Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Hart (Jason, Amber, Toi, Donna, John); $845
Rosebraugh (Zachary, Carrie, Keith, Larry, Mary Beth)

The head of the Rosebaugh family knows a bit about hair, chops, and bad suits, but that's not going to get in the way of their $20,000 dreams. Round 1: 100 women, something specific under the car's hood you can identify (7). Jason gets battery, number one. The rest of the family gets engine and radiator. Can the challengers steal with "belts"? Nope, the Harts get 74. Other answers: carburetor, dipstick (said!), oil tank/cap, air conditioning.

Round 2: real or not, someone famous named Jose (full board). Carrie gets Jose Gonzales (artist) for #8. Amber says... Jose Hart. The Rosebraughs get the bard, needless to say. Keith gets #3, Jose Canseco (baseballer). Larry goes ten rounds with Jose Cuervo (alcohol dude), #2. The rest of the answers... well, aren't important. Can the Harts steal with Jose Feliciano (singer)? Yep, it's number one. They get 118. Other answers: Jose Ferrer (actor), Jose Jimenez (another baseballer), Jose Greco (dancer), Jose Iturbi (pianist).

Double Round: something a mother of eight kids needs a lot of (full board). Toi gets milk... under food/groceries, #6. John's money is #2. The Rosebraughs try for the steal with patience. Number one! The Rosebraughs on the board with 68. Other answers: sleep, help/support, love.

Triple Round: a fruit that tastes good when it's dipped in chocolate (4). Donna gets strawberries for #1. Bananas are good for 2. Cherries are good for 4. Just need #3... and it's apples to win, 412-68.

If you're in the Raleigh, Charlotte, or Greensboro areas, the Feud is coming in October! Register by calling 323-762-8467.... Damn... I'm two family members short!

John and Jason get a second shot at Fast Money. Jason gets a big one in something you see in a pinball machine (the pinball). He gets 134. John gets the family to... 178. That's another $890, giving them $1735 for two days.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Mike Leger (air quality consultant from Bridgewater, NJ); $30,801
Deborah Slattery (homemaker from New Orleans)
Chris Hartley (adjunct professor/writer from The Bronx, NY)

(C-Note: Per Alex Trebek, this episode was taped well before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The fine folks at J! have confirmed that Deborah and her family are fine. Our thoughts and wishes, as well as those of the cast and crew of Jeopardy! go out to her and everyone else afflicted by this tragedy. That said, let's get it on.)

We've just had a revolving door of champs since David Madden was dethroned on Monday. Will it continue to revolve, or will Mike hold on for a second day? He starts with $200 Can You Digit?. So far, he can't digit, as he's $200 down at the game break. Chris is in the lead, $3800 to Deborah's $2200.

Deborah finds the Daily Double under $400 On Old Maps. With $3000 to her credit, the mama bets half her stash on the country that was once called Kievan Rus. "What is Russia?" With the documented answer as "the Ukraine", she is ruled as wrong, giving her $1500. Now here's an interesting spot, and I'll let you know why in a bit, but first, we end the round with Chris at $3800 and Mike at $2800.

Here's where things get REALLY interesting. Over the break, the line judges do their research and find that part of Kievan Rus was actually in Russia, so that is ruled as correct, giving Deborah $3700, meaning that Mike will start Double Jeopardy! with $400 A Steve Martin Film Festival, finding the first Daily Double under $1200. He bets $1400 on this: "All dames are alike: they reach down your throat & they grab your heart, pull it out & they throw it on the floor." "What is 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid'?" Right for $5000. Jimmy gives Deborah the second Daily Double under $800 The Pentagon worth $3600: "The PEntagon is so vast, in 1989 this Secretary of Defense got lost in the basement for 10 minutes before finding this way out." "Who is Tess Weinberger?" Wrong, no two ways about it. Dick Cheney sends Deborah back to $5700, but she gets a late $2000 clue to end at $7700 to Mike's $5800 and Chris' $9800.

Still time to sign up for J! tryouts in Seattle or Vancouver. Go to the website for more details.

Final Jeopardy! in "Famous Paintings": it was originally painted as the centerpiece of the Spanish Government Pavilion at the 1937 Paris World's Fair. Correct response: What is Guernica?

Mike and Deborah are right, but Deborah bet bigger to win with $12,300. Mike leaves with $32,801.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery
Friends Cynthia (writer) & Trish (RN)
Friends Matt (royalty analyst) & Philip (file clerk)

Cynthia & Trish start off with an F. That turns into FOAMY. FOAMY turns into a red ball. They get the draw back with BITES, then turn TERMS into a Lingo for 125. They're not done yet, as they catch DIGIT, PAUSE, KNOTS, and... another stopper. Can Matt & Philip get points on the board here? Umm... no. They give Cynthia & Trish some more WIDTH. And Trish draws the last red ball, as the round ends, with Cynthia & Trish up, 225-0.

