STAY TUNED...

Family Feud by Chico Alexander and Chris Tufts, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn

Kimbell (Connie, Jenny, Karolin, Joann, Candice); $20,755, two days

Naeim (Behnaz, Arash, Beata, Behnoosh, Mike)

As the Kimbells prepare for their third match, we say congrats to the Feud for picking up an eighth season! As for today, apparently FremantleMedia believes a Feud is better when you gather 'round the good stuff, as we have another Pizza Hut-sponsored guerre des clans...

Round 1: something you want to know about a movie before you go see it (7). Behnaz fires with the rating... Number one! The rest of the Naeims get who's in it, the reviews, the story, the director, how long it is, and... what time does it start? The Kimbells hope so... Not there! The Naeims get 97! Other answer: violent.

Round 2: something you'd have at a Hawaiian theme party (6). Arash jumps in headlong with a luau... Number one answer! Leis, hula girls, drinks, grass skirts, and... the Kimbells hope it's music... Got it for 88!

We've got a nine-point Feud on our hands.... Pizza break! Pizza break over!

Double Round: something department stores don't allow you to do (full board). Beata says eat/drink... number 2. We're not fooling. Mike gets #3, steal. Arah gets #4, trying on the underwear. The Kimbells try "running through the store" for the steal... No! The Naeims get 197! Number one: smoke. Other answer: undress in aisles, open things.

Triple Round: something people have a hard time holding onto (4). Joann gets #1, money. That's all they get, but it's enough to win for either family. The Naeims get one last shot with "words". Not there! The Kimbells win, 319-197! Other answers: relationships, jobs, animals.

Connie and Candice get some good answers in, but alas, it's not enough. 171 means another $855, a three-day total of $21,610. And just for getting this far, how about a Pizza Hut gift card? Hyper actor-in-training not included.

Next week, ten players are inducted into the Family Feud Ex-Spouses' Club. It's another Battle of the Divorced Couples week.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Eleanor Ainslie (medical student from Philadelphia); $41,400, three days

Jennifer Kelly (college instructor from Madison, AL)

Jared Poppel (consultant from Bellevue, WA)

Twenty-four hours after sharing the title with someone, Eleanor has it all by her lonesome as she faces two new challengers. Remember, today's champ will have a two-week sabbatical as the teens take over for the next fortnight.

Eleanor starts with $200 NBA Teams in Other Words, but it's Jared who finds its Daily Double under $1000. Tied at $600, he risks $1000 on "the King Charles I supporters." "Who are the Cavaliers?" Right for $1600! He parlays that into a lead of $6200 at the half to Eleanor's $5800. Jennifer, with a close $4200, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Spielberg Movies by Quote. Jared, out to an astonishing lead, gets the first Daily Double under $800 World Authors and bets $1000 on this: Turgenev regarded this author of "The Cossacks" as the "Great Author of the Russian Land." "Who is Dostoyevsky?" Nope, it was Tolstoy, bumping him back to $13,600. Jennifer finds the second Daily Double under $1200 Royalty & Ballet. Running out of clues and time, she too only bets $1000 on the king who founded the Academie Royale de Danse. "Who is Louis XIV?" Right on for $6800. She ends in second with $8800 to Eleanor's $8600. Meanwhile, it's Jared's game to lose with $19,600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Notable Women": in 1967, Dame Cicely Saunders founded St. Christopher's, the first modern one of these; in 2005 she died there. Correct question: What is a hospice?

No one gets it right, and worse off for Eleanor, it cost her everything. It's the end of the road for her as she leaves with $42,400. Meanwhile, Jared only bets four bills to win with $19,200. He'll be back in two weeks, but next week, we move over to GSNN Primes for 2006 Teen Tournament coverage, where anything happen. Heck, the last winner of one of these babies, Michael Braun, wound up playing for $2 million in the UTOC... Unfortunately he didn't get past the first round.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker

Remember, Monday's the debut of the new pricing game!

Today is the debut of Suzanne Chavez, Josephine Moore, Rebecca Wright, and Sarah Wayne. Together, these ladies have a shot at a fridge/freezer. It costs $1349. It goes to Josephine. She'd like to strap that thing onto the back of two offroaders, but it's too big. And lucky for us, we have the only person in the house who can play Check Game (and the other 69 games to boot)! She writes her check out for $2250. Actual price of the motorcycles: $4188. Total: $6438. The only person who can play the Check Game, and she loses...

Maybe Sarah can brighten the mood up as she wins a $1094 home theatre system. But she'd rather have a Ford Focus! She'll win that... OR an Armani sculpture... OR the contents of Bob's piggy bank. After the 5, 6, 8, 9, 2, 3, and 7, we're down to the final pick among the car ($16,_32), the sculpture ($85_), and the piggy bank ($7._9). She goes with 4.... And she wins the car! It's $16,432.

