Magic, Chris "CB4" Bosh - Toronto Raptors, Richard
"RJ" Jefferson - New Jersey Nets, David Lee - New

NBA Mothers (Janet
Hill, Sheryl Howard, Freida Bosh, Meekness LeCato,
Susan Lee, Jackie Mobley)
playing for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America |
(C-Note: this is the show that was
supposed to air YESTERDAY).
Giving new meaning to the term
"Family Feud", we have NBA players up against their moms. This is
a six-on-six Feud. I want a good clean match. Let's play!
Round 1: a place where young
couples will neck, but old couples won't (6). Car beats park, 1 to
3. Grant gets control. A drive-in and at the mall follow. The moms
try to steal with the porch... Not there. Ballers have 83. Other
answers: Lover's Lane, beach.
Round 2: a sport when you bend over a lot
(6). Sheryl gets the big one, football. Rest of the moms go bowling. The
players try golf... In the hole for 139. Other answers:
baseball/softball, gymnastics, hockey.
Double: another word for toilet (5).
Chris gets #2, commode. Freida gets #5, the potty. RJ gets the #1, the
john. Going to the mothers with the lavatory... Nope, the guys get 253.
Other answers: can, bathroom.
Triple: something a hardcore football fan
wears to the stadium on game day (4). RJ fires with a jersey for #1. A
foam finger, a hat, and body paint do it for the shutout, 550-0.
Fast Money: Chris & Dwight get 213 for
their first $20,000. That gives them $40,000 for the week.
In the nightcap, the Hudsons (Lillie,
Jazz, Terri, Nia, Camyl; $1635) take on the Bowies from Nashville (Brian,
Natalie, Nerica, Billy, Nina). Hudsons lead, 262-0. Triple: something
you hope a dog hasn't done just before he licks your face (4). Nia gets
licking poop for #3. Billy gets licking himself for #1. Eating follows.
The Hudsons can shut the game out with drinking the toilet water... Got
it for the win, 538-0.
Fast Money: Camyl & Lillie finally break
the mark with 200 for $20,000, giving them $21,635.

Bill is making the opposite of

with in the Crossword Extra. She bets $300 on this: deafening
hullabahoo (- I -). She gets DIN for $900. Bill has -$200.
Time to walk the ramp...
Ngaio Bilum

spy's transgression (- R - - - - -). Missed TREASON, leaving him
$200 down. Eric spoils Bill for -$500. Ngaio spoils John for $700.
John spoils back for $900 and the second Extra. He goes for it.
$1000 on this: places for pirates that can get awfully rough (- E
- -). SEAS is right for $1900! Eric still has -$300.
Ngaio spoils John to start the final
round. John spoils Eric for -$500. Eric spoils Ngaio for $2500. John
bets $2000 on the final Extra: push may come to it (- - - - E). SHOVE is
right for $1900, he's back in this! Ngaio spoils Eric for $2900.
Stephanie spoils for $2300, but it's not enough. Ngaio wins $3100!
Can he win $5000 more, an Xbox 360, and a
trip to Jamaica? He throws a prayer on this with two seconds...
Legendary birthplace of Romulus and Remus, ____ Longa (A - - A).
AREALONGA... Needed to spell it, though. Sorry, Ngaio, but you do have
$3100.

6♦. Ivey fires... and takes $3450.
Up until now, they've been feeling each
other out. But we may have action three-handed here. Flop: 4-K-A, two
clubs. Phil Ivey with A-2♣ has a HUGE advantage here. Gus still has 6s.
Jen has Aces and the best hand. She raises. Ivey reraises. Gus gets out
of the way. Will Jen pull the trigger for all the marbles? Nope. Phil
Ivey wins $18,000.
Chris plays K-10♦
against Ivey's J-9. Flop: 9-K-5♥. Chris has
top pair. Turn: 10♠. Ivey's got a gut shot draw. Chris has two pair. He
raises... and Phil drops out. Chris wins $9700.
Ending the night three handed with this
flop: 4-7-5♣. Phil Hellmuth has a club and paired 9s. Turn:
6♦. Gus isn't ready to give up A-Q. He's
got five outs to win, and three to chop. But both Gus and Howard give it
to Hellmuth for $5900.
More poker action tomorrow.

