Family
Feud by
Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn |
|
|
Frazier
(Christina, Brett, Vicki, Katherine, Steven) |
|
Contreras (Raffie,
Lucy, Annie, John, Aline); $730 |
Nickname du jour: the
original Game Boy. Brett looks a lot of Ashton Kutcher,
but will they do some punking on this Feud? Round 1: 100
women, what do you do when you discover there's a mouse
in the house (6)? Raffie gets #5, call a mouse catcher.
Christina sets traps for #1, though. Scream, get a cat,
jump on a chair, and, as Brett put it, "get some food"
round out the board, giving the challengers 99.
Round 2: an occupation
where you have to touch your customers (6). Lucy gets
top of the board with a doctor. The rest of the family
get masseuse and hair dresser, but the Fraziers steal
with manicurist for 179. Other answers: nurse,
tailor/clothing.
Double Round: something
that starts with the word "public" (full board). Annie
gets number one, a restroom. Defender, transportation,
and schools also make the survey. Can the Fraziers
snatch the board with "public telephone?" Nope. The
champs are on the board with 82. Other answers: library
(said), Enemy.
Hey did you know there
was a DVD game out? You should really go get it. Triple Round:
a common topic of conversation at men's poker games (4).
John gets #1 with their wives (or sex). Job, cars,
and sports seal the lead for the Contreras family as
they win it, 373-179.
John & Raffie try their
hand at Fast Money. Raffie's first as he gets a number
one for any month you would take off if you could
(December). He gets 107. John gets a number one for a
place where they always keep you waiting (a doctor's
office), but 50 is not enough. They take another $935,
giving them a two day total of $1665.

Jeopardy! by
Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek |
|
|
Jason Richards
(pharmacy technician from Old Town, ME); $55,700,
two days |
|
Caren Chancey (graduate student from Baltimore) |
|
Justin Porter (landscaper
from Charleston, SC) |
Jason has two games
under his belt and some of, if not the most money one
champ has ever garnered within the past two weeks. But
can he get any more? Or will the graduate cutie with the
cat or the dude with the stud in his soulpatch go for
broke? Jason starts with $200 Astronomical Rhyme Time.
The lady in the center is making her presence known, as
she finds the early Daily Double under $1000 Fort
Sumter. Already at $1800, she makes a play for the lead
with $1500. The clue: 3 decades after the Civil War,
fear of this European enemy prompted the building of a
new battery; it was never used. "What is France?" Nope.
A fleet of Spaniards dock Caren down to $300.
Fun fact: Jason has over
650 board games, including German games. I hope he has
Settlers of Catan. That's my game right there. After the
second half of the round, it's a race between Jason's
$5000 and Justin's $4200. Meanwhile, Caren with $1300
starts Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400 The "S"
Files.
Jason's beginning to break from the pack as he finds the
first Daily Double under $2000 Villes de France. He goes
$6000 on the Papal Palace of the capital of the Vaucluse
department. "What is Avignon?" Right for $15,000! Caren
goes straight for $2000 Famous Painters, the second
Daily Double, and an all-in wager can put her within
striking distance. She only bets $5000, which'll help...
The task: identify the painter of "The Assumption of the
Virgin." "Who is Titian?" That's Ti-TIAN, dear. She's
got $12,300. She'd lose some of it, ending the round
with $11,500. Justin's got $5000, but once again, it's
Jason's game to lose with $23,800.
Final Jeopardy! in
"Record Setters": on August 6 & 7, 1961,
Gherman Titov did this 17 times; the previous record was
one. Correct response: What is orbit the earth?
Justin remembered that
Gherman Titov was a Russian cosmonaut... and apparently
he's the only one. Still, not enough to rub out Jason,
who collects another $23,100, giving him $78,800 for
three days. |

Lingo by
Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery |
|
|
Twin brothers
Gabriel (web designer) & Anthony (event
coordinator) |
|
Twin
sisters and singers Pamela & Paula |
"I'm Chuck, and if you
see two of me, then see an ophthalmologist." This must
be the twin episode. And while I can make the obvious
joke about Shandi, I'm not going to.
The guys get BROTH, while the
ladies steal ROUTE and follow with HEADS and the Lingo, giving
Pamela & Paula the lead, 100-25.
And they continue right out of the
break with CHAMP, but the guys steal FORKS off their plate, but
Gabriel draws red. Pamela & Paula capitalize with THIGH, leading
150-50 at the break.
Round 2 coming as we see
the series three titles on the Lingo big screen. Why?
Because it's a crooked letter, that's why. Pamela & Paul
GLIDE into the Lingo effortlessly, giving them the lead,
300 to the guys' 50. The guys get ALOUD and the Lingo to
cut the lead to 100. Make that 150; Pamela & Paula get
STUNT. They also get a red stopper. They also get a
steal with MUNCH. Game over, the girls win it, 400-200.
