Family Feud
by Chico Alexander
Air time: Check local listings
Host: John O'Hurley
Website:
www.familyfeud.tv |
|
Hollywood comes to the Feud this week...
Well, almost.
Male Lookalikes (Johnny
Depp, Howard Stern, Elvis Presley, George W. Bush,
Bono)
one game, $20,000 |
Female
Lookalikes
(Angelina Jolie, Whoopi Goldberg, Marilyn Monroe,
Paris Hilton, Dolly Parton) |
Round 1: 100 men, something you'd
be happy to find waiting for you when you came home from work (5).
Angelina gets #2, your wife. Whoopi gets #5, her dog. Marilyn gets
the big one, dinner. The guys can steal with alcohol... Good for
74. Other answer: big check/money.
Round 2: a movie Eddie Murphy was funny in (7). Dr. Dolittle beats
Trading Places, 2 to 5. Whoopi wins this one. Paris gave an answer
of "that movie where he put the fat suit on." The guys don't go
with that for the steal, but Beverly Hills Cop is just as well for
100. Number one... what Paris said, a.k.a. "The Nutty Professor".
Other answers: Coming to America, Daddy Day Care, 48 Hours.
Dead-People
Double Faceoff: something you associate with the word "puff" (full
board). Elvis gets #3, cigarette. Marilyn goes two better with
Puff the Magic Dragon. Ladies follow up with powder puff and a
puff of smoke. Guys have another chance at it with a cream puff...
No? Ladies get 122. Other answers: Puff Daddy, Puffs tissue.
Triple: someone with Howard in their name (4). Mr.. President gets
#2, Howard Stern. Bono gets the topper, Howard Hughes. Ladies have
a shot to take the game with Howard Cosell. Right for the win,
350-100. Other answer: Ron Howard.
Fast Money: Whoopi & Marilyn get 151 for $755.
In the nightcap, the Jacksons (Byron, Jasmine, Rhonda, Jan,
Alicia; $1970) take on the Henleys (Sean, Roderick, Carrie, Evora,
Lauren), who are here to make it do what it do, baby. Henleys lead,
163-88. Triple: a place people wait for their turn by reading magazines
(4). Jan gets a free swing at it and knocks out #1, a doctor's office.
They strike out, though, as the Henleys try to steal with the checkout
stand... New champs, 394-88. Other answers: library, beauty salon.
Fast Money: Lauren & Sean get 221 in seven for $20,000! Way to make it
do what it do. |

Merv Griffin's Crosswords
by Gordon Pepper
Air time: Check local listings
Host: Ty Treadway

Dave Barrett
Retired Attorney
California |
Catherine Allen
Copy Editor
Indiana |
Catherine finds the Extra, and bets $350 on this 'Units of
Extended Landed Property'. Acres moves Catherine up to $700. She
gets up to $950 Vs. David's $250.
But we have spoilers who want to spoil. Spoil, spoilers, spoil.
Rob Aft
Business Finance Consultant
Georgia |
Sandy Nang
Practice Support Coordinator
California |
Allen McGarrett
Deupty Sheriff
California
|
Allen locks himself out, while Dave
locks himself into an Extra. He bets $400 on this - 'The Real Slim
Shady Rapper'. No idea? Eminem! And the crowd boos at him. Rob
gets the first spoil, and he takes over Catherine's podium at
$1,450. Dave finds the second Extra and trying to redeem himself,
bets the max on this - 'Revolutionary Russki'. Lenin gets him up
to $1,950 and the lead. Catherine spoils Dave off of a bungled
spelling and she has a $2,350-$1,650 lead over Rob.
Round #3: Rob makes a mad run at Catherine and only trails by
$300. With $2,750, Rob goes $2,000 on the bet. 'Like a wind
blowing from DC to the mid-west; Westward? No. Easterly and Rob
plummets to $750. Catharine can breathe a sigh of relief - if she
doesn't get spoiled. But Dave gets her on the very last question
and wins $3,900.
Can he win a bonus $5,000 and a trip to Puerto Rico? No he can't;
he leaves two squares open as time expires. He still leaves with
almost $4,000.
What I learned in Crosswords:
Ukuleles: String meaning 'jumping fleas'

Poker After Dark
by Chico Alexander
Air time: 2:05a/1:05c on NBC
Hosts: Marianela Pereyra & Oliver "Ali" Nejad
Website:
www.nbcsports.com/poker |

