Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Michael Falk (meteorologist from Milwaukee); $17,401

Suzan Reiner (church office manager orig. from Long Island, NY)

Rory Cowan (teacher from the LBC, Long Beach, CA)

Will Michael have the forecast for victory today? He starts this game off with $200 The Senior US Senator. He finds the Daily Double early under $800 "D"ude!. He bets his lead, $2000, on this: in 1966 this future NYC mayor became a state assemblyman from Harlem. "Who is Dinkins?" That would've given him $4400, but a blank stare drops him to $400.

After a visit to Malawi, Michael leads with $6200 against Suzan's $3200. Rory, with $1800, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 I'll Need Some "ID". Rory finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Beastly Lit. Behind by not much, he bets $3000 on this: 1961: a reptilian evening served up by Tennessee Williams. "What is 'The Night of the Iguana?'" Right on for $8400. Michael has a chance to pull ahead of the pack with $2000 Modern War Glossary, the second Daily Double. He fronts $1000 on the Greek for "fellow countryman." "What is Patriot?" Right for $10,800. He ends with $11,600 to Rory's $9600 and Suzan's $8000. Still a very close game.

Go to Jeopardy.com if you have a kid who wants to be on the show. Kids Week auditions will be underway soon.

Final Jeopardy! in "State Capitals": alphabetically, they're the first 2 state capitals named for presidents. Correct question: What are Jackson and Jefferson City?

"Drew a complete blank." That you did, Suzan. Michael will repeat as champ with $19,201, giving him a two-day take of $36,602.

Bel (bartender) & her little sister's best friend Nova (stay-at-home mom)

Poker buddies David (children's book author) & Jimmy (artist)

BONUS LINGO JACKPOT: $10,000

Yesterday, someone walked away with $11,000. And Shandi showed off her dog.. with her sweater on him. No dog and no $11,000 today. But we've got a game nonetheless.

Bel & Nova get an F for starts. They get FRIED for 25. David & Jimmy steal BENCH for 25 of their own, followed by GROPE and a Lingo, giving the Reds 100 to the Yellows' 25.

Bel & Nova TRUMP with 25, followed by HOLLY, PASTE, and double nickels for the Lingo for 150 to the guys' 100.

Bel & Nova follow THAT with a steal of ANGLE. We're at halftime with Bel & Nova up 175-100.

David & Jimmy start things off with a C. They turn that into CREAM... but David gets creamed by a stopper ball. Bel & Nova turn a saloon into SALON for 50 more. But Nova draws red. David & Jimmy get VIRUS for another 50. Bel & Nova steal FENCE for a game-winning Lingo, 375-200.

With three Bonus Lingo letters, Bel & Nova get EXTRA, SCOOP, CRANK, ALGAE, and DITTY for five balls and $500. Whoever gets ball #19 gets $10,000. Nova draws for her little girl... 63. Four more pulls... and it takes all of them for $5000! Happy birthday little girl!

Tomorrow, $11,000 is on the line.

Host: Bob Barker

Christina Garcia, Clayton Sheffrey, Natalie Rochin, and Alex Specht get the ball rolling with a home gym. It's $2260. It's Natalie's. It's the key to a 4-poster bed with sleep set... and a little cash. It's Check Game. Does Natalie know how to play? Apparently, because the $2700 plus the $2507 for the bed gives her $5207 and the win!

Christina wins a $1212 swing in round 2, as we roll out a Chevrolet Malibu and the Five Price Tags. she thinks $33 is false for a gumball machine... True. She thinks a stand mixer is not $120. It is. She goes false on a $50 candlestick phone and a $9 teapot clock. Both are false. That gives her two choice amongst these... $24,520, $21,865, $20,790, $22,275, and $23,980. She tries tag #2... No. She tries tag #4... No. Correct: #3, $20,790.

Clayton wins a $968 washer/dryer with a $5 bid. Now it's time for Buy or Sell. A motorscooter is marked at $2924. He sells it. A coffee machine is marked $999. He sells it. A court desk is marked $1713. He buys it. The scooter is... $2424! The coffee machine is... $1299. The court desk is... $1313. That leaves him $200 in the hole and the top winner in the Showdown thanks to a 85c spin, breaking a tie.

