LA County FD (Bill, Hunter, Jayd, Jerry, Robert, Carrie, Doc) for the Red Cross; $20,000

Atlanta FD (Dennis, Cynthia, Dave, Sharyl, Paul) for First Responders Relief Fund

Having just smote FDNY, LA County takes on Hotlanta today. BTW, my friend Virginia, who runs a kennel, would have a fit if I didn't say that we in error called Doc "Jay". Our mistake. Round 1: if women are born to shop, what are men born to do (6). Dennis sports for #2. Cynthia gets her drink on at #3. Dave: "We were born to be lovers." Good for 5. But number one comes from Paul, provide (under work/make money). LA thinks they have the steal from "yard maintenance". Thing again. Atlanta gets 69. Other answer: shop/spend money, sleep/lounge.

Round 2: 100 men, which magazine cover would you like to be asked to pose for (6). Jayd gets the big one, Sports Illustrated. Other nice covers: Playgirl (courtesy Carrie & Doc) and GQ (courtesy Bill & Hunter). Atlanta tries to steal with Time... Good for 107. Other answer: People, Rolling Stone.

Double Round: a state where 100 degree temperatures are common (5). Jerry gets #1, Arizona. That's about right. Also right, Nevada, California, Florida, and Texas for 190.

Triple Round: a circus animal that would be much happier living in the jungle (4). Sharyl hits money with tiger. Elephants, monkeys, and lions sweep it for the Dirty Dirty, 401-190.

Cynthia gets 109 in Fast Money, leaving Dave to get the remaining 91. That's exactly what he does, giving Atlanta $20,000 for First Responders Reflief Fund.

The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

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

Let's get down with a Tuesday at 7800. Here we go.

Contestant David Williams, a 1st Sergeant in the Army although not in uniform, captures a NordicTrack elliptical cross trainer ($1000) AND the $500 stash to play Make Your Move for a CD player/clock radio, a Broyhill Elk River bench, and a 6-night trip to Alaska. Initial setup: 3 1 2 7 9 0 6 2 5. Pretty easy set, right? It was for David. Alaska for $3127, Radio for $90, and bench for $625. Winner #1 right outta the gate.

Next, contestant Shawn Stewart claimed a stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, valued at $1149, and took to the Turntable to play Spelling Bee for a Ford Focus ZX4SE ($17,150). With her free cards (7 & 27), and the one card she earned out of three (#20 with a metal coin bank), she managed to spell a tribute to Credence Clearwater Revival ("C C R"), but not CAR. When the "R" came up under card #7, Bob put it in the "A" spot, and said to the crowd, "Anyone can have trouble with these big words."

Let's try for a winner. Contestant Paul Miller, one of the first four and coming from the far back corner, claimed a set of Hippo his & her golf clubs ($798) following an overbid. His game: Freeze Frame for a Brass Beds of Virginia bed with a Dormia.com sleep set. Unfortunately, Paul froze one frame too early at $3466. Price: $4234.

In the second half, things turned skyward. Contestant Margo Tucker make quick work of Hi Lo after winning a set of SportsStuff towables ($969). She won a Vaughan-Bassett dining room with Formalities dinnerware. Contestant Brian Foster, who in the earlier overbid tried to bid the "lower than" limit of $800, but ended up winning a Couristan area rug to play Switch? for a wagon popcorn machine and a Howard Miller floor clock, set at $3925 and $2940 respectively. Brian switched and won 'em both.

Last but not least, contestant Mike Richmond captured an electric fireplace from Vermont Castings ($999) and played Dice Game for a Chrysler PT Cruiser. His rolls: 3, called higher; 6, called lower; 5 called lower; 4, called higher. You'd think that going against the odds would be a sure loss, especially on the last number, but you would be wrong. Mike called all rolls correct and rounded out a perfect second half.

Now, to the Showcases. Your Top Winner: Overbid Brian. Your Runner-Up: Sgt. David. Showcase #1 gave us some home improvement tips with a set of Worx power tools, a Murray Mosconi pool table, and a pair of Honda CRF 250X motorcycles. Brian passed to David, who bid $12,000.

Showcase #2 starred Lanisha as Mindy the Mooch. The prizes offered were a Sharp Aquos 20" TV, a trip to Hawaii (6 nights @ Hawaii Naniloa), and a 20' Reinell speedboat. Brian's bid was $25,250.

This was a close one. Brian's Showcase ARP: $32,113 for a difference of $6863. David's Showcase ARP: $19,146 for a difference of $7146. Brian wins the photo finish and walks with $40,577 in stuff.

STATS: 4/6; $69,427

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time: Noon ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca

Our first deal for the day features Sonya the Sumo and Uriel the Cowboy. The lovely Elizabeth shows both of them a washer and dryer worth $1,098. Guillermo says that the washer and dryer is both theirs - unless they want the box. Neither of them want the box, and neither of them get a guitar worth $450. Guillermo shows them both what's in his pocket - a case of Derman - and says that they can have that - and adds that there's money inside. That is enough for Sonya and Uriel to go for the Derman, and inside that is....$300, which is a huge step down. Guillermo has one last deal for them - and it's behind Curtain #1. Sonya will trade the money away, but Uriel wants the money. Only Sonya gets a magic Crystal Chasco Ball, but they could have both have had a prize worth more than $1,000. Que lastima.

