Levine (Mike, Lisa, Nate, Brittney, Lynne)
$800
Bryant (Nefertiti, Theda, Celie, Bathsheba, Lakisa)

Round 1: 100 married women, something about which you've never been 100% honest with with your husband (5). Mike gets a case of the ex for #3. Nefertiti gets the big one, how much money she spends. Sex follows. The Levines try to steal with weight... That's 65 to the champs. Other answer: having an affair.

Round 2: a Hollywood George (6). Lisa strikes with George Clooney for #1. Other famous Georges: not revealed. The Bryants try to take it with George Hamilton... Challengers get 46! Other Georges: Burns, Foreman, Lopez, of the Jungle.

Double: something people are afraid to ride on (full board). Nate's horse is #3. Airplane is #2 for Brittney. Lynne gets #4, a motorcycle, Mike gets the top answer, a "rolly coaster". Bryants get a shot at it with a Ferris wheel... Got it for 206! Other answer: a bull.

Triple: a holiday when your relatives can really get on your nerves (4). Brittney fires with Christmas for #1. Thanksgiving and Easter get on the board. Can the Bryant ladies steal with Halloween? No. Luckily they don't go with that. Nefertiti goes with 4th of July... Win, 494-65.

Fast Money: Theda & Celie team up for 189 for $945.


In the nightcap, the Sees (Sarah, Emily, Amy, Todd, Danny; $21,285) eye the Johnsons (Calvin, Bre'anna, Felicia, Shawanna, Stanley). Sees lead it, 268-91, going into this for triple score: something Tarzan taught his son how to do (4). That's Shawanna.. "*Tarzan yell*". Number three. Todd gets the top answer with swing. Hunt and swim take the game, 562-91.

Fast Money: Amy gets four of the number ones for 192. Sarah has no problem getting the fifth for another $20,000, giving them $41,285.

$5000 clock stops at $4469. The low ballers: Arthur & Terilyn. Arthur coming in the top end with $3437. High rollers: Wendi & Jean. Jean's on the low end with $3855. The two in the butter zone will meet each other in...

The largest Final Face-Off Clock ever with $19,462. How much really IS enough? $5169's enough for Arthur.

Huck Seed
$4,000
BLINDS: $200/$400

Jamie starts out betting with Q-9♦ against A-10 for Chris. Flop: Q-8-9. Queens up for Jamie. Turn: 2♣. Chris makes it $6000 to go. He has Jamie well covered. Jamie raises all-in. "At least I didn't get the insta-call. Chris folds. Jamie's up to $30,000. Phil then wastes no time and calls all-in with Aces against Johnny's Johnnys. Flop: 9-5-10. Turn: 10♥. River: 6♣. Phil doubles to $17,100.

Huck has (7-6♥). Jamie has A-6. Flop: 2-2-10.  No action there. Turn: 6♠. Huck moves all-in. He's going to wish he had taken that back in a second. They'll chop the pot if we see a 2 or a 6. A 7 gives it to Huck. Otherwise, it's over for him. River: A♥. And Huck drowns on the river as Jamie sends him packing in 6th place.

Three-way action with a flop of 6-9-5, giving Berry (7-8) a straight and Phil (A-5♦) has a pair and a flush draw. Turn: 6♣. Jamie has a Wheel draw. Berry chases him out. Phil calls. River: 10♥. Berry bets... Phil mucks. Berry wins $33,900.

Another three-handed set with a flop of Q-3-3. Chris's got a set of crabs, while Jamie has a flush draw. Johnny tosses it. Turn: 10♣. Chris makes a bet. Jamie calls it. River: Q♠. Jamie moves Chris all-in. Phil, meanwhile, takes Marianela's role and talks to Jamie. This will come down to science. Chris pulls out a coin, flips... and he's all-in. Chris doubles to $32,100.

Berry's Big Slick (A- Flop: K-8-A. Berry's got aces up. Turn: . Jamie now drawing dead. Berry wins $8250.

