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, two games to none...

Oldest (Jillian, Mike, Jody, Charla, Scott): $2500

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

Round 1: something specific you were late for, because you overslept (6). Jacquelyn fires with work, #1. School, church, and doctor's appointments also make the board. The Elders try a date for the steal... Not there! The Youngers get 85! Other answers: party/wedding (said!), bus.

Round 2: a famous person with Nelson in their name (5). Paul gets #2, Willie Nelson. Erin gets #1, Nelson Mandela. The Elders get the steal with Ricky Nelson for 59. Other answers: Nelson Rockefeller, Adm. Lord Nelson.

Double Round: something you might boil before you eat it (5). Jody fires with eggs for #1. Potatoes, noodles, and chicken leaves one more answer... Is it rice for the steal? No! the Youngers have 261. Other answer: hot dogs.

Triple Round: something people do to increase the sale price of their home (4). Charla gets #2, renovate. Jillian adds landscaping for #3, while Paul cleans for #4. Is paint #1? YES! Elders win, 356-261!

Charla and Scott go to the Fast Money board. Unfortunately, they come up short, giving the Youngers another $2500.

I've Got a Secret by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

A comedy legend has a secret in a bit, but first...

From both Holland and America, Thomas Koet & Jill Smith. Their secret... "We are champion sand castle sculptors." Jermaine gets a creation. Suzanne gets an artistic product. Frank gets that they're building something out of a natural material. Billy gets hands... but that's it. Stumper! They get the $1000 and dinner for two, and we get a visual of their work... nice.

Next... needs no introduction, Phyllis Diller! Her secret.... she was noticed a lot more than just her comedic talent. Suzanne gets that props were involved. Frank gets that they could show what her secret was right here, but they're not going to. And that she wasn't wearing very much. And we're going to give it to him!

The secret is: "I posed nude for Playboy." Now this was from WAY back in the day, so you can understand how bangin' she was. She still is, you know.

Finally, a construction foreman from Franklin Furnace, OH, Jamie Vendera! "How do you follow Phyllis Diller?" With this... "I can shatter glass with my voice." Frank, strength and endurance are involved. Billy, a sound is made when you do this. Jermaine... nothing. Suzanne, singing is involved. Time for a conference. Jermaine gets it... but he's too late.

We get a demo, as seen on an ep of Mythbusters.

Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Friends Kate (photographer) & Jeff (works in ticket sales)

Friends Paula (massage therapist) & LaShunn (banking operations manager)

BONUS LINGO JACKPOT: $18,000

Special hello to Andy Pei from yesterday's show, who said a special hello to us.

Kate & Jeff get an S to start, but Paula & LaShunn aren't SORRY to steal. It's called karma, LaShunn, as she draws a stopper. Kate & Jeff capitalize with WAGON, but Kate has red hands... Kate FIRES with another 25, though. Now she's ball-shy. Paula & LaShunn CRAMP their style for the steal. They follow up with AUDIO. Kate & Jeff steal with GLOBE. They follow with YEARN and the Lingo for the 150-75 lead.

Paula & LaShunn start coming back with P. Kate & Jeff fill in PAIRS to end the round in the lead, 175-75.

Paula & LaShunn get a B, but Kate & Jeff steal with BIRDS. Paula & LaShunn steal a VOWEL movement, and Chuck has flashbacks of the 70s. A ? ball gives them Lingo for a tie ball game, 225 all.

Kate & Jeff get a D, but Paula & LaShunn get the draw back with a DIRTY play. And that did it for the win.

With two Bonus Lingo letters, Paula & LaShunn get LIGHTS, CLIFF, ANGRY, SKIRT, PUPIL, BOOTH, and GOING for seven balls and seven bills. Money ball today is 20. Paula pulls... 44. No $18,000, but she gets the Lingo in 3 for $5000.

Tomorrow, it's up to $19,000.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Ignacia Flores, Maxentius John, Thomas Bruce, and Jesse Gonzales start this show off with a $1288 karaoke. It goes to Jesse, as he gets shown a Lincoln Town Car! He'll get to push that whip if he wins 3 Strikes. Numbers: 2, 3, 4, 8, 9. And in comes the one strike. And out comes the one strike. And in comes the one strike again. He thinks the first number is two TWICE before he gets on the board with the 9 and then the 2 as the last two numbers. And... out comes the strike again. He gets the 8 out again, but before he can place the 3 and the 4... Out comes the one strike again.

Thomas wins a $800 floor lamp. He'll win a Gemcar to go with it if he can negotiate Bonkers. The price is not $5745. He goes high, low, high, high. Wrong. Low, high, low, high? Wrong. Low, high, low, low? Wrong. High, low, low, low? Wrong. High, low, high, low? Right! It's $9390.

Next round, after nearly dodging assault charges in the previous round, Melissa Gordon wins a $779 set of inflatable cabanas and a shot at an elliptical trainer marked $2599, a set of luggage marked $1899, and a sofa marked $1545. One of those is wrong. She picks the luggage... $1070! Winner! But neither the accoster nor the accosted will go to the Showcase. This one goes to Jesse.

