Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Doc Hamilton (advanced customer care agent from Nashville); $14,401
Chrissy Hoffman (non-profit director from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL)
Craig Mobley (switchboard manager from Albuquerque, NM)

We used this header before, but... Chrissy, Craig... the Doc will see you now.

Ben starts his third game with $200 Gluttony in a round of categories based on the seven deadly sins. Craig proves to be quite deadly indeed with $5400 at the time out to Chrissy's $200. Doc is $600 in the red.

Doc finds the Daily Double under $800 NV. He bets the max of $1000 on this: this current leader in the Senate became the youngest Lt. Governor in Nevada history at the age of 30. "Who is I have no idea?" Harry Reid drops Doc further down to -$1600. He rebounds to -$600 and a tie with Chrissy. Craig is the aggressor with $8400. Closest to Alex gets first start in Double Jeopardy!... That's Doc with the honor...

... with $400 A Litter of Alliteration. Chrissy finds the first Daily Double under $1600. With only $600, she bets the max of $2000 on this: from a poem by Robert Browning, it now has come to mean anyone who makes irresponsible promises. "I'm sure I'll know it when I hear it." It was the Pied Piper, as Chrissy drops to -$1400. Craig finds the other one under $1200 Altar Ego. He bets $2400 on this: the first 10 important leaders of the Sikh faith were known by this title meaning "teacher". "What is imam?" It was guru, leaving Craig still in the lead with $10,000. That's where he'll end, as Chrissy has $4600 to Doc's $4200. Looks like a battle for second as we come to...

Final Jeopardy! in "Famous Photographs": Alberto Korda, Castro's official photographer, is best known for an image of this man seen on countless shirts & posters. Correct question: Who is Che Guevara?

It's all about Craig, who wins it with $10,000. Doc leaves with $16,401.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
It's the end of March, and Teresa Whitener, Blake Browder, Judith Gerding, and Rosa Velazquez look to score a dual trike to start our day off right. It costs $1299, and it goes to Judith, as does a Credit Card for which to shop for ladies' golf equipment, a fireplace, cordless telephones, a floor clock, and serveware. Her credit limit: $1800. She goes with the phones first at $445. Then the golf pack at $720. With $635 left, she goes with the fireplace... and over she goes with $1300. Should've gone with the serveware.

Mary Ellen Cole is down and up in round 2 thanks to a $999 home theatre sound system. She gets to shoot the dice for a Chevrolet Cobalt. First number: 1. She shoots: 5, 3, 4, 3.  She goes lower, exacta, lower, and higher. Second number... 4. Fourth number: 5. Darn. She loses out on the $14,354.

Katy Daniel is down and up in round 3 thanks to a $517 chandelier. The softballer from Illinois College now gets a shot at a trip to Rio playing Cliff Hangers. She thinks a scrub mop is $15. Actual price: $12. That's three. She thinks a hot drink maker is $25. It's $38, putting Hans in jeopardy with nine steps to go until the top. Final prize: a jewelry box. She goes with $40... and it's $50. Medic! While Hans treats his wounds, Katy treats herself to a spot in the Showcase, winning the Showdown round.

Rosa finally breaks the skid with an $830 Pilates machine. She gets a shot at a dining room group with dinnerware. The game is Now or Then. Now: Today. Then: August 1998. Products: Nature Valley granola bars, Westbrae Natural organic beans, Viactiv chews, Altoids, Mylanta classic, and Colgate toothpaste. She starts with the toothpaste, marked $2.39. She says then, and she's right! Then it's onto the granola bars at $3.29. That's now, according to Rosa, and she's right again. She goes with the beans at 99c. She goes then... and it's now. Last up, the Mylanta at $6.29. She goes now... and wins!

Blake also gets his jollies on stage thanks to a $1568 washer/dryer. He gets a shot to Line Up an electric guitar ($849), a voice recorder ($58), and a wine server cart ($826). For what? How about a Chevrolet HHR? He lines up $18,568. Two right. Then, it's $19,568. Not it. It was $18,528.

Last chance for Teresa comes with a pair of ski equipment. Price: $2595. Winner... Matt Dudik, one of Bob's Best Buds. His prize: a sauna. His game: Double PRices. His choice: between $6990 or $5245. He goes with $5245... and he's got a sauna! He also has a spot in the Showcase opposite Katy.

First up, a visit from Monica the Meddler with a brass bed with sleep set, an Apple Mac, and a Pontiac Grand Prix. Top winner Matt passes to Katy, who bids $23,000. Matt meanwhile goes to the First Bank of Price to take away a coffee/espresso machine, an LCD TV, and two waverunners. He bids $7000. Actual price: $19,897. Difference, almost $13,000. Actual price of Katy's Showcase: $31,630. She wins with $32,647.

Stats: 2-4, $49,073.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
One more trip to a World Class Spa this week on Wheel of Fortune. First tossup: On the Map. Scientist Scott Myrand of Hamburg, MI gets GENEVA SWITZERLAND for $1000, beating out mom Charlene Johnson of Las Vegas and business owner Melinda Chagnon of Chula Vista, CA.

Second tossup is an Event. Melinda gets what tomorrow is, APRIL FOOL'S DAY for $2000. She'll spin for a $6600 Taos, NM vacation first. First up, a Phrase. Melinda owns the wheel, getting a $1000 GC from Bowflex and $5300 cash from IT'S NOT POLITE TO STARE. So far, she's got $8300.

Meineke Jackpot Round is On the Menu... and a Prize Puzzle! Scott spins out bankrupt. Charlene misses. And Melinda has the Wheel again. And she misses. Scott solves BANANA MACADAMIA PANCAKES for $1300. Those'll make a great breakfast in Hawaii! It's worth $6500! And you're joining him if you have Spin ID PF01180. Scott has the lead with $8806.

$10,000 on offer in the Mystery Round. The category: Same Name. And immediately, Charlene ends up in Mystery Territory with two N's. Charlene will not risk the $2000... good move, it was a bankrupt. She also gets the Taos trip wedge in her run, but it all goes away with a Bankrupt spin. Melinda solves WITNESS PROTECTION & GET WITH THE PROGRAM for $1400. She retakes the lead with $9700.

Third tossup is Around the House. Scott gets $3000 from OSCILLATING FAN. He gets to start the next round, a thing. Scott spins out $15,000 from three T's at $5000 a pop. But alas, he loses the wheel, and gets it back... solving CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION for $16,600, $28,406 so far...

Let's get another puzzle up here... it's a Person. After some regular play, we go to a speed round with $1350 for each consonant. Scott wins by solving AMATEUR ASTRONOMER with $31,806. Melinda has $9700. Charlene gets the house minimum of $1000.

Can Scott take Bonus Land for $100,000 tonight? After taking the wrong card (and subsequently getting the right one), he's given the standard package and the option for four more with a Thing to work from. He picks CKM A and gets...

_ _ _ N _
L _ _ E

No love. Or in this case, YOUNG LOVE. He loses out on the Infiniti G35. But still, $31,806 is not hay.

Next week, we salute the Armed Forces.
