First up in the Big Yellow Taxi of
Money are Frank, Randy, and stone-faced Joe, going to 49th &
67th. They sweep the $25 and the $50 tier, getting $300 en
route to a Red Light Challenge: four kinds of teeth found
inside the human mouth. Incisors, bicuspids, canines, and
molars are good for $550. Bordered by Thailand and Vietnam,
what Communist country is Vientiane? They go with Cambodia...
First strike! It's Laos. Second strike: at birth, what US
President was given no middle name, just a middle initial S.
They go with Grant... It was Truman, and we go to break...
After the break, they get two more
questions right to end with $1250! But will they take the
Video Bonus? No. They walk with the cash. And inside comes...
Susie, going to 74th between
First and York. First strike: in auto terms, what long
metallic rod is used to determine the level of a car's oil?
She times out on dipstick. She needs a mobile shout out to
brother Danny: A spelunker enjoys exploring what? She goes
with caves... Right for $125! Second strike: named after the
doctor who popularized it, what low-carb diet was introduced
in a 1972 book? "God is incorrect!" Correct: Atkins. Third
strike... in a tunnel: born Chan Kong-Sang, what "Rush Hour"
star has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? She doesn't
know... Jackie Chan!
Finally, we're going to
Rockefeller Center with Veronica, Mary, Janine, and Alan.
First strike: What Big Ten school gets its team name from the
wildcats that populated Mt. Nittany. They lose out on Penn
State. Second strike: name the three-acre enclosed ecological
system constructed in Arizona in the late 1980s. (C-Note: I
know for a fact it's Biosphere 2, since I was living in that
area at the time. You can check it out
here). They go with Biodome.
But they still have $225 going into this Red Light Challenge:
five Michael Jackson solo albums released since 1978. They get
Bad, Thriller, Dangerous, Off the Wall, and HIStory for $475.
Also acceptable: Invincible and Blood on the Dance Floor. They
need a mobile shoutout here: chiromancy is the art of telling
the future using what part of the body? They go with... palm.
Going against the shout out... Good move for $575! They need a
street shoutout on this: Frank Gehry designed the iconic
Guggenheim Museum in what Spanish city? They go with Bilbao...
Right for $875! Last question... Gotten for $975. But will
they go for the video? Yes! Here it is: The Inuit inhabit
parts of Alaska, Canada, and what large ice-covered island
nation? They go with Greenland... Correct for $1950!

Lowry (Amy,
Kayley, Jill, Natalie, Kathe); $550 |
|
Broadous
(Lillian, Deborah, Angelica, Michelle, Shyann) |
Seems like we're coming
full circle today, as the Broadous family from the
AstraZeneca Feuds start their tenure. Round 1:
soemthing people aren't allowed to do at the beach, but
some people do anyway (5). Go nude beats drink, as
Lillian wins the faceoff. Make love also makes the
survey. The Lowry ladies go with "littering"... not
there! The Broadouses get 77. Other answer: smoke
(said!), bring their pets (also said!).
Round 2: something you
stand around and wait for because someone else is using
it (6). Kayley fires with #1, the toilet. They also get
the ATM. the Broadouses try "gas pump"... Got it for
133! Other answer: telephone, car, washer/dryer.
Double Round: a type of
dog that wouldn't make a good seeing-eye dog (full board).
Jill gets #2, a pit bull. Natalie gets #1, a Chihuahua.
Other bad choices: a poodle, a Dalmatian, a Yorkie
terrier, and... a St. Bernard? The Broadouses hope so...
No! The Lowrys get 138! Other answer: Shih-Tzu.
Triple Round: someone a
person might confess a crime to (4). Michelle gets the
top answer; a priest. A spouse, a friend, and the police
round the sweep and the game for the Broadouses,
400-138.
Cousins Lillian & Shyann
take the Fast Money Board for 143, good for $715. The
Broadous family's three day run on the Breast Cancer
Specials is skipped. Thursday's program picks up with
the Kimbell family who dethroned the Broadous cousins. |

