Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Team Naughty (Lauren Koslow - Days, Jane Elliot - GH, Jess Walton - Y&R, Kimberlin Brown - Y&R, Ronn Moss - B&B) for the American Red Cross; $21,420
Team Nice (Austin Peck - Days, Scott Clifton - GH, Doug Davidson - Y&R, Tracey Bregman - Y&R, Lorenzo Lamas - B&B) for the ASPCA Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund

Team Naughty is three for three. Round 1: a word or phrase that starts with the word "lap" (6). Austin gets #1, lap dance. Other laps: lapdog, laptop, and lap around a pool. Can the Naughties steal with "lap of luxury"? Yes for 88. Other answer: lap it up

Round 2: what part of people's bodies do dogs bit the most (6)? Scott gets #1, legs. Dogs also bite hands, bottom, arms, feet and ankles for the 98-point sweep.

Double Round: if you got stuck in an elevator, what would you do (full board)? Doug gets #3, press the alarm button. Tracey would use the emergency phone, #2. Lorenzo gets #6, try to open the door. Scott gets #1, scream. Doug gets... laparoscopy.. no, wait it out. The Naughties try to steal with cry. Nope. The Naugties get 290. Other answer: pray.

Triple Round: something that makes you dizzy (4). Kimberlin stifles out carousel for #3, while Tracey's alcohol is good for #2. Austin gets #1, spinning around. What's #4? Heights for the steal as the Naughties get 292.

Sudden Death: a woman who probably doesn't return Tom Cruise's phone calls. Lorenzo: "Paris Hilton." That was a dumb answer. Ronn: "Nicole Kidman." That was a smart answer for the win, 538-290

Kimberlin & Jess get only 174 for $870.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Bryan Houlberg, Crystal Swart, Bettye Brown, and Sonja Todd get it started at 33 today. Now for the past two days, we've had nothing but a double overbid. Please don't make it three. We start with a washer/dryer, which goes to Sonja as well as a chance at a Jeep Wrangler in Lucky Seven. We start with a 1. Then she goes with a 7, 5, 4, 5. Actual price: $19,725. That costs her all seven bucks, but she's got the Jeep to take back to Victoria, BC.

Robert Goodwin takes a brief moment to get on stage to meet his hero, then goes back down to bid on an armoire, and then comes back up after he wins it. But can he win a Chevrolet Cobalt playing Pushover? He pushes to $17,187... and that's 2 wins!

Crystal, though, would log the show's first notch in the Loss column, as she wins an acoustic guitar, but can't convert in Barker's Markers. The marked prices are $1580, $1070, and $2725. The prizes are an elliptical trainer, a set of luggage, and a tropical dinette. The dinette is $2725. The luggage is $1070. So is the elliptical trainer $1580 or should she switch it to $2199? She keeps it and her $500 wad... both of which are lost. Another thing lost, a Showcase spot, to Sonja.

Bryan gets his shot on stage with a TV. He goes Grocery shopping for a new living room. The products: Hot Pockets, Bayer aspirin, Bruce's yams, Pine-sol lemon cleaner, and Alka-Seltzer. He takes 8 Hot Pockets for $2.29, one yam for $1.29, and one Alka-Seltzer for... $24.60. Way over $21.

Last of the first-four Bettye wins in round 5 thanks to a chandelier. But can she find the right path of a Ford Mustang? No. But she does win a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" video and Rummikub game.

Finally, Sheryl Magpali wins a man's watch en route to the stage, where she'll try to win ski equipment and a bar set. All she needs to do is place the 1 Right Price of $2910. She goes for the bar set... and we're three for six! But Bryan heads to the Showcase round to face Sonja.

First Showcase: a new bedroom with bedding & mattress, sunscreens, and a spa. Top winner Sonja passes to Bryan, who bids $16,000. Sonja gets a really really bad day, but it could be a good day with a soda fountain, trip to St. Thomas, and a Chrysler Sebring convertible. She bids $17,000. Actual price... $39,568. Well, at least it's not an overbid. Actual price of Bryan's Showcase: $21,737. Bryan's the big winner with $22,486.

Stats: 3 for 6, $70363, and this advice: "Brush, floss, play Plinko."

 
Score by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  4:30p ET/3:30p CT on MTV
Host: Ryan Cabrera
Rocky (21, Tacoma, WA; grocery checker); sax player, loves Usher and considers himself a romantic
Arize (23, Nigeria; guitarist); also loves Usher, influenced by African tradition
Kat (24; Pomona, CA; belly dancer); loves to write poetry, raps, likes "Punk'd"

I can make the obvious Akon joke here, but I'll just shake off a few of Kat's words: Kat, rapper, yoga, and healer. To the winner goes the spoils, in the form of a trip to Puerto Vallarta.

First in the writing room, Arize wants to establish an emotional collection using tropical R&B (see: Shaggy plus Usher plus Ryan). Rocky has no idea what tempo he wants, but he knows that the chorus is vampy. Ryan's notes on Arize: really cool style, will bring something new to the show.

That's switch. Rocky keeps f-ing up, so he says. It's hard to trust lyrics before he writes 'em. Arize has a melody and the first verse. Now he has to control straining. Ryan's notes on Rocky: wasn't expecting an R&B voice out of Rocky, but it works.

