100 Mexicanos Dijeron by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Cooley (Jennifer, Robbie, James, Lavelle, Phillip); $585
Fox (Walter, Beverly, Rebecca, Cynthia, Raenelle)

By the time you watch this, Jennifer would've already given birth. Good way to start life. Round 1: something people say is "on the house" (5). Walter fires with drinks, #1. No more answers from the challengers, as the champs go with dinner. That's a steal of 88. Other answers: address, chimney, roof (hey, it's on the house).

Round 2: a word a dieter thinks about that starts with "C" (6). Robbie fires with calories, #1. The champs also think about cake, carbs, chocolate, and cholesterol. Some good steals over with the Foxes, but they go with cellulite. Good answer... just not there. The champs up to 168. Other answer: cookies.

Double Round: if people could have a spare body part, something you wouldn't mind having an extra one of (5). James' arm is #2. Good for control. Jennifer scores top of the board with hand. Eye, brain, and heart are good for the runout and 294.

Triple Round: the worst place to accidentally fall asleep (4). Lavelle goes behind the wheel for #1. Work is #2. Can the Cooleys steal with smoking? No, the Cooleys blank the Foxes, 504-0. Other naswer: church, bus/train (said!)

After the ladies fail to take $20,000, the dudes get a shot with Robbie and James.. but they only manage 163, thanks to James blanking out twice. They get $815.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Melissa Prepster (teacher from Kyle, TX); $19,395
Stuart Nadler (writer from Brooklyn, NY)
Paul Tavianini (office assistant from Burbank, CA)

It's been a long week for Melissa, but she's back and ready to fire again. She starts us back up and running with $200 My Own Private Idaho, finding the Daily Double early under $1000 and making it true. The clue: calling itself the birthplace of television, Rigby, Idaho was the boyhood home of this technology pioneer. "Who is Spencer?" Nope. It was Philo Farnsworth, as she's zapped to nothingness...

But it wouldn't last, as she leads at the half $5800 to Paul's $2200. Stuart, who started out in the red, has $2000 and will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Quotable Sports. Melissa sticks with the 19th Century despite a downward trend on that category. Good thing she did; $2000 is the Daily Double. With $6600, she halves the level on the country of the Rio de la Plata. "What is Chile?" On the other side, it was Uruguay, as she is left with $5600. Paul can capitalize with his Daily Double under $1600 South of the Border. He fronts $1000 on the name that comes from a heckler yelling "In the cantina you talk big!" "Who is Bob Hope?" Cantinflas, as we go zero for three in the Dailies, giving Paul $10,000. It gets worse for Stuart, who loses all of his money. He'll leave with $1000. Meanwhile, it's Melissa's $11,200 versus Paul's $14,800 as we go to...

Final Jeopardy! in "Europe": of national entirely within Europe, it was the largest in area in 1571 & 1771, not on the map in 1871, & no. 6 in 1971. Correct response: What is Poland?

Both are right... but Paul makes the fool error of betting nothing, literally handing the game on a silver platter to Melissa, who goes into tomorrow's match with another $22,311, $41,706 for two days.

 
The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Kicking off the week in high fashion. Monday's goings-on in 7800 are as follows.

Only one black mark on today's record. Contestant Olivia Cardwell managed to capture a $2695 bumper pool table, then Bob took her to a Swap Meet. Her starting prize: a Barbecues Galore elite grill. She had to swap for either a pair of Samick electric guitars and amps, a Universal Fitness home gym, or a Highbrow Furniture desk chair. Her choice for the swap: the guitars, valued at $1999. The barbecue: $899. Shoulda swapped for the chair. Sorry, Olivia.

>From then on out, the players set their sights skyward. Contestant Rachel Durell captured a pair of Shizzle bikes, then went Bonkers for a Great Lakes barrel sauna. It took her 27 seconds and a little Barker brand encouragement to win a $5245 sauna.

Contestant Joel Smith, after claiming a $999 Wizard gumball machine, Passed the Buck for a $16,850 Pontiac Sunfire. His first choice, #2, was the first dreaded LOSE EVERYTHING. But, since he had three sons, he took #3, and lo and behold, there lied the car. Needless to say, he quit with the car and left the remaining selection up to mystery.

Contestant Christopher Sole shopped around at Barker's Bargain Bar for alliterative trips to Seattle (marked $2213) and Sedona (marked $2860). He believed the Seattle trip was the bigger bargain, which it was, ARP $3713 over Sedona's $3860. His total take with a $2000 Jeff Wilkie painting was $9573.

Someone say Bonus Game? Contestant Donovan Clay swept the BG board, winning all four small gifts (air freshener/alarm clock, blender, tool kit, metal bank), and claiming an Ashley dining room with Noritake dinnerware.

Wait, we need another car. Is there another one Lined Up? There certainly is, for contestant Dawn Cline. She captured a very impressive stereo system, valued at $470, and played Line 'Em Up for a Jeep Wrangler SE, a pair of Murray Feiss lamps, a Senseo coffee maker, and a Kershaw Knives butcher block. She lined up the price of the Jeep ($18,795) on the first shot, taking her total jackpot on the day to $21,126.

