Host: Richard Karn
Behnke (Amanda, Steve, Michelle, Rebekah, Sean); $885
Moore (Nathan, Josie, Mahiri, Johnny, Deseray)

Round 1: something that people develop (5). Nathan fires with film, number one. Rest of the Moores get disease and addictions. The champs can steal with breasts. Nah, I'm lying. They can't. The Moores get 54. Other answers: mind/wisdom, attitudes.

Round 2: which first lady stated "I don't think there are ANY men who are faithful to their wives" (5)? Steve hits the top with Hillary Clinton. They milk the joke for about yeah much before the Moores try to steal with Jackie O. Got it for 121. Other answers: Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush.

Double Round: something with the word "band" in it (full board). Michelle gets a rubber band for #2. Rebekah gets #3, Band-aid. That's it for them as the Moores try to steal with wrist band. Not there, the Behnkes get 80. Number one: bandage. Other "bands": marching band, wedding band, bandstand.

Triple Round: name a Peter from a children's story or rhyme (4). Peter Pan is #1, as Rebekah wins the faceoff. Peter Cottontail, Peter Rabbit, and... Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater? The Moores hopes so. YES! The Moores win 388-80.

Spouses Deseray and Nathan team up for only $700 in Fast Money

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Peter Rubin (journalist from Brooklyn); $27,400, two days
Rex Babiera (learning consultant from Chicago)
Sharon Dorsey (mail carrier from Redding, PA)

Yesterday was not as spectacular as Friday was. Let's hope for a rebound. Peter starts with $200 You're Toying with Me!. At the TV time out, it looks like Rex is toying with everyone, as he leads $2800 to Peter and Sharon's $1400 each.

The last clue, The Early 1800s for $1000, is the Daily Double, as Rex, who faltered while Peter rallied, bets $1200 on this: the Earl of this began shipping some of the marble work from the Parthenon back to England. "What is Dover?" Nope, it was the Earl of Elgin. Rex now ties Sharon with $1000, while Peter has $5800. Rules state that the closest to Alex, in this case Rex, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 in CEOs. Sharon finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Musical Theatre, risking $2000 on the inspiration from "The String of Pearls, of the Fiend of Fleet Street". "What is Sweeney Todd?" Right for $5000! She finds the second under $2000 Word Lore. She goes $3400 on this: in legend, the Golem, a sort of robot, was created in this city where the word "robot" was later coined. "I'll say Warsaw." Wrong answer, wrong phrasing. "What is Prague?" Sharon has $3200. She'll end with that, while Rex shoots into the lead at the last second with $13,000 to Peter's $11,400. A very close game.

Final Jeopardy! in "Inventors": in the 18th Century, he wrote "I have only to move my eyes up or down... to see distinctly far or near." Correct question: Who is Benjamin Franklin (he invented bifocals)?

Peter's right, betting $8200... Rex is right, betting more and winning with $22,900. Peter leaves with $28,400.

Are you getting ready for the New Year...then of course let's find out what happened on the Tuesday edition of WOF's "Let It Snow" week! The $1,000 Tossup is OCCUPATION.

She has 3 kids and is originally from Chicago.

The $2,000 Tossup is PLACE. Donald quickly solved STATE CAPITAL for $2,000. And we add to the wheel a ski vacation to Lake Placid, NY and a stay at the Golden Arrow Hotel worth $4,050. Donald starts this round which is THING...and is a PRIZE PUZZLE. He hits and picks up the $1,000 Gift Tag to the Sierra Trading Post. Next Spin...Bankrupt...over to Marie... she hits Lose A Turn and over to Stephanie who hits a $2,500 S. She misses...back to Donald. He misses...back to Marie. She misses a vowel and it's back to Stephanie. She reads WIDE-BRIMMED STRAW HAT for $5,350. And you can wear one on your trip to the Bahamas! It's a trip to Grand Bahama Island at the Pelican Bay at Lucaya worth $5,400...and if you have the SPIN ID of AR03538--you are off to the Grand Bahama Island....That round was worth $10,750...and she has $11,750 in cash and trip!

The Jackpot round is sponsored by Eggland's Best Eggs. The category is SHOW BIZ...Marie starts. She hits and picks up the Lake Placid Trip. She controls the wheel for most of the round... but misses a vowel...and over to Stephanie. She hits and picks up the $1,000 Company Store gift certificate. She hits the Jackpot Wedge and solves PATRICIA ARQUETTE STARS IN MEDIUM for $8,300. That round was worth $9,300 and her total is $21,050 in cash and prizes!

The mystery round prize is $10,000 and the category is BEFORE AND AFTER. Stephanie starts. She hits a $3,500 K. She spins for a while...and misses a vowel...over to Donald...he hits the mystery wedge and risks and gets the $10,000. And he solves WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG UNDERWEAR for $10,000. He has $12,000!

The $3,000 Tossup is TITLE. Donald misses, and Marie is on the board with GOURMET MAGAZINE with $3,000. And we go into the FINAL SPIN with a PHRASE...$1,700 a letter tonight. Stephanie seals her win with IT'S A MATTER OF TASTE and $10,200! And she has $31,250 in cash and prizes! Marie leaves with $3,000 in cash...and Donald leaves with $12,000 in cash!