We're
starting Tuesday with Mona Enos, Gregory McManus, Eileen Stinner, Kathy
Kaufman, and a tockey table worth $1200. Kathy gets her hands on that,
but can she get her hands on a trip to DC and a GPS? Time to get her
hands on the Safe to crack. The numbers in the GPS are 0 4 7. She goes
with $470... Should've gone with $740. Now it's locked in there forever.
James Edelings is down and up thanks to a
$1680 set of crystal stemware. A set of $100 bills could be next... 100
of them, to be exact, in the Grand Game. The target: $6. The Campbell's
cream of mushroom.... $1.07. Kaboom cleaner... $4.69. Maxwell House
coffee... $3.99! James goes for it with OxiClean.... $2.99! That's
$10,000, Carey!
Cruiser bikes worth $1060 go to Eileen,
as she rolls the dice for a Ford Mustang. The first number: 2. The first
roll is 2... She goes higher. The second: 4. Eileen thinks it's lower.
Third and fourth are both 6. Those are givens. Lower, lower! Actual
price... $21,124... Ouch.
James is through to the Showcase, but
will he meet Cynthia Bryan there? She wins a $1149 pair of watches. Now
that she's on stage and in proper footwear, she can go for a $525, a
$930, a $1419, and a $1899.... dinette, popcorn cart, patio heater, and
treadmill. But where do they go? Let's get to Racing! First pass... one
right. Second pass: #$930 dinette... $1419 popcorn cart... $525 patio
heater... $1899 treadmill... all four right!
Gregory scores a $2895 daysailer. Can he
score a baby grand? He plays the Range Game, and stops the rangefinder
not more than five seconds from when he started. Bad move, dude. $9271
is a far cry from the top range of $9129.
Mona has one more chance with a secretary
desk. Actual price: $1045. Winner... Brenda Dennis. Sorry, Mona, but
Brenda's playing for a Dodge Avenger in Cover Up...
6
5 3
4 3 1
6 0 6 0
2 1 8 4 9
3 0 1 2 5
The price is not $12,728. First
Cover-up... $26,861. Only the 2 and the 8 pass muster. Next is $21,849.
That gives us the 1. Next is $21,853... Nope. New numbers? Nope. She
should've gone with $21,830.
Drew helps Brenda to a spot in the
Showcase. First up: a bedroom group with sleep set, a security system,
and a trip to Paris. Top winner James passes to Brenda, who bids
$16,000. James gets to turn. In his package, a stereo, a Donkey Kong/DK
Jr./Mario Bros. 3-in-1 game, and a Chevrolet Corvette. His bid: $28,100.
Actual price: $58,760, a difference of $30,660. Actual price of Brenda's
Showcase... $25,369! She wins it with $9369 difference. Total take for
her: 26,454. |

mentioned Arkansas again. JC leads it with T$35 to Tiffany's T$25 and
Sonji's T$20. He gets this Instant Bargain: a Cappresso coffee maker and
one year of the Coffee Beanery, all for $1565... or T$15 for JC. 14? 13?
12? 11? SOLD! JC's down to 24.

the lead with 40.
Knock-Off: Famous Vegetarians. JC gets
knocked out with Kate Hudson. He's still at 24. Tiffany finds the tenner

then gets knocked out with 44 thanks to Toby Keith. Tiffany runs out
with 64. She gets this Instant Bargain, a trip to New Orleans worth

down to T$49
Speed Round 2: Hero or villain? JD
rallies back to 59, but Tiffany takes the lead with 69. Sonji... still
at 44. Will Tiffany give up T$10 for $5000? Yes. She goes with brown...
JACKPOT! Ten well spent. Next time, we're back to $500.
Final Speed Round: ... it's a good thing
Tiffany took those two prizes, because that's all she's going home with
at 59. Sonji's going home with love and hugs from Rossi and me at 44,
and JC is taking T$89 to Shopper's Paradise!
So far, T$89... Enough for... well,

