Let's go for a ride to 91st &
Broadway with Kim Bentley and Ellen Williams. The ladies sweep
the $25 questions... but strike here: with no army, what
eco-tourist destination is known as "the Switzerland of
Central America". They go with Mexico... but it's Costa Rica.
Second strike: what kind of violent windstorm does a
waterspout become when it hits land? It's a tornado, not a
hurricane. They call for street shoutout here: a passing New
York subway can reach a level of 110 on what scale that levels
sound? They go with decibels... Right for $200! But that's as
close as they get to the money as they strike out here... in
2004, the Ansari X Prize offered $10 million to the first
non-government organization to do what? Correct: to launch a
man in space. On the bright side, you only have one block to
walk. Better luck as we
head to 66th & West End? Let's hope that Julia has some... She
too sweeps the $25 tier. First strike: the Dostoyevsky novel
about four siblings and the murder of their father. Correct:
The Brothers Karamazov. Second strike: what US state was
Lincoln born? Correct: Kentucky. Quick! Call for a street
shoutout! Question: in what battle did Custer fight his last
stand? The Battle of Little Bighorn.... gets her $300! And she
makes it to her destination with $500! And she's taking it and
going, leaving door #3 to Ben's own device.
Finally, we have Mike, Caleb,
and Josh going to 81st and CPW. They too sweep the $25 tier.
They take a mobile shoutout here: in an e-mail what does BCC
stand for? Correct: blind carbon copy. Their answer.... by
carbon copy. Strike one... Street shoutout! what mineral is
the softest on earth and is grounded into powder for cosmetic
purposes? They go with flour... Strike two. Correct: talc. The
good news: they make it to CPW with $450! But will they go
with the video? They will. The question: the Grand Canyon
officially became a national park during the Wilson
administration. But it was set aside as a game preserve during
the presidency of what avid big-game hunter? They go with
Teddy Roosevelt.... They double up to $900! |

Air time: Check listings or

Host: Richard Karn |
|
|
Salazar
(Nancy, Maribel, Marcela, Ricardo, Sidney) |
|
Broadous
(Lillian, Deborah, Angelica, Michelle, Shyann); $715 |
Round 1:
an excuse a husband gives for not going with his wife to
church (6). Nancy's too sleepy for number one. Also on
the board: watching sports. The Broadous try to steal
with "sick". Got it for 62! Other answers: work around
home, church is boring, not religious.
Round 2: something kids
skip (6). Maribel fires with school, number one! That's
all they get as the Broadous try to steal again, this
time with "chores"... Not there! The Salazars get 38!
Other answers: skip meal/eating, skip rope (said!), skip
homework, skip brushing teeth, skip a grade (also
said!).
Double Round: a complaint
people have about city streets (full board).
Angelica hits the top with potholes. Dirt, traffic,
width, street lights, and... accidents? The Salazars
hope so... Not there! The Broadous have 252! Other
answer: limited parking.
Triple Round: an animal
on Noah's Ark that took up a lot of space (4). Ricardo
goes for the big one, an elephant. Giraffe also makes
the survey, but the Broadouses go with hippopotami for
the steal... Good to win, 504-38. Other answer: cow.
Cousins Lillian & Shyann
try again at the Fast Money Board, but just don't make
it. They score 153 for $765, a two-day total of $1480.
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. |

Jeopardy! by

Eleanor Ainslie
(medical student from Philadelphia); $13,300 |
|
Dave Halliday
(travel marketer from Williamsburg, VA) |
|
Joanna Stromberg
(attorney from Bethesda, MD) |
Be our guest today as
we're on the stage of "Disney's Beauty & The Beast" on
Broadway, baby. That's one of six picks today as Eleanor
starts with $200 Novel Vocabulary. Dave finds the Daily
Double under $1000 in "B" in Fashion. With only $600, he
bets just the $200 on USA's oldest clothing retailer, an
upscale, once family-run business who collared the
market on men's apparel since 1818. "What is Brooks
Bros.?" Right on for $800! We run out of time before
clearing the board, and Dave takes the lead with $4600
to Joanna's $2400. Eleanor, not far behind with $2000,
starts Double Jeopardy!...
Or does she? Eleanor is
credited with a correct answer that Alex mistook as
wrong, meaning that she is now in second with $3200. So
it's Joanna who will start the next round...
... with $400 Italian
Cuisine. Dave finds the first Daily Double under $1200
Angolan History. At second with $6200, he fronts $2200
on this: around 2000 years ago, member of this large
African ethnolinguistic group began settling in Angola.
"What is Bantu?" Right for the tie, $8400 to Eleanor's
$8400 as well. Dave completes the trifecta with $1200
Japanese Geography (they also had a category called
Global "Village"). He bets $4000 on this: the seaport of
Naha is on this Japanese island that was the site of a
fierce WWII battle in April 1945. "What is Iwo Jima?"
That.... is wrong. It was Okinawa, as he drops to
$11,400. He gains another $1600 to tie Eleanor at
$13,200 to end the round, with Joanna at $5600.
Final Jeopardy!
in "War & Peace": in 1839 the first of several
wars broke out over the trade of an extract from a
flower of this family. Correct
question: What is poppy?
Joanna is the only one
right. She'll double up. Dave loses everything, and
Eleanor only loses $2000, meaning that we have a tie!
Women rule the day today as Eleanor returns with $24,500
and Joanna returns with $11,200 as co-champions! Dave
returns to Williamsburg with $1000. |

