Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Craine (Davida, Lakeshia, Kameelah, Laneasha, Tashana)
Contreras (Raffie, Lucy, Annie, John, Aline); $1655, two days

Nickname du jour: the teddy bear of all game show hosts... this from Davida. Round 1: something teenagers can do for hours on end (6). Raffie plays the video games for #1. We also talk on the phone, watch TV, listen to music, and shop. Can the Craines steal with party? Up there! The challengers get 88.

Round 2: past or present, a specific ride at Disneyland or Disney World (7). Lucy gets Small World for #2. Now this was a field trip at GSC4, so we should know what #1 is. Annie gets Pirates of the Caribbean, #5. John gets the Matterhorn, #7. Lucy gets #1, Space Mountain (about time!). The Craines go with Mad Hatter for the steal. Nope. The Contreras get 63. Other answers: Tower of Terror, Tea Party/Cups, The Rocket/Jets. Notice Millionaire Play It wasn't there. What's up with that? :)

Double Round: an animal that starts with "R" (5). Annie's raccoon beats Kameelah's rat, 3 to 4. Aline's wabbit gets number one, though. Rhino and... number 5 round out the board. Is it reindeer? Not there, Contreras up to 257. Other answer: roadrunner.

Triple Round: something you better show up on time for (4). John gets #1 with work. School and weddings also make the survey. Can the Craines steal the game with a court appearance? Got it! The Craines win, 319-257.

Cousins Davida & Lakeshia take on the Fast Money board. Davida gets #1 from a food that is yellow (banana) for 131. Can Lakeshia get the other 69? I think so...  Lakeisha gets a time when most people wake up in the morning (6a) for the money!

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Jason Richards (pharmacy technician from Old Town, ME); $78,800, three days
Helen Kaluzny (freelance broadcast journalist from Waterloo, ON)
Brendan Beier (graduate student orig. from Pleasantville, NY)

Today, Jason goes for win #4, as he starts with $200 All Of Our Stone. The other categories, just for fun: When You Get the Money, You Get the Power..., Then You Get the Women, Scarface, and Tony Montana. But back to the money, as Jason finds the early Daily Double under $800. In the lead by $600, Jason goes $1500 on the widow of a 1981 plane crash who inherited $500 million. "Who is Teresa Heinz Kerry?" Right for $4100 going into the break again Helen's $2000 and Brendan's $1600. Jason would end with that much, but Helen makes a play for first with $4800. Meanwhile, Brendan with $3000 starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Pictures at an Exhibition. Jon gives Jason the first Daily Double, a video under $1200 On the Battlefield, worth $3500. "A landing by Australian and New Zealand forces was driven back by future Turkish leader Adda Turk in this World War I battle." "What is Gallipoli?" Correct for $9200! Jason gets another Daily Double under $1200 Pictures At An Exhibition. He goes only $4000... Heh, only $4000.... "Also the title of a 2003 film, it's the famous work from around 1665 seen here?" "What is the Girl With the Pearl Earring?" Correct for $30,400. He ends with that much, as Helen will at $2800 and Brendan at $7400.

Final Jeopardy! in "Publications": in 1889 a daily New York News summary called the "Customers' Afternoon Letter" became this publication. Correct response: What is the Wall Street Journal?

Helen doubles up. Brendan scribbles and hopes.... nope. But Readers' Digest costs the champ $10,000. Still enough to give him the W, though, with $20,400, $99,200 for four days.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery
Old friends, current roomies, and assistant editors Grant & Brad
Siblings Basem (engineer) & Solange (teacher)

Grant & Brad get in their LICKS for 25. They follow with DRANK, BIKED, TOOTH, and the Lingo, giving them 150.

Based & Solange finally get the drum, REACTing to the earlier Lingo with... a Lingo of their own! They have 75. They steal STARS afterwards. Grant & Brad return the favor with AHEAD. And apparently no man makes Shandi feel inadequate... I betcha I can give it a go. =p End of the round and the score favors the yellows, 175-100.

Round 2 coming as Basem & Solange GROWL, and Basem YELLS for 100 and the lead. They go to a DINER for another 50, and their board is just about covered here. The ? ball gives them the Lingo for 350 to the Yellows' 175.

Grant & Brad have a chance to catch up. Doesn't happen, though. Basem & Solange get EVERY to win, 400-175.

With three Bonus Lingo letters, Basem & Solange get TAUNT, BILLS, PAPER, GRAVY, LEACH, and MUTED for six. Lucky board up, and it's $10,000 for 44. Basem goes for it.. He gets.... 44! "No way!" Way. That's $10,000.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Last one down at the top of the show is the first one up on stage as Leah Brookman takes a floor clock. Now all she has to do is crack a really big safe for a trip to Puerto Vallarta and a weather station. The numbers...

