TRIPLE a tool with which people might injure themselves.
1. Hammer 43
2. Knife 29
3. Saw 22
4. Scissors 3


The Browns would win again after the Haaz ladies couldn't get #2 or #4 for the steal on the last survey which would have sent the game to sudden death after thinking of an axe.

Will & Sherman play Fast Money once again. Will is a very good job with his answers, as his answers scored 136. Sherman had a prayer to win it with three answers and they now have a two-day total of $20,935.

Fast Money #1 answers
- When it comes to catching a man's eye, at what ages a woman feel invisible?: Age 40 (Will) & 50 were tied
- Something you'd see in a jail cell: Inmate
- Besides turkey, a dish served at Thanksgiving: Dressing (Sherman)
- A part of the body that's spelled with three letters: Eye (Will)
- Something people are witness to: Murders/Crime (Will)


In the nightcap, we got two new families playing; the Brown family playing against the Ianitello family. The Ianitellos would shutout the Browns after sweeping on the last survey on naming something you might do until your stomach hurts which were laugh, eat, sit-ups/exercise and drink/beer.

Mike & Jeff will take their chances playing Fast Money. Mike had some good answers at the start, but went light at the end to score a reasonable 109. Jeff had no problems thinking quickly to get the job done getting the last two answers as #1s and to win their $20,000.

 

Flea Market Flip Premiere
by Chico Alexander

HGTV: Friday 9p/8C & 9:30p/8:30C
Host: Lara Spencer
In HD Where AvailableOfficial Website
 

The old phrase goes, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." In this new game show, one man's trash could lead one of two teams to a treasure of $5000.

Jennifer & Susan
sisters
Vanessa & Bao
best friends

The teams will get a Flip List of three projects, $500 seed money, and one hour to shop at a flea market.

FLIP LIST:
1) RETRO DESIGN: Update a vintage furniture piece
2) FABRIC PROJECT: Create a design piece from fabric
3) UGLY DUCKLING: Transform an eyesore into a chic design

Jennifer & Susan spend $25 on a side table, $20 on scarf fabric, and $75 on something that looks like a pair of ottomans. Bao & Vanessa spend $150 on a Wakefield dresser, $45 in a birdcage, $30 on linens, and $50 on a Civil-War-era chair that's seen better days. They'll put some new life into these projects to sell at Brooklyn Flea. Of course, helping them out are a team of HGTV craftsmen, because they will have only ONE day to transform these eyesores.

The next day, the teams head to Brooklyn Flea to sell their wares. The team that comes back with the highest take will take home $5000.

Jennifer & Susan's ottoman sells for $250. Vanessa & Bao's lamp and chair go for $200. Their Wakefield dresser sells for $475, for a total take of $675. Jennifer & Susan have 30 minutes to sell $425 in stuff. They try and sell everything for $426. Way to be obvious. The fabric headboard goes for... $200. One ottoman and a side table remaining... and they sell for $225.01, and Jennifer & Susan win the $5000.


In the nightcap, sisters Lisa & Katie take on friends Nissa & Anson. Their list includes upholstery, lighting, and repurposing an old thing for a new use. Nissa & Anson's stuff takes home $1200. Lisa & Katie.... $1212.44! That's a small difference but a big win.

Erica starts with $200 2-Word Responses. Going into the TV timeout, the champ is on $3200. Brendan is $1000 back at $2200, while Stephanie is stumbling out of the gate on $400.

Brendan finds the Daily Double under $1000 North Dakota. He fronts $1500 on this: this largest city of North Dakota was named for a pioneer in the shipment of goods by express. "What is Fargo?" .... is right for $5500! He ends the round there, while Erica has $5800. Stephanie has $3800 and will choose first in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Last "Dance". Brendan finds the first Daily Double under $1600 British Kings Named Edward. He bets $1200 on this: King Edward IV, a participant in the Wars of the Roses, was the son of Richard, duke of this side in the Wars. "What is York?" CORRECT for $12,500! Erica finds the other under $1600 Nonfiction. She bets $600 on this: it's John Krakauer's epic personal account of disaster on Mount Everest in 1996. She is stumped on "Into Thin Air", leaving her with $10,000 of betting money. Stephanie has $11,400, while Brendan leads it with $14,500.

One of the new wrinkles of season 29 is Military Week. If you are an active-duty full-time member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, YOU ARE TESTING October 9 at 8p ET. Go to Jeopardy.com or search the hashtag #JeopardyTest on Twitter for more information.

Final Jeopardy! in "Toys & Games": when Milton Bradley released this home game in 1966, competitors accused it to selling "sex in a box". Correct response: what is Twister?

Erica doubles... and Brendan bets enough to win $23,000! Erica leaves with $20,000.

All this summer, CBS was looking for men. They found three. We'll meet them in a moment, but first...