The
Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS
(markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker |
|
|
New Barker's Beauty in the
persona of "Deal or No Deal's" Mylinda Tov today. So
that makes two Beauties in Howie's gallery. But enough
about the end of February, let's look at the beginning.
Deanna Buelow, Krystin Wahl,
David Grometer, and George Hale start the bidding with a
home gym. It's worth $2299. It goes to Deanna, who gets
a chance at a rocker and a spa in the Clock Game. With
little over five ticks left, she gets the rocker, priced
at $799. She stops at $800 when time is called on the
Comfort Spa-to-Go, priced at $899.
A majestic manatee is up
for bids in round 2... or should we say, a painting of
"Majestic Manatee". George wins it, priced at $2400, as
he looks for the shortest path between him and a Chevy
Malibu. Unfortunately, he's stopped before he ever
begins. First number is one. He gets a choice among 3,
6, 8, and 9. He goes for 8. WRONG. He tries getting
passes from a stand mixer... Nope. How about a toaster?
Sorry. A food dehydrator? Game over. You lose.
Correct price, by the
way, was $19,457.
Joshua Porter, a sailor
in the Navy, sails up in round 3 thanks to an acoustic
guitar worth $749. Time to play the Grand Game with
these: Theragesic cream, Glad Forceflex, Goldfish
crackers, Maxwell House decaf, Jif extra crunchy, and
Bruce's yams. Target price: $4.25. He goes with the
crackers first... 89c! He goes with the yams... $1.29!
He goes with the peanut butter... $2.99! He goes on with
the decaf... Ouch, $4.75. No more money for him... now,
but watch him on the Wheel as he spins out $6000.
A tandem bike starts the
second half with Krystin winning the $699 wheels... But
she'll fly to Montreal and Jamaica if she knows where to
put the 1 Right Price of $4534. She... doesn't. She
tries Jamaica... but it's $5554.
Surely Colin Taira can
pull us out of this... He wins a $700 pair of
Blackberries. Those would be the PDAs, not the fruit. He
goes center stage to play That's Too Much! for a Ford
Focus. He thinks that $17,995 is Too Much! But it's...
Too Little. Should've waited one more square with
$19,230 next... The car is $18,095.
One more chance for
George, and one more chance for us to get SOME winner
out of this... But it's Amelya Hall who wins a wine
server cart worth $800. If she saves the show, she'll
get a catamaran. Of course, she gets a formidable foe:
Pick-a-Number. The setup: $94_5. Choosing from 2, 6, and
8, she goes with 6... Should've gone with 2, and this
show smells like a SKUNK. But it's not a total skunk, as
Amelya scores $1000 on the Big Wheel and joins Joshua in
the Showcase.
First up: when should you
fire someone? a) They steal coffee from your
coffee/espresso machine. b) They take a trip to
Switzerland. c) They make off with the Hi-Lo trailer.
Top winner Joshua passes to Amelya, who bids $15,500.
Joshua gets a new living room with carpeting, ski
equipment, and a snowmobile. He bids $16,000. Actual
price: $16.... 407. No two-fer, but close. Actual price
of Amelya's Showcase: $29,511. Joshua's the big winner
today with $23,196.
Stats: shutout, $31,893. |