Big chance for the guys to catch up... and they blow it. The girls get CHEST, but... goodness, another red ball! Matt & Philip need the next few draws in the worst way here... They get the hallelujah chorus with ACHES. With their draws, they Lingo, giving them 150 to the Yellows' 275. But Cynthia & Trish answer back with JOUST and another Lingo, giving them the 425-150 lead. Matt & Philip get a PIECE of that lead, but VINYL gives them a stopper. That's the game, Cynthia & Trish win it, 425-250.

With three letters in Bonus Lingo, Cynthia & Trish get SWORD, GIVES, CRAZE, STUFF, KNEAD, and completely miss the gimme of LUNGE, but still, five ain't bad. Let's go for 20 times that. It'll happen if 45 comes up first. Cynthia gets... 17. Trish gets the $5000 on the next draw.

 
The Price is Right by Travis Schario and Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
September 22, 2003: Travis Schario breaks a Lucky $even record, winning a $46,573 Cadillac.

September 22, 2005: Carol Fortin breaks a Race Game record winning a $3050 Grill-n-Chill, a $960 Party Tyme Karaoke package, a $2247 Hooker dinette set, and $1345 his & her golf clubs in only 10 SECONDS! Thornton captured a pair of Currie electric scooters ($858) after the season's first Contestants Row overbid.

Contestant Andrea Stenseth joined the ranks of those contestants who don't know how to play Check Game. Even after Bob explained the rules to her once, she wrote her check for $4500 to be added to the price of a trip to Sedona, Arizona. Barker stopped her, reviewed the rules once more, and Stenseth changed the check to $2500. Added to the price of the trip, $3432, her total was $5932 and the second and final full win of the show.

Contestants Timothy Dehaney and Angelo Gianni, losers of Money Game and 1 Right Price, were the day's Top Winner and Runner-Up in the Showcases. Dehaney's showcase consisted of a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, a selection of power tools, and a 25 foot Catalina sailboat. His bid: $45,000. Gianni's showcase, utilizing the "Nuveau Elevator," consisted of a Yamaha Klavinova digital piano, a Joust/Robotron arcade cabinet, and a GEM E4 neighborhood car. His bid: $21,000. Rack up another "First of the season" stat. It's our first Double Overbid of the 34th year: Dehaney overbid by over $11,000; Gianni by just under $7000.

And to top it all off, poor Willie Wells has to sit out the entire hour in Contestants' Row. Sorry, Willie. But the double overbid means that the quickie Carol gets top winner honors today.

Fan Notes: Rich's suit was multi-colored: ash coat, black pants, and a BRIGHT blue tie.

Still no sign of Dr. Emily Senay.

STATS: 2/6 + 1 Bailout; $23,929

Other winners:
Capt. Joyce Hopson, US Army: night-vision binoculars; $4000 playing Pass the Buck (had she gone on... she would've used the $4000 for gas in her new car)
Edward Allegre: baseball glove chair; mini-fridge, joke machine, pedometer/radio, and $50 playing Punch-a-Bunch

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
Guillermo has a good deal for Guadalupe the flamenco dancer, Anna the senorita and Maria the cat. Anna starts us off as the is making the decisions for the team. She gets $400 and has a decision - either give the Vitacilina and what's inside or the box to Maria. She gives Maria the box, which has a vacuum and household supplies for $305, which isn't bad, but she could have had $500 from the Vitacilina. Now she can either give Guadalupe $300 or give him the small box. Anna gives Guadalupe the $300 instead of a pair of GPS's worth $760. Guillermo offers both Guadalupe and Maria Curtain #2, if they want to trade. They both do and they both get...a stuffed Greek toga wearing cow and a rocking chair for a Chasco! Now Anna has $400 - which she doesn't have any more because she trades for Curtain #3. What does she get? a sofa and a lamp worth $1,099. Not a bad deal for someone who kept making the wrong choices.

Will Minera make the right choice? She is told to select a red or platinum car. She selects the platinum and is given $200 to buy it back. She turns it down and gets...$1. The Red car was the right choice, because it had $400.

Maria the Wizard gives Guillermo her hat and gets $400 from Guillermo, no questions asked. It's hers to keep - unless she wants to big box, which she doesn't want. In the big box was a range worth $599, but she's happy because she wanted the money. For the next deal, Guillermo shows her...her hat. Does she want to give $400 for her hat back? Or does she want Curtain #1? She wants neither and decides to keep the money. Under the hat...a collection of small Chasco hats. She doesn't get that, but she also doesn't get a refrigerator worth
$1,199. She's still happy with the $400 and she sits down.

Would she be happier with a shot at the Gran Trato? Anna is happy to go for it, while Maria, after much hesitation, she decides to go for it. She obviously hasn't seen the show, because it's a no-brainer to go for it if it only costs $400. Anna wants #2, Maria wants #1, and we first get to see door #...2, which has $750 for Anna. It's a little trade down, but it's nice. Maria is happier that she's getting more than $400, as she gets a washer/dryer system, a steam iron and a $250 certificate to Marshall's. That deal is a total of $2,547, but this time, no one gets the Gran Trato. What is it today? We have carpeting, and a new living room group for a total of $5,119. Awwww =(.
 
Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander, GSNN

The $2,000 Tossup is PLACE. Shawn is 2 for 2. She is up to $3,000 by solving HIGH-RENT DISTRICT. ...and we add this to the wheel...a trip to the Cambridge Beaches resort in Bermuda with airfare from USA3000 Airlines. It's worth $7,190! Shawn starts this round which is LIVING THINGS...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE! She misses a vowel..over to Valerie. She hits and picks up the Bermuda trip. She calls a vowel on the board...over to Steve. He misses...back to Shawn. Shawn solves WHALE SHARKS & MANTA RAYS for $1,250. You can see these off the coast of Mexico! Shawn is going to Cancun and the Moon Palace Golf and Spa resort! Airfare provided by Mexicana Airlines. It's worth $7,000. And if you have the SPIN ID of BR00707...you are off to Cancun! She has $8,250 in this round...and $11,250 in total!

The jackpot round is sponsored by Eggland's Best Eggs. The category for this round is BEFORE AND AFTER...Valerie starts. She misses...over to Steve. He misses...back to Shawn...she hits and picks up the Free Spin. She hits the $1,000 cash from Hawaiian Tropic gift tag. She misses...and uses the Free Spin. She misses again. Back to Valerie...she misses...back to Steve....he hits Bankrupt...back to Shawn...she hits the $3,500 wedge and one P. She calls a vowel already called...one more time to Valerie... she misses...it's over to Steve one more time....he misses...back to Shawn... she solves FANNY PACK OF LIES....for $3,850!

She has $25,900 in cash and trip!

The $3,000 Tossup is ON THE MAP. Shawn quickly adds $3,000 for $28,900 in total with THE RIO GRANDE. The category for this round is STAR AND ROLE. FINAL SPIN TIME, though. $1,300 a letter. And Shawn completes her domination with JOHNNY DEPP AS WILLY WONKA for $2,600. And she clean sweeps the game with $31,500. Both Steve and Valerie are done for the night...and we give them each $1,000!

Will we be 0 for 8 in bonus rounds? Will Shawn rescue us from the Bonus Round Blues? I have a very good feeling about this. She lands on the , in $100,000. Her puzzle tonight is THING. With the normal 6 and her choices of CMBO:

_ E B
B R O _ S E R

And we have our first winner of the season! Whether it be Firefox, Netscape or Mozilla...it's a WEB BROWSER! And she adds $25,000 in cash to her impressive total of $56,500 in cash and trip to Mexico! I told you she would do it!
 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Previously, we saw a second straight $50,000 winner. Will we see 3 in a row?

Today, we start with Janie Cozad (Hillsborough, CA), who is a stay-at-home mom. She was given the advice of not missing the $100 question, or else her kids wouldn't be able to show their faces at school. That won't be a problem, though, because Janie knows that NASA's web site features historic footage of Neil Armstrong (though if they had a "fiction" section, ALF could probably fit in there). She breezes through some more questions after that, including one that asks what a crook is doing if attempting to "hot-wire" a car (start the engine), and one that asks what titles are given to British men and women when "knighted" by the Queen (Sir and Dame). Then, at the $8,000 level, Janie gets this...

"Toxicodendron radicans" is the scientific name of what common plant?
A: Poinsettia
B: Holly
C: Poison Ivy
D: Mistletoe

Unsure, Janie calls Genelle, a friend. However, in spelling out "toxicodendron radicans," Janie didn't seem to leave enough time for Genelle, resulting in no response. So, Janie goes to the 50:50, which leaves A and C. With that, she guesses C... and she's right! Another question later, and this comes up for $25,000...

Brewer Anheuser-Busch is the nation's largest purchaser of which of these crops?
A: Rice
B: Corn
C: Wheat
D: Oats

Janie asks the audience, and 56% of the studio audience says C, with 53% of the AIM users agreeing. Janie goes with them and says C... but they're wrong! The correct answer was A! Only 5% of the studio audience and 11% of the AIM users had it right! It's a darn shame, but Janie does leave with $1,000.

Up next is Ann Rusin (Cincinnati, OH), who wants to win enough money to remove a tattoo on her back. It costs about $1,000 to get rid of it. And no, we won't get to see it, though Ann does describe it as a little man holding a treble clef. Her road to the big money starts with her knowing that in 1936, Oscar Mayer introduced the Wienermobile (which is obviously a more appealing name than the Gastricbypassmobile). Ann continues on through more questions, including one where she answers that the stenotype machine is most commonly used by court reporters (that one gets her the $1,000). Soon enough, she gets this $4,000 question...

In 2005, Kmart teamed up with what other retailer in a massive $12.3 billion merger?
A: Home Depot
B: Sears
C: Target
D: Wal-Mart

Despite the audience getting an earlier question wrong, Ann asks them. 84% of the studio audience and 55% of the AIM users say B. Ann goes with B... and it's B! The audience has redeemed themselves!

And not a moment too soon, because there's the horn. Ann will be back tomorrow for more.
