Family Feud by Chico Alexander and Chris Tufts, GSNN

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

I... love... Feuding on TV, case #3, hanging with my friends... and TWINS... It's the Battle of the Twins on the Feud all this week. The Youngers are leading, one game to none...

Oldest (Scott, Jillian, Mike, Jody, Charla)

Youngest (Chris, Jacquelyn, Paul, Erin, Darla); $20,000

Round 1: 100 men, something you'd trade in if you can get one that's better (7). Scott fires with #1, a car. Jillian goes for the second most obvious answer: their wives. Also on the board: job, house, and boat. The Youngers try to steal with TV... Got it for 85! Other answer: body.

Round 2: something you won't stop doing even if the phone rings (6). Jillian... "Having sex." And that's hanky panky for #1! Also, using the potty, tending the baby, watching the Feud, showering, and... having dinner? Chris likes it... What did the people say? Good for 150.

Double Round: something you have more of now than you did 10 years ago (5). Paul gets money for money. Erin: fat. Darla: clothes and shoes. Chris: family. One more answer, and the Elders go with... debt. Not there! Youngers up to 270. Other answer: sense/wisdom.

Triple Round: real or fictional, a famous Bert/Burt (4). Erin gets #2, Bert & Ernie. Jody goes one better with Burt Reynolds. Scott gets #3, Burt Lancaster. The Youngers get one more shot with Burt Bacharach... Shutout! 546-0!

What, no love for Bert Convy?

Chris & Jacquelyn take the Fast Money board again. Will they take another $20,000? Nope. The Elders get $2500.

I've Got a Secret by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Buzzer's fired up. Let's get the party started.

First up, mystery novel fans Kelly Nelson & Colleen Fisher from just outside Seattle. Their secret: "We are mother/daughter champion bodybuilders." Jermaine gets that they do the same physical activity. Suzanne gets that it is athletic. Frank gets that it is competitive... and they are related. Billy gets that their mother/daughter. But that's it. We've got a stumper, and Kelly & Colleen get dinner and $1000.

And we have video footage.

Disney fanatic coming. Here's Jack Condon. He's got... an incredible collection. Suzanne gets television. Frank narrows it to the 70s. Billy narrows it to pretty lady cops...

The secret is: "I collect Charlie's Angels memorabilia." The TV show, not the movie, as he's got pics of himself and all six angels.

Finally, Duane Flatmo from Eureka, CA. His secret: "I play guitar with a hand mixer." Frank gets an unusual way of making music. Billy gets a guitar. Jermaine gets that something else is involved. Suzanne gets that a gadget is involved. She was SO CLOSE! So Duane gets $1000 and the dinner... and we see the magic hand mixer in action.

Friends Andy (accountant) & Sam (mortgage broker)

Couple Jennifer (student) & Matt (golf coach)

BONUS LINGO JACKPOT: $17,000

17 Gs on the line if someone's lucky enough to draw the money ball today.

Andy & Sam get an L to start, which turns into LATER. Which turns into a stopper. Jennifer JOKES for 25 with Matt. They get another 25 in the PAINT, followed by a stopper. They get the draw back with GRAVY and the Lingo for 125 to the Yellows' 25.

Andy & Sam get an S. They SPEAK up for 25. They follow up with TIMES, REBEL, and the Lingo for the lead, 150-125.

Jennifer & Matt tie it with an M for MOUNT. Andy & Sam steal HOMER (D'oh!) to lead at the half, 175-150.

Jennifer & Matt get a B to start round 2. They take a BREAK for 50. They follow up with TOUCH and Lingo to shoot to 350 to the Yellows' 175.

Andy & Sam can catch up with an S for SWEET. But Andy comes up red, giving Jennifer & Matt FIXED for the game, 400-275.

With two Bonus Lingo letters, Jennifer & Matt get WOMEN, PILOT, GREAT, APPLY, BLINK, TREND, ROADS, KNOWN, and DAIRY for the guarantee of nine, but can they get the $17,000? The money ball is 52. Matt draws... 64. Jennifer draws 52. And Matt will never hear the end of it.

Tomorrow, it's up to $18,000.

