Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Guyovich (Toni, Maggie, Tom, Alex, Bernadette); $1095
Dinapoli (Danielle, Mandi, Karen, Samantha, Michael) from Allentown, PA

For the record, the Dinapolis took the train. Round 1: a kind of place that people get throw out of (6). Danielle gets number one with a bar. They also get school and the movies, but the champs get a house for 76. Other answers: restaurant, sporting event.

Round 2: a reason people end an extramarital love affair (6). Mandy gets #6, the spouse. Guilt, stress, and loss of interest are up there, but the number one, because they got caught. The champs have a chance to steal with you find someone new. Nope. The Dinapolis have 79. Other answer: came to senses.

Double Round: an animal that starts with "G" (5). Tom gets #2, goat. Karen gets #3, gorilla. Alex gets #1, giraffe. They also get their goose. The Dinapolis try guinea pig for the steal... How cute. But wrong. The Guyoviches have 260. Other answer: groundhog.

Triple Round: something that shrinks (4). Robert gets the top answer, underwear (clothes). People and food also make the list. The challengers have one more shot at it. "Your bank account!" Could be... YES! Dinapolis win, 331-260.

Michael & Mandi go for the big bank account in Fast Money. And seven questions later, boom. $20K in the bank.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Diane Mettam (pastor from Independence, CA); $19,400
Jeff Pandin (history teacher from Alexandria, VA)
Susan Klak (teacher from Plainfield, IL)

The College Championship is still a week or three away, but the teachers are getting their licks against a woman of the cloth (with the collar on today... she means business!). Diane starts with $200 The Small Stuff. So far, it's all small stuff for Diane, who's on the red side of $1600. Susan's on the blue side at the TV time out, while Jeff is in front with $2800.

Susan finds the Daily Double under $1000 Ends in 2 Vowels. Trailing only by two Benjamins, Susan bets $1500 on where St. Anthony is buried. "What is ... Genoa?" Nope, it was Padua, as Susan now has $1700. She ends the round in second with $2900 to Jeff's $5000 even. Diane with $600 is going to need some divine intervention as she starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Scenes from a Marriage, finding the Daily Double under $800 The Seventh Seal. Salvation, though she's now in third after Alex announces a change in scoring. Still, this $3000 clue will put her into second: the seventh month of the calendar in first-Century Rome. "What is July?" Nope, September, as she drops to $2000. The second Daily Double goes unclaimed, as it's Jeff's game to lose with $15,000. Diane is trailing with $3600 to Susan's $5700.

Final Jeopardy! in "Women in Politics": elected in 1916, she was the subject of a 1995 biography called "Bright Star in the Big Sky". Correct query: Who was Jenette Rankin?

The history teacher makes some history of his own, winning $18,000 today. Diane leaves with $20,400.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Well, if we stuck around to see a few friends we made in line that fateful August night, this is what we would've seen. It's the late taping of GSC Day at TPIR. And this is what went down.

We start off with a pool table, as it goes to Barbara Reynolds, as she goes for one... two... THREE new cars! She tries to convert the Triple Play for a PT Cruiser, a Jeep, and a new convertible. She gets the PT Cruiser... She gets... hosed on the Jeep. Aww...

Round 2 goes to McKaye Ruehl, as does a rocker and a chance at $10,000. Time for the Grand Game. Target: $4. Products: Aspercreme, Baker's Joy spray, David sunflower seeds, Finazzle soap scum remover, Fiji water, and Airborne. McKaye goes with the seeds at $1.09. $10! Water is next at $1.59. $100! Baking spray, $2.69. $1000! McKaye is going for it with the Finazzle.... $5.99. D'oh! Should've gone with the Aspercreme.

Matthew Tortora gets an ocean kayak in round 3 and a chance to go to Belgium if he can FLIP to $7594, FLOP to $5749, or FLIP FLOP to $7549. He'll flop... and he should've Flip Flopped. The disappointment continues as McKaye only manages $1000 in the Showcase Showdown.

Now, remember thst story with the few friends we made in line? One of them is on stage in round 4! Jacob Greenman, who played some logic puzzles with us, wins a bike in round 4. Now he goes for the bonus prize of a hot tub in the Bonus Game. After winning a frame set and a joke teller, he's got a 50/50 chance at the tub... And he doesn't get it.

Marvin de Meester gets a silver tea service in round 5. But can he win a wall clock? Or maybe a new Ford Focus? The game is Any Number, and the numbers he picks get him.... the Ford Focus! Marvin has snapped the skid!

A washer/dryer is aboard the TPIR tug for the last IUFB, and it goes to Melissa Miles. The washer/dryer, not the tug. Now she plays 1 Right Price for a cross-trainer and a daybed with mattress. The 1 Right Price: $2599. And after running to both prizes, she goes with the cross-trainer... and she's right! But it was for naught as Jacob takes the second spot in the Showcase.

