Darouvar (Sandra,
Sabrina, Sharon, John, Simon)
New York
$2375, three days |
Craven
(Thomas, Tish, Christy, Toree, Calisha)
McMinnville, TN |
The Darouvars are still looking to
break the mark at Fast Money, but first, they have to go through a
lot of heart in the Cravens.
Round 1: a kind of play that would be a tight spot for a romantic
encounter (6). An airplane bathroom is #2 for Sandra. Sabrina
would rather have it in the backseat of her car for #1. Closet is
also good. The Cravens try with love in an elevator... Got it for
55. Other answers: phone booth, movie/theater.
Round 2: something a man might blame his big belly on (5). Sabrina
fires with beer for #1. Lack of exercise, genes, and a good wife
to cook for him follow. The Cravens blame age... Good for 149.
Double: a place you've been to at 3 in the morning (5). Sharon
gets #1, a bar. Rest of the champs get a restaurant, a casino,
your own bed, and... three strikes. The Cravens try to steal with
a hospital... Good enough for 281!
Triple: a TV show with any form of the word "America" in it (4).
John gets the big one, "American Idol", for control, but the
family elects to pass it. The Cravens get "America's Funniest Home
Videos", "Good Morning America", and "America's Most Wanted" for
the shutout, 551-0.
Fast Money: Thomas & Toree team up for 208 for $20,000.
In the nightcap, the Russ family (Van, Van II, Shawntee, Donna, Sonia;
$1270) see about the See family (Sarah, Emily, Amy, Todd, Danny). Sees
are sweet going into the tripler leading 227-40. Triple: if you wanted
to become the next Hugh Hefner, something you'd need to get (4). John
gets the ladies for #2. Danny gets #1, money. A robe is also up there.
A mansion wins it for the challengers, 482-40.
Fast Money: Amy & Sarah get 235 for $20,000. |

Alison knows how to play the game, but does
she know how to defend the crown?
Alison Kolani
Queens, NY
copy editor
$13,601 |
Aileen Hawkins
Dana Point, CA
stay-at-home mom |
Katie Furlong
Louisville, KY
restaurant server |
Alison starts with $200 Bridges.
Guest cluereader Emeril Lagasse takes us to break with Katie
leading at $1400 against Aileen's $1200. Alison still has yet to
get off the schneid.
Aileen finds the Daily Double under $1000 Letter Perfect. She bets
the level on this: during the Civil War, soldiers who cut out on
the Army & went AWOL were often branded with this letter. "What is
X?" Nope, it's D for deserter, leaving her with $2000, tied with
Alison. She would later falter with $1800 to her $2800. Katie
would play in the middle with $2000. Aileen gets the go-ahead to
start Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400 "B" Happy, where Katie finds the first Daily Double
under $1600. She fronts $1800 on this: over time, the ancient
language of Akkadian split into 2 dialects, Assyrian & this. "What
is ... I don't know." Babylonian. She drops to $1400. Alison finds
the second Daily Double under $1600 Exiting George W. Bush's
Cabinet. She bets just $800 on this: his 2004 resignation letter
cited the tragedy of Flight 93 & this thanks for "the opportunity
to fight back". "Who is Tom Ridge." That is the right response,
but Rumsfeld costs her just the $800 to drop to $6000, still
within striking range of Katie's $7000 and Aileen's $8200.
Just a quick reminder. Next week begins J!'s Teen Tournament.
Final Jeopardy! in "North American Geography": this 1980-mile
river that starts in Canada is the longest in the Western
Hemisphere that flows to the Pacific Ocean. Correct response: what
is the Yukon River?
Alison loses everything. Katie... loses everything. Aileen... only
drops to $2399 to win. Alison leaves with $14,601. |

Betsy gets to spoil Joe. She also
finds the first Extra and bets $250 on this 'Queen in the game of
chess, Ironically'...blank. Man drops her to $1,000. Joe finds the
second Extra after spoiling Betsy. 'Light-Sensitive Device' is
worth $600. Sensor gets him up to $3,050 and a nice lead over
Barbara, who has $1,200. Edward spoils...Barbara? Huh? Whatever
floats your boat, but he's trailing Joe at the break
$3,450-$1,100.
Roound 3: Betsy spoils, and unlike Edward, she finds the right
podium to spoil - Joes. joe takes the podium back at $5,050...and
the last Extra of the game. He bets $1,500 on this - 'Chancellor
Bismarck. 'Otto' gets him up to $6,550...but can he hold on to it?
Yes he can (despite 2 questions going unanswered) and Joe wins
with $6,950.
If he wins the bonus round, he'll be up to $11,950 and will be
going to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. He destroys the puzzle in
impressive fashion, with over 40 seconds left. We'll see if this
turns into a 2 week-Chicago marathon on Monday

