Air time: Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn

Siegel (Lezlie, Vanessa, Cody, Robert, Connie); $2305, three days

Jefferies (Treasure, Ashanta, Aszure, Lindsey, Anna)

Will the Siegels EVER crack the 200 mark in Fast Money? They could... if they beat the Jefferies.

Round 1: a kind of place where it's especially disturbing to have someone coughing nearby (6). Lezlie gets the movies at #2, but Treasure hits the treasure with restaurant. The Jefferies also get church, a doctor, and a bus stop. The Siegels try library for the steal... Not there! The Jefferies get 82. Other answer: elevator.

Round 2: something that people's bodies tell them it's time to do (5). Vanessa's bathroom tops Ashanta's eating, 2 to 3. Cody gets sleep... number one! Exercise also makes the list. But what about "sneeze"? Not there for the challengers, as the Siegels get 83! Other answer: take a bath. We've got a one-point Feud.

Double Round: something people shoot (5). Cody fires with a gun, #2. Aszure gets number one, an animal. Hoops also makes the list. What about "pool"? The Siegels go with it... Not there! The Jefferies get 252. Other answers: "breeze", arrows.

Triple Round: something people would at a casino do to their dice before they roll them (5). Robert blows them for #1. Connie kisses for #2. Vanessa shakes 'em up, shakes 'em up, shakes 'em up, shakes 'em for #3. One more as we go to the Jefferies for the steal... They try making a wish... Not there! Siegels win, 350-252. Other answer: spit on them.

Lezlie and Vanessa try Fast Money one more time... come on, get the $20,000... They got the money! That gives them $22,305. They get one more shot at tomorrow.

I've Got a Secret by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Tonight, another special guest, but first, an even more special contestant by the name of LuAnne Best! She's a grandmother from Florida. And her secret: "I own a pet squirrel who can water ski." Jermaine gets that the pet is a mammal that is not traditional. Suzanne gets that it could live in a tree. Frank gets that it's a squirrel that can perform. Billy keeps guessing, but comes up blank. She gets dinner and a grand, and we see the waterskiing squirrel in her element. How they got a pool on the IGAS set, I have no idea.

Next, a dude who had his own show on MTV and had his own Drew Barrymore for five seconds... Tom Green! His secret also involves an unusual talent for his pet. Suzanne gets that it's a bird. Frank gets that it feels good when Tom's bird does this. Billy gets that the bird help groom him. Suzanne calls conference... Billy and Jermaine were close.

His secret: "My bird cleans my teeth." "I get $1000?" And dinner for two, my friend.

One more game here with a stupid human trick. Mark Kenny from Plymouth, MA is up. His secret: "I am a world champion hand walker." Blindfolds up. Billy gets ... nothing. Jermaine gets the secret off the bat. That was quick.

We leave you as Mark takes a tour of Hollywood on hand.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Michael Lapthorn (exhibition designer from New York City); $27,400

Jaime Thomson (administrative assistant from Denton, TX)

Don Minyard (forensic accountant from Hoover, AL)

It was Michael's to lose yesterday. Today, he hopes to continue the stride. But first, a tip to our good friend Alex... the first category in play... "Deal or No Deal". No. It isn't what you think. Sorry, bruh.

Michael starts up with $200 Word & Phrase Origins, but it's Jaime who finds the Daily Double under $1000. She risks only $400 on an old French word for "throat". "What is gorge?" Right for $1600. She uses that as but a foothold to get into the lead with $7400 at the half to Don's $3200. Meanwhile, Michael, the roaring tiger of last game, is but a cub with $1800. He starts Double Jeopardy!...

Or does he? Thanks to a technicality from a video clue, Michael gets back $1600 and is now in second with $3400. That, of course, means that Don will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Double Talk (to be fair, that one is not dedicated to Henry Polic II), where Michael finds the Daily Double under $2000. He bets half the level on the classic character who was "not gray; he was a little black dog, with long silky hair". "I don't have it." It was Toto, going to $4800. Jamie finds the second Daily Double under $1200 The Coroner Store. She bets $1000 on exsanguination being the loss of something. "What is blood?" Right for $8800! Last clue remains hidden as Jaime remains dominant with $15,600 to Don's $8400. Not a runaway, but it's all over but the spoiling for Michael with $6800.

Final Jeopardy! in "Women in History": iin an 1863 essay, Harriet Beecher Stowe called this woman whom she met with "The Libyan Sybil." Correct question: Who was Sojourner Truth?

Don bets big and gets it right... And that'll do it for him, as he wins $15,300, while Michael leaves with $28,400.

Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 7:30p ET/6:30p CT on GSN
Hosts: Chuck Woolery & Shandi Finnessey

Sibs Ashley (broadcast journalism student) & Chad (student)

Sibs Cady (makeup artist) & Adam (theatre manager)

BONUS LINGO JACKPOT: $26,000

Will someone win $26,000 today?

