Another one of those bicoastal battles with the Syvertsens from Brooklyn. Round 1: some place a man goes where he sucks in his gut to look better (5) Launa's gym and Marie's bar tie for 2 and 3, so it goes to Launa, because she was quicker to the buzzer. A restaurant comes in at #5, but will the Syvertsens steal with beach? Number one! Syvertsens get 52. Other answer: party.

Round 2: a song with the word "moon" in the title (5). You know, there's a joke in here... but I don't get a chance to make it, because, well... Cecelia has diarrhea of the mouth and #2, "Blue Moon". Jeff gets #3, "Moon over Miami". "Moon River" is number one. Thanks, Clair! No more songs here, so we go to the champs, who have Van Morrison on the brain. Let's see "Dancin' in the Moonlight". D'oh, not there. Syvertsens up to 124. Other answers: "By The Light of the Silvery Moon", "Harvest Moon".

Double Round: something you associate with Boston (full board). The Red Sox beat creme pies, 2 to 5, giving the Syvertsens control. Marie gets #1, baked beans. Can the champs steal with the Celtics? No! The challengers are up to 230. Other answers: Boston Tea Party, seafood/chowder, Boston accent.

Triple Round: a famous person who's known for giving advice (4). Regina scores top of the board with Dr. Phil. Dr. Ruth, Oprah, and .. that's it. The Grunaus try Dear Abby... Got it for 183! That forces...

Sudden Death: a child's activity in which parents show up for moral support. Victor's in... "Class". Not there. John can seal it... "Little League game." Got it! Syvertsens win, 437-183.

Call it a state of Marie Clair, as both players get the $20,000.

Let's get two things straight first off. 1) Madison's a dude (and moreover, a dude with his mind on his money and his money on his mind), and Brady's a girl. 2) No one's mom writes or reads this site that we know of. But hey, I don't know. Stranger things have happened.

Madison's first $200 Warner Bros. Animation. But we have to go to the Solar System for $600 for this Daily Double. Madison, in a relatively distant second with $800, only bets what he has. For $1600 or nothing at all, here's your Daily Double: using Newton's Laws of Motion, astronomer Edmund Halley determined that these travel in elliptical orbits. "What are comets?" And he doubles up to $1600!

Oh, did we mention the free computer/printer pack from AOL for every kid playing this week? Well, just in case we didn't, there you go then. Madi$on (it's on his screen, dudes) can buy his own with the $4600 he has at the half. Dylan is close behind at $4000, but Brady, still stalled at the gate with $200, will kick off Double Jeopardy!... after the break.

Okay, break's over. Back to work. Brady starts with $400 Autumn Words, and had she hung onto it, she probably would've found the Daily Double under $2000. However, it belongs to Dylan, who fronts the level. What comes from the Latin for eight? "No.." October. This month. He drops to $3600. Second Daily Double will not be played. And even if it were, it couldn't help poor Brady, as she is out with -$5000. I know this is Kids' Week and I shouldn't really be cruel but... ugh... painful. It's Madi$on at $13,400 versus Dylan at $4000 going into...

Final Jeopardy! in "Classic Literature": Chapter 1 of this book describes "a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those... whirlwinds arose". Correct response: What is "The Wizard of Oz"?

Madi$on even included the tornado drawing, so Mr. $ is going home with $, $18,799 to be exact.

Mark & Jennifer apparently read the Shorts page yesterday, because the first thing they do is SCORE for 25. But Barry & Jo get their MOTOR running... to a red stopper. Mark & Jennifer BULLY their way back to control. They follow with LIGHT, VAULT, and HEARS, but Mark is stopped... Barry & Jo get back up in it with CARRY and WAIST... and the Lingo to tie it up at 125. And that's the way round 1 ends.

Round 2 starts with the Reds getting a new board. And a new word, DROWN, but Barry's stopped by a stopper. They recover with TACKY and SHOTS, but get shot by another stopper. On the bright side... Air guitar to the Lingo music! Air guitar to the win cue, Barry & Jo win, 275-125.

With two Bonus Lingo letters, Barry & Jo get TRICK, APPLY, MAGIC, GRASS, HABIT, SMALL, and TRUST for seven bills and seven balls. Lucky board up, and it's $10,000 for 20. It's what we call a 10 for 20 situation. Jo's down... and up with... 16. D'oh! It's a good 16, though, Jo says. Barry gets the 20 later for $5000.

We had guys yesterday. Now we have girls. Seth's song must include these words: Manlove (his last name), pinball (his favorite game), affectionate (described as), gosh (from "Napoleon Dynamite"). Who wants to go to Puerto Vallarta? Let's write songs.

Sara Marie gets to hang with the band, while BC goes into the writing room with RC. BC wants to make a rocking love song, while Sara Marie... thoroughly confuses the band. Apparently both players like saying "Manlove". Ryan's notes on BC: doesn't really know how to work in challenges. She asks for his help a lot.

Switch off time. Lyrics just fall off of Sara Marie's mind. "Whatever makes you sing better." Agreed. Meanwhile, BC tries to translate chords to the band. Looks like they might have it. Ryan's notes: she's got to decide on either singing or playing and singing. "If I were her, I'd just sing."

Performance time, let's meet Manlove. Now let's get rid of Manlove. It's time for Sara Marie to do her thing. Her song: "None Other Than Manlove". Lyrics work, but I'd get a new title. She takes Ryan's advice and "just sings". Just sings well. I'd go out with her... But that's just me. "I love how she used my name in the chorus!" Seth says.

Next up, BC, as she thinks they saved the best for last. Her song: "Take a Chance on Me". If you listen closely, you can barely hear her force out "Gosh". Not as strong as Sara Marie, and I think she has this one in the bag. Let's see what Seth thinks. "She was really good. It's gonna be a tough decision."

Momento del verdad... Seth picked... BC. Gosh?
