Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn

FDNY (Mike, Kendall, Mike, Pete, Spencer) for the International Association of Firefighters Disaster Relief Fund; $20,000

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

It's a rematch of Monday's show! But first, Richard is made an honorary member of both the LA County crew and the Bravest football team. Hmm... The Bravest vs. the Finest on the Feud... Note to self, write letter to FMNA. Round 1: something you'd hate to be doing at home when the fire alarm goes off (5). Mike gets #4, having sex, while Bill & Hunter do one worse, eating. Kendall gets #2, sleeping. Pete gets #1, showering. LA County goes on the john for the steal... Count it for 83.

Round 2: something you might forget to put on in the morning and then feel weird all day (7). Kendall gets #2, underwear. Jayd gets #5, socks. Number one comes from Spencer, deodorant. LA County gets Makeup for 151. Other answers: watch/jewelry, belt, false teeth.

Double Round: something might be described as hot (6). Obiovusly, fire is number one for FDNY. A stove, coffee, a woman, the sun, and... soup? Not for LA County; FDNY gets 118. Other answer: tea

Triple Round: something that people hug in bed (4). Carrie & Doc gets #2, their spouse, while Pete gets #1, their pillow. A stuffed animal and a pet do it for FDNY, 415-151, as they avenge their earlier loss.

Capt. Mike and Spencer hope to double their Fast Money take today, but only manage $850 more for $20,850.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Another party at 33 is about to commence, and you're invited. Let's get it started with Leslie Schwartz, Jennifer Anderson-Germaine, Kenneth Baker (Bidder's Row, buddy), Jesse Langston, and a day sailer. Jennifer wins it and a chance at a trip to the TO (that's Toronto to us non-Canadians) playing Check Game. Does Jennifer know how to do it? She does. Doesn't mean she's any good at it, though. She writes the check at $3700. The trip is $4011, and the sum is $7711. Should've aimed lower.

A wine server cart is up for bids in round 2. Jesse takes it and gets to play for $10,000! The game is 1/2 Off. After winning headphones, a karaoke, salt/pepper shakers and a pair of radio binoculars, he's got four boxes to pick from: 4, 7, 10, and 16. He goes for 7... Empty. Should've aimed higher; it was under box #4.

Leslie gets a pair of U2 Edition iPods and a chance at a Ford Mustang playing One Away. The car isn't $32,521. She sets up $23,612. We hear one...two... three honks. She sets up $23,420. Actual price... $21,610. Can't buy a winner this half, but we do have a trip to the Showcase in order for Jesse.

And who'll join her? Margaret Palmer hopes it's her, and she hopes she plays Plinko. She gets two banjos and a chance at a $16,110 Chevrolet Cobalt... and maybe a little cash (but not Plinko cash)... playing Pass the Buck. First pairing: Alka-Seltzer at $4.99 and Hershey's Syrup at $1.25. She passes the buck to the syrup... and she's right! Then comes Bruce's Yams at $1.29 and Sensodyne at $3.79. She passes right again... and is right. She gets three picks, but she'll only use one, with it... $3000.

Laverne Libron-Boyd, who lost her hat en route to Contestant's Row (she got it back, don't worry), gets a grill in round 5. Can she Take Two for a Rascal scooter, a knife set, a gas pump replica, and a sofa? The target: $4718. She takes the scooter at $3198 and the gas pump at $2595. Not right. She'll keep the scooter and take the knives at $1297. Not right either. She should've taken the sofa and the scooter.

Finally, Julia Crane, who dances with some "Dancing with the Moon" dinnerware. But can she convert the first W in Squeeze Play? A Gemcar is hers if she does. The setup, $93,950. She removes the second nine... but she should've removed the only 5! So no outright winner today, but Laverne did take $3000 earlier. That's all she takes, as Margaret takes the second Showcase spot.

First up, who's hungry? Let's go to the TPIR Cafe, where they're serving up a ladies' bracelet watch, a trip to Australia, and a Hi-Lo trailer. Top winner Margaret passes the check to Jesse, who bids $23,500. Margaret, meanwhile, gets a date with Mr. Wrong. She hopes to get four raincoats, a home gym, and a Ford Five Hundred out of this date from hell. She bids $29,000. Actual retail price: $24,053. She's over. Jesse's actual price: $36,683. He's the big winner today with $37,733.

Stats: 0-5-1, $51,012.

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

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

Guillermo's feeling sick to start the show, so he enlists Maria to aid him. He also picks up (another) Maria the Stewardess and Eduardo the Zorro on the way to the first deal. Ana will be aiding everyone - will Ana give Maria $400 or what's in the Vitacilina? Ana gives Maria the Vitacilina - which contains a $700 certificate to Home Depot! Next up - the choice for Eduardo - $400 of the small box? Ana gives Eduardo the $400 - but inside the box was a gift certificate to Benihana and free movies for a year for a total of $1,050. Would either Maria or Eduardo trade what they have for Curtain #2? They both want the Curtain, and they both get Chasco the Magician and his big floppy hat. Guillermo has a deal for Maria the Nurse - take $500 of the Curtain. She takes the money and gives up a New Dishwasher worth $1,185. That's still better than a big
floppy Magician's hat.

