Cain
(Kenny, Katrice, Darrell, Bridget, Albert) |
Christopher
(Joe, Wyatt, Marianne, Beth, Carrie); $41,650, four
games |
One game separates the
Christophers from immortality. Let's see how it goes
down.
Round 1: if you were a
seven foot tall man, a question you'd get tired of
hearing (5). Joe asks "How's the weather up there?" for
#2. Kenny asks about basketball for #3. Wyatt gets the
big one, "How tall are you?" They also ask "How'd you
get so tall?" The Cains ask how big are your shoes? Not
good enough for the 87, as the Christophers hold onto
it. Other answer: Can you get that?
Round 2: the best way to
get a bill collector off your back (6). Wyatt gets #3,
change your phone number, while Katrice gets #4, hang up.
Marianne gets the money answer, pay the bill. You can
also move. The Cains try to steal again with promise to
pay the bill... Nope. Christophers up to 157. Other
answers: don't answer/screen, disconnect phone.
Double: something that
goes up that you hope comes down (full board). Marianne gets
#2, an airplane. Joe comes up with the money answer, gas
prices. The Cains hope to steal with elevator... Got it
and the 74. Other answers: interest rates, hot
temperature, balloon.
Triple: something that
could kill you with one bite (4). Bridget gets the top
one with a snake. Left on the board... Spiders, sharks,
and ... a lion? The Christophers hope so for the fifth
win... Christophers are five-timers, 427-74!
Carrie and Wyatt team up
for 133 for $665, giving them $42,315 for five games.
Hopefully we'll see them later on down the road.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Host: Alex Trebek |

Chris Mazurek
Columbia, MO
assistant professor
$76,597, four days |
Liz Channon
Newport News, VA
copy editor |
Jim Spillman
Gloucester, MA
purchasing manager |
Can Chris become the
first five-time champ in recent history with today's
match, or will Jim and Liz play spoiler?
He starts with $200
"Super" Words. Everyone's stumped on "Superboy", but it
doesn't stop Chris, who leads at the TV time out with an
astonishing $5800 to Liz's $600 and Jim's $400.
Jim finds the Daily Double
under $600 Out West. He bets the max of $1000 on this:
DH Houston patented a roll film camera in 1881 & said he
came up with this grand name to honor his state, North
Dakota. "What is a Brownie?" Close, it was Kodak,
leaving him $400 in the red. He gets out, but with $1600
to Liz's $2200 and Chris's $9400, it's Jim who starts
Double Jeopardy!...
with $400 You Must Be an "Egg"head, as Jim finds
the
first Daily Double under $1200. He bets $2400
on this: the sounding of the notes in a chord one after
another in rapid succession. "What is an arpeggio?" Right
for $6800! Jim also finds the second Daily Double under
$1600 Next Letter After.... He bets $4500 on this: ...
in the Morse code alphabet. "What is T?" You
have the lead with $12,900! He ends this round with
that, while Chris is hot on his tail with $12,600. Liz
also in the thick of it with $11,400.
Quick reminder: next week is
Celebrity Jeopardy! from Radio City Music Hall.
Final Jeopardy! in "Phrases
in American History": this phrase linking 2
entities was in Jefferson's 1802 letter to the Danbury
Baptists, elaborating on the 1st Amendment. Correct question: what
is "the separation of church and state"?
Liz... right. Chris... right
and doubling. Jim... right... and enough. Jim's your
spoiler champ with $25,550. Chris leaves with $78,597. |

Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS
Host: Bob Barker |

Leanne Lower, Elizabeth Holmes, Chelsea Conard,
and Law Zalbriskie have the calldown rights as they bid on a swing. It goes for
$2995... to Leanne. Now can she win a Saturn Sky in Lucky Seven? First number...
2 She guesses 2... Second number is 6. That's $4. Next guess.. 5... Third number
is 7. She's left with a buck. Next guess... 4... 8. She will not be winning it
all today.
San Diego resident Eli Majors is down and up
thanks to a $725 set of tennis equipment. Now he gets to Make His Move for a
candlestick phone, a desk/chair... and a trip to San Diego. He should be a third
of the way there, then. The board is 2 6 7 4 8 0 4 9 8. Sure enough, he is, as
he gets $2674 right for the trip. He sets the phone at $80 and the desk/chair at
$498... and he's right! He's going home! Whee!
Law gets a $2595 gas pump replica. Now he plays
for an entertainment center with HDTV. The game is (New) Balance Game, and the
bags are $1000, $2000, $4000, and $483. We'll give him the $483. He chooses the
$1000 and the $4000.... and it's too light. The set was $6483. We needed more
girth as it were.
The homeward bound Eli is also Showcase-bound.
How about Charles Jackson, Jr., who's down and up with a $1299 coffee machine
(thanks to a bid given directly by his wife). Now he gets a shot at a CD
jukebox. Let's check out Check-Out. The products: Hot Pockets, Pringles potato
crisps, Fiji water, Westbrae Natural salad beans, and Nature Valley granola
bars. His bids: $2.29, 59c, $2.50, $1, and $4. Actual prices: $2.49, 79c, $1.59,
99c, and $3.29. That's a buck 23 off, giving him (and Wanda) the win.
Air bikes are next, and for $1399 for both of
them, they go to Elizabeth. Now can she win a Ford Focus, a drink dispenser, a
CD player, an ice cream sphere, and a rechargeable toothbrush? The game is
Switcheroo, and the board...

