100 Mexicanos Dijeron by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Cloesmeyer (Marie, Joanne, Ronnie, Jeff, Ron) from New York
Killinger (Kirk, Jennifer, Dawn, Lesley, Diane); $20,845, two days

The Killingers are trying to send the Cloesmeyers back to New York. Round 1: something people fall out of (6). Marie fires with #2, bed. Kirk gets the number one, love. Also making the board: an airplane, car, couch... but the Cloesmeyers try to steal 87 with window. Not there. The Killingers get 87. Other answer: boat.

Round 2: if you were told to evacuate the house immediately, the first thing you would grab (6). Jennifer gets #2, the kids. Joanne gets #4, photos. Dawn gets #3, pets. Can the Cloesmeyers snatch the points with "wallets"? Documents were said... but wallet's number one for 48! Other answers: clothes, documents/papers.

Double Round: 100 married women asked a place where your husband spends so much time, he might as well live there (full board). Dawn gets #1, work, because Ronnie prematurely buzzed. Also on the board: bar, garage, and bathroom. Marie thinks that the gym is up there... It ain't. Killingers have 205. Other answers: golf course (said), basement.

Triple Round: something around the house that you empty (4). Lesley gets #1, the trash. Dishwasher's also up there, but it goes to the challengers, who try with refrigerator. Not there, the Killlingers win it, 475-48. Other answer: ashtray (said), ice cube tray.

Diane & Kirk try for another $20,000 in Fast Money. She gets the number one on the longest time you've been on hold (15 minutes) and something you might see right outside a supermarket (baskets). She gets 89. Kirk gets the number one for a product you buy for the bathroom (toilet roll), but it isn't to be. And you learn something new every day... Apparently four people think you see picketers outside a supermarket. In any case, another $655 goes into the family bank, giving them $21,500 for three days.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Andy Rosenberg (sales manager from Morristown, NJ); $13,000
Jeanie Kyle (student orig. from Conway, AR)
Tom Streit (real estate lawyer from Jupiter, FL)

Andy inherits the champion gloves, and he'll use them to fight Jeanie and Tom. Andy starts with $200 Roadside America. We go to $800 Elementary, My Dear for the Daily Double. Jeanie my dear bets the full $1000 on the two most abundant elements dissolved in seawater. "What are sodium and chlorine?" That's right for the tie with Tom, giving her $1200. The tie would last almost the entire round as Tom broke away with $2800 to Jeanie's $1800 at the half. Andy once again breaking away from the pack early at $7000, but it's the student who opens Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 ... And Twins! (the earlier category was "We Love Football on TV"... here's to love songs), finding the Daily Double, the first of two, under $800 All The World's a Stage. Jeanie fronts $1200 on the playwright of Nicomaco in "Clizia". "Ungh... Florentine... Who is Michelangelo?" Not right. Nicomaco is Niccolo Machiavelli, leaving her with $2600. Andy finally finds a Daily Double under $2000 Long Words. He bets $3000 on "13 letters: a journey by foot, not falcon." "Don't know." It was a peregrination, leaving Andy still in the lead with $13,600. He ends the game in the same way with $16,800. Tom has $5200, while Jeanie has $600.

Final Jeopardy! in "The 1980s": on May 18, 1980, its height was reduced from 9677 feet to 8364 feet. Correct response: What is Mount St. Helens?

Jeanie and Tom are right, but Andy can't be caught. Sure he had a brain fart, but he had enough cash to lock in the victory. And he does so with $15,800, giving him a second-day total of $28,800.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery
Yesterday wasn't as scary as Monday... something about red balls. Anyway, it's time to shuffle up and deal with "Poker Royale: Pros vs. Hosts" on Lingo!
 
