Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Host: Richard Karn
Bobo (Casey, Kimette, Cher'ron, Inous, Margie); $21,405, three days
Parsons (Tim, Charise, Tiffany, Chantal, Taryn) from Queens, NY

The Bobos get one more, then it's off to Disneyland. Round 1: something a woman does for beauty that a man also does (6). Tim gets his hair done for #1, while Casey gets a manicure. Also: showers and shaves. The Bobos can steal with get dressed up. Not there, the Parsons have 81. Other answer: gets facial/mask, uses face cream.

Round 2: something that might be referred to as "juicy" (7). Kimette gets #1, fruit. Other juicy things: gossip, gum, "a female", and a steak. The Parsons have a shot at it with candy. "With a juicy center." Not good enough, as the Bobos get 93. Other answers: lips/kiss, turkey.

Double Round: a way people warm up their cold feet in bed (5). Cher'ron: "With HIS legs." #2. Tiffany: "Socks." #1. You can also cover with a blanket or rub them. The Bobos try to steal with a heating pad. Not there! The Parsons are up to 273. Other answer: hot water bottle (said... by Richard).

Triple Round: something that happened to Pinocchio (4). Chantal gets #1, his nose grew. He was also swallowed by a whale and turned into a real boy. But was he a liar? Of course! The Parsons sweep to win, 558-93.

Siblings Tim & Taryn are going for the Fast Money today. Tim scores #1s  for "after a woman picks out her future husband, something else she picks out" (dress) and "something associated with Halloween" (pumpkins) for 118. Taryn scores for "highest weight possible for a household scale" (300 lbs) and "besides lips, a part of the body that people kiss" (cheeks) for the big kiss, $20,000.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Maria Wenglinski (teacher orig. from Salt Lake City); $52,600; two days
David Braxton (television producer from Hyattsville, MD)
Leslie Burns-Dell'Acqua (creative marketing consultant from San Diego)

After a slow start, Maria, a rarity in J! lore, is a woman on full tilt as she enters her third match with a returning challenger in Leslie (she was bitten by a technicality in the Final a year or so ago). So those anxiously awaiting her return, there you go. Maria starts with $200 National Historic Sites. Right away she runs into the Daily Double under $400, betting the max of $1000. The clue: the Greenville, Tennessee historic site honoring this President preserves his two homes, tailor shop & gravesite. "Who is Johnson?" Alex: "Which one?" Maria: "Andrew?" Right Johnson for $1200. She takes the game... then loses it... then gets it back again, going into the TV time out with $2000 to David's $3000 (his specialty category: TV DOA). Leslie is also in it for the moment at $1800.

Interestingly enough, the last two categories in play were Diana and "Ross". David is so far supreme with $5000 to Maria's $4800. Leslie, still in it with $4000, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Before & After, finding the first Daily Double under the $1200 level. Having just taken the lead, she pushes $3000 out. The clue: Dutch-born king who ruled England jointly with Mary II & is a tasty New Zealand fish. "What is William of Orange Ruffie?" Right for $8200. Marian enters a surreal zone and is in the lead by the time she gets to the second Daily Double, $2000 18th Century Britain. She bets $2500 on the other name of the Royal Highland Regiment. "What is the Black Watch?" It's anyone's game going into the Final, as Maria leads, $16,900, Leslie follows, $12,200, and David trails, $9000.

Final Jeopardy! in "Famous Expressions": this cliché about superfluousness is derived from criticism of a 2nd coronation in Shakespeare's "King John". Correct question: What is gilding the lily?

David is right. He bets everything. Leslie is right. She bets everything. Maria needs to wager $7500 or else Leslie returns as champ... But she is notorious for making the big play. And she does just that, returning tomorrow with another $29,100 and a three-day total of $81,700.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Let's see... Halloween, check. All Saints, check. This must be Dia de los Muertos en el 33. Let's see who lives and who dies. Jennifer Peterson runs on stage in round 1 to take a treadmill, but can she avoid maxing out her Credit Card? The "wonderful array of prizes" today: a stroller, small appliances, an LCD TV, a cradle, and a set of cordless telephones. The credit limit: $2000. She buys the phones for $340, the stroller, and the appliances for the win, making it look easy.

Cindy Adams is down and up thanks to a lounge chair (with a bonus of a Rummikub game). But now it's time for the big prize: a Pontiac Vibe. But that's not all. She can also win an RC car, a chopper, a cookie press, and a rechargeable shaver playing Switcheroo. After the first 30, she gets one right. Not content with that, she goes for another 30. She gets two. She wouldn't have gotten the car either switch, but she does win the RC car (grrr) and the chopper.

US Marine (OOH-rah!) Kevin Robertson wins a pair of train sets. But don't use those in your spa, if you win it. The game is Coming ($4335) or Going ($5334). He "goes", and he's going to relax in that spa! But Cindy is going to the Showcase this half.

