Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Brooks (Debbie, James, Nathan, Cecil, Mike); $21,515, three days
Wiley (Donald, Brenda, Kesha, Marvin, Rosemary)

The Brooks have been smashing in the survey rounds, but only turned Fast Money once. Will the Wileys get wily on them today? Round 1: 100 married women, one word that always gets a man's attention (6). Once again, the lowest common denominator is top of the board, as Debbie gets sex. Next on the list: money. But that's it. The Wileys try with "pregnant". Not there, the Brooks get 55. Other answers: food, beer, dinner, honey.

Round 2: if animals could talk, which one would complain the most about humans (7)? James is second-best with cats, but Brenda gets #1, dogs. A monkey also makes the board. The Brooks go with horse for the steal... Of course! The Brooks are up to 132. Other answers: mouse, deer, cow.

Double Round: someone for whom you feel forced to buy a Christmas gift (5). Kesha makes her mark with #3, your parents. Boss comes in at #2. The Brooks try to steal with in-laws... It's number one for 188. Other answers: siblings, co-workers.

Triple Round: something people know about Will Smith (4). He's an actor for 3. He's a comedian for 4. Cecil wins the faceoff. But no answers come of it, as the Wileys steal with "married to Jada Pinkett". Number one: rapper. Score stands at 188-57 going into...

Sudden Death: something that a person with a really long tongue might be able to touch on their face. That's Mike: "Their eyebrows." Not there, going to Rosemary: "Their nose." Good for the win, 318-188.

Brenda & Kesha get the $20,000 in the Fast Money round using nine of their 10 questions.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Vik Vaz (medical student from Austin, TX); $51,201, two days
Josh Danson (marketing communications analyst from San Francisco)
Liz Lackey (student from Wayne, NJ)

Among the categories in play in the Jeopardy! Round: Inside the CIA. That's right, the Culinary Institute of America. Vik, as the Man in Black, starts with $200 Cuban History. Liz takes that clue, and four in Women in Song, to start out with $2200. She'll drop to $1400 at the time-out, while Vik inherits the lead with $2600 to Josh's $1600.

Vik finds the Daily Double under $1000 -ology Whiz. With Josh breathing down his neck by $1000, he goes for double level. The clue: thaumatology, the study of these events, might be part of deciding who gets canonized. "What are miracles, Alex?" Indeed for $6200. He ends the round with $6600, while Josh ends with $3800. Meanwhile, Liz, behind at $2000, gets to start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Musical Compositions, finding the first Daily Double under $1200. With nothing left to lose, Liz fronts all of her $2000. The clue: Beethoven's "Solemnis" is this type of religious work. "What is a mass?" Right on for the doubler, $4000. Josh gets the second Daily Double under $1600 Star Light, Star Bright. He bets $1000 only on a spectral class G yellow star with an apparent magnitude of about -26. "What is a yellow dwarf?" Hardly. It's the sun, or "Sol", leaving him tied with Liz's $10,400 to end the round. Meanwhile, Vik has the lead at $15,400.

Final Jeopardy! in "In the Encyclopedia Brittanica": the last full 2004 micropedia article about a person is on the Russian-born man famed as an inventor of this in the 1920s. Correct question: What is the television, invented by Zworykin?

Vik is the only one to nail it, and the inventor to boot. He'll return tomorrow with $20,801 extra, a three-day take of $71,002.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Sandra Fields (no relation to Mr. Announcer), Kristen Kelley, Margie Ellis, or Clinton Ellingston could be on their way to San Francisco. It's Clinton who wins the trip and a chance at a Rascal scooter and a bar set. The scooter is marked $3276. The bar set is marked $4198. Should they stay that way or should they be Switched? The audience says stay. Clinton says "Switch!" The audience gives him the business. But Clinton has the last laugh as he's right on the money!

Sandra gets her chance on the stage with a sofa. She plays Spelling Bee for a Ford Focus. Only getting two of the prizes, a sound machine and a toaster, she gets three Cs for three tiles. Her only hope is to get the CAR card. She gets... an R.

Kristen redeems her earlier $4000 bid in the one-bid with a $1 bid for a telescope. But can she take away a treadmill, dinnerware, or a bass guitar? She can if she knows when to Buy or Sell. The treadmill was marked $1599. The dinnerware is marked $2020. The bass is worth $3860. She sells all three and makes $700 for herself (she was supposed to buy the dinnerware). But it's ace switcher Clinton who goes to the Showcase

Marilyn McCullough wins a range and a chance at a computer and an armoire playing the Double Prices. The Double Prices are $3579 and $2740. She goes for $3579, and she's right!

