|
|
Panian (Justin,
Melissa, Ashley, Stacy, Tim) |
|
Houston
(Tamika, Erika, Arca, Audra, Erik); $20,000 |
Round 1: something Paul
McCartney would tell you that it's harder to do when
you're 64 (6). Tamika gets top answer with make love,
but she passes the question. The Panians get on the
board with perform and exercise. The champs try to steal
with "breaking up". Not there, Panians get 76. Other
answers: raise children, dance, stay alive.
Round 2: the first thing
you take off when you play strip poker (7). Erika's bra
is #5. Melissa's shirt is #2. Ashley takes off her shoes
for... #1. Socks and jewelry also come off. Tamika and
the Houstons steal with tie for 92. Other answer: hat.
Double: something you do
right before you kiss someone (5). Arca checks her
breath for #5. Audra pops a mint for #1. Closing the
eyes and licking the lips are also essential, but what's
#3? Is it a head tilt for the steal? No! The Houstons
have 222! Other answer: brush/mouthwash.
Triple: someone a married
man says his mistress is when he is caught in public
with her (4). Audra gets #1, sister. Also on the board:
secretary, friend, and... we go to the Panians. "We're
going to go with housekeeper." Not there! Houstons win,
507-76. Other answer: client.
Once again, Tamika and
Eric take to the Fast Money. The only score another
$840, giving them $20,840 for two days.
In the nightcap, the
Shedds (Christie, Jill, Bill, Cody, Casey; $21,550) are
up against the McCarthys (Everett, Faye, Derek, Rosie,
Kirby), and after the double round, the challengers are
spanking the champs, 201-0. Triple: something that piles
up when there's a new baby in the house (4). Rosie gets
number three, laundry. Kirby scores the big one,
diapers. Rest of the family follows up with bills. The
Shedds try to steal with baby equipment. Not there!
McCarthys win, 432-0. Other answer: tension/stress.
Everett & Derek team up
for 199, going into the final question: something people
deliver for a living. Derek says pizza... show'm the
cash. $20,000 in the bank.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: Check local listings or
jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek |
|
|
Nathalie Henderson
(housewife from Baton Rouge, LA); $30,400 |
|
Meighan Larbi
(publishing data manager from Cape Coral, FL) |
|
Matt Thomas
(structural engineer from Chicago) |
So far, Nathalie is this
season's biggest winner, but will it last today, or will
another woman take her down a few pegs?
Nathalie starts with $200
Shakespearean Police Blotter. Another early Daily
Double, but under $800 Off Course, Off Course goes to
Matt. He bets it all on this: he named the ocean
"Pacific" after many turbulent detours in South America
while searching for Asia. "Who is Magellan?" Right for
the doubler, $1600.
Final clue remains hidden
as Matt moves up to $4600 to Meighan's $7200 (this is
without Daily Doubles, mind you), while Nathalie with a
deuce starts Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400 Dangerous
Words, where Meighan finds the first Daily Double under
$1200. She wagers $3000 on this: referring to an
unsuspected danger, the Latin phrase "anguis in herba"
literally means this. "What is a snake in the grass?"
Right for $11,400! Last Daily Double in the round is
under Adjective Inspirers... and Matt finds it under
$1600. He bets $3000 on this: to describe a society
where the government knows everything about you, add -ian
to the name of this British author. "Who is Orwell?"
Right for $16,800, where we end it. Meighan is in second
with $14,600 to Nathalie's $8600.
Final Jeopardy! in "Vice
Presidents": the 2 GOP Vice Presidents who succeeded to
the Presidency & were later elected President in their
own right. Correct question: who are Teddy Roosevelt and
Calvin Coolidge?
No one gets all three,
and Matt bets the farm on it, giving Meighan the game
with $11,600. Nathalie leaves with $31,400. |

Round 3: the King of All
Media is in the building... well, not really, just three
game show contestants in cardboard masks. It's all Katey

