Round 1 ($100 per word): connect LUCKY with ME. "Lucky me." Ali wishes on a lucky STAR. Priya loads up on star POWER. Loki plays power BALL. Ali plays ball GAME, and LS finishes with SHOW. Guys lead, $400 to $100. Speed Chain: CREW - N - B - YOURSELF. "Neck Brace" is worth another $100.

This is what we call the GSN promo chain.

Round 2 ($200 per word): connect LAY with MONTANA. Jeanette lays LOW. Jenna wears a low RISE. Jeanette rises ABOVE for the lead. Ali is above AVERAGE for the tie, while LS finishes it off with JOE. They lead, $900 to $700. Speed Chain: THINK - H - B - BASEMENT. They can't come up with "Hard Bargain."

Round 3 ($300 per word): connect GREEN with PILOT. Loki starts it with green ONION. Ali gets FIGHTER pilot. Loki gets CRIME fighter. Priya gets TRUE crime. Jenna's final letter is an R. The guys steal RING to complete for the $2100-$1000 lead. Final Speed Chain: LAUGHING - S - E - RATE. They can't complete with "Stock Exchange".

Round 4: connect ETERNALLY with DO. Chain: ETERNALLY - GRATEFUL - DEAD - CALM - SEA - MONKEY - DO. The guys win it, $2600 to $1200.

Bonus Round: The boys bust a rhyme before hand... Now we give Loki the blindfold. The guys get honeymoon, Jaws, sunscreen, director, and Japan for the double and $5200.

Round 1: something you might need if you went hunting with VP Dick Cheney (5). Tamika gets the obvious answer, a bulletproof vest for #1. Rest of the family follows up with a shotgun and bodyguards. The Caseys try to steal with camouflage... Not there! The Houstons get 86. Other answers: face guard, insurance.

Round 2: something every good couch potato needs (6). Erika comes up big with the remote. Food, couch, and pillows follow. The Caseys try again with the steal for phone... Not there. Other answers: a friend, exercise. The Houstons lead, 175-0.

Double: a song Michael Jackson sang in the days when he still had a nose (full board). Arca gets #5, ABC. Kevin gets #2, Beat It. Laurie gets #1, Thriller. Also on the board, Billie Jean. Can the Houstons steal for the game with Bad? YES! Houstons win it in three, 321-0. Other answer: I'll Be There.

The Houstons sit out Tamika for Erika, as she and Eric go for Fast Money. Tamika gets all the number ones save for one for 186. Eric only needs one question for $20,000. They have $40,840 for three days.

In the nightcap, the McCarthys (Everett, Faye, Derek, Rosie, Kirby; $20,000) go up against the Espinosa family (Pam, Kehlie, Lisa Marie, Michael, Michael Jr.), and after the double round, the challengers are riding the champs, 268-80. Triple: something guys often have a pet name for (4). Rosie stifles out "genitals"... it's number one. Also on the board... car, girlfriend, and pet for the win, 356-268.

Everett & Derek team up again, but today, it's only for for 139, giving them $695, a two-day take of $20,695.

Meighan is the third female champ of the season. If the pattern holds, Robert has his work cut out for him and Mary already has a leading edge.

Meighan starts with $200 You Can Tell By The Way I Use My "Walk". Sure enough, Robert is trailing at the TV time out with $1400 to Mary's $2000 and Meighan's $4200.

But Robert, fresh off a scoring change, has a chance to catch up with the Daily Double under $1000 It Borders Only One Other Country. In the lead by a deuce, he bets $2600 on this: the 2 countries in the Caribbean that border only one other nation, each other. "What are Haiti and the Dominican Republic?" Right for $7000! He adds onto his lead, $8600, as if to say, I'll be the one to break this skid. Meighan has $4800 to Mary's $3800. So guess who starts Double Jeopardy!...

... it's Mary, with $400 Apres "Ski". Meighan finds the first Daily Double under $800 Beastly Lines. She risks her margin of trail, $3000. The clue: in William Collins' "Ode to Evening", this "weak-eyed" creature "flits by on leathern wing". "What is a moth?" Nope, it's a bat, giving her $7400. Second Daily Double goes unclaimed, as Robert is ahead by almost $7000, $16,200 to Mary's $9400. Meighan is still in it with $8200.

Final Jeopardy! in "A 1950s Poem": "whole intellects... who demanded sanity trials... & were left with their insanity & their hands & a hung jury." Correct question: what is "Howl"?

Meighan doubles up for the lead. Mary blanks out. Robert... also blanks out, so it's Meighan, the first repeat champ of the season with $27,999.

