Host: Richard Karn

Team Naughty (Jane Elliot - GH, Jess Walton - Y&R, Kimberlin Brown - Y&R, Ronn Moss - B&B, Lauren Koslow - Days) for AmeriCares; $22,290

Team Nice (Scott Clifton - GH, Doug Davidson - Y&R, Tracey Bregman - Y&R, Lorenzo Lamas - B&B, Austin Peck - Days) for the Institute for Professional Parenting

Team Naughty is just owning the Nice Guys, and they're one win away from taking the entire week. Round 1: something that's perfectly okay to beat (5). Scott beats eggs for #1. You can also beat a drum and an opponent. The Naughties beat the odds for the steal. Not there, and the Nice scores 63. Other answers: rug, pillow

Round 2: someone famous with Martin in their name (6). Jess gets #4, Martin Sheen. Doug: "Billy Martin." Don't be so stupid, Doug. The Naughties also lay claim to Steve Martin, Martin Lawrence, Martin Luther King, and the number one, Dean Martin. The Nice Guys go with Martin Luther... Not there, they Naughties get 85. Other answer: Ricky Martin.

Double Round: a part of the body that most of the people never get sunburned (full board)? Tracey goes for the butt.. number one! We also get the bottoms of your feet, the "family jewels", the breasts, and the inside of your nose. Guess which one doesn't make it. The Naughties steal with armpits, giving them 253. Other answer: head/scalp

Triple Round: something about a person that would make you give up your seat on a bus (4). Ronn gets #1, elderly. Disabled's also there... Pregnant's there. It's the last chance for the Nice Guys... They go with "large packages". NOT THERE! The Naughties sweep the week. Final score: 532-63. Other answer: B.O.

And Scott is just... crazy. Crazy, man...

Lauren & Ronn try for the Fast Money... Lauren gets 136. Ronn gets... the rest. They pick up another $20,000, giving them $42,290 for the week. And don't cry for the Nice Guys, though. They get $5000 for their charities. And we're done for fun this week. Next week? Who knows?

The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

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

Happy Vet's Day out there in game show land! Here's the Friday happenings at 7800.

Let's kick things off with...an overbid? Yes, all four of the first four contestants overbid on a Comfort Line Spa-In-A-Box, including one bid of $5000. After the bids were erased, contestant Dawn Wildban captured the $1499 spa and took the stage to Crack a giant Safe. Her prize package was one of few that actually worked together: a 47" LCD TV and a home theater system, totaling $4149. Combination of the safe same as the price of the home theater system, which was $950. With no hesitation at all, Dawn dialed up the combo and walked away with the technological loot.

With such an excellent win, we gotta keep things rolling. Contestant Angela Nebius claimed a selection of "fun family games", worth $805. Her game: It's In The Bag. Her groceries: Jolly Time Mallow Magic popcorn, Citrucel fiber, Hunt's diced tomatoes, Clorox Bath Wand, Alka Seltzer, and General Foods French Vanilla Cafe. With some help from the audience, albeit not all that much, she swept the board and won the $16 Large by hitting the last button herself.

How could things improve? Oh, that's right. Haven't offered a car yet. Contestant Jason Denlinger claimed a Storywheels charm necklace, valued at $1165, and ascended to the stage to play Dice Game for a Ford Focus ZX3SE. His rolls weren't all that bad: 1, 3, 2, 3. Only snags were the first 3, called higher, was 2; the 2, called higher, was 1. Two horribly painful mistakes for an exceedingly hurtful loss.

Alright, let's gather our wits about us and make a sprint for the Showcases, picking up wins along the way. Contestant Andrea Mina (who bid $5000 on the spa) captured a pair of Nirve bikes, valued at $790, to play Double Prices for a trip to Hong Kong. $3228 or $2491? No problem for Andrea. $3228 and a win.

