Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Team Naughty (Ronn Moss - B&B, Lauren Koslow - Days, Jane Elliot - GH, Jess Walton - Y&R, Kimberlin Brown - Y&R) for the City of Hope; $20,755

Team Nice (Lorenzo Lamas - B&B, Austin Peck - Days, Scott Clifton - GH, Doug Davidson - Y&R, Tracey Bregman - Y&R) for Angel Flight

So far, it's all Naughty and no Nice. Round 1: something people rehearse (6). The play's the thing for Ronn as he gets #1. The Naughties also rehearse wedding vows. The Nice want to rehearse dancing... Not there! The Naugties get 55. Other answer: song/music, speech/sermon, apology, marriage proposal.

Round 2: a famous millionaire (5). Bill Gates is #2, but Lauren gets #1, the Donald. She elects to pass, though. So the Nices get into it with Oprah, Howard Hughes... and that's it. The Naughties get to steal with Rockefeller... Not there! The Nices get 86. Other answer: Tiger Woods?! Well...

Double Round: someone who might say to you "Well, there's good news and there's bad news" (full board). Scott gets #1, a doctor. They also get your boss. Your kid is the steal from the Naughties... Up there for 145. Other answers: significant other, your friend, your parents.

Triple Round: something people conduct (4). Stupid Doug smacks the hell out of that buzzer and gets #1, an orchestra. A train is all that the Nice can come up with, so the Naughty get to steal with business... Up there for the win, 343-86. Other answer: surveys. Well, duh.

Today's show proved that, contrary to popular belief, evil does triumph over good. They just don't enjoy it. Ronn only gets 73 in Fast Money, while Jane gets 60. That's another $665 for charity.

The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

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

Negotiating the hump at 7800. Here's what went down on this hump day in history.

We got things off to a big start with Bob's audience entrance, leading to contestant Matthew Helmers capturing a $1345 set of men's golf equipment, then walking the Golden Road. His journey began with 81¢ pencil erasers, moved to an ESP electric guitar, turned and went to a Wesley Allen platform bed with Tempur-Pedic sleep set, and ended with "a prize worth more than $61,000", a Chevy Corvette convertible. He managed the guitar alright ($849), but stumbled on the bed, by guessing 4 to fill in $2_37. Real price: $2937.

Let's hope Hans can lift things up to his mountain peak. Contestant Major Ricardo Tremillos (sporting 6 rows of ribbons) claimed a "Lady Liberty" sculpture from Miller Import ($550), and took the stage to play Cliff Hangers for an American 18 day sailer, $9262. His swag items: a Rolling Stones CD, a coin sorter, and a crystal ball sound machine. No problem with the first one, guessing $20 (after guessing $19.95) and moving Hans only one step. Then the bottom fell out. Guessing $53 on the coin sorter, Hans took off 23 steps (stopping at 24). So, for the Major to win, he could only miss the sound machine by $1 high or low. His guess: $43. Right price: $40. Another Hans off to Pricing Game Heaven.

Something's gotta pick up around here, right? Bob doesn't come thru the audience every day, people! Contestant Wendy Brief (sic) picked up the mood a little by nailing a $500 perfect bid on a collection of Picnic Time gear. She claimed the $500 cash stash and played One Wrong Price for a Honda Elite CH 80 ($2324), a refrigerator/freezer with 13" TV ($3401), and a Broyhill "Tropical Retreat" sofa ($1250). Her choice of the fridge was the right wrong price (wait, did that make sense?). Real price: $2749. FINALLY! A WINNER!!

Let's get the second half off to a wonderful start as well. We've got one winner, let's add to the pile. Contestant Ana (last name missed) captured a $1625 Howard Miller key-wind wall clock, then must Pick A Pair to get to Niagra Falls, a trip worth $4335. Her choice of Tylenol Arthritis and the Smartgrip Squeegee (both $5.99) sends her to Canada!

We're on a roll! TWO IN A ROW!! Let's make it three, shall we? Contestant Sherrie Garcia captured a $1206 Dell laptop, and played Card Game for a Pontiac Vibe. Her difference: $2000. It took her only two leading draws (4h, Qc) before drawing an all-important Ace of Clubs to set her bid at $18,000. Actual Retail Price...of that car...sitting right back there...that she could win...on The Price is Right...is...$18,641. THREE IN A ROW!!

