Roseli (Ricky, Christina, Myron, Julie, Joseph); $20,000
Sanchez (Imella, Antonio, Gina, Bryan, Shacari)

Round 1: a job a man brags his girlfriend has (6). Ricky's in love with a stripper for #3. Christina gets #4, a lawyer, but Myron gets the big one with a model. Doctor is also up there, but the Sanchez family gets a shot at the steal with actress...Not there! Roselis get 63. Other answers: CEO/executive, professor/teacher.

Round 2: a movie with the word "Good" in the title (5). Antonio fires and gets "Goodfells" in under the gun... Good answer for number one! We also get "A Few Good Men", "Good Will Hunting", and "As Good As It Gets". The Roselis steal with "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" for 121. Other answer: "Good Morning Vietnam".

Double Round: something you wish you'd been born with (5). Myron gets #3, a better body, but Gina gets the cash money for cash money. Nothing from the challengers, so we go to the champs with good looks for 231. Other answer: intelligence, height.

Triple Round: something gross a person might say they found in their fast food just so they could sue the company (4). Bryan gets hair for #3. Shacari gets bug for #2. That's it, as the Roselis try to steal with "spit."... Not there! Sanchezes get 141! Number one: finger (said!). Other answer: mouse.

Sudden death: people can spend years looking for the perfect what? That's Joseph... "Spouse."... Got it for the game, 522-141.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Jack Deschauer (public relations professional from Arlington, VA); $9200
Deborah Melman-Clement (writer/entrepreneur from Kingston, ON)
Kim Clemmer (PC technician from Leesburg, FL)

Last time, Jack came from behind in the final to take the game, but can he prove that his win was no fluke? He starts with $200 Classic Sports Commercials, finding the Daily Double ten clues later under $1000 State Capital Birthplaces. With the lead at $3400, he bets $1600 on Confederate Civil War General George Edward Pickett. "What is Columbia?" Nope, it was Richmond, as he drops to $1800. At the half, he still leads, $4000 to Kim's $3600. Deborah will start Double Jeopardy with $2400, but first, here's Alex...

"I'm looking at a clue I read some moments ago. 'An old rhyme says that this "without some cheese is like a kiss without a..."' And I said a sneeze, instead of a squeeze. I'm Canadian. I'm not well. The cold weather has gotten to me."

Deborah starts with $400 A Michael Douglas Film Festival. Kim finds the first Daily Double under $1200 Rating Scales. She bets $2000 on this: zero is "exclusively heterosexual" on a scale for men that's named for this scientist. "Who is Freud?" It was Kinsey, leaving her with $4400. Last category in play is Historic New Hampshire. Second Daily Double is a video under $1600. With $6400, she only bets $400. Cheryl? "The State House has a portrait of this youngest Speaker of the New Hampshire House; he was later President of the United States at age 48." "Who is Franklin Pierce?" Right for $6800, where she'll end the round. Kim is in second with $5200, while Jack has third with $4000.

Final Jeopardy! in "American Literature": this 1906 novel says, "Now & then a visitor wept, to be sure; but this slaughtering machine ran on, visitors or no." Correct question: What is "The Jungle?"

Everyone seemed to think either "Slaughterhouse 5" or "An American Tragedy", but in the end, Deborah had enough to win with $3199. Jack leaves with $10,200.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
We're going to break in style today with Carol Dessurealt, Whitney Wingfield, Michelle Green, and Jerry Rash. They're bidding on a home theatre system worth $1094. Michelle, only $97 short, gets a chance to pick up $50,000! It's time to play Plinko! After winning chips from Bob, a $35 tortilla maker, a $39 food dehydrator, and an $80 garment steamer, she drops out $10,000... $0, $1000, and $500 for $11,500.

From big money, we go to flatware. Jerry wins the $945 set, and a chance at a Dodge Caravan! The game is One Away, and the price is NOT $31,248. He sets it at $22,359... One... two... three horns. He then switches to $22,337. Actual price... $20,159.

Shirley Nash wins a set of self-study language courses. She gets a shot at a hot tub playing Freeze Frame. She freezes the frame at $3275... But she should've waited a couple more moves, losing the $4995 hot tub. She'd also lose her place in the Showcase, as Michelle would go on to win it.

