I've Got a Secret by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11:30p ET/10:30p CT on GSN
Host: Bil Dwyer

First player on the program tonight is Henry from Los Angeles, who's literally a few blocks away. His secret: "I'm a lizard trainer." Jermaine starts... "are they mammals these animals?" "No." But they do crawl and have four legs. Suzanne nails reptilians. Frank... empty. Billy? "Do you train the lizard?" That's game for the panel. He trains them to sit in human-like positions. And it turns out that Henry was listed sans surname because the surname (legally) is a dead giveaway. He's Henry Lizardlover. Legally. Henry demonstrates his secret with the help of a hammock and Lana Love, Prince Charming & Selma.

Game #2, players #2. Phil & Jena Malm from Moscow, ID! Their secret... has something to do with their wedding. This is "blindfolds on", because the other part of their secret has just entered the stage. The secret doesn't involve their outfits. In fact, Frank is now banned from using the word "attire". There is nothing significant about their wedding date. This was a traditional wedding ceremony.

Their secret? "We're identical twins married to identical twins." With that, we meet Doug & Jill Malm. They met at the Twins Festival at Twinsburg, OH. And they all live in the same house. They stumped our panel, meaning they get dinner for four and $1000.

Finally, from Midland, TX, we have Spanish teacher Mike Lloyd! His secret: "I can kick myself in the head 42 times in one minute." Frank gets something done really fast and on television. But it's not sports-like. Billy gets that it isn't dangerous. Jermaine gets that he does this with his legs and his head. Suzanne gets kicking... So close!

And Jermaine knew it. But can Mike kick himself in the head 43 times in one minute, thus breaking his own record? YES! With 14 ticks left to spare, no less!

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Bob Mesko (arts administrator from Denver); $48,998; four days

Luis Sandoval (production scheduler from Los Angeles)

Melissa Garber (copy editor from Orlando)

The returning challenger became a champion again yesterday, but how long can he keep it up?

Bob starts up with $200 Thou Canst Biblically Quote Me, finding the Daily Double under $800. He fronts $1200 on this: "take me up, and case me forth into the sea." "Who is Jonah?" Right for $4400! He parlays that into a lead of $7000 over Melissa's $3800 at the half. Luis, still at $200, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Order in the Courtroom TV. Luis has -$200 going into the first Daily Double under $1600 Another Attempt at Alliteration. He bets the max of $2000 on this: perky "prankster", counterculture commentator, "Nest" novelist. "Who is Ken Kesey?" Right for $1800! He also finds the second under $800 The Nearest National Capital to... He bets $1200 on this: the Hollywood sign. "What is Mexico City?" Right for $3400. He ends regulation at $3000 to Melissa' $9800, but Bob's in the lead with $19,000. Not a runaway, but damn near close.

Final Jeopardy! in "American Politicians": in 2005 he took his first submarine dive since he left the Navy in 1953, on a new nuclear vessel that's named for him. Correct question: Who is Jimmy Carter?

Luis gets it right, but bets nothing. Bob also gets it right to win the game with $19,601, and $68,599 for five days. And he'll play again tomorrow.

Shem & Tarita get a C, but Jason & Charles turn it into CHORE. They follow with BLUNT (C-Note: Like his CD, by the way), PEACH, and the Lingo for the lead, 225-25.

Shem & Tarita get another letter, an M, but Jason & Charles steal it with MESSY for 250-25 going into the half. The stopper... unimportant at this phase.

Shem & Tarita finally turn N into NORTH for 50, then follow with a red stopper. Jason & Charles get SHEEP, but Charles draws red again. They get the draw back with DEMON. The ? ball gets the Lingo for 450-75.

The ladies get a B, but the guy get BROKE for the game and match, 500-75.

With four Bonus Lingo letters, Jason & Charles get MONEY, BATCH, EERIE, ALIVE, SKUNK, LAKES, and KHAKI, giving them seven balls and seven bills. Today's money ball, 52. Jason's in, and he gets... 34. But they will Lingo for $5000 on the third ball, which happened to be 52.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Jazmin Cassio (Chicago, IL) reached the $8,000 level yesterday, but had to use her 3 lifelines on the way. What level will she get to today?

Jazmin desperately wanted this chance to sit in the hot seat; so desperate, that she wound up cutting the line! She got caught, though, and was forced to return to the end of the line. She was certainly lucky she wasn't flat out kicked outta there, or else she wouldn't be here! But she's here, and she's ready to continue...

[$16,000]
In fashion, the practice of making clothes bigger to make consumers feel slimmer is called what?
A: Beauty sizing
B: Vanity sizing
C: Wishful sizing
D: Flattery sizing

Unfortunately, Jazmin hadn't heard of this, so she decides to walk with $8,000. And the answer was B.

Next in the hot seat is Colleen Grewenow (Lakeville, MN). She has been raising her 2 daughters lately, but she's now looking to get herself back into the workforce, so to speak. She is wearing a couple of things that her daughters gave her; a pair of earrings and an angel pin. Let's see how much luck those will bring her... Colleen starts by knowing that in a fire drill, students are usually instructed to exit the building in a quiet and orderly manner (I can't really see how one would experience puberty in such a manner). She gets through the lower tier, then soon enough, she gets to this...

[$4,000]
In physics, the point at which an object can be balanced is called its "center of" what?
A: Energy
B: Direction
C: Friction
D: Gravity

Colleen asks the audience, and D is heavily favoured (91% of the studio audience; 77% of the AIM users). Colleen trusts them... and they're right! Moving on...

[$8,000]
Experts in unconventional warfare, the Green Berets are officially called the "Army's" what?
A: Special Forces
B: Covert Units
C: Assault Commandos
D: Advance Rangers

Colleen decides to call her friend, Brad, who is 80% sure that it's A. Colleen goes with A... and it's A! Next question...

[$16,000]
In 2000, the Clintons traded in the White House for a five-bedroom, four-bath in what upscale New York community?
A: Pleasantville
B: Chappaqua
C: Briarcliff Manor
D: Larchmont

The 50:50 leaves B and C. Colleen has no clue, so she walks. She didn't know that it was B, but at least she has $8,000.

Next up is Patrick Neitz (Brooklyn, NY). He went to New York 20 years ago, when he was flat broke. Back then, he had gotten a job demonstrating irons at Macy's during Christmas time. But he has his own business at this time, which he has had for 15 years. He's a graphic designer, and he works 14 hours a day. Wow. Anyway, Patrick gets going by knowing that a young suitor traditionally recites the lines "She loves me, she loves me not" while plucking flower petals. He sweeps the lower tier, then faces this...

[$2,000]
The Mississippi River is located entirely in what time zone?
A: Eastern
B: Central
C: Mountain
D: Pacific

Patrick says that he had to promise some people earlier that he wouldn't guess at all, so he asks the audience. Both polls favour B (77%; 58%). Patrick goes with B... and it's B! On to the next one...

[$4,000]
The three vertical stripes of the Jif peanut butter logo feature all of these colors except what?
A: Yellow
B: Red
C: Blue
D: Green

The 50:50 leaves A and D. Patrick then thinks about it, and says A... and he's right! Still going...

[$8,000]
Because it sampled his song "Super Freak," Rick James is credited as cowriter of what rap hit?
A: Baby Got Back
B: Ice Ice Baby
C: Bust a Move
D: U Can't Touch This

Patrick calls his friend, Danielle, and she's pretty sure that it's D. She even hums a bit of the song. Patrick trusts her... and it's D!

That's it for today. Patrick will be back tomorrow.