Olive Anderson wins map replicas in round 5, and now has a chance to win five figures - $16,000! It's in the Bag, that money. The products: Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls, Newphase, Quickie scrub brush, Super Poligrip, Ecotrin aspirin, and a pack of Starburst. She thinks Starburst is .55. That's $1000. She thinks the Newphase is $15.99. That's $2000. She thinks the rolls are $1.39. That's $4000. And that's enough. Good move, because the aspirin, not the Poligrip, is under $7.00

Michael Tippett is down and up in round 6 thanks to his and hers watches, and $500 for getting it right on the nose. But he can't roll crap in the Dice Game, missing out on a Dodge Dakota. It's okay, as he gets into the Showcase.

First Showcase features a visit to Nurse Numbskull. She brings with her garden tools, an HDTV, and a travel trailer. Top winner Clinton passes to Michael, who bids $12,569. Clinton gets a bedroom with mattress, a security system, and a trip to New Zealand. He bids $13,500. Actual price: $18,690, a $5190 difference. Actual price of Michael's Showcase: $22,739. Clinton's the big winner with $29,212 in swag.

Stats: 3-2-1, $60,172.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  Noon ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
Ruiz and Vanessa are dressed up as Jokers, but they could have the last laugh if they win a new Chrysler PT Cruiser worth $15,995! It's time to guess the prices of products. First up - Windex within $2.00. Guess - $3.00. Price - $2.98. Very nice, and we move on to some Pledge, to be guessed within $1.50. Guess - $3.25. Price - $4.98. Yikes. That's not within $1.50, so they don't win the car. They can win some more money if they guess some plant food within a dollar, but a $2.50 guess is nowhere the $3.99 price. Can they guess Tarn-x within 50 cents? Their $6.50 guess is....well, we're not going to get there yet, as Guillermo offers them a bailout of Curtain #2. They take the curtain, and they get a stove, refrigerator and a dishwasher package worth $2,097! By the way, the Tarn-x was only $4.50, so they wouldn't have gotten the money anyways.

We next go to Sergio, who is a Spanish Clown with no pants (yipes!). He sees 2 products - a mini-tire and a horse statue. One of those items has a nice item connected to it. Sergio selects the horse - and doesn't selects the $300 buyout that Guillermo offers him. The tire is connected to Curtain #2, which features the Big Bad Wolf fencing for a Chasco! The horse is connected to the Box, which today has a nice trip to Las Vegas and $600 worth of Gasoline, which is a package worth $1,150! And now he can get himself some pants.

Trato Hecho likes to be multicultural, too, as we meet Gloria the Geisha and Eliza the Hawaiian. Guillermo shows them a green and pink handbag to select from. Gloria selects the Green one, while leaves Eliza the pink one. Does Gloria want to trade it for the box? No she doesn't, and she gives up a washer/dryer combo worth $1,098 - but she does get $500 from the handbag. Does Eliza want to trade hers for Curtain #2? Yes she does, and she gives up $500. She does have the Curtain, though and behind there is the Big Bad Chasco Wolf cleaning out a pirate's ear with an oversized Q-Tip while there's a big cannon in the background. Uhhh... ok, someone was bored.

Hopefully, no one will be bored as we get to the Gran Trato. The couple does not want to trade, but Sergio does, as does Gloria. Sergio wants Door #2, Gloria wants door #3, and no one wants Door #1, which today had $850. Sergio has traded away his trip to Vegas and a $600 certificate for gas for a trip to New York and a $600 certificate to Broadway viewing, as he gets to go on a $2,400 trip. Gloria, however, traded her $500 for the Gran Trato, which is a new living room, complete with tables and carpeting, worth $5,962! That's the biggest one we've had in quite a while. Let's see if we can do even better tomorrow.
 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
We end November with the 3rd day of "Holiday Shopping Week" on WOF! The $1,000 tossup is PHRASE. Sarah misses...and Bernice Alota from San Diego solved NAME YOUR PRICE for $1,000. She was in the Navy, and is now is an elementary school teacher with a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old. Sarah Hokum from Missouri is starting grad school and just got engaged.

You will stay in Caesars Palace and a shopping spree in the Forum Shops from vegas.com! It's worth $5,500. The category for this round is LIVING THINGS...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. He hits and picks up the Vegas Shopping Spree. He misses a vowel...over to Bernice...she hits Bankrupt...over to Sarah. She calls a vowel already used...back to

And if you have the ID of CH03898, you are off to the South Pacific! He has $18,470 in cash and trips!