Whitney wins ski equipment worth $1775, but she has a chance now to make use of those skis in Aspen worth $4830. The game is Hit Me. The house has a 9 showing. Whitney's cards... and products: Hot Pockets ($22.90), Renuzit Airlets ($16.47), Dexatrim Max ($22.99), Nesquik strawberry ($30.73), Philips' Milk of Magnesia ($42.80), and Little Debbie Honey Buns ($2.78). She draws the Hot Pockets.... $2.29! That's 10. Then she draws the honey buns... $1.39. That's another 2 for 12. The Airlets are... $5.49 for 3, giving Whitney 15. She then gets the Dexatrim for... $22.99. That gives her 16. She stays at 16.... to a dealer 9... The hole card... 10. Dealer 19 beats player 16.

Carl wins a gold/sapphire pendant worth $726 and, with his wife in the crowd, gets a chance at a drum set and a sofa at Barker's Bargain Bar. The drum set is marked at $667. The sofa is marked at $785. Carl goes for the drum set, a $600 discount. The sofa... $400. Carl and wife Kaoru are winners!

Finally, Scott Messemer wins a $2295 curio cabinet and a chance at a new Jeep Wrangler playing That's Too Much! He thinks that $19,801 is Too Much! And That's... one short. He should've gone one more for the $20,759 car. Both Scott and Carl go over in the Showdown round, winning it for Whitney.

First in the Showcase, a new bedroom with a sleep set, an HDTV, and a waverunner. Top winner Michelle passes to Whitney, who bids $16,500. Going to Michelle, who meets Sneaky Sam as her sneaks involve a gas range, a trip to Hawaii, and a new Dodge Charger. She bids $25,978. Actual price: $28,109, a difference of $2131. Now to Whitney, whose actual price is.. $22,995, a difference of $6495. It's Michelle's game, winning $40,857 in cash and prizes.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Lea Quiray (Jersey City, NJ) got to $1,000. 5 questions down, 10 to go...

It is again mentioned that Lea is looking for a job, and she has been for a few months. One sort of job she'd like is, apparently, as a backup dancer for J-Lo. Meredith asks to see how good she is at dancing, and she says she'll do some dancing as the money grows. If she does well enough, this could be interesting... With that, the game continues...

[$2,000]
Which of these natural wonders is believed to have been formed over millions of years by the Colorado River?
A: Grand Canyon
B: San Andreas Fault
C: Carlsbad Caverns
D: Death Valley

Lea asks the audience. 89% of each audience (studio and AIM) says A. Lea trusts them... and they're right! Next question...

[$4,000]
What candy is protected by a U.S. Patent titled "Process of Preparing Gasified Candy"?
A: Smarties
B: Pop Rocks
C: Jujubes
D: Good & Plenty

The 50:50 leaves A and B. It's not enough for Lea, who then calls her fiancé, Patrick. Patrick guesses B, but he's only 50% sure. Lea decides to go with B... and it's B! Her lifelines are gone now, but she does get through a couple more questions before facing this...

[$25,000]
In 2005, televangelist Pat Robertson sparked controversy when he called for the assassination of what country's president?
A: Colombia
B: Peru
C: Venezuela
D: Argentina

After some thought, Lea decides to walk. After seeing that it was C, she receives her check for $16,000!

Next up is Les Fairbanks (Flushing, NY). After he retired, he decided to do things that "an irresponsible person would do". He went parasailing, white-water rafting, and gliding, but he wants to go skydiving. His family won't let him skydive, though. But it wouldn't surprise me if he manages to do so someday. Anyway, Les starts by knowing that in strip poker, a losing player must hand over a piece of clothing instead of poker chips (though I bet some may say that player would also lose his/her last shred of dignity). He easily completes the lower tier, then after a few more questions, he has this...

[$16,000]
On the TV show "Lost," the castaways include a lottery winner, a rock star, a fugitive and a dog named what?
A: Monty
B: Vincent
C: Rufus
D: Max

Les decides to ask the audience. 42% of the studio audience says B, with 35% saying D. But 33% of the AIM users say D, with 32% saying B. Those aren't exactly good numbers, so Les uses the 50:50. A and B remain. With that, Les says B... and he's right! He then makes it to $25,000!

And just in time, too, as the horn goes off. Les will be back next time to tackle the upper tier.
