Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
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); $760
Pierucci (Chris, Joe, Alan, Tiffany, Andie)

100 people surveyed said Richard Karn's number one... And they're all in the audience today.

Round 1: 100 women finished this sentence, "A man doesn't have a chance with me if he doesn't have a..." (6). Chris: "a J-O-B!" Number one! Also a must... personality, a good heart, a ride, a fat bank account, and a brain. The Pieruccis sweep for 93.

Round 2: one fact about John Lennon (7). Shamika gets the top answer with "He was a Beatle." And now, for your consideration... Maily with today's dumb answer of the day... "He's still alive." The family does get Yoko Ono, being killed, and being a musician. The Pieruccis try to steal with being from England... Not there! Huynhs get 91! Other answers: he wore glasses, he has sons (said!), believed in peace (said!).

Double Round: a word or phrase with "belly" (5). Maily gets bellyache for #4, but Alan goes bananza with "belly dancer" for #1. Belly button also makes the survey. The Huynhs want to see Jelly Belly. Got it for 211! Other answer: belly-up to the bar.

Triple Round: something specific that gets brushed (4). Tiffany brushes her hair for #1. Also up on the board... teeth, dogs, and... yourself? The Huynhs hope so... No! The Pieruccis win, 378-211! Other answer: cat.

Tiffany and Andie go to the Fast Money board, getting the $20,000 in seven.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Christine Black (administrative assistant from Warwick, NY - correction from yesterday); $600
Mike Hagesfeld (software developer from Cleveland Heights, OH)
Scott Gardner (Army lawyer from Tampa)

Yesterday, Christine lucked out to take home $600, which is a prime place to be, because even if she loses, it's a given that she will double up.

Our heroine starts today with $200 Shakespeare. At the TV time out, Christine has six times what she's sitting on... $2400. That's good for second to Scott's $2800 and Mike's $2200. A very close game, indeed.

Wise words from Mike when dealing with Chinese buffet: "Stay away from the seafood... You don't know WHEN it started out as seafood." From that, we go to the Daily Double under $1000 Measure for Measure. Still playing a bit conservative, and still in the middle as a result, Christine bets the level on this: in gold content measurement, one karat is equal to this fraction of pure gold. "What is 1/24?" Right for $4600! That's where she'll end the round, in the lead. Mike is nipping at the bud with $4400, while Scott, with $3000, gets first pickings of the board in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 World Leaders. Mike finds the first Daily Double under $2000 Airline Ad Slogans. Now in the lead, he bets $1400 on "the world's favourite airline". "What is British Airways?" Right for $7800. Scott finds the other Daily Double under $800 World Leaders. Trailing with $7000, he bets $2000 on this: in 1920, 1922, 1926 & 1990 this country had a president with Chamorro in his or her name. "What is Nicaragua?" Right for the lead and $9000! After yet another visit from Pretty Boy Probst, we end the round with Scott in the lead with $11,000. Christine at $9400, and Mike at $8600. Still a very tight game.

Final Jeopardy! in "Food Lore": in food lore, the design of this treat symbolizes arms folded in prayer & the 3 holes stand for the Trinity. Correct question: What is a pretzel?

It's all on the major as Mike nails and Christine bombs. He's right, and he'll win $18,801 for it. Christine leaves with $1600.

The $3,000 Tossup is ON THE MAP. Bob has $7,400 with RENO NEVADA. He starts this round which is ON THE MENU. But we go right into a $1,700 a letter FINAL SPIN. Bob wins with HAM AND CHEESE ON RYE for $1,700. He almost wins the whole game, but leaves with $9,100. Lara leaves with $1,000. But Megan squeaks out the win by $383 and a total of $9,483 in cash and trip to Colorado.
 
Megan just barely eeked out a win. It's all up to her in the Bonus Round. She lands on the ** Wedge. Her category is THING. With the RSTLNE we have:
 
S _ _ _ _ _ N _

She chooses C D K I and we have no help.
 
This was insanely tough. It was SYMPHONY. And she lost $50,000 in college money. But she leaves with $9,483 in cash and trip to Aspen.
