Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Ex-Husbands (Brian, Otis, Tim, Mark, Louis); two games, $2500

Ex-Wives (Patti, Debra, Pam, Ashley, Andrea); two games, $25,000

We know the women will get more money from this week, but this is to see who's the better Feud team...

Round 1: a topic of conversation that wives bore their husbands with (7). Brian gets #3, shopping. Louis goes with friends... count it, gossip's #1. The guys also get children and how their day went. The Ex-Wives go with "feelings about relationship"... Not there! The Ex-Husbands get 55. Other answers: bills/money, work/job, food/cooking.

Round 2: a kind of repairman who might be more tempted to cheat a woman than a man (5). Louis fires with a mechanic, number one. The rest of the team gets plumber and refrigerator. The ladies try for the steal with... the electrician.. Not there! The guys are up to 132. Other answer: carpenter/roofer, washing machine.

Double Round: a kind of place where you can be sure you can see parents yelling at their kids (5). Mark gets #5, at home. Tim tries grocery store... Number one! They also get sports game. The ladies try again with in the car... No! The guys are up to 220! Other answers: mall, restaurant.

Triple Round: something people ride that causes them to throw up (4). Pam gets number one with the rollercoaster. They get a car, but that's it. The guys have one more shot with a boat... Men win, 418-0. Other answer: Ferris wheel.

It's Louis and Mark vs. the Fast Money board one more time... Mark scores for "age where someone might have a mid-life crisis" (40) and "an animal that magicians use in their act" (rabbit) for 160. Can Louis seal the deal? He does with "a fruit smaller than a peach" (plum) for the win and $22,500 for the week.

Next week, winner takes all in Family Feud's annual Tournament of Champions.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Mandel Ilagan get an extra-long pan in the opening... I think it's because he's in the Fremantle pocket. They get all the good seats... :) But the BEST seats in the house go to Lindsay Schwander, Suzanne Duck, Kevin Higar, and Brenda Schenck. Kevin gets an upgrade to a seat on a folding boat with $1495. He'd rather have a seat in a Jeep Wrangler, and he can get that seat if he wins Lucky Seven. The first number... 1. First pick... 7. Two bucks gone. Second: 6. There go another two. Third: 2. Another dollar gone. He can miss this by one and still win. Final pick... 5. It's 4! And he's driving back to Dallas in a $19,834 Jeep!

And down and up in Kevin's space is Kelli Wheeler, who wins an $1816 lounge chair, and I betcha she'll love to lounge around in $10,000. She can win that in 1/2 Off. First pair: a telephone at $40 and an iron at $24. She thinks the phone is half off... and it is! Next up: a knife sharpener at $50 and a hair dryer at $26. She thinks the sharpener is half off... and it is! Finally: a radio at $30 and a digital compass at $20. She goes for the compass... and she's got two boxes left, 3 and 8! She picks 3.... and she should've picked 8.

The blue spot is the sweet spot as Fred Williams wins a $1400 navigation/entertainment system for his car... and $500 for getting it exactly right! But can he win golf equipment, a dinette, four girls' guitars, and picnic equipment? The game is Danger Price, and the Danger Price is $500. He goes for the golf equipment... $799. Next: the picnic equipment... $500. He strikes out, but he'll be back later in the Showcase.

Back to business. Brenda, who defaced some Napoleon Dynamite swag just for the show (her shirt says "Vote for ~~Pedro~~ Bob"), wins a trampoline system worth $1495. Time for a trip to New York City! The Double Prices are $5021 and $4191. She goes for the former... and she's going up Block's way! And we're going to commercial...

Again, TPIR MDS at 8p ET Tuesday (unless you're like me and you live in the RDU area, then it airs at approximately 2:07a that morning). Aviram Almogue won't be playing for $1 million, but he'll win some $628 dinnerware (C-Note: He was only three bucks off). He steps to the Card Game table for a Chevy Impala. The margin of error: $2000. He draws an ace in two to bid $18,000. Actual price: $21,990. He's $3990 off.

Last chance for Suzanne and Lindsay. The prize: power tools. The price: $676. The winner:... Suzanne! She Picks-a-Pair for a spa worth $8995. The products: Alka-Seltzer, Marie Callender's Fettuccine Alfredo, Theragesic, Airborne, Clorox bleach pen, and Energizer hearing aid batteries. Suzanne takes the fettuccine. That's $2.99. She tries to match with the Airborne... that's $6.99. She keeps the pasta and goes with the bleach pen... $2.99! And that's not all! She gets the dollar in one spin to win $1000! But that's all she gets until Showcase Time...

