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

Williams (Ron, Carrie, Cindy, Jackie, Danielle); $22,285, four days

DiMauro (Charity, Brandi, Gina, Dan, Terry)

The Williamses are back with one more go at the big money. But first, they have to take out the challenging DiMauros.

Round 1: something people own that they brag about being really big (6). Charity's house beats Ron's car, 1 to 2. The DiMauros (with Gina dancing) add on boat, but the Williamses get it for the steal. They try college degrees.... 79 to the DiMauros! Other answers: TV, money/bank account, body parts.

Round 2: a food you associate with the South (7). Carrie gets #1, chicken wings. The champs add sweet potato pie and grits. The DiMauros try to steal with cornbread... Not there! The Williamses get 58. Other answers: chitlins, hush puppies, jambalaya (said!), rice.

Double Round: besides another person, something else you've kissed (5). Gina hits the money answer with a dog. Charity saves it with the floor. The Williamses kiss dice for the steal... Not there, the DiMauros have 215. Other answers: stuffed animal, photograph, rabbit's foot.

Triple Round: something that women wash more often than men do (4). Jackie gets #1, underwear (all clothes). The family adds on body, bed sheets, and dishes for the sweep and win, 355-215.

Final shot at Fast Money glory for Carrie and Jackie. Unfortunately, they get only another $500, to bring their final total to $22,785.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Bruce Brown (substitute teacher orig. from Cincinnati); $28,906

Alicia Aho (bookseller from Seattle)

Michael Smith (actor orig. from Montreal)

Bruce may not repeat as champion, but you have to give him this.. He's made more money than the past three champs combined.

He starts with $200 Museums, finding the Daily Double under $800 Ranks & Titles. The only one in money at the moment (with $4400), he bets, get ready... $3389. The clue: Dr. Primrose was one of these priests in Wakefield in an Oliver Goldsmith novel. "What is a vicar?" Right for $7789!

The significance of odd numbers? "Eighty-nine dollars is pretty much a day's pay for a substitute teacher. And the 17... I don't know where that came from." All three players are in the blue going into the half, but Bruce is still in the lead with $10,989 to Alicia's $2200. Michael has $600 and first pickings in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Science "T"alk, with Alicia finding the first Daily Double under $800. She'll "bid... err, wager" (C-Note: that's another show downtown, sweetie) $6000 on this: it's the second of the 3 main sections of an arthropod's body. "What is the thorax?" Correct for $14,200 and the lead! Second Daily Double goes unclaimed as Bruce reclaims the lead by $789, $17,789 to Alicia's $17,000. Michael is a longshot at $3000.

Final Jeopardy! in "Geographic Nicknames": from the 1795 poem "Erin": "Nor one feeling of vengeance presume to defile/the cause, or the men, of" this place. Correct question: What is the Emerald Isle?

Michael... got the country, but not the nickname. Alicia... Right. She ends up with $28,000. Bruce has to bet big... and he did... Too bad he too questioned "What is Ireland?" Woops. Alicia's coming back with $28,000, while Bruce leaves with $29,906.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Last time, Leah Goldberg (Chicopee, MA) needed the 50:50 to get to the $4,000 level. How far up the ladder will she go today?

It turns out that Leah has 11 tattoos, including one that says "Lady Luck". Go figure. Also, Leah likes to read. In fact, she sometimes reads up to 12 books a week! Wow. Oh, and she also wins a lot of radio contests. So much so, that she got letters from a couple of stations that basically told her to stop winning! I certainly hope she doesn't stop winning yet; at least not until after she's done here! With that, the game resumes...

[$8,000]
Richard Starkey, who is better known by his stage name, played the drums for what legendary rock band?
A: The Rolling Stones
B: The Doors
C: Led Zeppelin
D: The Beatles

Leah calls her mother's friend Susan, who says D "without a doubt". Leah goes with D... and it's D! Moving on...

[$16,000]
In 2005, what powerful Republican was indicted on criminal charges of money laundering and conspiracy?
A: Tom DeLay
B: Dennis Hastert
C: Bill Frist
D: Trent Lott

Leah asks the audience. An astounding 86% of the studio audience says A, and so does 49% of the AIM users. Leah trusts them... and they're right! Next question...

[$25,000]
What island nation lies less than 100 miles away from India across the treacherous Palk Strait?
A: Madagascar
B: Sri Lanka
C: Cyprus
D: Indonesia

Leah has no idea, so she decides to walk. After seeing that it was B, she heads outta there with $16,000!

Next in the hot seat is Russ Bleil (Brooklyn, NY). He is excited to be here, and he has been waiting all day for this. So, they get right to it with him knowing that to deter potential intruders, homeowners commonly post signs on their property reading "Beware of Dog" (Lawn Gnomes may look scary, but they're inanimate). He gets to $1,000 without a problem, then soon faces this...

[$4,000]
In the folk song "On Top of Old Smoky," the singer laments the loss of his what?
A: Way home
B: Fair steed
C: Bag of gold
D: True lover

Russ decides to turn to the audience for help, and both polls favour D (87% of studio; 51% of AIM). Russ trusts them... and they're right! Another question later, and this one shows up...

[$16,000]
In 2005, the College Board added to its SAT exam a new section called what?
A: Analytical Skills
B: Science
C: Writing
D: History

Russ calls Steve, who guesses C. Russ then uses the 50:50, leaving A and C. He goes with C... and it's C! He then gets to $25,000, before getting to this...

[$50,000]
Because its orbit is highly elliptical, what planet's distance from the sun can range from 2.8 to 4.5 billion miles?
A: Saturn
B: Jupiter
C: Uranus
D: Pluto

Russ seems to have an idea that it's one of two, but he decides to switch this question out. He'd have guessed D... and that's what it was. But it's gone now, and this is in its place...

[$50,000] (Q)
The U.S. Postal Service still uses mules to deliver mail to a remote Indian reservation in what state?
A: New Mexico
B: Utah
C: California
D: Arizona

Russ goes with D... and he's right! Still going...

[$100,000]
In 1974, what product became the first to be scanned by a retailer using the UPC bar code?
A: Hershey bar
B: Wrigley's gum
C: Planters peanuts
D: Coca-Cola six-pack

Russ wants to say A, but he just can't do it. So, he walks. Good thing too; it was B. That sends him home with $50,000!

And that'll do it for today. New player tomorrow.
