Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Brooks (Debbie, James, Nathan, Cecil, Mike); $20,000

Mercado (Romeo, Jocelyn, Eric, Abigail, Rey)

Another bounce-around. We'll see the Letzers later. Round 1: one thing about a vacation that costs the most money (5). Romeo gets #3, food. Debbie gets #2, airfare. The hotel room is #1 for James. Gas and souvenirs round it out for the Brooks with 97.

Round 2: something of yours that you swear is possessed (full board). James gets #3, dog (or pet). Nathan's car is scary possessed for #2. The house is possessed for #4. The Mercados try to steal with the refrigerator. It'll shoot ice at you... Not there, as the Brooks go to 131. Number one: children. Other answer: computer, myself, cell phone, spouse.

Double Round: a college a good football player would go to (full board). Nathan hits the top with Notre Dame, while Eric knocks out 5, USC. UCLA, Michigan, Miami, and the Noles of Florida State give the Brooks 269.

Triple Round: a country that seems to tell other countries what to do (4). Cecil gets #1, the US. France and Iraq are also there, but now it's on the Mercados, who try Japan. Not there! The Brooks family take it, 554-0. Other answer: Russia.

Siblings Debbie & Cecil try for the Fast Money this time, but only manage 160 for $800, $20,800 for two days.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

Bill MacDonald (attorney from Bonita Springs, FL); $75,399, four days

Beth Doner (homemaker from Dearborn, MI)

Vik Vaz (medical student from Austin, TX)

Will this be the day that Bill makes six digits? Bill starts off his fourth defense with $200 A Proverbial Mess, finding the Daily Double, a video under $600 Awards & Honors. He's got $1200 and third place. He'll bet $900 on this clue, delivered by Cheryl: "This is the Emmy Award that this famous woman won in 1962 for giving a memorable tour of her home." "Who is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis?" Right for $2100. And what we have here is a match between his $3900 and Beth's $6800. She's really pouring the pressure. Meanwhile, Vik, still in it with $3800, starts off Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 South American History, finding the Daily Double under the $2000 level. With $5800, he bets $5000 on the person who beat Javier Perez de Cuellar for the presidency in 1995. "Who is Alberto Fujimori?" Got it for $10,800. Second Daily Double... next clue under $1200 Take a Michigander at This. Vik fronts $3000 on the Kalamazoo-born author of "So Big". "Who is Willa Cather?" Nope, it was Edna Ferber, as Vik goes to second with $7800. We run out of time in the middle of this one. Bill has $11,100. Beth, $11,600. Vik, $14,200. This can go to anyone.

Final Jeopardy! in "Heraldic Symbols": dating from the second half of the 15th Century, the Tudor rose was petals of these 2 colors. Correct question: What are red and white?

Bill gets it right, but only wagers $5701. Beth is right... and she bets $11,200. It's on Vik... Right... Wager... Enough. Vik returns tomorrow with $23,201. Bill leaves with $76,399.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

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

We're back from the Thanksgiving break, and today at 7800, we get to meet Brandi's equally-as-charming husband Dean. Hi, Dean! Okay, let's get into the game action...

We start with Tania Williams, Jeffrey "Li'l Jon's" Krohnke, Lt. Bradley "Just Call Me Brad" Waltermire, Angela Brown, and a spa. Jeffrey, of Schleswig, IA, gets the spa and a chance at a brass bed with mattress playing Pushover. The lineup: 836991570. He pushes to $3699... And nighty-night he goes!

Angela gets on stage thanks to a Playstation PSTwo package with two controllers, two memory cards, two Eye-Toys, and 13 games. Total cost: $675. Winner: Angela, who gets to see if she can't buy any more games with $10,000 on the Punchboard somewhere. Winning a CD rack, a pair of binoculars, and a 3-in-1 breakfast maker, she punches out $50, then $500, then $500 again... with a second chance! So she's guaranteed a return here... but only of another $100. So that's $600 for her. Cool!

