The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Host: Bob Barker
A hammock could go to Naomi Guy, Erika Johnson, Samuel Gomez, or Teresa Lisk. Price: $811. Winner: Samuel. He's got a chance to win a bonus in the Bonus Game. And WHAT a bonus, a Chevrolet Aveo! The first prize: a rotary shaver at $125. He goes lower. Right! Next, a coffee maker at $25. He goes higher. Right! Next, a steam iron at $30. Lower is the bet.. Right! Finally, a retro phone at $50... He goes higher... That's a win! He sweeps the Bonus Game and wins the car!

We're moving cars out of here left and right as Erika plays Lucky Seven after winning a $1475 rocker. First number: 1. How about a 9? 7. Two dollars. Next, a 5? 6. Another dollar. Next, a 5? It's a 7. That's another two dollars. She's got two bucks left. Final guess: 5. Exactly! That's a car and $1 for a snack for the cup holder.

Torrin Jones is down and up thanks to a $999 elliptical trainer and a chance at an entertainment center with HDTV. The game is New Balance Game. Bags: $294, $1000, $2000, and $3000. He goes with $3294. Actual price.. $5294. Too light. But he isn't too light on the Wheel, winning a shot in the Showcase.

Naomi meanwhile nabs luggage worth $820. Can she Pick-a-Pair for a trip to DC? The pair she picks first: Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauce and Uncle Ben's rice. Both are $1.99! Have a great trip!

Jennifer McEnulty gets a $669 set of lamps and a shot at a Dodge Charger, as well as some gifts. The first number: 2. First gift: a $2000 camcorder. She picks the 2 out of that. Next gift: stemware at $464. She takes the 6. Then, a fishbowl of cash, $939. Her choice: 3. Finally, a $500 set of massagers. She takes the 0. So we have a price of $22,630. Now comes...

Will she take $3897 in gifts or go for the car? She goes for the car. Actual price... $22,630!

Three cars offered, three cars won. Last chance for Teresa to get some of this car action with his & hers tennis equipment. Price: $607. Winner... Ashley Wheeler. No car for her, but how about a spa? Is it $8290 or $9082? She goes with $8290... Right!

Top winner in the Showcase: Naomi. First up, Lola's lemonade stand. She also has, aside from some darn good lemonade, $1000, a soda fountain, and a Hi-Lo trailer. A portable DVD player, a CD jukebox, and a 2007 Ford Mustang help. Naomi passes, as Torrin bids $15,000. Next, sleepwear, a new bedroom with sleep set, and a trip to Denmark. Naomi bids $17,500. Actual price: $13,469. Over she goes. Torrin's Showcase is... $31,102, enough to win $32,141.

And already we've broken $200,000 for the week!

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check local listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Sean McGrath (Middle Village, NY) was able to secure $1,000 without a problem. He happens to currently be doing #18 on his list of 101 things to do in his life; to be on a game show. Among other things on that list are to meet a former president (he has done so, having met Bill Clinton) and to party with a rock star/band (as of this taping, he hasn't done that yet). Cool. Anyway, the game resumes, and eventually, this pops up...

[$16,000]
What movie won the most Oscars in the 1990s?
A: The English Patient
B: Shakespeare in Love
C: Schindler's List
D: Titanic

His first instinct is D, but Sean asks the audience to be sure. 66% agree that it's D. He goes with that... and he's right! Sean goes on to guarantee himself $25,000, then...

[$50,000]
Spain and what other nation both claim to be home to the final resting place of Christopher Columbus?
A: Cuba
B: Italy
C: Dominican Republic
D: Portugal

Sean has a strong feeling about this one, but he wants to be 100% sure of this, so he calls his friend, Rob. At first, Rob says he'd go with D, but he changes his mind, going with... well, we won't know, because time ran out before he could finish. Darn. Sean then says that he was thinking B, but he ends up switching it out. Good thing he did; it was C.

[$50,000] (Q)
In 1927, Pan Am Airways flew its maiden voyage, delivering mail from Florida to what overseas locale?
A: Cuba
B: Panama
C: Mexico
D: Puerto Rico

The 50:50 leaves A and C. Sean then goes with A... and he's right!

[$100,000]
Created by the Department of Defense in 1969, the precursor to the modern-day Internet originally had what name?
A: EXPONET
B: ARPANET
C: HELINET
D: SUPRANET

Sean decides that $50,000 is enough, so he walks with that. He had a hunch about D, but it was B, so he made the right move!

Next up is Rosie Vadella (Hawthorne, NY), a telemarketer. It turns out that she and Meredith have something in common; they each have a daughter named Lilly! Ain't that a coincidence? Well, Rosie's daughter is only 3 or 4 months old, so she could use some money for upcoming expenses. With that, Rosie starts by knowing that according to a classic Frank Sinatra song, "love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage". She gets through the lower tier, then after a bit...

[$8,000]
Often made with tomatoes and eggplant, which of these dishes traditionally has no meat or seafood in it?
A: Paella
B: Bouillabaisse
C: Ratatouille
D: Gumbo

The 50:50 leaves C and D. Rosie goes with C... and she's right!

[$16,000]
Released in 2006, Bob Dylan's latest studio album shares its title with what iconic Charlie Chaplin film?
A: The Tramp
B: Modern Times
C: City Lights
D: The Gold Rush

Rosie asks the audience, and 44% say B, though 30% say C. She decides to trust the 44%... and it's B! And with the sound of the horn, she'll have a chance to rest until tomorrow.
