STAY TUNED...
 
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Harper (Tia, Avi, Kenna, Gynneth, Anton)
Killinger (Kirk, Jennifer, Dawn, Lesley, Diane); $845

Can the Killingers make a killing in Fast Money this time? We'll see. First, a word. If the challengers look familiar, they were brought back due to a technicality from last season. Round 1: something the Christmas spirit makes you feel like doing (5). Tia sings at #2, while Kirk dresses the tree at #4. Kenna gets #1, the gifts. Anton gets #5, baking. Can the champs steal with the church? Nope. Harpers remember how this goes; they get the 74. Other answer: dancing/partying.

Round 2: something that starts with the word "pay" (6). Avi gets #2, payday. Jennifer does her one better with paycheck. Rest of the family gets... not much else. The Harpers try "Payless". Shoes, up there? Yes! They get 134. Other answers: payment, payback, Paypal.

Double Round: a celebrity that is hounded by the paparazzi (5). Kenna gets #4, Britney Spears. Gynneth gets #1, Tom Cruise. Brad Pitt and Paris Hilton also make the survey. Killingers go with Michael Jackson. Wacko Jacko, up there? Yes! They get 128. All of a sudden, we've got a game.

Triple Round: something that's known as a blood sucker (4). Lesley gets #1, a leech. Vampire's up there. Mosquito's up there. What else? The Harpers go with... fleas? Not there! The Killingers win it, 383-134. Other answer: tick, said by Gynneth.

Buy the DVD game, durn it. Diane must've been practicing on it, as she got 145 from four number ones for "an article of clothing you wear over and over again without washing" (coat), "on average, how many times do you kiss your spouse" (three), "a superhero that doesn't fly" (Spider-Man), and "a country the US fought a war against" (Iraq). Kirk also gets the job done, giving the family $20,845 for two days.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Monica Vidrio (graduate student orig. from Ventura, CA); $8000
Caleb Whitaker (executive recruiter from Asheville, NC)
Andy Rosenberg (sales manager from Morristown, NJ)

Can the student teach two more grown'uns a thing or two, or will Caleb or Andy put her in her place? She starts with $200 Hello Kitty... and just because we can... and for the fact that the category has nothing to do with it and we feel kinda cheated about it...

Andy finds the Daily Double early, under $1000 Cars. In last place, he opts to tie on the Porsche model premiering at the 1953 Paris Motor Show. "What is the Spider?" He ties Caleb at $2200 at the break, while Monica has $1800. She slips a bit to $1600 at the half, while Caleb moves a bit with $2400. Andy is way ahead with $5200, but it's the champ who starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 South of the Equator. After getting a visit from Crazy Uncle Jeff (he used to host something like this, remember?), we get a Daily Double under $2000 Literary _____ of _____. Andy bets the level on "Kurtz--that means short in German--don't it?". "Don't know." It was "Heart of Darkness", giving Andy $6000. Monica, who was struggling the entire game, finds the second Daily Double under $2000 It Happened One Knight. Still in third with $2400, she bets $1500 on the leader of the "Reconquista" until his head in 1099. "Who is Don Quixote?" Nope. El Cid leads Monica to $900. That's where she'll end. Caleb has $1200, while it's Andy's to lose with $14,000

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

Final Jeopardy! in "15-Letter Anagrams": someone chatting about preserving natural resources is these 2 similar words, anagrams of each other. Correct response: What are conservationist and conversationist?

Monica was queen for a day... and it looks like Andy will sew this up with $13,000 in his stash. Monica leaves with $9000.

BTW: thank Mindy Bender for suggesting the above joke. I'm going to have to tell her that it didn't work.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery
I will admit that after yesterday's show, I was scared... That said... It's "Extreme Dodgeball Lingo" time!
 
Co-host Zach Selwyn (playing for cancer research) & mascot Dodgy (playing for Scott Anderson Diabetes Awareness)
Reporter Michele Merkin (playing for American Cancer Society) & co-host Bil Dwyer (playing for Glen Oaks Foundation)

We start off with the Dream Job dude and a giant red ball (this cannot bode well). Zach & Dodgy get DUCKS. Michele & Bil steal CLEAR on a gimme. And Zach & Dodgy say "gimme" after Michele draws red. Zach & Dodgy get GRANT, and Zach draws the Lingo, giving them 100 to the Reds' 25.

