Air time: Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn

Ali (Falasha, Ebony, Victoria, Cathy, Traci); $20,000

Rambo (Jack, Angela, JR, Natalie, Jay) from Dallas

Which of these families will draw first blood? Let's Feud! Round 1: 100 married women, something you wouldn't want to tell your husband if he was in a bad mood (6). Jack's auto accident beats Falasha's affair, 2 to 6. Angela spends too much for #1. The Rambos also lose their job, but gain 62 when the Alis can't convert with divorce. Other answers: problem with dinner, having a baby.

Round 2: something you would bring back from a vacation in Mexico (5). Angela with the premature jump-in misses photos, while Ebony's clothes are #4. Victoria scores #1 with a sombrero. The Rambos steal with tequila... and Jose Cuervo's #2. They have 96. Other answers: jewelry, Mexican food.

Double Round: an occupation whose members dread rainy days (5). Victoria blanks, but JR landscapes for #3. Jay gets mailman for #2. Angela gets #1, construction workers. Baseball player is also there, but the Alis try car washers. I would've said window washer.... and I would've been wrong. Other answer was sanitation worker. Rambos have 236.

Triple Round: something people let soak overnight (4). Natalie gets dishes, #3. Cathy gets #1, dirty laundry. Dentures and food put the Alis back into the game with 288.

Sudden Death: a food that's very sexy to eat. This question again? Traci remembers that #1 was strawberries to win, 438-236.

Traci & Falasha can only manage 113 after four zeroes for a two-day total of $20,565.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Steve O'Connor (communications consultant from Naperville, IL); $19,001

Lori Skelton (classical radio announcer from Madison, WI)

Bob Johnson (waiter from Wheaton, IL)

Steve beat the man, now he has to be the man in today's match. He starts with $200 "Rock" Songs. At the TV time out, it's a horserace between Steve at $2000 and Lori at $2200. Bob makes up the difference with $200.

After fishes and artwork, Steve finds the Daily Double under $800 The Bureau of Land Management. He fronts $1000 on the state with the most land under BLM jurisdiction. "What is Utah?" Close, it was Nevada, giving him $2800 and second place. He gets the $1000 back to end the round with $3800 to Lori's $2000. Bob, with -$400, will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Cheese. After we're done with cheese, we go to Home Pages, as $1200 is the first Daily Double. Lori gets this one as well as the opportunity to make a move with $1000 of her $1600. The clue: this novel begins, "Half-way down a by-street of one of our New England towns, stand a rusty wooden house..." "I'm blanking." It's "The House of Seven Gables", as she drops to $600. Lori drops as far as -$3000, but rebounds in time to claim the last clue, $2000 Into Africa. She has $1400... she'll only bet $400. She wants in the final, you can tell. What is the country of Nouakchott? Nothing from her, as Mauritania drops her to $1000, still enough to compete in the final, but against Bob's $6400 and Steve's $12,200, she's a longshot at best.

Final Jeopardy! in "Enterprising Women": she began her company in 1946 with a skin cream her chemist uncle developed & pioneered the concept of "gift with purchase". Correct response: Who was Estee Lauder?

"I have some of her youth-dew cream on my face right now." Too... much... info, Alex. Lori and Steve are right, as Steve holds back to win another $14,400, giving him a two-day take of $33,401.

The Price is Right by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker

The show filled with money and fun has been called the best game show of all time, according to TV Guide! Welcome to the Price is Right! The first four today are Janice Maxey, Chelsea Curwen, David Kemnitz, and Jessica Worthen. First item up for bids: Fun family camping equipment from Kelty! ARP: $1010. Chelsea wins her way on stage. She could win a 52-inch rear projection TV, a really nice one, too! She is playing Freeze Frame with this set up:

99 81

34 10

18 77

90 85

Chelsea immediately stops the freeze frame at $3499, and Barker calls her the fastest contestant on this game, giving her the nickname of “Speedy.” The right price WAS $3499 and she won the TV!

The next contestant is Rema Dawson! The next item to bid on is a pendulum swing from Health in Motion. ARP: $2,095! Jessica won, and she knew it! Things are only going to get better for her because she’s playing Safe Crackers…for a new car! It’s the new Chevy Cobalt. Also, she’s playing for a collection of telephones from V-tech. The whole package is worth $16,850! The numbers in the combination is the price of the telephones, of course. The numbers are 7, 4, and 0. She goes with $470, and then spins the wheel…and it stays locked. Those phones were worth $740. That’s too bad.