Tracy Steinbeck picks up a Tee & Cue table for round 4, but can she pick up a riding mower, four girl guitars, and a dinette? It's all or nothing in Most Expensive. She goes for the dinette... and it's the most expensive!

Diane Buckley takes a gas range from the TPIR choo-choo (the theme today is trains), as she gets to play for a catamaran in Now (today) or Then (August 1998). On the wheel: Fresh Step cat litter, Aspercreme, Fiji bottled water, Westbrae Organics salad beans, Baby Magic bath soap, and Colgate toothpaste. First up, the toothpaste at $2.39. She says THEN. She's right. She goes with bath soap at $4.0, saying NOW. It was THEN. Time to go the other way round with the kitty litter at $7.29, saying NOW. It's NOW. All she needs is to get the Aspercreme at $3.42. She says THEN... it isn't.

Whitney Moore knocks first-four member Nicholas Gamse out of the running with a telescope. The bride-to-be plays One Away for a Ford Mustang. The price is NOT $31,874. She adjusts to $22,965. She gets three horns, changing it up to $22,785. She should've changed the second 2 and the 6. And Tracy knocks Whitney out of the Showcase, as she goes on to face Cindy.

Showcase time! First up, a living room with carpeting, three sets of celebrity luggage, and six nights in Bangkok. Tracy's humbled, but she passes to Cindy, who bids $12,500. Tracy gets to see Gabrielle's anger management with a freezer chest, $1000, and a Ford Explorer. She tags it at $23,595, a difference of $5239. Not bad. Over to Cindy, whose actual price is... $16,198, a difference of $3698. Cindy's the big winner with $18,016.

And I have to agree with Travis today that it's getting a bit chintzy. The totals: 3/6, $41,226.

 
Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera
Lemo (23; Dallas; singer); Southern charmer, loves all genres of music despite looking like an R&B singer
Matt (24; Salem, OR; guitarist); love Stevie Wonder and Maroon5, rates songwriting skills at 8.7
Monique Craig (19; Orange County, CA; lifeguard); dreams of owning a record company and a nightclub, can play any instrument she picks up

A chick from the OC delivers these words of wisdom: Monique, bonfire ("That's how we did it in the OC"), speed (adrenaline junkie), stargazers (favorite flower). Oh yeah, and no unrealistic scenarios or cliches. Way to make it harder. Now the prize: how's Puerto Vallarta sound?

First in the writing room, Lemo wants to take on funky & smooth neo-soul. think Jill Scott or PM Dawn. He still needs to find a "two-chord progression," you know, just to make it easier on Ryan. Meanwhile, Matt is auditioned on his cherry axe. And his ability to snap on the band. Ouch, dude... Ryan's notes on Lemo: Monique doesn't want a snappy song, but Lemo wants to slow it down. Could be a big mistake.

*Switch? music plays* Matt wants to write a different prospective on the acoustic rock love song. He's thinking "have you seen Monique?" So he's telling a story about a bonfire. Could work. Lemo... has no words yet. Or he does, but they're all rubbish. And he's singing in falsetto... when he's not going to sing the song in falsetto. Ryan's notes on Matt while he figures out what a horticulturalist is: a cute theme. "I hope she likes it."

Okay, stop moaning, we'll take you to the Avalon for performances. Monique wants to be blown away by something she's never heard before. Lemo's first, dressed like Gene Rayburn back in the day. He sings "Monique". There's the falsetto that he SWORE he wouldn't use. It just kills the song, really. "Wow." Translation... "Okay..."

Next up, Matt busts out "Have You Seen Monique?" Not bad. Very creative use of the words. "I definitely dug that. That was hot."

Okay, seems like the odds-on favorite is Matt. Monique has chosen... Matt! And Lemo is left to get rid of his stock cheese.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander & Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
It's halftime at NBA Week on Wheel of Fortune. Today, Becky Hammon of the New York Liberty, Ray Allen of the Seattle Sonics (both playing for the Red Cross), and Mike Bibby of the Sacramento Kings (playing for the Red Cross and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sacramento) team up with administrative assistant Rachel Correa of North Arlington, NJ, housewife Deone Docken of Edgewood, WA, and teacher Jenn Bauman of Antelope, CA respectively.

First tossup, a song title: Rachel & Becky get I BELIEVE I CAN FLY (one of R. Kelly's greatest) for $1000. Second tossup, a thing: Jenn & Mike get GOOGLE SEARCH for $2000 and spinning rights for the prize round. Today's prize, a trip to San Diego with a motion-capture session with Ray Allen for Sony's next NBA game, along with an autographed jersey, game ball, NBA'06, and a PS2 to play it on. Add some PS2 merchandise and it comes up to $4000. Phrase is the category. Jenn & Mike control the Wheel for the entire round, solving HOW'S THE WEATHER UP THERE for $5200.

