Total today: $2600 Total this week: $3500 Total this season: $32,100 Record today: 2-1 Record this week: 3-3 Record this season: 27-23 Video Bonus Won/Attempted/Offered: 9/15/28 Double Rides: 9 |
Ben's first hail of the day? Four guys
named Mike, Jay, Mark, and Larry, heading to 33rd & Ninth. Their
first question is a strike. Turns out that Daddy Warbucks made
millions selling munitions during WWI. In 2005, what jurist became
the 5th Catholic member of the Supreme Court? It's not John
Roberts... It was the OTHER appointee, Samuel Alito. What auto
magazine presents the Golden Calipers annually? They go Car &
Driver. And the driver of this car tells them to go. It was Motor
Trend.
Middle game of the night is a DOUBLE RIDE! Janice & Stacy go to 50th & Second. They sweep the $100s. Red Light Challenge for $500.five of the top eight Ben & Jerry's questions. Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey... and that's it for them. They missed Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Half Baked, Phish Food, New York Super Fudge Chunk, and Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. They miss the next question on the Adriatic Sea for $200. The good news is that they win $1000 in the Cash Cab. Will they risk it on the Video Bonus? Let's go for it! These mammals have a bright and busy coat that scares off predators in the forests of Africa. And they share its name with a type of drum. "Bongo"... is right for $2000! Finally, Lexington between 31st & 32nd for Anton, Alan & Anyes. They sweep the $50s, but can't nail a krone (kroner) as the money of Denmark/Norway or a sewing machine as an invention of Elias Howe after he had a dream of spears with holes at the end. Red Light Challenge coming... four of five most populous cities in Australia. Sydney, Perth, Melbourne,... Missed Brisbane and Adelaide. But they make it with $600! And they're leaving with it. |

Catch 21 by Chico Alexander Air time: 6:30p/5:30C on GSN Host: Alfonso Ribiero with Mikki Padilla On the Web: www.gsn.com/catch21 |

Total today: $1599 Total this week: $8298 Total this season: $141,778 Bonus record this week: 0-1-1 Bonus record this season: 1-5-21 One-hand draws: 8 Two-hand draws: 13 Bonus prizes won/offered: 23/27 |
Hand 1: Adam starts with an Ace, Angeli gets a Queen, and Jennifer gets a 3. Jennifer keeps a Jack for 13. Angeli picks up an 8... and then "very confidently" PASSES IT TO JENNIFER for 21, thinking it'll bust her. Last time we checked, 13 plus 8 equaled 21. Not a bust. Might be for Angeli, though, who'll have to settle for 100 to Jennifer's 600. (Dan Patrick) I'd like to see that again, please. (/DP) Hand 2: Let's try this again. Adam has a 3, Angeli an 8, and Jennifer a 5. Jennifer keeps a 6 for 11... and a Jack for 21 again! Final Hand: Angeli gets a 6 to Jennifer's 8. Recurring theme. Jennifer passes a 7 to Angeli for 13 and keeps another 7 for 15. Faced with a 6 and the possibility of giving ANOTHER 21 to Jennifer... Angeli wisely freezes at 19. Jennifer draws. 4 gives her 19... King busts. Angeli wins somehow. Earlier, I told Gordon that if
Angeli won the $25,000, then I would quit this series. Let's see
if it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bonus Round with two power
chips. Playing on. She changes out the 7 for... a Queen. That's a bust and a loss. But she still has $1000. And I still have this show. |

Family Feud by Chico Alexander Air time: Check local listings Host: John O'Hurley On the Web: www.familyfeud.tv |