Contestant James Johnson, a Vietnam Vet who looks like Santa, claimed a pair of Pawley's Island rope chairs (along with a picture frame set from Level Line) worth $507. Oh, this can't be good. Bob walked to the right side of door #2 for the second time this show. That could only mean...Five Price Tags for a Chevy Cobalt. The tags: $21,498, $23,885, $22,985, $24,215, $25,904. After calling False on all four swag prizes (and only winning the last two; a Binocuradio and a touch-screen chess set), James picked $23,885...NO...$22,985...WIN! Whew! Snatched victory from the claws of defeat!

Let's wrap things up on a high note. Contestant Ashley Davenport picked up his and her tennis equipment worth $838 to play Danger Price for a collection of power tools, two Deering banjos, a Little Miss Liberty heart-shaped crib, and a Vision Fitness air bike. DP today is $2069. She picked, in order, the banjos, the bike, and the power tools to sweep the game and picking up $4282 in stuff.

We made it thru the game gauntlet 5 outta 6, so let's move to the Showcases. Miss "IITB" Angela is our top winner, and Miss "Drastic Overbid" is our runner-up after winning a cool grand on the Big Wheel. Our first Showcase is a tour of the seasons. For Summer, 3 pair of Dan Deutsch sunglasses. For Fall, a Malm cone fireplace. For Winter, The Simpsons Pinball Party machine. For Spring, a Dodge Ram 1500 ST. Angela PASSES (?!) to Andrea, who bid $24,000

Showcase #2 gave us some lesser-known help lines. 1-555-XSPOUSE gave us Coleman camping equipment, 1-555-GOBROKE offered a 5-night trip to Vegas, and 1-555-WOOOOZY showed a Westwhite 19' sailboat. Angela's bid was $19,500.

Andrea's bid was good, only $5315 off (ARP: $29,315). But, Angela's bid was sooo much better, only $1137 off (ARP: $20,637). Angela's total take: $37,442.

STATS: 5/6; $78,055

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 wrapping up "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 $1000 Tossup is a Title. GREEN EGGS AND HAM is money for special ed teacher Michelle Luke of Houma, LA. Competing against her are nursing student Andranecia Cox from N'awlins and waste-water plant operator John Cooper of Robertsdale, AL. Time to tossup for $2000. We go in the kitchen, and John finds a SPICE RACK. He spins first for a trip to Chicago. It's Things... and it's a Prize Puzzle. John picks up $1000 from Cooking.com. He'll pick that up with a little cash on the side, $2150, for FRUITY UMBRELLA DRINKS. He'll enjoy that on a Caribbean cruise! And if you're Spin ID TC 02528, then you're on your way to the Caribbean! Arrrr...

The Eggland's Best Jackpot round is Same Name. Michelle controls the Wheel for a great deal of the round, getting $1000 from Cajunshop.com, buying up all of those vowels, and solving LOUISIANA & PROOF OF PURCHASE for $2200, $4200 total.

The Mystery Round... It's all ($10,000) or nothing! We're dealing with the menu here. John lands in Mystery Territory, and collects $2000 from two R's. But will he take the option? If he does, he's not going to like it. He does... He doesn't like it. Michelle picks up $1000 from Brennan's Restaurant. But she loses a turn. Andranecia goes for it! "WARM FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE!" She's got $1150.

The tossup for $3000 are Fun & Games, and Michelle gets $3000 from RELAY RACES. Category is PHRASE, and Pat spins out $1600 for every consonant. Andranecia solves I'LL START MY DIET TOMORROW for $4800. That gives her $5950 total. That gives Michelle $7200 total. That gives John the big win with $10,510 in cash and trip!

But first, a trip to the Bonus Wheel. We're going for Things. After the normal six and DCM I, we get...

