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, there is no release involved. That we know. But first...

A self-proclaimed sports nut from Fondulac, WI, Don Gorsky. His secret: "I've eaten Big Macs every day for 34 years." Jermaine gets that it isn't something he does to his body. Suzanne gets that he eats something edible. Frank gets a sandwich. Billy gets everything else. 21,246 Big Macs he's eaten, as he's saved all the cartons.

But can he tell a real Big Mac from just two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun? Yep. On the left, a Big Mac. On the right... "secret burger."

Meanwhile, we serve up Big Macs for the audience while we get our next secret holder out, a first-time father, George Vlosich III, proud papa of George IV. An unusual artistic talent beckons. Suzanne is empty. Frank... Neither painting nor musical. Billy gets that something small is created. Jermaine gets that a prop is involved in drawing. But that's as close as he gets.

His secret (highlight for answer): "I am an Etch-a-Sketch artist." And he has some examples of his work, including one of Billy from his days with the Tigers.

Finally, a coffee-shop owner from Taos, NM, Nancy Judd. Her secret: "I make clothing out of garbage." Billy gets an odd substance that isn't made to cover a certain part of your body. Jermaine gets that plastic is involved. Suzanne gets the secret.

Fashion show!

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Dan Sander (trust officer from Calgary); $20,000
Audrey Ng (attorney from Honolulu)
Bill Duncliffe (VP of sales from Danvers, MA)

One day after Alex is installed in the Canadian Walk of Fame, another semi-famous Canadian takes podium #1 in defense of his championship. Dan leads off with $200 "Pun" Day. Dan's having a day of his own after he leads at the TV time out, $3200 to Audrey's $2200 and Bill's $1800.

Dan finds the Daily Double under $1000 Remember the 1700s? He bets level on this: locked out of its regular meeting place, this country's National Assembly met on a tennis court in 1789. "What is France?" Right for $4200. That's where he ends as Audrey was just commanding this round with $5400. Bill with $2000 will start first in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 City of the Day: Milwaukee. Last two categories in play are Lost Art (a different kind than from the first round) and Possessive Lit. Dan finds the first Daily Double under $1200 Possessive Lit. He fronts the level again on this: 1952: on a farm in Maine, 2 animals with a total of 12 legs strike up an unusual friendship. "What is 'Charlotte's Web'?" Right on for $15,000!  Dan is back in his groove as Audrey finds the second Daily Double under Lost Art for $2000. Trailing Dan's $13,400 and locking out Bill's $3200, Audrey bets half level on a 1793 David work hanging alongside "LePeletier on his Deathbed". "What is... I don't know." "The Death of Marat" puts Audrey at $11,600. Still in it.

Final Jeopardy! in "Words in the News": this word for one who hangs around the corridors of power refers back to the corridors themselves. Correct question: What are lobbyists?

Anyone notice anything different about the "think" music?

All three are in with the right question, but the question is did Dan do enough? YES! He wins another $23,201, giving them a two-day take of $43,201.

Air time:  7:30p ET/6:30p CT on GSN
Hosts: Chuck Woolery & Shandi Finnessey
Couple Mikey (musician) & Rosie (executive assistant extraordinaire)
College Friends Brian (behavioral assistant) & Scott (computer programmer)
BONUS LINGO JACKPOT: $31,000

Back to Civvie Lingo this week.

Mikey & Rosie start with a T. They THANK Chuck for 25, but curse him for a red ball. They get the draw back with a CAMEL, followed by ALERT and a Lingo for 125.

Brian & Scott begin with a P, becoming PATIO. But a red ball is LOOSE as Mikey & Rosie score another 25. They also JOKED that they SENSE a Lingo coming, giving them 250 to the Reds' 25.

Brian & Scott have at it again with an M for MISTY. That gives them 50 to the Yellows' 250 at the half.

Brian & Scott continue into round 2 a B. They give BIRTH for 50. They ? draw for Lingo, giving them 200 to the Yellows' 250.

Mikey & Rosie FLICK an F into two balls. Brian & Scott steal HOWLS, but draw a stopper, while Mikey & Rosie get SYRUP. Brian & Scott get TEASE. But it isn't enough to catch up to today's champs, Mikey & Rosie, 350-300.

With three Bonus Lingo letters, Mikey & Rosie get PUFFY, GUMBO, DOZEN, and LIKED for four balls and four bills. Money ball is lucky 13. Rosie's got it... She draws... 3. She draws 13 later for $5000.

Next time... BIG money! $32,000.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Latoya McQuarter, Susan Schaffer, Katrina Stuckey, and Sean Murphy start the ball rolling with an audience entry from the WGMC himself, which could only mean one thing... Latoya, having just won a $3278 piano, is going to walk the Golden Road with a can of Ralph's pinto beans which could lead her to a sofa, a popcorn cart, and a $73,000+ motorhome! The beans are 94c. The price of  the sofa is $_63. Is that blank a 9 or a 4? Latoya says 9... Right! Next stop, the popcorn cart at $1_89. Is that blank a 9, 6, or 3? She goes with 3.... TO THE MOTORHOME! The price is $73,_14. Is it a 1, 3, 8, or 9? She goes with the 8... It's a 9. Darn.

Susan wins a $560 set of cookware. Hopefully she can parlay that into $10,000 on the Punchboard. She gets shots from a $25 hot lather machine, a $33 candy dispenser, and $100 wireless speakers. She gets three... she only needs one. Top row, third hole... $10,000!

Jennifer Dewitt is down and up thanks to a pair of his and her bikes worth $898. She makes her move to Make Your Move, where she can win the "Dumbo" special edition on DVD, a rocker, and a snowmobile. The lineup: 3 0 9 2 5 9 1 8 8. She slides the DVD to $25, the rocker to $309, and the snowmobile to $9188. She is... wrong. The DVD, a SPECIAL EDITION, is $30, whilst the rocker is $925.

Shame, too, because she had it right the first time.

Latoya gets $1000 from the Big Wheel. Who will she face in the Showcase? Could it be Timothy Hodges, who wins a $1488 step chest? He plays for a trip to Boston (marked at $2183) and one to Atlanta (marked at $1387) at Barker's Bargain Bar. Which is the bigger markdown? He goes with Boston. ATL was $3387 for a discount of $2000. Boston is $3783, which brings us another loss.

Sean wins an $1124 telescope, as he gets a go at a Ford Focus. The game is Pass the Buck. First pairing: Azo cranberry supplement at $5.99 and Francesco Rinaldi sauce at $1.99. He passes right... Left. Second: Gold Bond powder at $7.99 and Santa Fe bean dip at $2.69. He passes right... Left. One pick at the board, make it count... $3000 under #3.

Last chance for Katrina with a set of backpacking equipment. The price: $800. Winner... Ashenputtel Adams. She tries to convert the Squeeze Play into a Gemcar. The lineup: 7 9 6 9 5. She omits the 6... Should've omitted the first 9.

Sean beats out Ashenputtel to earn a spot opposite Latoya in the Showcase. First up: a dining room with dinnerware, Shari's Berries for a year, and a trip to Thailand. Top winner Latoya passes to Sean, who bids $14,000. Latoya, meanwhile, gets oogie-boogie ancient drawings related to two cell phone, a pool table, and a ski boat. Latoya bids $26,500. Actual price: $29,655, for $3155 difference. Actual price of Sean's Showcase... $16,811, a difference of $2811. He wins $20,935 in prizes.

Stats: 1-5, $43,502.