Apparently a feather boa brings good luck, because as soon as the housewives give one to Marco Antonio, they take round 2. But as soon as the guys get a hold of it, they take the lead, 160-81.  Double round: something associated with December (4). Gifts are #2 for Marina. Christmas is #1 for Claudia. Holidays and ... the new year? We'll see... Not there for the steal, giving the housewives 241. Other answer: the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Triple Round: at your wedding, something that is very expensive (3). The wedding dress is #2 Claudia. Monica gets #1, food. The party room is the steal on the bodybuilders... Got it for the win, 412-241.

Dinero Rápido: Alex and Carlos take to the board. Alex gets 89. Carlos passes two, giving the team 151 for another $500, $1000 total.

Now the marquee matchup...

IUnivision-Radio lead after three, 163-81. Double: something men do when they see a woman... Roxana? "Silban" Whistle up there? #3. Full question: something men do when they see a beautiful woman in front of them (3). Compliment is #2 for Victor. Number one... look, giving Música Urbana the lead with 279.

Triple: an electric that is always on the counter of a kitchen (3). Kazzanova goes with microwave for #1. Blender is #2. What's #3? Is it a can opener for the steal? No! Univision Radio wins again, 400-279. Other answer: coffee maker.

Kazzanova and Roxana go for the DR this time, getting 138 for $11,000 for three games.

Round 1: Joanne starts us off with 50 from Nicky Hilton. And... don't look now, it's time for a Celebrity Train Wreck. And nothing says Train Wreck better than Andy Dick. Time to atone at the National Enquirer Hot Corner with Jared Leto. Lara Flynn Boyle leads us to break with Helen & Joanne tied with 250 to Matthew's 200.

Round 2: Remember Remember time with the Simpsons, as we move on with Christina Applegate and a Mug Shot of Nick Carter. Helen is trailing this time with 450 to Joanne's 550 and Matthew's 600.

Round 3: FLAVOR FLAAAAAV! is in the cardboard mask round. Helen tries the strategy of answering every question "Flavor of Love". Only works once. Flavor Joanne, on the other hand, is the flavor of love, winning 1350 to her 850. Matthew is stuck at 600.

Bonus Round for a trip to Mexico: it's between Carson Daly... and Keira Knightley. Get it, Daly, Knightley? Bueller? Joanne gets 10 in 45 for the trip!

Leading Off: 20 players with at least 10 TDs in 2005. Schwab with 3, Eric with 2, Doug & Jamie, 1 a piece. Next, MLB players with 200+ hit seasons from 2000-2005... Eric & Doug are tied at 3 to Jamie's 2. Schwabbie, 6. Finally, NBA All-Star 3-Point Shootout winners. Eric's the last man standing after this one with 7 to Doug's 5. Jamie... back to GA with you.

Who Am I?: Doug gets 4 from Donovan McNabb... and 3 from Anna Kournikova. Eric gets 5 from Trevor Hoffman... and 4 for Greg Louganis, winning 9-7 for $1000.

The Schwab Showdown: The categories are... The Dirty South (SEC football), Bad Boys 4 Life (1989-90 Detroit Pistons), The Swedish Thing (Swedes), Touch'em All (great home run feats).

Eric gets his first X with The Dirty South for 2. He passes Dirty South, 3. Schwab gets a strike on The Swedish Thing for 3 and his second on Bad Boys 4 Life for 3. But still, Schwab wins, 9-7.

Next tossup is a Thing. Cory solves a BIKE HELMET for $2000 and gets to spin first for an Alaskan cruise worth $6500. The puzzle is Before & After. Harry picks up a Free Spin and ends up solving TOM PETTY CASH for $1000 more, $2000 total.

Brandsource Jackpot Prize Puzzle is a Movie Title. Anjanette builds up a nice run before the Bankrupt wedge gets her. Cory solves PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST for $3700 AND a trip to the Caribbean worth $7000! Spin ID coming! It's JS29587... Y'all know what to do. So far, Cory has $12,700.

Ten G's up for grabs in the Mystery Round, Where Are We?. Anjanette lands in Mystery Territory and gets $2000 for two R's. Will she take the risk? No. Cory, same thing. Will she risk $2200 on a peek? Yep. Will she profit? No. Bankrupt. Harry finally uses his Free Spin... and he too goes Bankrupt. Same with Anjanette. But the Wheel spins back to Harry who picks up the cruise... and Pat takes it back on a black wedge. Cory solves ALBUQUERQUE SANTA FE TRAIL LAND OF ENCHANTMENT for $1850. She can pick up $3000 if she gets New Mexico... she does! So far, she's got $17,550.

Third Tossup is a Phrase. Cory blurts out BLURT IT OUT for $3000 more in time for a Final Spin worth $1300. It's a Person. Cory wins the game with AN OLD DEAR FRIEND for $27,050! Anjanette gets the house minimum of $1000, while Harry takes home $2000.

Bonus Wheel time! Given Person, the usual six, and D H M A, We get...

T _ _ _ H
