Round 1: something parents do in an attempt to be hip that embarrasses their kids (6). Pam gets #1, dresses too young. Other red flags: dancing, using slang, playing music, and being their friend. The Heards try to steal the first bank with dating their friends. Wuh-oh. Not there! Jensens keep the 92. Other answer: get piercings Round 2: the first thing you'd do if you heard someone break into your house (5). Ashley calls the police for #1. Then they get the gun. Can the Jensens snipe the bank with hitting the alarm? Got it for 170. Other answers: yell/scream, get the dog. Double: a good place in the kitchen to hide things (5). Wendy hides stuff in the cupboards for #2. Mary goes to the freezer for #1 (fridge is there, too). Then comes in a drawer. Is under the sink good to steal with the Jensens? Yep. They're up to 254. Other answer: in the cookie jar. Triple: something that might be delayed (4). Drew fires with a flight... number one! The rest of the fam can't come up with anything, but the Heards can. Trains steal the 147. Other answers: mail/package, dinner/meal. Sudden Death: something associated with Playboy magazine. That's Teri. "Hugh Hefner." Not there. Jordan? "Playmates!" Winners, 458-147. Fast Money: Pam & Krista score 140 for $700. In the nightcap, the Harmons (Monica, Andrea, Yvette, Sandy, Amber; $400) butt heads with the Mills (Aaron, Mindy, Rebecca, Beth, Brenda). 179 plays 84, the Harmons lead. The tripler: besides a person, something else with a body (4). Beth has a car... and we have #2. Brenda goes with an animal... number one! There's also a body of water, but the Harmons can steal to win with a motorcycle.... NO! Mills win, 330-179. Other answer: a letter. Fast Money: Brenda & Aaron get 159 for $795.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander Air time: Check local listings Host: Alex Trebek Website: www.jeopardy.com |

Todd has
two notches in his belt. Can he win the hat trick today?
Todd starts with $200 "Lat" In, leading at the TV time out with $3800 against Paul's $1400 and Matt's $1600. Todd finds the
Daily Double under $800 Dog Tags. He bets $800 of his $5600 on this:
born 1642, Woolsthorpe, England; mischievous cur; diamond, known to
destroy scientific papers. "Who is Isaac Newton?" Correct for $6400! He
leads at the half with $8200 against Paul's $3600. Matt, with $3200, had
better hope for some divine intervention in Double Jeopardy!, which he
starts... Come live / with me / and be / my love
"In poetry, it's a foot or a metrical unit
consisting of an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable." What is
iambic pentameter? It was just "iamb"; pentameter costs him $2000,
leaving him to $7000. Matt finds the other under $1600 The Positive. He
fronts $2400 on this: Oprah has unlocked this, a book by Rhonda Byrne
about using positive visualization to achieve success. "What is 'The
Secret'?" That... would've been right. Matt drops to $6000. He comes
back to $8000. Todd comes back to $10,600. Paul comes back to $4800. Matt had some help from the man above, but he got the job done to win with $13,500. Todd leaves with $32,999. |

Merv
Griffin's Crosswords by Chico Alexander Air time: Check local listings Host: Ty Treadway Website: www.crosswords.tv |
||||||||
Eric gets to lay claim to the Crossword Extra in round 1. He bets $100 on this: boldness in battle (- A L - -). No VALOR, but still on the plus with $300. He doubles that to go into break #1 with $600 against Sharon's $200... ... a fact that has not gone unnoticed by these three...
Mark "likes money", spoiling Eric for $1600... and finding the Crossword Extra later on in the round. He bets... $1800 on this: tangy on the tongue (- A - -). "TART". That's the easiest $1800 he'll ever make as Mark goes to $4600. He drops a bit to $4300 at the break against Sharon's $1600. Julie spoils Mark in round 3, getting $5000. If that wasn't enough, she also finds the Extra and can bet all of that. She bets $2000 on this: kind of victory for a loser (- - - - -). Nothing with MORAL, leaving her with $3000. Mark spoils back one more time... and that one time was enough to make him the winner, $3200-$2300. Mark can now make it $5000 and change AND a trip to Puerto Vallarta. I think this guy can do it. Last clue: Pablo Neruda's "____ to Common Things" (- D E -). ODES does it for $5200 and the trip to Puerto Vallarta! If you think you can be a solver on "Crosswords", then call 323-762-8282. |

