Today is

100 Mexicanos Dijeron by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Ex-Husbands (Brian, Otis, Tim, Mark, Louis); one game, $2500
Ex-Wives (Patti, Debra, Pam, Ashley, Andrea); two games, $22,500

Yesterday, the ex-husbands finally got a game, but the women got the money from it. Today, they can tie in both categories

Round 1: love is the right reasons; name one of the wrong reasons (5). Debra fires with money, number one. Also wrong: sex, children, retaliation, and... pressure? The Ex-Husbands hope so... there it is. And they get 98.

Round 2: the talk show you think has the best guests (6). Patti fires with Oprah. Number one! Leno and Letterman also take the board. But what about Ellen DeGeneres? Booyah! The men go to 155. Other answers: Regis & Kelly, Maury "You are NOT the father!" Povich.

Double Round: something you might rent for an hour (full board). Louis gets #2, a steam cleaner. Andrea: "My answer's really bad, but... a hooker?" You're right... that answer is really bad. Mark rents a boat for #5. Tim rents a car for #3. It goes to the ex-wives... They go with hired help... No! The men have 227! Number one: movie/video. Other answers: tools, hotel room.

Triple Round: something that might be called "foul" (any spelling, 4). Mark gets #2, a chicken. Otis gets a foul ball for #3. Brian... I love this. Brian says "a colonic spasm". "That would be a foul smell." It counts! Number one! "Latin derivative of 'who cut the cheese?'" The ex-wives go with "foul language", which will happen if that's #4... And there it is for 273! Time for...

Sudden Death: 100 men, which do you care most about, sex, money, or sports? That's Pam... "Sex." No! Rebound to Tim... "Money!" That's game for the Ex-Husbands, 395-273.

Louis benches Tim and goes to Mark for Fast Money. Mark score from "something you associate with Valentine's Day" (heart) and "someone at a wedding who might wear a boutonnière" (groom) for 132. Louis... skunks out at the end, giving the women $25,000.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Let's get this party started at 33 with Robert Montgomery, Raquel Hernandez, Andrea Gulley, and Courtney Ibarra. They get to start a washer/dryer, which at $1668, goes to Andrea. She'll take two Blackberrys to a Swap Meet, where she hopes to add on a set of golf equipment, a set of flatware, and an exercise bike. She goes with the golf equipment, priced $1345. The price of the two Blackberrys... $900. She should've gone with the flatware.

Who'll sing off with a $960 karaoke machine? That would be Raquel, who gets to go Bonkers over a trip to Mazatlan. The setup: $6248. She goes low, high, high, high. Wrong. Low, high, low, high. Wrong. Low, high, high, low... going with the odds pays off! The trip was $2653.

Gloria Arcinieagas wins in round 3, taking a $750 pair of floor lamps. But how about a Chevrolet HHR to take it home? Gloria's game: Hole in One. The flags: Little Debbie oatmeal creme pies, St. Joseph's Companion, NewPhase, Energizer hearing aid batteries, Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, and Super Poligrip. She goes creme pies, dressing, Poligrip, aspirin, batteries, and NewPhase. The pies are $1.39. The dressing is $2.99. The Poligrip is $3.55. The aspirin... 99c. So she goes from the third line. Bob goes from the first... and the skid is stopped. Gloria's... just started. But it's Hole in One... or Two! She tries again... just lips the left side.

But don't cry for Gloria, as she wins $1000 on the Big Wheel, but her bonus spin didn't go all the way round... and sure enough, she doesn't get to spin again. Should've taken Bob's offer.

Courtney, meanwhile, gets a Playstation 2 with 14 games, two memory cards, and controllers. Total: $675. A trip to the stage for Courtney: priceless. Now the big question. Does an off-road motorcycle cost $1560? Does a sofa cost $2394? Or should she Switch? She switches... and wins!

Remember: MDS Tuesday at 8p! Unless you're watching from the RDU area, in which the game will air after an ACC hoops game, the late news, Dave, and Craig at 2:07a. Here's a tip: set your recorders to tape from 1:30a to 3:30a.

Scott Barnett, who bid a buck on the Playstation, wins an $1125 ladies watch. Now watch this... It's a Ford Focus! He can win that playing Money Game. The setup...

80 17 30
75 16 15
44 50 98

Middle number: 6. First: 16. That's... $16. 17 is the front of the car. She also goes 80, 98, and 75... And with the $16, it's $269. The back was under 30.

Last chance for Robert with a Big Green Egg on tap. At $900, it goes to... Daniel Thomas. He plays the Bonus Game for a travel trailer. He controls the windows he won winning a cordless phone, a buffet grill, and a rotary shaver. Where's the bonus? The grill! But that's all the winning he'll do, as Courtney wins $1000 on the Wheel for herself! She gets her bonus spin all the way round... but it still lands black. Black is not a winner.

First up in the Showcase: a bedroom with sleep set, swimwear, and a boat. Top winner Courtney passes to Gloria, who bids $16,225. Courtney, meanwhile, gets Dos and Don'ts related to an HDTV, a drum set, and a Chevy Cobalt. Courtney bids $25,000. But 25 large is too large. She's over. Actual price: $19,656. Actual price of Gloria's Showcase: $25,306! Had she kept her Showcase and her bid, she would've been just $300 and change off. Instead, Gloria walks away with $27,056 in cash and prizes.

Stats: even, $45,857.

Well we are less than one week away from Valentine's Day...and we are almost done with "Sweethearts Week" from Ft. Lauderdale. So, without further adieu...here is what happened on the Thursday edition!
 
