STAY TUNED...

Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn

Team Naughty (Jess Walton - Y&R, Kimberlin Brown - Y&R, Ronn Moss - B&B, Lauren Koslow - Days, Jane Elliot - GH) for Grief Recovery Institute

Team Nice (Doug Davidson - Y&R, Tracey Bregman - Y&R, Lorenzo Lamas - B&B, Austin Peck - Days, Scott Clifton - GH) for Kyle Edge's Soccer Club

The Parsons get a week's break, as we welcome the badasses and the good guys of daytime television on the Feud's Soap Opera Special. And in case we haven't said it before... Doug's been around the Feud so long that he's probably in line to replace Richard one of these years. Round 1: 100 women, a place where a cheap date might take you (7). Doug gets a bar, #4. Jess goes to Mickey D's, #1. But the Badasses can only think of movies, so we go to Team Nice for "to coffee". Not there, the Naughties get 82. Other answer: to the park, home, zoo, mall

Round 2: something you need to make a perfect margarita (6). Of course, tequila's number one, courtesy Kimberlin. You also need salt, lime, ice, and a blender. But what does Team Nice think? "The sweet-and-sour mix." There it is for 90.

Double Round: something you couldn't do without... (5). Ronn jumps the gun with water. The rest of the question: ... your lips. Lorenzo gets #1, kiss. Talk, whistle, eat, and drink round it out for 262.

Triple Round: what do you think is the easiest pet to take care of (4)? Austin gets the top with a cat. Fish is up there, but the Naughties try bird for the steal. The bird does it for the win, 319-262. Other answer: dog.

Jess & Jane take on the Fast Money board. Jane gets all the number ones (save for the most enjoyable awards show on TV, the Grammys) for 149. Jess picks up the Grammys for the win, $20,000 to the Grief Recovery Institute.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker

It's a new week, and a new fridge/freezer for Sharon Erickson who gets to try for 2 for the Price of 1. The two: a desk and a pair of motorcycles, so it's like 3 for the Price of 1. Semantics aside, she thinks the desk is $536. It's $532.

Daniel Owens gets himself a CD/DVD sound system and a chance to putt a Hole in One (or Two) for a Chevrolet Colorado. The products: Aspercreme, Starburst chews, Citracal, Duck fridge liner, Johnson's body lotion, and Carnation malted milk. He goes chews, fridge liner, malted milk, lotion, cream, and Citracal, and is stopped at the cream, meaning he'll putt from line 4. Bob's putt from the back... in the hole. Daniel's putt from #4... in the hole.

Sport tubes are on offer in round 3, as John Wagner wins them and a chance at a hot tub. They won't fit, but anyway... The game is Freeze Frame, and John freezes the frame at $4483. Actual price: $5125. No hot tub, and no Showcase either. That goes to Daniel.

Lucy Anders kicks off the second half with a wine cooler. Now she's charged with linking the Secret X for a trip to Cabo San Lucas and writing instruments. The free X goes in top left. The X from a DVD of "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" goes bottom right. The secret X... is dead center. That's a win!

Carolyn Kooch gets a wood stove in round 5, but can't Cover Up correctly for a Ford Focus. Oh well.

Lastly, Juan Hernandez of the US Marines gets a set of backpacking equipment and a chance at a gas grill, a home gym, and a day bed with mattress. All he has to do is figure out which one is the Most Expensive. He goes for the gym. The grill is $1299. The day bed is $1230. The gym is $2499. That's a win, but it's Lucy who'll meet Daniel at the Showcase...

... which begins with a living room with carpeting, a plasma TV, and a petit-grand piano. Top winner Daniel passes to Lucy, who bids $14,050. Daniel, meanwhile, watches as Mother Time has a hissy fit with Father Time. The subjects: a grandfather clock, a trip to London, and a Pontiac Grand Prix. He bids $27,464. Actual price: $34,442, a difference of $6978. The actual price of Lucy's Showcase: $21,263, a difference of $7213. Another small margin, but Daniel pulls it off for $57,986.

Stats: 3/6, $70,543.

Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera

Daniel (18; Lake Elsinore, CA; sings for a band called Next in Line); lives, breathes, sleeps music.

Dane (19; Aurora, CA; bassist); believes music is an art, thinks that he's one of the best, describes music as "folk/pop/rock"

Alison (24; Los Angeles; traveler); likes to travel to obscure places, has a puppy.

