Host: Richard Karn

FDNY (Mike, Kendall, Mike, Spencer, Pete) for the International Association of Firefighters Disaster Relief Fund

Atlanta FD (Dennis, Cynthia, Dave, Sharyl, Paul) for First Responders Relief Fund; $20,000

Before any feuding is done today, Richard is made an honorary fire chief of the city of Atlanta. *applause*. Round 1: 100 women, something you hope your blind date will have (6). Dennis gets #4 from teeth. Good enough to beat Mike's #6, hair. Super Dave wants muscles for #5. Paul gets a nice ride, #3. Dennis gets dough-re-mi, top of the board. One answer left, and Cynthia's got it, manners, for the sweep and 91.

Round 2: something you might slide down (6). Kendall gets #2, the fireman's pole. The other Mike gets #1, a slide, as we slide off a hill, a rail, and stairs. We slide over to Atlanta, who go with ladders. Not there, as FDNY get 92. Other answer: waterfall?

Double Round: something people stretch (5). Dave's body beats Mike's rubber band, 1 to 2. Sharyl goes for elastic. It counts with clothes. Paul gets #3, money. The truth sweeps it for the ATL, which now leads, 283-92.

Triple Round: a televised event that people throw parties to watch (4). Spencer hits the big one, the Super Bowl. The World Series, New Year's Eve... that's it for NY. The family from Atlanta goes with the Final Four. Not there! NY wins, 362-283. Other answer: awards show/Oscars

New York's Bravest take on Fast Money, as Capt. Mike and Spencer get the $20,000 from all five number ones.

The Price is Right by Travis Schario, GSNN

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

This recap is dedicated in loving memory to Ralph Edwards, without whom a young DJ from Darrington, WA wouldn't have the chance to grace our screens for the last 40 years. Here's to you. Now onto the party.

Parker Hackett, Robin Watkins, Stephanie Skelton, and Joseph Nunley are your first-four, and an HDTV is your first prize, as Bob enters from the audience. Must be hiding something big on stage. How about 3 Strikes? Stephanie takes the TV and the chance at a Cadillac DeVille. The numbers are 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. First pull... steeeee-rike! Not until pulls four and five do we realize that we're playing for a $46,000+ Caddy! Then comes pull seven... steeeeee-rike two! Four more pulls.... and Stephanie joins the Travis' Cadillac Club, pulling a $46,395 whip out the lot at 33.

The baseball theme continues with a lounge chair shaped like a mitt. Joseph picks that up as well as a chance to do a bit of traveling to Atlanta, Boston, and Chicago. Atlanta's marked at $4055. Boston's marked at $3783. Chicago's marked at $3108. If you can believe it, one of them is wrong. Joseph thinks it's the trip to Boston. The trip to Beantown is... $3783. Atlanta's price was off.

A necklace, bangle, and ring combo goes to David Cockrell, Jr., who gets to play for $10,000 in the Grand Game. The target: $4 even. The products: Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, Glad trash bags, Hot Pockets, Hunt's diced tomatoes, Lemon-Lime Airborne, and Super Poli-grip. He goes for the pies... $1.39. Next up, the Hot Pockets... $2.29. Next up, the tomatoes... just shy of a buck. Will he take the $1000? Nope. He's going for it with the trash bags... $4.49. Should've taken the Poli-grip. No money for him, but $1000 for Joseph, as he spins out a buck in the Showdown.

Parker takes some snowshoe equipment in round 4, but he'd rather have a trailer in Double Prices. The Double Prices are $8521 and $7039. He goes for $7039... and he's got a trailer!

A washer/dryer goes to Dean Christofilos, who doesn't last long in Contestant's Row. Bob gives him a pancake maker, a CD/clock radio, an electric toothbrush, and an espresso maker. But what Dean REALLY wants is a Chevrolet Equinox on a really big turntable... That's new. His game is Switcheroo. Numbers: 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9. First 30... nothing. Second 30... Three. He gets the espresso maker... the radio.... and the pancake maker. The 9 went with the car.

Shoshanna Liebovitz wins a telescope. Too bad she couldn't use that in Magic #. She sets it at 885. The pool table is WAY over at $3000. The crystal stemware was... $1200. Also over. Her two spins in the Showdown... over. Dean takes the second spot.

First Showcase gives us a living room with carpeting, an upright piano, and a hot tub. Top winner Joseph passes to Dean, who bids $14,000. Dean tears into some fortune cookies. In them we find a treadmill, a trampoline, and a Chevrolet Impala. His bid: $24,000. Actual price: $26,712. Actual price of Joseph's Showcase: $16,234. Another close one, but it goes to Joseph, who takes away $17,383. Pales in comparison to Stephanie's earlier win, but hey, a win's a win.

Stats: 2 for 6, $78,583.

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

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

Guillermo starts off with the cats in the hat - Ana and Eduardo. They get $50, but they can turn it into a new Chrysler PT Cruiser worth $15,995. The game is switching prices, as we have Ajax, DuraMax Light Bulbs, Old English Furniture Polish and Rain-x Car Wax. The couples have to rearrange the prices, and if they get them all right, they win the car. We start with the Ajax and a $7.90 price. He changes it to...$0.97. The DuraMax, which was $4.41, is now $1.44. The Old English, which was $6.39, is now $3.69, and the Rain-x, which was $4.37, is now $3.74.