Round 1 (7): 100 married men, something your wife asks you to do that could ruin your whole Sunday. Yard work beats shopping, 2 to 3. Scott wins. Rick washes up the windows for #1. Visiting the in-laws is also there. The Scotts try to steal with watching the kids... Nope. Melgrens get 69! Other answers: cook, get a divorce, go to church. Round 2 (7): a word or phrase that contains the word "leap". Rick gets the big one, leapfrog. then comes leap of faith, leapin' lizards!, and leap year. The Scotts try again with "Quantum Leap". I heart that show. I apparently was the only one, because the Melgrens are now up to 141. Other answers: look before you leap, taking a flying leap, lover's leap. Double (full board): a famous Roger. Charles gets #6, Roger Clemens. Christine gets #1, Roger Moore. Rest of the family get Roger Rabbit and Roger Daltrey. The Scotts try yet again with Roger Maris. Good for 108. Other answers: Roger Mahony. Triple (4): a food that only tastes good with lots of salt. Michelle hits the jackpot with fries. Popcorn is also there. The Scotts can win the game with corn on the cob... NO! Melgrents win, 345-108! Other answers: pretzels, eggs. Fast Money: Christine & Kristi are back again... and they get 213 for $20,000! |

The Newlywed Game by Chico Alexander Air time: 6p/5C on GSN Host: Carnie Wilson On the Web: www.gsn.com/newlywed |
||||||||
We're traveling to 1978 at the end of the show, as one couple is traveling to St. Croix before then. 5-point round: John & Meagan and Felix & Lisa are perfect with 15 each, and the lottery is a giant lure. Barry & Tanya, close behind with 10. 10-point round: Before we continue, I just want to point out that "putting on a pornographic movie" is about as subtle as a brick through your window. Barry & Tanya have 20, 20 will double. Tanya matches with "Mamma Mia!". Felix & Lisa can lead with 45 if she's right. She says "Texas Chainshaw Massacre"... No match with "Titanic". John & Meagan can win with "Slumdog Millionaire".... "Rendition" does not match. Anything. Barry & Tanya win with 40! The others leave with a GC from Cooking.com and a griddler... and a pornographic movie. Kidding. Today's Goldyweds from 1978 are Bill & Linda (Brea, CA; married 31 years). Both couples are playing for a sofa and chair. 1) Who is more photogenic, you or
your wife? Goldyweds get it without the last question, 6-5. |

We started the week off with a bang.
Can we continue on one with Barbara Chavez, Robert Weiss, Karen
Harris, and Lizeth Petrago? First up, a batting cage for $753.
Baseball fan Barbara gets to bat around before she goes to
Boston... IF she wins Grocery Game. Two Soft Scrub Scrubby pads at
$3.39 a piece are $7.78. A ten-pack of Elmer's glue at $2.08 a
pop... is too much. Karen gets a $1549 range and a shot at a Honda Civic in Pathfinder. First number: 1. She wins a $240 citrus press and a $165 vintage clock, but that's all she gets, as she only finds the path to $18,XXX. It was $18,372. Lizeth picks up a $1642 chair & ottoman and a shot at a weight bench, a home gym & massages for a year in Pick-a-Number. It all costs $_994. Numbers: 4, 5, 6. She goes for 4... should've gone for 6. Karen wins the first Showdown, as Daniel Sunsteen wins a $1799 kayak. Pool table at $1400. Five Kate Spade purses at $2510. One question. Stay or Switch? He Switches... and he's wrong in doing so. Robert finally gets out with a $757 set of cosmetics. A Honda Element is his if he knows when That's Too Much! He tihnks $20,841 is Too Much, and That's... Not Quite Enough. It was $22,385. Natalie Waldrin gets today's sixth prize, an $839 hammock. Will she rest easy knowing that she saved the show from El Stinko with a digital camera, a dinette, a pair of loudspeakers, and a scooter? The Danger Price: $833. Camera... $1600! The dinette... $833. And Pepe... you're on in three. Natalie does get a win at the Wheel, though. First up, storage containers, designer wardrobe, and a trip to Tahiti. Top winner Karen passes, and Natalie bids $15,000. Karen gets a loft bed with laptop, refrigerator, HDTV, fridge/freezer, and a GEM car. She bids $16,000. Actual price: $16,948, a difference of $948. Actual price of Natalie's Showcase... $18,363, a difference of $3363. Karen's your big winner (and your only winner) with $18,902. |
