Survivor Castaways - Moo-Lah
(Men): Richard
Hatch, Ethan Zohn, Rupert Boneham, Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton
& Rudy Boesch |
Okay, so Survivor Palau premieres
this week. What better way to celebrate than to ... well, you
know.
First, something that some people do clothed that others do nude
(6). Richard goes with EVERYTHING (just kidding)... His "swim" is
number two. Jenna "sunbathe" is number one. Ladies also get sleep,
intimacy, cooking, and cleaning for the 84-point sweep.
Round 2: something that some
people fear that starts with the letter "S" (7). Suzie's number
one of snakes gives her lady-friends control. Spiders and shots
also make the survey. Can the guys steal with Rich's tattoo of a
shark? Yep. It's worth 70 to them. Other answers: smoke, storm,
swimming
Double round: something specific
that you've lost more than once (5). Rupert snags #1, keys. The
guys also lose their money... but that's it. The Cha-Ching come up
with glasses for the steal, but it's not up there, giving the guys
the 168-84 lead. Other answers: watch/jewelry, weight,
wallet/purse.
After a diss in the face off, we
get the triple round: real or fictional, a famous person named
Ralph (4). Fairplay gets Ralph Lauren for #1. Rest of the team
gets Ralph Kramden, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The girls steal Ralph
Nader AND the round, 270-168.
Sudden death: a sport women think
is sexy to watch. Rudy's football isn't. But Christa's basketball
is, giving them the game, 441-168.
Shii Ann and Jenna take on our
version of Tribal Council, the Fast Money board.
1) Someone famous you wish would
adopt you and make you heir to their fortune (Donald Trump).
2) Out of 10 blind dates, how many are winners (one)?
3) Something babies do that is not so cute (throw up).
4) An occasion where people gather in a church (wedding).
5) Besides a toothbrush, something people use to clean their teeth
(floss)
Jenna gets the job done in four,
giving the ladies $20,000.

The
Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 11am ET/10am CT on CBS (times vary by
market)
Host: Bob Barker |
|
I will tell you right now, this show
is a skunk. Tracey Shanklin,
the first one up on stage thanks to a storage building, is also
the first one to the Showcase. She tries for an iron bed with
sleep set at Pushover, but she's pushed over after she should've
gone one more. Her guess: $1490. Actual price: $3149.
She would face either Amanda
Firestone, who won a stained glass screen but couldn't convert
into a dining group and dinnerware playing Cliff Hangers ($90 on
an electric toothbrush?! To quote my friend Dustin Riley, "Perhaps
they should've put the Cliffhanger in a catapult and shot him into
studio 34."), or Virginia Danaher, winner of a Big Green Egg and
$500 but loser of a Ford Focus playing Any Number (she would win
the chest/apothecary table). It would take four spin-offs to
determine who would meet Tracey in the Showcase, and the winner
is...
Amanda, who is passed a Showcase
about luggage and romantic hideaways Nantucket, Venice, and
Tahiti. She bids $19,000. Tracey gets a visit from Gassanova, who
lights a gas fireplace, cooks on a gas range, and gassing up a
Pontiac Grand Am. Tracey bids $25,700. She was close, but her
package was $25,184. Had she stopped before the seven, she
would've won both Showcases. As it turns out, Amanda wins her pack
and $24,241 in prizes.
Other winners:
Gerald Cate: desk
Lauren Peyton: karaoke
Drew Boles: his/hers snowshoe equipment |

Street
Smarts by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Check local listings or
streetsmartstv.com
Host: Frank Nicotero |

Players for I Heart Smarts: Glenn (marketing
consultant from Honolulu) vs. Gwen (accountant from LA, also
Glenn's girlfriend) |
Panel:
Chaz (Gardener, MA), Crystal (Las Vegas), & Clint (Wilmington,
OH) |
A Valentine's Day show that we
won't forget, as boyfriend and girlfriend duke it out, but lo, a
twist. At the end of the show, Glenn will pop his knee and pop the
question. More on that at the Romantic Wager...
Right now, Gwen leads, $1300 to
$1100, going into said Romantic Wager: a couch built for two is
called a WHAT seat? Correct:
love.
Before
that, though, it's time for the twist. You can see it play out at
the Wall.
Glenn goes with Chaz, while
Crystal gets the nod for Gwen. Gwen loses $300 on "a two seater".
Glenn wins $2100 on the right seat. But will he take the $2100
nest egg? Nope. He's going to the Tournament. With Gwen's
blessing, of course. |

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Host: Meredith Vieira |

After a week for loooove, we're back with Claire
Ogilvie, a law student from Washington, DC. So far, she's at $2000 with all her
lifelines intact. But she needs the help of the people on $4000: Bill Clinton's
1996 campaign prominently featured the theme "building a bridge to the" what?
The audiences agree on "the 21st Century".
Then she needs the 50/50 on $16,000: In which of
these races do participants travel the farthest? That leaves Tour de France and
Ironman Triathlon. She goes for the Tour de France... and gets to see the
$25,000 milestone!
... which goes like this: In his famous essay,
"Self-Reliance," who wrote "To be great is to be misunderstood"? a) Henry David
Thoreau b) Mark Twain c) Walt Whitman d) Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thanks to her
high-school English teacher, Claire locks in D as her final answer... and she
has $25,000!
For $50,000: Garrison Keillor named his radio
show, "A Prairie Home Companion", after a what? a) Book b) Cemetary c)
Fly-fishing stream d) Family farm. She switches out. Correct: B. New question:
According to a DOJ study, about how many Americans were in prison, on probation
or on parole in 2003? a) 1.3 million b) 2.5 million c) 4.7 million d) 6.5
million. She's thinking "somewhere around one percent" of all Americans. She
goes to her PAF, law professor Michael. "One in 32. About 6.9 million, I think."
She takes the freeball... And they're right!
For $100,000: Which of these is not one of the
three stars that form the belt in the constellation Orion? a) Alnitak b) Mintaka
c) Rastaban d) Alnilam. After mulling over probability for a bit, Claire decides
to walk. She would've guessed Rastaban... and she would've been right.
Hopefully her loss is Marianne Naglic's gain.
She comes to us from Bound Brook, NJ. She needs to ask the audience what a
"kiwi" is (besides a New Zealander). NYC and AOL return with a bird, giving her
$1000. She returns tomorrow with $2000. |
