Leandro

clown
$500 |
If Raymond looks familiar, he was
on "Que Dice La Gente" with his family not too long ago.
Juego de
Palabras: wings, resorts, oranges, and music give Raymond the
early lead, 20-10. They only manage to get three of those, though.
Adivina Adivinador: would you
rather have a twin who's financially or romantically successful?
Would your father lend Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan his car?
Which is worse, a third eye on your forehead or a third hand on
your chest? The answers narrow the gap with Raymond still in
front, 60-50.
Still anyone's game in Juego
Rápido... but Raymond holds on to win, 135-75.
Juego Del Tiempo: Raymond gets
enemy and pool for $500.

We continue with Evian week - which is
quite cruel right now to us Jews, who can't eat - or drink -
anything from Wednesday sundown to Thursday at sundown. BAD EVIAN.
But we spin the bottle and land on #18 - John Aniatz, who already
won a supply of Evian for a year, and who needs a new car (since
he just crashed his old one). John works in security, and he'd
love to secure $500,000 more. He stays with #18 and opens some
cases, starting with #6 (Roy) - $75,000. #17 (Kristi) - $100. #9 (Bacchi)
- $10. #2 (Pammy) - $500. #13 (Rema) - EVIAN PACKAGE! Good for
Rema, and not too bad for John. Offer: $20,000. NO DEAL! 5 cases
to open.
And we'll open them thanks to Gary (#19 - $50), Jennica (#11 -
$5,000), Ravi (#5 - $250,000), Big E (#22 - $7,500) and David (#15
- $500,000). Brutal round for John, who only has the $100,000 left
in the lower right hand corner. And the Banker wishies to
intimidate the security officer. Offer: $7. $7? Wha? NO DEAL! 4 to
open.
#16 (Jennier) - $200. #1 (Mary) - $400. #20 (Traci) - $2,500. #3
(Kevin) - $300. John bounces back with a great round, and it's now
a draw board.
PENNY, $1, $5, $25, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000
OFFER: $12,500. NO DEAL! Two cases to open. He can't get rid of
all the big ones. #21 (Lisa) - $10,000. #14 (Carra) - $25,000
Safety net is disappearing...
PENNY, $1, $5, $25, $50,000, $100,000
OFFER: $9,000. NO DEAL! Two cases to open. If John survives the
round, he'll be in good shape. If he doesn't, then he may see that
$7 offer again. #12 (Michelle) - $5. He'll avert disaster... #10
(Stephanie) - $1. Back to a draw board.
PENNY, $25, $50,000, $100,000
OFFER: $18,000. NO DEAL! One case to open. #4 (Hollie) - $25.
PENNY, $50,000, $100,000
OFFER: $31,000. The book of Chico says to go for it. The book of
Gordon says to go for it. John...agrees. NO DEAL! #7 (Quan) -
PENNY! Yay, book of Chico and Gordon!
$50,000, $100,000
FINAL OFFER: $71,000. John will get his car. The question is what
make and model. John...DEALS for $71,000. Chico and Gordon would
have gone on. And they both...would have walked off with $100,000.
It's still a nice haul for John, but he gave the Banker a $29,000
rebate. We'll see if tomorrow's contestant can leave with more
than a discount.
Nightcap! Jenny Sissern,
who is a stay-at-home mom and has left the house for the first
time since giving birth to her kid, wants to get a new house - or
at least enough money for a new garden. She gets the highest offer
in the game at $18,000, and with only $75,000 left, she takes it.
her next pick...would have knocked out the $75,000. Perfect deal
for Jenny...who only had $10 in her case. We'll see if anyone else
can make a perfect deal tomorrow. |