Chris goes in with A-K against Jamie's 5-3. Flop: 7-7-9. Chris leads with his ace. Turn: . That gives Chris a gut-shot now. River: 6♦. Three diamonds and four to a straight on the board, but Chris still leads it. Jamie bets $3500. Chris folds, and Jamie bluffs his way to $7450.

Huck's all-in with 10s against Jamie's 10- and Chris' 8s. Huck's hoping for a triple-up. Jamie drops out. Flop: A-7-. Huck would've been out if Jamie stayed in. Turn: 5♣. River: A♣. Instead, Huck holds out to $5300.

Price of poker's going up. Jamie's got the bullets, A-A. Will anyone bite? Johnny does with 10-5♣. Berry tries with 9-6. Flop: 2-K-7. Nothing here, and both Berry and Johnny give it up to Jamie, now $2400 richer.

We end the night with Jamie going all-in with K-6. Phil's got A-J. Phil mucks the A-J, giving Jamie $14,000+ to end the night.

T$216
Crystal Nicole

INSTANT CASH: $500

Speed Round: Ian plays buzzer ninja early to take T$45 to Nicole's 25. Crystal stuck at 20. First Instant Bargain gives Ian a necklace and two tickets anywhere in the continental US. The price: $1550. The cost: T$15. He'll still be in the lead. Rossi throws in a third ticket... Boom. He's in.

He can spend that on a $1000 closet makeover and four months of laundry service, all worth $1375. It can be Ian's for T$15. And what's that in Rossi's pocket? $100 and one less Temptation dollar.. NO SALE. Holding the lead is good.

After the Final Speed Round... Nicole makes a break for it, but can't quite catch Ian, who wins his third with T$97. Crystal and Nicole, just some lovin'.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
by Don Harpwood

Air time: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
Website: www.millionairetv.com
  We saw someone walk away with $100,000 yesterday. Will we see someone win just as much, or more, today?

John Leonard (Mount Sinai, NY): An attorney, he has 3 boys at home, and they each had a different thing to say to him before he traveled to NYC. Justin, the 9-year-old, said to quit at $25,000 (even though if John gets there, it's guaranteed). Jacob, the 8-year-old, simply said, "Don't lose." The baby, at 9 months old, simply spit up.

John is well on his way, as he secures $1,000 and makes it all the way to this...

[$16,000]
Who is the only U.S. president to have held the rank of five-star general?
A: Ulysses S. Grant
B: Dwight D. Eisenhower
C: Zachary Taylor
D: Andrew Jackson

After some consideration about which lifeline to use, John asks the audience. 79% are saying B. He trusts them... and they're right!

[$25,000]
Despite their tasty-sounding name, sweetbreads are typically made from what not-so-appetizing parts of an animal?
A: Thyroid and liver
B: Pancreas and thymus
C: Kidney and testes
D: Intestine and pituitary gland

John calls his brother, Jim, and he says, "Pancreas, 100%." So, John says B... and he has $25,000! Then, after switching out a question at the $50,000 level...

[$50,000] (Q)
Though they don't smell quite as pretty, onions are commonly classified in the same family as which of these flowers?
A: Geranium
B: Lily
C: Crocus
D: Iris

The 50:50 leaves A and B. It is a free guess, so John locks in B... and he's right!

[$100,000]
Featured in the horror classic "Alien," the spacecrafts Nostromo and Narcissus take their names from works by what author?
A: Theodore Dreiser
B: Henry James
C: E.M. Forster
D: Joseph Conrad

Though he originally said that he would plan to guess at this level, John decides against it, since he has no clue. He didn't know that it's D, but that's alright, because John has $50,000!

Bimbi Shabi (Brooklyn, NY): Her first name is short for Abimbola, which means "born in wealth".

[$1,000]
Which of these animal names appears in Roget's Thesaurus as a synonym for "tattletale"?
A: Canary
B: Fox
C: Guppy
D: Honeybee

Bimbi asks the audience, and 86% say A. She goes with that, and secures $1,000! Bimbi then gets to $2,000 before the horn goes off. She'll be back tomorrow.
