Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Butcher (Heidi, Corie, Amie, Marcie, Kelli); $20,610
Bearie (Brian, Julie, Bonnie, Jeni, Kevin)

We have very Bearie challengers for our championship sisters today. Round 1: past or present, a TV show set on an island (5). Heidi gets #1, "Gilligan's Island". Rest of the girls get "Survivor" and "Fantasy Island". Can the Bearies steal with "Hawaii Five-0?" Yes! The Bearies have 87. Other answer: "Lost".

Round 2: something you'd expect to see at a psychiatrist's office (5). Corie fires with "people in straitjackets". Those would be patients, #2. Julie gets a couch, #1. Nothing else from the family, but the Butchers can steal with the psychiatrist himself. Up there? Nope. That gives the Bearies 162. Other answers: diploma/degree, picture/ink blots.

Double Round: something that never works just when you need it the most (5). Bonnie gets #1, the car. Rest of the family can only come up with a cell phone. A pen and a flashlight are possibles with the girls, but Heidi goes with flashlight. #2, giving them 86. Other answers: pen, can opener.

Triple Round: past or present, a famous Joan (4). Marie gets #4, Joan Collins. Kelli gets #1, Joan Rivers. Heidi gets Joan of Arc. And that's it for the champs, as the challengers try to steal with Joan Crawford. That'll do it for the win, 402-86. The Butcher sisters leave with $20,610.

But can Julie and Jeni come up with $20,000? Julie only gets 61 thanks to two goose-eggs, and Jeni gets one number one for "a part of the mouth" (lips) for a total of 134, giving them $670 today.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
David Madden (student orig. from Ridgewood, NJ, now living in Berlin, Germany); $413,900, 18 days
Eric Rosen (production assistant from Los Angeles)
Janet Kaufman (homemaker from Ijamsville, MD)

"Okay, Alexth, I want Mythellaneouth for eight hundreth." That's how the man known as Mr. Madden starts this, his 19th game. And after a while, all three are in negative numbers. Things would soon change, as David leads $2200 to Eric's $600 at the break. Janet fought her way back to zero.

David unearthed a part of his family history at the Isle of Wight... his great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents. After searching through "The King", Eric unearths the Daily Double under $400 You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog. He bets $1500 on the two hounds with the keenest sense of smell according to the AKC. "What are bloodhound... and blue?" Nope, it was a Basset hound, leaving Eric with $500. That's where he ends the round as the blips sound. Janet's at $1200 and David at $4800.

Eric opens up Double Jeopardy! with with $400 Around the World. David finds the first Daily Double under the $1200 level. He wagers $4200 on the section of London that's home to Harrods. "What is Knightsbridge?" Right on for $11,000. David also finds the second Daily Double under $1600 Let's Spice It Up a Bit. He bets $2600 on the spice that Albert Szent-Gyorgyi used to isolate vitamin C. "What is paprika?" Right for $18,000. The $2000 clue in Physics will remain hidden as David makes it a blowout with $24,000 to Janet's $8000 and Eric's $2900.

Remember, if you're living in Seattle or Vancouver, you can register for J! tryouts at the website above this recap. Now to business...

Final Jeopardy! in "20th Century Women": a group chaired by her produced a system that President Bush says now needs "wise and effective reform". Correct response: Who is Frances Perkins?

All three are wrong, and unless David does something incredibly ballsy, which he won't, Janet's gonna take it.

He doesn't. He only bets enough to ensure that whatever Janet does won't affect his title. End result, another $16,500 added onto his total, now standing at $430,400.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery
Couple Ryan (writer) & Anna (USA student)
Good friends David (customer service rep at a casino) & Anthony (contractor)

Ryan & Anna get a J to start, but Anna gives a G, and even if "genes" were spelled correctly, it's still a foul. David & Anthony get JOINT to steal 25. But David gets nothing but a red ball, baby. Two low down players so crazy, GSN is the network that pays me... okay, where was I? David & Anthony get the draw back with PINCH, following with FALSE, BUSES, and the Lingo for 150 to the Yellows' zero. Ryan & Anna avoid the donut platter with CURVE. But Anna draws red. Ryan gets the draw back with DOUGH, ACHED, and... that's where the round ends, with the score 150-75, Reds.

Round 2. We start it with a stumper, but instead of revealing the word, we go back to David & Anthony, since it's only guess 4. They get THEME, but Ryan & Anna get MEALS and the Lingo, giving them the lead, 225-200. David & Anthony take back the lead with WHEEL, and the ice water with the ? ball and the Lingo. Davis & Anthony win it, 350-225.

