Will this be the day when Craig breaks the century mark?

J! Round: all video games, but Craig starts with $200 NFL Blitz, but it's Doug who finds the Daily Double $1000 Defender. He fronts $1000 on this: the strategies of Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding helped twin this crucial mid-1940 "battle." "What is the Blitz of London?" Nope, it was the Battle of Britain, as he drops to $1400 to tie Craig.

But here comes Craig, as he enters the half leading, $5800 to Doug's $4000. Maggie, with $1200, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Most Evil Britons (according to BBC History magazine), with Doug finding the first Daily Double under $1600. He bets $2500 on this: for the 11th C. it's Eadric Streona, the chief counselor who betrayed this "unready" monarch to the Danes. "Who is Ethelred?" Right for $6100 and the lead. Doug wants to pick up a third Daily Double under $2000 States' Former Governors. He risks $6000 on John Marmaduke & John Ashcroft. "What is Missouri?" Right for $13,700 and the lead by $300 over Craig. The seesaw battle continues with Doug at $17,700, Craig at $17,400, and Maggie at $7200.

Final Jeopardy! in "The Oscars": 2 of the 3 Westerns to win the Oscar for Best Picture. Correct question: What are Cimarron, Unforgiven, or Dances With Wolves?

Craig is the only one who gets it right to secure the win, but does he bet enough?

What does THAT tell you? He returns tomorrow with $114,601.

A dual theme show with traveling twins. Let's fly.

Kari & Lisha start with a C, making a CLIMB to 25. Lisha draws. Larry & Gary have 25 in STORE. They HURRY to Lingo for 100 to the girls' 25.

(C-Note: After the break, Larry & Gary reveal that they're from Chapel Hill... Know who my pick to win are.)

Kari & Lisha get an E, but EIGHT goes to Larry & Gary after they take a minute. They follow with BEERS, but they've got red hands. The ladies MATCH up, then another red ball. They get the draw back with TITLE. Larry & Gary steal NIECE for the Lingo, giving them 225 to 75 at the half.

Kari & Lisha start round 2 with a D. Larry & Gary steal DATES. Kari & Lisha exact revenge with a TEDDY and Lingo for 225 to the guys' 275.

Larry & Gary get an F, and a FENCE follows. Two ? draws means a Lingo, giving them 425 to the ladies' 225.

Kari & Lisha get an S, but Larry & Gary steal SKATE. Kari & Lisha steal RULED, but it's not enough. Larry & Gary win it, 475-275.

With four bonus letters, Larry & Gary get EXTRA, GUESS, SHIFT, and FANCY, but ironically miss HEELS for four balls and $400. Money ball is 44. Larry draws.... 34. They don't Lingo, meaning that they leave with the $400.

Next show, $14,000 up for grabs.

Malba also picks up an $899 washer/dryer, as she has a shot at a Jeep Wrangler at the Card Game table. The window today: $3000. She draws up to $16,400. Actual price... $20,809. Difference: $4409. Close.

Corrina wins a $1199 espresso machine and a chance at $16,000 in the Bags. In the bags: Azo cranberry supplement, Clorox bleach, Capzasin P, Tidy Cats litter, Chips Ahoy cookies, and Francesco Rinaldi sauce. What's 55c? She goes with the cookies. What's $12.99? Capzasin. How about $1.99? The sauce. And $3.99? The bleach. And $5.88? She goes for the Azo. She gets $1000... She gets $2000... She gets $4000... She gets $8000... She gets... skunked. The litter was under the $16,000 bag. Don't feel too bad for her, though. She goes onto the Showcase.

Sherry wins a $580 luggage set and a chance at a BBQ island (marked $3806), a home gym (marked $3490), and a dinette (marked $3021). One of those is wrong. She thinks it's the grill. It isn't. It's the gym at $1747.

Reginald Lewis gets a $1350 pair of watches. His next conquest: Coming or Going for two offroad motorcycles. Is he Coming ($4315) or Going ($5134). He's Going... and he's winning!

Last player is Ricardo Franco, and he wins a $999 laptop. Now how about a Ford Ranger? The game is Cover Up...

It's not $27,380. He goes with $16,951 first... Not it. Only the 1, 6, and the other 1 are right. He tries $16,561. Not it. And none right. It's $16,231. But again, don't feel too bad, because he's in the Showcase.

First up: a word scramble with TEAMS on an HDTV, STEAM in a sauna, and MATES in Australia. Top winner Corrina passes to Ricardo, who bids $13,000. Corrina gets a stereo system, a drum set, and a sailboat. Shane meanwhile gets a headache. Corrina bids $29,500. Actual price: $33,083, a difference of $3583. Actual price of Ricardo's Showcase... $22,192. The game goes to Corrina, as does $34,282.

Stats: 2-4; $46,409 with eight shows left in the season.

The champs got the super bonus last time. Can they do it again today? They'll have to drop the Sanchez family first.

Round 1: something an absent-minded surgeon would leave inside your body (5). Elizabeth fires with his scissors, #1. The rest of the family comes up with a scalpel, gauze, and forceps. The Veras family can steal with a needle... Got it for 96!

Round 2: something a good-mannered person often says (6). "Buenos días" is #6. "Gracias" is #1. "Por favor" is #4 "Con permiso" (with permission) is #2. "Perdon" (Pardon me) is #5. The Veras try to steal with "Can I help?" No! The Sanchez get 74. Other answer: Excuse me

Round 3: a specific reason you might shout (5). Marilin gets pain, #4. Adriana goes three better with fear. Happiness, worry, and...  pleasure? The Sanchez hope so... Nope. The Veras are up to 189! Other answer: pinched.

Double Round: Who would you think was a great soccer player (3)? Michael fires with Pele, #1. Maradona is #2... and the Veras can win with this steal... They go with Valdarrama.. NO! The Sanchez have 210! Other answer: Hugo Sanchez.

Triple Round: a fragrant flower (3). Eili gets #1, a rose. The Veras can win the game with this steal... They do with jasmine... It's there! Veras win, 414-210! Other answer: gardenia.

Yani scores 82 in Dinero Rápido. Can Adalberto score the other 118? Nope. They get another $500 for $12,000 total.