With three Bonus Lingo letters,
Pamela & Paula get TAXES, ALIBI, CAMEL, POURS, SPACE, and FORTH
for six. Paula goes for 10 for 10... She gets 10... times 4.
Pamela gets the Lingo, giving the sisters $5000. |

The
Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN
Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS
(markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker |
|
Wednesday is Hump day!
We start our journey over the hump with Bob making an
audience entrance for the first game: Plinko. Contestant
Elizabeth Bauer, after snagging come Paricon snow sleds
valued at $550, got a shot to win 50-G's. After winning
only two out of the four chips, she took her three total
to the top and dropped for $11,500 total.
Next, contestant Kathy Sturgis wins a Palecek chair and
ottoman, valued at $2298 (the highest of the four bids
was $750). Her game: Make Your Move, for a coin sorter,
a Peavey drum kit, and a flatbed GEM Car. The setup for
the game couldn't have been more than a giveaway:
3 0 7 0 0 7 6 9 5
Sturgis' move-making was speed-record breaking. After
taking no help from the Peanut Gallery and moving all
three gliders into their correct positions, she won a
total $10,723.
The momentum maintained thru the next act. Contestant
Betty Kaufman captured a Bosch coffee machine, valued at
$1299, and made her way to the stage to play One Away
for a Pontiac Vibe. The setup: 2 7 5 8 5. Kaufman's
first attempt, $18,694, netted her two magical horns.
She changed the last three numbers, made the price
$18,476, and won the car, taking her total to $19,775.
The momentum came to a screeching pause over the next
two acts. Contestant Samantha Sneed captured a set of
Ryobi woodworking equipment worth $989, then lost Double
Prices for a wine barrel juke box. Wait...a Wine Barrel
JUKE BOX? How quaint. Following, contestant Lloyd Hall
won a palmOne PDA (complete with Madden 06 and
Centipede!) valued at $571. With "help" from his wife,
he lost Check-Out by going $3.59 over the total prices
of Aspercreme, Baker's Joy spray, Carnation Malted Milk,
Carapelli olive oil, and Viactiv vitamin D chews.
Steam started picking up again with contestant Jetta
Reynolds winning four bars of GOLD. Bling bling and such
forth, valued today at $1640. "The Actual Retail Price
is determined at the beginning of business on the day of
taping." Her game: Dice Game (collective groan) for a
Chevy Cobalt. Jetta didn't need an explanation of the
rules and started rollin'. She went against the odds on
her first roll of a 4, with the odds on a 5 and a 2, and
got her final roll, a 5, right on the money. She won the
car; $16,465.
On to the Showcases! Our Top Winner: MYM Kathy. Our
Runner-Up: Master Grocery Shopper Lloyd. Showcase #1,
regarding animal want-ads, gave us a 6-night trip to
Rio, a Franklin Chef wine cellar, and a Jeep Wrangler.
Kathy's bid: $26,000
Showcase #2 showed us how to one-up our friends, mainly
with a 6-night trip to New York, a 6-night trip to
London, and a Ford Mustang Convertible. Lloyd's bid:
$27,500.
Lloyd fell short by a wide $11,598 margin (ARP:
$39,098). Kathy missed hers by only $2002 (ARP: $28,002)
and netted a cool $38,725 on the day.
Rich's suit was two shades of gray: dark for the coat,
light for the pants.

Stump
the Schwab by
Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 2:30-4p ET/1:30-3p CT on ESPN2
Hosts: Stuart Scott & Howie Schwab |
|
We had two yesterday. We're
getting three today.
|
Pete Fierro (Atlanta) |
|
Sean Simon (Festerville, PA) |
|
James Cho (Boulder, CO) |
Leading Off: first, the
12 players on the LA Lakers '88 Finals roster. Sean is
knocked out after 2. Pete's knocked out after 2. James
is knocked out after 3. Schwab is at 4. Next: 20-game
Major League winners since 2000. Pete moves ahead to 7,
James drops behind to 4. Sean stays in the middle with
6. The Schwab has 10. Finally, 16 host cities of the
Winter Olympics before Turin. In the end, James and Sean
are tied at 8, while Pete moves on at 10. Time for a
tiebreaker: in 2002, Rich Gannon set the NFL record for
completions in a season. How many completions did Gannon
have? Sean says 493. James says 469. Correct: 418. James
moves on.
Onto Name That.... It's
like Bid-a-Clue. Four clues to start in basketball,
here's Pete... Juwan Howard gives Pete 4. Next up,
pitchers and three clues. Eric Gagne gives James 5.