Poker
After Dark by Chico Alexander Air time: 2:05a/1:05c on NBC Host: Shana Hiatt & Oliver "Ali" Nejad Website: www.nbcsports.com/poker |

The chip
lead bounced so many times last time, it could make your head spin, but
nevertheless, we go into night 4 with andy going all-in with A-8 to
John's K-J. $29,000 on the line. Flop: 5-K-8. John outflops Andy. Turn:
5♠. Andy needs an Ace or an 8 to stay in the game. River: J♠. It's the
beginning, and the end, for Andy Bloch, out in 5th place, leaving these
four...
David goes all-in with K-10♣ against John's A-Q. Flop: Q-10-3. Again, John outflops David. Turn: 2♦. David needs another 10 or a King to stay alive. River... 7♠, and David is out in 4th. To remind you, the PAD comeback mark is currently held by Jennifer Harman, who came back from $4000 to win the week. John was down to $3000 at one point. He's up to the chip lead right now with over $70,000. Annie's all-in with Queens against Clonie's A-10. Flop: Q-3-7. Turn: 9♠. Any Spade will send Annie home. Doesn't happen, though. Clonie pairs 10s on the river, but it's not enough to match Annie's threesome, giving her $31,200. Clonie's all-in with A-10, while Annie has A-9♥. Flop: K-4-5. Turn: K♦. Annie needs a 4 or a 5 to tie, and a 9 to take the pot. River: 2♥. Clonie's doubling to $30,300. Annie's all-in with a 9-7♦. John's got A-10. Flop: 9-Q-3, one diamond and one pair for Annie. Turn: J♣. Annie needs to avoid a 10, an Ace, an 8, or a King to stay alive. River: 5♣, and Annie doubles through John for $20,100 more. John's still your chip leader. Will he win the whole shoot'n'match? Find out tomorrow! |

They said "I do." Now they don't! It's the
Battle of the Ex-Spouses!

Temptation: The New Sale of the Century by Joe Mello Air time: Check local listings Host: Rossi Morreale Website: www.seenontemptation.com |
||||||||
Stacey's got enough to take home the anti-aging spa package, but she's only a few bucks shy of the jewelry. Speed Round hopes to change that. After 30, Stacey and August are tied at T$30. Laura has T$25. So what's up in SP first? How about a frozen drink maker with margarita glasses and a Vocopro karaoke. It all costs $825. It'll cost T$10 for either Stacey or August... Nine? Eight? Stacey gets it, and she's down to T$22. Fame Game: Stacey hears three clues and gets MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING for the lead and T$37. Knock-Off category: Celebrities with Perfumes. Laura is knocked out by the Dixie Chicks, leaving her with T$35. Stacey is knocked out with T$41. August, who got Antonio Banderas for 15, is knocked out by Ashlee Simpson with T$59. She wanted to pick Usher. That would've been another 5. So August gets a trip to this IB: 23 soaps and creams from Crabtree & Evelyn and a diamond/sapphire ring, all with $1103. August's price: T$15. It'll cut her lead down to three. She passes. What about if Rossi throws in $100? Oh yeah, she'll take it now. "I'm gonna pass", indeed. Speed Round 2: Chevy or Hotel? After the rund, Laura storms back with 50, August as 54, and Stacey has the lead with T$56... and it's time for Instant Cash. Is a chance at $1000 worth T$2? Yep. Stacey picks the brown one... just another $100. White wallet had the thou. Next time, we're playing for $1500. Final Speed Round, and August, on the last question (What is the Japanese word for the art of pruning and shaping tiny trees?), fires with "Bonsai" for the win with T$64. Stacey had T$54, while Laura was left with 50. T$64 isn't enough to buy diddley-jack, so we play Super Knock-Off with this category: Madonna's Top 40 hits. Oh! Is August a fan? "Not really." Uh oh. "Who's That Girl"... $25. "Dress You Up"... $25. "Borderline"... $25. August stops there. The Benjamin was behind "Hanky Panky". So T$139 is enough to take home the HDTV... or she can put it all in cold storage for a shot at another game... "I'm returning, baby." Yeah, baby! |

