Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Josh Kennedy (bartender from Trenton, NJ); $27,400

Leigh Hall (executive assistant from Los Angeles)

David Ono (medical doctor from Honolulu, HI)

Josh had to tame a savage beast to inherit podium #1, but how long can he stay here?

Josh starts with $200 The Rolling Stones, finding the Daily Double under $600 Harlem Shuffle. He bets $1600 on this: in 1954 he took over as minister of the Nation of Islam's Temple Number 7 in Harlem. "Who is Malcolm X?" Right for $4200!

Josh doesn't let up, as he leads going into the half, $12,600 to Leigh's $3200. David, with $400, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Movies That Are All Wet, finding the first Daily Double under $1200 European Bodies of Water. After a scoring change benefiting the champion, he bets $4000 on this: the Gironde, an estuary formed by a river confluence near Bordeaux, extends to this bay. "What is the Bay of Biscay?" Right for $19,800! David "Sh!!"s Josh for the second Daily Double under $1600. He risks $3000 on this: this religion's name translates as "The way of divine power". "What is Shinto?" Right for $7800! He'll end with $9800, while Leigh ends with $7600. Meanwhile, it's Josh's game to lose with $27,400.

Final Jeopardy! in "Word Origins": from the name of a committee created by Gregory XV to spread the faith, it means info used to spread the faith. Correct question: What is propaganda?

Josh didn't have to bet the farm. He didn't, as he returns tomorrow with $28,200, giving him $55,600 for two days.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Remedios Gucci, Danielle McKetchney, Terry Lee, and Nicole DeVito start the show today with a fridge/freezer worth $2749. It goes to Terry as well as a chance at a Chevrolet Impala in Five Price Tags. Terry only gets one prize, a table lamp, giving him one shot at the car. He goes with $23,305... NO. Prize was $21,040.

Danielle wins a $760 weather station and a chance at $16,000 in the Bags. The products: Azo cranberry supplement, Tidy Cats kitty litter, Capzasin P, Clorox bath wand, Pringle's chips, and Birdola. She goes 79c for the Pringles... $1000! How about $12.99 for the Capzasin P... $2000! That's where she stops. But with the Birdola at $3.99... she would've won $4000.

Jesse Trepanino is down and up thanks to a $779 set of pool lounges. He's got a chance at a lawn mower, golf clubs, and a hostess set in Eazy as 1-2-3. 1... The golf clubs. 2... The hostess set. 3... the lawn mower. Golf clubs... $1345. The hostess set... $1023. D'oh!

Danielle spins her way into the Showcase, while we welcome Heather Verpolak, who wins a $1495 porta-bote. Will she post the first W with an armoire and computer? She will if she knows if she's Coming ($4253) or Going ($3524). She's going... and she's a winner!

Remedios wins a $1029 settee in round 5, but can she win a Pontiac Vibe in One Away? The prize is not $27,636. She tries $18,545. One... two... three right. She tries $16,525. Actual price: $18,725.

Last chance for Nicole, who bids on a diamond tennis bracelet. Price: $1924. Winner:.. Brady Peterson. Now the big question: dinette at $1200... grill at $2275... are they right, or should Brady Switch? He stays... and he should've switched. But he does spin out $1000 on the Big Wheel to take on Danielle in the Showcase.

First up: a visit to the Calamityville ER with a dishwasher, an offroad motorcycle, and a travel trailer. Top winner Brady bids $22,000. Danielle gets a game room with Texas Hold'em Pinball, pool table & Donkey Kong/DK Jr./Mario Bros. arcade game and a trip to Monte Carlo. She bids $18,000. Actual price: $18,550. Very close. Actual price of Brady's Showcase: $24,739. Close, but not close enough. Danielle wins the day with $21,310.

Stats: 1-4-1, $33,857 with six shows to go.

Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil

Perez (Jose, Ilgona, Ilse, Luz, Maria)

Lopez (Miriam, Andrea, Erwin, Veronica, Brenda)

The Veras family is back home celebrating their $17,000 run, so we have two new families feuding it out.

