Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Burton is decked out luau-style because one of eight families can win up to $130,000 and a trip to Hawaii on Family Feud's annual winner-take-all Tournament of Champions! So far, the pot is at $30,000, and the Wordlaws are still in the hunt...

Rambo (Jack, Angela, JR, Natalie, Jay)

Taylor (Terry, Shelia, Jeremy, Tasha, Toni)

JACKPOT: $30,000

Round 1: something that these days even middle class people can't afford (6). Terry fires with a house, #1. They also come up with car, but blank out soon after. The Rambos go with college for the steal... got it for 53! Other answers: vacation, health care, gasoline.

Round 2: an animal whose legs you eat (7). Angela's crabs are good for 7, but Shelia's chicken is number one! We also get turkey, frogs, and pigs, but the Rambos are going to steal this one again with lamb for 138. Other answer: rabbit.

Double Round: besides potato chips, a food you can't eat just one of (full board). Jeremy buzzes in with candy, #2. JR, meanwhile, gets #3, French fries. That's all we come up with as the Rambos try cookies for the steal... Number one! They have 182. Other answers: popcorn, pretzels, nuts.

Triple Round: something an armchair quarterback has nearby during the Super Bowl (4). Natalie gets #1 with water (counted under beer/drinks). A remote, a snack, and a good set of friends and family do it for the Rambos, 476-0.

Angela (and her baby) and her husband JR take on the Fast Money board, racking up $20,000 the hard way. The jackpot now, $50,000. The Wordlaws await the Rambos next time.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Can you feel the love? It's Valentine's Day at TPIR, and Jennifer Eubanks, Courtney Welch, James Edmond, and Lori Schellenberg are bidding on a lovely grandfather clock. It's worth $2325, and it goes to Lori, a visitor from up north. She gets a chance to convert a Squeeze Play into a trip to Ireland. The setup: 51089. She knocks out the 0, and she's... RIGHT! The price: $5189.

How's about some Valentine's treats? They go to Jennifer for $433. But what's sweeter than CASH? Jennifer plays for $10,000 in 1/2 Off. First up: a nacho cheese warmer at $35 and a teapot clock at $9. She thinks the clock is half off... and she's right! Other two pairings... not so lucky. She only has one cut, and with it, 1, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, and 14. She picks box 13. And she's.... a clock and a nacho cheeser richer. The money was in #6.

James gets a team dual trike in round 3 worth $1299, but how about something with four wheels... a new Chevrolet Malibu? Time to bring out the four big reds for the Dice Game. First number: 2. First dice roll... 1. Of course, it's higher. Next: 6. Of course, it's lower. Next: 3. He goes with the odds and says higher. Final dice-roll... same as #3. Using logic, we can safely say that he's got two right with a $22,400-plus car on the line... Now after some vicious booing from the crowd, we go to the first 3. That number... 6! Final number has to be higher than a 3 as well.... It's a five! He's won a $22,465 car! AND a place in the Showcase thanks to a score of 80 on the Wheel.

So who's up to challenge the stage next? Carie Moser is, after winning a white-gold heart necklace worth $1245. Her bid: a fiver. She may win more than that in Buy or Sell. On offer: a utility vehicle marked at $4599 (she buys it), a drum set marked at $3087 (she sells it), and a dinette marked at $1737 (she buys it). The utility vehicle is... $5199! She makes $600. The drum set is... $2587! She's up to $1100! Now to the dinette, which is... $2537! She wins all three prizes AND $1900!

Next up, Micky Majocha takes away a $3535 tailgate grill. Man, some big ticket prizes in the Row today. You'd think there was some sort of Million Dollar Wing-Ding going on tonight! Anyways, he goes to play Bullseye for a bedroom set and sleep set. The products: Theragesic, Udderly Smooth foot cream, Santa Fe salsa, Marie Callender's Fettuccine Alfredo, and a Super Poligrip. He goes for the Poligrips, three of them. Each one is $3.55. And that totals $10.65! Bullseye!

Last chance for Courtney to make a move with a chandelier. Actual price: $724. Winner... Gabriela Martinez. She gets a chance at a Ford Mustang. The game, Gabriela? "THAT'S TOO MUCH!" She thinks that $23,460 is Too Much, and That's... WAY Too Much! She should've stopped at $20,155. Price: $19,910.