After the break, we learn that Chuck and Bil have come full circle, as Bil "ate it hard" on Scrabble a few years back. Back to Zach & Dodgy, who score on THROW, but, how apropos is this, the big red ball draws a little red ball. Michele & Bil are BEING sniped by Zach & Dodgy with ADDED. They end the round in the lead, 150-50.

Remember, balls drop every Tuesday at 10p ET on this very network. Now to round 2. Zach & Dodgy get TRADE and trade up for a Lingo, giving them 300 to 50. And they're still not done yet. They get FLARE. Zach: "No Whammies." That's another show. COURT follows, and Zach & Dodgy deliver the biggest whuppin' since the two Marc(k)s back in 2003. Final score: Zach/Dodgy 400, Michele/Bil 50. Michele & Bil leave with $1000 for their charities each.

With four letters in Bonus Lingo (one for winning the game, two for the Lingoes, and one because this is a charity game), Zach & Dodgy get GOOSE, MYTHS, FOXES, CLOCK, WIPED, and BARKS for six. That's worth $6000 and six balls. Zach & Dodgy are stuck in season 3 mode, but a 43 will get them $10,000. ... And there's Dodgy with the 4-3. That's $10,000 a piece for their charities.

Tomorrow, poker players go all-in against poker show hosts.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Jocelyn Drew-Harris bid $1350 on almost everything they offered today. Unfortunately, it would never pay off.

It would for Sgt. Salvatore Cavallo, a decorated soldier, who would find his biggest battle against the Let'em Roll ramp. After getting his three rolls, he rolls his way to a Chevrolet Cobalt to take his washer/dryer home. But first, he rolls his way into the Showcase.

.. Where he takes on Mary Ann Kirby, the "youngest contestant on Johnny Olsen's Princess Show". She gets a wine secretary and a chance at $10,000 to stock it with playing Punch-a-Bunch. After winning punches from a sound machine, stand mixer, and toaster, she gives up the $50... she gives up the $1000.... only to end up with $5000!

First Showcase sees the lovely Ms. Osbourne turn Italian with kitchen appliances, an MP3 jukebox, and a trip to Rome (obviously). Salvatore, content with just having Italian blood, passes to Mary Ann, who bids $13,460, a $1966 difference. Salvatore gets to be a hero with a range, a hot tub, and a ski boat. Content with being an American hero won't stop him from bidding $33,200, even if Bob has to be the bad guy in telling him that he's over. Mary Ann is the princess today with $21,775 in cash and prizes.

Other winners:
Larry Dixon from Alabama: luggage set; trips to Maui & Montreal winning Switch?
Muath Alambay: bracelet, $246 playing Money Game
Shelly Lucas: pendulum swing
Donna Frye: grill

Stats: 2/6, $52,217 given away today.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
We start this episode with the mysterious woman in black, the mysterious Llerona, who is missing some pictures of her kids. We continue with Rosa as Cleopatra and Martita as a potted plant. Guillermo shows both ladies three boxes - one of them leads to cookware and a stove for a total of $1,969! To get that stuff, they have to select the box with the pictures of Llorena's children. Rosa wants box #2 and Martita wants box #3. In box #1... a CD player and Serena DVD worth $499, which means that someone has the photograph's of the kids of Llerona, and hence the goodies. Behind Box #3 - not the keys, but a $600 certificate for Route 66 gas. That goes to Martita, but Rosa has the pictures, and hence the $1,969 goodies!

Who wants some Vitacilina? Harold the Arabian Knight does, and he has whatever money is in there...or he can have the big box. He keeps the Vitacilina, and gives up some power tools worth $665. Inside the Vitacilina today - $250. Not awful, but not as good as the tools.