One more thing to do...the Showcases. Donovan (after winning an additional $1000 in the Showdown) and Rachel are our Top Winner and Runner-Up. Our first Showcase, about Finnicky Frieda's trip to Cafe Barker, gave us a Flexsteel recliner, a golf arcade cabinet, a pair of patio heaters, and a Chrysler Crossfire coupe. Donovan's bid: $35,000. Rachel's Showcase consisted of a Pulaski bedroom with Wamsutta bedding and a Strobel Supplepedic sleep set, a 42" Plasma EDTV, and a Yamaha snowmobile. Her bid: $15,000. Rachel's Showcase, valued at $22,502, gave her a difference of $7502. Huge gap, right? Donovan's Showcase was $43,788, for a difference of $8788. Rachel ends up walking away with her Showcase and a take of $28,645.

STATS: 5/6; $86,996
 
Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera
Heather (18; Long Beach, CA; guitar player); loves the Foo Fighters and Ani DiFranco, cheats on most of her boyfriends
Danielle (18; Corona, CA; actress/model/coffee barista); loves Maroon 5 and Gwen Stefani, has a real soulful voice
Taylor Sergi (20; Simi Valley, CA; "master of the board sports"); likes to do anything that pretty much ends with "boarding", plays defense on football

Two ladies are going to have to put the pen down proper in order to win a ride on a surfer. Here are Taylor's words: Taylor, joke, football, and embarrassing (because he is... his words). A trip to Puerto Vallarta is on the line. Let's do it!

Danielle's first in the writing room, while Heather makes nice with the band. Danielle wants to compare her song with Jimmy Eat World (the working title: "Taylor Made for Me"). Meanwhile, Danielle likes to keep her music upbeat a la Sheryl Crow. Her song is nothing but power chords (my guess, because they're easy and they get the job done). Ryan's notes: Danielle has a sort of Shania Twain, Pat Benatar thing going on. Nice to know that señor host has been reading up.

Time to switch! And we have "not even close" to a song with Heather. All she has are chords... and she can't even remember most of them. Meanwhile, Danielle doesn't have an ending, but she still has hope. It comes together on both sides... but Heather needs some words fast. Ryan's notes on Heather: the song is starting to shape up.

Let's hit the stage with Taylor. Okay, let's get rid of Taylor. First up, Heather, who sure as hell likes a good time, sings "Good Time". You write that song to him? That's a real crap song, you know? And it's a real crap singer singing it. Taylor feels it, though.

Danielle, please be better than this. She calls her song "Taylor Made". I have to say that this one was better than the last one. But then again, it wasn't that hard to beat something like the car crash that was Heather's song. What does Taylor think? "That was awesome!" He has an idea.

And it's... Danielle! No surprise there. Or at least a good choice.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  12p ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
We start today with an unusual sight - someone dressed as a businessman. We're ready to do business though, as Guillermo gives Jose $400. He gets weighted - and he weighs 190 pounds. Yudith the Cat Lady says that he weighed 158, while Elvira the clown says that he weighs 165. Yudith is closer, so she wins $400 - which she can spend right away on the small box. She decides to hold on to the money and gives up a trip to Las Vegas and $600 worth of gas for a total of $1,200. Does Jose want to spend his money on Curtain #1? He doesn't, but he could have had a nice lawn mower and a storage shelf worth $1,097!

We haven't seen a chasco yet. Marisela, who is dressed as a giant pumpkin, doesn't want to see one now. She gets not a Chasco, but $100, which she can spend in one of two ways - either buying Vitacilina and what's behind it, or Curtain #3. Marisela wants some Vitacilina, so she buys that. Behind the curtain - ah there's the first Chasco of the day, as we see a stuffed donkey with an old man with a mop on his head. Inside the Vitacilina - $1,000! A nice deal for Marisela as she sits down happy.

We go to the jungle to get Aida the cheetah woman. She gets a packet of money with $20 on each side, which she can trade for Curtain #2. She does and gets a nice refrigerator worth $1,095. The money goes to Roger the sumo wrestler - and now we add another packet with $100 on each side. He can keep the money or trade it for Curtain #1. He keeps the money and turns down a trip to the Chasco Barber Shop, where the guy with a mop on his head is getting a trim. Total of the money in the packets? $745, which is a nice deal for Roger.

But who wants to go after something nice - such as over $14,000 worth of stuff? Cheetah woman Aida and Pumpkin lady Marisela both do, and we have your two traders. Elizabeth wants Door #1 and Marisela wants door #3. What we see first? Door #2, where that person would have gotten a trip to Mexico, a camera and some watches worth a total of $5,110. That's usually the Gran Trato, but not on this show. Next up is door #....1, where Aida will get $1,000. It's Marisela which will get the Gran Trato - which is a Ford worth $14,685! Marisela is thrilled as we leave you on this Columbus Day weekend.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
Are you bored of your humdrum life? Then you better ESCAPE! That's the theme for Wheel this week. Barry, a pharmaceutical sales rep and professor, Lisa, a mail services manager, and Kelli, a massage therapist will do the escaping today. Barry has $1000 already from the first toss-up. And now he has another $2000 for CAPTURE THE FLAG.

