Host: Richard Karn

Sorensen (Jennifer, Matthew, Ann, Jeff, Rebecca); $1470, two days

Gibson (Sharon, Gary, Michael, Selwyn, Anthony)

With a name like Smucker's, it has to be a good Feud coming.

Round 1: something at your house that you would miss most if it wasn't there (7). Sharon fires with the TV, number one. Computer would also be missed. The Sorensens go with the phone unanimously... Not there! Gibsons get 58. Other answers: family, stereo/CD player, pictures, bathroom, pet.

Round 2: someone people especially enjoy winning an argument with (5). Gary gets #2, their mothers (parents), while Matthew does one better with wife. Siblings also make it to the board. The Gibsons try to steal with... teacher. Not there! Sorensens get 83. Other answers: lawyers, kids.

Double Round: something people usually have less of as they get older (6). Michael gets #2, money, while Ann gets #1, hair. Patience and energy also make the board. The Gibsons try out teeth... Yes! They have 202. Other answer: sex drive.

Triple Round: a part of your body that has a lot of meat on it (4). Selwyn with the premature buzz gets #2, stomach, while Jeff gets the behind for #1. Breasts and legs complete the sweep for the game, 371-202.

Will Ann & Jennifer get the Fast Money this time? Nope. They only get up to $450 for a three-day total of $1920.

I've Got a Secret by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

We get bold and beautiful a bit later, but first...

From Santa Fe, NM, here's Brian Berg! His secret... "I build the world's tallest tower of playing cards." Jermaine gets that the item is used in the house. Suzanne gets something unusual made of paper. Frank gets playing cards. Billy puts one and one and one together. And we get a picture... 25 feet tall, 133 card stories. He's going to go back stage and build a card house for display at the end of the show.

But first, straight from "The Bold & the Beautiful," sans light-pen... Lorenzo Lamas! His secret... a brush with fame. Suzanne gets a famous man. Frank gets a funny TV entertainer, still alive and still working. Conference! Billy gets talk show host. Jermaine gets Regis Philbin. Now the brush. Which isn't gotten.

His secret: "I was Regis Philbin's personal trainer."

And Brian's still building...

Next, Aaron & April Armstrong of Brighton, MA. The secret: "I won a race with my wife strapped on my back." Frank gets a sporting event involving speed. Billy gets a race. Jermaine gets a race. Suzanne gets the rest. With a little help from Frank. Video footage time!

And now, the grand unveiling of Brian's card city... It has a tower, a few houses, and a coliseum. Nice. But Bil steals Jermaine's thunder by knocking it all down. Bil smash!

Lisa & Jordan start the comeback trail with an I, but Deal & Matt steal it away again with IVORY. They lead it at the half, 250-50.

Dea & Matt steal Lisa & Jordan's TOWEL, but end up with red hands. Lisa & Jordan get HOBBY. They follow with some NERVE, but Dea & Matt steal BRUSH for the game, 350-150.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker

There've been a lot of HDTVs going out of 33 recently. Could this be a sign?

Janet Franco, Willard Langham, Damian Reno, and Pamela Crosby try for the set, but Pamela picks it up at $2599. She gets to walk the Golden Road with a can of hominy that could lead her to a set of luggage, a round crib, a Chevrolet Corvette convertible worth over $61,000! The hominy is 73c, and the luggage is $_93. Does a 7 or a 3 go in that blank? She says 7... It's 7! Next, the crib at $2_69. Is it a 7, 9, or 3? She goes with 3... Right on! Convertible time! The price is $61,_25. Is it a 2? A 3? A 6? A 9? She goes with a 9....

The price... $61,925!

Janet wins a $2595 gas pump replica, but can she win some gas money? $10,000 is on the line at the Punchboard. She gets a cereal dispenser, a CD/radio, a bamboo teapot, and a coin sorter for four punches. First punch.. $50. Second: $500. Third... $50... Fourth... $100... and a second chance. The second chance... $1000! That's $1100 for Janet! And all she had to do was punch.

