Jeopardy! by

Air time: Check listings or

Host: Alex Trebek |
|
Chris Knight
(copywriter from Birmingham, AL); $20,800 |
Joan Belen
(homemaker from Brooklyn) |
Mark Edelson
(software developer from Toronto) |
A Knight in shining
intellect faces two new opponents today.
Chris starts with $200
Casablanca, but is schooled by Mark's $5000 at the TV
time out. Chris has $2000, while Joan has $400. But if
you remember, Chris was in a similar spot on Friday.
Joan finds the Daily
Double under $1000 The Big Sleep. "Let's make it a true
Daily Double." For double or nothing, your Daily Double
is... alpha waves occur when you're relaxed with eyes
closed; beta, when alert; these waves, when in deep
sleep. "What are gamma?" Unfortunately, the writers
threw Joan for a loop. They were delta waves. Mark still
leads, $7200 to Chris' $4800. Joan, back in the blue
with $800, starts Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400
Vocabulary, where Chris finds the first
Daily Double under $800. He fronts $2500 on this:
depending on where you place the emphasis, this word can
mean to comfort or an instrument panel. "What is a
dashboard?" Safe to say... no. It was console, or
CON-sole, leaving him with $3300. He has a chance for
redemption with $1600 Meet TS Eliot. He bets $3000 on
this: practical cats know that Eliot was nicknamed after
this animal because his cold manner seemed like playing
dead. "I don't know, what are tom cats?" Nope, it was
"possums", as Chris drops to $2300. He comes back to
$5100 to Joan's $3200. But it's Mark's game to lose with
$12,800.
Final Jeopardy! in "19th Century Governors":
to date, he's the only person to be elected governor of
2 different states. Correct question: Who was Sam
Houston?
Mark didn't have to bet
the farm; he didn't. He wins with $12,600. Chris leaves
with $22,800. |

a dapper suit named Mike. In Contestants' Row: Oliver
Laday, Tessa Sabbatella, Alvin Rosales with the
pimp-walk, and Marilyn Bowwell. First IUFB: a foosball
table. The price: $1200, as Oliver takes the stage for a
grill, a home gym, and a dinette. Which is the most
expensive? He goes with the gym. The grill is $1200. The
dinette is $1288. The home gym is... $2460! He's a
winner! Trivia: And
for the last time... The correct answer for a bid is
NEVER $420... Alvin.
A $1300 GPS goes to
Marilyn, as she goes for an alarm clock, a karaoke, and
... a 2007 Ford Focus! The game is 10 Chances, and the
numbers for the alarm clock, 6 8 0. $60? Done. Next, the
karaoke with 1 6 9 0. $960? Done. Finally for the car, 1
2 3 8 0. Three for three with $21,830? No. She'll win
it, though, with $18,320.
Trivia: The last time a
contestant won using three chances was 1977, this from
Roger himself.
Wendy Calhoun scores a
$1065 set of small appliances and a shot at 10 grand on
the Punchboard. She wins punches for a $35 paper
shredder, a $39 shaver, and a $26 food chopper. End
result... $100... then $50... then back to $100. To add
insult to injury, Oliver wins the Showdown round.
Misa Tanaka is down and
up thanks to an $811 hammock. Now she gets a chance at a
trip to Washington, DC, and another trip to Vancouver,
BC. The 1 Right Price is $3759. She goes with
Washington... and she's right!
Eva Barreby wins a $1010
pair of watches as she takes the stage for a Chevrolet
Aveo at the Dice Game table. First number: 1. First
roll: 6. Of course it's lower. Next, 2. She goes higher.
Next, 1. Of course, it's higher. Finally, 4. Exactly
right. But is she right? Actual price: $15,434! I'd call
that a win.
Last chance for Tessa and
Alvin. Last prize: three towables. Actual price: $869.
Winner: Rena Kimbrough. Now to the matter of a living
room to be won in Now or Then. Now: last week. Then:
September 1996. Products and prices: Duncan Hines cake
mix at $1.39, Aspercreme patch at $8.99, Capri Sun
drinks at $3.29, Cat Chow at $1.59, Gold Bond cream at

the cake mix. She goes now... THEN. She goes now for the
patch... NOW. That's one. She goes now for the drinks...
THEN. Time for the bottom row. Granola bars, she says
now... NOW. Then cream, she says now.. NOW. Finally, the
cat food. Then? NOW. .
Misa wins the Showdown
and joins Oliver in the Showcase. First up, how NOT to
plan a wedding. First up, no Hawaiian shirts. Then, no
Alaskan cruise. Finally, no cans on a Chrysler PT
Cruiser. Best advice, though? "Holla, we want prenup! WE
WANT PRENUP!" Top winner Misa bids $24,000. Going to the
First Bank of Price with Oliver, as we withdraw golf
equipment, some luggage, and a baby grand piano. Oliver
bids $22,000. Actual price: $16,104. Over he goes.
Actual price of Misa's Showcase... $21,246. Over SHE
goes.
A Double Overbid is NOT
the sexy way to end the season. Lucky for us we have one
more show left.
Stats: 4-2, $52,651. |