Santos is dressed in a bear/monkey outfit, and he has the next deal. He gets to select one of the makeup kits in the Bolero de Raquel, and he selects the purple one (leaving the orange one for Guillermo). In the orange one - $100. We will open the purple one - but first he can trade it for curtain #2, which he does. In the purple makeup case - also $100, which means that Santos has a nice deal. How nice? a pair of mini motorcycles worth $1,098! Muy Bueno!

Who wants pie? We have 6 pies up for grabs, and Rosana the beauty queen, Cindy the dolly and Letitia the Belly Dancer will be able to partake the pies. Inside each pie is money - from $10 to $1,000. Rosana takes pie #4, Cynthia wants #6 and Cindy wants #5. Does Rosana want to trade her pie for Curtain #2? Yes she does, and gives up...$1,000! However, instead of a Chasco, she gets a Trip to Palm Springs and a $600 certificate for a total of $1,400! Letitia decides to also give her torte away for a curtain - this time Curtain #1, and this time, she only has $200. Does she get something good? Nooooo - she gets the broom that the wizard with the crystal ball had earlier for a Chasco. Me thinks Guillermo screwed up. Cindy also gives up the pie for the box, and she gives up $300 for it. What does she get? A Pair of bicycles worth $540, which is not a bad deal.

It's time for the Gran Trato! Rosana gives away the trip to Palm Springs and Santos gives up the mini-scooters. Rosana takes Door #3 and Santos takes Door #1 - which we'll look at first, as it's worth $800. Rosana doesn't get the Gran Trato, but she does get a refrigerator, stove and dishwasher combo worth $2,097. That's very nice, but not as nice as what was under Door #2, which is a nice vacation to Cabos San Lucas and a new bedroom set and watches. The total value, which no one will be winning, is $5,161. Will tomorrow's traders do any better? We'll have to tune in and see.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Sherrie Super (Huntsville, AL) is back after only having time to get to $200 yesterday. She'll have lots more time today; let's see how much of it she'll spend here.

Though she's a writer for NASA, she's also a fortune teller. Seriously. She didn't make any predictions for herself, though, but her mother, also a fortune teller, predicted that she'll do really great. I guess we'll see in due time, then. Sherrie resumes by knowing that according to an old-fashioned saying, "Hey is for horses". She moves along well, answering other questions like one that asks during what culinary process are curds and whey created (making cheese), before getting to this $8,000 question...

In the 2005 film "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," a painful chest hair removal procedure causes Andy to yell out what celebrity's name?
A: Ashlee Simpson
B: Kylie Minogue
C: Mandy Moore
D: Kelly Clarkson

Sherrie decides to ask the audience. 51% of the studio audience and 70% of the AIM users say D, so that's what Sherrie goes with... and they're right! Another question later, and she has this for $25,000...

Once known as the "Tears of St. Lawrence," the Perseid meteor shower is visible from Earth during which of these months?
A: February
B: May
C: August
D: November

Sherrie calls a co-worker, Mitzi, who is 100% sure that it's C. She goes ahead and trusts her, going with C... and she has $25,000! Then, after knowing that a friendly "ghost-story" competition initiated by poet Lord Byron resulted in the creation of the fictional character "Frankenstein's monster", she faces this question, worth $100,000...

Tatanka-lyotanka, the famous head chief of the Lakota nation, is better known by what name?
A: Geronimo
B: Sitting Bull
C: Crazy Horse
D: Chief Joseph

Sherrie says that A was an Apache, and that D was a Cherokee. So, after narrowing it down a bit, she uses the 50:50, likely hoping that one of the others would be removed. Guess what? B and D remain. So, though she's starting to doubt what she said about D, she goes with B... and she's right! Then, at the $250,000 level, Sherrie doesn't know what breed of dog won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show a record 13 times (wire fox terrier), so she switches it out for this alternate $250,000 question...

The world's first nuclear reactor was built in 1942 in what unusual location on the University of Chicago campus?
A: Chapel basement
B: Frat house dining hall
C: Ice rink
D: Squash court

Unfortunately, Sherrie doesn't know this one, either, so she walks. Well, her mother said she'd do really great, and since Sherrie is taking home $100,000, I'd say that prediction was right! (BTW, the answer was D.)

Up next is Scott Holbert (San Diego, CA). He's with the Navy, but he hasn't actually been out to sea yet. At the time of this taping, his fiancé is on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, and they plan on getting married soon. Scott begins by knowing that according to popular legend, pirates preferred to dispose of prisoners by making them walk the plank. He then gets through some more questions, like one that asks what ancient Greek school of philosophy lends its name to a word meaning "unaffected by emotion" (stoic), and he gets to $2,000.

That's all for now. Scott will return tomorrow to continue climbing towards the million.