Roger Kim, Melissa Bechtold, John Parilo, and Sharilyn Edwards bid on an iPod touch. With two pairs of headphones, the $1197 package goes to Melissa, who gets a shot at $100,000 in Pay the Rent. Suave antiperspirant: $1.59.  Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauce ($1.99) and Twizzlers ($2.29) give us... $4.28. Bolthouse Farms carrot juice ($3.79) and Swans Down cake flour ($3.59) give us $7.38. She stops there, and it's a good thing, because the Whink cleaner was $5.49. The antiperspirant and the flour needed to be switched.

John gets a $1899 camera to take to Italy if he can win Squeeze Play. The board: 98583. He pulls the second 8... Should've pulled the first.

Roger wins a $770 kayak and a shot at a Dodge Charger in Pathfinder. He gets a $13 dust mop and a $30 hot drink maker, but only gets so far as a 276. The price: $27,615. The good news, he spins out $1000 on the Big Wheel.

Kathleen Wilson takes a $1889 bar set. Can she win an outdoor TV and a grill in the Bargain Game? The TV is marked $2095, the grill $2668. She takes the bigger markdown as the TV. The grill was $3668, the TV was $2395. A thousand beats $300.

Lindsey Warren wins a $760 Nintendo 3DS package. She'll take them in a Mini Cooper if she wins That's Too Much. She thinks $25,191 is too much, and.... that's WAY too much. It was $21,150.

Sharilyn has one more shot at it with a treadmill. The price: $2000. Winner: David Chrisman II. He could win a $2487 iMac, a $2800 pool table, and $3502 Coach purses & wallets. Which is the One Wrong Price? He picks the pool table. The price... $2800. The iMac is $1799. He'll try again in the Showcase.

First up, scuba gear, a trip to Belize, and a sport boat. Top winner David passes, and Roger bids $23,420. David gets a trip to Germany and a VW EOS convertible. David bids $35,000. Actual price: $48,635, a difference of $13,635. Actual price: $26,257, a game-winning difference of $2837 to take away $28,070.

Now back to the men that CBS was looking for... your final three for TPIR's Male Model Search. Congratulations to Clint Brink, Nick Denbeigh, and Rob Wilson. You can vote for your favorites at PriceIsRight.com until October 4, 11:59a ET.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Double Money Week
by Don Harpwood

Syn: Friday, check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
In HD Where AvailableOfficial WebsiteFacebookTwitterYouTubePlay Online
  John Exumé (Jamaica, NY) has $52,500 through 4 questions, as well as ATA and a Jump, to begin this episode.

[Q5 - Game Off]
Which of the following games was illegal in New York City from 1942 to 1976?
A: Darts
B: Ping Pong
C: Billiards
D: Pinball

John doesn't think D even existed back then. He asks the audience, and it's a close one between C (45%) and A (41%). That's too close for him, so he jumps this one. The answer is D (12%), and he doesn't get... $3,000.

He goes on to face this with $69,500 in his bank...

[Q8 - Math History]
In 2012, it can be said that what historic event took place "fourscore and seven years ago"?
A: Stock market crash
B: Scopes "Monkey" Trial
C: Repeal of Prohibition
D: End of World War I

John knows that that means 87 years ago. He says that A was 1929, and he believes that D was 1918. He also thinks that Prohibition started in 1929. However, in the end, he decides to walk. He was on the right track, though; the answer is B (it happened in 1925). Still, he does leave with $34,750!

Larisa Kline (Philadelphia, PA) - College student
Since letting her friends know that she was going to be on the show, they had been texting her a bunch of trivia questions.
Double Money: Q2

She nails that 2nd question, giving her $3,000 doubled to $6,000. She then jumps the 3rd and 4th, which had $500 and $25,000. She has $6,100 heading into this...

[Q5 - Scientific Statues]
A statue of scientist Nikola Tesla standing atop an AC motor can be seen by visitors at what tourist attraction?
A: Old Faithful
B: San Diego Zoo
C: Niagara Falls
D: Kennedy Space Center

Larisa says D... but it's C! That means she leaves with $1,000.

Glorie Austern (Secaucus, NJ) - Calligrapher
She watches the show every day.
Double Money: Q5

She jumps the 1st and 2nd questions, which had $7,000 and $2,000. After that is this...

[Q3 - One fish, two fish]
Known in Papua New Guinea as "the ball-cutter" due to its inclination to bite swimmers' testicles, what variety of fish was found in an Illinois lake in 2012?
A: Pacu
B: Wolffish
C: Electric eel
D: Neon tetra

Yeah, I don't know about you, but to me, it hurts just knowing that a fish called "the ball-cutter" exists. Anyway, Glorie eliminates C, but that's about it, so she turns to the audience. 55% say A. She trusts them, and they're right, giving her... $15,000!

[Q4 - U Know It]
Before there was YouTube, a u-tube was a device commonly used by which of these professionals?
A: Gardener
B: Barber
C: Chemist
D: Locksmith

Glorie doesn't think it's B or D. She thinks it could be C, but she's not sure enough, so she walks with $7,500. As it turns out, the answer is C.
