Host: Richard Karn

Hart (Jason, Amber, Toi, Donna, John); $1735, two days

Chick (Dan, Vanessa, Dave, Brittany, Chad)

It's Uncle Dan versus the Hart family today. Time to face off for round 1: a war hero who became President of the United States (6). Jason's Bush 41 is #6. US Grant gives the Chicks control for #3. Vanessa's George Washington is only good for #2. Brittany goes with Teddy Roosevelt for #5. Chad likes Ike for #1. Can the Harts steal with Truman? No, the Chicks get 88. Other answer: JFK.

Round 2: something a hiker hates to discover that he forgot to pack in his backpack (6). Vanessa gets #1, water. Rest of the family gets clothes/boots and rope. Can the Harts steal with compass? Up there! The Harts have 64. Other answers: flashlight, matches.

Double Round: something that people buy for themselves that they try to hide as a business expense (full board). Dave buys a car for #2. Brittany gets #6, a plane ticket. Chad gets #3, a computer. Vanessa gets #5, clothes. Dave gets #1, dinner. No sweep this time, as we go to the Harts... "Office supplies." Got it! They have 230 to the Chicks' 88.

Triple Round: something you might ask someone to do to your back (4). Donna gets scratch for #2. Brittany gets #4, crack it. Jason gets #1, rub it. Dan and the Chicks want to scrub the back... Not there! The Harts win it, 515-88. Other answer: walk on it (said!).

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!

Jason and Donna try for the $20,000 today... and they do it, giving them $21,735 for three days.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Deborah Slattery (homemaker from New Orleans); $12,300

Andrew Segal (student orig., from Toronto)

Heather Pharo (writer from Manahawkin, NJ)

(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.)

Deborah is charged with getting a second win today. She starts with $400 Sports Movies. At the TV time out, Andrew has the lead, $3600 to Heather's $3200. Deborah is behind with $1400.

Heather finds the Daily Double under $600 Million Dollar Baby. In the lead, she bets $1000 on the father of Beauregard and Rhett. "Who is Margaret Mitchell?" Nope, it was Ted Turner, leaving her with $2800. She holds onto second with $5000 to Andrew's $5400, meanwhile Deborah at $3000 starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 TV Show Addresses, finding the first Daily Double under $1600 Writers' Relatives. She bets $2600 on Graham Greene's distant relative. "Who is Robert Louis Stevenson?" Right for $10,000 even! Andrew gets the second Daily Double, a video under $1600 Where Am I? He bets $2000, and here's Jimmy. "I'm in this city, whose air used to look different until a movement called The Renaissance after World War II." "What is... Berlin?" Nope. Pittsburgh puts Andrew at $7800. He ends in third with $9800 to Deborah's $11,600. Heather has the lead with $12,600, but not by much.

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

Final Jeopardy! in "Military Traditions": at a military funeral, the American Flag is folded this many times to resemble a Revolutionary War soldier's hat. Correct response: What is 13?

Deborah is right, giving her $16,000. It's on Heather now... and she's wrong, giving Deborah the win with $28,300 for two days.

Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery

Roomies Michael (public speaker) & Danielle (in advertising)

Best friends Ed (photographer) & Dani (travel writer)

Ed & Dani steal GOLFS to start. Michael & Danielle return the favor with BREED. Ed & Dani re-return the favor with TARDY. The drum makes all returns moot with a red stopper. Michael & Danielle feel FAINT after their Lingo, giving them 100 to Ed & Dani's 50. They're not done yet, though, as they get CACTI, but they draw red. Dani is a WRECK after Michael & Danielle steal MOANS. They lead it, 150-75 at the half.

The Yellows start off round two with an ALBUM and the ? ball Lingo, giving them 300 to the Reds' 75. Ed & Dani get PURSE. Michael & Danielle steal STAFF, but draw red. Ed & Dani get BASIL, but it's not enough even with the Lingo. By a score of 350-275, Michael & Danielle win it.

With three letters in Bonus Lingo, Michael & Danielle get SWEAT, MOGUL, DRUGS, miss CREDO, then get BLOCK and WALTZ for five. Ten large when Michael draws 19 first. And it.... doesn't happen. Danielle doesn't get it either. Time for $5000. Got it!

The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker

It's Friday. Let's make this one count!

Contestant Imani Rai, after capturing a Strong Pools & Spas sauna ($2195) became one of the lucky few to play a non-car game for a car...in this case, the game was Squeeze Play for a Ford Focus ZX3SE. From a setup of 1-9-7-1-6-2, she removed the 9 and won a $17,162 car.

Following her magnificent win, contestant Michelle Gilliam (no relation to Terry) played Any Number in textbook fashion. Calling every number from 0 to 5, she won a Dodge Caravan SE ($20,214) with only two mistakes. Her total, including a pair of surfboards and wetsuits was an outstanding $21,544.

In the second half, contestant James Miller, the letter "V" from a group spelling out, "WE LOVE BOB", nailed a perfect $1000 bid on a Tama drum set. His game: Switcheroo, and a collective groan came from the multitudes out there in Television Land. After placing his blocks the first time, and taking the whole of the first 30 seconds, he had three prices right. Bob offered another 30 seconds, James took a moment to look them over, and with NO HELP from the peanut gallery made only one change and won the whole kit-n-kaboodle: A Pontiac Vibe, a calculator/radio/clock combo, a Libman cleaning package, a retro-phone, and an automatic coin sorter. His total take with IUFB and $500 bonus: $19,566.

