Marah Eakin
(publicist from Brooklyn, NY); $8800 |
|
Samantha Kaji
(supervisor from Chilliwack, BC) |

Steve Toffler (travel
marketing executive from Boca Raton, FL) |
Two days removed from the
Teen Tourney, and we're playing musical champions again.
The newest in a chain of champs, Marah, starts with $200
A Side of Bacon. Steve gets that one... and the Daily
Double under $600 Out West. Steve, with $1000, bets half
on the largest lake in the US west of the Rockies. "What
is Lake Mead?" Nope, it's the Great Salt Lake, as he
drops to $500. He recovers to take the lead, $2900 to
Samantha's $1800. Marah, not too far behind with $1600,
starts Double Jeopardy!...
...with $400 A La
Française. Samantha finds the first Daily Double under
$1200 Literary Subtitles. $300 behind, she bets $2000.
The clue: Helen Prejean: "An Eyewitness Account of the
Death Penalty in the United States". "What is 'Dead Man
Walking'?" Right for $5000! She also finds the second
under $2000 The Elements. She wagers the level here:
these 2 elements were named for substances they were
first separated out of--potash and soda ash. "What are
potassium and sodium?" Got it for $15,400. She ends in
the catbird seat with $19,000 to Marah's $9200 and
Steve's $2900.
Final Jeopardy!
in "The Solar System": the 2 planets in our
solar system that have atmospheres made up mostly of
carbon dioxide. Correct question: What are Venus and
Mars?
Steve is the only one who
got it right, but Samantha's the only one to return
tomorrow as she loses only $100 to win with $18,900.
Marah leaves with $10,800.

The
Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS
(markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker |

We start this day in history
with Veronica Barrios, Sandra Inman, Kevin Horton, Anna
McMurtrey, and an LCD TV. Retails about $2799. Veronica
gets it for free. Now she has a chance at a sofa... or
maybe a Dodge Dakota! Either way, that TV's going
somewhere. Of course, she could always end up with some
pink piece of clay with four legs. It's time to play Any
Number. First number in the truck... 2. Next: 5... Sofa.
3 and 4... Piggy bank. 8... The truck! 7... Sofa... 1
and 9... Truck! Last pick is a 6... It's in the truck!
Sandra takes a $969
fireplace in round 2, but we hope she doesn't use it to
burn the $10,000 she could win on the Punchboard. She
takes three prizes (cordless phone, margarita blender,
and "Lady & The Tramp"--now available on DVD!). First
punch... $50. She takes it back and gets 10 times that,
$500. She gives it back... and Bob shows her another
$500 ticket. That's all she ends up with today.
Cleta Kirkland,
meanwhile, is a one-round wonder, winning a $765 set of
snowboard equipment. Now Cleta Steps Up to Step Up for a
pair of air bikes, a dinette set, a Donkey Kong/Donkey
Kong Jr./Mario Bros. cabinet game, and a modular
gearbox. Not to mention up to $3000! She takes the
gearbox first at $480. Then comes the $1399 air bikes!
That's worth $500. But that's as far as she goes. Had
she gone further, she would've earned another prize and
another $1000. And speaking of moving on, that's what
Veronica does, as she scores 85 on the Wheel.
Vicki Goyetche steps into
the yellow hot spot and gets a wine refrigerator worth
$889. She can win a catamaran if she can guess which of
the Double Prices, either $5165 or $4395, is right. She
goes with $5165... and it's $4365. Darn.
Anna gets her shot on
stage thanks to a necklace worth $1175. Now she can win
a piano playing Now... or Then. Now... February 2006.
Then... September 1996. The wheel: Cascade dishwashing
gel ($3.09), Capzasin P ($12.99), Capri Sun ($2.29),
Garlique ($8.99), Super Poligrip ($3.55), and Gold Bond
Ultimate lotion ($8.90). She starts with the Garlique,
saying now.. It's NOW! She thinks the drinks are now...
THEN. She thinks the Poligrip is then... NOW. She needs
to get the next three right to win. Starting with the
lotion, she says now. NOW! She says then on the gel...
THEN! She says now on the Capzasin... NOW! A
come-from-behind win!
Last chance for Kevin
with a game table. Actual price... $600. Winner...
Jennifer Black. She rolls the dice for a Chevrolet
Cobalt. First number... 1. She rolls 3 next... higher.
She rolls 6... lower. She rolls 2... higher. She
rolls 3... higher. The actual price... 14,354! That's a
win! Jennifer also wins in the Showcase Showdown,
spinning 65.
First in the Showcase: a
new bedroom with sleep set, security system, and a hot
tub. Top winner Veronica passes to Jennifer, who tags it
at $15,000. Meanwhile, Veronica gets a visit from Polly
the spacey painter, who was working with her iPod,
thinking about a trip to Monte Carlo, and thinking about
a cruise of Tahiti. Veronica bids $18,000. Actual price:
$15,673. If she took Jennifer's bid, she would've only
been off by $673. If Jennifer took Veronica's bid, she'd
only be off $945, because it was $18,945. Other than
that, it's a win for Jennifer, as she won $33,899 in
prizes.
Stats: 3-2-1, $61,429. |