... Wow that was fast. First, a visit from Bernadine the Botanist, who discovers trees for a motorscooter, a jukebox, and a travel trailer. Top winner Suzanne passes to Fred, who bids $16,250. Suzanne gets a grandfather clock, a living room with carpeting, and a vacation in Scotland. She bids $18,750. Actual price: $20,192, a difference of $1442. Fred's actual price: $32,764. Off by a mile. Suzanne wins this day with $30,903 in cash and prizes.

Stats: even, $63,472.

Next week, "Fun in the Sun"

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

It's the last day of Walk In and Win Week at Walt Disney World, and Lisa McDermott-Perez (West Palm Beach, FL) is at $2,000, hoping to make more...

[And of course, Mickey Mouse is back to help finish the week.]

Lisa is excited, and so is her oldest daughter, because if she wins the million bucks, she is taking her daughter shopping on Rodeo Drive. Anyway, the game resumes, and she soon faces this...

[$8,000]
Birds are classified as oviparous animals because they do what?
A: Build nests
B: Lay eggs
C: Have wings
D: Migrate annually

Lisa decides to call her good friend Tony, who says B, but isn't sure. Lisa goes with B anyway... and it's B! Next question...

[$16,000]
What 2005 movie's U.K. version was cut by eight minutes to edit out the sappy ending between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy?
A: The 40-Year-Old Virgin
B: Mr. and Mrs. Smith
C: The Constant Gardener
D: Pride and Prejudice

The 50:50 leaves B and D. Lisa then says D... and she's right! She then reaches $25,000, before getting to this one...

[$50,000]
The reflective surface of a CD usually consists of an extremely thin layer of what metal?
A: Aluminum
B: Steel
C: Chromium
D: Tin

Lisa decides to switch the question. They reveal the answer to be A, before bringing in this...

[$50,000] (Q)
The first thirteen games of the ancient Olympics featured what sole event?
A: Footrace
B: Chariot race
C: Archery
D: Discus

[Figures that we'd see an Olympic question at this time...]

After a reminder that this is a free guess, Lisa says she's torn between 2 of them. She then goes with D... but it's A! Well, at least she and her daughter could head to Rodeo Drive with $25,000!

One more number coming, and it is 128. This brings down John Bottiger (Winter Haven, FL), and he is excited and ready to go. So they get going, and John knows that the World Sauna Championships, held in Finland, tests your ability to withstand high temperatures (though withstanding old men in towels could be considered a bigger challenge). He gets through to $1,000, then after a break, Meredith gives John a hat to wear. The hat appears to be inspired by the Disney movie Fantasia (not to be confused with the American Idol Season 3 winner). With that taken care of, they continue on...

[$2,000]
On the official Web site of "The Muppets," who keeps a blog entitled "Sow and the City"?
A: Kermit
B: Fozzie
C: Miss Piggy
D: Gonzo

John asks the audience. 89% of the studio audience and 66% of the AIM users say C. John trusts them... and they're right! Moving on...

[$4,000]
On what TV series do the judges regularly accuse the contestants of being "pitchy"?
A: Dancing with the Stars
B: American Idol
C: America's Next Top Model
D: Project Runway

[I bet Gordon would know this one immediately.]

John doesn't watch much of these shows, so he uses the 50:50, leaving B and D. He's leaning towards one of them, but he's still not sure about risking it, so he then calls his brother-in-law Chip. Chip doesn't know, but thinks it's B. John was also leaning towards B, so he goes for it... and yes, it's B! (I bet Gordon breathed a sigh of relief after that.) After the break, Meredith puts on a hat similar to what John is wearing, then they continue. Soon, John reaches this...

[$16,000]
A rich sauce used in Mexican cuisine, mole most commonly features which of these ingredients?
A: Chocolate
B: Coconut
C: Cornmeal
D: Honey

John enjoys Mexican food, but hasn't had much mole (pronounced "mo-lay"). So, not sure of this, he walks. He'd have said B, but it was A, so it's a good thing he chose to walk with $8,000!

And that'll do it for Walk In and Win Week for this season. Another theme week is coming on February 20 (Million Dollar Movie Week), but before that, the regular run will continue on Monday.