Eggland's Best Jackpot Round is a place AND a Prize Puzzle. Rachel and Becky start. After a lot of work, they lose $2,450 on Bankrupt... over to Ray and Deone...they miss...over to Jenn and Mike. They hit and pick up the $1,000 nbastore.com gift certificate. They hit and pick up the Sony video game trip. They miss....over to Rachel and Becky. They read BUSTLING OUTDOOR MARKET for $800. And they can see them in Mexico! It's a trip to El Cid Castilla Beach Resort in Mazatlan, Mexico. It's worth $4060. And if you have the ID is IC00580 you are off to Mazatlan. That round was worth $4860. And they have $5860 in cash and prizes.

$10,000 is on the line in the Mystery Round. Before & After the category. "Get on there, big dog." Unfortunately, big dog has no S's, so no $3500 for her. Big Dog comes back for Rachel & Becky for $3500. They also enter Mystery Territory for $10,000 should they go for it. They get $2000... and they're going for it! MAKE MINE A DOUBLE DRIBBLE is the solve for $16,550. So far, it's $22,410 for them.

The big winner of this week gets a trip to the 2006 All-Star Game in Houston. This package includes airfare, hotel and VIP Access to all NBA All-Star Events. We also are including apparel from Reebok...and a Spalding Basketball package including hoops and balls, as well as autographed NBA Memorabilia with a DirecTV System with NBA League Pass!

The $3000 tossup is next...and it's OCCUPATION. Rachel and Becky pad their lead with EQUIPMENT MANAGER. They have $25,410...they start this round which is ON THE MENU...Final spin time, however... $1300 a letter tonight. Ray and Deone solve MARYLAND CRAB CAKES for $3900. That is what Deone wins and $10,000 to Ray's charity. Jenn leaves with $7,200...but Mike gets $10,000 for his charity as well. But Rachel and Becky are the big winners with $25,410!

But how about some more of that money? Bonus round time with things as the category. With the usual six and CMP A, we get...

was non smelly GYM SOCKS...And she wins a 2006 Toyota Sequoia worth $34,939! And her total of $60,349 will go to Becky's charity...and if you have the SPIN ID of SM15394 you have to get the pink slip to the new car. Another big bonus round win!

 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Pam Fitzsimmons (New York, NY) got through 6 questions without a problem, reaching the $2,000 level. Let's see if she can continue on her way...

There has been at least one instance where once Pam found her way home (it was mentioned yesterday that she tends to easily get lost), she seemed to have trouble getting out of her car. And she once tried to use boiling water to de-ice the car, but the water just froze, making it harder. She eventually needed help in getting out. Hopefully, she won't need much help here. Pam resumes the game by knowing that a person contracts the orbicularis oculi muscle in order to wink. She then faces this question for $8,000...

In the 2003 movie "Finding Nemo," the sea gulls repeatedly squawk what word?
A: Thief!
B: Mine!
C: Seafood!
D: Trouble!

Pam needs some help, so she asks the audience. 63% of the studio audience and 81% of the AIM users pick B, which Pam then goes with... and they're right! On to $16,000...

When their perimeters are of equal length, which of these shapes always has the largest area?
A: Square
B: Triangle
C: Circle
D: Hexagon

The 50:50 leaves B and C. Pam then calls her husband, Jim, who says C. When asked how sure he is, he says 80%, but at first, Pam thought she heard 8%. (I thought I heard 8% at first too, but after rewinding the tape and hearing it again, I can confirm that Jim said 80%.) But eventually, she believes that he said 80%, then trusts him and goes with C... and it's C! Then, on the $25,000 question, Pam guesses that in 1981, President Reagan was shot minutes after delivering an address to members of the AARP... but it's not the AARP! It's the AFL-CIO! She took the chance, but at least Pam has $1,000.

Up next: Lisa Razon (Old Bethpage, NY). This isn't her first TV appearance, though; she has been on "Dateline" once for the topic "Husbands That Don't Help", and again for "Husbands That Don't Clean". I'm sensing a theme... At least her husband showed up to watch her go for the million, so things seem to be fine with them. Anyway, Lisa starts by knowing the title of the 1873 novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" (I'd hope it wouldn't take that long to get around a Costco parking lot). She moves along through the game, soon making it to this $4,000 question...

With almost 200 signatories, the NPT is a vital international treaty aimed at the non-proliferation of what?
A: Child poverty
B: Global warming
C: Nuclear weapons
D: Illegal immigration

Lisa turns to the audience for some help, and 77% of the studio audience goes with C, while 48% of the AIM users also go with C. She trusts them... and it's C! Lisa then uses the 50:50 to confirm her inkling that pepper comes from the berries of a plant, before reaching this one for $16,000...

According to its mission statement, what preacher's Oklahoma university was "founded in the fires of evangelism" in 1963?
A: Oral Roberts
B: Billy Graham
C: Pat Robertson
D: Jerry Falwell

Lisa calls Ash, the husband of "Dateline's" producer. He says A right away, and she goes with that... and she's up to $16,000!

And that's it for today. Lisa will return tomorrow, albeit without any lifelines.