College football coaches, James gets four clues. Tyron
Willingham costs James, as Pete gets the 4. Linebackers
with three, James gets the clues... and gets stumped
again thanks to Tedy Bruschi. Pete gets the 5. Tennis
greats for four clues, once again James... Rod Laver
gets James 4 points. Final Name That, Baseball
players. James gets three clues... and Pete gets the
points. Final score: 18-9 Pete.
But only temporary.
Here's Stop the Presses. It's all about correcting
bloopers for up to 2. After that game, the King is dead
as Dan wins it, 7-2
Schwab Showdown
categories: Captains of Crunch Time (crunch
performances), Hey Lefty! I'm Open! (left-handed QBs),
Stopping Short is My Thing (shortstops), and Shorts &
Suits (NBA player coaches). Pete gets his first strike
in a two-pointer. Schwab gets his first in a
3-pointer... and his second in a passed 3-pointer.
Schwab wins this one, 4-9.
|
Malcolm Dyson
(Seattle) |
|
Greg Hurd (Carrolton, GA) |
|
Joel Radwanski (Chicago) |
Leading Off: 17
30-TD-throwing QBs from 1984 to 2004. Greg is out at 2.
Malcolm is out at 2. Joel gets 4. Schwab gets 5. Next,
20 former NBA player Hall of Famers since 1995. Greg is
out at 1. Joel is out at 2. Malcolm is out at 3. Joel &
Malcolm tied at 5 to Greg's 3. Finally, 25 players on
the 2000 Yankees World Series roster. Greg's out early,
meaning Greg is out period. Joel & Malcolm move on...
... to Remember When.
Each player is spotted 100 points, and they lose a point
for every year that they're off. If they hit it exactly
on the nose, it's worth a point. On the final question,
scores are doubled. It's less complicated than it reads.
Malcolm leads it, 97-95, going into the Ultimate Year.
MLB is Joel's subject. The question: the year the
Athletics began play in Kansas City after moving from
Philadelphia. Joel says 1952. He's off by 3, meaning
he's got 89. The question for Malcolm in college
football: the year Paul "Bear" Bryant began coaching in
Alabama. Malcolm says 1964. It was 1958, meaning Joel
wins it, 89-85.
Schwab Showdown.
Categories: First-Year Secondary (rookie NFL DBs),
Summer Games People Play (the Olympics), The Chicago
Nine (Chicago baseball), First Class (sports firsts).
Schwab passes Joel his first strike. It was over when
the Schwab struck out on this question: First-Year
Secondary for 3:
In 1952, what rookie
cornerback set the NFL record for interceptions with 14?
Correct: Dick "Night
Train" Lane. Joel seals it for a second time, taking
away a total of $22,000.
It's championship time!
| Vik
Dalvi (Culver City, CA) |
|
Pete Fierro (Atlanta) |
|
Joel Radwanski (Chicago) |
The Red Storm is in the
house for this Leading Off: First: RBs with 1700+
rushing yards in an NFL season entering 2005. Vik is out
at 1. Pete is out at 2. Joel is out at 5. Schwab has 6.
Next, 18 60-point scorers in an NBA game, entering
2005-06. Joel & Pete are tied at 5 to Vik's 3. Finally,
14 boxers Mike Tyson faced in 16 title fights. Vik is
out first, meaning he's out period. He needed that round
bad. Pete & Joel move on.
Time to play Who's Got
More? Pete gets MLB career home runs, eight of them.
Joel gets career RBIs, nine of them. Next, Pete gets
career receiving yards, going to 28 on the buzzer. Joel
gets career passing yards, but only gets to 23. It's
Pete vs. Schwab for $30,000! But Joel can say that he's
the only person to stump the Schwab twice for $22,000.
Schwab Showdown.
Categories: The Color Line (breaking the color line), Is
That Your Finals Answer (NBA Finals), Skins Game
(Redskins), Behind the Mask (hockey goalie). Rubber
match right here... and Pete strikes out. At least he
gets $8000 and the golden Schwabble-head. Schwab wins
it, 9-4, and gets only about as much time as ESPN will
give him to prep for his next challenge... if there is
one. |

Trato
Hecho by
Gordon Pepper, GSNN
Air time: 12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca |
|
Are we prepared for another
day of Trato Hecho? Lydia hopes so, as the Acapulcan
beauty, who is wearing Hawaiian grab gets $100 from
Guillermo. She can win much much more than that - if she
can arrange 4 products in the correct order, she'll be
hula-hulaing to a new Ford worth $14,920! The products
are starting fluid, garden gloves, a combination lock
and liquid plant food. Lydia's order is starting fluid,
gloves, lock and plant food - meaning that she leaves
everything as it is and gets showered with boos from the
audience. Guillermo offers her curtain #2 as a buyout -
and based on the boos, she decides to take the curtain.
The cheapest item is...the starting fluid, so she's
right there. She's right on the master lock...uh-oh. Did
she just give away a car? No, because the gloves needed
to be fourth and the plant food needed to be second.