Are they right? The audience doesn't think so, but Guillermo will give them $300 if they are right on the Ajax - and they are! $300 more if they get the Light Bulbs right - and they do for $300 more. Those 2 were pretty easy, but now we get harder. Is the Old English $3.69? No ($3.96) and no car for them. They can still get another $300 if the Rain-x is $3.74, but it's $3.47 and that's all they are getting...

...or is it? The couple can spend their $650 on the curtain, but they don't and they give up...ANOTHER NEW CAR! This one is a Ford worth $14,920. Ouch! But they still have $650 and they are happy.

Rafael is happy that he is selected, and he is the proud owner of a honey bear doll. What's in the honey jar? He can find out - or he can go for Curtain #3 instead. He wants the bear, and he passes on a big stuffed bee with a mini swimming pool for a honey of a Chasco! Inside the jar of some honey is a nice wad of money - $600 for Rafael!

The next game comprises of 2 people - Artemio the human newspaper and Ana the love child. Artemio is given an explorers hat, which he can keep - or give up for the small box. He keeps the hat and Ana gets the small box, which Guillermo wants to buy back for $300. Ana takes the money, but she could have had 2 nice watches worth $750. Artemio is offered Curtain #2, and he takes it, but inside the hat was $800. That was nice. What's behind the curtain is not so nice - it's an even bigger be sitting on a fluffy bee throne for a stinging Chasco! That, unfortunately, now belongs to Artemio.

The Gran Trato can belong to either Ana/Eduardo or Rafael. The couple wants Door #2 while Rafael selects Door #3. Neither selects door #1, which means that they both give up a trip to Cancun worth $2,400. One of them is getting the Gran Trato, but it's not Rafael, who gets $800. The couple gets a new kitchen, complete with cookware, dinette set, stove, dishwasher, china and baker's rack, a total of $5,136. The Cats in the Hat enjoy the happy ending. Tune in tomorrow for a new story.

We all knew it was PEACH. But it wasn't food, it was a drink. PEACH DAIQUIRI to be precise. And she didn't drive off in a new 2006 Chrysler Crossfire. And as we leave, we see how seafood gumbo is made at the Monteleone Hotel.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Yesterday, we had a $100,000 winner, then Scott Holbert (San Diego, CA) got to $2,000. How will he fare today?

Apparently, one of Scott's life goals was to sit across from Meredith. Well, that's taken care of now. Now let's see what he can do while still sitting there, as he resumes with this question for $4,000...

A popular menu item, pasta e fagioli is a type of what?
A: Sandwich
B: Soup
C: Salad
D: Casserole

Scott decides to ask the audience. 71% of the studio audience says B, while 21% says D. But the AIM poll sees 49% saying D, with 28% saying B. Oh, boy. Well, Scott then decides to go with the studio audience, and says B... and he's right! He then uses the 50:50 to help deduce that according to a 2005 Vanity Fair interview, Martha Stewart's prison nickname is M. Diddy (though Scott admitted that he hates Martha). Then, after another question, Scott goes for $25,000 with this...

Who was emperor of Rome when the year turned from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D.?
A: Claudius
B: Caligula
C: Augustus
D: Nero

Scott wants to call a brother-in-law of a friend, David Rose, whom he actually had never met in person before. David can only manage a total guess, and says D. But once the call is done, Scott says that he thinks David is wrong. So, after saying that when gambling, he's good at losing a lot of money, Scott gambles, and goes with C... and he's not losing money this time! He has $25,000! Then, after not knowing what state the famously kitschy tourist trap Wall Drug is in (South Dakota), he switches out for this $50,000 question...

The wheel used on the popular game show "Wheel of Fortune" consists of how many individual spaces?
A: 24
B: 28
C: 32
D: 36

Scott decides to go ahead and guess C... but it's A! Oh well; at least he didn't lose any money, and he's going home with $25,000!

Next up: Brandi White (Tyler, TX). She seems really excited. And I do mean REALLY EXCITED. So, after she tries to calm down a bit, they get right to it with her knowing that in Christianity, Adam and Eve's eating of the forbidden fruit is usually referred to as the "original sin". Brandi then proceeds through a bunch more questions, and at the $8,000 level, she asks the audience since she doesn't know which common drugstore product has the active ingredient aluminum salt. She faces a situation similar to what Scott faced earlier in the show, as the studio audience favours antiperspirants (with 77%), but the AIM poll favours teeth whiteners (with 34%). And just like Scott did earlier, Brandi goes with the studio audience, who is again right. Then, along comes this for $16,000...

In China, what color is traditionally worn at funerals as a symbol of mourning?
A: White
B: Red
C: Green
D: Blue

Brandi calls her friend, Tom, but he doesn't know. She then says she wants to phone another friend. Heh. So, she uses the 50:50, leaving A and D. She then decides to just go for it, and says A... and she is at $16,000!

And there's the horn. She may be out of lifelines for at least the next question, but Brandi will be back tomorrow to go for more money.
