We've got Superstars vs. Divas all week long. Round 1: a place where you see a lot of happy men (5). Kennedy fires with a strip club for #1. A sporting event and a bar also make the survey. The Divas try stealing with a car dealership. Nope. Superstars get 72. Other answers: San Francisco (C-Note: .... Oh, now I get it.), Hooters. Round 2: an activity that usually leaves you looking your worst (5). Layla plays sports for #2. Maria gets #4, making relations. Queen Sharmell gets #3, swimming. They guys can take #1 and the bank with "working out"... Number one! They have 105. Other answer: housework. Double: if you got stuck in an elevator, what would you do (full board)? Coach would call for help for #2. Good for control. Booker panics for #1. Rest of the Superstars sweep with hitting the emergency button, sit, pray, and escape for the game, 301-0. Fast Money: King Booker & Mr. Kennedy get 144 for $720, giving them $20,720. In the nightcap, the Hudsons (Lillie, Jazz, Terri, Nia, Camyl) challenge the Davises (Gail, Courtney, Tracy, Tim, Jeff; $20,705). Hudsons lead, 130-125. Triple: someone who wears an apron while working (4). Cook beats waitress, 1 to 2, as Nia gets control. Housekeeper and blacksmith sweep the board for the win, 424-125.

Bunny hops to an Xbox 360 Extra for $500: firecracker that's all sizzle and fizzle (- U -). She loses on DUD. Matt's $600 up, Bunny's $600 down. And also down are these three...
Don spoils Matt for $1000. Matt spoils Bunny for -$100. Bunny comes back with $1000. Matt gets the first Extra of round 2. He rolls the dice for $1000: fountain once loaded with lira (- - E - I). TREVI... will do it for $1100! He also finds the second Extra, betting $800 on this: pipes for Popeye and Mammy Yokum (- - - - C - - -). CORNCOBS does it again for $2600! But here comes Don, taking his $2800. Bunny has half that. Richard spoils Don for $2800. Don spoils back for $3000. Don finds the round 3 Extra. He bets all $3400 on this: ancient adding device (A - - - - -). ABACUS... gives him the doubler for $6800! He wins it, $7000 to $2200. Can he win $5000 more, an Xbox 360, and a trip to Hawaii? No. But what's that when you have $7000? If you think you can be a solver on "Crosswords", then call 323-762-8282. |

Thursday
night, and five of our pros are still in the hunt.
Mike takes the chip lead before Paul goes all-in with Q-5. Mike has 10-8♦. Flop: 8-5-2. Top pair for Mike. Turn: 3♠. River... 3♥. Paul's out in third, and in what may be a portent of things to come, we have the bad boy of High Stakes Poker against the voice of the World Poker Tour going heads up! Mike still has the lead, $86,000 to Jamie's $34,000. Jamie goes all-in with Acey-deucey (A-2♦). Mike's got Q-6. Flop: A-5-Q. Jamie outflops. Turn: J♥. River: K♥. Jamie doubles up to some $54,700. Jamie has K-J, and Mike, with A-7, puts him all-in. Not yet. Jamie has 10-5♦. Mike has 7-5. Flop: J-5-8. Right now, Jamie leads with the high kicker. Turn: 5♠. Still Jamie's lead with that 10. River: 7♠. Mike fills up on the river. Jamie calls all-in, and he's not going to like this one bit. Mike Sexton is this week's WPT... err, PAD champ with $120,000. Six more players next week. Enjoy the Director's Cut tomorrow. |

Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood Air time: Check local listings Host: Meredith Vieira Website: www.millionairetv.com |
||||||
| Alison
McBain (Phoenix, AZ) starts the final day of Grand Giveaway Week at
$2,000, and with 2 lifelines available. Since we didn't have time to find out much about her yesterday, she does mention today that she's actually getting married 5 days after this taping! [$25,000] In 1912, what former U.S. president famously delivered a speech in Milwaukee immediately after being shot in the chest? A: Warren G. Harding B: Woodrow Wilson C: Theodore Roosevelt D: William H. Taft Unsure of this one, Alison calls her fiancé's cousin, Vince. Vince says he's thinking McKinley just as time runs out. Problem is, that's not one of the choices. But it sounded like he was going to say Taft before saying McKinley. Nonetheless, Alison uses the 50:50, which leaves B and C. She'd say C, but she isn't sure enough about it, so she walks with $16,000! Oh, and it is indeed C. After a break, the Radio City Rockettes send their congratulations to Meredith and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for 1,000 shows! Mike Oliver (Barre, MA): He has a cheerleading section in the audience today, consisting of 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and the girlfriend of one of those brothers. Mike is also wearing a shirt that says "Mighty Mike", which his dad gave him. As a reminder, this week, each player (including Mike) gets $1,000 right away, skipping the lower tier. [$4,000] One of the Bible's most famous relics, the Ark of the Covenant was a sacred what? A: Chest B: Crown C: Urn D: Chalice Mike asks the audience, and 68% are saying A. He trusts them... and they're right! [$8,000] In 2007, what singer had roles in the films "Alpha Dog," "Black Snake Moan" and "Shrek the Third"? A: Usher B: Kanye West C: Justin Timberlake D: Nick Lachey Since he doesn't watch movies, Mike calls Joe, who is 100% sure that it's C. Mike goes with that... and Joe is right! After another break, there's another congratulatory message to Meredith for 1,000 shows, this time from the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing of the U.S. Air Force! [$16,000] Central and South America connect at the border between Panama and what country? A: Ecuador B: Colombia C: Peru D: Venezuela Mike believes that C is further south, B is up there, D is to the west, and A is also up there. With that, he uses the 50:50. Guess what? A and B remain. Mike says he's going to guess, then after some thought, he locks in A... but it's B! Darn. That means he leaves with $1,000. There's not enough time for another contestant today, so after the last of the winners in the Grand Giveaway Sweepstakes are announced, it's time to celebrate! And what better way to celebrate than with a cake? Meredith's kids wheel out a cake that is shaped like the Millionaire logo! And just because it's a celebration, there's the confetti! I guess I'll end this recap with a message of my own: Congrats to Meredith Vieira and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for 1,000 shows in syndication! And may the next 1,000 shows be just as great! A list of the Sweepstakes winners announced on this show will be available at www.millionairetv.com. |
