Round 1: a public place where you can cry without being embarrassed (6). Kady gets the bathroom for #2, while Chara's church is number one. But the Baldwins pass the question. The Kepners get funeral and movie, while the Baldwins try to steal with a concert... Not there! The Kepners get 77. Other answers: park, hospital.

Round 2: something Donald Trump has that's big (7). Eitan prematurely fires with Trump Tower... number four. Chandra goes two better with hotels. Suzan gets the top answer with bank account. The Kepners go to steal with "businesses" over "hair"... Not there! We have an 8-point Feud with the Baldwins at 69. Other answer: hair (said!), house, ego, yacht.

Double Round: a famous Johnson (5). Sean goes with Magic at #2, when the champs pass it. Melanie gets #4, Howard. Suzan says "Johnson & Johnson" for #3. The Kepners try to steal with Lyndon B. Johnson... Number one! The Kepners have 157. Other answer: Don Johnson.

Triple Round: something that's described as "running" (4). Melanie gets a jogger, #2, while Tricia runs the water for number one. A nose and... a car? The Baldwins hope so.. They win, 327-157!.

Chara and Suzan try to do it in the Fast Money round...Suzan gets 62. Chara gets... only up to 123 for $615.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Ed Angleton (biochemist from Indianapolis); $9199
Lars Jacobsen (teacher from Burlington, VT)
Louise Hauser (food pantry supervisor orig. from Brooklyn, NY)

Ed continues to do biochemists proud after winning almost $10K on the last show. Can he do better? But first, a coincidence... Lars and Louise attended the same high school... about 15 years apart.

Ed starts with $200 Quotable Cinema, as Lars runs the category en route to a lead at $4200 going into the TV timeout. Louise has $2600, while Ed only has a grand.

The last clue, $1000 Insects, belongs to Ed for the second time this week. At second with $4600 to Lars' $6400 and Louise's $2800, he only bets $1000 on this: a mosquito at this life stage is called a wriggler. "What is a larva?" Takes him up to $5600, and takes us to break, after which Louise will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Word Origins, finding the first Daily Double under $1200. Ed retakes the lead as she bets level on this: it's no Greek myth: this big South American bird was probably named for the wife of Cronus. "What is a quetzal?" No, it was a rhea, leaving her with $5600. Last category in play is Literature, and that's where Lars finds the second Daily Double under $1600. Lars wagers $6000. The clue: after Christian's death in an 1897 drama, this title character still acts as a platonic friend to the widow. "Who is... nothing." It was Roxanne, leaving Lars with $3600 to Louise's $4800. It's Ed's game to lose with $13,200.

Final Jeopardy! in "Historic Names": when Alexander Hamilton & James Monroe nearly met in a duel, this man interceded & defused the situation. Correct question: Who is Aaron Burr?

Ed wins this one easy with $16,400, giving him a two-day total of $25,599.

 
The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Bryan Breeze, Casey Killeroo, Louise Hart, and Meghan Pipper line up for an attempt at a Comfort Spa-in-a-box. Casey, the soon-to-be bride from Spokane, Washington, picks up the $1499 beauty and takes to the Turntable for either Oneida San Andrea serveware or a Ford Focus ZXWSE in Any Number. She came precariously close to winning the serveware, lighting up the 3 and 6, until making a run at winning the $18,495 car. The little piggy had at least $7 in it; the serveware and bank were left unrevealed.

T-MAC NOTE: As Barker commented, "It runs in the family." 20 years ago, Casey's mother was a contestant and also won a car.

Next, UCLA Bruin Nicole Parmer picked up a Palecek Tahoe lounge chair (complete with Thera-Gesic), valued at $1816. She takes to the stage for $16G's in It's In The Bag. The stuff: Bayer Low Dose Aspirin, Phillips' MOM, Tums Smoothies, Clorox Bath Wand, Goldfish crackers, St. Ives Body Scrub. The bags: 89¢, $2.99, $3.99, $11.97, $9.99. Wasting no time, she loads the bags with crackers, body wash, antacid, bath wand, and remedy in that order. Bailing out at the $2000 bag, she could have had $4000, but no more.

Meghan is the next to escape the Row with a set of 6 Igloo coolers (and a large Space Bag) worth $605. Meghan becomes just the next in line to play Balance Game, this time for a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. Leaving a $3000 bag on the stand, she places a $1000 and $5000 bag with Bob's $495 bag to make $6495. Lanisha's bag on the right...wait...wait...BALANCES!! Lucky Meghan even makes it thru to the Showcases with 95¢

Our senior friend, Louise is the next of the First Four to come up after winning a Hatteras Roman Arc hammock, valued at $811. She takes her shot at a Pintech electronic drum kit, a Heritage safe, and a Jaclyn Smith/Largo dinette set in Most Expensive. Picking the safe, she hit the "land mine" with the drum set at $3060. The safe was only $2097, while the dinette was $1495.

The big guy of the day, Robert Cache, takes his place on the Turntable, after winning a $669 Elk Retro-politan lighting group, to play for a Chrysler PT Cruiser in Money Game. The board:

95 44 18
17 70 16
80 29 55
$ - - 5 - -

Knocking off the 18 and 17 first, racking up $35, he took his time taking 16 for the front of the car, then immediately picked 29 for the back, winning the $16,529 Cruiser.

Brian, last of the First Four, finally escapes the Row with a Dell XPS laptop at $1188. Take Two is his game for a Worx Revolver power tool kit, a Corsican brass daybed (with Loving Care Formfit), a Haziza acrylic sculpture, and a 32" Sony flat screen TV. Total to reach: $3538. First Brian picked the daybed and power tools. Bob quickly snapped the daybed price shut again, after opening it prematurely. Daybed @ $2539 and tools @ $486 totals $3025. After some debating with the Peanut Gallery, he decided to pick the other two. Sculpture @ $2250 and TV @ $999 totals $3249. Should have gone with the TV and KEPT the daybed. However, he makes up for it with 80¢ and a spot as the Runner-Up in the Showcase.

Showcase #1 stars Lanisha as the conductor of the "Price is Right" Orchestra. Her personal metronome: a Ridgeway Fairfax grandfather clock. A GE washer and dryer will add more bravado, and her new horn player, a Dodge Ram 1500 ST 4x2. Meghan hesitates not in bidding $23,010.

Brian's Showcase features a complete home workout center: a Fitnexx exercise bike, a Tuff Stuff home gym system, and a Horizon Fitness treadmill. To show off his new look, a trip to Fiji. Brian's bid: $26,000.

Meghan's ARP: $28,173 for a difference of $5163. Brian's bid garnered a groan. Were they right? ARP: $14,853 and over he goes. Meghan's total for the day: $35,313.

STATS: 3-2-1; $78,315
