Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Team Naughty (Kimberlin Brown - Y&R, Ronn Moss - B&B, Lauren Koslow - Days, Jane Elliot - GH, Jess Walton - Y&R) for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation; $20,000
Team Nice (Tracey Bregman - Y&R, Lorenzo Lamas - B&B, Austin Peck - Days, Scott Clifton - GH, Doug Davidson - Y&R) for Juvenile Diabetes Foundation

The Naughties took game one, but the night is still young. Round 1: something a man might love even more than a woman (7). Kimberlin gets #1, a car. Sports also makes the list, but the Nice Guys have a chance to steal with his dog. It's up there for 49. Other answers: himself, food/cooking, money, his children

Round 2: something women do to get over being dumped (5). Ronn gets #1, eat. They also find another man, go shopping, and cry, but Team Nice tries girlfriends for the steal... Not there, giving the Naughties 79. Other answer: go to bar/drink.

Double Round: something that's slippery and hard to hold onto (5). Lauren gets #3, ice. Jane gets #1, a bar of soap. Ronn gets #2, a fish. The Nice Guys go the other route with a man for the steal. Not there, giving the Naughties 238. Other answer: a water balloon, a wet baby.

Triple Round: a place of business where you might be asked to sit or lie down (4). Scott gets #1, a doctor's office. That's all they get, though. The Naughties want to steal with spa. Not there, giving the Nice Guys 292. Other answers: hospital, restaurant, massage parlor.

Sudden Death: something a parent might make a child do before going to bed. That's Stupid Doug: "Say prayers." Not there. Jess: "Brush their teeth." That's game, 443-292.

Lauren & Kimberlin get only 151 in Fast Money for $755.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Television's fastest hour is about to begin! First up, a treadmill. It goes to Stacy Morey, who also gets a chance at a trip to DC! The game is Range Game, as she stops it at around $3400. The price: $3442. She's going to Washington!

Meanwhile, Victoria Sanchez gets to ease back with her new sofa, as she finds some Pocket ¢hange for a Pontiac G6 worth $21,840. After one mistake, Bob will sell it for 50 cents... and that's what she pulls on the first ticket! Actually, she pulls a quarter, but it just so happens that she has another one.

John Jimenez, meanwhile, grabs a pair of night vision binoculars, and at a good time, too, because it's time to play PLINKO! With chips from Bob, a jump start system, a sandwich maker, and a register bank, he manages to total up $1600. That's all the money he wins, though, as Victoria takes another $6000 in the Showdown.

Maurice Coleman from Chicago needs a car really really bad. He gets... a day sailer. Well, if you put wheels on it, I suppose. Anyway, now he has a chance to win something with wheels, a scooter, as well as a projection TV. The scooter is marked $3499. The TV is marked $4995. Will he Switch? Nope. Should've.

Joshua Cappelen wins a gas range in round 5 and a chance to hit the Bullseye for a new dining room with dinnerware. The products: Tums tablets, Little Debbie Honey Buns, Airborne Jr., Hot Pockets, and Goldfish crackers. He goes for eight honey buns at $1.39 a pop. That's $11.12, and that's the Bullseye!

Finally, Andriana de Odria wins a karaoke and gets to use the microphone to scream That's Too Much! The prize: a Ford Focus. She thinks that $19,980 is Too Much, and That's Too Right! But the sun shines on Maurice, as he may yet get his car in the Showcase.

All depends on what's in it. First up, the TPIR cheerleaders (who, I should add, you'll never catch in a run-in with police at Tampa) cheer for a cocktail ring (R!), a fridge/freezer (A!), a trip to British Columbia (C!). Put it together and what do you get? RAC! Turn it around, you idiot! CAR! That would be a Chevy Impala. Top winner Victoria keeps it and bids $32,000. Maurice gets a new game room with Coca-Cola machine replica, a pool table, & a Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr./Mario Bros arcade game, and a trip to Rio. Maurice bids $28,500. Actual price: $19,897. He's over. Actual price of Victoria's Showcase... $31,530. Only by $470, she's over! So a show that started out with so much promise ends in a double overbid.

Stats: 4/6, $65,793, and no car for Maurice.

 
Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera
Marcie (Northglenn, CO; singer); comic relief, loves Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder, describes music as "poppy with an R&B groove with a little rock thrown in".
Dorothy (San Diego, CA; guitarist); likes Norah Jones, Incubus, and chai tea lattes, a bit of a romantic, describes music as "very ecletic".
Emmanuel Jones (20; Los Angeles; step master); likes to dance and shop, considers music "life".

