Host: Richard Karn
Lewis (Danielle, Shannon, Shirley, Alfred, Jo); $1055
Kepner (Kady, Eytan, Sean, Tricia, Deanie)

Round 1: one fact about Bond... James Bond (6). Danielle gets a secret agent for #4, while Kady only gets #6 for his fast cars. Shannon gets #3, a ladies' man. Shirley gets 007 for number one! A handsome man who likes his martinis shaken, not stirred sweeps the board for 85.

Round 2: something you might walk out on (6). Shannon fires with #1, a bad movie. The champs follow with a relationship and a job. The Kepners try to steal with a limb. No! Lewises bump chests with 145. Other answers: argument/fight, bad party, diving board.

Double Round: a company everyone wishes they bought stock in (5). Sean Googles #2, but Shirley gets #1 in Microsoft. Starbucks also makes the board. The Kepners try to steal with Yahoo! Not there, the Lewises are up to 257. Other answers: AT&T, IBM.

Triple Round: something a boxer wears for protection (4). Alfred protest his... investment with a cup for #1. A mouthpiece, gloves, and... headgear? The Kepners hope so... To stay alive... Headgear... Up there for 276, meaning we go to...

Sudden Death: a holiday that honors the great American pastime of shopping. That's Deanie... "Christmas!" Got it for the game, 492-257.

Deanie and Eytan take on the Fast Money board for the first time. Deanie gets 68. Eytan gets the family to... 161 for $805.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Kate Miller (human resources assistant from Oxnard, CA); $9500
Patricia DiMaggio (school registrar from Maynard, MA)
Margaret Kickliter (catering assistant from Palm Harbor, FL)

One thing is certain, a woman will reign as champ tomorrow. But which one?

Kate starts with $200 It's All "Over, Baby (as opposed to "I Think I Love You", another category). Margaret finds the Daily Double way early under $400 Eggheads. She bets half of her $500. The clue: she went to the University of Denver at 15 & got a Ph.D. studying the USSR; she's now in the Cabinet. "Umm... Condoleezza Rice? Who is..." Said it like Yoda, but got the job done under the wire for $1500.

At the half, it's very close with Margaret at $4300, Patricia at $3800, and Kate at $3200. Looking at that, Kate will start off Double Jeopardy!...

... with a scoring change, giving her $2400 for leaving a G off of "Yao Ming" in the Jeopardy! round. Not as close anymore as Kate begins Double Jeopardy! with $400 Bartending. Margaret finds the first Daily Double under $2000 Before He Was President... She bets $900 on the former editor & owner of the Marion (Ohio) Star. "I don't know." Warren G. Harding drops Margaret to $5000. Kate gets $10,000 when she stumbles onto the second Daily Double under $2000 Really Long Words. She bets the level on this: antidisestablishmentarianism, as per the OED, is opposition to the disestablishment of this church. "What is the Catholic Church?" Nope, it's the Anglican Church, leaving Kate with $8000. Still a close game, though, the kind we love to see, with Margaret at $7000, Patricia at $8200, and Kate at $9200.

Final Jeopardy! in "20th Century Literature": "Annie" Sadilek, an immigrant girl from Bohemia, inspired the title character in this 1918 novel of the Great Plains. Correct question: What is "My Antonia"?

Both challengers get it. Kate also gets it, but is $301 short of the win. Good effort by her, but in this game, second only gets you another $2000. Patricia wins with $14,001. Kate leaves with $11,500.

 
The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Let's kick things off solid. 7800, release your tales.

Amy Suit, Christine Brown, Barbara Gray, and Vincent Cataldo take their places to bid on a Howard Miller 79th Anniversary floor clock. Barbara, our resident Canadian, picks up the $3285 beauty and takes her shot at buying a Chevy HHR for $1. Given the 1 and $7, her first two guesses (7, then 5) missed only by one each (8, then 4). Third guess, 5 again, missed by two (7). Needing to miss the last number by no more than two, she goes safe again with 5. Final number = 8. A tragic loss to kick off the hour.

Let the product plug flood gates open once again. Super Poligrip strips go with a handcraftedmodelships.com model of the USS Constitution. Christine picks up the $799 ship and strips and goes a-climbing for a trip to Scotland, valued at $6353. Her first prize, a food grater, she bid $35. Hans shifted a confident 6 steps (ARP: $29). On her next gift, an all-in-one breakfast maker, earns a bid of $55. Here goes Hans...past 10...past 15...PAST 20...STOPPED at 22 (ARP: $39). Her final prize; a dual cereal dispenser. The (suicide) bid: $15. Any student of Cliff Hangers knows the prices go UP as the prizes go along. Hans not only falls off the cliff, but his foot arrow gets hung up on the blue lip at the peak, so he slo-mo falls to his untimely demise. ARP on the dispenser: $40.

How do you follow that? How about with Citrucel Fibershake coupled with a set of Ivanko color coded dumbbells. Vincent captures the $699 weight set to be in charge of a Clearance Sale on his & her golf clubs, a JBL home theater sound system, and a Corsican cradle. His tags: $800, $1250, and $3000. Confidently (and checking with the Peanut Gallery), the $800 goes with the speakers, the $1250 on the clubs, and the $3000 for the cradle. The speakers: $1030. The clubs: $2585. The cradle: $3225. We have our first winner! However, it is Barbara who makes it to the Showcases with $1000 and a Bonus Spin that didn't make it by one space.