Vesta Elliott-Couville wins a $578 table tennis package in round 4. Now she gets a shot at a drum set with cymbals and a sofa. The 1 Right Price: $1605. She tags the sofa... Winner!

Michelle Mitchell is down and up thanks to a $1980 telescope. Can she parlay that into a Pontiac Vibe? The game is One Away, and the price is not $28,572. She goes with $17,483 first... One... two... three honks. She switches to $19,683. Actual price... $19,...481.Still had three right.

Taylor Megdal plays spoiler for Alex, winning a $598 pair of video iPods. Can he take those to Portugal? He can and will if he Picks-a-Pair of products that have the same price. The products... Duck masking tape, Glad Forceflex bags, Fiji bottled water, Windex cleaner, Brut lotion, and Cat Chow. He goes for the cleaner.. $3 even. Now the lotion... $6.99. He keeps the cleaner and takes the tape... $3! Winner! And he's also a winner in the Showdown.

Glitch the Robot starts up this Showcase, as she uses a dishwasher, gas range, and a sailboat for comedic effect. Top winner Natalie passes to Taylor, who bids $13,500. Natalie gets a dining room with dinnerware, a security system, and a snowmobile. She tags it at $9100. Actual price: $16,238. Difference: $7138. Actual price of Taylor's Showcase, robot not included... $32,624. Difference: a country mile. Natalie wins $23,645!

Oh, and Jonathan Walker didn't get on stage, but his retro suit and splitting trousers (woops) makes him a standout.. Literally.

Stats: even, $37,975.

Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White

ATTEN-HUT! You will read this recap of Wednesday's "Armed Forces Week"--and that's an order! (C-Note: Sir, yes sir!)

The $1,000 Tossup is PHRASE. Captain Kevin Hunter is from Shelton, CT. He is married. He solved SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT for $1,000. He is a 9 week old daughter. 1st Lieutenant Charri is from Florida. She is a section commander in the Air Force. She has 5 children. Sgt. Rashad McKinney is from Louisiana. He is an Army Supply Sgt. He has 7 kids.

The $2,000 Tossup is LIVING THING. Charri is on the board with $2,000 and WILD STALLION. It's a Trafalgar European tour of Munich, Prague, Budapest and Austria worth $6,500. The category is SLOGAN. Charri starts. She misses...over to Rashad. He hits the $10,000 wedge and picks it up. Next Spin, Lose A Turn...over to Kevin who hits Bankrupt...back to Charri. She misses...back to Rashad. He misses...back to Kevin. He hits and picks up the $1,000 SpaFinder Gift Tag. He solves EXPECT MORE PAY LESS for $950. And he missed $3,000 for the answer of TARGET. But he has $2,950 in cash and prizes.

The jackpot round is sponsored by Rice A Roni Mexican Express. The category is SONG TITLE. Rashad starts. He loses $2,100 on Bankrupt. Over to Kevin, who does the same. Over to Charri. She loses $1,800 on Bankrupt. Over to Rashad who hits the European Tour and picks it up. He hits Lose A Turn...over to Kevin. He hits Bankrupt...over to Charri. She solves THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER for $2,400. She has $4,400. Rashad has lost $16,500 with bad luck tonight.

The mystery round prize is $10,000. The category is THING...and a PRIZE PUZZLE. Kevin starts. He starts with a $3,500 R. He misses on the mystery wedge--over to Charri who hits Bankrupt. Over to Rashad. He loses $2,400 on Bankrupt. He has had terrrible luck tonight. Over to Kevin. He reads HAND-TOOLED LEATHER BELT for $6,400. And he can buy them on his trip to Mexico. It's a trip to Puerto Vallarta from Vallarta.com with airfare from Mexicana Airlines worth $4,200. And if you have the SPIN ID is CP03940...you are off to Puerto Vallarta...and if you have the SONY CARD--you have $50,00)! That round was worth $10,600...and he has $13,550 in cash and trip.