Happy Birthday to the whole audience! Meanwhile, Mabel Weadon is the next person to come on down. The four bidders are now bidding on a 42-inch diameter wall clock from Howard Miller…and look who’s here! Aw, it’s a cute little beagle puppy whose name is Mabel. She’s so cute! I want! If you want a cute little puppy like that, you can adopt one at the Department of Animal Services in the city of Los Angeles or at a shelter near your home. Anyway, here we go with the bids:

She’s jumping all around stage when she finds out that she’s also playing for a car! It’s a brand new Ford Focus ZX3 SE worth $16,090. We are playing Pass the Buck. Rema must pass the buck with these prizes:

*Ecotrin aspirin ($1.73) & Hunt’s tomatoes (0.99). She passed the buck on the aspirin, and she’s right! ($2.73)

*Little Debbie marshmallow treats (1.29) & Carapelli olive oil (4.49). She passed the buck to the olive oil, and that’s also right! ($5.49)

Rema has three choices right now, and she wants #4 first, and she finds LOSE EVERYTHING. Now she goes for #2, and she finds the other LOSE EVERYTHING. The bad news is that she has wasted two turns, but now she will win something! She goes with #6, and she wins…$5,000. The car was in #1.

Showcase Showdown time! Jessica spins first and lands on 65 cents. She decides to stay there, so now it is Chelsea’s turn to spin. However, Chelsea gets booed, so Bob helps her out, and she lands on 85 cents! Now it is Rema’s turn, and she gets 95 cents! In just three spins, the Showcase Showdown is over!

Anita La Motte is the next contestant on “The Price is Right” and she is from the Patty Wagon group. The next item up for bids is a portable DVD player from Panasonic. Bob Barker is shocked at Anita’s bid ($3546), and he thinks the patty wagon she’s from are a bunch of gambling drunks! Heh. ARP: $699. David gets on stage during his 23rd birthday, congratulations! We are playing Buy or Sell! The prizes are a telescope from Meade Instruments, a Flexsteel sofa, and a Honda CRF-80 motorcycle. David says he is all business here.

*Telescope ($1570) and he buys. It’s $1870, and he made $300!

*Sofa ($1960) and he sells that thing! It’s worth $1560, and he makes another $400.

*Motorcycle ($1214) and he buys that. The cycle is worth $2014, and he makes an additional $800 for a total of $1500 on the plus side, and a win!

The next contestant is Patricia Hausmann! Everyone is now bidding on an electronic keyboard from Yamaha. It’s an internet ready keyboard where you can download songs and everything! (note to everyone reading this: I want this for Christmas!) ARP: $1295…and Mabel barely wins with her one dollar bid!

The audience loves her as they chant her name, and they get more excited when we see that she could win a new car! It’s the Pontiac Vibe worth $17,885. She is playing Spelling Bee for the car. Her first two cards are #8 and #29. Now she can win three more cards with these prizes:

*sound machine – she says $35, and it’s $40

*hair twisters – she says $35 again, and that is $25

*office desk lamp – Mabel says $20, and she is right on the nose!

Her three choices are #11, 3, and 13, respectively. Bob thought she said 14 at first because of her lovely Southern accent! She doesn’t take the $2500 offer and goes for the car.

First, we have an A, and then we have another A. With three cards to go, we find another A! After finding three A’s in a row, she decides to take the $1000 and quit! Of course, Bob being Bob…he wants to see if she would have won the car. The last two cards were another A, and another! Bob looks over at Roger and asks if that has happened before. It’s confirmed that Mabel is the first contestant to get five of the same letter on this game, but at least she got an “a” and $1000! (C-Note: You mean it never happened twice?)

The last contestant to come on down is Derrick Boelter. The next item up for bids is coming on the PiR train! It’s a new wine refrigerator that can hold 100 bottles of wine. ARP: $889. Janice finally makes her way on stage and has a chance to win a treadmill from Horizon Fitness and a chair and ottoman from Carson’s of High Point. She is playing Switch? The treadmill is $1599, and the chair is $2385…and she decides to switch the prices. However, she should have left the prices alone.

The contestants not appearing on stage today receives a bicycle accessory package, and a dry portable vacuum.

Janice spins first on the Showcase Showdown, and she spins again after landing on 45 cents. Her next spin barely lands on 20, giving her 65 cents total. Mabel then spins on 40 cents, and then takes the lead adding 30 more cents giving her 70 cents. David gets a reverse start, and ties Mabel with 70 cents! He decides he wants a spin-off! On the spin off, Mabel got…A NICKEL by inches! Ouch. David needs a dime, and he easily wins with 60 cents.

David is the top winner, and Rema is the runner-up today.

The first showcase is at a hair salon. The stylist tells the customer to fix up her hair and strut around at Las Vegas for 4 nights! Next, the stylist wants to put streaks in her hair because the guys will drool all over it in FIJI! Finally, he advises his customer that if her hair looks bad, put on a cap and hide in the woods in her new trailer! Armando didn’t do a good job of hair styling, but this showcase can be yours if the price is right! David passes to Rema, and she bids $30,000.

David’s showcase begins with a dining room set from Magnussen Home. Also, a new cappuccino machine in smooth brass with brass trim is offered. Finally, the American 14.6 daysailer boat is the final prize offered. David bids $18,569 on his showcase.

Rema bid $30,000 on her showcase, and the ARP is $36,239 for a difference of $6239.