If you can put four words in a song and make it sound right, you could travel with a traveler to Puerto Vallarta. Alison's words: Alison, Buddy (her dog), drive, Sri Lanka (where she wants to go).

Your eight hours start... now. First in the writing room, Daniel shares his idears. Ryan says that it needs to be more upbeat, retraining his voice. Meanwhile Dane thinks about a laid back lounging song. Could work. Ryan's notes on Daniel: still struggling with his voice, needs to let it all out.

Maybe a switch'll help. Daniel describes the song as emo/pop/punk. In other words, an earworm the likes of Maroon 5. Dane finetunes lyrics in the writing room so they actually match the guitar backing. Ryan's notes: really chill, but he's got to do something special.

One stage, one lady, two singers. First up, Daniel with a yet to be titled ditty (eventually titled "Please Pick Me"), which sounds like a very cheap Bowling for Soup imitation... VERY cheap. That was just product. "I was definitely digging it." Okay...

Dane has a chance with "Painted Skies", which surprisingly doesn't sound like anything else. Not like Daniel, at least. Probably one of the better songs this series. "I love it. His voice is beautiful." Hard decision.

And the decision goes to... Dane. And they both get a serenade off to Puerto Vallarta by Ryan, because that's how they do on "Score."

CHEF NAME: LAZONE RANDOLPH
DISH: BANANAS FOSTER

Recipe – Bananas Foster

* ¼ cup (½ stick) butter
* 1 cup brown sugar
* ½ teaspoon cinnamon
* ¼ cup banana liqueur
* 4 bananas, cut in half
* lengthwise, then halved
* ¼ cup dark rum
* 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum. When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

Time to break out the double hot seat; it's time for Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week! For those unfamiliar with this type of theme week, engaged couples will each take a shot at the 15-question ladder in the hopes of winning a million dollars to, well, pay for their weddings.

First up are David Wieland & Sarah Badics (Chicago, IL). They met at a party while they were students at the University of Notre Dame, and now, they plan to get married in October 2006. And though it's still a while away, they could use the money. They start by knowing that during the wedding reception, the bride and groom traditionally feed each other the first pieces of cake. David & Sarah then move along smoothly, answering questions like one that asks what retailer kicks off the holidays by unveiling a multimillion-dollar "Fantasy Bra" in its Christmas catalog (Victoria's Secret). After a commercial break taken when they're at $8,000, David & Sarah receive a $1,000 gift certificate from Kohl's, which they get to keep no matter what. Then, eventually, they get to this $25,000 question...

What was the outcome of the historic 1804 duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton?
A: Burr was killed
B: Hamilton was killed
C: Neither man was killed
D: Both men were killed

Sarah begins to remember a commercial from a while ago involving peanut butter, but she and David decide to ask the audience. 42% of the studio audience says B, but with the AIM poll, B and C are tied at 30% each. Sarah then explains the commercial, where a guy was called by a radio show to answer a question asking who killed Hamilton, but the guy had trouble answering "Aaron Burr" due to peanut butter in his mouth. Because of this, she was leaning towards B. But they're still not sure enough, so they use the 50:50, which leaves B and D. Then, after further consideration, they go for it, and say B... and they have $25,000! Another question later, and they see this for $100,000...

What country is named after a nearly-extinct tree that was once the source of a valuable red dye?
A: Peru
B: Cuba
C: Brazil
D: Haiti

David & Sarah have no idea, and they're not sure if anyone on their Phone-a-Friend list would know, so they switch it out. We find out that the answer was C, then after a commercial break, this substitute $100,000 question appears...

To end the Cuban missile crisis, the U.S. agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from what country?
A: Finland
B: Turkey
C: West Germany
D: Greece

David is smiling, because he is 95% sure that it's B. After quickly conferring with Sarah, they go for it and say B... and they're at $100,000!

And that's all for today. David & Sarah will return tomorrow, with 3 questions left and 1 lifeline (the Phone-a-Friend) still available.

But wait! There's a contest going all this week, where you can win a week-long trip to Hawaii! (You gotta be a U.S. resident, though.) You just have to go to www.theknot.com/millionaire and answer one of the questions given at the end of any of this week's episodes to enter the draw. And in case you missed it, here's the first one...

What is the color of a traditional Chinese wedding dress?
A: Blue
B: Gold
C: Green
D: Red