Brad gets a swivel chair in round 3 and a chance to play for a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu. It's not $32,683. We're doing the One Away thing here. He starts up with $23,592... One honk... Two honks... Three honks... Four... That's it. One is wrong. He changes it to $21,592. Wrong. It's $23,572. As for the Showcase, it's Angela who spins her way to victory.

Paula Morici scuttles on down for a drum kit, the scuttles on up from NYC to play for a home gym and a grandfather clock. The 1 Right Price: $2325. She goes for the clock. She's a winner!

Tania wins round 5 with a set of fashionable luggage. She checks out Checkout for a dining room group with dinnerware. She prices Bayer aspirin, David sunflower seeds, Goldfish crackers, Super Poligrip, and Citracal all at $18.99. Actual prices? $2.91... Off by less than a buck.

A dishwasher is on the line, as newcomer Kristina "Hot and Spicy" Kury wins it and a chance at a Ford Focus playing, say it with me now... THAT'S TOO MUCH! Kristina thinks $19,120 is Too Much!, and That's Too Right! And Kristina's also Too on the way to the Showcase.

First up, little known investments. We have Smith Blarney, based in Ireland, Croppenheimer Funds, based in a greenhouse, and Charles Swab, based on a sailboat. Top winner Kristina passes to Angela, who bids $22,000. Now we get the Beauties' vacation photos, along with a portable DVD player, a travel trailer, and a Mediterranean cruise! Kristina bids $15,000. Actual price: $23,286, a difference of $8286. Actual price of Angela's package: $37,329. Kristina is your big winner with $42,340.

Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

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

The Thanksgiving Turkeys are all gone - but there could be a Super Pollo Chasco or 2 left as Leftovers. Hopefully we won't find it, but we do find the mysterious Llerona, who could give you a new refrigerator worth $1,499. We have 3 boxes - and the fridge (along with pictured of Llerona's sons) is hiding under one of them. Ricky the Policeman wants Door #3 and Esmeranda the beauty Queen wants box #3. Ricky and Esmerelda are both given a $300 buyout offer, but neither of them want it. Esmerelda, behind Box #3 gets a DVD played with a DVD of the movie 'Selena' for a total of $499. Behind Box #2...a big fake tin diamond Chasco. The sons of Llerona today were under Box #1, and neither of them find it - nor do they find the refrigerator.

We go to Alphabet City with Magdo, who is wearing every letter of the alphabet. He's not picking letters though - he's picking colors. He can pick the red or blue folder, and the one he doesn't want goes to Miguel the walking infirmary. Magdo selects Red, so Miguel gets blue. Magdo can swap out his folder for Curtain #2, but he doesn't want to - and he gives up professional tools and a cabinet worth $1,063. Miguel can get rid of his folder for the Box, but he also wants it, giving up a Trip to Las Vegas and a $600 Certificate of gas worth a total of $1,100. What do they win? Magdo gets a check worth $100 - as does Miguel. No one is selecting accurately today.

Well, either Umberto or Rosendo will win something, because whoever comes closer to pricing Vitacilina will win $500. Rosendo says $2.00. Umberto says $2.59. The price is $2.49 and Umberto wins another $500. Rosendo has $50, but he can trade it for the coupon in Guillermo's pocket. Of course he's going to trade and he gets a $300 certificate to Buca's Restaurant. Does Umberto want to trade the $550 for the curtain? He does, despite the audience yelling at him not to. The audience is...wrong, as Umberto wins a nice sofa worth $999.

Umberto can return it right back for a shot at the Gran Trato, which he does. Esmeranda joins him as we go to the 3 doors. Umberto selects #3 and Esmeranda selects #2. Rosendo says that he would have selected #1, but he's not involved in the deal. Esmeranda is, and she walks off with $750. Umberto gets a refrigerator, dishwasher and sewing machine worth $2,464, but Rosendo was absolutely right, for behind Door #1 was a trip to Mexico and a new bedroom set worth a total of $5,061. No one gets it, and Rosendo is still screaming about it. If only he was 49 cents closer to the Vitacilina.....