O'Brien, Garry Shandling, Jenna Elfman, Dennis Miller, Wanda Sykes for

Erin
Vernon

Bridget Blackard

mother-of-one |
Two moms want to go to Hawaii. GSN will
only pay for one of you. Let's start with this... WHAT IS BRITAIN'S
NATIONAL ANTHEM? Erin gets the question... but "God Save the Queen"
eludes her. Bridget gets the first question. The answer is... Odin. WHO
WAS KING OF THE NORSE GODS? Erin gets the fill-in for the 5. She leads,
18-7.
Next up, George C. Scott! He's... not
playing. Bridget is, though. She gets WHO WON AN OSCAR FOR PORTRAYING
PATTON? She sloses the gap, 28-25. Erin still leads.
Next, Neutrogena. WHO MAKES SEE-THROUGH
SOAP? Erin gets it and leads, 38-26.
Round 2, and we have a five-letter answer
on tap. WHAT YELLOW POWDER IS IN INDIAN DISHES? Erin knows it for the
lead, 62-48.
Next answer has two words, five letters a
pop. WHO WROTE THE HIT SONG "JOHNNY BE GOODE"? It wasn't Michael J. Fox
in "Back to the Future." It was Chuck Berry for the win, 80-50.
Erin can turn $500 into $5000 in 80
seconds if she can solve this...
H.T WAT.. .AP.. HAS WHAT .TH.. .A..?
-----
Nothing. It was "Hot water vapor has what
other name?" And the answer... "steam". |

Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire
by Don Harpwood
Air time: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
Website:

TV Week
got off to a great start yesterday! Let's see what today brings...
Tom Merlino (Brooklyn, NY): He watched a lot of TV as a kid; from the
moment he got home from school to the moment he fell asleep, he was
watching TV. It should serve him well here, and this should prove that
that wasn't a waste of time. His father, Joe (in the audience), though,
says, "Let's see if he wins any money first."
He will; Tom sweeps the lower tier (including the TV Theme Song Question
at $1,000). Then, eventually...
[$16,000]
In the first episode of "L.A. Law," what partner in the law firm
McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney & Kuzak turns up dead at his desk?
A: McKenzie
B: Brackman
C: Kuzak
D: Chaney
Tom asks the audience, but the results are close. 34% are saying D, 26%
are saying C, 23% are saying B, and 17% are saying A. He then calls a
former co-worker, Matt, and he's not positive, but he feels good about
D. Tom goes with D... and it's correct! He then gets $25,000, and soon
after that...
[$100,000]
Bravo's acclaimed series "Inside the Actors Studio" made its television
debut in 1994 with what guest?
A: Jessica Lange
B: Paul Newman
C: Robert De Niro
D: Glenn Close
The 50:50 leaves B and D. Tom was leaning towards B, so he goes with
that... and he's right!
[$250,000]
In the "Star Trek" episode "Whom Gods Destroy," Captain Kirk famously
smooches a green alien seductress named what?
A: Elena
B: Marta
C: Sheeda
D: Cheela
Tom wants this question out of his face. After the answer is revealed to
be B, it gets switched out.
[$250,000] (Q)
On a bizarre episode of "Alice," what wealthy character from another TV
show attempts to buy Mel's Diner?
A: Edward Stratton III
B: Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg
C: George Jefferson
D: Bobby Ewing
Tom is nodding, like he knows this. He says B... and he does know this!
It's B!
[$500,000]
The famous "chocolate factory" episode of "I Love Lucy" features Lucy
and Ethel goofing off on the assembly line at what place?
A: Sullivan's Sweet Shoppe
B: Kramer's Kandy Kitchen
C: Buttlebee's BonBon Barn
D: Cog's Confectionary Company
Tom is leaning towards B, but he's not 100% sure. After some
consideration, though, he wants to gamble. But after some more
consideration, Tom walks. As it turns out, he would have been right;
it's B! Nonetheless, Tom still has a lot of money to take home;
$250,000, to be exact!
Robyn Madden (Bayville, NY): After being told that she'll get the
Millionaire DVD game (as well as everyone in the audience, and I'm
assuming Tom gets one as well) just for being there, she gets right to
it.
She only has time to get to $200 today, though, but that's okay; there
will be plenty of time for Robyn to win more tomorrow! |