the Bonus Wheel? The puzzle: Phrase. Given the
standard package and HDG O, we get...

Nothing... She has
to WALK THE PLANK for today's show, but she does
so with $16,600 all in money. Had she won,
though... she would've been $30,000 richer.

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |

Ah, there's nothing like
going to the local theater and watching a good movie. Of
course, there are those who know a lot about movies, and
some of them have a shot at making a lot of money
because of it, as Million Dollar Movie Week continues...
Starting the day in the hot seat is Ian Yanong (Aurora,
IL). He loves watching movies at home so much, he
actually cried when his wife gave him a new TV set! When
they got engaged, he kept asking for a new TV until he
got one. Heck, his wife, Gail, who is in the audience,
said that he took pictures with the TV! Wow, talk about
obsessed! Anyway, Ian starts by knowing that movie
character surnames Dolittle, Strangelove, and Zhivago
share the title of Doctor. Soon after, he gets to
this...
[$300]
Movies belonging to what film genre are traditionally
set in the late 19th century?
A: Sword and sandals
B: Romance
C: Film noir
D: Western
Ian says B... but he's wrong! It's D! And unfortunately,
that means Ian has gone the way of the L-L-A-M-A, going
home with Z-I-L-C-H.
Let's hope Steve Striegel (Seattle, WA) does better. He
was once a waiter, but he chose to quit his job to
become a stay-at-home dad. And he hopes that his 3 boys
will become filmmakers someday. So if he wins enough
money here, he plans to buy filmmaking equipment for
them! Awww... It also turns out that in the 4th grade,
he was friends with Sean Penn! This oughta be
interesting, then... Steve starts by knowing that in a
climactic scene from the "Star Wars" movies, Darth Vader
reveals himself to be Luke's father (maybe he was a
Secret Santa at one point; I don't know). He thankfully
makes it through the lower tier, then after a break, we
are reminded that all players this week each get a
1-year subscription to Netflix, and all audience members
this week each get a 3-month subscription. Then, after a
couple more questions (the $4,000 question featured a
clip from "The Shawshank Redemption"), this comes up...
[$8,000]
In the 1989 movie "Heathers," the trend-setting Heathers
spend much of their time playing which of these games?
A: Croquet
B: Field hockey
C: Horseshoes
D: Tennis
Steve asks the audience. 50% of the studio audience and
36% of the AIM users say A. Steve trusts them... and
they're right! Another question later, and he faces this
one...
[$25,000]
Ron O'Neal stars as Youngblood Priest, a criminal who
"sticks it to the man," in which of these blaxploitation-era
films?
A: Dolemite
B: Cotton Comes to Harlem
C: Superfly
D: The Mack
Steve thinks about it for a bit. Though he is reminded
that he still has a couple of lifelines available, he
eventually decides to take the gamble, going with C...
and he has $25,000! Moving on...
[$50,000]
An overlook at what national park provides the name and
a setting for Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 movie "Zabriskie
Point"?
A: Bryce Canyon
B: Yosemite
C: Death Valley
D: Badlands
Steve is only sure of one that it isn't, so he uses the
50:50, which leaves B and C. It turns out that the one
that he is sure it isn't is still there, so he goes with
the other choice, saying C... and he's right!
Steve still has 2 lifelines, and 4 questions to go. Will
he win a million dollars? We'll find out tomorrow.
And yes, I gotta mention the sweepstakes at
www.netflix.com/Millionaire again. If you want a 20"
widescreen LCD TV with a built-in DVD player, and you
live in the U.S., go ahead and point your browser at
that site, and enter the contest! |
