Family Feud by Chico Alexander and Chris Tufts, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Huynh (Chi, Shamika, Maily, Denita, Brenda)
Pomano (Kelly, Holli, Heather, Hailey, Mary); $1525, two days

Round 1: something you might catch up on (6). Chi fires with number 2, sleep. Kelly says newspaper... reading counts. It's number one. Bills and work also make the board, but the Huynhs go with housekeeping to steal the 73. Other answer: soap operas/TV

Round 2: something that people soak (5). Shamika gets the top answer in with their bodies (feet/themselves). Beans and laundry also build the bank, but what about pots and pans? The Pomanos hope so for the steal... No! The Huynhs are up to 163! Other answers: dishes (said!), dentures (also said!).

Double Round: something that starts with the word "space" (full board). Maily makes the Huyns 3-for-3 with spaceship. Space saver is also gotten, but the Pomanos get the steal with space bar. Not there, giving the Huynhs 215. Other answers: space cadet, space shuttle, spacecraft, Space Invaders.

Triple Round: something people play for hours and hours (4). Hailey loves playing video games for number one. Cards and music also make the boards. Sports is the Hyunhs' choice for the steal.... Huynhs win, 503-0!

Husband and wife Chi and Shamika ride Fast Money for $760.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
John Ward (musician from Blue Hill, ME); $11,599
Christine Black (administrative assistantoriginally from St. Petersburg, FL)
Nick Ruiz (student orig. from South Lake Tahoe, CA)

(C-Note: As you may or may not know, I am a practicing Buddhist, so to see John start the game off with $200 Buddhism's Eightfold Path brings a smile to my face.)

Inner peace comes to Christine early with the Daily Double under that category for $600. She bets $1000 on this: the Right Views aren't the ones out your window; they concern the 4 Noble Truths & this, Sanskrit for "action" or "fate". "What is karma?" That would've gotten her the money. Instead, "I have no idea" leaves her with -$600. She rebounds to $3000, not enough to catch Nick's $3600. John, with $2400, starts, gets to go first in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Cities by the "Ton", in which Nick finds the first Daily Double under $2000. Erynn has the lead when John finds the Daily Double. Nick goes for half the level on the capital controlled at times by Britain, France, Spain, the Republic of West Florida, the CSA, and the US. "What is Montgomery?" Nope. It's Baton Rouge, dropping him to $2200. After a visit from Mr. Moviefone, we blend words for $1200, the second Daily Double. Christine bets $1500 on this: in 1960, Manfred Clynes combined these 2 words to create cyborg. "I don't know." "What is cybernetic organism?" would've given her the money. She drops to $1100. After this non-event of a game, John and Nick are in a dead-heat with $6400 and $6200, respectfully. Christine could play spoiler with $3100.

Final Jeopardy! in "Nature": far from the mainland, Hawaii is poor in native mammals: it has 2, a type of seal & a type of this, order Chiroptera. Correct question: What is a bat?

No one gets it as Christine wins this one .... winning... get this... $600. John leaves with $13,599. Nick leaves with $1000.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
Beware the Ides of March...but don't be afraid of the Wednesday edition of "Spring Break" week on WOF!
 
The $1,000 Tossup is PHRASE. Brooke Gross is from Philadelphia. She solved TESTING THE WATERS for $1,000. She is attending Law School in the Fall. Susan McClosky is from New Orleans and a Stay at Home Mom. She was affected by the hurricane, living in Texas. Matt Kelly is from Lake Forest, IL. He is a psychology professor.
 
The $2,000 Tossup is FUN AND GAMES. Matt has $2,000 with PONY RIDES. We add a trip to South Padre Island, TX worth $4,820 to the wheel. The category is BEFORE AND AFTER. Matt starts. He hits Bankrupt on his first spin...over to Brooke. She misses...over to Susan. Susan picks up the South Padre Island trip. She misses...over to Matt. He hits Lose A Turn..back to Brooke. She hits and picks up the 1 yr 24 Hour Fitness Gift Tag. She hits Lose A Turn...over to Susan. She misses...over to Matt. He misses...back to Brooke who solves GRANOLA BAR EXAM for $1,550. She has $3,550 in total of cash and fitness.  
 
The jackpot round is sponsored by Meineke. The category is PERSON....and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. Brooke starts. She hits Banrkupt...over to Susan who hits it as well...over to Matt. He hits the $1,000 Cash from Hawaiian Tropic gift tag. He hits and picks up the Free Spin. He hits 1 $3,500 D. He misses, and uses the Free Spin. He solves CLASSICALLY TRAINED FLAMENCO GUITARIST for $6,000. He can hear those in Spain...it's a trip to Barcelona from lastminutetravel.com. It's worth $4,000. And if you have the SPIN ID of AT02113 you are off to Barcelona. And if you have the SONY Card, you have 50 large! That round was worth $11,000 and he has $13,000 in cash and trip to Spain!  
 
The mystery round prize is $10,000 courtesy of Radisson Hotels and Resorts. The category is SONG TITLE. Susan misses...over to Matt. He hits 3 $3,500 W's and solves WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD for $11,000! He has $24,000 in cash and trip!  
 
The $3,000 Tossup is LIVING THINGS. Susan is on the board with RHODODENDRONS. She starts this round which is THING. She misses...over to Matt. He solves SUNLESS TANNING LOTION for $5,400. He has $29,400 now and we have time for another round...
 
...which is PROPER NAME. But we go right into the FINAL SPIN...$1,300 a letter...And Brooke solves PAMELA ANDERSON for $1,300. She leaves with $4,850 in cash and fitness. Susan leaves with $3,000. But Matt is out big winner with a trip to Spain with a total of $29,400!
 
Matt has a lot of money...can we add a car to that list? He lands on the ** wedge. His category is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:
 
_ _ _ _ N _
T _ E   _  _ _
 
He chooses MDKI and we have:
 
_ _ _ I N _
T _ E   _ _ _
 
I thought it was tough. But he just blurted out PAVING THE WAY...and his driveway will be paved with a new 2006 Saab 9(3) convertible worth $39,670! And he leaves with a huge total of $69,070 in cash, car and trip...but we have a car to give away...if you have WR02159 you have a Saab and if you have the Sony Card you have $50,000! What a great way to end the show!
