On CMT, it's Day #3 of Special Delivery Week. Kira Henderson is jogging her way into the classroom (Gordongram: not something you want to do if you're expecting in 10 days, but I digress). She's having a little girl named Kennedy Marie. The middle name is not Madison, but it could be...

3rd Grade Geometry: True or False: A quadrilateral could have all acute interior angles. Kira thinks you can, so it's True. Pablo and Annalise both say False. The kids are right, but is Madison? Yes she is, for the Save. Total: $2,500.

5th Grade Anatomy: What organ in the human body has pleural fluid? Kirsa is stumped, so she uses her Copy. The answer is The Lungs. Madison wrote...the Liver. Love her or Liver. Total: $0.

5th Grade World History: The 1894 Sin-Japanese war was a conflict between Japan and what other country? Kira's gut says Korea. Her gut needed to say China. Total: $0.

Madison, like Kira's current bank account, is no longer in play. Maybe Pablo can help out with both.

2nd Grade U.S. Geography: If Annalise is visiting the only state that borders 4 of the 5 Great Lakes, what U.S. State is she visiting? Kira says Michigan, and this time, she's right. Total: $1,000.

4th Grade Cultural Studies: The Ashanti people, mostly farmers, are native to what continent? Kira uses her last cheat and Peeks at Pablo's paper, which says Africa. Kira will go with it, and she's absolutely right. Total: $4,500.

She also has absolutely no cheats left, which means she has to get through 5 questions by herself.

4th Grade Literature: In Anna Sewell's novel 'Black Beauty', the title character is what species of animal? Kira thinks it's a horse. It IS a horse. Total: $8,000.

3rd Grade Social Studies: Which of the following office holders is elected for the shortest term: U.S. President, U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator? Kira says it's the U.S. Representative, and with 2 years, she's right again! Total: $10,500.

2nd Grade Earth Science: By definition, Magma is which of the following states of matter: Gas, Liquid or Solid? She thinks it's liquid. It IS liquid and she's right. Total: $11,500.

1st Grade Astronomy: Which of the planets in our solar system has the most water? Kira quickly and confidently says Earth. Make it 6 straight questions correct. Total: $12,000.

1st Grade Vocabulary: What is the plural form of the word 'Woman'? Kira says Women and goes with it. This woman has a lot of money. Total: $12,500.

Does Kira want to try to turn $12,500 into $125,000? The subject: U.S. History. Kira is going to err on the side of caution and quit. She walks with $12,500, which is a nice haul.

NIGHTCAP! Will Ty'ese go for $30,000 in the subject of U.S. Geography? Yes she will! The question: Built in 1929, the world's highest suspension bridge, the Royal Gorge, is located in what U.S. State? Ty'ese guesses Georgia. The answer is...Colorado. But she only loses $500 and gets the $2,500 credit card, which isn't that bad. More players tomorrow.

Hand #1: Harold's 2 is the meat in a king sandwich. Richard passes a 4 to Shelley for 14. Shelly returns the favor twice with two nines to bust him out. Shelley then works on Harold with an 8 for 10, then keeps an ace away from him for 15... then catches 21 on a 6 to take the round, the trip, a chip, and 1000 points. Richard has 100. Harold not on the board yet.

Hand #2: Shelley and Richard get 10-cards again with Harold on a 5. Richard passes a 5 to Shelley for 15. Shelley once again returns the favor with a 9, but Richard would get the right to freeze next question, a right he gladly exercises. Harold finally gets on the board with a 5 for 10. Shelley doubles that for 20... then busts Harold out the door with a king. But then karma comes back in the form of a 7 to give Richard the round.

Final Hand: Shelley gets a 9 to Richard's jack. Shelley picks up a queen and freezes at 19. Richard needs an ace or a face to win... and he gets the ace to win, 21-19.

Bonus Round with three Power Chips:
1) 9 - 6 - 7
2) K - A = 21 ($5000)
3) 7 - 4 - Q = 21 ($1000)
PASSED: 4, J

And that's enough for Richard, who leaves with $6000. BUT... playouts are fun, aren't they? Next card... a jack. Chip it for a... 5. Good call.

Bullseye Round:
$1000: 100 men: Are are you a Playboy, a one woman man or a no woman man? Patricia gets $1000 from ONE WOMAN MAN.
$2000: People are always telling children that it's always important to get a good what? It wasn't a good night's sleep as it was a good..... EDUCATION. Darren wins $2000.
$3000: Past or present, someone famous whose first name is Harry. HARRY TRUMAN gives Lori the 3.
$4000: An actor you associate with western movies. Ian gets JOHN WAYNE for $4000.
$5000: the room in the house where you spend the most time alone. Both were stumped as it was not the living room and it's not the bedroom. People spend time alone in the...... BATHROOM. So the Freedmans end the round with $24,000 to the Finkelmans' $16,000.

Single: something people make with bananas.

1. Banana split/sundae38  5. Shake/Smoothie 4
2. Banana pudding 28      6. Banana daiquiri 3

3. Pool table 8
4. Car door/seat 6

The challenging family knew about the #1 answer to steal the tripler and force sudden death for the third straight show, and for the third straight sudden death, the Freedmans took the game after knowing something that reminds you the fall season which were the leaves fall/turn (77). With $24,000 up for grabs in Fast Money, Robert had a tough time with a couple of answers and blanked out on the last question, as his first answer was already taken. They fall short for the third time and get another $740 for a three-day total of $1665.

Christine gets us going with $200 The Roman God or Goddess of... Jennifer finds the Daily Double under $800 "GE". She bets half of her $1000 on this: it's the use of scientific methods to alter DNA to modify an organism's hereditary traits. "What is genetic engineering?" Correct for $1500! She would go to $4300 to Christina's $800. William's at -$400, which means that he's going first in Double Jeopardy!...

She takes over the lead to end the round, $9600 to $9100 for Jennifer. William can play spoiler with $3600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Olympic Cities": it's the only US state capital to have hosted the Summer Olympics. Correct response: what is Atlanta (in 1996)?

The challengers are on it, doggone it. But is Christine? ... YES! Did she bet enough? YES! She wins another $18,201 for a three-day total of $54,403!