Let's go for four with contestant Andrew Azer, a USC Trojan, capturing a $1040 set of his & her American Tourister luggage. His prize: a "rockin' new Laserstar Jukebox." His game: Flip Flop. This could be a problem. Wrong price: 46 95. Does he flip ($6495)? No. Does he flip-flop ($6459)? No. He flops only ($4659) and shoulda flipped. Oh well. 3 outta 6 ain't bad.

Moving on to the Showcases, your Top Winner is ANA! Your Runner-Up is RICARDO! Showcase #1 shows us what happened when Gwendolyn, Rebecca, and Rachel became roommates. Gwendolyn wanted to bring along her Jacobsen riding lawn mower. But, that wouldn't leave space for Rebecca's TheraSauna. Rachel decided that with the other two in, she wouldn't have the space for her Hi Lo telescoping travel trailer. Ana passed to Ricardo, who bid $32,300 (?!).

Showcase #2 gave us 1728 bottles of Crystal Geyser water (a year's supply) to drink in your new Ashley Casa Molina dining room with Noritake dinnerware, then go outside to frolic on your new Yamaha RS Vector snowmobile. Ana's bid is $16,528.

What?! Could this be?! It can't happen. Uh oh. It did. The second CONSECUTIVE Double Overbid this week. Ricardo's ARP: $27,162. Ana's ARP: $14,509. Bob, from whence you came, you will now return. He made a return trip back into the audience as the credits rolled.

STATS: 3/6; $36,914

Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Joe (22, Longview, WA; coffee shop owner); plays guitar & sings in a band called Every Last One, is a pretty cocky guy

Dan (22, St. Louis; guitarist); obsessed with Incubus, just moved to LA, is ruled by goals, looking for muse

Aleeda Keys (19; Lake Stevens, WA; pro skating champ); pool shark, loves to dance, loves bad guys

Who's going to skate off with a pool player? Her words: Aleeda, hustle, rollerskating, dork. Her prize: a trip to Puerto Vallarta.

First in the writing room, Dan and Ryan find a feeling, as Dan lays out a progression. And it's progressing nicely. Meanwhile, Joe wants something up-tempo, while he displays his guitar skills. It's slow at the start, but it has to be quicker. Ryan's notes on Dan: not going to be easy when you have rollerskating and dork.

That's good stuff, guys. Now switch. Joe is having a hard time with the words Aleeda gave. "She's a dork, but it's cool." Okay, that works. The rooster comes out. Meanwhile, the band thinks Dan, who got the OK from Ryan, sounds ridiculous. It happens once a week or so. Ryan's notes on Joe: he's a nice guy, but he's got a lot of work to do.

Heading to the Avalon, as Aleeda skates off into the shadows. Okay, ONE shadow. She's going to be judging on voice. First up, Joe. He sings "Let's Drive". And Aleeda dances along... and in that dress, it's quite the treat. "That was fun! I kicked my shoes off and everything. I liked his lyrics."

Now that... will be tough to beat. Dan's gonna try, though, as he plays what he calls "music" in the form of "The Rain". It's what I call "slow". "Very beautiful song."

Very hard choice. Dan? Joe? Chico? Yeah, don't I wish? Anyway, Aleeda gives the Keys to... Dan! That was unexpected.

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 Things. Rent-to-own assistant manager Greg Arthur of Baton Rouge, LA gets $1000 from HEAPING TABLESPOONS. Tommy Musso, a student from Madisonville, LA and Krissy Garlock, an RN from Biloxi, MS also play. Second tossup is an Occupation. Greg gets $2000 from FURNITURE DESIGNER. He starts the search for a Napa Valley wine getaway in round 1. On the Menu, the category, and it's a Prize Puzzle! Krissy gets $1000 each from Brennan's Restaurant and cooking.com. BAKED LOBSTER RAVIOLI is the solve for her, giving her $1100 and a trip to Italy! And you can go to Italy too if your Spin ID is DZ 01014. GCs not included. So far, she's got $10,175.

The Eggland's Best Jackpot round is Same Name. A few wrong turns of the Wheel gives Tommy control again, when he picks up the Napa Valley trip. But it's Greg, spinning out $3500 who solves COMMUTER & THE GRAVY TRAIN for $5050.

