Host: Richard Karn

Sladek (Bob, Lishar, Jim, Eillene, Joan)

Kepner (Kady, Eitan, Sean, Tricia, Deanie); $1770

Round 1: a kind of place where it's acceptable to scream (6). Kady gets #4, the movies, while Bob follows with number one, an amusement park. The rest of the challengers follow up with a ballgame and a concert. The Kepners try to steal it with a surprise party... Not there! The Sladeks get 77! Other answers: home, doctor/delivery room.

Round 2: 100 men, something women are always changing (5). Eitan's woman changes clothes for number two, while Lishar learns the hard way one of the cardinal rules of game shows.. We have to take your first answer. She says makeup... then hair.. Makeup's not there. Sean gets #3, her attitude. Deanie changes her mind for #2. Kady tries hair again... Number one! The Sladeks try to steal with a boyfriend... Not there, the Kepners get 97! Other answer: nail polish.

Double Round: someone famous for helping the poor (full board). Jim fires with Mother Teresa... number one! They go one, two, three strikes, and we go to the Kepners. They go with Princess Diana... Got it for 167! Other answers: Oprah Winfrey, Jimmy Carter, Angelina Jolie, Bill Gates.

Triple Round: something women can do for hours on end (4). Tricia snipes shopping for #2. Deanie gets the number one with the phone talking. The Sladeks have one more shot with sunbathe. Not there! The Kepners win, 377-77. Other answers: watch TV, read (said!).

Can the Kepners do it in Fast Money this time? Kady and Sean try this time.... and it finally happens when Sean gets the number one for the hour a 16-year-old should be home from a date (11p) to win $20,000, giving them three days' total of $21,770.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Mary LoSardo (retired executive, now website designer from Bayonne, NJ); $20,800

Jessica Liese (contract coordinator orig. from Havre, MT)

Ed Angleton (biochemist from Indianapolis)

The returning challenger from 35 years ago returns to defend her championship. She starts with $200 American Quotes. At the TV time out, Mary starts out the way she started out last game... rather slowly. She still has zero. Jessica has $2600, while Ed has $3200.

Last clue in the round, $1000 Go with the Flow, goes to Ed, who scores the Daily Double. In the lead by quite a margin ($7200 to Jessica's $4400 and Mary's $600), just bets level on this: the Tigris flows into this gulf. "What is the Persian Gulf?" Ed will start Double Jeopardy! in the lead at $8200, while Mary will just plain start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Catholic Terms. Ed finds the first Daily Double under $1200 No Place Like Ancient Rome. He bets $2000 here: from the Latin for "offspring", they were the lowest class of Ancient Roman citizens. "Who are the Plebeians?" Nope, they were the proletariat, bringing them down to $8600. He also snatches up the second Daily Double under $1200 Finland. He risks $2000 again on this clue given by Cheryl: "I'm in Helsinki buying a CD of this cultural icon who got a life pension from the Finnish Senate in 1897, and lived until 1957. "Who is Mannheim?" Nope again, it's Sibelius, leaving him with $10,600.

And Mary, who spent all game trying to get a rhythm going, will not repeat as champion, as she ends up $1400 in the red. She leaves with $21,800, while Jessica's $8000 faces Ed's $12,600 in...

Final Jeopardy! in "British Monarchs": the last British king not named George, William, or Edward, was named this. Correct question: What is James (II)?

Neither get it right. In Jessica's case, it cost her everything but a dollar. In Ed's case, only $3401, leaving him with $9199 and the championship.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker

Another Thursday in game show paradise, which Aletheia Morrison, Matthew Ross, Laura Grier, and Prentice Park get to experience first hand, as they bid on a game room package. Aletheia's only off $101 from the $1000 package, giving her the first game and a first crack at a hostess set, an HDTV, and a Rascal scooter. Winning these should be Easy as 1-2-3. She takes the blocks and goes 1-2-3. The hostess set... $1023. The HDTV... $2495. The scooter... $3198! Winner winner!

Laura takes a $599 chandelier, as she gets a chance to win $10,000 playing 1/2 Off! Sixteen boxes, but unfortunately, only ONE has any money. Which one? Time to find out. First group: a 2-slice toaster marked $40, and a food dehydrator marked $39. She goes to the dehydrator... It's $39. No help there. How about this $58 voice recorder and this $39 CD/clock radio? She goes with the radio... And it's $78! Finally, a laser ball marked $15 and a DVD copy of Fargo worth $25. She picks out the baseball.. And it's $30! So we have four boxes, 2, 7, 9, and 14. She chooses 9... one... two... three... empty. The big bucks were in #14.

Say "I forever do" with a three-stone pendant. It's worth $1995, and it goes to Anna Mae Becker. The big fan of the world-champion Pittsburgh Steelers takes on the challenge of Pocket Change for a Chevy Equinox. First number is... 2. The price... $23,178. The number of mistakes: five. The end result, Anna needs $1.50 to win the car. She has a quarter... a dime... NOTHING... another quarter... and 50 cents for $1.10. Unfortunately, it gets her nothing.

At the Wheel, Anna has a hard time with the spinning, and it's still not enough, as Aletheia wins $1000 and a spot in the Showcase.

Who'll join her? Christina Burke wins a $749 area rug. The UCSB student takes her game to Barker's Bargain Bar, where she can win a sofa marked at $945 and a lawn mower marked $1050. She goes with the sofa, hoping it's the bigger markdown. Is it? The lawn mower is worth $1450. The sofa is... $1545! $600 beats $400, and that's a win!

Erin Leonardi wins a recumbent bike worht $1999 in round 5, as she gets a cahnce to shoot four oversized red dice for a Pontiac G6. The first number: 2. Erin shoots 6 next... Not right, but lower. Erin shoots 5 next... Not right, but lower. Erin shoots 3.. Right! Erin shoots 2 finally... Not right, but higher. This is another example of doing everything right and still catching a bad break. Actual retail price... $21,635. Darn.

Last chance for Matthew and Prentice. The prize: a luggage set. The price: $1050. The winner:... Matthew! He gets to Pick-a-Pair for a $2692 trip to DC. The products: Aspercreme patch, Carapelli olive oil, Viactiv calcium chews, Renuzit Airlets, Tums Smoothies, and Tresemme shampoo. He picks the Tums... $3.99. He picks the shampoo... $3.99! Winner! But it's as good as he'll get, because Erin takes the runner-up spot in the Showcase.

First up, signs that you may not be moving up in the world involving a range, a trip to the Bahamas, and a sailboat. Top winner Aletheia passes to Erin, who bids $28,500. Aletheia gets to see Little Known Outlaws push a gas grill, a pool table, and a Ford Five Hundred. Her bid: $22,000. Her price: $27,858. Her difference: $5858. Actual price of Erin's Showcase: $41,699, off by way out. Aletheia wins this one and $36,574 in cash and prizes.

Stats: even, $48,871