0 6 7

She sets the dials at $670... but the weather station was $760. We also would've accepted a hammer or a blowtorch or a lockpick... Actually, I can't verify the validity of those guesses. I'll have to talk to Travis later. But I can verify that she won $1000 on the Big Wheel as well as a place in the Showcase.

She'll face Giovanna Maimone there. She wins a tennis bracelet after figuring that just under a carat of diamonds is worth about $1500. I guess it's a woman thing. She has a chance at a cotton candy cart, a telescope, a day bed with mattress, and a home gym. Time to Take Two. The target: $3059. The first two: the cart at $1408 and the gym at $1999. Way over. She goes with the cart and the telescope at $649. Way under. Should've gone with the home gym and the day bed.

Showcase time, and we're haunted by the spirit of that gym from earlier, as we visit the El Rippo Gym, where a "slightly incompetent trainer" gives out a range, a replica gas pump, and a Buick LeSabre. Leah passes to Giovanna (wha?), who bids $25,500, a difference of $5144. Leah, instead of getting a car, gets a boat... as in the one that pulls up to Port O'Price. On said boat: an LCD TV, a bar set, and two motorcycles. Leah bids $21,000.... way over the $13,842 asking price. Giovanna wins it with $32,194 in prizes.

Not really a good day at 33... in fact, the only W posted was from a fellow aptly named Will Price IV. Winning an area rug, Will also negotiates Squeeze Play to take a computer and armoire.

Others:
Ian Bereton: washer/dryer; grill, sound machine, mini-fridge and $500 playing Punch-a-Bunch
Helene Gold: water towables
Ronny Edwards, Sr.: stereo; $5000 playing Pass the Buck

STATS: 1/6, $51,321, and one fake muscle suit.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
We start off today with The Lottery! What's the lottery? There is a board of 12 items. There are 5 cards on the side board. If you should twice pick a card on the side board that matches the 12 cards on the stage, you win! What do you win? A new living room with glass tables worth $1,603!

Gladys the gypsy woman selects the red card. Juan the Elvis Impersonator selects green, and and Lydia the fruit girl gets the blue card. Gladys picks...the hand, which is on the board, so she can continue. Lydia gets...the bottle which is also on the board, so she can continue. Elvis has heartbreak, because his card doesn't match the board, so he sits down with $100.

Gladys and Lydia get 2 more cards. Once again, Gladys picks the red card and Lydia gets the blue card. Gladys has an opportunity to bail with the large box, but she doesn't want to do that - and she turns down appliances from Con Air worth $300. Lydia has the choice of a small box - which she wants. What does she get - a pair of nice watches worth $600, which is a good deal. Gladys makes a better deal - because her card is on the board and she wins the living room!

Next up - another gypsy woman by the name of Elizabeth. She has a choice - the Trato Hecho magic shoebox or curtain #1. Elizabeth wants toe curtain and does not want the shoebox. Do we have shoes in there? No - we have a $1,000 certificate to Home Depot! Instead, she gets the 3 amigos - or should I say, 3 sombreros, 2 dummies and one dancing Chasco, complete with maracas.

Who wants to price some items? Eduardo the newspaper hobo and Patricia the schoolgirl do. Here's how this works - the couple will start with $50 and will get $200 for each product should they correctly guess if the price listed is right or wrong (Think Price is Right's 5 Price Tags). Is the Derman Liquid $3.69? They say it isn't. The Price is...$3.69. No money for them. Next product - Is the Derman Deodorant Powder $3.19? They say it isn't. The Price is...$3.19 and they are 0 for 2. Final product - Is the Vitacilina $3.99? They say it is True and the price is...$2.99. The price is wrong, which matches the couple - they are wrong all 3 times and only have $50. Guillermo offers them Curtain #2 for $50, and of course, they take it. They receive a washer/dryer worth $1,098! not bad for stinking up the joint.

It's Gran Trato time, and the two players are Eduardo/Patricia and Lydia (Gladys decided that she wanted to keep the Living Room). The couple want door #1 and Lydia wants door #3, but we'll see door #2 first, as no one gets $850. Someone will be getting a new living room with tables worth $2,303. That someone is...Lydia, which means that Patricia and Eduardo get the Gran Trato. Today, it's a trip to Aruba, and when they come back, they will be greeted with a refrigerator, a dishwasher and a stove. Total value of this is...$5,597, which is the largest one that I've seen in a while. Turn in tomorrow to see if the Gran Trato will get any larger...
 
Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
It's Ladies Night at the Wheel today. Michelle Alvarez, a research assistant and grad student from San Diego, scores $1000 in the early tossup. Kelli Scantlin from Stigler, OK is also a student. Kris Coburn is an inventor from Renton, WA. Second tossup goes to Michelle as well, as she decodes DARTH VADER.