Let's see if the writers can step to these words: Emmanuel, step master, shop, fresh. On the line, a date in Puerto Vallarta.

First in the writing room, Marcie just starts singing something that sounds like Scissor Sisters. Then she goes into the melody. Meanwhile, Dorothy goes through a few keys with the band. Ryan's notes on Marcie: just a little monotonous.

Switch as the band is falling dead asleep. Dorothy explains coffee house alternative, which, if you don't know, is exactly what Phoebe from "Friends" sings. Dorothy injects a few soul bars in it. Meanwhile, Marcie decides that she won't need a guitarist... but "she does need bodies." "We're not stepping." Ryan's notes on Dorothy: doesn't really have much at all.

Step master Emmanuel is being tucked away in Ryan's little cubbie hole there. He's looking for a beat. First up, Marcie, looking like Janet Jackson. She sings "Your Girl" without the aid of a stepping band. Well, you can't say you didn't try. Emmanuel does a little step in the hole. He digs it.

Then comes Dorothy, who looks like Norah Jones if she dressed like Janet Jackson. She sings "Got to Love On". Sounds kinda like Bob Marley to start, but it would sound better if she was on pitch! "I like that a lot."

Emmanuel's got a hard choice... Number three? No! He chose... Marcie.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  Noon ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
Catalina is dressed up as a nice present. She'd love a present for herself - and she gets one in the form of $50. But she can also have a bigger present...with wheels...in the form of a $14,920 Ford Focus! All Catalina has to do is to price Windex Wipes, Tilex Mildew, Formby's Lemon Oil Treatment and Spectracide Weed Stop within the price limits set. First up - the WIndex within 2 bucks. Guess - $2.50. Actual Price - $2.66 and so far, so good. Can she get the Tilex within $1.50? Guess - $3.50. Price - $3.92 and she's 2 for 2. The third item - the Formby's - within 1 dollar. Guess - $4.00. Price - $5.43 and no car for Catalina. She does get $200 for each item right, and she can get another $200 for a 50 cent guess on the Spectracide. Guess - $6.50. Price - $5.97 and no more money for Catalina.

Guillermo isn't done yet with Catalina, as he offers her Curtain #2 for the $450. She doesn't want it, and turns down a new kitchen with refrigerator, dishwasher and stove worth $2,097. She does have $450 though, which isn't too bad.

Next up to play is Adeline, who is a gypsy girl. She can boogie away with
$300, or she can spend it for Curtain #3...OR she can also trade for the card that Guillermo has. Adelina takes the card and she doesn't collect a Giant Tea Cup which is big enough for her to go swimming in a Chasco Pool. She instead gets money in the envelope - $1,200 worth!

Raggedy Anna wants to do a deal as well, and Guillermo will give her $400 - if she should step on a scale to reveal her weight. Carlos the guitar player or Walter the boxer will also get money, pending on who is closer to the weight of Ana and the stagehand combined. The weight is 343 pounds. Walter's Guess - 280. Carlos's Guess - 295. Carlos is closer, so he gets $400 - and a chance to trade it away for Curtain #1. Carlos wants the money, but he could have had a new sofa worth $899. Now it's time for Ana to decide if she wants to keep the money or go for the box. She also wants the money and this time, she could have been going to Las Vegas with $600 worth of gas for a prize worth $1,306.

Next up - The Gran Trato. Playing for it will be Adeline (who gives up $1,200) and Catalina (who gives up $450). Adeline wants Door #2 and Catalina wants Door #3. We first see, Door...#3, which has $850 - a nice little upgrade for Catalina. Adeline will also get a nice upgrade of gift, but her trip to Curacao worth $2,125 is not as good as the sofa, tables, and lamp worth $5,220 that either of them could have had should either of them have picked Door #1. We'll try to see if anyone will select the right door on the next show.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block & Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
With the city of New Orleans rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina, we see the first of 2 weeks of shows taped in August just before the hurricane hit. We are celebrating "Fabulous Food" this week on WOF! Pat and Vanna ask for your help in the continued rebuilding effort and will match the first $100,000 donated at wheeloffortune.com.

The $1,000 Tossup is On the Menu. Preschool teacher Janet Spears of Pascagoula, MS gets $1000 from the BLUE-PLATE SPECIAL. Ray O'Sullivan is a retired sales manager from Hammond, LA. Tasha Walters is a pharmacist from Jay, FL. Let's go In the Kitchen for the $2,000 Tossup. Ray gets POTATO MASHER for $2000. He starts the prize round with a trip to Madrid on the Wheel. It's worth $4086. And way to be a sport from Janet, as she's cheering for big money from everyone. Janet solves PANCAKE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN FOR $7300.

