  Returning champions the Franchina family are still without luck in Fast Money, but they hope they try again if they win against the Barnhill family.

SINGLE: something you put on ice cream, that lovers might put on each other.
1. Whipped cream 46      5. Caramel 2
2. Chocolate/Syrup 45
3. Strawberries/sauce 3
4. My mouth 3


SINGLE: 100 single men: what would you talk about if you were on a date with a Playboy playmate?
1. Her/Her job 33        5. Playboy mansion 4
2. Making love 25
3. Real/Implants? 23
4. Hugh Hefner 5


DOUBLE: something you wipe off after you use it. (Neither family came up with the #1 answer.)
1. Knife 18              5. My mouth 4
2. Countertop 15         6. Lipstick/Makeup 4
3. My pooper 7           7. Wax/Polish 4

TRIPLE: something you buy in a tube.
1. Toothpaste 82
2. Lube/K-Y 5
3. Hair gel 3
4. Glue 3


The Franchinas had a good chance to steal and force sudden death after only the #1 answer was given in the final survey, but ointment was not among the other three, making the Barnhills taking over as champions.

Brenda & Chris play Fast Money. Brenda had one light answer, and the rest were good ones, giving her 124. Chris managed to finish it on his third answer, to win themselves their $20,000.

Fast Money #1 answers
- An occasion for which a woman would buy some sexy lingerie: Anniversary (Brenda)
- Something people push that has wheels: Shopping cart/Cart (Chris)
- Something people do while watching a really scary movie: Scream (Chris)
- How many years younger than you really are do you think you look?: 5 years (Chris)
- A reptile people keep as a pet: Snake (Brenda)

 

In the nightcap, returning champions the Newkirk family can win a new Ford if they can beat the McCrary family.

The Newkirks have done it getting control on the last survey and making a easy clean sweep naming some information the office gossip wants to know, which were dating/affairs, who's leaving/fired, coworker's salary and who's hire/boss.

Kristy & Dee Ann play Fast Money for the last time. Kristy did a good job with her answers, getting 121. Dee Ann had a slow start with the first three answer, and it all came down to the last answer and her answer 7 fell short. But they are driving back to Kansas City, KS with a new car and a five-day total of $42,510.

Time to close the book on this week with Alejandro Izquierdo, Carrie Hamley, Willie Moore, Valeria Vallejo, and a coffee maker package. With pods, it comes to $603, and it goes to Carrie. Speaking of Coming or Going, that's what we're playing for a trip to Italy. Is it $7909 or $9097? She comes to the former... wrong direction.

Alejandro wins a $538 New iPad with a shot at a Jeep Wrangler Sport in the wings. Let's roll the dice, shall we? He rolls 3, 2, 1, and 2, He guesses exact, higher, exact, and higher. The price: $23,416!

Eric Martin goes up with a $1230 bass guitar. Now for some even cooler licks. It's time for PLINKO TIME! With chips from Drew and a $30 fortune cookie maker, he wins $1000.

Alejandro loses the Showdown Spinoff to Carrie, 75-65. Valeria keeps us going with a $1010 kayak. Can she Step Up to a dishwasher, a PC, a grill, and designer accessories? Computer... $1770. Accessories... $2350! She stops with those and $500. Good thing, because the dishwasher was $699.

Jack Mackley goes down and up thanks to a $690 pair of GPSes. We can use that with a Honda Civic if Jack wins at Checkout. He prices Bruce's yams, Kraft Singles, Quaker instant oatmeal, Wesson canola oil, and Minute Rice at $13.72. Actual total... $20.95.

Last shot at greatness for Willie comes with a HDTV. The price: $699. Winner... WILLIE! Next is a shower and a treadmill in Double Cross.

SHOWER    8 5 2   9 9 6
                4
TREADMILL 3 2 1   7 5 0

He slides the shower to $5247 and the treadmill to $1499... THAT'S A WIN! He's also a winner at the Big Wheel.

First up, a camera package, a trip to Cancun, and a Chevrolet Equinox. Topper Willie bids $28,500. Carrie gets a load of iPods, a trip to Japan, and a motorcycle. She bids $20,500. Actual price: $26,715, a difference of $6215. Actual price of Willie's Showcase... $38,468, a difference of $9968. So it's all gravy for Carrie, who takes $27,318.

It's a shopping spree from Sears worth $7,500! It's BEFORE & AFTER. They hit Lose A Turn. Sean/Valerie hit a $500 Jackpot H but don't solve. They pick up the $1,000 Shark Online Shopping Spree and solve PRESIDENTIAL SEAL THE DEAL for a total of $4,100! They have $5,100 in cash and prizes!

They also start the $10,000 Mystery Round which is FOOD & DRINK. They risk $2,900 for a shot at $10,000...and get it! But they lose it and $950 on Bankrupt. OUCH. Shawnita/Tamica hit 2 $500 Free Play N'S but miss after filling in most of the puzzle. Lori/Martin solve OPEN-FACED ROAST BEEF SANDWICH for the $2,000 House Minimum. They have $4,000.

Tonight's Classic Puzzle is from 2001 : PHRASE

See the end of the recap for the solution!

Shawnita/Tamica start the Prize Puzzle round which is WHAT ARE YOU DOING? After a bunch of work, they lose $2,250 on Bankrupt. Lori/Martin get $1,000 with 2 R's and the WC! They hit 3 $3,500 C's, use the Wild Card and add $3,500 more with a P. But they lose all that cash on Bankrupt. Sean/Valerie solve SOAKING IN THE SPECTACULAR SCENERY for no cash, but a trip to Jamaica at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Montego Bay with Hotwire.com travel! It's worth $10,400! They have $15,500 in cash and prizes!

The $3,000 Tossup is PLACE. Sean/Valerie are up to $18,500 with RECRUITING OFFICE. We go right into a FINAL SPIN worth $1,700 for OCCUPATION.

  Scott Green (Chicago, IL) has made $31,600 magically appear. He'll find himself in round 2 if he can answer one more question worth $25,000 with no lifelines.

[Q10 - Presumed Existence] ($25,000)
Before it was colonized, 17th century cartographers used the Latin term for "southern" to name what continent
A: Africa
B: Australia

D: Wearing hats

After much hemming and hawing, Scott decides to take the $56,600. The answer: D.

[$100,000]
Which of these units of time is the shortest?
A: Picosecond
B: Microsecond
C: Femtosecond
D: Nanosecond

It's C. But does Kari know that? She doesn't, so she walks away with the $52,600! She would've gotten it had she guessed. She said D.