Round 1: a common reason why you would fight with your friends (7)? That's Miriam... "Me engañan." We'll take lies for #7. Women also make the survey for #3. They go XXX with 11 in the bank. The Lopez go with money for the steal... Got it for 17. Other answers: "I don't fight with my friends", gossip, alcohol, and the number one... misunderstandings.

Round 2: one of the 12 Apostles (6). Andrea goes with John... #2. Ilgona tries Judas Escariot for #4. Erwin has #1, Peter. "San Judas Tadeo" also makes it for #7. The Perez come up with Paul... Got it for 87. Other answer: Matthew.

Round 3: an occupation which one would have to keep secrets (6). Erwin gets lawyer, #3, while Ilse gets doctor, #1. Psychiatrist, priest, and detective round out the sweep for 155.

Double Round: a type of office furniture (3). Veronica gets #1, a desk. The computer is #2. How about a bookcase for the Perez? No! Lopez gets the 203. Other answer: chair.

Triple Round: something you use in pairs (3). Maria, with a bit of hesitation, goes with 2... It counts under numbers, #4. Shoes are #1 for Brenda. Earrings and socks do it for the sweep and win, 446-155.

Miriam and Brenda step up to the Dinero Rápido for $5000. Miriam gets two of the #1s for 148. Brenda zeroes out... twice... giving the family 180 and $500 for winning the game.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

As we start this week, Lauren Hinton (Yonkers, NY) sits at $50,000. She is 4 questions away from the million, but she has no lifelines left. Can she do it?

Lauren has a Bachelor's Degree from Harvard, so she could have had a high-paying job. But she doesn't. She chose to become a teacher, which was a dream of hers. It's good to see that she followed her dream, don't you think? Anyway, she could really use that money. But let's see if she can win more...

[$100,000]
Used to measure astronomical distances, a light-year is equal to approximately how many miles?
A: 600 billion
B: 6 trillion
C: 60 trillion
D: 600 trillion

Unfortunately, Lauren doesn't know, so she walks. She didn't know that it was B, but at least she's happy with the $50,000 that she has won!

Next up is Jeff Till (Henderson, NV). He's a waiter, or as he prefers to call himself, a "guest satisfaction agent". Interesting way to put it, I guess. Anyway, Jeff starts by knowing that in a 1956 hit single, Elvis Presley sings "you ain't nothing but a hound dog". He sweeps the lower tier, and he continues to sweep through his stack, as he goes into this...

[$25,000]
What element makes up about 70 percent of the mass of the sun?
A: Oxygen
B: Helium
C: Carbon
D: Hydrogen

The 50:50 leaves A and D. Jeff is pretty sure that it's D... and he has $25,000! On to the upper tier...

[$50,000]
Originally made in Canada, canola is a vegetable oil made from what crop?
A: Linseed
B: Buckwheat
C: Rapeseed
D: Groundnut

Jeff decides to ask the audience, and while the studio audience favours A (48% of the studio audience; 31% of the AIM users), in the AIM poll, A is tied with B (25%; 31%). Despite the results, Jeff decides to switch the question. Turns out that it was actually C (20%; 20%). Anyway, here's what gets subbed in...

[$50,000] (Q)
The lambada is a spirited ballroom dance that originated in what country?
A: Mexico
B: Argentina
C: Spain
D: Brazil

Jeff calls his brother, Bruce, and his first instinct is D, but he doesn't really know. Jeff was thinking between B and D, so he says D... and he's right! Still going...

[$100,000]
Which of these popular sayings is believed to come from the O. Henry story "Schools and Schools"?
A: It takes two to tango
B: Curiosity killed the cat
C: The buck stops here
D: Cry me a river

Jeff decides to go for it, and he says A... but it's B! Darn. Well, I could use one or two of those sayings here, but I'll instead just say that at least Jeff is heading home $25,000 richer!

Now taking a shot at the money is Michael Heel (Rochester, NY). He describes himself as "part Einstein, part Homer Simpson". That's because he likes trivia, as well as doughnuts. Interesting. Also, he has waited for 34 years to get on a game show. Well, now he's finally on one! With that, Michael starts by knowing that each movie in the "Star Wars" series takes place "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" (though it could have been interesting for it to happen somewhere in Jersey). Soon after, he secures the $1,000.

That's it for today. Michael will be back in the hot seat tomorrow.
