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; $20,640, two days

Don't look now, but it's the return of the Pizza Hut Feud. If you're not hungry now, you will be by the time I'm done with you. :) Also don't look now, but the Bobos have taken advantage of a technical fault, resulting in a rematch! Round 1: on which day of the year are most pizzas delivered (6)? Casey gets #1, Super Bowl Sunday. All the family can come up with is New Year's Eve. The Dinapolis can steal with birthday. Not there, and the Bobos get 61. Other answers: Good Friday, Christmas, Halloween (said!), Memorial Day.

Round 2: if he wasn't an actor, what job would you think Sylvester Stallone would be good for (6)? Mandi gets the top of the board with boxer. Rest of the family chimes in with police officer, athletic trainer, bouncer, and politician. Can the Bobos steal with mechanic? Nope, the Dinapolis are at 76. Other answer: model.

Okay, pizza break! Pizza break over! Double Round: something most people only have one of (5). Karen gets #2, house. Cher'ron gets car in on the buzzer. It's number one. Also making the survey: spouse. The Dinapolis go with child for the steal. Not there, giving the Bobos 173. Other answers: refrigerator, pet.

Triple Round: something robbers of the Old West robbed (4). Inous' bank beats Samantha's trains, 1 to 3. Margie gets stagecoaches, #2. Danielle sweeps it with saloons, giving them the game, 452-76.

Casey & Kimette take on the Fast Money board, but the board bites back, giving Kimette 100 even despite two goose-eggs. Casey only manages 76 more for $880 and a Pizza Hut gift card. Annoying delivery boy actor not included.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Joey Bland (actor/improviser from Chicago); $27,000
Alaric Smith (songwriter/vocalist/graduate from Sacramento)
Laura Henne (environmental specialist from Doylestown, PA)

The Second City goes for a second win today. Joey starts with $200 We've Got Your Back. After a visit from Wolf Blitzer, Alaric takes the lead, $4200 against Joey's $2600 and Laura's $600 at the time out.

Last category in play is Magazines & Newspapers. Last clue played is for $400. It goes to Laura. She pushes out all of her $1400. The clue: Guideposts Magazine was founded in 1945 by this "positive" minister & his wife Ruth. "Hm. I don't know." It was Norman Vincent Peale, as she starts out Double Jeopardy! the way she started out the Jeopardy! round... with nothing. Joey is still in second with $4200, while Alaric is still ahead with $6000.

Moving to Double Jeopardy!, and Laura starts with $400 6-Letter Words. Joey finds the first Daily Double under $1200 20th Century Literature. Having just taken the lead, he goes $3000 on who says "All we got is the family unbroke." "Who is Ma Joad?" From "The Grapes of Wrath," as Joey has $10,000. Laura finds the second Daily Double under $2000 Pair Capita. With $3200, she bets all but $200 on the campaigners with the song "Hurrah! Hurrah! For Cleve & Steve". "Ugh. Who are Grover Cleveland and... Stevenson?" Adlai, but that's right for $6200! She ends up with that amount, as Alaric has $6400. Meanwhile, it's Joey's game to lose with $17,200.

Final Jeopardy! in "Capital Cities": home to the oldest cathedral & the oldest university in the Americas, this capital was founded in 1496. Correct query: What is Santo Domingo?

Alaric almost doubles up, but Joey is also right, giving him a two-day take of $48,200.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
It's Friday at 33. Let's see what went down.

Nicole Kaib takes a range to Barker's Bargain Bar, where she can win an exercycle and a lounge chair. The exercycle is marked at $1099. The lounge chair is marked at $949. Which is the bigger bargain? Nicole goes with the lounge chair, discounted $1500. The bike was discounted... $900! First winner!

Tiffany Hamilton can watch herself on TPIR with her new LCD TV. And even better - at least ideally - she gets to play Plinko! With chips from Bob, an MP3 player, a 20Q game, a laser measure, and a rice cooker, she drops one... two... three.. four gooseeggs. The last chip yields $500. Well, it's better than zero.

Jordana Burke takes a desk and chair in her one bid at a good time, because we've yet to give away a car this half. We will get that chance in a Ford F150, as well as an alarm clock and a karaoke. The game is 10 Chances. She only takes one chance for the clock, a staggering seven for the karaoke (she doesn't quite know the zero rule), and one for the truck! With one chance left over, she's a winner! And she's also a winner at the Wheel, as she turns 90 cents into a trip to the Showcase.