The $3,000 Tossup is PLACE. Charri misses, and Kevin solves SENIOR CENTER. He has $16,550. We go right into the FINAL SPIN...$1,300 a letter with ON THE MENU. And Charri solved BRAISED YANKEE POT ROAST for $7,800. She leaves with a 2nd place total of $12,200 in cash. Rashad had terrible luck on the wheel. We give him $1,000. But Kevin is going to Mexico with a nice total of $16,550 in cash!

Will Captain Kevin be rewarded with a nice bonus round win? He lands on the **** wedge. His category is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:

_ _ _ _
L _ N _ _ _ _ E

He chooses G B M I and we have:

B _ _ _
L _ N G _ _ G E

He had LINGERIE on the brain. (I would too. ) But if his wife was wearing lingerie there might be some nice BODY LANGUAGE. He lost the 2006 Jeep Commander, but leaves with a nice trip to Mexico and a total of $16,550.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

Last time, Kathy Dean (Indianapolis, IN) got to the $4,000 level without much trouble. And she's back for more...

Kathy is an art student who wasn't very good at acting. When cast in a play, "The Wizard of Oz," she was cast as Auntie Em. But when they noticed her lack of experience, they once had a rehearsal just for her! It paid off, though, and she did alright. Here's hoping she does better than alright here, as the game resumes...

[$8,000]
What TV series features a handsome physician whom the interns have nicknamed "Dr. McDreamy"?
A: Nip/Tuck
B: Grey's Anatomy
C: House
D: ER

Kathy goes to the audience for this one, and both polls are leaning towards B (51% of the studio audience; 44% of the AIM users). Kathy trusts them... and they're right! Another question later, and this pops up...

[$25,000]
Sugar magnate Henry Tate is the founder and namesake of a famous art gallery located in what city?
A: London
B: Boston
C: Sydney
D: Dublin

Kathy calls a friend from high school, Howard, and he says B, though he's only 60% sure. Kathy then uses the 50:50, leaving A and B. She goes with B... but it's A! Ouch. That sends her packing with $1,000.

Next up is Barb Curry (Escondido, CA). She went all out in preparing for this once she found out she was gonna be here. And by that, I mean she made sure she'd look good. Hope she found enough time to prepare her brain for this. Barb starts by knowing that the Spanish Armada, defeated in a historic 1588 battle, was a fleet of more than a hundred ships (it would seem cruel to send Salsa dancers into battle). A couple of questions later, and she faces this...

[$500]
In October 2005, what pro sport resumed action after its previous season was cancelled due to a labor dispute?
A: Basketball
B: Football
C: Hockey
D: Tennis

Barb doesn't know, so she asks the audience. Both polls show a landslide for C (90%; 73%), so Barb goes with it... and it's right! She then gets the $1,000, and after some more, she gets to this one...

[$8,000]
What popular U.S. tourist destination's exterior consists of 142 stainless-steel equilateral triangles?
A: Golden Gate Bridge
B: Washington Monument
C: Gateway Arch
D: Space Needle

The 50:50 leaves B and C. After saying that she thinks B is made of marble, Barb goes with C... and she's right! Moving on...

[$16,000]
Released on DVD in 2004, "THX 1138" is the little-known first film of what famous director?
A: Martin Scorsese
B: Stanley Kubrick
C: Steven Spielberg
D: George Lucas

Barb calls Pam, who says D, but when asked how sure she is, something inaudible is heard. Sounds like the reception on the phone wasn't too good. Anyway, Barb decides to go with D... and she's right! Now, to complete the upper tier...

[$25,000]
The Jewish celebration of Hanukkah takes its name from a Hebrew word meaning what?
A: Patience
B: Dedication
C: Hopefulness
D: Gratitude

Barb doesn't know, so she walks with $16,000. We then see that it was B.

Let's see how Michael Pristash (Minneapolis, MN) does. He's a high school social studies teacher, who teaches plenty of kids each day. Their message to him: Don't return without at least $8,000, and don't wimp out, either. At least they didn't set that bar at $250,000 or something... Michael starts by knowing that the natural phenomenon that is known for its tendency to swallow up large objects that fall into it is quicksand (insert reference to Joan Rivers' mouth here). He sweeps the lower tier, reaching $1,000.

That's all for today. Michael will be back tomorrow to try to make enough so he can face those kids again.
