Who's up for more Holiday Wishes? Albert Rodriguez is! Albert makes a snow angel in the stage and the soon to be dad is going to take his money and give it to his family. AwwwwBarf. We have our $10,000 Sears Certificate in play and he keeps his original case of #6. Let's see what we have stuffed today. #15 (Julie) - $5. #8 (Kristan) - $7,500. #11 (Blake) - $1. #9 (Allie) - $50. #13 (Hal) - $2,500. That's a good first round, so we get a good first round offer. $32,000. NO DEAL!

And let's thaw out 5 more cases. #19 (Woody) - $400. (Javier) - $500,000. Well, we're not giving out the big one during Thanksgiving. #20 (Meg) - $250,000. You're going the wrong way, Albert. #16 (Phyllis) - $50,000. #18 (Terrellus) - PENNY! That's a little better, but he knocked out 3 big amounts, so The Banker is going to knock him a little. $9,000. NO DEAL! 4 cases to open.

#12 (Kelly) - $75,000. #21 (Joanna) - $500. #4 (Jennifer) - $300. #10 (Lucy) - SEARS! Lucy wins the certificate. Albert wins a board with a very limited safety net.

$10, $25, $100, $200, $1,000, $5,000, $25,000, $100,000
OFFER: $12,000

Albert wants to play for more. NO DEAL! 2 cases to open. Once again, Albert must stay away from the evil turkey case.

#5 (Kristie) - $25,000. Safety net is now all cranberried.
#7 (Erica) - $5,000. Evil Turkey avoided.

$10, $25, $100, $200, $1,000, $100,000
OFFER: $7,000

With no safety net, the offer is going down. The evil turkey has gotten more evil. NO DEAL! Avoid that turkey. 2 cases to open.

#3 (Mary Ellen) - $25
#1 (Robert) - $200 No gibblets here.

$10, $100, $1,000, $100,000
OFFER: $17,000

#22 (Kathryn) - $10. Nice pull.

$100, $1,000, $100,000
OFFER: $27,000

That's a nice offer. DEAL for $27,000! Did he do the right thing? Next case...$100 (OFFER: $46,000). Inside Albert's case...$100,000! He had it! He does walk off with $27,000, which is a nice way to celebrate the holidays, but he could have been really Thankful. We wrap up the week tomorrow.

  It's Thanksgiving. Which means it's time to gather your family, join with your neighbor's family, and break bread after giving thanks for the many blessings we've had over the last year...

... Enough of that. Let's get to Feudin'.

Silver (Bob, Ashley, Geoff, Paul, Amy)
Charlotte
Ford (Kenneth, Keeira, Shalea, Kenda, Tyler)
Palm Desert, CA
$21,740, two days

Round 1 (6): what would you do if you burned the Thanksgiving turkey? Kenneth serves it anyway for #4. Keeira gets take out for #3. Kenda serves something else for #1. Then you'd get another one. The Silvers go out to eat for the steal... It's good for 64. Other answer: cry/curse.

Round 2 (7): something that makes you think of Switzerland. Keeira goes yard with snow for #1. Chocolate and Heidi follow. The Silvers can steal again with Swiss cheese... Got it for 121. Other answers: watch/clock, skiing, army knife.

Double (full board): real or fictional, someone with Simon in their name. Shalea gets #3, Simon Says. Geoff gets the big one, fellow FremanleMedia employee Simon Cowell. Then comes Paul Simon, Carly Simon, and Simple Simon. The Fords try to steal with Simon Garfunkel. Art's long lost brother... Not there! 283 for the Silvers. Other answer: Simon Seville (the Chipmunk... SAID!).

Triple (4): an activity some people do in the shower. Paul sings for #1. Shaving and washing are also there. The Fords have one last shot at it with ... pee. It's not there! Silvers win, 562-0! Other answer: "fool around".

Fast Money: Paul & Bob get ... 197. A heartbreaker ends with $985.

  It's Thanksgiving, and Nathaniel's just looking for some more money to spend tomorrow.
 
Nathaniel Barnes
Toronto
bartender/composer
$57,300, three days
Peter Pinnow
Oxford, MS
high school English teacher
Danielle Sexton
Englewood, CO
law student

Nathaniel starts with $200 Poetry. At the TV time out, Peter is way out in front with $3400 to Nathaniel's $1400 and Danielle's $600.

Peter finds the Daily Double under $1000 Three of a Kind. He risks $2400 on this: the Seychelles, a literary "Gulag", the Aleutians. "What are archipe-LA-goes?" It's actually archi-PEL-agoes, but it's good for $9000. He drops a little to $8200 to Nathaniel's $5400. Danielle, still on $600, will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Constellations, Literally, where Peter finds the first Daily Double under $1200. He bets $3000 on Monoceros. "What is unicorn?" Correct for $11,600. Danielle finds the other under $1600 Show Biz Award Winners. After a change in scoring benefiting Peter, Danielle fronts $3000 on this: voters lent him their ears & he won Song of the Year at the first Latin Grammys in 2000. "Who is Marc Anthony?" Correct for $6800. She moves up to $10,800 to Nathaniel's $14,200. Peter's got the lead going into the Final with $20,800.

Final Jeopardy! in "Holidays & Observances": the only public state holiday in the US honoring a monarch is one honoring this ruler. Correct question: who is King Kamehameha?

Peter was in the right state, but not in the right gender, but he's left with enough to win $12,800. Nathaniel leaves with $59,300.