Hosts Lisa Dergan (playing for Alzheimer's) & John Ahlers (playing for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Orange County)
Pros Kathy Liebert (playing for Habitat for Humanity) & Kenna James (playing for Elma House of Monroe, MI)

Hmm... so THAT's what John Ahlers looks like. He and Lisa start it off with an S, but it SWINGs Kathy & Kenna's way. Lias & John return the favor with CHIPS. Kathy & Kenna re-return the favor with FUDGE, but Kenna comes up red. They get the draw back with DEALT and the Lingo. They lead, 125-25, but they get another 25 from GREED, Chuck. Looks like Kenna's a fan. They follow with TOPIC and another red ball as they lead it, 175-25 at the half.

Look out for the new season of Poker Royale next Friday at 10p ET.  Now to round 2. Lisa & John get an A... for effort, because Kenna gets ANKLE. He Lingos and loses his hat, giving the Reds 325 to the Yellows' anemic 25. Lisa & John get BADGE and finally Lingo for 175 to 325. Kathy & Kenna get QUEEN, but Kathy draws red. Lisa gets LATCH on the first shot. Doesn't matter, though, as they win it, 375-225. Lisa & John donate a grand each for their charities.

With four letters in Bonus Lingo (one for winning the game, two for each Lingo, and one because this is a charity game), Kathy & Kenna get STUDY, GREET, WAXED, PANDA, AWFUL, FOLDS, COMBS, and LINEN for eight. That's worth $800 and eight balls. A 44 will get them $10,000. Kenna's feeling lucky.. but he gets a bad break, 54... Kathy makes up for it with the Lingo for $5000.

And speaking of bad breaks, two Ballbreakers champs take on two Ballbreakers hosts next time.

 
The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Another slow day at 7800. Here's what happened:

Contestant Kathy McCree, after snagging a Beach Baracuda Water Bike ($1595), had a $2100 limit to work with in Credit Card. Her first two purchases, $266 country music CD's and $255 Ebonite Bowling Equipment, she seemed to be free-wheeling...until she took the Corsican daybed valued at $1794. Over she went, and the day starts out 0 for 1.

Act 2 featured an HMS Victory model ship, valued at $999, captured by contestant Kyle Gelia (sic). His game: Pocket ¢hange for a Buick LeSabre Custom sedan. After only making two mistakes, taking the car up to 75¢, he drew a 50¢ envelope and won the car, valued at $27,831.

The only other win came in the next act. Contestant Joseph Carver, fellow Ohio University Bobcat and Marching 110 Drummer, captured an Intimate Gardener rocker, valued at $810, and a trip to Mazatlan in Squeeze Play (initial setup: 2 7 9 2 3), valued at $2923.

The other shine of today's show was contestant Ann Barkey's (sic) perfect bid of $575 on a Tee & Cue pool and golf combo table. Her game: Master Key for a PT Cruiser, Howard Miller floor clock, and Air-Way cookware. She only won one key, with a $21 Libman cleaning package. After trying the key in all three locks, she knew she drew the Dud Key and won nothing but her mop and brush.

In the Showcases, Kyle and Grand Game bust-out contestant Ingrid Garred. Kyle was hoping to get a boat in a Showcase. Instead, in the first Showcase, he bid on a collection of hot sauces, a big screen TV, and a Chrysler Sebring convertible. His bid: $32,350.

Ingrid's Showcase, showcasing "Failed Retail Chains" gave us gardening equipment from "Abercrombie & Ditch," a new range from "Best Fry," and a Fleetwood Pioneer 180CK trailer from "The Nap." Her bid, after some deliberation with the Peanut Gallery: $29,500.

Unfortunately, to go with the losing theme of today's show (outside of Pocket ¢hange and Squeeze Play), both Kyle and Ingrid overbid. Bob took his second trip to the audience of the 34th season today, and Rich, in his chocolate brown suit, fraternized with the Beauties.

STATS: 2,6; $36,979
 
Stump the Schwab by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  1:30a ET/12:30a CT on ESPN2
Hosts: Stuart Scott & Howie Schwab
This is just one of those things you don't know about until someone close to you e-mails you about it, but it's the third season of Pittsburgh jersey Schwabby goodness.
 