Let's go to Juneau for round 1. It can happen. Before & After, the category. Michelle picks up a free spin from an N. Kelli gets an Altrec.com gift card.. which she promptly has to give up to a Bankrupt. Kris gets $1000 from Orbitz. Why'd you buy an I, Michelle? You had BIKINI TOP SECRET sewn up! Now you only have $450, bumped to $1000. ... Oh, you were trying to be cute. Now I get it.

The BrandSource Jackpot puzzle is Around the House. Kris gets $1000 from AstraZeneca (company will make a matching donation to Breastcancer.org). Kris has to give that up to the black wedge. Michelle solves another one. This one is POWDERED LAUNDRY DETERGENT for $5750 so far.

Get your spin ID out for the Mystery Round, worth $10,000 to someone. On the Menu, the category. Michelle lands in Mystery Territory and gets the option from three L's. She's looking... She's finding... $10,000! Not only that, she finds the trip to Alaska. And it all goes away from demon Bankrupt. "This is painful." Kris solves WARM CORN OR FLOUR TORTILLAS for $850... and a trip to Cancun. Cancun awaits spin ID holder JL 02627.

Tossup #3: Kelli gets $3000 from MARKETING MANAGER. It's anyone's game, as we get a Final Spin from things. $1300 per consonant. Kelli solves COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS worth $9100 and the game for $12,100. Kris leaves with $5650, while Michelle leaves with $5750 and a bad case of suffix interruptus.

Fiancee Brian is watching as Kelli tries for $100,000 in the Bonus Round. The category: thing. After the usual six and DBG A, we get....

_ _ _ _ N G
_ A N

Say MOVING VAN... She didn't. She lost a Jeep Wrangler, but gets $12,100.

 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Ken Blundell (Kansas City, MO) got himself to $1,000. Can he get far enough to add a few more 0s to the end of that total?

At the University of Missouri, Ken likes to tease his students. One time, on the first day of class, he acted as a student at first, getting the students to talk bad about their professor. Then, he reveals himself to them as their professor! Talk about a cruel joke... Anyway, he's originally from England, and when the game resumes, the next question happens to ask what the term "Oxbridge" is used to refer collectively to in England! Coincidence? Well, naturally, Ken knows that it's the 2 best-known universities. After that, this $4,000 question shows up...

In a popular series of TV ads, women have "a totally organic experience" while noisily doing what?
A: Washing dishes
B: Brushing their teeth
C: Mopping the floor
D: Shampooing their hair

[Geez, I've seen enough of those commercials up here in Canada to make me wish I could forget them. But I digress.]

Ken doesn't know enough about this, so he asks the audience. And boy, do they ever come through! An astonishing 97% of the studio audience goes with D, and a not-so-astonishing-but-still-impressive 86% of the AIM poll concurs. So Ken goes with D, and is right! On to the $8,000 question...

On earth, a solar eclipse can only occur when the moon is in what phase?
A: Half-moon
B: New moon
C: Waning crescent
D: Waxing crescent

Ken uses the 50:50, which leaves B and C. He then goes with B... and it's B! Now, you may recall that yesterday, it was mentioned that Ken likes to gamble. Well, that's what he does on the $16,000 question, and it pays off, as he correctly guesses that one of Canada's most popular cocktails, made from clamato juice and vodka, is called the "Bloody Caesar". With that, he sees this for $25,000...

Giacomo, the surprise 2005 Kentucky Derby winner, was named after the son of what rock star?
A: David Bowie
B: Bono
C: Mick Jagger
D: Sting

And coming out of a commercial break, Ken was just talking about gambling on a horserace before seeing this question. Coincidence #2? Well, that doesn't exactly help with this question, so he calls a longtime friend of his, Tim. But Tim is unable to come up with a response in time. This leaves Ken with a tough decision, but eventually, he decides to gamble again and says B... but the gamble didn't work out this time! It's D! That's the third time in a row that someone missed the $25,000 question! Oh well, at least Ken gets $1,000 for his efforts.

Could Marilyn Fagen (Clifton Park, NY) do better? Her fiancé, Mark, is in the audience, and when they get married, she'll inherit the married surname Monroe. Marilyn Monroe. Yeah. Anyway, it's interesting that they're talking about marriage, as the first question on Marilyn's road to a possible million asks what the common phrase "ball and chain" is jokingly used to refer to. Coincidence #3? And yes, she knows that the answer is a spouse. After that, Marilyn breezes through some more questions, including one that asks what activity, by definition, a "double agent" engages in (espionage). Soon enough, she gets this for $4,000...

According to legend, what author got the name for his famous fictional land from a file cabinet drawer labeled "O-Z"?
A: C.S. Lewis
B: L. Frank Baum
C: Lewis Carroll
D: J.R.R. Tolkien

Marilyn asks the audience, and 61% of the studio audience and 40% of the AIM users say B. She goes with the audience... who is right! She then makes it through another question to reach $8,000...

..before time runs out for today. Marilyn will be back in the hot seat tomorrow.