Happy Friday from TPIR, as we welcome
Caroline Palanjian, Jose Gutierrez de Arroyo, Elsa Alvarado, Patricia
Scott, and a bumper pool table. $3100 is the price, as Patricia wins the
chance at a water trike and a pair of watches. We're thinking about a
pair of watches in Safecrackers. The dials: 0 5 6. She tries $650...
Nothing. It was $560.
Elsa gets $1125 in a sofa. Can she win a 2008 Chevrolet HHR? She can if
she can put a wee ball into a wee hole with a weapon ill-designed for
said purpose. Hall's Naturals... $2.15. V8... $3.15. NutraMist Energy
Shot... $7.99. Fiber Choice... $12.49. Energizer hearing aid
batteries... $8.99. So we're putting at fourth line up. Drew has yet to
make an inspiration putt (he may want to take a golf date with WGMC over
the summer). But Elsa's putt? No problem.
Caroline gets inline skates worth $810. Next, a dinette, four guitars,
and an ATV. Which is the Most Expensive? She goes with the guitars. The
dinette: $1199. The ATV ... $2499. The guitars... $1976. D'oh!
Patricia spins out a win in the Showdown. Will Mary Branch join her
later? She gets a $525 patio heater and a chance at a trip to Aruba in
Cliffhangers. First up: a giant remote. She guesses $40... it's $25. A
Queen of Hearts doll... $60? Hardly. It's $30, which means our friend
Hans is going cliff-DIVING, not cliff-hanging.
Barbara Cooper goes down and up thanks to a $2425 set of child's
furniture. Can she win a 2008 Pontiac Vibe? She gets the Money Game...
91 36 75
80 20 19
46 21 55
Middle number: 0. She tries the 36 first? Wha? That's money. The 19's
the front. 55 and 75... Money. She draws the 80 and wins... $246. The 46
was the back of the car. That was panic. So panic.
Last chance for Jose with a power tool set. Price: $1140. Winner...
Sheree Coleman. She gets a shot at a Jacuzzi, which is either $16,286 or
$14,640. She picks $14,640... Win!
Barbara gets the runner-up spot in the Showcase. First up, prizes for
the indecisive. an HDTV, a jukebox, and a Hi-Lo trailer. Patricia passes
to Barbara, who bids $18,500. Patricia has the mind of a spider with a
sewing machine, a Mac, and a 2008 Chevrolet Impala. She tags it at
$21,500. Actual price: $26,238, a difference of $4738. Actual price of
Barbara's Showcase... $30,437, a difference of $11,000 and change.
Patricia wins the day with $29,338. |

Troy |
Lisa Marie |
INSTANT CASH: $500 |
We don't know anything about Troy and
Lisa Marie. Maybe they are aliens from the planet Boogie Boogie.
After Speed Round #1: Robyn -$25 Troy - $25 Lisa Marie - $40
Instant Bargain #1: 2 Round Trip Tickets to anywhere in the Continental
U.S. and a $500 shopping spree to wherever you go. It's a $15 deal for
Lisa Marie - and she quickly buys. Lisa Marie gives up the lead - and
Robyn grabs it when she gets Dollywood on the Fame Game.
After Knock Off: Robyn -$52 Troy - $37 Lisa Marie - $49
Instant Bargain #2: a Lapson brown leather tote bag, matching wallet,
lipstick case and key chain worth $1,200. Robyn can have it for $10, but
I don't see Robyn giving up her lead for a bag. Will she buy it for $7?
No. $7 and $100? No. $7 and $200? No. Robyn says it looks better on
Rossi. No Comment.
After Speed Round #2: Robyn -$72 Troy - $47 Lisa Marie - $54
Instant Cash: Robyn is not going to be silly enough to give up an $18
lead to go for $500, will she? No, she isn't. White one? No. Brown one?
Yes. $1,000 next time. Who's heading off for bigger stakes?
After Speed Round #3: Robyn -$82 Troy - $47 Lisa Marie - $94
Lisa Marie comes from behind to play BUZZER NINJA to win. Robyn leaves
with $4,600, which is not a bad haul. Troy has...no haul. Awww. Lisa
Marie has $1,500 worth of haul, and could haul off some of this in
Shopper's Paradise...

Lisa has $219 in the account, which is a very strong start. The Kitchen
Appliances can be hers, but a second day win will guarantee her the
second level (which may be different on Monday). Lisa Marie...decides to

Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire
by Don Harpwood
Air time: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
Website:

|
Christian Higgins & Kim Mitchell (Tampa, FL)
enter the last day of Wedding Week at $2,000. And at the top of the
show, Meredith tells them that they're going to receive free wedding
rings, thanks to Gurhan Wedding Bands! And they get to design them!
Sounds like a sweet deal! Now, let's see how much money they'll win...
[$8,000]
In 2005, Sandra Bullock married a cable TV star who claims to be related
to what Wild West figure?
A: Jesse James
B: Buffalo Bill Cody
C: Doc Holliday
D: Wyatt Earp
Christian has an idea, but he & Kim decide to ask the audience. 90% are
saying A. They trust them... and it's A!
[$25,000]
"The rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and back down
the hole again" is a common mnemonic for tying what type of knot?
A: Sheepshank
B: Half-hitch
C: Square
D: Bowline
Christian says it's not C. Kim feels that it's either A or B. They call
their friend, Jimmy, and he's 85-90% sure that it's D. They go with D...
and they have $25,000! Then, after switching a question, they see
this...
[$50,000] (Q)
"Sparks" are often visible when you bite into "Wint O Green" Life Savers
because the candy contains what substance?
A: Carnauba wax
B: Methyl salicylate
C: Glycerol
D: Soy lecithin
Kim is thinking B. They go with that... and Kim is right!
[$100,000]
What author's wife, Nora, reportedly suggested to him that he write
"sensible books that people can understand"?
A: Vladimir Nabokov
B: James Joyce
C: William Faulkner
D: Franz Kafka
The 50:50 leaves B and D. After talking about it for a bit, they decide
to walk. After seeing that it was B, they leave with $50,000!
Troy Mihalick & Bethany Crumm (Phoenix, AZ): They're getting married in
2 days after this taping! Sounds like they'd better get started, then!
They secure $1,000, and they get to $4,000 before time runs out. Well,
although Wedding Week is done, Troy & Bethany's game isn't, so it looks
like they'll be returning on Monday. But before the show ends, they get
their gift for being here this week; thanks to Brides.com, they'll
receive limo service for 14!
Oh, and one more thing. 2 couples who didn't make it to the double Hot
Seat this week will be getting their gifts anyway...
