Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Bobo (Casey, Kimette, Cher'ron, Inous, Margie)
Dinapoli (Danielle, Mandi, Karen, Samantha, Michael) from Allentown, PA; $20,000

After the train, the Dinapolis can take a jet plane back to Allentown if they watned to. Round 1: a topic that, if a woman were an expert on it, would really impress a man (7). Danielle gets number one with sports. Is she can expert? "Not really." Cars, finances, and sex also make the list. But it's up to the Bobos now. They go with electronics. Sure turns me on... Hey-ooo! Not there, the Dinapolis on the board with 78. Other answer: mechanic/engineer, politics, massage therapy.

Round 2: a famous man named Barry (6). Mandi gets the top of the board with Barry White. Other famous Barrys: Manilow and Bonds. Unfortunately for Mandi, Barry Watson of "7th Heaven" isn't that famous... yet. The Bobos go with Berry Gordy. It's number 6 for 79! Other answers: Barry Goldwater, Barry Gibb.

Double Round: a food that's better when it's homemade (full board). Cher'ron loves homemade lasagna. It's number one. Also making the survey: cake and bread. The Dinapolis go with pie for the steal. "Pie is up there!" Sure is for 174. Other answers: soup/stew, potato salad.

Triple Round: a place people belt out a tune when they think they're alone (4). Inous fires with the shower, number one. Casey scores with the car. The Dinapolis go with mirror... but we need a place. They go with the bedroom mirror... and the champs are still champs, 447-79. Other answer: elevator.

Michael & Mandi had such a great go around for the first time in Fast Money, that they go for it again. Unfortunately, they only get $640 today for a two-day total of $20,640.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Jeff Pandin (history teacher from Alexandria, VA); $18,000
Joey Bland (actor/improviser from Chicago)
Jennifer Furlong (account manager from Brighton, MA)

Three J's enter... one J leaves. Or maybe two if there's a tie. Jeff starts with $200 The Spanish-American War, but Joey finds the Daily Double under the $800 level. With only a grand to his name, Joey is all-in on this: the peace treaty gave this island to the US; the rest of the Marianas were later purchased by Germany. "What is Guam?" Got it for $2000! He parlays that into a commanding lead, $7400 to Jeff's $3800. Meanwhile, Jennifer, who comes back from red to score $200, starts up Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 TV Cartoon Pooches. Last two categories in play hold the Daily Doubles this round. The first one is under $1600 Where There's a Will. Joey, with $17,800, bets $3000 on the author who divided hunters and fire-keepers. "Who is Golding?" Of "Lord of the Flies," yes, for $20,800. Afterwards, Joey jumps to $1600 Architects, the other Daily Double. He fronts $2000 this time on the creator of the Barcelona Chair. "Who is Corbusier?" Nope, it was Mies van der Rohe, leaving Joey with $18,800, still in the lead with $20,000 at the end of the round. Meanwhile, Jeff can take it with $11,400. Jennifer is the longshot at $1000.

Final Jeopardy! in "18th Century Correspondence": in 1779 she wrote, "Whilst you are.. emancipating all nations, you insist upon retaining an absolute power over wives." Correct query: Who was Abigail Adams?

Looks like the history teacher has a slight advantage. Will it be enough to over Joey's lead? Nope. Joey wins it with $27,000. Jeff leaves with $20,000 even, though. And hard-earned, too; he made a game breaker of a move in betting everything.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
The time has come! Join the fun! Here comes #1! And here comes a drum set. It goes to Nicole Moore, the first one called from the audience. Can she parlay that into a hot tub? It's literally a Pushover. The setup:

6 8 2 9 0 5 1 6 0.

The magic window reads $8290 when all is said and done. More people think she's wrong than right. The actual price... $8290. Shows was the average Price audience thinks.

Round 2 has a telescope, as Barbara Wald and up before you can say "telescope". And it's a good thing, too, because she's got a chance to win a Ford Freestar! And so far, it's worth 25 cents. The game is Pocket ¢hange. First number is 2. We get to $28,357 for the van, which now costs $1.75. We've got the 25 cents to start. Then we get a dime... another dime... diddly-jack... and... a quarter. 75 cents. No van.

Let's have better luck with a clock. Dorothy Dawson gets that grandfather clock and a chance to win $16,000! In the It's In the Bag bags (possibly): Udderly Smooth lotion, Airborne, Little Debbie Marshmallow Treats, Pine-Sol, Tylenol Arthritis Pain, and Goldfish. Are the Goldfish 89¢? Yep, $1000. And that's as far as we go. Is the Airborne $12.49? No. That's $1000 right there. And that's $1000 for Barbara on the Bob-aided spin in the Showdown round. But that's it.

The train brings out a sofa for round 4, as Debra Kidwell rides it to a pair of offroad motos. They can be hers if she knows whether she's Coming ($8476) or Going ($6748). She's Going... to take home those two bikes!

It's just been Ladies Night at the Price is Right, but Casey Konrad strikes one for the brothers in the audience with an exerciser. And at just the right time, as Casey's going for a Ford Escape in the Dice Game. First number is 2. Casey shoots 1, exactly. He shoots 4, lower. He shoots 1 again, exactly!. He shoots 4 again, lower. The price... $21,615. Darn. Both wrong.