Stump
the Schwab by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on ESPN Classic
Host: Stuart Scott & Howie Schwab |
|
|
Brian Sandalow
(journalism major from Skokie, IL) |
| Bill
"The Commish" Gorman
(accountant from Aston, PA) |
|
Marvin Newton-West
(clinical researcher from Decatur, GA) |
|
Schwab's Jackpot:
$6000 |
Leading Off: the 16 teams
in the 2006 World Baseball Classic are first. Bill and
Schwab are out at 3. Marvin has 4, while Brian has 5.
Next, 24 NBA ballers from '05-'06 with 20+ PPG average.
Brian leads with 8 to the Schwab's 7, Marvin's 6, and
Bill's 5. Finally, 22 NFL footballers with 100+ sacks
since 1982. Schwabbie has 13, while Marvin and Brian are
tied with 10. With 7, the Commish has been demoted.
The Coaching Ladder: this
is a buzzers round, as players must answer questions
about coaches. First round, you go up one rung with
every answer. Brian leads, 7-2. Second round, you go up
two rung for every correct answer, and down one for
every wrong answer. Both players humbled for a bit, but
Brian wins $1000, 10-3.
The Schwab Showdown: The
categories are... Zag-Nuts (Gonzaga basketball), Super
Sundays (Super Bowls), Card Sharks (St. Louis
Cardinals), and The Queens of Queens (US Open women's
singles finals).
Schwab opts not to pass
on Zag-Nuts for 1. He regrets it, as he strikes first.
Schwab gets his second on Queens of Queens for 2. Zag-Nuts
for 3 gives Brian his first. Schwab ties it at 5. Bump
it to 7 for Schwabbie as Brian passes Card Sharks for 2.
Schwab returns the favor, much to Brian's delight on
Super Sundays for 3. It's pretty much icing here, as
Brian wins another $1000 for stumping the Schwab by a
score of 11-7. |

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire? by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check local listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |
|
Last time, Jim Daubner
(Rochelle Park, NJ) had to use his lifelines, but it
paid off, as he made it to $25,000. Now, with the 4th
lifeline available to him, how much farther will he go?
Jim still has his lucky coin with him (mentioned
yesterday), given to him by his grandfather, who was a
gambler that did well. That, combined with a lucky
tattoo on his back, is getting the credit for the luck
that he has had here so far. He's hoping that that luck
continues. When the game continues, so does his luck, as
he proceeds through the $50,000 question, before facing
this...
[$100,000]
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf became Africa's first elected
female head of state when she was sworn in as president
of what nation?
A: Liberia
B: Tanzania
C: Kenya
D: Angola
Jim has no clue, so he switches it out. If he'd have
guessed, he'd have said C. Good thing he didn't; it was
A. So, with that, he now faces this...
[$100,000] (Q)
In Dante's "Inferno," which of these is not one of the
three men being devoured in the lowest level of Hell?
A: Judas
B: Brutus
C: Nero
D: Cassius
Jim hasn't read the book, but he has heard of Judas.
Nonetheless, he says he has decided to push his luck
once again. After some consideration, though, he changes
his mind, and decides to walk. His guess would have been
A... but it was C, so he did the right thing by leaving
$50,000 richer!
Next up is Jemaila Duffy (Columbus, OH), a videographer
at Ohio State University. Apparently, in preparing for
this, she put together a spreadsheet with which to
review questions, and she chose to hide it from her
boss. But there was an embarrassing moment that she had
at work, which was when her boss caught her licking his
coffee cup, which she thought was hers. Okay... Anyway,
Jemaila starts, after Meredith tells her not to touch
her water, by knowing that when someone has fallen into
the water, sailors traditionally yell "Man overboard"
(yelling "Man I feel like a woman" might make others
uncomfortable). She makes it through the lower tier,
then soon gets to this...
[$4,000]
In 2005, what pop star tied a record set by Elvis
Presley with the single "Hung Up," her 36th Top 10
Billboard hit?
A: Shania Twain
B: Madonna
C: Mariah Carey
D: Celine Dion
Jemaila goes to the audience for help, and 46% of them
are saying B. She goes with that... and it's B! [So far,
each player this season has asked the audience at the
$4,000 level.] Moving on...
[$8,000]
On the front of a U.S. Social Security Card, what images
appear on the left and right hand edges?
A: Classical columns
B: Flagpoles
C: Oak trees
D: Eagles
The 50:50 leaves A and B. Jemaila was leaning towards A,
so she goes with it... and she's right! Next question...
[$16,000]
Excluding end zones, approximately how many football
fields must be placed end to end to measure one mile in
length?
A: Six
B: Twelve
C: Eighteen
D: Twenty-four
Jemaila begins by mentioning that a football field,
excluding end zones, is 100 yards, or 300 feet. All she
needs now is to know how many feet or yards are in a
mile, and the math can be done from there. But she
doesn't seem to know, so she calls her brother, Jason.
But, as he starts giving his response, time runs out,
though it sounded like he was going to say either 12 or
24. Despite that, though, she ends up saying C... and
she's right! I don't know how she pulled that off, but
it does keep her going...
[$25,000]
On a 2006 episode of "The Sopranos," what silver screen
legend appears as herself as the unlikely victim of a
mugging?
A: Sophia Loren
B: Debbie Reynolds
C: Elizabeth Taylor
D: Lauren Bacall
Looks like Jemaila is not getting past this, though, as
she has never seen "The Sopranos". So, she walks with
$16,000. The answer, by the way, was D.
That's all for today. We'll see someone new in the hot
seat next time. |
