Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Cooley (Jennifer, Robbie, James, Lavelle, Phillip)
Yoo (Charlie, Thomas, Rachel, Sandy, Zina); $640

We have a five-on-six Feud today, as Jennifer is expecting. Round 1: a movie that takes place in space (7). Lost in Space bets Armageddon, 3 to 7, giving the Yoos the board. Thomas gets #1, Star Wars. 2001 and Star Trek are also Space Cases. Can the Cooleys steal with ET? Nope! The Yoos get the 67. Other answers: Apollo 13, Alien series.

Round 2: something that could happen if you don't pay the IRS (5). Thomas pays a fine for #2, while Robbie garnishes wages for #5. An audit is up there, but Zina has the money answer with "go to jail". The Cooleys get another chance to steal with an auction... Yep. The challengers have 84.

Double Round: a reason you might have to get your picture taken (5). Rachel's passport is at #2. Sandy's driver's license is #1. Graduation and family event are also there, but the Cooleys get it again with wedding pictures and go to 252.

Triple Round: something women wear that hurts (4). Sandy gets #2 with a brassiere. Lavelle gets #3 with a girdle. Zina's shoes hurt the most at #1. It's down to the Cooleys again with a thong... Up there! Cooleys win, 528-94.

Jennifer (and child) and Lavelle play Fast Money for three, nickel and diming their way to $585.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
It's the last day of Back to School Week...
 
Aman Birk (swimmer from Irvine, CA)
Veronica Fazio (dancer/softballer from Roselle, IL)
Emily Zhang (National Science Merit Award winner from Indianapolis)

We start off with Aman picking $200 Geography. And for the fifth time in five tries, we have an early Daily Double under $1000 Vocabulary Test. Emily, in the lead at $2400, goes $1600 on "earth measure". "What is geometry?" She's up to $4000.

Once again, you know about the free computer and printer that comes with your 15 minutes of fame today, so I'll go no further with it... Only to say that Aman wants to operate on someone's brain... And from the sound of it, he wants to do it now. At the end of the J! round, it's all about Emily, with $5600 to Aman's $1600. He might want to operate on Veronica's brain, because she's only got $1200 going into...

... Double Jeopardy!, which she starts with $400 Sports Stars. Emily finds the first Daily Double under $800 American Government. Still in the lead, she bets $1200 on the minimum number of electoral votes a state can have in the Electoral College. "I.. don't know." It was three, costing her to $5600. Emily completes the trifecta with $1600 Reptiles. Having rebounded, she goes $800. Here's Kelly. "The name of this animal, found in Africa, is from the Greek meaning 'ground lion.'" "What is iguana?" Nope, it's a chameleon, leaving Emily with $6400. It gets worse for her as she drops to second place at the end of regulation, with $2800 to Aman's $3200. Meanwhile, it gets downright painful for Veronica, who never managed to climb out of her red zone. She leaves with $1000.

So it's a battle of $2000 versus $10,000 in Final Jeopardy!. The category: "Historic People": at 81, this Pennsylvanian was the oldest delegate at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Correct response: Who was Benjamin Franklin?

In today's case, the difference between victory and defeat was an N, as Emily forgot to place one in "Bejamin." Aman remembers the N and all the other letters to take home $10,000.

 
Lingo by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on GSN
Host: Chuck Woolery
Best best friends Trista (clothing designer) & Sherron (pet sitter)
Good friends Anne (retail store owner) & Brooke (project manager fro a brokerage company)

Anne & Brooke get WOVEN for 25. Trista & Sherron return the favor with SWAMP, following with MOMMY and a stopper. They get the draw back with GRUMP, but lose it again on another stopper. They get it back with CROCK... and lose it on a Lingo, giving them 150 to the Reds' 25.

Anne & Brooke get ZOOMS and a red ball. They get their draw back with SHOWN. And that's the round, as Trista & Sherron lead, 150-75.

Round 2 starts with HOMES for Anne & Brooke. And yet another red ball. They get it back with ROBIN, and Lingo to take the lead with 275.

Anne & Brooke steal PLOWS, but Anne draws another red ball. Can Trista & Sherron capitalize? No. Brooke steals himself MOOSE, but draws red. Doesn't matter, as Anne & Brooke win, 375-150.

With two Bonus Lingo letters, Anne & Brooke get UNZIP, ABORT, HOBBY, CIVIC, and METRO for $500 and five balls, one for 10, four for 5. The cash ball is 20, and Anne comes up with... 66. But they do make the $5000.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
We're looking to end the week on a high note, and Bob enters from the audience, so we just might. It's all about Eric Mees, as he wins a fridge/freezer, as well as a chance to walk to Golden Road... ooooohhh. He starts with an 81-cent package of Jolly Ranchers. With that, he wins a $813 wine server cart. With that, he wins a $2394 off-road motorcycle. With that... he fumbles at the $81,243 cabin cruiser. D'oh! Oh well, can't take a bike on the water anyways.