4, 5, 1, 2. She gets... 2 right. She elects to switch to 3, 4, 5, 2, and 1. She
has the drink dispenser right ($40)... the ice cream maker ($29)... and the car
($16,735)!
Joseph Sarkisian spoils Chelsea's day, as he wins
an $899 area rug. Can he win a drum set with cymbals and a grandfather clock?
We're at Barker's Bargain Bar right now. The drum set is marked at $1587. The
clock is marked at $2450. He goes with the drum set. The clock is discounted
$700 from $3150. The drums are actually $2587 for the win!
Showcase time as Elizabeth wins the Showdown.
First up, Phire and Gaby reenact Rocky to the tune of a day bed with sleep set,
a hot tub, and a Pontiac G6. Elizabeth bids $24,500. Eli gets a grill, a dining
room with dinnerware & stemware, and a trip to Buenos Aires. Eli bids $16,435.
Actual price... $22,603, a difference of $6168. Actual price of Elizabeth's
Showcase... $25,274. She wins with $43,477.

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire? by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check local listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |
|
It's a new month, and again,
we start with someone new in the hot seat. This time,
it's Philip Blanda (Brooklyn, NY). He works at Grand
Central, directing people to the right trains. After
some praise for New York, Philip starts by knowing that
an actor who receives a "callback" has been asked to
once again audition for a role. He sweeps the lower
tier, then sees this...
[$2,000]
Which of these presidential-sounding movies is not
actually about a U.S. president?
A: Jefferson in Paris
B: The Truman Show
C: Young Mr. Lincoln
D: Nixon
Philip asks the audience, and a whopping 94% says B. He
trusts them... and they're right! Moving on...
[$4,000]
In 1982, what branch of the U.S. armed services
introduced the appropriate recruiting slogan "Aim High"?
A: Army
B: Navy
C: Air Force
D: Marines
The 50:50 leaves C and D. Philip says C... and he's
right! Another question later, and he has this to
ponder...
[$16,000]
In a May 2006 referendum, what small Eastern European
country voted to declare itself independent of Serbia?
A: Bosnia-Hercegovina
B: Croatia
C: Macedonia
D: Montenegro
Philip ponders this for a bit, then decides to call a
co-worker, Frank. Frank's first thought was D. Philip
was thinking that as well, so he goes with that... and
it's D! One question left in the middle tier...
[$25,000]
Which of these is not currently a suffix that can be
used in Internet domain names?
A: .info
B: .name
C: .news
D: .biz
Philip says he's done. He didn't know what it is (it's
C), so he's taking the $16,000!
Next up is Katie Furlong (Louisville, KY), a waitress.
She has a problem with how some people pronounce the
name of her hometown. She says it's "lou-e-vle" (that's
the best I could do in terms of putting the
pronunciation in writing). With that out of the way,
Katie starts by knowing that a sound effect usually
associated with that made by a cash register is "Ka-ching!"
(since "Slam-a-lam-a-ding-dong!" just seems too weird).
She secures $1,000, and she is doing very well as she
gets to this...
[$25,000]
When it runs out of names for tropical storms, the World
Meteorological Organization assigns names based on what?
A: Greek alphabet
B: Roman numerals
C: Constellations
D: Ancient gods
Katie isn't sure about this one, so she asks the
audience. 78% are thinking A. It's a good number, so she
trusts them... and she has $25,000! On to the upper
tier...
[$50,000]
The tiny African nation of Lesotho has the geographic
distinction of being entirely contained within the
borders of what other country?
A: Kenya
B: South Africa
C: Sudan
D: Tanzania
The 50:50 leaves A and B. Those were the 2 that she was
thinking it could be, though, so Katie calls her father,
Bill. However, he doesn't know. Well, it's a free guess,
so Katie saves her Switch-the-Question lifeline, and
goes with B... and she's right!
That will do it for now. We'll see if Katie can win even
more money tomorrow. |

Yo
Momma by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 6p ET/5p CT on MTV
Host: Wilmer Valderrama |

We continue the search for the best
crackers in Manhattan. Today, it's Hell's Kitchen vs. Harlem.
First up, Sam in Hell's Kitchen checks
out Bryan, Emilio, Holly, Mike, and Dee Dollars. After a heated
freestyle, we get another battle from Bryan and Emilio.
Next up, Harlem, baby... They get
young Fame, Lord, Billy Dee, Big Dre, Muffy, and Jokester. Billy
Dee and Lord have the delivery to deliver another battle.
(C-Note: Notice Lord's shirt says
"Look, I'm on Yo Momma". This will be relevant later)
Going to the final battle today are
Emilio and Lord. First, some ammo. Emilio and Wil hit up Lord's
place. A belt buckle, a Freddy Kruger mask, a Prince poster, and a
silver medal for spooning. Remember, kids, spooning leads to
forking. In Emilio's space... a Canal Street "That 70s Show"
season 3 set, a dog encyclopedia, and Carlos (Emilio's brother)
with a headshot.
The final battle ends with these two KO's...
Emilio: You see the shirt? Well, I
tell your stepson the same thing every time he walks in on us.
"Look, brother, I'm on yo momma!"
Lord: Your father was the first gay slave.
When they hit, they hit big. When
they missed, they missed big... this battle and the $1000 that
goes with it goes to... Emilio. |
