CHAMPIONS
Riley

Glenn, Greg, Taylor, Steph, Megan
$500+
Oguchi
Sonny, Brian, Phyllis, Stephanie, Kingsley

Returning champions the Riley family hope their luck will change when they take on the Oguchi family.

SINGLE: something nurses do that Hugh Hefner probably has his girlfriends do for him.

2. Backrub/Massage 21   6. Give pills/viagra 4
3. Check vitals 10      7. CPR/|Oxygen 4
4. "Shag him" 6

1. Still breathing 35   5. Still warm 11
2. Moves/Rolls over 15  6. Eyes blink/open 6
3. Heartbeat/Pulse 13   7. Moans/Talks 5

The Riley win another game after the Oguchis couldn't get the steal on the #3 answer that was left on the last board, thinking it was liver.

The Rileys make another change to let Taylor & Greg play Fast Money. Taylor has some good answers, but the last two answers were quite weak and scored 75. Greg had weak answers on his last three answers, plus the answer that he goofed on about people forgeting to go to work when they're super busy. The Rileys get another $715 for $1215 at least.

Fast Money #1 answers
- 100 married women, How many inches does your husband's belly hang over his belt?: 1 inch (Taylor)
- Something dogs love to go to the bathroom on: Carpet/Floor (Greg)
- The fastest growing state in the nation: California (because it's the state with the highest population)
- Something that starts with the word "bikini": Bikini line
- Something you might forget to do when you're super busy: Eat


In the nightcap, the returning Rose family will now play against the Brown family.

The Brown family couldn't steal and send the game to sudden death on something disgusting a dog might have in his mouth. There was a small/dead animal, poop and bone. They tried for underwear, but the last answer was person/remains and giving the Roses another victory.

Jessica-Lee & Danielle will try again for the Fast Money round. Despite having a short overstay for a houseguest, she still scored 128 on her answers. Danielle couldn't think of another answer on her first answer, but got 3 of the remaining #1 answers, not even needing the last answer to win their $20,000 and giving them a two-day total of $20,$925.

  Joon gets to defend for the first time.
 
CHAMPION
Joon Pahk

Somerville, MA
college physics teacher
$28,800
Elaine Ricci
Houston
tutor & substitute teacher
Megan Johnson
orig. Toledo, OH
attorney

Joon starts with $200 Metals, finding the Daily Double under $1000. Joon risks it all on this: this metal used to make semiconductors was discovered by Clemens Winkler & named for his homeland. "What is germanium?" Correct for $3600! After a visit from the cast of ABC's "Pan Am", Joon leads with $10,400 to Elaine's $5000. Megan has a grand and the first go in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Emmy-Winning Guest Appearances, finding the first Daily Double under $1200. She bets everything on this: in 2010 Neil Patrick Harris won for playing Mr. Schuester's former high school nemesis on this series. "What is Glee?" Correct for $3400. Joon finds the other under $1600 Plus 8. He fronts... "I'll bet it all." WHOA BOY. How nonchalant of you. For $32,800 or nothing, the answer is... number of days in a leap year times 2 plus 8. "What is 740?" This game is so over, we need a new word for over! To reiterate the point, Joon has $38,800 to Elaine's $10,600 and Megan's $9000.

Kids Test goes online TOMORROW.

The one day record, Alex... is held by Roger Craig from last season. He built up $77,000 on only the second day of season 27. Joon can beat it tonight.

Final Jeopardy! in "European Travel & Tourism": visited by 15 million people a year, this spot in Britain honors an 1805 battle fought elsewhere. Correct response: what is Trafalgar Square?

Joon gets it right for another $50,800, giving him $79,600 for two!

Tuesday dealing starts with Kristin the tinsel girl, Jennifer the sunflower and Brittany the Cal Poly nerd. Wayne has three envelopes. Two have $100 Checks and one has $500. Brittany moves on by winning $500 and is going to play "Check's In the Mail" for a 2011 Ford Fiesta SE worth $16,550! 8 Mailboxes, 2 Zonks, and one has the car. She picks 2, 4, 6, 8. We start with #2...and it's a package with an Ipad 2 worth $499. She goes on....she picks #6...and it's a ZONK card from Wayne..#4 was a ZONK poster. #8 was a $2,000 check. #1 had the car.