Who wants to go to Belize? It's on the Wheel for round 1. It's an Event. Kelli makes a quick $2500 with a G. But it's Barry with the solve of PAYING BILLS ONLINE for $1800, $4800 so far.

Eggland's Best Jackpot Round, and we're dealing with a Thing. And it's a Prize Puzzle. You know what that means. Lisa runs out on vowels, and she knows about the RED-AND-WHITE-STRIPED BEACH TOWEL for $7800... and a trip to a place where you can use that... The Bahamas! And if you're Spin ID KF02704, you and your red-and-white-striped beach towel are on the way as well. So far, she's got $16,095.

Plan your own escape with a Kia Rio this week in the Mystery Round. The category: Stars & Roles. Kelli picks up the trip to Belize with an S, solving BRAD PITT & ANGELINA JOLIE AS MR. & MRS. SMITH rather quickly for $4250 and the trip to Belize. All together, $10,330.

Barry gets the third tossup SMALL POTATOES for $3000. He starts out round 4, People. Kelli runs out on vowels, solving GREAT-GRANDPARENTS for $1950 more, $12,280. Another round, I say! This one's a speed round, occupation's the category. Consonants are worth $1900. Lisa's your big winner with PHYSICAL THERAPIST for $19,895.

Let's escape to the Bonus Wheel as we deal with a person. With the regular six and HMF I, she gets something...

M _ _ I E
_ _ F F

Looks like a MOVIE BUFF... Got it! And what does she get? A Chevy Trailblazer! Which means it's Spin ID time once again. New wheels to the person with ID FG01160. Both winners have 24. 

 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Last time, Melissa Ginsberg (Great Neck, NY) made it to the $8,000 level, but she needed all 3 lifelines to get there. Can she win some more money on her own?

Melissa didn't think she'd be in the hot seat in the first place, but her mother pestered her to go for it, and now, here she is. And now, she has a chance to move up to $16,000, but only if she knows what has been the most popular purebred dog in the U.S. for 15 straight years, according to the American Kennel Club. However, Melissa doesn't know that it's the labrador retriever, so she walks with what she has, which is $8,000.

Next up is Mark Feldman (Los Angeles, CA), whose nickname is Big Daddy-O. He has it on his license plate, and at his kids' elementary school, other kids, even those whom he didn't know, called him that. Mark begins by knowing that when being sworn in, a courtroom witness is commonly instructed to raise his right hand (fixing the judge's hair would probably be best left to someone else). After that, Mark easily breezes through more questions, like one which asks what classic song instructs you to say its title "a little bit softer now" and "a little bit louder now" (Shout), and one which asks what special day has its origins in the Catholic celebration of Candlemas, which happens 40 days after Christmas (Groundhog Day). This game show fan makes it up to $16,000 without any lifelines, before getting to this one worth $25,000...

"Annulary" is a fancy word for what body part?
A: Eyelid
B: Ring Finger
C: Nostril
D: Big Toe

Mark decides to call his good friend, Dave. After apparently conferring with a small group of supporters, Dave comes up with B, saying they're sure. Mark goes with it and says B... and Big Daddy-O is up to $25,000! He then easily gets through the $50,000 question, but at the $100,000 level, he doesn't know what state capital's name is believed to come from a Native American phrase meaning "a good place to dig potatoes" (Topeka). So, he switches the question, and in comes this substitute question for $100,000...

Upon his death, what singer was buried with a bottle of whiskey, cigarettes, a lighter and ten dimes?
A: Hank Williams
B: Johnny Cash
C: Buddy Holly
D: Frank Sinatra

The 50:50 is used, and it leaves C and D. Mark decides to gamble, because he has an inkling. He goes with D... but they gotta take a commercial break first! I don't know, but have they ever made a contestant wait through a commercial break before revealing whether he/she was right or wrong like this before? I certainly don't remember seeing such a thing happen. Okay, the break is over... and it's D! Mark is up to $100,000! Now, for the $250,000 question...

The phrase "warts and all" comes from what British leader's directions on how to paint his portrait?
A: William the Conqueror
B: Richard III
C: Henry VIII
D: Oliver Cromwell

Mark still has Ask-the-Audience, so he uses it. Oh boy, we've seen this type of situation before. In the previous episode, to be exact. 45% of the studio audience goes with D, while C is in second at 30%. But 45% of the AIM audience goes with C, while D is in second at 29%. The last time this type of thing happened, the AIM audience was right. Well, Mark decides to gamble yet again, and his gut agrees with 45% of the AIM users, so he goes with C... but the studio audience was right this time! It's D! A disagreement between the polls proves to be costly once again, and Mark will have to settle for $25,000.

And that's all she wrote for today. Tomorrow is another day, with another contestant ready to make an attempt to climb to the million.