Omima Edilbe wins a $550 set of sleds and toboggans. Now the real challenge: pricing his&hers bikes and a sofa in 30 seconds. She gets the $898 bikes in about 20, but doesn't get to the sofa. Darn. Well, at least she gets into the Showcase.

Frances Rigdon gets a shot on stage after getting a Pop-a-Shot game worth $1895. The game is Double Prices, and the prize is a day sailer, either $7321 or $6041. She goes with $6041. Wrong choice.

Willard wins a fridge/freezer worth $729 in round 5, as he gets a chance to shoot for a Ford Focus. First number: 1. First die: 1. Higher. Second die: 5. Lower. Third die: 2. Higher. Fourth die: 2. Exacta. Price... $16,432! That's a win!

Anghu Abat plays spoiler to Pamela, as she wins a $1124 telescope. She now has a shot to Pick-a-Pair for a golf cart and golf clubs. First picks: Airborne at $6.99 and Garlique at $8.99. She keeps the Airborne, and takes Pamprin... $6.99! Breakeven! And Williard takes his car to the Showcase...

First up: Acting class. Brandi plays roles for an iPod, an off-road motorcycle, and a travel trailer. Top winner Willard passes to Omima, who bids $23,000. Willard gets a year's worth of Hawaiian flowers, a dining group with dinnerware, and a trip to Morocco. He bids $16,000. Actual price... $15,458. Over by only $500 and chance. Omima's Showcase comes up to... $26,913. She wins $28,361! Amazingly enough, had Willard gone with Bob's $15,000, he would've won the day.

Stats: even, $128,295.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

With College Week rolling on at Walt Disney World's Play It! attraction, Emily Guskin (Potomac, MD) has made it to $2,000 so far. How will she do today?

Emily, a senior at the University of Maryland, has been to WDW before, and is normally used to being on rides while there, so she is finding it weird to be just sitting in the hot seat at this time. Also, she likes to have every moment of her life planned out, no matter what. Maybe she planned for herself to win big, here? We'll see, as the game resumes. She goes through a couple of questions, then faces this...

[$16,000]
What part of Ralph Fiennes' face was digitally removed for his portrayal of Lord Voldemort in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"?
A: Eyes
B: Mouth
C: Ears
D: Nose

Emily has seen the movie, but needs some time to think about this. She then uses the 50:50, which leaves B and D. She's still not sure, though, so she asks the audience. Both polls favour D (88% of the studio audience; 73% of the AIM users) over B (12%; 27%). Emily then trusts them... and they're right! She then secures the $25,000, before seeing this...

[$50,000]
In physics, which of the following is normally measured as 32 feet per second per second?
A: Speed of sound
B: Acceleration of gravity
C: Rotation of the Earth
D: Centrifugal force

[Before anyone asks, no, the repetition of "per second" in the question is not a typo.]

Emily isn't sure, so she switches it out. After seeing that it was B, she then has this...

[$50,000] (Q)
In the 1986 movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," Ferris performs at a parade honoring what historical figure?
A: Friedrich von Steuben
B: Charles Cornwallis
C: Marquis de Lafayette
D: Johannes Gutenberg

Emily has this on VHS, but she again takes her time to think. Eventually, she decides to call her friend, Josh, but he's not sure, though he guesses A before time runs out. Emily then goes with D... but Josh's guess was the right one! It was A! Oh well, at least Emily is heading home with $25,000!

Next up is Trevor Hykes (Del Rio, TX), a junior at the University of Texas. He has plans on joining the armed forces, and he's already taking some classes for the Air Force. Despite this, he's nervous in the hot seat. Well, it can do that to a lot of people... Anyway, Trevor starts by knowing that students who are said to be in the "Class of 2006" are set to graduate in 2006 (don't be surprised to see some of 'em work at Old Navy for a bit, though). He sweeps the lower tier, then eventually gets to $4,000.

That's all for today. Trevor will be back in the hot seat tomorrow, as College Week wraps up.