Let's get the winning going with Mark the postman (with dogs attached to him) and his buddy of 10 years Tony who is dirty laundry. They have a box with a clue of BLING or a curtain #1 with SPEED as the clue. They must make decisions together and each get whatever the prize is. They keep BLING and pass up on SPEED which is a Piaggio Fly 150 Scooter worth $3,489. Next is a curtain with the word FIT. They keep BLING and the FIT...is not a gym...it's a 2011 Honda Fit Sport worth $17,630! OUCH. Now it's individual decision time. Will they keep the BLING, $1,000 or curtain #3. Tony and Mark each take $1,000. #3 was a GUMMI BEAR TRAP (ZONK). But BLING was a ROLEX worth $5,000!

Next up is Dorothy who is HEADLIGHTS. She has Curtain #1 which has something to do with the number 40. Wayne offers her $600, $800, $1,000 and she takes the curtain which is a living room and a 40" HDTV worth $4,029. Wayne picks Amy the flower girl and Jonathan will give her a clue for the small box from Wayne's Diary. The clue "I looked inside the small box and I could hardly believe my EYES."

Wayne gives William and Jennifer another $500. They each have $1,000. William buys Curtain #2 for $1,000 and gets a FLYING HOUSE (ZONK). Jennifer is given $1,000. She has $2,000. Will she buy the big box? She keeps $2,000 and passes on a trip to St. Lucia at the Coconut Bay Resort worth $7,091!

Sherilee the hippie is playing for a washer/dryer worth $4,136. She is playing the four aces game. Four pairs of cards. If she picks 2 Aces she gets the washer dryer, if she gets 3 aces correct she will win a 2012 Fiat 500 worth $16,000. First pick is 1 and it's the....ACE of Hearts. 2nd pair is #1...and it's a ZONK. Next pair is #2 which is a ZONK. She can't win the car. But if she gets it right, she can win the washer/dryer. She passes on the $500 Wayne offers and she picks #2 on the last pair...and it's an ACE OF SPADES. She wins the Washer/Dryer!

Aubrey is pepper of Salt and Pepper. Wayne offers her a trip in the envelope or $1,000. She takes $1,000 and passes up on a ZONK Garbage Barge Cruise. Next is Deborah who gets $100 for every pushup. She kind of does it...(cheating a little) but she gets 5 in for $500. Wayne reads from Jonathan's Diary. After a long clue...it gets to "I peek behind Curtain #3 and find something that can keep me organized. Wayne will add $500 to her $500 and give her $1,000. She takes the money and passes on a home office with furniture and MacBook Air worth $3,187.

Big Deal time worth $27,800! Sherilee trades her washer/dryer.

She picks #2. Behind #1 was a trip to South Carolina at the Kiawah Island Resort worth $6,900! #3 was a home gym worth $2,579. Which means she has the BIG DEAL which is a 2011 Toyota Matrix Hatchback and a Little Guy Teardrop Trailer worth $27,800! Nice win!

[Q1 - Celebrity Diets]
Reportedly used by Kelly Clarkson and Mandy Moore, what fad diet created by Dr. Sanford Siegal curbs hunger with a sweet treat?
A: Chocolate Diet
B: Sugar Busters
C: Cookie Diet
D: Grapefruit Diet

Kristen asks the audience to be sure. 49% think C. That's what she was thinking, and it gets her... just $100.

She then goes on, jumping the 3rd and 6th questions, missing out on $7,000 and $3,000. She has $6,600 heading into this...

[Q7 - Senatorial Substitute]
What is the name of the Illinois politician appointed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich to complete Obama's Senate term?
A: Marvin Harris
B: Logan Morris
C: Clayton Ferris
D: Roland Burris

Since she feels she doesn't have much money in her bank, Kristen guesses A... but it's D! That sends her home with $1,000.

Noam Osband (Philadelphia, PA)
He flew in from Israel the day before this taping to be on the show.

He gets $2,100 from the first 2 questions, then decides to jump the 3rd, which had $25,000. After that is this...