Behind curtain #2 - a nice refrigerator and a $500 cash
card for a total of $1,699! What a nice deal for her.
It's time to pick the biggest churro! Norma, who's
dressed up like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, selects
churro #1. Norma gets a $200 offer for a bail out, but
she doesn't want it. She should have taken it, because
she's wrong. #2 was bigger today, and Norma gets $100 as
a consolation gift.
Maria is a very nice maid. William is not so nice as
Darth Vader. We have 2 decorated skulls, and Maria
selects #1, which gives William #2. Guillermo offers
Curtain #1 for Maria, and she takes it. Maris gives
up..$1... and gets a washer/dryer combo worth $1,098!
Now it's William's turn. Does he want Curtain #2? No he
doesn't. and he passes up another skull - this one in
the hand of the Mad Scientist of Tratolandia for a
Chasco! What dies William get under the skull? $600,
which is a nice deal for him.
Who wants the nice chance at over $5,000 worth of
goodies in the Gran Trato? Lydia doesn't, but Maria does
- as does William, so we see the same 2 people in the
last segment. Maria wants door #2 and William wants door
#3. We first see door #1, which had $750. Both of them
will get a better deal, but we'll see William's first,
as he wins a trip to Mexico worth $2,000. We FINALLY get
a drought broken as Maris wins the Gran Trato. Today, it
is some carpeting, which goes along with a living room
with glass tables worth $5,562! We'll see if we can make
it two in a row tomorrow. |

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire by
Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |
|
On yesterday's show, Erin
Doyle (Chicago, IL) reached $1,000, lifelines intact.
She can't leave with less, but will she leave with more?
One thing that Erin would really appreciate is a
shout-out to her grandmother from Meredith, since she's
one of 47 grandkids, and she'd like to shoot up to the
top of the list. The host makes it happen, and then they
continue where they left off the day before, with Erin
correctly responding that a rickshaw, a small passenger
cart, has 2 wheels. Another question later, and she sees
this for $8,000...
By definition, the leeward side of a ship is the side
that is facing what direction?
A: Towards the coast
B: Towards the sun
C: Away from the wind
D: Away from the horizon
Erin asks the audience. 76% of the studio audience and
47% of the AIM users say C, so Erin goes with them...
and it's C! She easily made it to $16,000, bringing her
to this one, worth $25,000...
Brought back to Europe by explorers, tomatoes were
originally native to what continent?
A: South America
B: Australia
C: Asia
D: Africa
Erin decides to call her friend, Mike Platt, who is not
very sure, but does guess C. Not convinced enough, Erin
uses the 50:50, which leaves A and C. She decides to go
with Mike's guess and says C... but it's wrong! The
answer is A! She won't be getting that 4th lifeline, but
she does go home with $1,000.
Next in the hot seat is Lee Smallwood (Petaluma, CA), a
fighter pilot with the Navy. Being in the Navy was a
lifelong dream of his, so he pursued that dream, and he
made it come true. Lee's road to a potential million
starts with him knowing that "woof, woof, woof, woof" is
repeated throughout "Who Let the Dogs Out" (but thanks
to D here, from now on, if I ever hear that darn song
again, I'll be thinking "one, one, hit, wonder"
instead). He then flies through some more questions,
including one that asks what musical genre the accordion
is most commonly used in (Polka). Eventually, he has
this $8,000 question...
In 2005, the AMC movie chain offered a money-back
guarantee to boost lackluster ticket sales for what
movie?
A: The Island
B: Cinderella Man
C: Herbie: Fully Loaded
D: Batman Begins
Lee chooses to ask the audience, and 55% of the studio
audience goes with B, while 42% of the AIM users also go
with B. Lee goes with the audience... and is right! He
then makes a gamble pay off at the $16,000 question,
before reaching this one for $25,000...
Besides John McCain and John Kerry, who is the only
other current U.S. senator who served in the Vietnam
War?
A: Lincoln Chafee
B: Tom Harkin
C: Chuck Hagel
D: Arlen Specter
Lee uses the 50:50 to get rid of B and D. He has an
inkling, so he saves the Phone-A-Friend and goes with
A... but it's C! Darn, that's the second contestant in a
row to go for $25,000, but miss and end up with $1,000.
And we haven't seen someone win at least $25,000 on this
show since Sept. 26...
Hopefully, Ken Blundell (Kansas City, MO) can break this
streak. He likes to gamble, so maybe we'll see some of
that as he tries to climb his way to a million dollars.
He begins by knowing that Motor Trend magazine is
specifically geared towards car enthusiasts. He
continues on, answering other questions, including one
which asks what the abbreviation AC/DC, also the name of
a rock band, is commonly used to refer to (electrical
current), before reaching $1,000.
And there's the horn. Ken will continue playing
tomorrow. |
