Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn

Craig (Christina, Emerald, Rachelle, Ryeisha, Shavonne); $20,000

Davis (Dusty, Nicole, Kim, Dusty, Drew)

Two Dustys. Unfortunately, none of them related to the Dusty who wrote here. Oh wellies. Round 1: something an obnoxious driver does. (7) Christina's horn beats Dusty's tailgate, 3-6. Emerald is platinum again with "cuts you off", the number one. The rest of the family gets yelling and flipping the bird, but can the Davises get the board with swerving? They had driving drunk... It's not there, but swerving is! Davises get 81. Other answer: speed.

Round 2: what might be the most famous hotel chain in America (5)? Emerald gets #3, Marriott. Nicole gets #1, the Hilton (of course). That's it for the Davises as the Craigs get the steal with hotel, motel, Holiday Inn. That's worth 61. Other answers: Best Western, Radisson

Double Round: a woman's name that starts with "V" (full board). Rachelle gets #1 (Victoria) to Kim's #2 (Vivian). Vanessa and Veronica also makes the survey, but can the Davises steal with Venus? Goddess of beauty and love.... not there. Other answers: Vera, Virginia. The Craigs lead, 227-81.

Triple Round: something in summer, something people like to do under a shady tree (4). Ryeisha gets #2, read, after the other Dusty prematurely buzzes. Shavonne gets #1, a nap. Kiss and picnic do it for the Craigs, 518-81.

Emerald and Rachelle take on the Fast Money board for the second time. Emerald only scores 53 this first go around. And Rachel gets them to $630 for today, $20,630 for two days.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Elizabeth Randisi (attorney from Webster, NY); $6900

Zeb Schobernd (marine biologist from Newport, OR)

Jason Richards (pharmacy technician from Old Town, ME)

Elizabeth's back, $6900 richer and still darn cute. But can she take an even bigger portion of Sony's money today? She starts with $200 Hard "Work". Jason, at $800, finds the Daily Double early under $400 Colleges & Universities. He bets the max of $1000 on the first of the Ivy League alphabetically. "What is Brown?" Right on for $1800. He parlays that to a blowout round with $12,600 to Elizabeth's $1600. Zeb, on the bad side of $1800, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 the Land Down Under. Working well with Movie Directors, Jason sticks with that until $1600, the first Daily Double. He bets $3000 of his $13,800 on the director of "Philadelphia Story." "Who is George Cukor?" That's right for $16,800. Going back to the Land Down Under, Jason finds the second Daily Double under $2000, and bordering on damn near impossible to catch, he bets $5500. "I have no earthly clue." You do now: located in a national park, it's about 1 1/2 miles long & rises 1,142 feet above the desert floor. "What is Ayers Rock?" Boo-yah! That's $35,100 in the bank. He leads at the end of regulation, $37,100. Well, that's an understatement if I ever heard one. The champ has $6000, and Zeb is still in it with $1400.

He can't eclipse the single-day record, but he can come damn near close. Final Jeopardy! in "Presidential Relatives": he defended civil rights as a representative form Massachusetts' 11th District from 1895 to 1901. Correct response: Who was John Francis Fitzgerald?

All three were thinking about Joe Kennedy, Sr.... All three are wrong. But still, it's enough to make Jason the new champ with $32,100. Elizabeth leaves, still cute as a button, with $8900.

Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Graduate student couple Marc & Hedi

Couple Jay (club manager) & Hilary (legal secretary)

Back to all-civ episodes with the couple vs. couple. Marc & Hedi get YAWNS, CLASS, and a steal from Jay & Hilary for GUTSY, followed by PLUSH and BEGAN. Marc & Hedi steal ERECT, but redball. Jay & Hilary capitalize on LATER, but another red ball pops up. Marc & Hedi capitalize with SLICE and a Lingo, giving them 150 to 100 for the reds at the end of round 1.

Round 2: Jay & Hilary get FLOORed for a Lingo, giving them 250 to the Yellows' 150. Time to drop it like it's hot, and they get to fill it with AMUSE. Marc & Hedi steal DODGE, but they can't dodge the stopper. Jay & Hilary get HOURS in minutes, followed by GLAZE and the Lingo, giving them the game, 500-200.

With three letters in Bonus Lingo, Jay & Hilary get WEARS and ALIGN for only two. That's worth $200 and two balls. A 52 will get them $10,000. Hilary gets the draw and gets... 40. Can Jay get it? YES! That's $5000.

The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

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

The show started off in fine fashion today. Contestant Benjamin Gallamore, after capturing an Ocean Kayak ($719), correctly marked down a PaceMaster treadmill, two Honda CRF motorcycles, and a Corsican brass cradle in Clearance Sale, netting $9502 in just one game.

Following Benjamin's wonderful Clearance Sale, Contestant Barbara Chapman captured a Magellan Roadmate vehicle navigation system, valued at $1499. Her game was Pathfinder for a Chevy Equinox ES. The board setup was as follows:

9 8 3 5 1
7 5 9 7 4
0 6[2]0 6
2 4 2 1 3
3 1 0 6 5
*Thanks to Golden-Road.net's daily recap for the board setup.

