Round 1: 100 men, some place a woman spends so much time that she should just live there (5). Jessica gets #1, the bathroom. Mall, bedroom, and kitchen follow. What about the hair salon? Got it for the sweep and 84.

Round 2: an animal a farmer could get so attached to that he wouldn't want to eat it (6). Noelle gets #2, a cow. David does one better with pig. We also get horse and sheep. And dog. Roseths can steal with "rabbits". Got it for 170!

Celebrity Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check local listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

"From New York City, this... is... Celebrity Jeopardy!" Now entering Radio City Music Hall...

Doug Savant
actor, "Desperate Housewives"
Desi Geestman Foundation

Jane Kaczmarek
actress, "Help Me Help You"
Clothes Off Our Back

Curt Schilling
World Series champion, Boston Red Sox
ALS Foundation & Shade Foundation

Jeopardy! celebrates its 5000th show with some celeb games. For the next couple of weeks, Jeopardy! will give away at least $1 million to several worthwhile causes.

Doug is at position #1, so he starts with $200 Savants, finding the Daily Double under $600 Doug, the only one with money, bets the max of $1000 on this: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere", he wrote in his 1963 "Letter from Birmingham Jail". "Who is Martin Luther King?" Right on for $1600!

At the break, it's a match between Doug's $4000 and Jane's $4400. Curt, with -$200, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Sounds the Same to Me. Jane finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Malcolm X in the Middle. She has $7600; she bets "half, whatever that would be". The clue: he directed the 1992 film "Malcolm X" & also play Malcolm's pal Shorty. "Who is Spike Lee?" Right for $11,400! Curt finds the second under $1600 Sounds the Same to Me, betting all of his $2200. The clue for $4400 or nothing: shed this drop of saline, watery fluid if you don't know this term for layer or level. "What is a tear/tier?" And he doubles up! That's where he ends, as Doug has $9600 while Jane is leading with $12,600.

Curt wins if... he's right and doubles up, while the other two bet against each other on a wrong answer.
Doug wins if... he's right and doubles, forcing Jane to get a right answer or lose.
Jane wins if... she's right and bets to cover Doug.

The winner of today's match is guaranteed $50,000 for their charity, while the other two get $25,000.

Final Jeopardy! in "Celebrity Relatives": her great-great-grandmother Louisa Lane Drew once appeared in a play with the father of John Wilkes Booth. Correct question: who is Drew Barrymore?

Curt... wrong with Nancy Drew. Doug... Right. Jane... wrong with Nancy Drew. Doug wins this with $18,200 to be augmented to $50,000.

Next time, it's the requisite "Law & Order" smackdown with Sam Waterston, Kathryn Erbe, and Chris Meloni.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check local listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
It'll be hard to top the excitement from yesterday's show, but 20-year Army vet Dave Brunk (Pittsfield, MA) is going to try. When last we left him, he won $2000 with two lifelines remaining. Next question...

[$4,000]
The port city of Valdez is located in what state?
A: Hawaii
B: Oregon
C: Washington
D: Alaska

Time to phone-a-friend. He calls Chevy, "one smart dude." He says, "Alaska, definitely. I don't even have to think about that." Dave agrees... and he's right! He breezes through the $8000 question, but uses his final lifeline for $16,000...

[$16,000]
In its shocking 2006 season finale, what popular TV series killed off rich girl Marissa Cooper in a fiery car wreck?
A: Grey's Anatomy
B: The OC
C: The Sopranos
D: Desperate Housewives

The 50/50 leaves B and D. Dave's going to take a shot with B... And he's right! To $25,000!

[$25,000]
The word "vaccine" comes from the Latin word for what animal?
A: Chicken
B: Rat
C: Cow
D: Rabbit

He's looking at D... but he's not sure about it, as he walks. Correct... C.

Next in the Hot Seat, Lori Hedrick (Philadelphia), aka "Lo-Lo". She makes handbags from scratch, and she's playing for a new sewing machine. She's on her way sweeping the lower tier. She has a pitstop at $4000.

[$4,000]
What tech company, founded in an Iowa farmhouse, uses "cow-spotted" boxed as a tribute to its heritage?
A: Gateway
B: Apple
C: Dell
D: Hewlett-Packard

Time to poll the audience. A whopping 95% say A. Lo-Lo goes with it... And she's right! Next...

[$8,000]
According to the stage directions, what Shakespeare play's first scene is set in "Rome. A Street"?
A: MacBeth
B: King Lear
C: Julius Caesar
D: Romeo and Juliet

The 50/50 leaves B and C. Initial guess, still there. Lori goes with C. Lori's right! Next up...

[$16,000]
At the end of the Spanish-American War, the US gained control over all but which of these islands?
A: Philippines
B: Guam
C: Puerto Rico
D: Canary Islands

She takes B... and America still control that. Correct: D. But Lori leaves with the $1000 she won earlier.

Next up, radio talk show host Sam Greenfield (New York City). A lot of people think he's a woman. But he's a manly man, and he's ready to play. He sails through the lower tier, as he brags that in practicing, he's won the million every third time. It meant nothing then. It means $16,000 today if he gets this final question of the day right...

[$16,000]
Completed in 1869, the Suez Canal provides passage through what nation?
A: Egypt
B: Saudi Arabia
C: Israel
D: Lebanon

He takes the 50/50, leaving him with A or B. He locks in A with authority, and he'll return tomorrow with $16,000! We'll see you then.

 
Yo Momma by Chico Alexander, GSNN

The final slot of the Best of the Bronx gets slotted with either Throgs Neck or Morris Park.

Stepping up for Throgs Neck are Yago, Q, Slick, Al, and Nore. Sam chooses Nore and Q to go at it for one more time. Next up, Morris Park has Nicole, Shihan, Money Brown, Davey Dave, and Jon Heder lookalike Hair Jordan. Hair Jordan and Nicole go heads up.

And when the dust settles, it's all about Nore and Hair Jordan. Ammo time. Nore and Wil invade his house. Mom says that he was a momma's boy, complete with bar mitzvah picture. In his room, we find an old-school zapper, "Jew-elry", an Orange 8-Ball. Meanwhile, over at Nore's spot, where we find a "Get Naked" CD, a gnome, and Ex-Lax. The chocolate kind.

For the second time ever on this show, it's Gangsta vs. Geek. Knockout Round! Go!

Nore: I thought I knew you somewhere... You're the kid I sponsor for 10 cents a day! You're my son!
Hair Jordan: Unlike Rosa Parks, your mom loves it in the back of the bus.

Best... battle... ever. Winner tonight will be the favorite going into the battle... That would be... Hair Jordan. He's got $1000 and a spot at the Best of the Bronx show.