The $1,000 Tossup is FUN AND GAMES. David and Laura Pollard from Punta Gorda, FL, married for 14 years, solved A PAIR OF ACES for $1,000. She is Italian by birth. They met while David was in the Army. David and Christine Klein have been married for 2.5 years. They are from Ft.

The $2,000 Tossup is PLACE. Elizabeth and Matt are on the board with CANDY SHOP. They have $2,000 and will start this round. But we add a trip to Princeville Resort in Kauai worth $7,324. The category is EVENT...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. They miss...over to Laura and David. They hit and pick up the Free Spin. They miss a vowel and use the Free Spin. They solve SIPPING A HOT CAPPUCCINO for $400. And Laura is going back home to Italy! It's a trip to Venice from Lastminutetravel.com worth $4,968! And if you have FM02225 you are off to Venice! And if you have the Sony Card--you have $50,000! They have $6,368! And Laura (in Italian) said, "Momma, I'm coming home!" That is a truly great story.  
 
The jackpot round is sponsored by Worldwinner.com. The category is BEFORE AND AFTER. Laura and David start. They miss...over to David and Christine. They hit Bankrupt...over to Elizabeth and Matt. They hit the Jackpot Wedge and solve LOVE IS IN THE AIR CONDITIONING for the $9,300 Jackpot! They have $10,750 and their total is $12,750 in cash! 
 
The mystery round prize is $10,000. The category is ON THE MENU. David and Christine start. They hit and pick up the $1,000 NWAWorldVacations Gift Certificate.

The $3,000 Tossup is SHOW BIZ. Laura and David are up to $9,368 with DINNER THEATER. The category is PHRASE...and we go right into a $1,700 FINAL SPIN. David and Christine finally get on the board with MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY for $6,800 which is what they leave with. Laura and David leave with a trip to Italy and a total of $9,368! But Matt and Elizabeth win with $22,000 in cash!
 
Can Matt and Elizabeth win the bonus round...there are 2 hot convertibles and a lot of cash to be had! They land on the N in WIN. Their category tonight is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:
 
_   _ _ _ L _ _ _ _ E
 
They choose CDHA and we have:
 
_   A _ _ L _ _ _ _ E
 
I APOLOGIZE that they didn't win $25,000. But they leave with $22,000 in cash.
 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
As we enter Day 4 of Walk In and Win Week at Walt Disney World, Connie Marich (Sparks, NV) is at $4,000, and she has 2 lifelines available. How will she fare today?

[Yes, Minnie Mouse is back. I think the pattern here is obvious by now.]

Connie and her husband have been traveling in an RV, and he does the driving. For some reason, he wears a captain's hat when driving. But he does follow directions provided by their G.P.S., which hasn't failed yet. It should also be noted that they have 18 grandchildren. Wow. Anyway, the game resumes...

[$8,000]
Popularized in the '80s, the term "shabby chic" is usually applied to a trendy style of what?
A: Makeup
B: Cooking
C: Home decor
D: Poetry

The 50:50 leaves B and C. Connie then goes with C... and she's right! Moving on...

[$16,000]
In the theme song to their TV series, who are described as "good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm"?
A: Simon and Simon
B: The Dukes of Hazzard
C: Starsky and Hutch
D: The A-Team

Connie is thinking either B or C, but she decides to call her friend Jeff, who says B. She goes with that... and it's B! Next question...

[$25,000]
Which of these nations is located on a peninsula attached to the Asian mainland?
A: South Korea
B: Philippines
C: Japan
D: Indonesia

Connie decides not to risk what she has, and walks. The answer was A, but she's seems happy with $16,000, as Minnie leads her outta there.

Everyone in the audience has a number, but the one holding 268 is Shannon Lewis (Jacksonville, FL), making her the next player. She's a student from the University of North Florida, studying Nutrition. They get right into it, and Shannon starts by knowing that a common name for sophisticated "city folk" is "city slickers" (though those who aren't careful could be better off known as "grizzly bait"). She gets through a few more questions, before facing this...

[$1,000]
Like the city that inspired it, what Las Vegas hotel boasts singing gondoliers traversing a water-filled "Grand Canal"?
A: New York, New York
B: The Venetian
C: Paris
D: Monte Carlo

Shannon asks the audience. 89% of the studio audience and 53% of the AIM users say B, so Shannon trusts them... and she has $1,000! After another question, she then sees this...

[$4,000]
Upon actor Pat Morita's death in 2005, what former costar issued a touching statement calling him "Forever my sensei"?
A: Rick Schroder
B: Corey Feldman
C: Macaulay Culkin
D: Ralph Macchio

The 50:50 leaves A and D. Shannon then decides to call her father Ron, who says it's D. Shannon goes with D... and it's D! Still going...

[$8,000]
Which of these high school math classes is usually considered the most advanced?
A: Calculus
B: Geometry
C: Trigonometry
D: Algebra

Shannon says it's not B or D, and guesses C... but it's A! Well, she does get $1,000.

Time to pick another number, and this time, it's 105, bringing forth Lisa McDermott-Perez (West Palm Beach, FL). Apparently, her reason for being here was to get away from her mother for a while. So I wonder how her mother would react upon seeing this show (or this recap, for that matter)... Anyway, Lisa starts by knowing that by definition, a pirate commits his crimes at sea. She gets through the lower tier, then has this...

[$2,000]
What is the name of the pro-environment party that chose Ralph Nader as its presidential nominee in 1996 and 2000?
A: Blue Party
B: Yellow Party
C: Green Party
D: Brown Party

Lisa decides to ask the audience. 93% of the studio audience says C, and 80% of the AIM users agree. So, Lisa goes with C... and they're right!

Time is up for today. Lisa will be back tomorrow, when Walk In and Win Week wraps up.
