Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Baldwin (Chara, Chandra, Michelle, Melanie, Suzan); $615
Thomas (Sandi, Michelle, Bill, Janice, Tony)

Round 1: your favorite thing to do at parties (5). Chara drinks for #3, but Sandi dances for #1. Rest of the team follows with eat and mingle, but the Baldwins try to snipe the board with "play games"... No! Thomases get 92. Other answer: sing/karaoke (said!).

Round 2: an item that people bring to a pawn shop (7). Chandra fires with a ring... and other jewelry is number one! The champs can only come up with a musical instrument and a TV. Thomases go with "tool time tools..." To which Richard replies, "How can you be so cruel?" And it's a one-point feud with the Baldwins at 91. Other answers: camera, DVD, radio, china/dishes.

Double Round: a phrase that starts with "two for" (full board). Bill tries "two, four, six..." We throw in the "eight, who do we appreciate?" for #4. "Two for the price of one" is good for number two and Michelle B. No more answers for the champs, but how about the challengers? "Two for the money" is their choice.. We remember that.. It's number one! Other answers: two for the road, two for tea, two for a dollar. The Thomases has 166. 

Triple Round: on which holiday are the most collect calls made (4)? Janice gets #1, Christmas. Mothers' Day is number two. Fathers' Day is number three. One last chance for the Baldwins... They go with "Thanksgiving"... Got it for the game, 361-166.

Chara and Suzan couldn't do it on Friday, but can Chandra and Melanie do it today? Chandra only get 67. Today, it's 138 for $690, giving them a two-days' total of $1305.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Ed Angleton (biochemist from Indianapolis); $25,599, two days
Trisha Murai (teacher orig. from San Bruno, CA)
Nemanja Dundjerovic (electrical engineer from Ottawa)

Those are two words you don't usually see in a Jeopardy! listing nowadays... "Two days". Can Ed make it three?  He starts this week in play off with $200 Onomatopoeia. At the TV time out, Ed leads with $2800 to Trisha's $1000 and Neranja's $200.

Going On the Equator, Nemanja finds the Daily Double under $600 and wagers all of his $1000 on this: both countries in Africa with this river in their named are on the Equator. "What is the Congo?" THAT... would've been the doubler, instead, "Niger" sends him to nothingness. We hear the buzzes as Ed leads with $5800 to Trisha's $1200. Nemanja, $800 in the red, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Fake Rock Bands & Singers. First Daily Double under $2000 Your Ear, Nose, & Throat, Man, goes to Nemanja. He has a chance... but doesn't take it, opting for a $1500 bet on the organ that opens when you yawn, swallow, or blow your nose. "What is the Eustachian tube?" Right on for $6300. Trisha finds the other Daily Double under $1600 Presidents & First Ladies. She fronts $2000 on this: in 1848, this former President from New York ran for office again, this time on the Free-Soil ticket. "Um, who is Taft?" Nope, it was van Buren, leaving her with $2000. It's a horse-race between Ed's $10,200 and Nemanja's $10,300. Both are brilliant players, so this may come down to the wager. Or Trisha, still in it with $3200, may play spoiler.

Just a reminder that if you're on the Eastern Time Zone and want to get into the game, it's your big chance. Go to Jeopardy.com before 8p ET Tuesday night and sign up for the online test. One click here... could put you THERE.

Final Jeopardy! in "Military History": in 2005 a single sapling was planted at an Army barracks in Australia to mark the 90th anniversary of this battle. Correct question: What is Gallipoli?

Ed's misplaced "O" opens the floodgates for Nemanja, who wins with $20,500. Ed leaves with $26,599.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Today's show starts with Stacy Greenberg, James Ramos, Rupa Shukla, Delores Wilson, and an exercise bike worth $2499. It goes to... Stacy, who gets a chance at a guitar and a dinette playing the Clock Game. She gets the $749 guitar in eight seconds and the $833 dinette in 12 for the prizes and the $1000 wad.

Enter Sonia Flores, who wins an $813 area rug in round 2. We roll out a Ford Five Hundred and a bit of Temptation. First number: 2. First gift: a $300 set of luggage. Sonia chooses the 3. Next gift: a $929 chair. Sonia goes with the 9. Next gift: a $2999 plasma HDTV. Sonia takes the 2. Finally, a $550 bar set. She goes with the 5. With no changes and risking $4778 in prizes, she decides to go for the car. The actual retail price... $23,92...0.

Rupa gets $630 pool lounge floaties in round 3, as she gets a chance to take away a trip to Ireland playing Flip Flop. The price is not $5447. Will she flip ($4547), flop ($5474), or flip flop ($4574). She flip flops... And she just should've flopped. She also flops at the Wheel, as does Sonia, because both go over, giving Stacy the win and the ticket to the Showcase.

First in the second half is Delores, who scores a grill in round 4 worth $1119. She gets a chance at a living room group playing Bullseye. The products: Alberto V05 shampoo, Chips Ahoy, Fiji water, Uncle Ben's instant brown rice, and Smucker's blackberry jam. She goes for four jams first... $3.35 a pop, gives her $13.40. Way over. She tries the shampoo, two of those. That gives her a mark at $7.17. Finally, she tries the cookies, eleven of those. At 55c a pack, it adds up to $6.05. So, two chances for the hidden bullseye now... Shampoo? Nope. Cookies? Nope. It was under the water.

Chelsea Pagan picks up a cotton candy cart, as she gets a chance at rollerblades, a fireplace, and a Ford Focus! The game is Master Key. She wins a key from a cheese grater. Grater: $29. The key she won from that... worthless.

Isaiah plays spoiler to James, winning a pair of his & hers watches worth $1100 in round 6. He steps up to Squeeze Play for a bed with sleep set. The setup: 4 1 4 1 2. Isaiah pulls out the first 1... and he should've pulled out the 4, as the price was $4112. But the bad tidings wouldn't has long, as he makes his way to the Showcase!

First up: a trip to the Beverly Hills Carnival, where we find a sapphire/diamond ring, a wine refrigerator, and a sailboat. Top winner Stacy passes to Isaiah, who bids $21,450. Stacy meanwhile gets a salute to March with "March of the Penguins" on DVD (and a DVD player to play it on), a laptop computer, and a cruise of the Mediterranean! Stacy bids $15,000. Actual price: $21,323. Difference: $6323. The actual price of Isaiah's Showcase... $19,534. Over he goes, as Stacy wins it with $26,404 in cash and prizes.

Stats: 1-5, $31,579.
