Will the champs be the "Ferris" this time? Round 1: something that starts with the letter "C" that men don't like to do (5). Laura fires with clean, #1. The family can only come up with cook for #2. Can the challengers steal with "cut hair?" Nope. Ferrises get 76. Other answers: cuddle, chores, cry.

Round 2: an occupation whose workers might be offered a bribe (6). Jill fires with police officer, #1. You can also bribe a politician and a lawyer, but the Guyoviches are hoping to slip a few to the maitre d'. Not there, the Ferrises have 150. Other answers: city inspector, athlete, contractor.

Double Round: the worst aspect of flying (5). Tom gets the board with turbulence at #3. But that's all she wrote for that one. Can the champs take it with takeoff? It's #4 for... 174! I still can't believe that no one thought of #1, crashing. I can't believe it. Other answers: landing, ears plug up/pop.

Triple Round: something people use to swat a fly (4). Alex gets #1, a fly swatter. Bernadette gets #2, a newspaper. Toni gets #4, their hand. Alex rounds it out with shoe, giving them 297. And so, by three points, we're going to...

Sudden Death: something people do before a movie starts. Mike tries tickets... Not there. Bernadette tries food... Up there! The Guyoviches win it, 540-174.

Tom & Toni take the Fast Money Board for... $610.

A secretary from Seattle and an attorney from Texas are about to dance with a Longhorn. Amanda starts with $200 The Old Testament. After wanting "blood", Amanda returns to the category she started and goes after the Daily Double under $600. With $2000 less than leading John, Amanda makes it true. The clue: one lie he told was "If they bind me with 7 green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak." "Who is Samson?" And Amanda doubles up to $2800.

After a brief flirtation with the color red, Claire is back in blue with $2800. Bad news, $5600 for Amanda and $4600 for John. But Claire's fortunes can change with Double Jeopardy! which she starts...

... with $400 The "I"s Have It. John finds the Daily Double under $2000 He Shoots, He Scores!, which, at $11,800, can also describe John's playing ability at the moment. He bets $2200 on 2 pianos and one gorgeous blonde. "Who are 'The Fabulous Baker Boys'?" Right on for $14,000. Two clues later, Claire finds the other Daily Double under $2000 "I"s. She bets level on the secret society of "Angela & Demons". "What is the Illuminati?" Right on for $8400. Tied going into the last clue, Amanda breaks out with $9600 to Claire's $7600. But they both have a hard charge against John's $16,000.

But it gets a little easier for Claire as she is augmented to $10,800 thanks to a line-judge research over the break. This puts her at second and Amanda at third.

Hey, Las Vegas! Hey Phoenix! Jeopardy!'s coming to your town! Sign up to audition at the website. Final Jeopardy! in "Classic Television": it was the first TV series to win the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. Correct response: What was "The Twilight Zone"?

The champ blanks out. Claire is wrong as well. John? "Twilight Zone". He's your winner with with $21,601. Amanda leaves with $6300.

Meanwhile, we start off the week with Scott Miller, the first one up on stage thanks to his knowledge of the price of a treadmill, rowing machine, and "Stretch Partner"... that would be $2400, by the way. The question all America and Canada want to know now is, with a catamaran on the line... does Scott know how to play the Check Game?

"I remember the game. Gimme a little rundown."

At least he remembers it. That's a... pretty piss poor start, though. A spectacular finish, though, as he sails on his catamaran to any bank that'll cash a $2200 check THAT big. Naw, bro. You gotta finish that check out before you cash it. That's "two thousand, two hundred." By the way, happy birthday.

He'll take on Ashley Watson in the Showcase. The last of the first four arrives in round 5 thanks to a fireplace. From somewhere hot to somewhere cold, as she has a chance to win a trip to Vancouver, BC in the Grocery Game. The groceries: Johnson's Baby Shampoo, O-Cedar squeegee, Oxford index cards, Uncle Ben's rice, and Airborne gummi lozenges. She takes three of the lozenges and three of the shampoos. Total of... $20.04!

First Showcase has the Nosy Photo, where your photos come back in an hour with Brandi's fingerprints all over'em. In the photos: a sofa, a pool table, and a Ford Mustang! Scott keeps this one and bids $24,000. Meanwhile, Ashley gets a dining room group with dinnerware, 12 Bruce Springsteen CDs, and a CD jukebox. Ashley bids $15,000, a different of only $3231. Actual price of Scott's Showcase? $32,000 and change. Ashley wins it with $24,668 in prizes.

Stats: 4/6, $57,654, and one more instance of Bob getting the only person in the crowd that doesn't know how to play the Check Game.

Is it me or is the scar on Shelly's right shoulder just a little bit off? I mean, is this Score or Distraction? Just picking nits here... Anyway, a date with a cheerleader (because once, always) and a trip to Mazatlan is on the line. The words: Shelly (because that's her name), nerd (because she is one), funny (because she likes it), tanning (because she has a problem called tanorexia).

And we have eight hours. Don't get burned. John is first with Ryan in the writing room. He's thinking about setting the stage in 24 hours.. in 2 minutes... with a sax. Meanwhile, Curtis... wants to write a chick love song... with the chords from "Wonderwall." Blasphemy! Ryan's notes on John: "Almost too many ideas."

Switchings, switchings, switchings! Curtis changed it up a bit. And it's nice to know that he's not holding back any more. Meanwhile, John wants to play guitar, sing, play sax, scat, and somehow fit "tanning" into a song. Can he do it? Probably if he cleans his spit valve. Ryan's notes on Curtis: a good lyric writer.

Looks like Curtis may have a walk here. Let's go to the Avalon. Three geeks enter... two geeks leave for Mexico. One geek goes home defeated and humiliated. First up, John brings the "junk" with "If She Only Knew". Very creative use of the "junk". I would've liked to see the sax bust out, but the scat's cool. "I heard nothing but good things."

Curtis has his work cut out with "Waiting for You". It's... pop rock. It's The Calling, it's Evan & Jaron, it's the host of this show. It's definitely Curtis' strong point. But will it be enough? "I loved it! It was so sweet!"

So is it the dude with the song by 98* or the dude with the song by Seal? Shelly picked... Curtis. Sweetness wins every time.