Last night, Gabe, the Brooklyn cowboy, took
the early chip lead. .
Doyle Brunson
$20,000 |
Chris "Jesus"
Ferguson
$17,000 |
Chau Giang
$14,000 |
Andy Bloch
$23,000 |
Hoyt Corkins
$21,000 |
Gabe "Mr. Kotter"
Kaplan
$25,000 |
BLINDS: $150/$300 |
Andy starts with K-Q against
Chris's A-9. Flop: 5-A-J. Chris has a pair, but Andy has a
straight draw. Turn: 10♥. Andy makes
the nuts on this one, as there's no other card that can help
Chris. Andy continues to juice the pot until he takes $6950.
Doyle recalls a hand from "High
Stakes Poker" when he gets K-J against Gabe's A-5♥.
Fliop: J-K-10. Gabe flops a straight draw, while Doyle slow plays
top two pair. Turn: 4♥. Gabe picks up
a nut flush draw. River: 9♥. That'll
give Gabe the hand with a flush, but will Doyle outplay him? Nope.
He mucks his hand and gives Gabe $8100.
Three-way action gives us a flop of
3-6-K. Doyle's Ace-high is still the best hand. Turn: 9♣. Doyle
mucks. Andy (8-7♥) picks up an
open-ended straight draw. Gabe (8-5♦)
picks up a belly buster straight draw. He throws it away, giving
$16,150 to Andy.
Fresh in the chip lead, Andy plays
A-J against Hoyt's A-10♣. Flop: 2-K-J. Turn:
A♦. Bad card for Hoyt. Andy has two pair. Hoyt has Aces and
a straight draw. River: 8♦. Andy
fires another $5000 and takes back $20,000.
Andy plays A-J against Gabe's
Jacks. Flop: 7-7-5. Andy makes a surprising check-raise, wanting
Gabe to think that he's got a full boat. Gabe... calls it! He's
all-in. Turn: 6♥. River: K♠. Gabe
wins this one to double up to $33,600.
We end the night with Andy's 3s
against Chau's 10s. Flop: 6-Q-J. Turn: K♠. Chau bets $1500. Andy
lays it down, and Chau takes a rare pot with $4500.
Things are starting to get
interesting. Come back tonight and see if someone slips...

Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire

Air time: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira

Eric Melin (Lawrence, KS) has $16,000 and 2 lifelines available as
Million Dollar Movie Week continues.
He gets another lifeline after securing $25,000, and he then sees
this...
[$50,000]
Before sparring with Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man 2," Alfred Molina made
his major film debut in what '80s blockbuster?
A: The Empire Strikes Back
B: Beverly Hills Cop
C: Raiders of the Lost Ark
D: Ghostbusters
A couple of times, Eric came close to locking in C. But something is
telling him that A could be a possibility, so he uses the 50:50. Of
course, A and C remain. Nonetheless, Eric finally locks in C... and he
was right all along!
[$100,000]
Which of these literary adaptations is not a Merchant Ivory production?
A: Maurice
B: The Wings of the Dove
C: Surviving Picasso
D: The Golden Bowl
Eric calls a friend, Laura, and she says C. Eric goes with that... but
it's B! Darn. Well, at least he has $25,000!
Michelle Allen (Albany, CA): She's a professional fund raiser.
Apparently, when she has a stressful situation to deal with, she likes
to pretend to be a movie character that nobody can say "no" to. And she
does a neat impression of Marlon Brando from "The Godfather".
No reason to say "no" to her yet, as she makes it to $1,000. Then, after
the $2,000 Netflix question featuring a clip from "The Last King of
Scotland", she has this to deal with...
[$4,000]
Which of these "back-to-back" films both feature the same actor in a
primary role?
A: Rosemary's Baby Boom
B: Malcolm X-Men
C: Muriel's Wedding Crashers
D: Ocean's Twelve Monkeys
Before & After, anyone? Well, Michelle decides to ask the audience on
this one, and 70% are saying D. She trusts them... and they're right!
[$8,000]
In "The Karate Kid," Daniel-san tries to avoid bullies by attending his
high school's Halloween dance dressed as a what?
A: Medieval Knight
B: Shower
C: Table lamp
D: Hockey goalie
Since she didn't see this movie, Michelle calls Debra. However, Debra
has no idea. So, in comes the 50:50, narrowing it down to B and C. Then,
after some thought, Michelle says B... and it's B! She then gets to
$16,000 before time runs out for today. |