David’s bid is $18,569. ARP is $21,173 for a difference of $2604, and he is being besieged by his family! David won $28,816 in prizes today. This is Jason Hernandez saying goodbye for today…and good bye until next week because I am leaving for Mexico in a very short bit! Enjoy the recaps, and I’ll see you when I get back. Adios! Thanks for watching “Atinale al Precio!”

Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera

Craig (23; Rockville Centre, NY; song writer); writes alt-soul music, serenaded three girls who weren't into it

Adam (24; Manhattan, NY; guitar player); describes his music as different and lyrically driven

Landon (20; Dallas; singer/songwriter); totally into rock music and her Chihuahua Harley Davidson, is faithful to herself

We've got two alt-soul writers, so expect something nice and.. well, different. Which one is gonna get the date with a Texas chick? Landon's words: Landon, Texas, faithful, Chihuahua. "Have fun rhyming that one!" You know there's a trip to Cabo in the deal, so get hammering.

Adam wails on magazine covers in the writing room. Ryan wants to hear him sing. Meanwhile, Craig wants to go into a reggae vibe, even though Landon says she likes rock. "I've never known a girl not to like reggae." Me neither, kid. Ryan's notes on Adam: he thinks it'll be cool to strip it down.

Doing the switching now, as Craig is still thinking about Chihuahua... What if you scat it? Cheap, I know. Meanwhile, Adam is also hammered about the rock vibe. This will prove to be quite a challenge for both musicians. Ryan's notes on Craig: he's unconfortable. He's gotta pull it together.

Okay, time to head over to perform. Landon makes her appearance... Landon makes her disappearance. In honor of the occasion, Ryan flashes his Chihuahua boxers. And we come out with the intellectual snaps today. First up, Craig with "Mesmerized." He manages to fit Chihuahua in there. Otherwise, it's very different. Kind of life if Alicia Keys was a dude. "He carried it." Good job, Craig.

Feel bad for Adam? He's got his work cut out. This one's called "Hold You Forever". It starts out mellow (and with the Chihuahua), and then it kicks in. Not bad. "That was really romantic." This is going to be a hard one...

But the decision is made, and the trip goes to... Adam. Don't feel bad for him!

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

Yesterday, Rebecca Stricklin (Cypress, TX) got to $2,000, and seems to be on a roll. Can she keep it up?

It is once again mentioned that Rebecca is expecting her third kid, but she also mentions that the other two are at home, while she and her husband Ty are in New York for this. And the night before, they had some special hamburgers for dinner. $50 burgers to be exact. Yeah. Anyway, the game resumes, and Rebecca knows that National Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (because, well, Pi is approximately 3.14). Another question later, and this $16,000 question shows up...

Produced at 36 printing plants across the country, USA Today's editorial offices are based in what state?
A: New York
B: Maryland
C: Virginia
D: Ohio

Rebecca asks the audience. Uh-oh, we saw this type of thing doom a couple of contestants not long ago. With the studio audience, 40% says C, while 28% says A. But with the AIM poll, 55% says A, while 22% says C. Considering the disagreement between the audiences, Rebecca hopes that the 50:50 will help. However, once it is used, A and C remain. Yeah, I know the 50:50 is random, but this type of thing just keeps happening so many times... Anyway, she then calls Ty's best friend Brian (nicknamed "Bird"), who thinks it's C. But he's 50% sure. Yeah. Well, Rebecca decides to go ahead and trust him and the studio audience, and goes with C... and she's right! But without any lifelines, she can't answer the next question, which asks for the approximate percentage of Americans that move each year according to the U.S. Postal Service (17%). So, she walks with $16,000.

Next up is Heather Steele (New Palestine, IN), and she has 4 kids, who have ideas of what they want if she wins the million. One wants a GameCube, one wants lots of toys, and one wants a trip for the family to Australia. No word on the 4th kid. Anyway, Heather starts by knowing that in a classic recruiting slogan, the Marine Corps claimed to be looking for "a few good men". She then continues on through plenty more questions, before reaching this one worth $8,000...

In 2005, supermodel Heidi Klum quietly tied the knot with what singer on the beaches of Mexico?
A: Eddie Vedder
B: Lenny Kravitz
C: Beck
D: Seal

Heather decides to ask the audience, and this time, both polls agree. 90% of the studio audience and 56% of the AIM users go with D. She locks in that answer... and it's D! She then sees this $16,000 question...

Which of these wartime presidents was a member of the peace-advocating Quaker religion?
A: Woodrow Wilson
B: Franklin D. Roosevelt
C: Harry S. Truman
D: Richard Nixon

Heather chooses to call her sister-in-law, Catherine, and she says it's D, though she doesn't have time to say how sure she is. Heather trusts her and goes with D... and she is up to $16,000! On to $25,000...

What city's main airport is named for Antonio Carlos Jobim, a famous bossa nova musician?
A: Rio de Janeiro
B: Buenos Aires
C: Mexico City
D: Lima

The 50:50 leaves A and D. But that's not enough help for Heather, as she has no idea, so she walks. The answer is A, but though it's not a million, $16,000 is not bad at all!

There's not enough time for another player today, so whoever is next will begin tomorrow.