Ashley & Chad take an F and turn it into FLOOR. Cady & Adam steal PIECE for 25, but Adam draws a stopper. They get the draw back with ALBUM, and Adam draws red AGAIN! Ashley & Chad get STUCK to tie, but Cady & Adam steal with LAPEL. They follow up with CEDAR, VALET, and the Lingo to lead, 175-50.

Ashley & Chad get an M to start their next go-round. That becomes MOCHA, and that becomes Lingo for 125 to the Reds' 175. And that's what the game looks like as we head into round 2.

Ashley & Chad get a chance to tie with a T, but Cady & Adam get TRASH for 50. They follow with UNTIL and the Lingo for 375 to the Yellows' 175.

Ashley & Chad get a C to comeback... but it's Cady & Adam with a steal of CLUMP, followed by FEARS and the Lingo for the win, 575-125.

Again, no ? balls in this game.

With three Bonus Lingo letters, Cady & Adam get CHAIN, ABOUT, SWEAR, BAGEL, EARLY, and TOXIC for six balls and six bills. Good shot to make some money, but the money ball today is 20. For $26,000, Adam pulls.... 30. Cady draws the Lingo for $5000.

Will someone EVER win this jackpot? It's up to $27,000 tomorrow.

Next time, $26,000.

Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Because we love adventures so darn much, we've got another ultimate adventure to give away, but first the matter of a Phrase. A SLEIGHT OF HAND means $1000 off the bat for Robin Redd, a travel agent and stay-at-home mom from Chandler, AZ. Joining her on this adventure is Gabrielle Barloon of Ames, IA, a psychiatrist, and James Rivera, one of New York's finest from the Bronx.

But it's Robin who goes two-for-two on tossups with the $2000 Proper Name, ACTOR OWEN WILSON. She spins first for an ultimate racing adventure in Vegas' Richard Petty Experience worth $8950. The category: Song Title. The perk: Prize Puzzle! Robin owns the Wheel all round, getting DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY for $2150. And really, what's happier than a trip to Jamaica? That tacks on another $7000 more for $12,150. And a trip for Jamaica (and a Sony Card-stacked $50,000 perhaps) awaits lucky Wheel Watcher JL10534. As always, subject to verifiability in accordance to the rules. Legal is very important.

Brandsource Jackpot puzzle is Living Things. This time, it's Gabrielle owning the Wheel, solving GIANT REDWOOD TREES for $2400.

Choose your own adventure with $10,000 in the Mystery Round, an adventure in and of itself. It's Same Name, but James will not share the same fate as the other two, as he loses his first turn. Robin scores the Las Vegas trip off of two R's and a $1000 GPS from Garmin.com from two T's. And $7000 from two L's. She solves CHARLOTTE'S & WORLD WIDE WEB for $7200 and two powerful pieces of cardboard, putting her winnings thus far at $29,300.

Third tossup for $3000 is a person... James plays TROUBLEMAKER for $3000 and a shot at the Wheel for this next puzzle, a Phrase. Gabrielle gets something THROUGH something. She solves MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY for $1800, $4200 total.

And we have another puzzle, a Thing. After some regular play, we go into Final Spin mode, with each consonant worth... just $1600. Robin seals it away with CELL PHONE CHARGER for the game-winning total of $30,900.

Let's add some more to that stash. Bonus Land time, where we get a Phrase and the standard six. Robin provides DGM O, which gives us...

T _ _ _ _ _ N D
_ _ _ _ _

This was THICK AND JUICY, but alas, there's no Winnebago in her future. But still, $30,900? That's real right there.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

It's Thursday, and the Play It! attraction at Walt Disney World seems like a really good place to be at this time.

Starting things off today is Bob Juch (Westbury, NY), who won the "Million Dollar Buddy" contest to get here. Out of more than 100,000 eligible AIM users who answered the questions sent by "MillionaireIM" from September to December in 2005, he answered the most correctly. And thanks to that, he now has a shot at a million bucks! Bob starts by knowing that the fictional character that speaks "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" is Juliet Capulet (since, naturally, Lassie can't speak). Soon enough, he gets to this...

[$300]
Which of these children's games requires its players to sit in a circle facing each other?
A: Capture the Flag
B: Red Rover
C: Hide and Seek
D: Duck Duck Goose

Oddly enough, Bob doesn't know it, but he knows of 2 that it isn't, so he uses the 50:50. A and D remain. He then says D... and he's right! He then goes on to complete the lower tier, then breezes through most of the middle tier on his way to this...

[$25,000]
On TV's "Desperate Housewives," Teri Hatcher's Susan is a klutzy mom with what work-from-home job?
A: Jewelry designer
B: Children's book illustrator
C: Freelance copy editor
D: Special events planner

Bob turns to the audience for help, and while the studio audience leans toward B (51% of the studio audience; 20% of the AIM users), the AIM poll leans toward D (18%; 41%). Despite having been part of many AIM polls in order to get here, Bob trusts the studio audience, saying B... and he has $25,000! Another question later, and this comes up...