So who's facing James in the Showcase? It's Carie! She's your runner-up, while James is top winner, and as such, gets to decide who gets things we love in the Showcase. First up: an LCD TV, 10 green wallet-sized pictures of Benjamin Franklin, and a Hi-Lo trailer! James bids $28,000. Carie, meanwhile, gets a list of dos and don'ts for a happy Heart Day. She gets a range, fridge, dishwasher, Apple iMac, and a Mediterranean cruise! Carie bids $14,000. Actual price: $18,549, a difference of $4549. James' actual price: $23,350. And it's Carie's day, as she walks away with $32,017 in cash and prizes.

Stats: 4-2, $70,144.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Happy Valentine's Day! And on this day, Ayesha Black (Los Angeles, CA) is at $16,000, having used a lifeline on the way yesterday...

It is mentioned once again that Ayesha chose to come to New York alone. She says she loves her family, but they tend to be annoying. But her mother did give her a good-luck charm beforehand, in the form of a necklace with her name in Egyptian hieroglyphics on it. Okay, time for her to embrace her "inner nerd" again, as the game resumes, and she has no problem getting $25,000! On to the next one...

[$50,000]
In the popcorn industry, what term is used to refer to kernels that fail to pop?
A: Old maids
B: Lazy dogs
C: Late bloomers
D: Bad seeds

Ayesha has no clue, so she switches the question. After seeing that it was A, this pops up...

[$50,000] (Q)
At the time he was "discovered" by music executives in 1954, Elvis Presley was working as a what?
A: Janitor
B: Truck driver
C: Short-order cook
D: Longshoreman

Ayesha remembers watching some weird movie, and recalls what she saw. Based on her info, she thought it would be a delivery man, but that's not a choice. She figures that B seems like her best bet, but she's not sure enough, so Ayesha asks the audience. 64% of the studio audience says B, with 22% saying C. They heard what Ayesha said, though, so that could have affected those numbers. But the AIM users didn't hear it, and 46% of them says C, with 21% saying B. Ayesha seems positive that it's not C, though, and she's now thinking A (said by 12% of the studio audience and 27% of the AIM users) for some reason. She then decides to call her mother Angela, but she doesn't give a response in time. With that, since it's a free guess, she just goes with A... but the studio audience was right! It was B! Oh well; at least she has $25,000!

[BTW, not counting WIAW Week, she is the 4th straight player to go home with $25,000, and the 8th straight player to reach the upper tier.]

The next player is Robyn Stephens (Yorkville, IL), and he can't believe that he's there. He considered not auditioning for the show, but thanks to some encouragement from his wife (who is in the audience), he went for it, and now, here he is! And Robyn starts by knowing that "The Greatest Show On Earth" is a trademarked phrase used to advertise a world-famous circus. He gets through the lower tier, and is on a roll heading into this...

[$25,000]
Autistic "mega-savant" Kim Peek was the main inspiration for what popular movie?
A: Forrest Gump
B: A Beautiful Mind
C: Shine
D: Rain Man

Robyn asks the audience. 70% of the studio audience and 44% of the AIM users say D. Robyn goes with D... and he has $25,000! Moving on...

[$50,000]
The highest vehicular tunnel in the world, the Eisenhower Tunnel crosses the Continental Divide in what U.S. state?
A: New Mexico
B: Utah
C: Colorado
D: Montana

Robyn decides to call his brother Reagan, who just refers to C while talking about skiing. Robyn figures that that means he doesn't know, so he switches it out. Apparently, it was C. But that question is gone now, and in its place is this...

[$50,000] (Q)
The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which started the day Rosa Parks was put on trial, lasted approximately how long?
A: One month
B: Six months
C: Nine months
D: One year

The 50:50 leaves C and D. Robyn goes with C... but it's D! But he had nothing to lose, and he goes home with $25,000!

[5th straight $25,000 winner; 9th straight player to reach the upper tier. Once again, this doesn't count WIAW Week.]

And there's the horn. See ya tomorrow!