Rebecca Makes Her Move to the stage after winning a $632 set of books. But can she Make Her Move for a jewelry box, cookware, and an HDTV? The lineup: 5 0 5 6 0 6 1 9 8. She thinks the jewelry box is $50, the cookware is $198, and the HDTV is $5606.. She wanted to rethink that... Then she didn't. She should've rethought that. The HDTV was actually $6198 and the cookware, $560. She loses the game and her place in the Showcase to Josephine.

Suzanne starts the second half of play with an $1195 three-stone pendant (C-Note: remember, this Valentine's Day, say "I forever do"). She gets to play the Poker Game for a crystal aperitif set, a gumball machine, a dinette, and luggage. Suzanne starts with the dinette worth $833. She follows with the gumball machine worth $999. That gives her what we call at the 'Net nines full of treys. She keeps it. The aperitif set is also $999. But the luggage was $580. Full boat beats three nines for the win! Incidentally, had she gone for the gumball machine and the aperitif set, she would've had the highest hand possible, five nines.

Charles Bumbard, a sailor in the US Navy, gets to Pass the Buck after winning a $1063 set of dumbbells. The reward for passing successfully: a Chevrolet HHR! And maybe a little cash... First pair: Glad Press'n Seal at $2.99 and Energizer hearing-aid batteries at $7.99. He passes left... Wrong. Next up: Hot Pockets at $2.29, and Tums Smoothies at $2.99. He passes right, and right he is. So with his two picks, he gets $3000 and the CAR!

Nora Meyers gets a three-in-one game table worth $669, and a chance at a trip to Acapulco worth... well, that's to be determined as we play Freeze Frame. She freezes the Frame at $5210... Wrong. Had she waited two more clicks, she would've gotten the prize. It was $3540. But don't cry for her, as her 60c score is good enough to get her into the Showcase.

First up: a new bedroom with sleep set, camping equipment, and an ATV. Top winner Josephine passes to Nora, who bids $14,900. Josephine, meanwhile, gets to have a ball with a basketball hoop, another ball with a CD jukebox, and another ball with a ski boat! Her bid: $28,000. Actual price: $29,184, only $1184 from her bid. Actual price if Nora's Showcase: $17,877, a difference of $2977. Close, but it's all about Josephine, who wins $30,533.

Stats: even, $75,059.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

Last time, Carla Gilruth (Montclair, NJ) needed a couple of lifelines, but she made it to $16,000. How much farther will she go this time?

The home that Carla lives in is her husband Dave's childhood home. It is 100 years old, and could use some work, since things keep falling apart there. The $16,000 could go towards plenty of work on the house, but more would really come in handy. So, the game resumes, and she easily secures $25,000! Going into the upper tier, now...

[$50,000]
Invented in the 18th century, an orrery is a mechanical model that demonstrates what phenomenon?
A: Circulation of blood
B: Movement of the tides
C: Orbit of the planets
D: Sound waves

Carla decides to switch out the question. Once the answer is revealed (it's C), this is switched in...

[$50,000] (Q)
The century-old march "Entry of the Gladiators," is traditionally heard in what setting?
A: Military funeral
B: Circus
C: College graduation
D: Racetrack

Carla calls her brother-in-law Leon, who doesn't know, but guesses C. With nothing to lose here, Carla goes with C... but it's B! Well, at least she has $25,000!

Bounding onto the set now is Steve Sterner (New York, NY). He actually auditioned for the show last year; he took the test, was interviewed, and was rejected. But one day, on his way to a different type of audition (he's an actor), he suddenly decided to try again. He went through another test and another interview, and now, here he is! And Steve starts by knowing that the mechanical device commonly said to make the sound "vroom, vroom" is a car's engine. He soon gets the $1,000, then after a break, he recalls his appearance on another show, Wheel of Fortune. He even shows how he reached for the wheel to spin it! No wheels here, though; just questions, and he goes through another couple of 'em before reaching this...

[$8,000]
In March 2005, what veteran newsman replaced Dan Rather as anchor of "The CBS Evening News"?
A: Scott Pelley
B: Harry Smith
C: Bob Schieffer
D: John Roberts

[$25,000]
What U.S. real estate franchise claims to own the largest hot-air balloon fleet in the world?
A: RE/MAX
B: Century 21
C: Coldwell Banker
D: ERA

Steve decides to phone a friend. After remembering who he has on his list, he goes with his poker buddy Danny, who thinks it's A. Steve was considering B, though, so he then uses the 50:50, leaving A and D. He goes with A... and he has $25,000! Moving on...

[$50,000]
In reference to its famous chile peppers, what state has adopted as its official question "Red or green?"
A: Arizona
B: New Mexico
C: Texas
D: Louisiana

Steve doesn't know, so he switches the question. We find out that the answer was B, then this comes up...

[$50,000] (Q)
Charlotte Cooper, the first woman to win an individual Olympic gold medal, won in 1900 in what sport?
A: Gymnastics
B: Diving
C: Tennis
D: Sailing

Steve goes with B... but it's C! Oh well; he had nothing to lose there, and he goes home with $25,000!

That will do it for this week. But for now, I have a question for you...

[$Nothing]
Next week, Meredith and the crew will be at Walt Disney World for a week of episodes of Millionaire, titled "Walk In and" what?