¿Qué
Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil |
|
Soriano
(Bertha, Arturo, Maria, Rosa, Jose); $6000 |
Torres (Javier, Edwin, Angel, Joel, Suegrito) |
The champs took the big
bonus yesterday thanks to an impressive DR showing. Now
it's time to see if they can do it again.
BUT FIRST! Marco
acknowledges a technical from last night's Dinero Rápido
round. Let's go to the video tape. It seems that the
Sorianos were a victim of a premature buzz, so they're
giving the family another $1000 for all five #1s! That
means, quite simply put...
Soriano
(Bertha, Arturo, Maria, Rosa, Jose); $7000 |
Torres (Javier, Edwin, Angel, Joel, Suegrito) |
Now.. Vamos, ¡a jugar!
Round 1: a common
household job men do...
(7). Javier with the buzz-in.. "Lavar ropa." Laundry
is... not there. The full question... a common household
job married men do. Sweep is good for Bertha, #7. Maria
gets #2, mowing the lawn, while Rosa gets #1, the
dishes. But that's it. The Torres try to steal with
painting... No! The champs get 38! Other answers:
aspire, nothing, cook, take out the trash.
Round 2: specifically,
the most difficult instrument to play (7).
Edwin fires with violin, #1. The saxophone, harp,
guitar, piano, trumpet, and... an accordion? The champs
hope so... YES! They have 125.
Round 3: one of the seven
deadly sins (5). Angel gets ... well, murder isn't one
of them, but it's #1. Also what the people say: lies and
theft... Stepping on other people's toes... Not on the
list. The steal from the Sorianos: wrath. Not there, the
Torres get 57. Other answers: luxury, gluttony.
Double Round: if you're going to watch movies at home,
something you need (4). Joel gets #3, a DVD/VCR, while
Rosa gets #1, popcorn. You also need the movie, but the
Torres steal TV for 243.
Triple Round: something
that explodes (3)? Suegrito gives us a ball for #3.
Javier drops a bomb for #1. But the Sorianos get one
last chance with a tire... NO! Torres win, 465-125.
Other answer: gastank.
Dinero Rápido: Edwin &
Angel team up for only 133 for $500.

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |

When we last left off,
Rodney Turner (Stockbridge, GA) reached the $8,000
level, having used the audience lifeline to get there.
Let's see how he starts the week...
Rodney is just an overall nice guy, and he believes in
karma, where if he does nice things to people, that
he'll get nice things in return. And he's had good karma
here so far, so with that, the game resumes...
[$16,000]
"God is dead" is a widely-quoted line taken from the
works of what famous philosopher?
A: René Descartes
B: Blaise Pascal
C: Immanuel Kant
D: Friedrich Nietzsche
The 50:50 leaves C and D. Rodney then calls a
co-worker's husband, Ross, and he is very sure that it's
D. Rodney trusts him... and he's right! He then
completes the middle tier, securing $25,000, before
facing this...
[$50,000]
In an attempt to get support from unions, what president
declared Labor Day a federal holiday?
A: Rutherford B. Hayes
B: Grover Cleveland
C: William McKinley
D: William Howard Taft
Rodney is thinking D, but he says he's not sure enough,
so he switches the question. Turns out it was actually
B, so he caught a lucky break with that one. Anyway,
here's what he now faces...
[$50,000] (Q)
Confirmed in 2005, Secretary of Commerce Carlos
Gutierrez is the former CEO of what food giant?
A: Campbell's
B: Kellogg
C: General Mills
D: Kraft
It is a free guess, so Rodney guesses A... but it's B!
Oh well; he does have $25,000!
In the hot seat now is Angela Ruediger (Camp Hill, PA).
She's a theater professor, so she works with college
students. And one of the things she does is help them
relax when in the spotlight. Now, she has to follow her
own advice, and yet, she feels nervous. Hopefully,
she'll feel better soon enough. With that, Angela starts
by knowing about the classic holiday song, "Frosty the
Snowman" (if anyone knows a song called "Frosty the
Sanitation Worker", please don't tell me about it). She
sweeps the lower tier, then soon gets to this...
[$4,000]
Before he took the name Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla
was the archbishop of what European city?
A: Milan, Italy
B: Munich, Germany
C: Salzburg, Austria
D: Kraków, Poland
Angela has a thought, but she chooses to ask the
audience to make sure. Both polls favour D (96%; 39%),
though the results were very interesting; while the
studio poll was a complete blowout, the AIM poll was
close. Nonetheless, Angela trusts the majority, and says
D... and they're right! A couple of questions later, and
she has this to ponder...
[$25,000]
In 2004, who became the first Senate party leader to
fail to get reelected in 52 years?
A: Tom Daschle
B: Arlen Specter
C: Christopher Dodd
D: Barbara Boxer
Angela says that all she knows is that it's not B. So,
she calls an old friend of her family, Larry, and he's
100% sure that it's A. Angela goes with that... and she
has $25,000! On to the upper tier...
[$50,000]
The first "Dear Abby" column appeared in 1956 in what
newspaper?
A: Baltimore Sun
B: San Francisco Chronicle
C: Denver Post
D: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The 50:50 leaves B and C. Angela then says B... and
she's right! Moving on...
[$100,000]
Due to its nutritional punch, what variety of orange
does Sunkist market as "The Power Orange"?
A: Clementine
B: Moro
C: Valencia
D: Cara Cara
Angela has no idea, so she switches the question. After
seeing that it was D, this shows up...
[$100,000] (Q)
After arriving in the U.S., the famous conjoined twins
Chang and Eng adopted what Western last name?
A: Riley
B: Crawford
C: Williams
D: Bunker
Again, Angela has no idea. So, she walks with $50,000!
We then find out that it was D.
And the horn ends this episode. See ya tomorrow! |
