Ex-Husbands (Brian, Otis, Tim, Mark, Louis); zero games, $2500
Ex-Wives (Patti, Debra, Pam, Ashley, Andrea); two games, $20,000

Yesterday, the ex-wives finally got on the money board after winning two games.

Round 1: 100 men, when it comes to women, something more important to you than a great bod (5). Tim likes the personality for number one. They also like brains, kindness, money, and ... a good cook? The ladies hope so... Not! The guys get 81! Other answer: beauty/looks.

Round 2: something people replace, even if the old one is still working (6). Otis fires with the TV... Number one! We also replace a car, a watch, and a fridge. The ladies try again with computer. Nope. The guys have 142. Other answers: toaster, significant other.

Double Round: something everyone tries to get out of (5). Patti gets work, number two. Andrea gets #3, trouble... And it's getting ugly, not just the answers, but the competition! The guys try to steal with jury duty... Number one answer! They have 188. Other answers: housework/chores, a lie.

Triple Round: a place where women dress sexy (4).  Louis hits money with the club. They also get the beach and the bedroom. The wedding does it for the guys as they win, 476-0.

Tim and Big Louis go for the Fast Money. Tim ends up with only 46 points... Louis takes the guys to 186, giving the Ex-Wives another $2500.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Rachel Frank. Michael Vasquez. Erin Fisher. Arzie Dennis. By the end of this act, one of these people will be $500 richer. And it's all because someone bid $3000 on a pool table. That someone... Erin. She gets to play for a hot tub in Pushover. Given this: 8 1 2 9 5 1 2 5 0, she pushes five to $5125... and wins the hot tub!

Rachel isn't a pushover herself, as she wins a baker's rack worth $1700 and a chance to buy a Dodge Charger for Pocket Change. It's worth $23,489... but it'll cost her $1.50 after six mistakes. She starts with 25c... then gets another dime... another quarter... another three quarters... and another dime. Total: $1.45. Not enough.

Belinda Powell wins a keyboard in round 3 worth $900. Time to play for a cotton candy cart, an HDTV, and a cradle. The cart is $1408... maybe. The TV is $2599... maybe. The cradle is $2159... maybe. See, one of these prices is wrong, hence the name of the game, One Wrong Price. She goes with the cradle, and it's... $3225! Winner winner!

Rachel spins her way into the Showcase after scoring 85c. Meanwhile, Arzie wins a $599 fireplace... and it's about to get hot, because it's time to play... PLINKO! Using chips from Bob, a mailbox, a breakfast maker, a food dehydrator, and a cookie press, he scores $12,000!

Oh, did we mention that there's another Million Dollar Spectacular on? It's on Tuesday at 8p ET. So program your VCR to record Idol, but watch this one live!

Debra Shaw comes around in round 4, but leaves in round 5. Her prize, a $532 secretary desk. From four legs to four wheels as she plays for a Chevrolet Malibu in That's Too Much! She thinks that $18,941 is Too Much... and it's Just Short. Price: $19,457. Should've gone one more.

Two bikes, $1200, winner... Michael! Finally free from Bidder's Row, he plays for a living room. The game: Hi-Lo. According to Michael, Capzasin P ($12.99), Garlique ($13.99), and Clorox bath wand ($9.99) all go on the Hi row... On the Lo row, NesQuik at $4.39, Westbrae Natural Salad Beans at 99c... and Jelly Belly jelly beans... for $2.99!

So who joins Rachel in the Showcase? Both Debra and Arzie spin 75c on the Wheel. Debra spins 15c in the Spin-Off, but Arzie scores 40c to win!

First in the Showcase... Docks, like the one you put a digital camera on, the dock at SpaceCamp in Huntsville, AL, and the dock you park a sailboat on. Top winner Arzie passes to Rachel, who bids $24,995. Arzie, meanwhile, gets a visit from Literal Lisa, who has an iPod, a trip to Tahiti, and a Pontiac Vibe! He bids $25,000. Actual price... $23,247. D'oh! Arzie's over... Rachel's price: $34,806. She wins $36,506 in prizes!

Stats: 4-2, $71,686

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
As Walk In and Win (or, as Maddie Suchard called it, Walk In and Llama) Week continues, Chris Cocker (Bessemer, NC) is at the $2,000 level, with 2 lifelines still available.

[Looks like Mickey Mouse decided to make another appearance after letting Minnie take care of things yesterday.]

Chris' wife (along with his bulldog) aren't here; he says they're probably driving around, as they can't afford a hotel room. And they're heading right back home once he's done here. No wonder they need the money... Anyway, the game resumes...

[$4,000]
Of the AFI's "100 Greatest Movie Quotes," the only quote that features a Spanish phrase is from what movie?
A: Titanic
B: Taxi Driver
C: Terminator 2
D: E.T.

Chris calls his aunt Cindy, but she has no idea. Well, that didn't work; why not use the 50:50? He does, and it leaves B and C. With that, Chris says B... but he's wrong! It's C! Well, at least $1,000 is better than nothing, as Mickey leads Chris outta there.

Number time again. This time, it's 174, and that brings Valerie Enrique (Oviedo, FL) to the hot seat. And it just so happens that she is pregnant. And it also turns out that she's an ultrasonographer, meaning she does ultrasounds for a living. Yes, she has used it to check on her own baby, and it'll be a girl. So naturally, she could certainly use plenty of money. So, Valerie starts by knowing that according to classical mythology, getting struck by one of Cupid's arrows causes a person to fall in love (though the person may end up wanting to punch Cupid in the face first; arrows hurt, you know). She easily completes the lower tier, and is on a roll heading into this...

[$25,000]
In 2005, what country threatened to sue Yale to recover artifacts taken from the Machu Picchu ruins almost a century ago?
A: Peru
B: Cambodia
C: Mexico
D: Panama

Valerie goes with A... and she has $25,000! Yep, believe it or not, a player from Walk In and Win Week made it to the upper tier without using any lifelines! So, with 4 lifelines available now, she moves on to this...

[$50,000]
What is the age difference between Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2005?
A: 8 years
B: 12 years
C: 15 years
D: 18 years

Valerie decides to ask the audience. 47% of the studio audience says D, with 39% saying C. But in the AIM poll, 35% says C, with 32% saying D. With results like those, I can't really blame Valerie for using the 50:50 here. But guess what? C and D are left. Yipes. With that, Valerie decides to just trust the studio audience, going with D... but it was the AIM audience that was right! It was C! At least there was nothing to lose at this level, so Valerie is heading home $25,000 richer!

Here comes another number. And it's 138, which belongs to Connie Marich (Sparks, NV). They get right to it, and Connie knows that one activity classified as a "contact sport" is boxing (I think there's a joke concerning puberty and "contact sport", but I'm not going there). She soon gets the $1,000, then eventually reaches this...

[$4,000]
What government officials traditionally give an annual speech called the "State of the State address"?
A: U.S. Ambassadors
B: Supreme Court Justices
C: Attorneys General
D: Governors

Connie asks the audience. An astounding 95% of the studio audience says D, and the AIM poll isn't working for this question. Connie trusts the audience... and they're right!

That's all for today. Connie will return tomorrow.