The Mystery round prize is a heaping plate of money, $10,000 in cash. Song Lyrics, the category. Krissy won't let anyone else have a go, solving SOMEONE'S IN THE KITCHEN WITH DINAH for $5650. Gosh, does she have pipes or what?

The tossup for $3000 are Living Things, and Krissy solves SNAPDRAGONS in time for the Final Spin. Pat is doling out $1300 for every consonant. The category, Phrase. Greg solves BRINGING HOME THE BACON for $1000, a total of $9050, but it's not enough to catch Krissy, tonight's big winner with $18,825. Tommy leaves with the house guarantee of $1000.

Before she packs for Italy, let's tackle the bonus round! The category is On the Menu. With the regular six and DHB A:

_ H _ _
_ E _ N

All she gets is an H, but it's all she needs as she lets out CHOW MEIN, followed by another one of those shrieks of delight when she finds out she won a Nissan 350Z convertible! That gives her a total of $55,115! And if you've got Spin ID CR 09151, then that's your ride, too!

Meanwhile, we go to Bailona for some grilled shrimp with black bean cake and coriander sauce. To learn how to make it, go to wheeloffortune.com.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

It's Wednesday, and Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week rolls on...

Matthew Daley & Vicki Hollrah (Orlando, FL) will start the show, and their marriage takes place the week after this taping! So, they could definitely use the money rather quickly. So, they start by knowing that guests typically consult a wedding registry in order to find out about gift suggestions (if you really need chicken dance instructions, look for 'em on the Internet). Matthew & Vicki then move along, answering questions like one that asks what ornate accessory symbolizes a pro boxing champion's title (belt), before getting to this $8,000 question...

In baking, which of these ingredients acts as a leavening agent?
A: Sugar
B: Table salt
C: Flour
D: Yeast

They say that neither of them spend much time in the kitchen, but Vicki has a hunch that it might be D. They decide to go with that... and they're right! After getting the customary $1,000 gift certificate from Kohl's which is theirs to keep, they continue on through the $16,000 question, before reaching this for $25,000...

Which of these countries borders a total of five seas: the Adriatic, Ionian, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian and Mediterranean?
A: France
B: Italy
C: Spain
D: Turkey

Matthew says he knows geography, but this particular question has him and Vicki both stumped. So, after he says it could be B or D, they consider which lifeline to go with, before settling on calling their friend, Andy, whom they say has tried to get on this show about 3 or 4 times. Well, he sorta gets that chance now, and he essentially says B, though he also threw in Greece as also being in the region where those seas are. Matthew & Vicki still don't seem confident enough, though, so they use the 50:50, leaving B and D. Finally, they ask the audience. The studio audience shows 63% in favor of B, but the AIM poll shows 55% in favor of D. Oh my. After Matthew says they'll now be getting maps as gifts, they decide to just walk, and take home $16,000. Oh, and the answer? B.

Next in the double hot seat are Stephen Shively & Tina Berasley (Carmel, NY), who plan to get married in June 2007. He apparently kept her waiting a bit on the day that the proposal occurred. It didn't happen at dinner, and it didn't happen when they went outside in the moonlight. But when they got back to their room, he apparently had a note with the proposal on the bed for her to read. Interesting... Anyway, Stephen & Tina's road to a possible million for the wedding starts with them knowing that at a wedding, the traditional responsibility of a flower girl is to scatter flower petals (though if she were to upstage the bride, I'd expect the result to be a disaster of some sort). They breeze through question after question, as they get to this one worth $4,000...

Which of these mathematical computations results in a remainder?
A: 20 ÷ 4
B: 15 ÷ 5
C: 28 ÷ 6
D: 21 ÷ 7

Stephen is sure that it's C, so he & Tina go with that... and they're at $4,000!

And the horn ends the show for today. Stephen & Tina will return tomorrow, with all their lifelines intact.

For those who still want to enter the contest at www.theknot.com/millionaire for a trip to Hawaii, and missed today's question at the end, here it is...

Approximately how many marriage licenses were issued in the United States in 2004?
A: 1.2 million
B: 1.6 million
C: 2.2 million
D: 3.1 million