William Love
(brick manufacturer from Los Angeles); $7599 |
|
John Moore
(talk radio show host from Toronto) |
|
Eleanor Ainslie
(medical student from Philadelphia) |
The Final Jeopardy!
claimed another victim yesterday, but will William have
the will today as he bets on his skill today? We'll fee
in a moment, but first, a programming note: next week
begins the J! Teen Tourney. You're not going to want to
miss that.
Let's get it on.. William
starts with $200 Teutonic. At the first time out,
Eleanor leads, $2400 to William's $400 and John's $1000.
Naturally, Eleanor goes
to $1000 Brave Heart for the Daily Double. She bets
$1500 of her $5400 here: the first permanent artificial
heart, implanted in Barney Clark in 1982, was named for
this doctor. "Who is Jarvik?" That... would've gotten
her the money. Instead, she blanks out to $3900. She
goes back to $4900 to enter the half in the lead. John
has $2600, while William has $2200 and the honor of
starting Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400 Beer-vertising.
Last two categories in play are Islands and Writing a
Wrong. After a scoring change, William wagers $6000. The
clue, from Kelly: "this Swedish island, the largest in
the Baltic Sea, is said to be the original home of the
Goths. Makes sense." "What is Gothenburg?" Nope, it's
Gotland, dropping William to a five-piece. Second Daily
Double remains hidden, and bad news for John. In the red
by $3800, he's going back to the TO with $1000.
Meanwhile, it's Eleanor's game to lose with $17,300 to
William's $6600.
Final Jeopardy!
in "Pen Names": a 20th Century writer derived
this pen name from the patron saint of England & a river
in Suffolk. Correct
question: What is George Orwell?
Both are wrong, but
Eleanor holds back to win $13,300. William leaves with
$9599. |

The final show of January
2006. 7800, release your secrets.
Janet Papson, Timothy Little, Tamisue Abuayed, and Frank
Camp all have a shot at a very tiny Dell laptop. Frank
captures it with a $500 bid (ARP: $1100). He strolls
confidently to the center door to play Most Expensive
for a pair of Deering Goodtime Banjos with cases, a 32"
HD flat panel TV, and a Broyhill writing desk. Frank
takes the TV. Banjos: $1148. Desk: $1313. Does he win?
TV: $2199. We start off on a high note for once!
Next, Janet makes off with Rosenthal Empress crystal
stemware, valued at $1680. She now tests her skill with
Bags for $16,000 using: Chips Ahoy! cookies, Santa Fe
chunky salsa, Dole pineapple slices, a 60-ct. Garlique,
and Aspercreme patches. Bag 1: 55¢. Cookies go there.
Bag 2: $1.79. Go with the pinepple. Bag 3: $3.99.
Popcorn there. Bag 4: $2.69. Gotta be the salsa. Bag 5:
$8.99. Let's go with the supplement. Cookies nets a
grand. She goes on. Pineapple rings in two grand. Going
on again. The popcorn pops up 4-G's. The salsa? Yeah,
$8000. Now to the $16,000 Supplement. With the entire
audience waving "No Deal," she stops with the
$8000...and good thing too. Back patches were in the
last bag, but $8000 in the pocket is OK by Janet.
Act III goes to Nancy Yao, who picks up a Halex family
game room with an Energizer hearing aid battery
dispenser ($1000; won after an overbid). Nancy takes her
place on the Turntable to play Cover Up for a Pontiac
G6. The Board:
1
4 3
2 8 6
9 6 3 9
3 1 0 9 4
2 7 1 5 8
----------
$1 3 5 2 0
Her first cover of $21,686 nets her three right...the
first three. So, she changes to $21,698. Bad move. No
more right. ARP: $21,631.
After TWO Spinoffs (one at 80¢, one at 40¢), Frank beats
Janet to advance to the Showcases.
In the Speed-Up, Tamisue captures a set of SportsStuff
pool and beach lounges, valued at $630. Her game:
Squeeze play for a pair of Honda TTR 125 LT offroad
motorcycles. With the board at 5 1 3 8 4, she cautiously
removes the 8, squeezing to $5134. Our second winner of
the day!
Now, in Act V, Timothy finally worms his way out of the
Row, taking down a $1199 Dimplex Symphony Ovation
fireplace. His shot at more stuff comes with a roll of
the Dice for a Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe. His rolls: 3,
Higher; 5, Lower; 5, Lower; 6, Lower. Of course, he got
the (6, Lower) call right [4]...and he got the second
number right [5]. However, he had a tragic loss, when
his first (5, Lower) call turned out to be a [6]. ARP:
$15,614.
Rounding out the Gauntlet today, Laura Vigil-Gonzalez
captured a JBL home theater speaker system, valued at
$1030. Her game: Everyone's FAVORITE!! Joker. Sweeping
thru all four prizes (the 2 lb. egg-shaped washer @ $76;
a tortilla grill @ $35; an adjustable steam iron @ $24;
the ball ice cream maker @ $29), she discards all but
the 1. Where's the Joker? #2! Another WIN!! This lucky
Joker player makes it to the Showcases with 85¢.
In the Showcase: Your Top Winner: Frank! Your Runner-Up:
Laura!
Showcase #1 stars Gabrielle in the role of Scarlett
O'Hara many years later. For prizes, our southern belle
offers a refrigerator with built-in TV, a Corsican brass
cradle, and an American 18 day sailer. Frank passes this
off to Laura, who bids $25,000.
Showcase #2 teaches us how to eat better. Our tricks to
better "nutrition" include three trips: one 6-nighter to
Honolulu, one 6-nighter to Venice, and a 12-day cruise
of the Orient. Frank bids $12,000.
Frank's Showcase: $18,238 for a difference of only
$6238. A mediocre difference. Laura's Showcase: $16,233
and she's way OVER! Frank walks away with his frat
brothers (and sister) with $23,998.
STATS: 3-2-1; $46,287 |

