Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Letzer (Aidan, Thad, Devin, Rivata, Briana); $21,375, two days

Avila (Shellie, Mario, Cristina, Carmen, John)

The Thanksgiving leftovers are beginning to take their toll. Let's see if it affects their Black Friday game any. Round 1: something a cow might be doing that might make it a bad time to milk her (5). Shellie fires with #1, eating (or grazing). The rest of the family gets birthing, "going potty", mating, and sleeping for the 95-point sweep.

Round 2: an announcement you made that startled your parents (6). Thad gets married for 2. Mario hits the top with a baby for #1. Cristina: "I'm gay." Richard: "And I'm having a baby." It's #5. Other announcements: "I'm dropping out of school" and "I'm moving out." The Letzers hope a car accident will do it... Nope! The Avilas get 181. Other answer: joined military.

Double Round: when you think of a country-western music legend, what singer comes to mind (full board)? Devin gets Garth Brooks for #2, and Cristina clears 4 with Willie Nelson. Rivata says Jimmy Cash (D'oh!), but Briana tries the Man in Black for #1. The Avilas try to steal with Loretta Lynn... the coal miner's daughter... Not there! Other answers: Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw (said). The Avilas still lead it, 181-74.

Triple Round: the name of a country that has exactly four letters (4). Peru's good for 3, as the Avilas get control. John gets #1, Iraq. Shellie goes with Iran for #2. The Letzers try Cuba for the game... Got it! Letzers win, 332-181.

Thad and Devin return to the Fast Money fold after a heart-wrenching loss on Day 1. Devin sets them up for maybe another one, only getting 30. They even it out at 100 for another $500, a four-day total of $21,875.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Bill MacDonald (attorney from Bonita Springs, FL); $53,798, three days

Robert J. Lee (attorney from Seattle)

Pat Godwin (reference assistant from Clemson, SC)

This is the second GSC game, but ABC11 had to preempt it for football, so we're going to our friends at the J! message board at jeopardy.com.

Hot lawyer on lawyer action as Bill starts it off with $200 Stephen King Books, finding the Daily Double under $800. Only $800 into the fold, Bill goes for the max of $1000. The clue: Chapter 1 of this novel says, "This here is the best car I ever owned". "What is 'Christine'?" That's right for $1800. And he'll turn that into $6400, while Pat has $2800. Meanwhile, Robert at $2400 will start Double Jeopardy!, while Jason and I stop slapping each other's knees for a moment.

... Onto the Double Jeopardy! round with $400 The "L" It Is!. First Daily Double goes to Bill in $800 It's In the Cards. He bets $4000, a huge gamble for the gamblin' man. So what's between a nonstraight flush & 4 of a kind? "What is a full house?" Got it for $15,600. Second Daily Double goes to Bill in $1600 Down to Earth. Another big bet with $9000 of his $17,200, while the other players have around $4000... The clue: "Cast" in the role of the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, it's atomic number is 26. "What is silicon?" "Cast" was important, as in "cast" iron, leaving Bill a bit rusty with $8200. Bill rebounds nicely with $15,000, but with Robert at $10,000 and Pat at $8000, this is no longer a runaway.

Final Jeopardy! in "Company Origins": This company's namesake founder, the son of German immigrants, sold pickles to Pittsburgh grocers. Correct question: What is Heinz?

Only Bill is right, and only Bill would return, Today, he makes $21,601 for a four-day total of $75,399. Can he make himself six digits? Tune in Monday...

Once again, thanks to Robert at J-archive.com for the help.

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

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

Did you fill your gizzard last night? Well, Guillermo wants to fill up some people's wallets today - like Esterina and Alicia, who join Guillermo to look in some bags - purple, green, pink and blue. Each bag has money in it, but the bag with $1 will also net you an Ashley Furniture Dinette Set worth $1,952! Estherina takes the blue one, while Alicia grabs the pink one. Esterina gets an offer fur a curtain - and takes it, giving up $300. Instead, she gets a trip to the Chasco Barbershop, complete with wacky wig and extra large scissors. Before we see Alicia's bag, we open up the green one to see another $300. Will Alicia trade for the box? She won't, and she gives up a washer and dryer worth $1,098. Did she win the dinette instead? No - the purple purse has the $1, but she does get a consolation prize of $500, which is better than the Chasco Barber Shop.

Eric is a joker today - and he trades his jester's hat for $100. He can take the $100 and win a nice lawn mower and cabinet set worth $797 - if he can call heads or tails (or in this case Trato Hecho Logo or Super Pollo) on the big coin. He goes for the logo...and he hits it! No Super Pollo for him, as he wins the nice lawn equipment.

