead after the first three, 132-55. Double: what do you do when you leave (4)? Pilar fires with kiss, #1. Hug, shake hands, and say goodbye are good for the win, 312-55.

Did we mention that we have a new face on the show? Well, not exactly. Rosina, an Argentine-Italian from New York, can be seen on several of the promo feeds, but she pulls active modeling duty starting this week.

Dinero Rápido: Pilar and Sandralis face the lucky table for... extra points. Together, they get 162. The extra points... 30. Sorry. That's only going to be enough for $500.

And now, the familial portion of the game...

Lopez (Miguel, Iliana, Anita, Rocio, Jose Luis)
Los Angeles
$500
Flores (Gabina, Antonio, Genoveva, Claudia, Elena)
Houston

The Lopez are leading after three, 227-0. Double: a disadvantage of owning a very small car (3). Capacity is #1 for Rocio. It's also insecure and uncomfortable for the win, 423-0.

Iliana draws "$500". She and Miguel get 168 for another $500, giving them $1500.

Air time:  Check local listings or millionairetv.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
Yesterday, Carolyn Butterfield (Lake Stevens, WA) went through her first 5 questions to secure $1,000. When she got the chance to audition for the show in Seattle, she pretty much camped out in line the night before, but she says she doesn't camp. And yet, that night, she brought a tent, a mattress, pillows, and more. She even had wine and cheese with her! Talk about being prepared... Anyway, the game resumes, and she's doing good so far...

[$16,000]

Jeff Briggs (Strongsville, OH) is the next contestant, and he is wearing some weird-looking shoes. They look like gloves for feet, which is exactly how they're described as. And this guy is a NASA scientist who describes himself as quirky. Well, this should be interesting. With that, Jeff starts by knowing that according to a common myth, you can hear the ocean when holding a seashell up to your ear. He gets through the lower tier, then soon enough...
