Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Doug Hicton
orig. from Regina, SK
composer
$54,099, two days

Khoa Le
New York City
stock trader

Betsy Bangs
Fraser, MI
retired art teacher

Doug has been making sweet music in the last two games, but no matter what the outcome, Khoa will come out with a smile on his... podium.

Doug starts with $200 It Was a Very Good Year. At the TV time out, Khoa finds the Daily Double under $1000 Witchcraft. "Bet it all." The clue: title of a Broadway play & also a Jimmy Stewart film, these 3 items are part of a Catholic rite concerning witches. "What are... 'It's a Wonderful Life'... " Not without money, it isn't. The three were bell, book and candle. Doug still leads, $2400 to Betsy's $1400.

Khoa will rebound to $4000 against Doug's $6400. Betsy, with $3200, will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 The Late President Ford, where Doug finds the first Daily Double under $1600. Doug is coming alive again with a $4500 bet on this: the investigative body to which Ford was appointed on November 29, 1963. "What is the Warren Commission?" Right for $16,100! Betsy finds the other one under $2000 Opera in Other Words. Betsy bets $3000 on "Masculine Singular Ablative in Latin for Faithful or True" "What is 'Fidelio'?" Correct for $12,600! Doug ends the round in the lead with $22,500 against Betsy's $15,400 and Khoa's $6400.

Final Jeopardy! in "Art History": Carel Fabritius, whose self-portrait is seen here, is considered this man's greatest pupil. Correct question: who is Rembrandt?

All three are right, giving the game once again to Doug with $30,801. And it'd be hard to contain your excitement with $84,900.

Antonio wins $17,500 on pocket kings, cutting Jen's chip lead to all of two hands. His luck continues deep within tonight's action with a pure-bred (K-9?) to Hellmuth's Ajax (A?J?). Flop: A-Q-2, two spades. Nut flush draw for Antonio, Aces for Hellmuth. Turn: 10?. Antonio makes his flush, and Hellmuth is drawing dead. That doesn't stop him from betting, though.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS
Host: Bob Barker
It's been a good week... so far. Danielle Henry, Frank Pipia Jr., Karen Jaggers, and Sharon Telford hope to continue that winning tip with a game room. It's worth $950, and it goes to Danielle. Next, a grandfather clock to go with it. Is she Coming ($3685) or Going ($5863)? She's Going... and she wins!

Frank gets a $750 carousel horse and a shot at 10 Gs on the Punchboard. With punches from a $39 breakfast maker, a $60 retro phone, a $30 travel mug, and a $30 laser ball, he ends up with $100 twice... gives both back, gets $50, gives THAT back, and ends up with $250.

Sharon scores with a $1399 LCD TV/DVD. But can she win a flashlight, a pair of electric guitars, and a Dodge Dakota? The game is 10 Chances. She uses four on the $20 flashlight... and the rest on the guitars, which were $620. She didn't know the secret rule. That's what ends up costing her. But she has a chance to make up for it in the Showcase, winning at the Big Wheel.

Becky Lawler gets to Pick-a-Pair after winning an $898 pair of bikes. The first picks: Cat Chow worth $3.99. Next, Selsun shampoo... $6.99. Becky goes with the shampoo, and goes with the Airborne supplement... $5.99.

Karen gets out of the Row with a $2795 bubble chair. Can she win a Jeep Wrangler? One Away is the game; $28,584 is NOT the price. She tries $19,675... one... two... three.. four... FIVE HONKS!

Jodi Kendall wins a $1549 gas grill. She also gets a chance at a treadmill and dinnerware. The 1 Right Price: $1999. She goes with the dinnerware... $2733. Ouch.

Becky wins $1000 in the Showdown and top winner status in the Showcase. First up, how to tell when you're underdressed relating to a trash compactor, a trip to New York City, and a Pontiac Vibe. Becky bids $16,500. Next, Rachel takes a peek in her boyfriend's diary (C-Note: in reality, she's happily married). She sees a diamond ring, a trip to Rome, and a sailboat. Sharon tags it at $26,200. Actual price: $30,186, a difference of $3986. Actual price of Becky's Showcase... $23,716, a difference of $7216. Sharon makes up for her 10 Chances gaffe winning $31,605.

Stats: 2-4, $65,404.