_ _ N _ E R
_ _ N _ S

No love. He feels some HUNGER PANGS after missing out on $25,000, but hey, $10,510 ain't hay. Paul Prudhomme himself guides us through his kitchen at K-Paul's, now open for business. To learn how to make his blackened prime rib, go to wheeloffortune.com. Next week, the party in N'awlins continues.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

It's the last day of Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week, and Cason Moore & Meghan Serkes (New York, NY) are back after having reached $16,000 yesterday. And you can bet that they want more.

When they got to the $16,000 level yesterday, Cason said to Meghan that they could now have the wedding. Hey, as long as they don't get the $25,000 question wrong... Speaking of which, they resume the game with that question, and it is as follows...

With United Flight 869, U.S. commercial flights resumed to what country in 2004 after a break of 29 years?
A: Iran
B: Libya
C: Cuba
D: Vietnam

Cason & Meghan have no idea, so they call Meghan's brother-in-law, Andy, who is 75% sure that it's D. Then, they decide to be extra cautious, and use the 50:50, which leaves C and D. With that, they go with D... and Meredith hands them the $1,000 check. But only to tear it up, because they have $25,000! Then, after not knowing that a scratch & sniff sticker makes use of a technological process called microencapsulation, Cason & Meghan switch out that $50,000 question for one that asks what Native American's giant granite-carved monument lies 17 miles from Mt. Rushmore. Cason is 64½% sure that it's Crazy Horse, so they go for it... and they're right! But since they don't know what company is the longest continuously-serving Olympics sponsor starting with the 1928 Olympics (Coca-Cola), they walk. As a result, they have $50,000 for their wedding!

Next up are Donnie Mulkey & Christie Shepherd (Chattanooga, TN), who seem really excited. They plan to have their wedding in Tennessee, unless they win a lot of money. Then it's at Disneyland. So, they start by knowing that at wedding receptions, waiters serving wine traditionally ask guests "Red or white?" (it's usually a bad sign if they instead ask "Your place or mine?"). Donnie & Christie continue through some more questions, such as one that asks what establishment usually displays a neon sign that flashes the message "Hot Doughnuts Now" (Krispy Kreme), before getting to this for $4,000...

In 2005, a couple was fined 1,000 rupees for indecency when they kissed at their wedding in what country?
A: Poland
B: Turkey
C: India
D: Egypt

Donnie & Christie ask the audience, and 88% of the studio audience picks C, while 52% of the AIM users pick C as well. They go with that... and they're right! They then get the usual $1,000 gift certificate from Kohl's after a break (I'm sure the previous couple will get one as well, though it wasn't mentioned when they were in the double hot seat). Another question later, and they face this for $16,000...

What small U.S. city is home to the world-famous Mayo Clinic, a facility that treats over 1 million patients each year?
A: Durham, NC
B: Rochester, MN
C: Santa Fe, NM
D: St. Joseph, MO

Donnie & Christie decide to call a friend of Christie's father's, Paul, who is pretty sure that it's D. Just to be sure, though, they then use the 50:50. Guess what? It leaves A and B. Paul's guess is gone! Tough break for Donnie & Christie, but they decide to just go for it and guess B... and it's B! They then make it to $25,000, but at the $50,000 level, they don't know what nation is the world's top tourist destination according to the World Tourism Organization (France), so they switch out for a question that asks what branch of the military maintains the Master Clock, which keeps the official time for the U.S. They take a guess (nothing to lose at this point) and go with the Air Force... but it's the Navy! Well, at least they have the $25,000!

And that wraps up Play To Pay For Your Wedding Week. Six couples have made plenty of money this week, with the lowest amount being $16,000, and the highest amount being $100,000! In the meantime, it looks like it'll be back to business as usual next week.

Now, by the time this recap is up on GSNN, The Knot's week-long sweepstakes for a trip to Hawaii is over, but if you missed it, or you're just wondering, here's the last of the contest's questions...

At a traditional Italian wedding, how many Jordan almonds are given to each guest as a wedding favor?
A: Two
B: Five
C: Eight
D: Twelve