He doesn't get to take the boat or the bike to the Showcase, though. That honor goes to Danielle Castrillo, who wins a curio cabinet in round 3, parlaying that into a win of... only $500 playing Plinko. At least she gets some radio binoculars, a desktop arcade game, and a tortilla maker as well, not to mention a spot in the Showcase.

She'll take on Carmilla Lancaster, who won her way up on stage thanks to a pool. Now she has a chance to win scuba gear and dinnerware at Barker's Bargain Bar. She thinks the scuba gear is the bigger bargain... and it is at $1000.

Onto the Showcase! First up, a home gym package with an exercycle, a home gym, and a crosstrailer. Add a snowmobile, and top winner Carmilla passes to Danielle, who bids $13,027. Meanwhile, Carmilla gets inventions that never quite made it: a smellaphone (for a new range), a calm pilot (for a trip to the ever-so-calm Hawaii), and a ramcorder (for a Dodge Ram). Carmilla tags it at $18,000, a difference of $14,211. Danielle's difference, a paltry $2480. She's today's winner with $17,667.

Other winners:
Jordan Higley: TV; trip to Portugal winning the Grocery Game
Kimberly St. Clair-Davis: luggage set; tailgate grill, popcorn machine & dinette winning Most Expensive
Darryl Taylor: wall clock

Stats: 3/6, $48,769, and one Palm Pilot with a palm tree planted inside.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Lou Corradi (Brooklyn, NY) made it to $8,000, but had to use all 3 of his lifelines on the way. Will he proceed any farther?

Lou has been pondering what the next question will be for a while, so he wants to get right to it. So they do just that, as the game resumes with a question asking which state's 20 electoral votes would end up determining the winner of the 2004 presidential election. And he just happens to know that it's Ohio. Lou also knows that in 2005, newly-released transcripts of Marilyn Monroe's therapy sessions revealed that she once had a tryst with Joan Crawford, and that knowledge gets him to $25,000 and the 4th lifeline! He'll have to use that lifeline on the next question, though, because he doesn't know the name of a fifth world ocean that the International Hydrographic Organization demarcated the limits of in 2000 (Southern Ocean). So, Lou switches that out, and in comes this question, also worth $50,000...

"Borborygmi" is the technical name for a bodily condition more commonly referred to as what?
A: Ringing in the ears
B: Growling stomach
C: Frog in the throat
D: Seeing spots

Lou immediately locks in his answer, B... and he's right! He actually heard George Carlin do a joke about "Borborygmi", which is how he knew that one. But he doesn't know what animal whose Latin term the colour taupe (a brownish gray) gets its name from (mole), so Lou walks with $50,000.

Next in the hot seat is Kathy Nucifore (Cornwall, NY). She brought a fortune from a fortune cookie as a good-luck charm, which says, "The star of riches is shining upon you." Sounds like a good omen to me. Kathy starts by knowing that the ancient Chinese famously constructed a 3,000-mile-long "great wall" to keep their enemies at bay. She continues through other questions, including one that asks how long an Olympiad, an interval of time, lasts by definition (4 years), before getting to this $8,000 question...

At the National Spelling Bee, what do the judges do to indicate that a word has been spelled incorrectly?
A: Raise a flag
B: Ring a bell
C: Blow a whistle
D: Hit a buzzer

Kathy has no idea, so she asks the audience. But the results turn out to be quite interesting. The studio audience shows 55% in favour of D, with 23% saying B. But the AIM poll shows 51% in favour of B, with 35% saying D. Talk about disagreement between audiences... Anyway, Kathy decides to use the 50:50 to see if it'll help any, but guess what? It leaves B and D, meaning that one of the audiences is right. But which one? After some consideration, Kathy decides to trust the studio audience, and goes with D... but she trusted the wrong audience! It's B! The AIM audience had it! Oh well, at least Kathy does take home $1,000.

Moving on to the next contestant, Melissa Ginsberg (Great Neck, NY). She's a law student at Columbia University, in her first year. And she starts by knowing that in response to the greeting "Give me five," friends typically slap hands. Melissa then breezes through more questions, including one that asks what U.S. highway sign usually shows a car leaving S-shaped tire tracks (slippery when wet). Soon enough, this $4,000 question comes up...

What country star duets with Jessica Simpson in her 2005 cover of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"?
A: Dolly Parton
B: Willie Nelson
C: Loretta Lynn
D: Kenny Rogers

Melissa asks the audience. This time, both are in agreement, as 65% of the studio audience and 69% of the AIM users say B. She trusts them, and goes with B... and they're right!

[This should be a good time to remind you of the Million Dollar Buddy contest, detailed at millionairetv.com. As for me, it doesn't help to be a Canadian when the contest is open to U.S. residents only...]

On to the $8,000 question...

In order to avoid E. coli, people are commonly warned not to eat what?
A: Undercooked beef
B: Raw oysters
C: Raw cookie dough
D: Wild mushrooms

The 50:50 leaves A and C. Not enough help for Melissa, though, so she calls her father, Edwin. He says he is 85% sure that it's A, though some part of him is 100% sure. Melissa goes with that and says A... and she's up to $8,000!

And that's all for this week. Melissa will start Monday in the same situation that Lou started today in ($8,000, no lifelines).