[$100,000]
Before switching career paths, which of these prominent Americans studied clarinet performance at Juilliard?
A: Antonin Scalia
B: Lee Iacocca
C: Walter Cronkite
D: Alan Greenspan

Bob has an inkling, but he's not sure enough, so he switches it out. He was thinking A, but it was D, so it was a good move. With that, here's another question for him...

[$100,000] (Q)
A self-professed "train nerd," what rocker became a part-owner of the Lionel toy train company in 1995?
A: John Mellencamp
B: Neil Young
C: Bob Dylan
D: Don Henley

Bob decides to make a call. And who does he call? Jeff Gross, last season's biggest winner (with $500,000)! Unfortunately, though, Jeff doesn't have an answer in time. So, Bob decides to walk, despite a voice in the back of his head saying D. It turns out it was B, so he made a good move in taking the $50,000!

Next up is Cris Benitez (Shirley, NY), brought to the hot seat by Daisy Duck. He's really excited to be there, so they get right to it. And Cris gets going by knowing that a leading brand of sweetener gets its name from a lullaby named "Sweet and Low". He sweeps the lower tier, then has this to ponder...

[$2,000]
What soft drink's name was inspired by a silver-haired elf from an old Coca-Cola ad?
A: Sunkist
B: Mountain Dew
C: Fresca
D: Sprite

Cris asks the audience, and both polls favour D (85%; 56%). Cris trusts them... and they're right!

And there's the horn. Cris will get to continue his game tomorrow.

Yo Momma by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 6p ET/5p CT on MTV
Host: Wilmer Valderrama

Who'll join Harp of North Hollywood, George from Hawthorne, and Chris from the WC in tonight's final? Tonight, Highland Park vs. Chatsworth.

Sam meets up at Highland Park with Romeo, Erica, Desean, Tyrese, and Terry. Battling for Highland Park... D. Sean and Romeo.... AND Terry. A three-way final!

Jason holds court at Chatsworth with an audience of Megan, Ken (aka Matches), Gabriel, Robert, Byron Arstar, and Mark Pablo. Byron and Gabe battle for the right to battle for $1000.

Neighborhood round. Terry enters with "Yo momma's so fat, she broke her leg and gravy poured out" and "YOU'RE UGLY!" But he's called on unoriginality a few times. Will it hurt his game? No. Going to Chatsworth, Byron calls Gabe a "chewed Tootsie Roll". Gabe: "Yo momma got a wig with Christmas lights in it." Step in, Jason... It's Gabe!

Wil meets up with Terry at Gabe's room, where we find small shoes, an electronic Mr. Potato Head, dirty dishes, and a certificate of merit for his first poo on the toilet. Onto Terry's crib, where we find a mermaid doll, a female's shoe, air fresheners, and a blow-up doll.

It's the final battle, Gabe vs. Terry. To the knockouts...

Terry: Yo momma's so fat, she uses diet soap.
Gabe: Your momma went to my house, she shaved. I'm giving you her shavings back (tosses wig).

This is easy right here... Gabriel wins the $1000... He faces Harp, Chris, and George in....

The Best of the Best show!

First up, the freestyle round. Winner.. George. He challenges Chris for a spot in the final battle.

George vs. Chris. And the jury for this round: Austin from Crenshaw, Ivy from Hawthorne, Justin from Van Nuys, and Terry from Highland Park. Chris: "Yo momma so old she got an autographed bible." George: "Yo momma so lazy, she breast fed you through a straw." Austin votes for Chris. Ivy votes for Chris. Justin calls on the Internet jokes, but seals it, giving the nod to Chris, 4-0.

Now to Harp vs. Gabriel. Harp: "Yo momma so cheap, she bought you an XBox 180." Gabriel: "Yo momma's so crazy, Bobby and Whitney were like... 'damn!'" Jury! Terry: Harp. Justin: "Insane Harp." Ivy: "Even though he could use a little decaf, I vote for Harp." Austin seals another 4-0 decision.

Now... the final battle. The best of the best... Chris vs. Harp! Special guest judge Ne-Yo is on the roof. Let's knock it out...

First round: 30-second shootout. Harp wins it when he busts out a prop tampon...

Second round: friends and loved ones. Harp brought his best friend PJ, while Chris brought his friend Dennis. Harp's trading blow-for-blow. So is Chris.

Knockout time.

Chris: Yo momma's so fat, she was diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease, and the doctor gave her 80 years to live.
Harp: What's the difference between your momma and a pretzel? A pretzel's never had my (^_^) on its chin!

This is going to be hard... The winner for this week will be... HARP! He wins the best trash-talker-title, another $1000, a new Nintendo Game Boy Micro, two tickets to Mike Epps' stand-up show, and dinner for two at Wil's restaurant, the Geisha House.
