Today is

I've Got a Secret by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11:30p ET/10:30p CT on GSN
Host: Bil Dwyer
Today, going beyond with the real Ghost Whisperer, but first...

A systems analyst from Virginia, Donna Lee Kang. Her secret: "I was a cheerleader with Sandra Bullock." Billy gets a film actress, famous for more than 10 years, and over 40. Jermaine gets comedies and not blonde. Suzanne gets a white woman. Frank gets a brunette. But that's it. Donna gets the $1000 and dinner. And we get pictures.

Next, world-renowned psychic medium and co-creator of "The Ghost Whisperer," James van Praagh. His secret... an interesting pursuit. Jermaine got "studies". Suzanne gets ... nothing. Frank gets a certain uniform. ... and that leads us to his secret...

His secret: "I studied to be a priest." More pictures! It's cute to see celebs at communion.

Finally, a pianist from Wauwatosa, WI, Joel Freeborn. His secret: "I can open bottles with my belly button." Suzanne gets that it is torso-based. Frank gets tummy and muscle control. Billy gets a prop. Jermaine "plays with his navel." But he needs a couple more seconds.

And we get a demo to end the show.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Eric Dolansky (PhD student in marketing from Toronto); $21,601
Kristen Meinhold (graphic designer orig. from Monument, CO)
Ken Hinton (teacher from Las Vegas)

Will the student school the teacher? Or will a graphic artist put designs on them both?

Eric starts up with $200 Colorful Rock. But Kristen finds the Daily Double, a video under $400 Welcome to Denver (in celebration of a time period change there). She bets the max of $1000 on this: located at 1340 Pennsylvania street, the house of this storied Titanic survivor is preserved as it was in 1910. "Who is Molly Brown?" Right for $1600!

She pads out to $3000 at the half to Ken's $3800 and Eric's $4600. Good scores, but Kristen gets first pickings in Double Jeopardy!...

...with $400 Myth Adventures. Last two categories in play are The Male is in the Czech and Shermans. First Daily Double: $1200 Shermans. Ken bets $5000 on this: one of the 2 important "Acts" written by US Senator John Sherman in 1890. "What's the Sherman Antitrust Act?" The Silver Purchase Act was the other, as Ken goes to $12,400. Going to the second Daily Double under $1600 The Male Is in the Czech. Eric fronts $1800 on this: in 1892, this composer became director of New York's National Conservatory of Music. "Who is Dvorak?" Right for $18,000. That's where he ends, as Ken has $12,400, and Kristen drops to $8600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Countries of the World": for over a decade, starting from 1807, this nation's capital was moved to a city in South America. Correct question: What is Portugal?

Kristen's right on... Ken isn't... Doesn't matter either way, as Eric repeats as champs with $24,801 today, $46,402 for two days.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7:30p ET/6:30p CT on GSN
Hosts: Chuck Woolery & Shandi Finnessey
Coworkers John (boatswain mate first class, Coast Guard) & Chris (boatswain mate first class, Coast Guard)
Shipmates Joshua (machinery technician, Coast Guard) & Shawn (airman, Coast Guard)
BONUS LINGO JACKPOT: $27,000

Armed Forces Week continues on the Lingo, as we salute the men and women of the United States Coast Guard.

John & Chris get a P for PRIDE. They follow with SHOTS, DRAFT, and the Lingo for 125.

Joshua & Shawn get started on their way with a C for CEASE. They follow with TRUCK, VAPOR (apparently "vroom" is legal), and a stopper. John & Chris get ISSUE on the first shot, followed by HEARD... and that's halftime, as the Yellows lead, 175-75.

Joshua & Shawn turn L into LINES, then get FIRED to tie, and the Lingo to lead, giving them 275 to the Yellows' 175.

John & Chris get an N, but Joshua & Shawn get to steal with NOBLE. John & Chris are on POINT to steal. They ? their way to Lingo for the tie at 325.

Joshua & Shawn can break the tie with an A. But John & Chris end up doing that with AWARE. That does it for the win, 375-325.

With three Bonus Lingo letters, John & Chris get RADAR, HUMAN, and GRADE for three balls and $300. Money ball today is 43... John pulls... 7. He pulls 43 on the last one for $5000.

Next time, we're going for $28,000.
