Family Feud by Chico Alexander and Chris Tufts, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Lewis (Danielle, Shannon, Shirley, Alfred, Jo)
Pierucci (Chris, Joe, Alan, Tiffany, Andie) from Houston; $20,000

Jeopardy! isn't the only game show with a revolving champ problem. Will the Pieruccis buck that trend?

Round 1: a rule at a drive-in theatre (6). Chris tries "No packing people in the trunk"...  Count it with "no sneaking in" for #4. Joe turns his lights off with #2. The Lewises have four choices... "No making noise." Number one! The Lewises have 32 Other answers: return speaker, stay in car, no littering.

Round 2: something a hospital patient doesn't like seeing a nurse holding (6). Shannon gets a catheter ready for #2, while Joe sticks with a syringe for #1. The rest of the family goes one, two, three on strikes, giving the Lewises another shot with a rectal thermometer... Not there, 85 to the champs! Other answers: bedpan, blood, results, enema.

Double Round: something you worry about even on vacation (full board). Shirley: "Leaving the water on"... Counts for #2, security. Alan gets #1, money. The rest of the champs get job, "her babies", pets, and.... forgetting something? The Lewises hope so... Not there! Pieruccis get 253! Other answer: bad weather.

Triple Round: someone you talk over your sex life with (4). Tiffany talks with her sister for #3, while Alfred talks with his wife for #2. Jo talks to his psychiatrist for #4. Best friend does it for the sweep and the win, 317-253.

Alfred and Shannon take on the Fast Money board for $575.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Maj. Scott Gardiner (Army lawyer from Tampa); $18,801
Lara Beaton (software tester from Vancouver, BC)
James Washick (professor from Greenville, SC)

It seems as if we're getting the results from the Vancouver audition for the last fortnight. But our American Army lawyer shows no fear as Scott starts with $200 SI's Signs of the Apocalypse. James leads at the break with $4600 to Lara's $1200 and Scott's $1600.

The Emmy-winning writing team channels Douglas Adams today with categories So 'Long'  and & Thanks for All the Fish. The latter features the Daily Double under $1000, a video. James risks $2000 on this: the name of the type of fish seen here also means "an elevated position". "What is cod?" Nope, perch. It's $4400 for him as Scott ends up with $2600. Lara, who gets the last clue, has $2800 and the first go in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Canals, finding the first Daily Double under $2000. She wagers the level on this: located at Sault Ste. Marie, the St. Marys Falls Canal connects these two Great Lakes. "What is Lake Superior and Lake Michigan?" She's half right. It's Superior and Huron, leaving her with a $4800 tie with Scott. She'll get a chance to make it up with $1200 Independence Days. She fronts $2000 again on this: this Asian island nation gained independence from the US in 1946 but celebrates its 1898 freedom from Spain on June 12. "What is the Philippines?" Right for $7600! She'll end up at $10,400 to Scott's $9200, but it's James' game.. almost... with $20,000 even.

Final Jeopardy! in "20th Century Books": Chapter 1 of this book tells us: "Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood". Correct question: What is "Angela's Ashes"?

Lara's right, as she bets it all. James will have to get it right and bet at least $400 to come back... He does. He comes back Monday with $20,801. Maj. Gardiner leaves with $19,801.