Contestant David Culven picked up a supply of Windex Multi-Task Sparkling Lime, along with a $999 Equator Appliances washer/dryer-in-one. He's a student at UC Santa Cruz, so he could use the Grand Game's purse of $10G's to pay for stuff. With the target price at $5.75, he flew thru his first picks (Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies @ $1.39; Renuzit Airlets @ $5.49; Glad Press 'n' Seal @ $2.99), he was left with VO5 Hot oil, Aspercreme Patches, and Mylanta Classic to choose from. He goes on and goes with the Mylanta. After a long building by Barker, the flip came...$6.08. Shoulda gone with the hot oil at $3.49.

Amy finally escapes the Row with a large size Space Bag to go along with her $1575 Flexsteel Cello sofa. She takes her place at the Card Game table for a Chevy Colorado 2WD extended cab. Drawing a difference of $2000, she builds a heck of a poker hand, pulling a 9 of spades, a Jack of hearts, a King of diamonds, and all 5's but the clubs, she takes her bid to $16,400. Actual retail price: $20,522 for a difference of $4122.

We have to have another win before the hour is out. Confused contestant Lilian Pizulo picks up a set of Dynastar ski and snowboard equipment worth $2834. Double Prices awaits her for a D.H. Baldwin upright piano. Is it $8000 or $6000? How painful can this setup look? Lilian goes for $6000 and WINS!! Unfortunately, she can't get off the 35 spot on the wheel, hitting it twice, unable to beat Amy's 75¢.

Barbara is today's Top Winner, and Amy is the Runner-Up. The first Showcase, the hurry-up Showcase, contained an Aico Tresor dining room with Noritake dinnerware and stemware and Michael C. Fina flatware, and a Yamaha SX Viper snowmobile. Barbara doesn't hesitate passing to Amy, who bids $13,500.

Showcase #2 stars Shane as Madame Conjure-up linking Aly to her lost prizes. Those prizes? A dishwasher, a Honda CRF 250X offroad bike, and a Hi-Lo telescoping travel trailer. Barbara's bid: $18,900.

Amy's Showcase came out to $20,502 for a difference of $7002. Barbara's Showcase: $28,690 for a difference of $9790. Amy walks away from this one winning $22,117.

STATS: 2/6; $44,533
 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
It's Tuesday and we want to salute the members of the "Wheel Watchers Club"! Let's find out what happened!
 
The $1,000 Tossup is LIVING THING. Laurie Brenner is from Las Vegas. She solved AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE for $1,000. She is retired. Gina Anderson is from Green Bay, WI. She is a kindergarten teacher. Eric Andersen is from Alabama. He works for the railroad.
 
The $2,000 Tossup is PLACE. Gina is on the board with PARKING STRUCTURE. She has $2,000. We add a trip to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood Florida worth $4,700 to the wheel. Gina starts this round which is ON THE MENU...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. She hits and picks up the Hard Rock trip. But after a lot of work, she hits Bankrupt and loses a combined 8,000 in cash and trip. Over to Eric who hits it as well...over to Laurie. She solves GOLDEN BROWN WAFFLE TOPPED WITH WHIPPED CREAM for $4,100. And if it's Tuesday...it must be BELGIUM! It's a trip to Brussels from lastminutetravel.com worth $4,000! And if you have the SPIN ID of MF06197...you are off to Brussels. Check your wallet...if you have the SONY Card...you have $50,000! That round was worth $8,100 and she has $9,100 in cash and trip.  
 
The jackpot round is sponsored by BrandSource. The category is SAME NAME. Eric starts. He misses...over to Laurie. She misses...over to Gina. She hits and picks up the Free Spin. She misses the solve and uses the Free Spin. She misses...over to Eric. He hits the $1,000/10,000 Wheel Watchers Club Points Gift Tag and solves FIRE & SEARCH ENGINE for $400. He has $1,400.
 
The mystery round prize is $10,000 courtesy of Radisson Resorts. The category is SLOGAN. Laurie starts. She hits a $1,000 Gift Tag from vegas.com. She hits the mystery wedge...will she risk $2,300? Nope. She solves YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT ANSWERS for $5,000. She says Midas...but it's RADIO SHACK. But she has $15,100 in cash and prizes (including a gift certificate to a city that she lives in and doesn't gamble in!) 
 
The $3,000 Tossup is PEOPLE. Eric is up to $4,400 with IMMEDIATE FAMILY. But we go right into the FINAL SPIN...$1,600 a letter tonight. It's a PHRASE. Eric has $4,800 with I'LL TAKE THAT AS A YES. He leaves with $9,200 in cash and a 2nd place total. Gina leaves with $2,000. But the nervous Laurie wins with $15,100 in cash and trip!
 
Laurie is going to Belgium. What can she win in the bonus round? She lands on the $ in $100,000. Her category is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:
 
_ _ _ N _
_ _ T _ _

She chooses DMCA and we have:
 
_ _ _ N _
D _ T C _
 
And if you are GOING DUTCH... you will win a Lexus IS250 Sports Sedan worth $33,954 just like she did! She leaves with $49,054 in cash and prizes! And this is the 2nd day in a row that we have a car...if you want it! Do you have the SPIN ID of DR00774? If so, you have the Lexus and if you have the SONY Card...$50,000 as well!