That's
the Question by Chico Alexander Air time: 9p/8c on GSN Host: Bob Goen Website: www.gsn.com/ttq |
||||||||
We start as always with the tossup... "WHO MAKES CHEEZ WHIZ?" This one was easy. Carla stumbles, but comes up with Kraft for control of this question whose answer is Hawaii. Carla makes a run at it, but the question is filled up with THE SOUTHERNMOST POINT IN THE U.S. LIES IN WHAT STATE? No one gets it, but Carla leads, 15-6. The answer to question #2, Pink Floyd. Mark solves WHAT BAND RECORDED "ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL"? to put the game at one, 19-18. Still Carla's lead. This answer's gotten to the "core". Mark solves another one: WHAT'S THE CENTER OF THE EARTH AND THE CENTER OF AN APPLE? Mark leads, 33-27. First answer of round 2 has three and eight letters. We fill in WHAT "GANDHI" STAR SHARES HIS BIRTH NAME WITH AN INDIAN GOD? The answer: Ben Kingsley. His actual birth name was Krishna. Carla leads, 67-47. Still have time for another question. This one has four and eight. Running out of time so we move to letter-placing with WHAT RETAIL STORE ESSENTIAL WAS DESIGNED TO STOP STEALING AT A SALOON? Mark fires... "Cash register". That's the game for Mark, 73-67. After 73 seconds of questions, Mark gets a go at this... "THE HILLS" IS . S.IN-.FF .F .H.T .TV SH..? ------ ----- "The Hills is a spinoff of what TV show?" Not right. It was MTV show... And the answer, of course... Laguna Beach. |

Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood Air time: Check local listings Host: Meredith Vieira Website: www.millionairetv.com |

| Dave
Treene (Montgomery, NJ) has $2,000 so far, and he's ready for more. He gets some audience help at the $8,000 level, then... [$16,000] Tenzing Norgay was the renowned Sherpa guide for what famous explorer? A: Ferdinand Magellan B: Edmund Hillary C: Marco Polo D: Robert Peary Though he has a feeling about this one, Dave uses the 50:50. B and D remain. He says B... and he's right! From there, he goes on to complete the middle tier, securing $25,000! [$50,000] In 2007, high-wire performers inspired the headline "Tightrope Skywalkers Cross Han Solo" by crossing a river in what country? A: South Korea B: Cambodia C: Indonesia D: Thailand Dave knows that the river in question is in southeast Asia. Problem is, all 4 of these choices are in that region. So, he switches the question, before seeing that it's A. [$50,000] (Q) Now used to mean "gossip," the term "scuttlebutt" was originally a nautical term referring to what item on a ship? A: Cask of water B: Rope ladder C: Barrel of gunpowder D: Flagpole Out loud, Dave is thinking A, since gossip would be talked about around a water cooler (or maybe a cask of water). But he's not sure enough, so he decides to call his brother, Eric. Eric says it's something that holds water, which would mean A. Dave locks that in... and it's A! [$100,000] Founded in Washington, D.C. in 1885, the Gridiron Club is a prestigious organization composed primarily of what? A: Congressmen B: Journalists C: Lobbyists D: Military leaders Unsure of this one, Dave decides to walk with $50,000! Oh, and it's B. Jaime Gusdorff (Bryn Mawr, PA): She is excited to be here for two reasons. She'll have something to talk about at an upcoming high school reunion, and she plans to donate half of her winnings to charity! Now that is nice! And Jaime will be giving at least $500 to charity, as she sweeps the lower tier. Then, eventually... [$16,000] Named for a fictional species in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," Babel Fish is an online service for which of the following? A: Medical information B: Travel directions C: Automobile appraisals D: Language translation She wants to say D, but Jaime decides to ask the audience. 81% agree with her. She goes with her gut... and it's D! With that, this episode comes to an end, so Jaime will have to wait until tomorrow to go for $25,000. |