The Eggland's Best Jackpot round is a phrase. Janet does it again with BENDING OVER BACKWARDS for another $3350.

The Mystery round prize is $10,000 in cash. That'll buy a lot of crayfish. The category is Song Lyrics, and it's a Prize Puzzle. Janet just controls the Wheel, picking up the trip to Madrid and solving IT'S ONE FOR THE MONEY TWO FOR THE SHOW for that, $6450, and another trip to Las Vegas! And if you've got Spin ID LA 04509.

Janet's roll continues with the $3000 Tossup, a SMART COOKIE. That leads us into a Fictional Character. After one regular call, we're down to the Final Spin of $1400. Ray solves THE GORTON'S FISHERMAN for $4200, giving him $6200 for the day. Tasha gets the house minimum of $1000, but Janet is the big winner with $29,566 in cash and trips!

But what's one more prize gonna hurt? It's Bonus Round time. We're dealing with a Living Thing. With the regular six and MDP A:

_ A L _ _ _ T

She couldn't get HALIBUT for $25,000... Which seems like small potatoes when you consider that she's got $29,566.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, as Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week began, David Wieland & Sarah Badics (Chicago, IL) made it all the way to $100,000. And they're not done yet.

As far as what to do with their winnings, Sarah mentions that they'd like to upgrade a few aspects of what's already planned, like getting a band to play at the wedding and some meal choices, plus they'd like to make some good plans for the honeymoon. Speaking of which, David would like for that to happen in Hawaii. With all that being said, they resume with this question, worth $250,000...

Who is the only U.S. astronaut to have flown on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions?
A: James Lovell
B: Alan Shepard
C: Buzz Aldrin
D: Wally Schirra

Neither of them know it, so they decide to use their last lifeline and call David's brother, Chris. Unfortunately, he couldn't come up with an answer in time. So, David & Sarah decide to stop right here and walk. After finding out that the answer was D, they head out with $100,000, which ties this season's highest money total awarded so far!

Next up are Ken Wincko & Amy Kitchell (New York, NY). These two met during an intramural coed touch football thing, where she was playing and he was the ref. And she tried her hardest to get his attention, but as Ken said, it went over his head. Well, something had to have worked, as they're here now. They start by knowing that according to tradition, a man asks for a woman's hand in marriage after getting permission from her father (though if the woman were to have a parole officer, the man would probably want to think about it first). Ken & Amy manage to build some momentum as they continue through, eventually getting to this $16,000 question...

In the 2005 movie "War of the Worlds," a dad and his two kids must flee as the aliens pulverize his hometown in what U.S. state?
A: New Jersey
B: California
C: Florida
D: Illinois

Neither Ken nor Amy saw the movie, so they ask the audience. 66% of the studio audience and 61% of the AIM users go with A. Ken & Amy trust the audience... and they're right! After a break, they receive a $1,000 gift certificate from Kohl's, which is theirs to keep regardless of how they do. They then get to $25,000, but at the next level, they don't know what Wagner opera the melody for the wedding song "Here Comes the Bride" is from (Lohengrin), so they switch that question out, and in comes this one for $50,000...

In 1994, what TV show broke ground when it depicted a gay marriage between innkeepers Ron and Erick?
A: Roseanne
B: Party of Five
C: Northern Exposure
D: Picket Fences

Ken thinks it's not A or B, then he and Amy decide to call Amy's friend, Jennifer, who thinks it's A, but is only about 50% sure. Ken & Amy then use the 50:50, and A is removed, along with D. So much for the Phone-a-Friend's help... After talking it over for a bit, they decide to go with C... and they're right! They then walk due to not knowing what country the Bodele Depression, which is thought to be the world's largest single source of dust, is located in (Chad), which means they head home with $50,000!

That's all for today. We've had 2 big wins so far this week; could another couple top either of them tomorrow? We'll just have to wait and see.

Just as a reminder, you can enter a contest at www.theknot.com/millionaire, where someone will win a trip to Hawaii! To enter, you just need to correctly answer a question from the end of one of this week's shows, and if you missed it, or you don't remember, here is today's question...

Which of these is not one of the "4 C's" of picking out a diamond engagement ring?
A: Clarity
B: Cut
C: Class
D: Color