With three Bonus Lingo letters, David & Anthony get CHEEK, LOWER, BLITZ, KNOWN, TAPES, and WHISK, giving them six balls and six bills. Anthony needs to draw 44 for $10,000.... He gets 2. $10,000... gone. Now it's about the $5000. David gets the 44 for that money.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
We got a dolly of a deal for Manuel and Alma, a husband and wife team of dolls. If they can get 7 bucks, they will win a Chrysler PT Cruiser worth $15,995! All they have to do is to guess 4 products and they win the car. The first one is Elmer's Glue, then Dawn dishwashing liquid, then Kaboom! Cleaner and finally Hot Shot Fogger. They have to guess the glue within 2 bucks. They say $1.95 and the glue is $1.67. No problem there. Next - the Dawn, which they have to get within $1.50. They say $2.56. The price is - $3.49. They are off by 93 cents, but still within range. Because they got the first two, this next product doesn't matter. They have to get the Kaboom within a buck. They say $3.99, but it's $5.99 and they are off by way too much. It's ok, because they could afford to get it wrong. They can't get the Fogger wrong though - and they have to get it within 50 cents. Their guess - $7.00. Guillermo says....that he can give them Curtain #2 if they want to bail out. They decide to continue and give up a small living room set with 3 mini sofas and 3 tables worth $2,481. Did they win the car? The Fogger is...$5.47. No car. No living room. They get 3 bucks. Awwwwwwww.

We need someone to do something right. Guillermo has a bone to pick with
Hector, who is dressed as a skeleton. The skeleton can have the small box - or curtain #3. Hector wants the small box. Behind the curtain, we have a stuffed 60's Hippie Cow (with shades, facial hair, and sunflowers) and a frustrated bullfighter for a Chasco! Hector would prefer the box, which has....Guillermo isn't going to show him the small box yet. He's going to offer Hector $300 to not take the box. Hector wants the box, and he gets a trip to Pechanga Hotel and Casino and $600 worth of gas for a total of $1,100! Buen Trato!

Speaking of Cows, we got Cowboy Jorge to play the Ball game. Under one ball is $5, one is $500 and one has nothing. While Guillermo is talking to Jorge, they are switching the metallic shells around. When the shells are done, Jorge selects #2. Guillermo offers Jorge the small box to not bother with the game and Jorge picks the small box. It's a good thing, because he selected nothing. He gets instead a $300 certificate to Benihana, which is better than a Chasco any time.

But it's not better than the Gran Trato, worth over $5,000. Hector the skeleton boy wants to go for it, as well as Benihana Jorge. Hector wants Door #1 and Jorge wants #2. No one wants #3 - and that's what we see first, which has a new bedroom group worth $2,361. Next is...#2, which gives Jorge a boost from $300 to $850. The big one is for Hector, and it is indeed behind Door #1. What is it? Carpeting and a new kitchen, with a range, trash compactor, refrigerator and a washer/dryer system. Everything is worth $5,061 total and that's a nice way to end the week - on a 3 win roll. Tune in next time to see if they can keep it rolling.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
It's time to end the first week of the season...and end "Wheel Around the World" week...

The $1,000 Tossup is ON THE MENU. Mike Matski from Ojai, CA solved CHILI CHEESE DOG for $1,000. He is going to school at Cal Poly for Business. April Applewhite from Grand Rapids, MI is a sales representative. Laura Shortman from Westfield, MA is a stay at home mom to two young kids.

The $2,000 Tossup is an EVENT. Laura is on the board with $2,000. She solved ROYAL WEDDING. But before we start we add this prize to the wheel... a trip to Brussels, Belgium from NWA WorldVacations. It's worth $7,000! So Laura starts this round which is FUN AND GAMES. She misses... over to Mike. He hits and misses the Belgium Trip. Over to April. She misses...back to Laura. She solves RADIO-CONTROLLED CAR for $2,800. She has $4,800.

The Jackpot round is sponsored by Centrum Silver. The category for this round is THING. And it's a PRIZE PUZZLE! Mike is up first. He keeps spinning...and controls the wheel for the entire round and solves AN INVITATION TO THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE for $4,700 and you can do that on a cruise to the Caribbean! It's a Costa Cruise to the Caribbean worth $4,448! And if you have the SPIN ID is SS17296 you are off to the Caribbean on a Costa Cruise! That round was worth $9,148 and he has the lead at $10,148 in cash and cruise!

The mystery round prize is a 2006 Kia Rio worth $13,185! The category is PHRASE. April starts. She hits and picks up the TiVo Package which is a DVD Recorder and lifetime TiVO service. Next Spin...Bankrupt. Over to Laura. She hits the $3,500 wedge...and 5 S's...that's $17,500! She quickly solves THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS for $17,700! She is in the lead with an all cash total of $22,500!

