Jon
Seattle
lawyer
Kaylee
Three Rivers, MI
poker dealer
Naomi
Los Angeles
healthcare worker
Brianna
Palmdale, CA
media director

First up, the smallies. Kaylee flosses while she drives. Naomi draws on her eyebrows. Brianna sleeps 18 hours a day.

Next up, the Dealbreaker Round. One will withhold sex if you don't text me back immediately... hold on... *texts*... Okay, one will hoard rotten food. Gross. One will emotionally tear down boyfriends until they cry. The dealbreaker... the hoarder. At least we can find Kaylee on A&E soon enough. Meanwhile, we learn that Brianna, who is a control freak, while Naomi is an attention freak.

As for Kaylee's big baggage... She follows you everywhere to make sure you're honest.

Now for the roll-alongs. Naomi requires an exclusive year-long contract with the man she dates. Sounds like a cross between a prenup and a cell phone plan. Brianna says you'll be a plaything for her and her live-in boyfriend. Okay, let's get this straight. She will tear you down emotionally... and she's already spoken for.  And Jon ends up picking her anyway? This can only end badly.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves, there's still the Big Red Bag... "I tune out your words with drum solos in my head." Will he stop playing Ringo Starr for his own personal Yoko Ono? Nope. He has too much baggage for her boyfriend, and I told you it would end badly.

Joyce, Cynthia, Lillian, Sonja, Raymond
$20,000

Returning champions the Lawson family play against the Freni family.

SINGLE: a reason a man might not be up for a night of love making.

1. He's tired 38         5. Bad/Stressful day 9
2. Has a headache 20     6. Sports training 3
3. He's drunk 13         7. Kicked in groin 2
4. Zero libido 11

2. Hair/Looks 45
3. Address/Country 4
4. Sex change 2


DOUBLE: 100 married men, a place where it wouldn't be much fun if you brought your wife.

2. Workplace 12          6. Sports game/Golf 7
3. Casino/Poker game12   7. Bar 6

TRIPLE: something that has curves.

1. Woman/Body 45
2. Road 44
3. Bottle 3
4. Chair 2


The Lawsons took control on all the boards, and they would hang on to win after the Freni guys said a roller coaster has curves but wasn't one of the bottom two answers left to be revealed.

Lillian & Raymond try to repeat their luck in Fast Money. Lillian got some moderate answers on her side, getting only 86 points. Raymond faltered on his answers and couldn't get the job done, but they now have a two-day total of $20,725.

Fast Money #1 answers
- Something people begin wearing as they reach middle age: Glasses
- 1-10, how exciting is your mate?: 10
- A kind of nut: Peanut (Lillian)
- Something that happens to you when you're nervous: Sweat (Raymond)
- A place a baby sticks his fingers that he's not supposed to: Socket


In the nightcap, the Hackney family will now play against the Filippetti family. The Hackneys would win the game after sweeping the last board on something you'd hate to see fall off a fire truck on the way to a fire which were the firefighter, hose, ladder and the Dalmatian.

Ayana & Sean are determined to win that Fast Money. Ayana had some good answers and got her 136 on her side. Sean was given a little leeway on his answers and it came to the last answer on a roll of paper towels, which was enough for the win and giving them a three-day total of $21,875.

It's the Tuesday edition of the Deal and Day 2 of the new season. Tiffany, Wayne and Jonathan are looking for some traders. So we start with...

Brian (The Robot), Molly (the Hula Dancer), and Kimberly (the laundry doer) are playing LMAD Lotto. But first we need someone to play. Each gets an instant ticket. Whoever gets WIN gets to play. Kimberly picks blue, Molly picks Green, Brian gets Red. They open their tickets and Brian wins! Molly gets $100 and Kimberly gets $250. Now Brian gets a shot to win...a 2012 Hyundai Accent worth $13,340! But he has to match 2! Match 2 Tiffanys - $3,000. 2 Waynes- $5,000. 2 Jonathans are $79.95...which Wayne adds a nickel...to make it $80.00. Match 2 Cars---he gets the Hyundai. He picks 2, 5 and 7. 7 is Jonathan. 5 is...the CAR. But Wayne has an offer...the sure thing in the big box....a gourmet coffee counter, coffee collection of appliances with 1 year of Coffee Beanery coffee worth $2,600. Brian hates coffee...so he is going big....and matches Jonathan...for $80! The car was behind #4! Jonathan ups the prize to $100!

Next deal involves travel and has Jahkeim the cowboy with busted twine. He can win a trip to the Turks & Caicos at the Sands and Grace Bay resort and Tumi luggage worth $8,896! To win he has to know which is the airport code to Provinciales airport at the Turks and Caicos. Is it PSC, PLS, or TAC? Wayne offers him $1000 to stop...after he picks PLS. He goes on...and Jonathan ups it to $1,100. He goes on. PSC is a ZONK. $1300 is now the offer. He turns down $1,500....and is going to Turks & Caicos! TAC was a zonk! Happy Flying!