The jackpot round is sponsored by Eggland's Best Eggs. The category is OCCUPATION. Bernice hits Bankrupt. Over to Sarah. She hits and picks up the Free Spin. She hits Lose A Turn...and doesn't use the Free Spin... over to Tristan. He loses $1,950 on Bankrupt...back to Bernice. She solves PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER for $2,250. She has $3,250!

The mystery round prize is a pricegrabber.com shopping spree worth $10,000...the category is BEFORE AND AFTER. Sarah starts. She hits the Mystery wedge...will she risk the $1,000? And she does...and it's the shopping spree! She solves LINGERIE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES for $4,600. And she has the $10,000 shopping spree as well! She has $14,600 in cash and prizes!

The $3,000 Tossup is THINGS. Sarah moves closer and closer to the lead with POST-IT NOTES. She has $17,600. The category is PROPER NAME...but we go right into the FINAL SPIN...$1,300 a letter tonight. And Sarah wins with $3,900 by solving NEWS ANCHOR BRIAN WILLIAMS. She wins with $21,500! Tristan is going to Fiji and Vegas with a great 2nd place total of $18,470. And Bernice leaves with $3,250.

I smell a bonus round win. She lands on the *** wedge. Her category is AROUND THE HOUSE. With the RSTLNE we have:

_ _ _ E _ _
_ R _ S _

She picks MHFO and we have:

M _ _ E _ _
_ R _ S H

I got this one...and I am a guy. It was a MAKEUP BRUSH. And she lost $30,000. But she has a shopping spree and a nice total of $21,500!
 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
It's the last day of November, so let's see if someone can cap off the month in a big way.

First up is William Wuertz (Houston, TX), and when he was in the first grade, his teacher gave an assignment asking what they would do with a million dollars. He went with a mansion and a Ferrari. Plus, he visualized himself winning the million on a game show during that assignment. Now, William has a chance to do that for real, and he starts by knowing that the Boston Tea Party was a famous act of rebellion by the American colonists against the British. William has no trouble reaching $1,000, and he even makes it through most of the middle tier. Eventually, he gets to this $25,000 question...

What southern capital, once known as "Terminus," was built on one end of the Western & Atlantic Railroad?
A: Jackson
B: Raleigh
C: Montgomery
D: Atlanta

William decides to call his friend, Andy, who is pretty sure that it's D, since he says that's where he grew up. So, William goes with D... and he has $25,000! On to $50,000...

In geology, which of these periods of time is the shortest in duration?
A: Epoch
B: Period
C: Eon
D: Era

William is pretty sure that it's B, so he goes for it... but he's wrong! It's A! Darn, I thought he'd be able to make it to the million, but he should be happy with $25,000.

Next is Ursula Ziegler-Sullivan (Valley Village, CA). She has a hobby, and it happens to be collecting doughnuts that look like presidents. Um, yeah. I don't know how she managed to even come across one, but she says that apple fritters and the old-fashioned types tend to be best for these. Plus, she also says a good imagination helps. I see... Anyway, Ursula starts by knowing that an oven mitt is specifically designed to allow you to handle hot items (a father's running shoes may require more than that). A couple of questions later, and she has this for $500...

Advertising icon Ronald McDonald wears a clown suit that is primarily what color?
A: Blue
B: Green
C: Purple
D: Yellow

Ursula asks the audience, and it would be quite difficult for the results to get any more lopsided than this. A whopping 99% of the studio audience says D (the other 1% chose C), and a not-so-whopping-but-still-impressive 92% agree. Ursula naturally goes with D... and the vast majority are right, of course. She then reaches $1,000, and after another couple of questions, this pops up for $8,000...

Worn by stars such as Madonna and Britney Spears, Kabbalah bracelets are made from string of what color?
A: Purple
B: Red
C: Green
D: Yellow

The 50:50 leaves B and C. She is thinking that it's B, so she picks it... and she's right! Next stop, $16,000...

Meaning arrogant or disdainful, the word "supercilious" comes from the Latin word for what?
A: Upper lip
B: Forehead
C: Nostril
D: Eyebrow

Ursula is leaning towards A, but doesn't seem sure enough, so she calls her husband, Steve. However, he is unable to even make a guess. Ursula is still leaning towards A, but she thinks it could be D as well. Eventually, she decides to just go for it, and says A... but it's D! Ouch. She seems quite disappointed, but at least she has $1,000.

That's all for today. Here's hoping for some better luck tomorrow.