The Army sent Capt. Aaron Close to Contestants Row three rounds ago, and he's just getting onto the stage thanks to luggage. He plays Side By Side for a watercraft. Is it $9883 or $8398? He goes for the latter... and that's a win!

Justin Smith is down and up with $500 from a $650 set of tennis equipment. Now he's going for a console piano playing Pick-a-Pair. The products: Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauce, Flexitol hand balm, Miracle Gro plant food, Marie Callender's fettuccine alfredo, CLR, and Jif peanut butter, extra crunchy. Justin goes for the fettuccine entree and the PB. Both are $2.99. That's a win!

Lastly, Sheryl Avey, who came to TPIR to celebrate her son's birthday (this is relevant), wins a curio cabinet, but loses at Cover Up, missing out on a Pontiac Sunfire. Would she have better luck with said song spinning the Wheel for her? Nope. Bryan goes over. Aaron wins by default.

Jordana is your Top Winner today, and she gets the option on the TPIR mine, where the lovely Rebecca digs up a DVD player with "Austin Powers in Goldmember", a gas grill, and a travel trailer. She passes to Aaron, who bids $28,550. Jordana gets a new living room with carpeting & maid service for a year and a trip to New Zealand. She bids $14,833. Actual price: $25,282, a difference of $10,449. Aaron's actual price: $15,156. Jordana wins on an overbid, taking away $50,204 in prizes.

Stats: 4/6, $73,073, and four gooseeggs in Plinko.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Christa McHugh (East Lyme, CT) managed to get to $2,000 without a problem. Will she run into any problems today?

At some point, Christa once had a nightmare that she was on the show, in the hot seat, but topless. She says she couldn't concentrate at all in the nightmare. But then, she says, "The worst part is no one noticed." Right... Well, she's fully clothed today, and she resumes the game by knowing that it's the rhinoceros that lends its name to a large variety of beetle known for its prominent horns. After that comes this one for $8,000...

In 2005, members of Northwestern's women's lacrosse team caused a stir by attending a White House ceremony wearing what?
A: Mini-skirts
B: Tube tops
C: Flip-flops
D: Nose rings

Christa asks the audience, and 64% of the studio audience says C, while the AIM poll sees 48% also saying C. Christa goes with their answer... and they're right! Next up is this $16,000 question...

A recipe popular during WWII, "mock apple pie" substitutes what ingredient for apples?
A: Wonder Bread
B: Nilla wafers
C: Cheerios
D: Ritz crackers

Christa decides to call her friend Bill, but he's not sure at all, though he offers D as a guess. So Christa then uses the 50:50, which leaves C and D. She then decides to go with Bill's guess and locks in D as her final answer... and it's D! Then, on the next question, Christa is asked what TV newsman lamented after reading the 2004 memoirs of his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, that her sex life was more interesting than his. But she doesn't know the answer (it was Anderson Cooper), so Christa walks with $16,000.

Entering the hot seat now is Ken Schamberg (Philadelphia, PA). Yet, he still can't believe that he is there in the first place. When he received a call to possibly be on the show, he thought it was a joke. Then, after Meredith jokes with him, making him think for a moment that the whole thing was a prank, they start. The first question basically asks to finish the title of the fairy tale "Beauty and the _______", and Ken knows that the answer is "Beast". He then makes it through some more questions, like one which asks what scientist lends his name to the standard unit of measurement for electrical power (James Watt), before getting to this $4,000 question...

In 2004, Apple Computer introduced a special edition iPod autographed by what rock band?
A: Aerosmith
B: U2
C: Radiohead
D: Pearl Jam

Ken goes to the audience for help, and they come through, with 85% of the studio audience and 77% of the AIM users going with B. Ken trusts them and goes with B... and is right! Another couple of questions later, and he goes for $25,000 with this...

Methane in Neptune's atmosphere makes the planet appear what color when viewed through a telescope?
A: Orange
B: Blue
C: Red
D: Gold

Ken doesn't hesitate with this one. He goes with B... and he has $25,000! He is on a roll!

But then, the horn goes off, ending the show for today. Ken is in really good shape going into Monday's episode; we'll see if he can keep up the momentum and possibly reach the million dollars then.