Krislyn Wright finally escapes with a ceiling fan in round six. Meanwhile, Krislyn gets to play for a trip to New York City and a Broadway.com gift certificate. All she has to do is connect the Secret X. She wins X'es from a coin sorter and a pair of binoculars. The positions: upper left, lower right, and upper right. So if the secret X is in the lower row, she loses.. Doesn't happen, though. She's a winner. And she gets $6000 to spend in the NYC thanks to HER Showdown round. She's the top winner to Barbara's runner-up.

First Showcase features Coach Yeller berating her team over a Ripley's Believe It or Not pinball, a 52" HDTV, and a cruise of the Orient. Krislyn passes to Barbara, who bids $18,600, a difference of $3432. Meanwhile, Krislyn gets a new bedroom with dressings and mattress, backpacking equipment, and an amphibious all-terrain vehicle. Krislyn bids $23,750. Actual price: $21,495. Barbara wins today with $24,682 in cash, prizes, and cruise. Just don't blow it all at blackjack on that cruise!

 
Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera
Michelle (21; Stewartstown, PA; swim teacher/lifeguard); loves her some Fiona Apple, recently moved to LA to pursue music
Kat (21; College Park, MA; nanny); likes "crowd surfing", biggest influence is family, loves Crowded House
Mike (24; Los Angeles; pro golfer); recently graduated from Princeton, speaks three foreign languages, big into surfing and "The Princess Bride"

Ah, a Princess Bride geek is in the offing today. Nice. Mike's words: Michael, golf, beach, king. The prize: a date with Mike in Cabo. But you have to write the song first!

So let's get to that. Michelle is going for "new age disco" in the writing room. Ryan wants Michelle to relax and have some fun instead of being a little nervous. Meanwhile over with the band, Kat... "Hey, I'm Kat. You're Mike." Okay, if that's all she has, she's in trouble.

A switch in order. Kat likes something light and fun. "Let's drive! To the fairway!" Hey, that works. Meanwhile, Michelle's song morphs from the new age disco to just generic pop. Ryan's notes on Kat: she has a hard time picking a melody and running with it.

Who wants to win a date with a golfer? Mike wants to hear something that catches him. So let's catch him in seclusion, while Michelle takes the stage first with "Take Me Home". Reminds me of Joss Stone, which would be a good thing if she can find a way to hold a pitch without going nuts on it. "Very creative use of the words!"

"You'll Be My King" is Kat's offering. It's more of a rock vibe, and I'm glad she finally chose something that actually flowed.  "Extra points for getting my favorite golf course in there." Kat mentioned Pebble Beach.

I would go out with either one of them, really... but there can only be one winner. Mike picked... Michelle.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, John Schmidt (Glenview, IL) made it to $16,000. How will he do today?

John did a lot in his life; got married, has a family, won a case before the Supreme Court, and he even beat cancer! And the icing on the cake for him? Being on this show! Now I'm really rooting for him to win the million. Anyway, the game resumes with this $25,000 question...

Making a comeback in the U.S., the blood-sucking "Cimex lectularius" is an insect better known by what name?
A: Tick
B: Dust mite
C: Chigger
D: Bedbug

John decides to call Michael, a friend of a co-worker. Michael is 65% sure that it's D, because he is aware that the bedbug is making some sort of a comeback. But John uses the 50:50 to make sure, and D remains, along with B. With that, John trusts Michael and goes with D... and he has $25,000! After a successful gamble on the $50,000 question, John is faced with a question at the $100,000 level asking what is the only U.S. state requiring its employers by law to offer health insurance to full-time workers. But he doesn't know the answer (which is Hawaii), so he switches it out, and after a commercial break, this is subbed in for $100,000...

A series of five letters between Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal is credited with establishing what branch of modern mathematics?
A: Trigonometry
B: Algebra
C: Number theory
D: Probability

John thinks for a bit, saying he's leaning towards D, but he's unsure. Eventually, he decides that he won't go for it, and he'll walk. The answer was in fact D, but John does return home with $50,000!

Up next is Elizabeth Goldman (Oaklyn, NJ). She's a disc jockey, who goes by the name of "D.J. El Boogie". She used to be an attorney, though. Seems weird to go from law to radio that way, but that's how it turned out for her. Anyway, Elizabeth starts by knowing that the biblical place name commonly used as a synonym for "paradise" is Eden. A few questions later, and this shows up for $1,000...

In celebration of the summer solstice, what U.S. city has hosted the annual Midnight Sun Marathon since 1973?
A: Seattle
B: Anchorage
C: Honolulu
D: Miami

Elizabeth asks the audience, and 83% of the studio audience says B, with 31% of the AIM users in agreement. After complimenting the audience's intelligence, she trusts them... and they're right! Eventually, she faces this for $8,000...

The memorable line "Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no" is repeated throughout what chart-topping dance hit of 2003?
A: Yeah!
B: Hey Ya!
C: Crazy in Love
D: In da Club

Since she is a disc jockey, one would think that Elizabeth would know this. She seems sure after thinking about it, and she goes with B... but she's wrong! It's C! It's a shame that she went out on this type of question, but at least she's leaving with $1,000.

Moving on, Christa McHugh (East Lyme, CT) enters the hot seat. She's a bartender, and of course, she likes the occasional drink. Getting right to the game, she starts by knowing that according to legend, George Washington refused to tell a lie about chopping down a tree (I don't think someone like him would steal HBO, even if it were to exist back in his time). Christa then moves through, answering questions like one which asks what ability a Superball, a toy ball invented by a chemical engineer in the 1960s (not the kind from a certain retired TPiR pricing game), is known for (bouncing high), before reaching $2,000.

And the horn goes off, meaning Christa will have to wait until tomorrow to continue on.