Josephina isn't getting a hat. She's getting a picnic basket - or a tomato. One of those items has something good, but the other one has nothing of value. Guillermo will give Elisa $300 to forget the whole thing, but Elisa wants the Tomato. Inside the basket - scarves for a Chasco! Under the Tomato - a $500 certificate to Marshall's!

We get to play Dominoes for the next stunt. One Domino leads to Curtain #3, one leads to a box, and one leads to nothing. Behind the Curtain - a Sofa, a flat screen TV and a beauty kit from Lamas worth $1,949! Brianna the pajama woman picks domino #2, while Maribel, who's playing Cleopatra, selects #3. Guillermo offers both women a bail out - if they don't trust their domino, they can go for the small box. Neither woman wants the small box, and they could have had a mini DVD player worth $399. How did the women do? No one chose the tile that was selected to the box, and inside the box was a washer/dryer worth $1,098. The tile with the goodies belongs to...Brianna! She wins the goodies and Maribel wins nothing.

Someone could win over $5,000 in the Gran Trato. Brianna decides to keep the $1,900+ in goodies, but Maria the Nurse wants a shot, as does Josephina. Maria wants Door #2 and Josephina wants Door #3 - but we see Door #1 first, where a living room set worth $2,481 was waiting for someone. No one gets that, but Josephina gets $850, which is a nice step upwards. Maria gets a huge step upwards, as she wins a trip to Miami and a new kitchen (with Refrigerator, Stove and Dishwasher) for El Gran Trato, worth $5,222. That's 2 in a row. Tune in tomorrow to see if we can end the week with 3.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Yesterday, an excited Brandi White (Tyler, TX) made it to $16,000, but had to use all 3 of her lifelines on the way. How much farther will she be able to go?

Her husband told her to "go big" on the show, and so far, she has. She also has twin daughters, Sadie and Anne, who just turned 5, and we get to see a cute pic of them. Soon enough, Brandi resumes with a question asking what movie Gary Cooper turned down a lead role for, thinking it would be "the biggest flop" in history, and with her guess of Gone With the Wind, she gets $25,000. Then, Meredith comments on how it was like a dumb guess, but after cutting herself off at an interesting time, Brandi says she thinks she was just called a dumbass! This was something that you just had to see. Anyway, at this point, Brandi gets Switch-the-Question, which she uses at the next level due to not knowing that someone who suffers from gamophobia has an exaggerated fear of marriage. As a result, she now faces this for $50,000...

What is the birthday of author J.K. Rowling, as well as her most famous creation, Harry Potter?
A: March 1st
B: July 31st
C: September 25th
D: December 14th

Brandi says that A was jumping out at her, but she doesn't know for sure. So, she decides to guess C... but it's B! Well, Brandi was quite the contestant, and she'll be taking home $25,000!

The next player is Mai Kulkarni (Macon, GA), and her mother encouraged her to try out for the show. Good advice. And now, she's here, and she starts by knowing that Frank Sinatra sang "I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps" in a famous tune about New York City. Mai then gets through more questions, like one that asks what TV series John O'Hurley played catalog mogul J. Peterman on (Seinfeld), before getting to this one for $8,000...

Traditional floor coverings in Japanese houses, tatami mats are primarily made from what material?
A: Bamboo poles
B: Rice paper
C: Silk
D: Straw

The 50:50 leaves A and D. Mai then goes with D... and she's right! Next up is this for $16,000...

A figure skater performs a single axel by jumping into the air and rotating a total of how many degrees?
A: 270
B: 360
C: 540
D: 720

Mai seems sure that it's B, and she goes with that... but it's C! Ouch. Tough break there, as Mai will have to settle for $1,000. [To be honest, I also thought B, but then again, I don't know much about figure skating.]

In comes Matt Harwood (Morrisville, PA) to sit in the hot seat. He actually came all the way from Scotland to be on the show. He had taken the test, then went to Scotland, then came back to take his shot at the million here. And he starts by knowing that the classic toy Slip 'n Slide needs to be hooked up to a garden hose to use. After another few questions, he has this $1,000 question...

Which of these fruits grows on vines?
A: Lemon
B: Banana
C: Pear
D: Cantaloupe

Matt asks the audience. An astounding 92% of the studio audience goes with D, and so does 53% of the AIM users. Matt goes with D... and he has $1,000! Then, on the $2,000 question, he is asked to finish this name of Oprah Winfrey's annual holiday gift show: "Oprah's ________". He believes it is "Wish List"... but it's not! It's "Favorite Things"! At least he had nothing to lose at this point, and he takes home $1,000.

That'll do it for today. A new contestant will begin tomorrow.