Adam Wallach (media buyer; New York City)
Vik Dalvi (recent MBA graduate; Culver City, CA)
Micah Hart (improv comedian in training, Atlanta)

We start with Leading Off, as we always do. First things first: the 16 NFC starting quarterbacks from Opening Game 2005. Adam's done at 1. Vik, Micah, and the Schwab sweep the rest with 5 each. Then up: the 12 players on the Utah Jazz '98 NBA Finals roster. Vik and Micah are done at 2, giving them 7 each. Adam is stalled at 3, giving him 1. The Schwab... in the lead with 9. Final Leading Off: the first 16 men inducted as players into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Adam is done at 1 and done for the game with only 5. Vik blacks out at 3, giving him 9. Micah has 4 for 10. Schwab is also out with 13.

From Leading Off, we go to Dodge the Schwab, where players can either one of six answer regular questions for 1 point or one of two Schwab-level questions for 2. You can either answer a Schwab or dodge it and pass it on, but if you get the question wrong, you lose a point. Landon Donovan is the first of the two Schwabs. He'll take it. He'll take it and run with it, matching the player with the San Jose Earthquakes of the MLS, giving him 2. Micah finds the second Schwab under Gordie Howe. He'll take it, having to ID the WHA team of Gordie, Mark, and Marty Howe from 1973 to 1977. The Hartford Whalers... wrong. It was the Houston Aeros, giving Vik the lead, 4-0... and the $1000 big prize, not to mention a seat against the Schwab in...

The Schwab Showdown. Vik says that he could "beat down the Schwab." We'll see, as he goes for another $5000 and a spot in the semi-final on the road to 50 grand. The categories this time: One Shining Moment (men's Final Four one-timers), You Complete Me (complete baseball games), Men of Steel (the Steelers), and Suit Up (uniforms & equipment). While we're reminded that the Schwab can't sing "One Shining Moment". Schwab gets his first strike on the 2-pointer in You Complete Me, having to answer two Blue Jay hurlers from 1997 (Roger Clemens & Pat Hinckley). Hugh Durham's '83 squad gives Vik his first strike in 2-point One Shining Moment (Georgia). Thirty complete games in a season gives the Schwab his second strike. Vik passes Suit Up for 3, but Schwab passes it back. Vik gets another strike. Next wrong answer is a loss. Vik gives Schwab Men of Steel for 3.

Question: Before changing their name to the Steelers in the early 1940s, what was the original nickname of Pittsburgh's NFL franchise? "Steegles" Night, Schwab. That's three. You're out. Vik wins the $5000, $6000 total. BTW: correct answer: Pittsburgh Pirates. We'll see Vik later in the season

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
Juan & Melinda and Claudia & Miguel are both couples - and they both get selected by Guillermo to play the first game of the day. Both couples get $50 from Guillermo - and are told that they can win more if they are closer to pricing the following products - Turtle Wax, Rust-Oleum auto Primer and Quaker State Motor Oil. We're not getting a car motif here, are we? Anyways, $300 goes to the winner of each item. The Turtle Wax...Juan - $9.00, Miguel - $5.00 and the price is...$4.98, so $300 to Miguel. Now for the Rust-Oleum...Miguel - $3.00, Juan - $5.00 and the price is...$3.54, so another $300 to Miguel. Finally, the Morot Oil...Juan - $3.00, Miguel - $1.50 and the price is...$1.74, so Juan gets all $900 for a total of $950, while Juan has a paltry $50.

Now that the men have gotten the money, the women can decide to spend it. Melinda can spend the $50 on Curtain #3, which of course she does... but she gets a Stuffed Donkey carrying a ChascoAlien dragging a cardboard saucer. Does Claudia want to spend her $950 on Curtain #2? She does not, and she misses out on a $1,199 refrigerator and a $500 SmartCash Card. Still, $950 is a nice total.