We need another threesome and we have Paula the Warrior, Garrett the Lumberjack, and Leticia the Clown. They are playing Don't Blame Me. Paula decides for Garrett...either $1,000 or Curtain #3. She gives him Curtain #3...a 55" HDTV, Apple TV, a Samsung 3D Blu-Ray Player and 1 yr movie membership worth $4,188. Garrett is now choosing for Leticia. $1,000 or the Small Box. He gives her the cash. She lost a Luxury Spa Day worth $2,595. Leticia has to choose for Paula - $1,000 or the LMAD Silver Envelope? She gives her the envelope which is a new dining room set worth $3,197. Now everyone decides for themselves....will they trade what they have for curtain #2...we will find out...after the break!

We come back and Paula Keeps, Garrett Keeps, but Leticia trades her $1,000 for...a ZONK Pterodactyl Tricycle. Now, Wayne wants to do a deal involving a CAR. Darian the rocker girl is shown a 2011 Jeep Patriot Sport worth $17,890. Wayne will sell it to her for $1,500. She is playing the 3 Deck of Cards game....she has to earn it by picking cards. She starts with 3...and has $300. Next pick is from Deck 1 ...another $300. Up to $600. Back to Deck 3...for $200. She has $800. Deck 2 has $100...$900. She continues to go on...for Deck 3...and ZONKS.

Next deal is a for a couple. Sheila and Jonathan have been married for 32 years. Dr. Wayne is going to test their knowledge of each other. They have to match what prize they want. Do they want a cocktail ring worth $1,500 or a 10MP Camera and Mini Laptop worth $1,187? They match with the electronics. Next Match - either an elliptical trainer worth $3,299 or a french door refrigerator/stove/microwave worth $3,147? They don't match because Sheila miscalculated. Final deal....will they keep the electronics...or go for curtain #3...they go for curtain #3...and get a compact compact car ZONK.

Last deal involves Cheryl the overweight ballerina. Wayne and Jonathan give her a fortune cookie. Does she keep the message or the big box. She passed on the big box...which had ZONK Sushi. The cookie says..."It's Your Lucky Day...you win $3,725!"

And it's time for the big deal worth $26,478! Jakheim is keeping his trip, but Garrett trades his electronic package for a shot at the Big Deal!

Garrett's mom won the big deal in 1976. Let's see if lightning strikes twice. He picks the same door as his mom...3. Door 1 was a Cali Classic Motorscooter worth $2,149! Behind his door...an outdoor TV and lounger from Sunbrite TV and Maison Bertet worth $8,436! #2 was the big deal which was a trip to Brazil and $7,000 in cash worth $26,478!

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Celebrity Week
by Don Harpwood

Syn: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira

  Vivica A. Fox - Actress
She's been on the show before; she won $64,000 for charity back in 2000.

She has $45,000 in her bank when this pops up...

[Q5 - Mantlepiece]
What American entertainment award statue depicts a winged woman hoisting a sphere into the air?
A: Emmy
B: Grammy
C: Oscar
D: Tony

Vivica uses the ATA, and 81% of the audience are saying A. She goes with that, and it is indeed A, giving her... $7,000 more for a total of $52,000!

She then jumps the 6th question, which had $10,000. After that is this...

[Q7 - Unfortunate Name]
Printing headlines such as "Battle Of The Bulge," in 2011 the media had a field day with a scandal involving what aptly-named politician?
A: John Boehner
B: Dick Durbin
C: Anthony Weiner
D: John Boozman

Vivica thinks it's not C. She then thinks about it, and considers D. She goes with D... but it's C! It took her some time after that to figure out what was meant by "Battle Of The Bulge" in this case. But as a result, she'll have to settle for $10,000 (the minimum for Celebrity Week) for the Alzheimer's Association, bringing the week's total so far to $35,000.

Ashley Hebert - From "The Bachelorette"
As of this taping, she's still engaged to J.P. (Don't ask me if that's still the case now; I don't pay attention to that stuff.)

She jumps the 1st question, leaving behind $25,000. She then sees this with $1,500 in her bank...

[Q4 - Popular Profanity]
Asked about his favorite curse word on "Inside the Actors Studio," who answered "bollocks"?
A: Gerard Depardieu
B: Antonio Banderas
C: Daniel Radcliffe
D: Roberto Benigni

Unsure of this, Ashley decides to ask the audience. 80% say C. She trusts them, and that adds to her bank... $5,000 for a total of $6,500! She'll return tomorrow for more.

CLUB MILLIONAIRE ANSWER - C: Oceanus Hopkins