We have more money to give away, and Guillermo invites Julie the fairy and Loralee the witch to select one of 8 bills on the table. Loralee wants #1 while Julie wants #4. Loralee can trade her bill for Curtain #1 and she does so, getting a new barbecue and hammock combination for $663. That's a good thing, because her bill was only worth $20. Bill 2 - $200. Bill 3 - $50. Bill 8 - $50. Bill 4 belongs to Julie unless she wants curtain #3. She does not want it, but then Guillermo offers her $400. She doesn't want it. Behind the curtain - a Chasco Swamp Monster! Bill 5 - $100. Bill 6 - $100. Bill 7 - $1,000. Bill 4 - $20. Julie turned down the $400 and only got $20. Oh well.

We go back to see if anyone wants a shot at more than $5,000 in the Gran
Trato. Rosa and Loralee both comply. Rosa wants door #2 and Loralee wants door #3. We start, however, with door #1 and $850. We continue with door...#3, which has an entertainment armoire and color TV worth $2,127 for Loralee. That leaves Rosa with the Gran Trato - luggage, watches and a a trip to Cancun worth $5,070. now Rosa can be treated like a real queen - or at least feel like one in Cancun.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Eric Leonard (Chicago, IL) made it up to $1,000, lifelines intact. Will he reach the million?

It seems that Eric is referred to at his workplace as Darth Vader, because he is sometimes responsible for firing people. Good thing there's no need to fire anyone here. Anyway, as they pick up where they left off, Eric correctly answers that it was Jane Fonda whose appearance in "Monster-in-Law" got a Vietnam vet in Kentucky to ban the film from a couple of theaters. Soon enough, this $8,000 question appears...

In 2005, Angelina Jolie adopted her second child, a baby girl named "Zahara" from what country?
A: Sierra Leone
B: Ethiopia
C: Somalia
D: Republic of the Congo

Eric decides to ask the audience. The studio audience vote is a little close, with 47% saying B and 39% saying C. The AIM poll is more decisive, though, as 51% say B and 29% say C. Eric starts to go with B, but decides to use the 50:50 first. A and B remain. Now he goes with B... and it's B! On to $16,000...

What explorer's memoirs, known as "Il Milione," had critics who claimed it was full of a million lies?
A: Juan Ponce de Leon
B: Marco Polo
C: Christopher Columbus
D: Ferinand Magellan

Eric calls Laurie, a cousin, for help, but unfortunately, she wasn't able to give an answer. So, he has to walk and take home $8,000. Good thing, too, since he was leaning towards D, though the answer was B.

Up next is Jason George (Chicago, IL), who works with the "Tribune" in Chicago. He had 2 reasons to go to New York; Millionaire, and the fact that his girlfriend Erin still lives there. Yes, she's in the audience. And she says she's going with him when he heads back home this time. Jason starts off by knowing that someone who is trying to "make ends meet" is struggling with money. He then goes through some more questions, including one that asks what sport's most famous event was nicknamed the "Tour de Lance" thanks to its 7-time champ (Cycling). He eventually gets to this question worth $4,000...

Commonly served with a dill and mustard sauce, gravlax is a Swedish dish made with what raw seafood?
A: Oysters
B: Shrimp
C: Salmon
D: Scallops

Jason goes to the audience, and 61% of the studio audience picks C, while the AIM poll is scattered. 35% say D, 27% say A, and 24% say C. Jason decides to go with the majority of the studio audience and says C... and they're right! Then, for $8,000, Jason uses the 50:50 to help determine that the designer label Oliver Peoples is best known for its trendy line of eyewear (this could also show doubters out there that the 50:50 is random, as one of the answers he ruled out beforehand was still there). After that, he gets this for $16,000...

In 2004, Paige Davis from "Trading Spaces" played against type with a sultry role in what Broadway show?
A: 42nd Street
B: Rent
C: The Producers
D: Chicago

Jason decides to call Glen, a co-worker, and... Wait a minute. Is that typing I hear on the phone? It sounds like Glen might be using a search engine on the Internet during the 30 seconds! Well, thanks to this, at the last few seconds, Glen comes up with D, saying he's 100% sure. Jason goes with D, and it's right! Then, on the next question, when asked which vitamin is classified as a hormone, Jason guesses that it's Vitamin A, but it's not; it's Vitamin D. That sends Jason home with $1,000.

And that wraps up the show for today. New contestant tomorrow.