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |

Yesterday ended on a painful
note; but today is another day...
Starting the show in the hot seat today is Steve Borzoni
(Rye Brook, NY). He's the father of a 9-month-old boy,
and he has plans on expanding his family's house. So
he's here to make enough money to do so. Steve starts on
his way to making that money by knowing that "the facts
of life" is a polite phrase that commonly refers to sex.
He has no problem with the lower tier, then soon enough,
he faces this...
[$4,000]
What sitcom's 2005 premiere consisted of two live
performances, one for the East Coast and one for the
West?
A: According to Jim
B: Will & Grace
C: Two and a Half Men
D: Scrubs
Steve asks the audience. 49% of the studio audience says
B, and so does 48% of the AIM users. Steve trusts
them... and they're right! Another question later, and
this one pops up...
[$16,000]
Produced in France since 1849, Cointreau is a popular
liqueur with what distinctive flavor?
A: Almond
B: Orange
C: Cherry
D: Chocolate
Steve doesn't know, so he calls a food editor, Suzanne.
She happens to be a former contestant who won $125,000
on the show. Suzanne is absolutely sure that it's B.
Steve goes with it... and it is indeed B! Moving on...
[$25,000]
Of these U.S. dollar bills, which one features a
portrait of the American president who served most
recently?
A: $2
B: $5
C: $20
D: $50
The 50:50 leaves A and D. Steve says D... and he has
$25,000! Still going...
[$50,000]
What famous building was once used to store gunpowder,
resulting in a 1687 explosion that destroyed its roof?
A: Westminster Abbey
B: Notre Dame Cathedral
C: Parthenon
D: Colosseum
Steve thinks that he knows it, and goes with A... but
it's C! That sends him home with $25,000, which should
help to go towards that house expansion.
Next up is Mary Pender (Brooklyn, NY), who had a
reoccurring nightmare before appearing here that upon
walking to the hot seat, she'd trip, fall, and break her
nose. Not only that, but with a bloody nose, she'd miss
the first question. Well, at least she didn't hurt
herself here, and Mary knows that in a beloved ballet by
Tchaikovsky, the Nutcracker magically comes to life (I'm
not sure if I'd want to see soap on a rope come to life,
though), so thankfully, the nightmare didn't come to
life. She goes on to secure $1,000, and after another
few questions, she is on a roll heading into this...
[$16,000]
To show national pride, Australian sports fans greet the
chant "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" with what rousing
response?
A: Yip, yip, yip!
B: Baa, baa, baa!
C: Ho, ho, ho!
D: Oi, oi, oi!
Mary has no idea, so she decides to ask the audience.
72% of the studio audience and 62% of the AIM users say
D. Mary goes with it... and it's D! Next question...
[$25,000]
The November 2005 issue of Esquire magazine named what
former WB star "the sexiest woman alive"?
A: Jessica Biel
B: Sarah Michelle Gellar
C: Katie Holmes
D: Keri Russell
Mary has a guess, but she's not sure enough yet, so she
uses the 50:50, leaving A and B. She goes with A... and
she has $25,000! Still going...
[$50,000]
What literary wit is credited with observing "A true
friend stabs you in the front"?
A: Dorothy Parker
B: Oscar Wilde
C: Noel Coward
D: Gertrude Stein
Mary decides to go for it, saying A... but it's not!
It's B! Darn. At least she didn't lose any of the
$25,000 that she's taking home!
And time is up for today. Once again, the next episode
will start with a new player. |