It's February...it's
sweeps month...it's the middle of "Viva Las Vegas"
week! The $1,000 Tossup is PHRASE. Joe Durino is from
Kansas City, MO. He is an assistant city attorney and
solved MONEY WELL SPENT for $1,000. Karen Cuellar is
from Denim Springs, LA. She has 4 children--and is a
preschool teacher and doula. Stephanie Bell is from
Corona, NY. She has 2 boys. She is a poker player.
The $2,000 Tossup is
PERSON. Joe is two for two with BLUSHING BRIDE. We add
a trip to the Wynn Las Vegas worth $4,100. He has
$3,000 and starts this round which is NEXT LINE
PLEASE. He misses...over to Karen. She misses...over
to Stephanie. She hits the Wynn Las Vegas Trip. She
hits a $2,500 R. She misses...over to Joe who solves
SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL for $600. And he gives SPEAK
NO EVIL for $3,000 more. He has $6,600.
The Jackpot round is
sponsored by Eggland's Best Eggs. The category is FUN
AND GAMES...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. Karen starts. She
misses...over to Stephanie. She hits 2 $3,500 M's. And
after a lot of work...she loses $8,300 on Bankrupt.
She uses the Free Spin she hit earlier in the round
and hits Lose A Turn. Over to Joe who solves IRONMAN
TRIATHLON COMPETITION for no cash, but he did remember
it's a prize puzzle. And that happens in HAWAII. It's
a Pleasant Holidays trip with Airfare from Aloha
Airlines worth $6,650. And if you have CM12823...you
off to Hawaii and if you have the Sony Card...you have
$50,000! He has $13,250!
The mystery round prize is
$10,000. The category is SAME NAME. Stephanie starts
and misses...over to Joe. He misses...over to Karen.
She hits the 4 piece Ricardo Luggage set. She
misses...back to Stephanie. She hits the $1,000
Vegas.com gift certificate. She misses... over to Joe.
He hits the mystery wedge...will he risk the money he
has earned...he does and it's the $10,000! He solves
ALPHABETICAL & TAKEOUT ORDER for $11,500. He has
$24,750!
The $3,000 Tossup is ON
THE MAP. He sweeps the tossups with NEW BRUNSWICK. He
has $27,750. Joe starts this round which is LIVING
THING. He misses, Karen hits Bankrupt and it's over to
Stephanie. She solves SCOTTISH TERRIER for
$1,850...and we have time for another puzzle.
It's AROUND THE HOUSE.
Final SPIN time however...$1,600 a letter tonight. Joe
quickly solved PERSONALIZED STATIONERY for $3,200. He
wins with $30,950! Stephanie leaves with $1,850 and
Karen had no luck against the wheel and Joe. She
leaves with $1,000.
Joe is one of the best
players this season. I have a really good feeling
about this. He lands on the ** wedge. His category is
PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:
_ _ ST _ _ N _
_ T
He chooses GPDO and we have:
_ _ ST _ _ N G
_ T
And he didn't have to JUST
WING IT! He won $25,000 more to his excellent total!
He leaves with $55,950 in cash and prizes. The best
player of the year so far, in my opinion!

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |
|
Another day, another hope
that someone will go all the way up the Millionaire
ladder...
Today's first contestant is Seth Abrams (New York, NY).
Believe it or not, he once had a blind date with Monica
Lewinsky. Yep, that's what he said. After the date, he
never heard from her again, and the next time he heard
about her was while watching TV, when she made the news
for, well, you know. In fact, Seth was once contacted by
the FBI, simply because his number was in Monica's
little black book! Wow. Anyway, Seth starts on the road
to a million bucks by knowing that the title of Louisa
May Alcott's novel about sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy
March is Little Women (figures that D would be Brazen
Hussies, considering what we just heard about Seth). He
easily locks in the $1,000, and soon enough, he faces
this...
[$4,000]
Often marketed as a cure-all for fatigue and aging,
royal jelly is a secretion produced by what animals?
A: Hummingbirds
B: Garden snails
C: Caterpillars
D: Honey bees
Seth asks the audience. 78% of the studio audience says
D, and so does 68% of the AIM users. Seth trusts them...
and they're right! Another question later, and this one
shows up...
[$16,000]
Over half of the electricity consumed in the U.S. is
produced using what fuel source?
A: Coal
B: Nuclear power
C: Natural gas
D: Hydroelectric power
The 50:50 leaves A and D. Seth isn't sure if any of his
friends would know this, so he takes a shot at it,
saying A... and he's right! Moving on...
[$25,000]
Before he became A-list, what actor starred in a James
Dean-inspired video for the Paula Abdul song "Rush
Rush"?
A: Brad Pitt
B: Keanu Reeves
C: George Clooney
D: Johnny Depp
Seth calls his friend Thomas, who is 100% sure that it's
B. Seth goes with that... and he has $25,000! Next
question...
[$50,000]
What musical instrument, invented around 1700, was a
modification of a folk reed-pipe called the "chalumeau"?
A: Bassoon
B: Saxophone
C: Clarinet
D: Oboe
Seth has no idea, so he switches it out. After seeing
that the answer was C, he now sees this...
[$50,000] (Q)
On the TV series "Gilligan's Island," what is Mrs. "Lovey"
Howell's first name?
A: Agnes
B: Eunice
C: Grace
D: Amaryllis
It's a free guess, so Seth just says B... and it's B!
Still going...
[$100,000]
According to the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem,
Hiawatha belongs to what Native American tribe?
A: Chippewa
B: Mohican
C: Shawnee
D: Arapaho
Seth has no clue, so he walks. The answer was A, but it
doesn't matter now, as he is heading home with $50,000!
Next up is Kathryn Markey (New York, NY). She got a few
bits of advice from her sons. Her 8-year-old son had her
memorize all the characters from "Lemony Snicket", and
her 5-year-old son said to ask him if a "Star Wars"
question comes up. So, if either of those 2 subjects
does come up, at least she'll be ready for them. Kathryn
starts by knowing that Apollo 11 was the first manned
spacecraft to land on the moon. She completes the lower
tier, then has this...
[$2,000]
What does the "N" stand for in the CBS hit drama "NCIS"?
A: Negative
B: North
C: Naval
D: Natural
Kathryn decides to ask the audience. 87% of the studio
audience and 85% of the AIM users say C. Kathryn goes
with C... and it's C!
Time is up for today. Kathryn will be back tomorrow. |