Anyone up for the Wheel of Money? Gerardo the hippie and Miguel the scholar certainly are, as they get to spin a wheel with money values from $100 to $1,000. Gerardo, however gets an offer to take some Vitacilina and skip spinning the Wheel altogether. He takes the Vitacilina. Before we find out what's in there, Miguel gets a buyout offer in the form of what's in Guillermo's pocket, but Miguel wants to spin the wheel. He turns down a $250 Marshall's Certificate, but he spins...$200. In the Vitacilina for Gerardo...$300. Not bad, but not as good as they could have gotten.

Two people will have a chance to get as good as you can get - the Gran Trato worth over $5,000. Eric gives up the Lawn set, but Alicia won't give up the washer and dryer, so Gerardo, with his $300, gets to come, too. Eric wants Door #3 and Gerardo wants Door #2. No one wanted Door #1 - which is good because there was only $850 there today. Next up is Door...#....3, where Eric will be going to San Francisco on a $2,250 trip. Gerardo knows exactly what it means - he grabs the Gran Trato - a new living room set complete with carpeting, tables, lights and cell phones worth $5,142. That's a nice way to celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend. We'll see on Monday if we can continue to spread the love - and money.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

Last time, Jeff Donn (White Plains, NY) had to use a lifeline to get to $500. Let's see how much farther he can get...

There are times where Jeff spends a whole afternoon riding the NYC subways, and watching and observing others as they enter and exit. He finds it quite relaxing. But now, he has a chance to sit and win some money, and he resumes by knowing that it was Hong Kong whose Disneyland opened on Sept. 12, 2005 as chosen by a feng shui master, to reach $1,000. Another question later, and he faces this at the $4,000 level...

Which of these shoe names is an example of the literary device onomatopoeia?
A: Wedge
B: Flip-flop
C: Stiletto
D: Moccasin

Jeff decides to call his father, Michael, but all he can say is that he thinks it's not A. So, Jeff goes to the 50:50, which leaves B and D. As it turned out, all along, he figured it was B, so he goes for it... and he's right! If only he just went for it before using those lifelines... Oh well, what's done is done. Moving on, he gets to $8,000, then sees this $16,000 question...

What successful tech company was founded in 1984 by a college student in his University of Texas dorm room?
A: Dell Computers
B: Cisco Systems
C: America Online
D: Intel

Jeff has a feeling that it could be B. After some thought, he goes ahead and says B... but it's A! That drops him down to $1,000, and that's what he's heading home with.

Kim Mansi (Exton, PA) is the next contestant, and her husband John is in the audience. When they got married, the first place they went to on their honeymoon was Legoland. That's what John said. Legoland. Because he's a "Lego maniac". At least Kim made sure a younger cousin was with them there, so it didn't seem too weird for them to be there. And that was 12 years ago. Now, Kim begins her road to a possible million dollars by knowing that a police arrest usually requires the warning "Anything you say can and will be used against you" (good thing that line isn't used in couples therapy; at least, as far as I know). After a couple more questions, this comes up for $500...

Until 1998, what well-known candies were known in the United Kingdom as Opal Fruits?
A: Hershey's Kisses
B: Starbursts
C: M&Ms
D: Tootsie Rolls

Kim asks the audience. 83% of the studio audience goes with B, and so does 67% of the AOL Instant Messenger users. So, Kim goes with B... and they're right! Kim then moves through some more questions, such as one that asks what method of fighting an infantry, a military unit, is trained to use by definition (on foot). And she is on a roll, as she reaches this $25,000 question...

According to her Web site, which of these novels is Oprah's "favorite of all time"?
A: Invisible Man
B: Beloved
C: The Color Purple
D: To Kill a Mockingbird

Kim calls a co-worker, Jeffrey, who says D, but he isn't really sure. Kim then uses the 50:50, which leaves B and D. But she's still not sure enough to go for it, so she decides to walk. Though she could have had more if she went with D (which was the right answer), she seems happy with $16,000.

The next shot at the hot seat goes to Ben Byrne (Greenfield, MA), and he's a webmaster. No, it's not as kinky as Meredith apparently thought at first. He does the graphics and handles database stuff for a non-profit site. Though if the site happens to be... Never mind; let's just get going. Ben starts by knowing that one thing that's included on a person's résumé is work experience. He then breezes through more questions like one that asks what famous story has the line "There are two kinds of lies, lies with short legs and lies with long noses" (Pinocchio), before reaching $2,000.

That'll do it for this week. Ben will be back for more on Monday.