The $3,000 tossup is ON THE MAP. Laura adds to her lead with her solve of my hometown, BROOKLYN NEW YORK for $3,000. She has $25,500 and starts this round which is RHYME TIME. She misses...over to Mike. He misses...over to April. She misses...back to Laura. She misses...but it's finally FINAL SPIN TIME...and it's $6,000! The first time this season! Mike solves MIGHT MAKES RIGHT for $12,000. He finishes in 2nd place with $22,148 in cash and cruise to the Caribbean. April had some tough luck... and she leaves with the new house minimum of $1,000. But Laura wins with $25,500--all cash! A nice college fund for her two sons.

We haven't had a bonus winner or a car winner yet for the SPIN ID...will we have one tonight? Now if Laura wins a car, you do too! We also have had a front game giveaway of $47,648 in cash and cruise! Laura lands on the *** wedge. Her category tonight is THING. With the normal 6 of RSTLNE and her choices of DWCA (with no help) we have:

_ _ R _ L _ _ T

She had no chance...and it was FORKLIFT. And she lost a big chunk of change--$40,000! But she leaves with $25,500 in cash...and let's see if we can win a bonus round next week. And we look at "Rad Van Fortuin"--the Belgian version of Wheel (C-Note: with SHOPPING!) as we end the week.
 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
As we near the end of the first week of the new season, Jony Schwartz (San Mateo, CA) is at the $25,000 milestone, and though she used the first 3 lifelines yesterday, she does get Switch the Question at this point.

And they show the same picture of Jony's twin boys from yesterday. The game resumes with her going for $50,000, but Jony does not know which of the listed states the Cumberland Gap doesn't pass through (it passes through Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee, but not North Carolina). So, she switches the question, and this is what comes up...

Before he became House majority leader, Tom DeLay had a successful career as a what?
A: Bug exterminator
B: High school wrestling coach
C: Auto detailer
D: Home appliance technician

Jony has a feeling that it's B, and goes for it... but it's A! I don't know if she forgot about the Millionaire machine mantra from yesterday, but at least she's taking home $25,000!

Up next is Brandi Conklin (West Lafayette, IN), who had a rough couple of days before arriving, including a bout of pinkeye from that morning! And this student also has some loans to pay off, which should be enough motivation to win as much as possible here. She starts by knowing that each state is represented on the flag by a white star. As Brandi moves along, she has to phone John, her uncle, when going for $1,000 to find out that the "flash point" of a substance is the temperature where its vapor ignites. Then, with 2 lifelines left, Brandi gets this for $2,000...

In the movie "Scarface," Al Pacino famously yells "Say hello to my little friend!" while holding a what?
A: Stick of dynamite
B: Trophy
C: Machine gun
D: Credit card

Brandi didn't see the movie, so she asks the audience. And she gets a big majority vote, as 91% of the studio audience says C, and so does 86% of the AIM users. She goes with them, and gets $2,000! That brings us to this $4,000 question...

The Latin phrase "In vino veritas" makes the claim that "In wine there is" what?
A: Treachery
B: Passion
C: Truth
D: History

Brandi uses the 50:50, and it leaves B and C. She starts to go for B, but after some more thought, changes her mind and goes with C... and the change was good! Then, on the $8,000 question, she guesses that the federal minimum wage per hour as of 2005 is $6.25. Unfortunately, it's $5.15, but Brandi will leave with more than the minimum wage; $1,000, to be exact.

Entering the hot seat now is Carol Forgione (Brewster, MA), who is on the show simply because she wants a mattress. Yeah, her old one is 18 years old, so she's here to make some money to get a new one. Of course, she can buy a whole lot more than that if she wins a million dollars. With that in mind, Carol starts with a question that asks what organizations that receive aid from the Bush administration's faith-based initiatives focus on, and she knows that it's religion (let's face it; George Michael songs just aren't that important). Carol then moves through some more questions before reaching this one, worth $4,000...

In the competition known as the Ryder Cup, Europe and the U.S. go head-to-head in what pro sport?
A: Sailing
B: Cycling
C: Soccer
D: Golf

Carol asks the audience, and 59% of the studio audience picks D, but the AIM poll is much closer, with D at 30% and A at 29%. Carol was originally thinking C, but she goes with the studio audience and says D... and she's right!

And the horns signal the end of the first week of this new season. Carol will return on Monday, and though she could probably afford a new mattress by now, she'll try for even more money then.

[By the way, it seems that this week, 5 of the 6 questions that the 50:50 was used on left B & C. I just thought I'd note that.]