We just had another $100,000 win...how can we top it on our 2nd day of College Week? Well, we have another chance to win a trip to Hawaii in our "Text Me to Paradise" Sweepstakes! And we have the University of Colorado "Buff" Basketball Band, the CU Cheerleaders and "Chip" The Buffalo as well!

Kristie starts this round which is PHRASE. First Spin...the $10,000 Wedge! She hits the Mediterranean Tour! She misses the solve...over to Micah. He hits a $2,500 X. And he solves THE EXCEPTION THAT PROVES THE RULE for $5,300. He has $6,300. (She solved THE EXCEPTION THAT BROKES THE RULE.) She lost over $22,000 with that bad solve. Ouch.

The jackpot round is sponsored by Eggland's Best Eggs. The category is ON THE MENU...and a PRIZE PUZZLE as well. Micah starts. He starts with Lose A Turn. David gets his first shot. He hits and picks up the $500 Shock Coffee/$500 Cash Gift Tag. He misses...over to Kristie. She hits and picks up the Cingular Walkman Phone Package.

The $3,000 Tossup is EVENT. Kristie is up to $13,750 with HEART-TO-HEART TALK. We go right into the FINAL SPIN with the big one! $6,000 a letter tonight! COLLEGE LIFE is the category.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Yesterday, Ian Winkler (Iowa City, IA) had no problem getting to $1,000. How much farther will he go without a problem?

It seems that everyone that Ian told about this was in shock, and didn't really believe that he was going to be here. Well, I'm sure they'll believe it once they see this show! Also, the day of this taping is also the 1-year anniversary of the passing of his grandmother, who believed that he could make it into the hot seat. So, this is an emotional moment for him, but I'm sure he can make his grandmother proud. With that, the game resumes...

[$2,000]
The actor who originated the role of Cooter on what TV show called its 2005 big-screen remake a "sleazy insult"?
A: Bewitched
B: The Dukes of Hazzard
C: The Honeymooners
D: Fat Albert

Ian didn't want to do this early, but he asks the audience. Both polls lean towards B (92% of the studio audience; 52% of the AIM users). Ian trusts them... and they're right! Another question later, and he has this one to ponder...

[$8,000]
The famous swallows of the San Juan Capistrano mission traditionally return on St. Joseph's Day, the 19th of what month?
A: March
B: June
C: September
D: December

Ian calls his uncle Bobby, but he doesn't give an answer in time. With that, Ian then uses the 50:50, leaving A and B. Ian then guesses B... but it's A! Darn. Looks like he'll have to settle for $1,000.

Next up is Leslie Archey (New York, NY). She's involved in sales during the day, but she wants the million bucks here. So, they get right to it, and Leslie starts by knowing that in the Bible, to encourage man to have children, God issues the command "Be fruitful and multiply" (to be honest, I can't really see Him saying "Let's do this thing!"). She gets through the lower tier, then gets through a few more questions before facing this...

[$16,000]
Often used in French, what pronunciation mark is always placed under a letter and never above it?
A: Umlaut
B: Tilde
C: Cedilla
D: Circumflex

Leslie asks the audience, and both polls favour C (41%; 42%). Leslie trusts them... and they're right! Moving on...

[$25,000]
Amid widespread political squabbling, what country's president sacked his entire 7-month-old cabinet in 2005?
A: Poland
B: Ukraine
C: Czech Republic
D: Croatia

Leslie decides to call the father of one of her best friends, Peter, whom she had never met. Peter says B, but he's only 25% sure. In other words, it's a guess. Leslie then uses the 50:50, which leaves B and C. She then gives it some thought, but she decides to walk with $16,000. And it turns out the guess was right; it was B.

In the hot seat now is Jonathan Dyke (Diamond Bar, CA). He's a concierge at a hotel where he serves celebrities, but he'd like to compose music for some films. So, he could use some money to help out with that. Jonathan starts by knowing that "Fill 'er up!" is a request commonly made while purchasing gasoline (though I'd laugh if someone were to use that line when getting implants). He sweeps the lower tier...

..before time runs out. Jonathan will be back tomorrow to hopefully add to the $1,000 that he currently has.