Weston
(Herb, Tanya, Orson, Herbie, Quentin) |
Black
(Renee, Allen, Brittany, Terry, Debra)
$555 |
Round 1 (6): something a woman
might say she misses about her ex-husband. Herb gets the big one,
a paycheck. The Westons follow up with cuddling. The Blacks try
and take it with companionship. Not there, 59 to the Westons.
Other answers: the sex, help around house, his face/smile, his
jokes/humor.
Round 2 (7) a specific part of the
body that shrinks as a person get older. Tanya fires prematurely
with the chest for #2. Quentin gets the big one, the height. Other
parts include privates and legs. The Blacks try to steal again
with brains... Got it for a one-point Feud and 58. Other answers:
arms/biceps, "patootie".
Double (5): something people
associate with caveman. Brittany gets #3, fire. Orson goes with a
bat... or a club... either way, it's number one. Cavewoman is also
there. The Blacks have the steal once again with a cave, right?
Wrong. 203 to the Westons. Other answers: fur/skin clothes,
grunting/speech. Sadly, car insurance is not on the board.
Triple (4): something people put in
their backyards to give them shades. Herbie gets #2, umbrella.
Terry gets #4, canopies. Quentin gets the big one, trees. Gazebos
win the game, 500-58.
Fast Money: Herbie & Herb
get four of the five number ones for 200 and $20,000. |

Say hi to Dave, Phil and Jill, who all
give us 2 thumbs up. Jill has 2 minutes to give us the name of a
female actor: 1980's star / adult / comedy / starred in a series
in the past 5 years / blonde / star is a classy blonde...Judith
Light? No...plays Carrie Bradshaw's editor / model / hosted
Saturday Night Live / played a lawyer / co-starred with William
Shatner / played a TV Reporter / played a recovering alcoholic /
massired to Louis Malle / character criticized by U.S.
Vice-President...TIME. It was Candice Bergen, and no seconds for
Jill.
Let's see if Phil can get any seconds with a male actor: 1960's
star / movie star / adult / alive / starred in a western / starred
in a series of beer commercials / acted on Broadway / starred in
Gunsmoke / guest-starred in X-Files / starred with James Arness /
played a blacksmith / divorced Loni Anderson...Burt Reynolds? Yes
for 28 seconds.
It's the melodramatic Dave's turn, and he gets a female actor:
starred in an 1980's series / dark hair / adult / starred in more
than 1 series / comedy / was on Kids Incorporated... Mary Tyler
Moore??!!?!? Wha?...appeared on Family Guy / co-starred with
Camryn Manheim / Lacey Chabert / star of The Ghost Whisperer...Is
It That Girl? Wha??!!?.... connected to Enrique Iglesias...TIME.
It was Jennifer Love Hewitt. We had a very sad round 1. How sad?
AFTER ROUND 1:
Jill: -0:30 Phil: 0:03 Dave: -0:20
That sad.
Jill gets a second shot with a series: Comedy-Drama / 1980's debut
/ Name in title / about work or job / characters have been in
other shows / lead character has 5 passports / a main character
was a former IRS agent / shows based on movie plots / Humphrey
Bogart fan / character named Laura Holt / stars Doris Roberts /
Thief becomes a PI... Magnum PI? No...TIME. It was Remington
Steele and Jill is all done and toasty.
Phil can get into the positive with a female actor: starred in a
2000 series / starred in more than 1 series / adult / starred in a
fantasy series / reporter on Battlestar Galactica / was on
Celebrity Duets / guest starred in The X-Files / was on a series
with Renee O'Connor...Lucy Lawless? Yes! for 47 seconds.
Dave has to get a male character in under 1:15 in order to
win...drama / adult / dark hair / revolves around work or job /
married / has commitment issues...Lance Armstrong? Ha...unethical
/ loses his fortune / father named Jacque / wife is an alcoholic /
son is kidnapped / who shot him?...JR Dallas? NO...JR Ewing?
Yes...for a meager 6 seconds.
FINAL
Jill: -0:50 Phil: 0:25 Dave: -0:37
The -0:50 right now is a record for futility. Maybe Phil can get
out of futility and win $10,000 if he gets a male actor: 1980's
star / adult / blonde hair / born in New York / was in a show for
the past 5 years / starred in the short lived show Grand Slam /
bounty hunter / guest starred in Dr/. Quinn. medicine woman /
about Supernatural Shows / guest starred in Diagnosis Murder /
Just a good ol' boy / Politician...Dave Schneider? WHO? No... Was
in Smallville / co-starred with Annette O'Toole / was in Hee Haw /
was a director / starred as Bo Duke...TIME. It's JOHN Schneider.
Phil does win $500 and plays the Winner's Game tomorrow. Join us
then to see who wins it. |

