Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Behnke (Amanda, Steve, Michelle, Rebekah, Sean)
Santos (John, Nancy, Christopher, Jon, Jaime) from Houston; $20,000

Rewind back to October 7, when the Santos won their first Fast Money. They're back, and ready to take on the challenge of the Behnkes. Round 1: something a man owns that he might try to bet on a poker game (6). Amanda gets #2, the car. Steve's watch is #1! The house is also on the table, as the Santos try to steal with boat. Not there! The Behnkes get 90. Other answers: money, Playstation, the farm.

Round 2: a food that doesn't go well with kissing (5). Nancy gets #2 for her squad with onions. Chris: "You can't kiss with garlic breath!" The kid gets #1! The Behnkes try to steal with hot sauce... Not there, and it's a three-point Feud! Other answers: sardines/fish, liver, peanut butter... didn't they have a story about that?

Double Round: a bad occupation for someone who easily gets the giggles (full board). Christopher gets #1, psychiatrist (count it under doctor/dentist). But they don't want any part of it. They only add on teacher. The Santos try to steal with comedian... Not there, the Behnkes get 170. Other answer: mortician (said by Richard), judge, nurse, lawyer.

Triple Round: something chickens do (4). Peck is three, but crow... doesn't make it. Jon wins the showdown. Jaime lays eggs for #1. That's it for them, though, as the Behnkes steal one more time with clucking for the game, 320-87. Other answer: scratch.

Siblings Michelle and Steve take on Fast Money. Michelle scores with "a soup often served at cafeterias" (chicken noodle) and "a former President most people would say was honest" (Abe Lincoln) for 104. Steve gets #1s on "if you woke up totally bald, what would you do?" (get toupee)... End result... 177, giving them $885.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Peter Rubin (journalist from Brooklyn); $21,400
Julie Reynolds (writer from Washington, DC)
Bob McDonald (aerospace engineer from San Pero, CA)

"American Idol's" loss is Jeopardy!'s gain, as Peter defends for the first time. He starts with $200 Dread Man Walking. At the break, though, it looks like Bob is shining Peter's bald head quite nicely with $4000 to his $2000. Julie, not too far behind with $1200.

Julie can make a play with the Daily Double under $600 What's Up, Pediatrician? She bets it all. The clue: lots of parents with feverish kids alternate ibuprofen & this, from which Tylenol is made. "What is acetaminophen?" Right on for the doubler, $3200. And an evil laugh to boot. She ends with $4200 to Bob's $6200. Meanwhile, Peter isn't too far behind with $4000, as he gets to start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 in Men of the "C". Bob finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Movie Star by Roles. Still in the lead with $6200, he goes $2000 on this: Melvin Udall, Jimmy Hoffa, Eugene O'Neill. "... Who is Danny Devito?" Nope. It was Jack Nicholson, as he drops to a tie with Julie at $4200. Back to Men of the "C", as Bob finds the second Daily Double in only the seventh clue of the round under $800. He bets $2000 on one of the 3 taken aboard the USS Hornet in 1969 and put into quarantine. Think... "Who is... Clydesdale?" Nope, it was the only moon lander to fit this category, Collins, as he is tied once again with Julie at $2200. The rest of the round will be a race to the buzzer as Peter leads with $6000, Julie with $3000, and Bob with a grand. Wagering should be very interesting. Does Peter wish to guarantee himself a spot in the next show, meaning that he would run the risk of taking Julie with him? Or, as another game show once asked, does he feel the need for greed?

Final Jeopardy! in "Composers": he moved to Vienna in 1766; in 1768 he presented his native Italy with the first opera staged at La Scala. Correct question: Who is Antonio Salieri?

The best case scenario is that Julie gets it right and bets everything while Peter bets nothing, therefore ensuring that both players return tomorrow... Doesn't happen, though. All three are wrong. Peter, though, still wagers nothing and returns tomorrow with $27,400.