We get a quick visit to the Trato Hecho Cash Register with Rigo. The register has 5 buttons. If he finds the one that has $1, he will win a sofa/TV combo worth $1,149. Rigo selects button #3, which isn't $1, but it is $500, which is a nice prize. The magic $1 was under button #4.

No more cash registers, but we have a brown stuffed gorilla and a pink stuffed gorilla. Carlos gets to select one, and whatever gorilla he doesn't want goes to Socorro. Carlos wants the pink one, which is his, unless he wants $400. He doesn't, and instead he gets what's under the Gorilla, which says BOX, and in the Box is a...beauty sculpture with the head cut out for a Chasco! Socorro is offered $400, but she wants the Gorilla, which is connected to an envelope that has...$1,000! A very bouncy Socorro grabs the money and is thrilled.

Will she be even more thrilled with the Gran Trato? She will be, as she goes for it. Joining her will not be Claudia and Miguel, as they keep the $950. Rigo wants to go for it and gives back the $500. Socorro wants door #2 while Rigo wants door #3. We start with door...#2, as Socorro trades down to $700. Next up is door #3, is Rigo gets an armoire with TV worth $2,023. That's nice, but not as nice as bags, luggage, watches and a trip to Puerto Vallarta worth $4,050, which was the Gran Trato for today. Well, if it makes you feel better, Rigo, I would have preferred the armoire.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Last time, we had someone who ended up with just $1,000. Can the next contestant do better?

Her name is Beth Zoller (Livingston, NJ). She is a fast-talking lawyer who gave birth to twins 14 weeks before this taping. And during her pregnancy, she watched this show. Can she fast-talk her way to a million dollars? Beth begins by knowing that someone who adds alcohol to the punch bowl at a high school dance is spiking it. She has a good run, moving through questions such as one which asks who has the authority to issue a "gag order" upon the media (a judge), and one which asks what holograms, 3-D images found on some credit cards, are usually created with (lasers). Then, along comes this one for $8,000...

Which of these misspelled adjectives is not also the stage name of a best-selling hip-hop artist?
A: Fabolous
B: Mystikal
C: Xkwizit
D: Ludacris

Beth asks the audience, and 49% of the studio audience says C, while 46% of the AIM users agree. Beth goes with them... and they're right! Moving on to this $16,000 question...

What pasta's name literally means "little turnips" in Italian?
A: Tagliatelle
B: Ravioli
C: Fettuccine
D: Manicotti

Beth reasons why she won't use the 50:50 at this point, before making the decision to call her friend Steve. Her fast-talking allows for plenty of time for Steve to come up with an answer, and he's about 80% sure that it's B. Beth trusts him and says B... and it's B! She then gets this question, worth $25,000...

Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade mysteries are set in the seamy underside of what U.S. city?
A: Chicago
B: New York City
C: Los Angeles
D: San Francisco

Before making a decision, Beth says that she has a feeling that it's A. But she's not sure enough, so she uses the 50:50. Guess what? A is removed, and so is B. Good thing she didn't just go for it. With that, Beth has no idea, so she walks. The answer was D, but $16,000 is a good amount of money for a day's work.

Getting the next shot in the hot seat is Michelle Duran (New York, NY), and she happens to be 8 months pregnant during the taping. She is due to give birth to a baby boy about 6 weeks after. Michelle's road to a possible million starts by knowing that in a nursery rhyme, "Mary, Mary, quite contrary" is asked "How does your garden grow?" After that, she also moves along quite well, knowing, among other things, that it's Toblerone that is famous for its triangular-shaped packages. Soon enough, though, she gets this $4,000 question...

Operated by Google, Froogle is a search engine specifically designed to help you do what?
A: Make new friends
B: Find jobs
C: Write term papers
D: Shop

Michelle has an idea, but she asks the audience, just to be safe. 74% of the studio audience and 71% of the AIM users go with D. Good enough for Michelle, who was leaning toward D, and is now going with it... and it's right!

That's it for today. Michelle will return tomorrow for more.