Her first two steps, to the 2 and the 4, were right on the money. On the fourth number, she stumbled...not once, not twice, but three times. Her step to 6 caused a play of a stand mixer, valued at either $90 or $120. She went with $90, and was wrong. Her following selection of a crepe maker, valued at either $20 or $30, netted her a $30 crepe maker, but another wrong step, to the 1. Chapman had to guess the price of a Hummer CD-Radio ($75 or $100) correctly to continue. Her guess of $75 got her to the 2, then to the 0, to win the second and final pricing game of the day.

The bottom fell out after the fantastic Pathfinder win. Contestant Alicia McCoy froze the wrong frame for a Beachcomber hot tub. Contestant May Taylor COULD HAVE hit the Hidden Bullseye, but bought way too many Finazzles. Contestant Theresa Dudley, after doing a little dance in front of Contestants Row, couldn't Line Up the price of a Ford Focus ZX4SE. Contestant Rebecca Murray misplaced the 1 Right Price on a his & her scuba set ($4227), and lost that and a Johnston Casuals bar set ($2910).

Then came the Showcases. Surely something good had to happen. Benjamin was Top Winner, and Theresa, our Line 'Em Up dancer, was Runner-Up. The first Showcase, showcasing the antics of Stogie Bear from Smellystone National Park, gave us a 20GB iPod, a Hatteras Roman Arc Hammock, and a Fleetwood Pioneer 180CK travel trailer. Benjamin passed off to Theresa, who bid $15,995.

The second Showcase gave us a Sklar Peppler living room with the obligatory Hibernia Woolen Mills carpeting, a Safenet Security home security system, and a 6 night trip to Singapore. Benjamin's bid: $14,000. Actual Retail Price of Ben's Showcase: $17,211. Off by only $3211. Sounds pretty good, right? Theresa's Showcase: $14,864, and over she goes. Benjamin walks away today's big winner with $27,432.

Fan Notes: No Dr. Senay (11 straight); Rich was sporting a light gray suit.

STATS: 2/6; $55,516

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

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

It's a new month. It's a new week. Guillermo needs some new contestants. Jose the walking painting will do just fine. Speaking of art work, we get...The Count of Monte Trato! (Oooooooooooh). Last, time, he had a nice prize - but what does he have this time? Jose can trade for Curtain #1, and what he doesn't want will go to Rosalia, who has a Guillermo shirt. Jose gives Rosalia Curtain #1, and Guillermo gives her $400 for it. Rosalia takes the money, and turns down a washer/dryer worth $1,098! But Rosalia has $400...

...and Jose still has the Count. Does he want the small box? What he doesn't want will go to Roberto. Jose sticks with the count and Guillermo will offer Roberto the same $400 that he gave to Rosalia. Roberto wants the box and he gets a nice watch worth $575, which Roberto seems to like.

Back to Roberto, and Guillermo now offers him $400 for the Count. Jose says no, and Guillermo increases the offer to $500. Jose still says no and he winds up with...a jugglers outfit, complete with outfit and badly juggled balls. Jose is the only one who gets stuck with a juggling Chasco!

Maria the punk rocker hopes not to get punked herself. She gets small box and inside is a clown's show. Is there something inside the shoe? Or would she prefer Curtain #3? Maria wants the Curtain, turning down the shoe - and the $600 Certificate worth of gasoline. Instead, she gets a cardboard doll house and a rocking horse, complete with a riding clown with a lasso. Maris did indeed get Pun...I mean Chasco'd.

Ramon the prisoner and Emilia the card player are up next. In front of them are 2 small boxes. Behind Box #1 is Vitacilina, and Guillermo gives both of them $50 - with another $400 to whoever's closer to the price of the Medicine. Emilia's guess - $1.50. Ramon says $2.50. The Price is $2.49 and Ramon is closer for $400.

Guillermo offers Emilia the second small box for her $50. She says yes and she gets a set of cell phones worth $395. Guillermo offers Ramon Curtain #2 for his $450 and he takes it. What does he get? A new Refrigerator worth $1,199! Both people make nice deals...

...but only 2 people can go after the Gran Trato. Ramon will be one of those people looking, while Roberto will be the other. Ramon wants #1 and Roberto wants #2, but we'll see Door #1 first, where Ramon takes $750 home with him. Roberto will be taking home some bikes, a patio set, a barbecue and a lobster-gram with a total value of $2,047 with him - but neither of them will be taking home a living room with flass tables and a trip to the movies with a total value of $5,312, which is too bad, because that was the Gran Trato. Will anyone win it tomorrow? Join us in 24 hours to find out.

Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White

Welcome to – I kid you not – Safari So Good week.

First toss up is RIGHT ON THE MONEY and it is gotten Katherine Flanigan, a recent grade of University of California Irvine. She also can ride a unicycle and juggle.

*hero of the day*

Jeff Maitz is from Boulder CA and attends Colorado University. His car is named Abe – because it’s a Lincoln. Kathleen Strickler from Greencastle, Indiana has a husband who teaches at Dupaw. And she tutors in French.

This ep is really tailored for me it?

