Time to put out the flames of this week's competition. Round 1: something a person might be chasing (6). Capt. Mike gets #1, a dog. The rest of the Big Apple gets a bus and a kid. Atlanta tries to steal with a dream. It's good for 57. Other answers: love interest, money

Round 2: if you became a billionaire today, something you would get rid of tomorrow (5). Kendall gets #1, the house. "So you get a billion dollars, and immediately you're homeless." Then comes job, car, bills, and spouse for the 80-point sweep.

Kendall scores top of the board with J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez. A few porn stars later, we go to Atlanta, who thinks about Jenny Jones. Good host. Good PYL player... Good answer? It's TRUE! 243 for them.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Haleigh Cotter and the Contestant's Row. Nice ring to it. She joins Bonita Parker, Peter Hector, and Lenora Pratt in bidding on a game room package with a foosball table, dartboard, and an air hockey table. After Haleigh tries to bid zero (this is relevant), Lenora gets her game on and plays the game of Coming or Going for a trip to Mazatlan. Is she coming at $4052 or going at $2504? She's coming... and she's going... right back into the audience without the trip.

Back to Haleigh for a sec, though. Once she gets a grasp on the rules, she does win a sofa in round 2. Now she goes to punch for $10,000. After she gets a shaver, a sound machine, and an atomic alarm clock, she gets another zero... three of them, picking up $1000. Told you it was relevant.

Bonita Parker scores a computer with printer in round 3, getting a chance at a collection of horror DVDs, a chopper, a karaoke machine... and a Dodge Dakota! The game, of course, is Line'em Up. First number, 2. Last number, 9. The DVDs are $279. The chopper is $18. The karaoke is $739. She lines up $22,839 to start... only one right. She then adjusts to $27,899... total suck-out. It was $22,179. She'd also suck out at the wheel, as Lenora wins the first Showdown round.

Peter Hector of the Airborne drops onto stage thanks to a range. A dining room and hot tub can also be his if he can Pick-a-Pair of products that have the same price. The products: Fisher mixed nuts, Tresemme' conditioner, Gold Bond lotion, Cherryman cherries, Tums, and Jolly Time marshmallow popcorn. He starts with the popcorn and the nuts. The popcorn is $2.29. The nuts... $6.49. One more try. He goes with the popcorn and pairs it with the cherries... and that's a win!

Rosella Lohr wins a luggage set in round 5, and takes it on a Shopping Spree, where she can load up on a safe, home gym, cradle, and a tennis ball machine. The aim: spend $7000. She goes with the safe at $2097, the home gym at $1668, and the cradle at $3375 for win #2!

We can have a perfect second-half if Nathan Jones, who just won a chest, can crack Safe Crackers for a Ford Focus and a weather station. Combination is the same as the weather station. The numbers are 0, 6, and 7. He sets the combination at 760. And the safe... opens! A win for the Navy! But it's the Army who comes out on top as Peter goes on to the Showcase...

... which begins with screens: a three-panel screen, an LCD TV screen, and a Chrysler 300C... with a screen of some sort. Top winner Peter keeps it and bids $22,600. Meanwhile Lenora gets a new dining room with dinnerware, ice cream cakes from Coldstone (yay Coldstone!), and two off-road bikes. Lenora bids $16,800. Actual price: $17,574. Actual price of Peter's Showcase: $44,281. This one goes to Lenora, as she takes home $18,574. But the earlier car win makes Nathan the big winner this day.

Stats: 3-3, $52,041.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Time to cap off another week of Millionaire...

Starting today's episode is Dyan DeCastro (Fairfield, CT). And what does she want to do with her winnings? She wants to "pimp her ride"! In this case, the ride is a minivan. The reason for this is because Dyan's kids want a TV, a DVD player, and some other stuff in the minivan. And they encouraged her to get on this show, so she tried, and now, she's here. And Dyan starts by knowing that according to a well-known saying, "all good things must come to an end". She is moving along quite well, answering questions like one that asks what Looney Tunes character starred in a 1949 Oscar-winning short called "For Scent-Imental Reasons" (Pepé Le Pew). Then, along comes this at the $4,000 level...

A popular Christmas decoration in the Southwest, luminarias traditionally consist of candles placed inside of what?
A: Tin cans
B: Paper bags
C: Straw baskets
D: Bowls of water

Dyan decides to ask the audience, and 71% of the studio audience says B, while 58% of the AIM users also say B. Dyan goes with the consensus and locks in B... and it's B! Next up, this $8,000 question...

In 2005, what MLB team moved to D.C. and became the Washington Nationals?
A: Montreal Expos
B: Milwaukee Brewers
C: Seattle Mariners
D: Kansas City Royals

Dyan calls her "old, old buddy", Renee, who is positive that it's A. So, she goes with that... and she's right! She then has this for $16,000...

In the USDA grading system, the highest quality beef falls into what category?
A: Choice
B: Select
C: Prime
D: Commercial

The 50:50 leaves B and C. But that's not enough for Dyan to answer, so she decides to walk. The answer was C, but she does have $8,000 to go towards making that minivan of hers better for her kids!

Up next is Karen Heussner (Houston, TX). She had a hard time getting from Houston to NYC, because a couple of connecting flights she took to make the trip had each been delayed, causing her to arrive at 4AM. (Good thing this isn't the Amazing Race, then.) And she didn't get a chance to sleep before entering the hot seat here. So, they might as well get going before she suddenly dozes off. Karen begins by knowing that "Ms." is often used instead of "Mrs." or "Miss" to avoid disclosing a woman's marital status. She then continues on through her stack of questions, and on the way, she faces this $8,000 question...

Of the musical syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti, how many also happen to be U.S. state postal abbreviations?
A: 1
B: 2
C: 3
D: 4

Karen goes to the audience for help, and they come through, with 87% of the studio audience and 49% of the AIM users picking B. So, she says B... and they're right! Another question later, and Karen is asked what the seamlike joints between the bones of the skull are called. She considers the options for a bit, before deciding that it's sutures. She locks it in... and she has $25,000!

And the horn goes off, capping off the week. Karen is in good shape to go farther, and next time, we'll see if she will.