Gilliam, and Freeze Frame winner Nancy Strubeck advanced to the Showcases as Top Winner and Runner-Up. The first showcase, consisting of a Dell computer with printer, a 6-night trip to New Zealand, and a Ford Explorer XLS 4-by-2, was kept by Gilliam. Her bid: $26,000. Strubeck's Showcase; a Sklar Peppler living room, Hibernia Woolen Mills carpeting, and a Yamaha snowmobile; received a bid of $18,530. Gilliam's Showcase totaled $44,164, for a difference of over $18,000. No way she could possibly with with a difference like that, right? Well, there was one way...and that was for Nancy to overbid...which she did to the tune of just over $2000. Michelle's total take on the day: $65,708.

Fan notes: Rich was sporting a brown suit today, and someone better but Dr. Senay on some milk cartons right soon.

STATS: 4/6; $112,954

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time: 12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca

We start off Friday with 5 items, but no one to price them. That changes as Count Manuel and Countess Abigail come to suck some blood (or at least some face) as they try to win a trip to Reno worth $1,340. The items are Scotch Tape, Century Air Freshener, Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Kingsford Charcoal Lighter and Cascade. The couple starts off with $50, and will get more money with each right guess - but they have to get them all right to spell V-I-A-J-E. They get the tape for free and we start with the Freshener, which they have to get within $2,00, Guess - $3.00. Price - $1.99. Good enough. Next - the Lysol, and the boundary is $1.50. Guess - $3.00, Price - $2.96. Let's go on to the Charcoal, and they have to be within a buck. Guess - $4.00. Price - $3.99. They are doing excellent as we go to the Cascade - and they have to get it within 50 cents. Guess - $3.50. Price....wait a second. Guillermo offers them a box to boil out, but they won't do it. inside the box - a refrigerator worth $797, which is nice, but they did the right thing if they are within 50 cents. They...are not, as the Cascade is $4.98. No trip for them, but they do walk off with $50.

Amelia wants to do better than $50, and she could if she wins a color TV, love seat and audio system worth $1,106. Guillermo asks her how much everything was - and Amelia has no clue, guessing $1,300. No gifts for her, and we are 0 for 2.

We're going to be giving out money next, as we have 8 numbered bills. Adan the cowboy wants bill #5, while Edgar the pope wants bill #8. Bill #1, which they both get, is $100. Bill #2 is $100. Bill #3 is $50. Bill #4 is $50. Adan can bail out of his bill if he wants the Curtain, but he doesn't. He turns down a set of scales and a treadmill worth $1,199, but he has a bill. Now it's Edgar's opportunity to trade for Curtain #3, but he wants his bill, too. Behind Curtain #3 is a trip to the Tratolandia Surgery room, complete with Dummy and ChascoDoctor. Bill #6 is $100. Bill #7 is $100. Adan gets Bill #5, which is $1,000 for a total of $1,100! Edgar gets Bill #8, which is ALSO $1,000! We FINALLY get some winners...

...which is good, because the Gran Trato is over $4,000. Adan gives the money right back, but Edgar sits down with his $1,100. The count and countess decide to go for the Deal, but Adan gets the first choice with #2. The couple want door #3, but we first see door #1, which no one took - hence no one is getting $700. Adan is not getting the Gran Trato either, but he is getting...Peter Lamas? He's getting a makeover from him and a huge set of goodies worth $3,100! Nice, but not as nice as The Gran Trato, which today is a new dining room with tables and lamps worth $4,407! The Count and Countess will be feasting tonight, while I will be giving you more morsels on Monday.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

Going into today's show, Ann Rusin (Cincinnati, OH) has $4,000 and 2 lifelines available. How much farther can she go?

After a brief mention of the tattoo that Ann wants to get rid of, it is revealed that not only is her husband Mark in the audience, but he, according to her, apparently has a crush on Meredith. Mark says something about Portuguese soup, and Meredith assures Ann that she has nothing to worry about. Soon enough, they get back to the game with this $8,000 question...

What novelist's best-known protaganists include Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse and Elinor Dashwood?
A: Emily Brontë
B: Virginia Woolf
C: Jane Austen
D: Edith Wharton

Ann decides to call Sharon, her sister, and she says that she's 70% sure it's C. Ann goes with it... and she's right! Moving on to $16,000...

On the final episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond," Ray undergoes surgery to have what removed?
A: Mole
B: Wisdom teeth
C: Appendix
D: Adenoids

Ann uses the 50:50, which leaves C and D. After considering her options, and knowing that either way, she'll have the $1,000 needed to remove that tattoo, she goes for it. She says D... and that's worth $16,000! But at the $25,000 question, when asked what U.S. state opened a tourism office in China in 2004, Ann decides to stop right there, not knowing that it's Nevada. She takes home $16,000, and that tattoo of hers is going bye-bye!

Next on the list is Bill Gersten (Denver, CO), and in preparing for this moment, his apartment is literally littered with post-its all over, each with a different bit of trivia. He'd better hope that nothing comes up that weren't on those post-its. Anyway, he starts by knowing that it's usually illegal to park a car next to a fire hydrant by a sidewalk. Bill has to ask the audience on the $200 question, though, to find out that "Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat" is an example of a tongue twister (88% of the studio audience and 77% of the AIM poll gave the answer). After that, he breezes through a set of questions, before reaching this one for $8,000...

In 2005, what Oscar presenter huffily informed host Chris Rock that Jude Law is "one of our finest actors"?
A: Sean Penn
B: Tim Robbins
C: John Travolta
D: Johnny Depp

Bill uses the 50:50, and now had just A and D to choose from. He then chooses to call Kristina, his Goddaughter. Kristina isn't 100% sure, but she thinks it's A. Bill goes with it... and it's A! On the next question, though, Bill makes a mistake, thinking that an antimacassar, a decorative piece of cloth, is most often used to protect coffee tables from stains (it actually protects armchairs). That ends his run, and sends him home with $1,000.

And with that, we're done for the week. A new contestant will get a shot at some cash on Monday.