DOVER DELEWARE is toss up #2, and Catherine gets it again. On the wheel now is a South African safari tour worth just short of 10 G’s. It’s a living thing. Catherine gets two separate gift tags before she calls a letter that’s already up there. Jeff takes over, gets one spin, hits bankrupt. Kathleen hits lose a turn. Katherine misses a letter. Jeff gets back on track with three T’s and hits bankrupt again. Kathleen solves AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG and wins $1900.

Fun and Games is both the prize puzzle and the jackpot round. Jeff gets on quite a roll, and solves RENTING SNORKELING GEAR. He’s very also happy to hear that he gets a vacation to the Caribbean where he will get to go scuba diving. He racked up $13,106 in cash and prizes that time.

*mopes in corner, while simultaneously mumbling* Yes, everything in this episode is associated with me… Someone want my luggature?

Round three – ze mystery round – features a ten thousand dollar bill. Before and after is the category. Kathleen starts, gets about three letters, hits the mystery wedge, and goes bankrupto. Katherine gets a couple of letters before play passes to Jeff, where he solves MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO THE HUSTLE. $2800 more for Jeff.

We’re back to the tossups, and Katherine gets it once again with CIGAR LOUNGE. It’s time to go on the menu. A couple of spins later it goes to the speed round, where Jeff solves MINESTRONE SOUP. That’s going to make a winning total of $18.906. Quick fingered Katherine scored 6 grand and $1900 for Kathleen.

The bonus puzzle is thing. He gets T _ _ _ / _ _ R E. His choices of MDIP give him T _ _ I/ _ _ R E. He missed out on $50,000. Ouch. Correct answer: TAXI FARE.

That’s all for now. More tomorrow.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Last week, Marna Anderson (Minneapolis, MN) reached the $8,000 level, and had to use 2 of her lifelines along the way. Today, she attempts to continue on...

Marna says that she was recently on a date, and over the phone, she was told to "dress warmly". But what she heard was "dress formally". You can probably guess her reaction when she, dressed formally, opened the door to see a guy in a T-shirt and jeans, holding a motorcycle helmet. Anyway, the game resumes with this $16,000 question...

What type of cloud's upper layer usually consists of an anvil-shaped formation called a "thunderhead"?
A: Stratocumulus
B: Cirrostratus
C: Altocumulus
D: Cumulonimbus

Marna has no idea, so she uses her last lifeline to call her uncle Gavin. Unfortunately, he doesn't know either. So, Marna does the smart thing and walks with $8,000. The answer, by the way, is D.

Next on the list is Drew McCarsky (Chatsworth, GA). He had to use multiple methods of travel to get there, but if he wins the million, he's heading home first-class. He starts by knowing that the car rental company Alamo shares its name with the site of a famous 1836 battle in Texas. A couple of questions later, and this comes up for $500...

What parts of speech are usually classified as being in the "active voice" or "passive voice"?
A: Adverbs
B: Verbs
C: Nouns
D: Adjectives

Well, when you're stuck, you're stuck. Drew is stuck, so he asks the audience. 75% of the studio audience and 46% of the AIM users say B. It should be an easy decision from here, but Drew was actually leaning towards A (which 10% of the audience and 28% of the AIM users said). He doesn't know whether to trust his gut or the audience, so he uses the 50:50. (I have a feeling that some people were yelling at their TV screens at this time.) A and B remain. Drew doesn't see that as being of much help, so he calls his wife Terry. But she doesn't offer much help either. Finally, all out of lifelines, Drew decides to just trust his gut and says A... but he should have trusted the audience! It was B! Unfortunately, that makes him the first contestant of the season to go home empty-handed.

Let's see if Drew Blackstone (Everett, WA) can do better. He's a Millionaire fanatic, so hopefully, he did his homework, and can get far into the game. His road begins with him knowing that "internal revenue" is a more formal way of referring to taxes (though it could probably cause acid reflux in some). He indeed does better than the Drew before him, answering, among other things, that the kids' card game where the objective is to win all the cards is called War. Soon enough, he gets to this one worth $4,000...

A strict ovolactovegetarian will not eat which of these foods as part of his diet?
A: Fish
B: Milk
C: Cheese
D: Eggs

Drew takes a shot at it, and says D... but it's A! He ended up not using any lifelines in his run, but he does take home $1,000.

Since there's time, here's a 4th contestant to squeeze into this half-hour! That contestant is Cynthia Huerta-McKown (Austin, TX). It's been a rough day, as Meredith said, but let's see if Cynthia can at least end the episode on a positive note. She begins by knowing that "and they lived happily ever after" usually ends fairy tales (though it does sound like an interesting line to put in a retirement home brochure). Cynthia gets on a roll, moving along well, before getting to the $2,000 question, which is as follows...

Of the some 5,800 species of amphibians, about 5,000 are what two animals?
A: Seahorses and jellyfish
B: Snails and slugs
C: Frogs and toads
D: Worms and snakes

Cynthia asks the audience, and 75% of the studio audience say C, with 50% of the AIM users agreeing. Cynthia trusts the audience and says C... and they're right!

And that'll do it for this rollercoaster of an episode. Cynthia will be back tomorrow.