Can Erik come up with the knowledge,
the killer instinct, and the stick-to-itiveness to win an
unprecedented $100,000 tonight?
Erik Nelson
Boston
grad student
$94,404, four days |
Kate Cell
Shutesbury, MA
communications consultant |
Jim Davis
Freeport, IL
college music & humanities instructor |
Erik starts with $200 The New York
Times Election Coverage. Jim finds the Daily Double under $800 in
that category. Tied with Kate, he bets $1000 on this: "Forecasts
Upset", read the front page in this year; at least the Times knew
who defeats whom. "What is 1948?" Correct for $3000! Erik's charge
to $100,000 gets that much harder at the half as he only has $3600
to Kate's $5800 and Jim's $5600. The champ will have a chance to
control the flow of Double Jeopardy!, which he starts...
... with $400 Small State Capitals,
with Jim finding the first Daily Double under $1600. He bets $3000
on this: this city became a state capital in 1826, the same year
the president for which it was named died. "What is... " Jefferson
City, leaving him with $5000. Kate finds the other under $2000
Flowers. She fronts $2500, please, on this: you might "remember"
that this flower, also called a scorpion plant, is a symbol of
friendship & true love. "What is a forget-me-not?" That would've
gotten her the money, but she drops to $6900 on "rosemary". It's a
close match between Erik's $15,200 and Jim's $15,400, as the two
were going head-to-head all round lone. Kate has $8500 and could
very well pull the upset.
Final Jeopardy! in "Epic
Movies": an actress named Martha Scott played Charlton Heston's
mother in both of these epics. Correct response: what are "Ben-Hur"
& "The Ten Commandments"?
Erik... is right. Jim... is also
right. Did Jim wager enough? By a dollar. He wins $30,401, while
Erik leaves to get ready for Vegas with $96,404.

The tightness of the table took its

continues with five.
Howard "The
Professor" Lederer
$40,000 |
Mickey Appleman
$18,000 |

BLINDS: $400/$800 |
Mike Shichtman
$8000 |
Mike goes all-in with A-Kc. Howard
has 10s and Jay has Q-9d, but unlikely to call. Howard calls,
though. Flop: 5-6-2. Mike's looking for Leeann. Turn: 4h. Mike
needs a King or Ace to win the pot and a 3 to chop it. River: 9c
doesn't do it. Mike Shichtman is out in fifth.
Howard's way in front with Q-10d
against Mickey's Q-9. The flop: 5-7-9. Mickey gets a pair.
Mickey's all-in, Howard mucks, and Mickey takes $20,400. He tries
again with 5s against Jay's J-10. Flop: 6-5-2. Mickey flops the
set. Turn: As. Mickey tries to get Jay to bet here.. He bets
$4200. Mickey goes all-in... and this could be an easy muck for
Jay... and it is. Mickey's patience pays off.
Mickey has emerged as a challenger
to Howard's chip lead, but tomorrow is another day. |

Lawrence gets a $1050 pair of

to work off of a $1900 bank to America's $1450.

Karen gets Authors... and Olympics,
meaning, much to Karen's dismay, it's Heavy Metal for the game.
Here's Gus from Rhode Island. "What popular metal rock band had
the songs 'Enter Sandman' and 'Until It Sleeps'?" Now you and I
know it's Metallica, but does Karen know? Yep. She wins $13,400! |