Kat shakes it to the screen, while Rocky goes on stage with "Treat You Like a Queen". Definitely Usherish (the fast Usher, not the slower). "I loved the way he talked about my inner and outer beauty."

The crowd liked it, but Arize can do better with "One Day", replete with bongos. "I loved it. I was shaking my hips."

It's always a tough decision, but this time it goes to... Arize.

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 Rhyme Time. Amy is YUMMY IN MY TUMMY. Amy is grad student Amy Landry of Broussard, LA. Monica Cooper-Battle of Moss Point, MO is a public defender. Eric Stelly of Houma, LA is another grad of LSU. $2000 tossup is On the Map. Eric gets CASABLANCA MOROCCO for $2000 and the right to start the prize round with a trip to Paris on the Wheel. Let's go In the Kitchen, shall we? Amy gets $1000 from Red Lobster... and then loses it on Bankrupt. Monica gets $1000 from Harry & David... and wins it by solving SILVERWARE DRAWER. Her take, $1250 total.

The Eggland's Best Jackpot round is On the Menu. And despite the lack of a tone, it's also a Prize Puzzle. Eric spins out $3500 and solves THE PERFECT MARGARITA, and he can get one of those in Mexico! And so can you if you have Spin ID RB 14861.

The Mystery round prize is a heaping plate of money, $10,000 in cash. Before & After, the category. Monica goes on a decent tear before losing it all to a wrong call. Eric also goes on a decent tear before he loses a turn. Amy... spins out Bankrupt. Monica solves SPIDER-MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE for $3900.

The tossup for $3000 are Fun & Games, and Amy solves WATER AEROBICS. She starts out our Living Thing with $5000 for one N. Then we go to the Final Spin with $1900 a consonant. Eric solves A DOG CHASING ITS TAIL for $5700 and the big win with $15,200. Amy goes home with $4000, while Monica takes away $5150.

Bonus Round is a Phrase. After the normal six and CDG A...

Eric doesn't get a FULL-FLAVORED $25,000. Meanwhile, Pat & Vanna go to Muriel's where Eric Benet (no relation to the singer) cooks up some crawfish & tasso stuffed flounder with crawfish butter sauce. Learn how to make it at wheeloffortune.com.

 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Yesterday, Stephen Shively & Tina Berasley (Carmel, NY) made it to the $4,000 level, lifelines intact. As Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week continues, will they be able to go all the way to the million?

On yesterday's show, Meredith noted that Stephen didn't look like he was having fun, but he accounts that to nervousness. Yeah, the hot seat can do that to a person. But then, the pot is stirred a bit, so to speak, as Stephen mentions that he prefers to be quite neat, but Tina doesn't seem to like hangers. Soon enough, they stop talking about that and just continue the game, with this $8,000 question...

Found on divers' watches, a depth meter determines underwater depth by measuring what?
A: Sound waves
B: Water temperature
C: Visible light
D: Water pressure

Stephen & Tina are both leaning towards D, but they're not sure enough, so they ask the audience. 88% of the studio audience and 73% of the AIM users pick D. So the couple goes with that... and they're right! Then, they continue on through a couple more questions, including one which asks what "Ferberizing", a popular though controversial method developed by Dr. Richard Ferber, teaches babies to do (go to sleep), to get to $25,000. After the break, they get the $1,000 gift certificate from Kohl's, which they'll have regardless of what happens, before getting to the $50,000 question, which asks in what country is it customary for brides to place lumps of sugar in their gloves to ensure a "sweet" life. They use the 50:50 to narrow it down to Egypt or Greece, but they're still not sure enough (it's Greece), so they switch it out for this alternate question for $50,000...

In Pamplona's Running of the Bulls festival, how many bulls run the streets each day?
A: 6
B: 10
C: 15
D: 24

Stephen & Tina decide to call Tina's father, John, but the best he could do is a guess that it's either A or B. They then decide to take a guess (nothing to lose at this level), and say B... but it's A! Well, at least they have $25,000 to take home.

The next couple is Cason Moore & Meghan Serkes (New York, NY), and when they get married depends on how they do here, as Meghan puts it. When they met, Cason happened to be down to just 17¢. So he got a job at a restaurant that she happened to work at. And now they're here to try to earn a million dollars. They start by knowing that a traditional wedding vow often features the promise to love one another "in sickness and in health" (it would also help to love one another in football season, but that's another matter). Cason & Meghan move along quite well, going through questions like one which asks what part of the carrot plant is usually eaten (root), before reaching this for $16,000...

Named for the French widow who first produced it, Veuve Clicquot is a popular but pricey brand of what?
A: Chocolate
B: Champagne
C: Cheese
D: Sparkling water

Cason & Meghan ask the audience, and 48% of the studio audience says B, while 45% of the AIM users agree. They go for it and lock in B... and they're up to $16,000!

And there's the horn. Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week will conclude tomorrow, as Cason & Meghan attempt to win more.

Just a reminder that the contest at www.theknot.com/millionaire is still going as of this writing, with a trip to Hawaii on the line. And if you missed it, this is today's sweepstakes question...

What is the name for the porcelain-like icing that is commonly rolled out and draped over wedding cakes?
A: Meringue
B: Buttercream
C: Ganache
D: Fondant
