Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Hobbs (Lisa, Diana, Kendra, Jasara, Wayne)
Moore (Nathan, Josie, Mahiri, Johnny, Deseray); $700

We have the Hobbs... Where's Calvin? Okay, that sucked... Round 1: something you would hate to have break down just before you host a big party (6). Nathan gets #2, oven. Lisa gets... hosed. Josie get #1, the fridge. We have 51 in the bank, and the Hobbses try to steal with electricity. Yes! Other answers: air conditioner, car, table with food.

Round 2: past or present, a famous person with the last name of "Davis" (5). Diana gets #1, Sammy Davis, man. Kendra meant to say "Clive", I bet. It just came out "Clyde." As for Jasara's "Marion"... well, there's no saving that. The Moores go with Bette Davis for the steal... up there for 41. Other answers: Ossie Davis, Geena Davis, Jefferson Davis. Ten point Feud going into the...

Double Round: the biggest complaint people have about public transportation (full board). Mahiri is right on time with "never on time" for number one. Other complains: the price, too crowded, and not clean. The challengers go with "too many stops"... Count it under "Too slow" as the Hobbses get 171. Other answers: the waiting.

Triple Round: an animal that's really good at digging (4). Johnny wins the faceoff with number one, dogs. That's all they get... and it's all the Hobbs need to win. All they need is the steal with foxes... Not there! The Moores get 200! Other answers: mole (said!), groundhog, squirrel.

Sudden Death: 100 men, which actress has the most kissable lips? Wayne's in... "Angelina Jolie." Ask Brad Pitt... Hell, ask her brother. The Hobbses win, 327-200.

Wayne and his sister Jasara were SO close in Fast Money, but they wind up with $955.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Rex Babiera (learning consultant from Chicago); $22,900
Leslie Hickey (education director from Cleveland, OH)
Kevin Gomes (training & education design specialist orig. from Grand Island, NE)

Leslie's hometown is relevant... Just pay attention during the Double Jeopardy! round... Meanwhile, Rex starts with $200 Get Your Group Together. He gets his game together to lead with $2000 at the TV time out. Leslie has $200 on the blue side, Kevin... on the red by $200.

After a visit from NAACP President Kweisi Mfume, we go to the last clue, Rex's Daily Double under $1000 Get Your Group Together. He risks the level on the third main group in Rome not counting the Sabines and the Etruscans. "Who are the Latins?" He's right for $6600 to Leslie's $1400. Meanwhile, Kevin managed to climb back to zero as he starts Double Jeopardy!...

But before we do, remember Leslie's connection with Double Jeopardy!? That comes in the form of category "Cleveland Rocks!" Leslie meets it with a giggle, while Kevin starts with $400 Movie Quotes. Leslie gets the $400, misses the $1600, and is stumped on $2000. Somewhere, a certain GSNNer is scratching their head. Meanwhile, Rex finds the first Daily Double under $1200 Architecture. Rex bets level again with this: with help from feng shui, Norman Foster reinvented the office tower with a 1980s building in this then-colony. Rex... comes up with New Zealand, dipping to $7000. Correct: Hong Kong. Last category is in play as Kevin finds the second Daily Double under $1200 American Women. He bets $2000 to catch up with the head. The clue: Babette was the middle name of this American woman who moved to France in 1907. Kevin... comes up with Ann Adams. It was Alice B. Toklas, as Kevin ends the round with $3200 (we get the beeps) to Leslie's $4600 and Rex's $7800.

Final Jeopardy! in "Pulitzer Prize-Winning Plays": this play says, "Then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at--Elysian Fields!" Correct question: What is "A Streetcar Named Desire"?

Kevin and Rex are right, but Kevin stopped short of "ire", which will count as incorrect. Rex wins another $9300, putting his total at $32,200.