Michael Semanchek wins an $899 gas range and a chance to roll the oversized red bones for a Chevy Aveo. First number: 1. First die: 2. Michael goes higher. Second: 4. He goes higher. Third: 5. He goes lower. Fourth: 5 again. This time, right on the money. Actual price... $15,215. The middle number is wrong.

Alice Huntington wins a $799 area rug and a chance at an HDTV playing Coming ($3995) or Going ($5993). This one's a gimme. She is coming, and she's a winner!

Last chance for both Ignacia and Maxentius (who wailed on Michael before he got on stage... Too much Family Guy with that one) with a bumper pool table. The $2849 prize goes to... Ignacia! Let's go grocery shopping for a trip to Australia! She picks out 1 Tidy Cats scoop litter at $7.37. Then she picks out five Tums Smoothies... $3.99 a pop is another $19.95. And over she goes. Don't cry for her, though. She's going to the Showcase.

Speaking of which, first up, the do's and don'ts of dieting as demonstrated by chocolates for a year, a cruise of the Panama Canal, and a Ford Freestar. Top winner Ignacia bids $28,000. Jesse gets to sit on the dock of the bat at Port O'Price. We've got a player guitar, a dinette, and a wave runner. He bids $10,000. Actual price: $20,969, a difference of $10,969. Ignacia's Showcase is... $30,756! She wins $33,605!

Stats: breakeven, $57,778.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Going into today's show, Jonathan Dyke (Diamond Bar, CA) has $1,000, and is ready to tackle the middle tier...

At his job as a concierge, Jonathan was recently named "Employee of the Month". Usually, one who gets that title is treated to sushi and wine, as well as a nice view of the ocean. But there was a problem: they forgot to invite him back to the hotel for it! Yipes. Well, at least he was told eventually. Anyway, the game resumes, and he rolls through most of the middle tier, before heading into this...

[$25,000]
Known for his powdered hair and ever-present fan, eccentric designer Karl Lagerfeld has helmed what fashion house since 1983?
A: Chanel
B: Christian Dior
C: Louis Vuitton
D: Gucci

Jonathan decides to ask the audience, but both polls seem to disagree with each other. While the studio audience says A (59% of the studio audience; 16% of the AIM users), the AIM poll says D (6%; 34%). With that, Jonathan uses the 50:50, which happens to leave A and D. He then trusts the studio audience, going with A... and he has $25,000! On to the upper tier...

[$50,000]
Western Sahara is a disputed African region that is claimed by what neighboring country?
A: Nigeria
B: Egypt
C: Morocco
D: Somalia

Jonathan decides to switch the question. After the answer is revealed (it's C), this comes up...

[$50,000] (Q)
Speaking for over 24 hours against a famous civil rights bill, who holds the record for the longest speech in Senate history?
A: Orrin Hatch
B: Barry Goldwater
C: Strom Thurmond
D: Jesse Helms

Jonathan decides to call a lawyer, Paul Bradley, and he is 90% sure that it's C. Jonathan trusts him... and he's right! Still going...

[$100,000]
What literary heroine, upon her death, is buried in three coffins, "one oak, one mahogany, one lead"?
A: Hester Prynne
B: Anna Karenina
C: Catherine Earnshaw
D: Emma Bovary

Jonathan had a dream the night before, where he left with $50,000. And it looks like that dream is coming true, as he walks. After seeing that it was D, he gets his check for $50,000!

Next up is Peggy Sammataro (Westerly, RI). She's famous in her hometown for making world-renowned meatballs. She says the trick to her meatballs is in the sauce. I bet she could make a ton more with a million bucks. With that, Peggy starts by knowing that fried strips of chicken breast are commonly called chicken fingers. Along the way, she faces this...

[$500]
In the classic logo for the baking soda brand Arm & Hammer, what muscle is being flexed?
A: Biceps
B: Quadriceps
C: Pectoral
D: Abdominal

Peggy asks the audience, and the vast majority of both polls are favouring A (98%; 90%). Peggy goes with that... and of course, it's A! She then finishes the lower tier, and she's now rolling through, all the way to this...

[$25,000]
"If a son strikes his father, his hands shall be hewn off" is a harsh decree from what ancient leader's famous code of laws?
A: Hammurabi
B: Attila the Hun
C: Genghis Khan
D: Alexander the Great

The 50:50 leaves A and C. Peggy goes with A... and she has $25,000! Moving on...

[$50,000]
With a handicap of 1.1, who did Golf Digest list as Hollywood's top celebrity golfer in 2005?
A: Don Johnson
B: Chris O'Donnell
C: Samuel L. Jackson
D: Dennis Quaid

Peggy calls a pharmacist that she works with at a university, Ray, but he doesn't get an answer in time. Despite that, Peggy saves her STQ lifeline, and guesses C... but it's D! Hey, at least she has $25,000!

That's all for today. See ya tomorrow!