First Showcase has something for every room in the house! For the living room, a plasma HDTV. For the family room, a classic guitar. For the office, a Dell PC. For the game room, a bar set. Top winner McKaye passes to Jacob, who bids $11,275. McKaye, meanwhile, gets how the rich keep looking rich, with $1000, a trip to Monte Carlo, and a Lincoln Town Car. She bids $21,500, a difference of over $31,000. Actual price of Jacob's Showcase: $21,156! Jacob's your big winner with $22,016.

PS: if Jacob or Janessa from yesterday is watching, drop us a line! We'd love to hear from you.

 
Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera
Chris (25; San Diego; singer/songwriter); musical influences include the Beatles & the Rolling Stones
Brett (21; Wausau, WI; guitarist); likes Goo Goo Dolls... hates reality TV
Sepideh Haftgoli (24; Hollywood, CA; model); recently graduated law school... wait a second... I've heard this song and dance before...

If you've seen Sepideh before, then you must've survived the whole of GSN's Celebrity Lingo week, as Sepideh was partnered with Spenny Rice on the Friday show. Check out how she did here. Her non-five letter words for a trip to Puerto Vallarta and maybe a little sumthin-sumthin: Sepideh, law, Hollywood, bugs (she doesn't like to see one killed).

Eight hours later, Chris and Ryan duel guitars, while Brett rocks out on his own. Chris starts with the closest thing you'll get to hardcore punk on this show with "I Will Find A Way". I won't lie. It sucked. "It was great." This is the person who lost to Kenny...

Switching to "Journey To My Love" from Brett. This one's closer to the kind of rock you use to get college chicks. "This is going to be really really hard!"

Okay, decision time. Sepideh chose... Spenny! Just kidding. She chose Brett!

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
In the last episode, Jason Drucker (New York, NY) reached $1,000, but had to ask the audience on an early question. That's usually not a good omen, but can he do better today?

Though he's hoping to use what he wins to move out of his grandparents' place, Jason did bring his mother with him. And she claims to be more nervous than him, even though he's the one in the hot seat. We'll see about that, as the game resumes with this $2,000 question...

A popular challenge for long-distance swimmers, the English Channel is a branch of what body of water?
A: Arctic Ocean
B: Baltic Sea
C: Atlantic Ocean
D: Mediterranean Sea

Jason decides to use the 50:50, and with that, C and D remain. He goes with C... and he's right! Another question later, and this one pops up for $8,000...

The 2005 movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" reveals that Willy Wonka's father had what job?
A: Dentist
B: Dietitian
C: Gym teacher
D: Vegetable farmer

Jason didn't get to see this version of the movie, so he calls his friend, Dan. Now, for some reason, Dan requested the spelling of "Willy". (And Jason says he's his smartest friend. Yeah.) Jason obliged, of course. Then, just before time runs out, Dan says, "I don't got it." Ouch. Well, it's not stopping him from going for it; he's gonna gamble. And after a bit of reasoning, Jason locks in A as his final answer... and the gamble pays off! It's A! Then, for the $16,000 question, which asks what mogul gets 4,000,000 e-mails a year, most of it spam, according to his company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, Jason gambles yet again. He goes with Steve Jobs... but it's Bill Gates! It doesn't work out this time, but he does head home with $1,000.

John Schmidt (Glenview, IL) is the next player, and he's been waiting for this chance for a long time. His co-workers threw a "pre-Millionaire" party for him, but during this party, he was asked questions from the "Millionaire" board game. On a million-dollar question that he was stumped on, a 12-year-old son of one of the co-workers knew it immediately. But that 12-year-old ain't in the hot seat here, is he? Anyway, John begins by knowing that "32 Terrific Teeth" is the name of a permanent exhibit featured in Baltimore's National Museum of Dentistry (I'd imagine that a museum of stolen body parts wouldn't last too long). He moves along quite well, and he is on a roll as he gets to this question for $4,000...

On May 24, 1844, "What hath God wrought" became the first words transmitted using what form of communication?
A: Radio
B: Phonograph
C: Telephone
D: Telegraph

At this point, John uses a process of elimination, deducing that 3 of those would not have existed yet in 1844. With that, he goes with D... and he's right! Moving on to $8,000...

The 2005 TV series "Being Bobby Brown" revealed that Bobby Brown uses what unusual product to reduce eye puffiness?
A: Preparation H
B: Tinactin
C: Ex-Lax
D: Bengay

[My first thought upon seeing this question: EWWWWWW! And no, I didn't see that show.]

This time, John asks the audience. An astounding 89% of the studio audience picks A, and so does 38% of the AIM users. So, John goes with A... and is right! (I don't know about you, but I wouldn't let that stuff get anywhere near my face, let alone my eyes.) He then also gets the next one, which asks what president the U.S. Interstate System is named after thanks to a bill signed by George H.W. Bush in 1990 (Dwight Eisenhower), to reach $16,000.

That's all for now. John will attempt to climb higher up the proverbial ladder next time, in the hopes of eventually becoming a millionaire.