We are in the middle of some Extreme
Adventures here on the Wheel!
The $1,000 Tossup is EVENT. Jouya Raskagar from Oakton, VA solved
AMERICA'S CUP for $1,000. He is a public health researcher who
speaks 4 languages and is engaged. Mary Fox is from Cape Coral, FL
and is in insurance. She has 2 Kids, and loves the ocean.
Cassandra Raskin and is a rocket scientist! Really. She graduated
from USC and her fiancee is a rocket scientist as well.
The $2,000 Tossup is PLACE. Jouya quickly has $3,000 with AIRPORT
LOUNGE. We add this to the wheel...a 3 day Scuba diving adventure
with accomodations at the Buccaneer hotel in St.Croix worth
$9,215. The category is SHOW BIZ. Jouya starts and misses. Mary
misses. Cassandra hits and picks up the Million Dollar Wedge. She
misses. Jouya misses. Mary misses. Cassandra solves IMAX MOVIE
THEATER for $1,550 and the MDW.
The IHOP Jackpot Round is PHRASE...and a PRIZE PUZZLE. Mary
starts, she picks up the Garman GPS Gift Tag. She picks up the
Free Spin and $300 for the L. She hits Lose A Turn, uses the Free
Spin, and solves MY LUCK IS ABOUT TO CHANGE for $2,800, the gift
tag ...and a trip to Las Vegas! It's a trip to MGM Grand Hotel
with Show Tickets and more from Vegas.com worth $5,200! If you
have MD1632194, you are off to Vegas! Remember the SONY CARD
BONUS! She has $9,000 in cash and prizes!
Campbells Mystery Round is QUOTATION. Cassandra starts. Will she
risk the $1,950 for a shot at $10K and a loss of the MDW...no way!
(Good Move). She picks up the Caribbean. She hits 2 $3,500 B's.
She solves TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE for $13,200
in cash and the trip! She has a total of $23,965 in cash, trip and
MDW!
The $3,000 Tossup is FUN AND GAMES. Jouya sweeps the tossups with
STEALING SECOND BASE for $6,000. It's LANDMARK. Jouya starts and
hits Lose A Turn. Mary misses a vowel. Cassandra misses. Jouya
hits 2 $5,000 F's and goes into a FINAL SPIN worth $1,600 a
letter. Jouya solves THE PETRIFIED FOREST for $12,700. He leaves
with $18,700--what a nice 2nd place total. Mary is in third place
with $9,000...and a trip to Vegas...but Cassandra is going to the
bonus round for the 2nd shot at the Million Dollars with $23,965
in cash and trips!
The pre bonus round total is $51,665--a great total by any
standard. Everyone did well! But can Cassandra be the first to win
the Million? Let's find out.
Just to remind you. The $1,000,000 wedge replaces the $100,000

Jim Quay (Sandy Springs, GA) - Father
and grandfather

Upper - Novel Endings, Sloppy Seconds, George W. Bush, Heavy
Medals, Big Bucks
Jim sweeps the lower tier (despite almost screwing up at $300),
then moments later, this pops up...
[$8,000] (Foreign Foods)
Which of these dishes is traditionally prepared in a molcajete, a
heavy bowl made of volcanic rock?
A: Kimchi
B: Tzatziki
C: Baba ganoush
D: Guacamole
Jim decides to ask the audience, and 55% are thinking D. He trusts
them... and they're right!
[$16,000] (Pokémon)
As any Pokémon-loving kid could tell you, Pikachu is primarily
what color?
A: Red
B: Yellow
C: Green
D: Blue
Unsure of this, Jim wants to know what the expert thinks. Jay
Thomas says that he has a kid who is a huge fan of Japanese Anime,
and he then says that it's B. Jim locks that in... and it's B!
[$25,000] (Island Names)
Because it was once a seabird habitat, which of these islands
derives its name from a word meaning "pelicans"?
A: Manhattan
B: Nantucket
C: Oahu
D: Alcatraz
Jim uses the Double Dip. His first answer is D... and he has
$25,000!
[$50,000] (Novel Endings)
In which of these novels is the last word of the novel the same as
the title of the novel itself?
A: Lolita
B: Ulysses
C: Atonement
D: Deliverance
After giving it enough thought, Jim says A with 7 seconds left...
and he's right!
[$100,000] (Sloppy Seconds)
Although he doesn't get as much credit, Alfred Russel Wallace
proposed roughly the same major theory as what better-known
scientist?
A: Niels Bohr
B: Isaac Newton
C: Charles Darwin
D: Albert Einstein
Jim calls his son-in-law, Charles, but unfortunately, he doesn't
give his answer in time. So, Jim decides to walk. He was thinking
B, but it's C, so it's a good thing he took the $50,000! And that
is all for today! |
