Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Hobbs (Lisa, Diana, Kendra, Jasara, Wayne); $955
Gardiner (Brooke, Matt, Cindy, Jereme, Terri)

Against all better logic, it's the last new Feud of 2005. Round 1: 100 married women, something your husband in (6). Lisa gets food, #2, but Brooke thinks that women is #1... two short there. Lisa wins the face-off. Diana gets #4, cars. Kendra gets #5, jewelry. Wayne has good taste in clothes for #1. The Gardiners try to steal with cologne... Not there, the Hobbses have 85. Other answer: music.

Round 2: something you might ask the person sitting behind you at a movie theatre to stop doing (5). Diana gets #1, talking. Kicking also makes the board. The Gardiners try again with throwing popcorn. Got it for 86! Other answers: popping gum, laughing in ear. We have a one point Feud going into the...

Double Round: Hollywood's hottest couple (5). Cindy tries Tom Cruise & Penelope Cruz... Uhh..  no. Kendra replaces Penelope with Katie Holmes and it's #3. Jasara gets Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, #1. Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore also make the board. The Gardiners go with the they-were-still-together-when-this-ep-taped Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson for 192. Other answer: Will & Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Triple Round: a dog's worst enemy (4). Jasara gets number one with a cat. The mailman (people) and other dogs overload the bank. This steal is for the game, as the Gardiners try one more time with fireworks... Not there! The Hobbses win, 328-192! Other answer: fleas/ticks

Sibs Wayne and Jasara... well, Wayne comes up with 31 for Fast Money, including this gem for the age when you start feeling old: "53." Together, they get 127 for $635, giving them $1590.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Rex Babiera (learning consultant from Chicago); $32,200, two days
Tom Kavanaugh (writer from St. Louis)
Keara Depenbrock (political consultant from Brooklyn, NY)

It's the Brooklyn Dodger and the St. Louis Card versus the bullish Rex today. Rex stars with $200 National Geographic.. and immediately fumbles, arriving at the TV time out with -$600. Keara has $1600, while the guy named after that other guy from "Ed" has $3000 and the lead.

Last category in play is Better Homes & Gardens (yes, all the categories were famous magazines), and the $800 clue is the Daily Double this round. Keara, only trailing by $600, bets $2000. The clue: in 1947, he retired to a Beverly Hills mansion with longtime mistress Marion Davies. "Who is... Randolph Hearst?" Going to the judges.... They'll take it! William Randolph Hearst gives Keara $6400. She ends with... $5400 to Tom's $5000. Rex... still under by six bills, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Math & Science. Six clues in and Tom finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Musical Instrument. Tom bets $2800 on this: this instrument of tuned wooden bars is a Central American xylophone that originated in Africa. "What is a marimba?" Right on for $11,000! Meanwhile, Keara tries to ring in twice on a question in Robert Louis Stevenson. While it doesn't pay off (and shame on your for thinking it will!), she does find the second Daily Double for $1200. She bets $2000 on the 1881 tale called "The Sea-Cook". "What is Treasure Island?" Right for $9000! She ends with $9800 to Rex's $1400. Meanwhile, it's Tom's game to lose with $24,200.

Final Jeopardy! in "Soviet History": he died in Moscow September 11, 1971 following nearly 7 years of house arrest. Correct question: Who was Nikita Khrushchev?

Keara's right, but only betting a third of her stash, giving her $16,799. Tom... also right, as he wraps up the year tomorrow with $28,000. Rex, who questioned, "Who was Sakharov?", leaves with $33,200.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
Well, we have 2 days left in the year 2005 for WOF...so let's find out what happened on the Thursday edition of "Let It Snow" Week!

The $1,000 Tossup is THINGS. Mary Engman, an elementary school counselor from Wisconsin, solved SLEDS & TOBOGGANS for $1,000. Mike Cochran from Kansas City, MO is engaged and a student at Penn Valley Community College. Sarah Lillis is a stay at home mom and a registered nurse.

The $2,000 Tossup is LIVING THINGS. Mary is two for two with POPLAR TREES. She has $3,000 and we add a trip to Aspen Colorado and the Gant Resort worth $5,000. She starts this round which is ON THE MAP. She hits and picks up the $1,000 Gift Certificate to the Company Store. She hits Lose A Turn...over to Mike. He misses...over to Sarah. She misses... back to Mary. She solves JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA for $1,450. With
everything she has $5,450 in cash and prizes.

The Jackpot round is sponsored by Eggland's Best Eggs. The category is ON THE MENU. Mike starts. He hits and picks up the Aspen Trip. Next Spin...Lose A Turn...over to Sarah. She hits the Jackpot Wedge...but of course can't solve. She misses...over to Mary. She solves HOT ARTICHOKE SPINACH DIP for $1,300. She has $6,750 and all Mary so far.
 
The mystery round prize is $10,000 and the category is EVENT...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. Sarah starts. She hits the mystery wedge...will she risk almost $6,000? We know it's BANKRUPT...and she keeps the money. And after all that spinning...she hits Lose A Turn... over to Mary. She misses...over to Mike. He hits Lose  A Turn...back to Sarah. She solves HAVING THE ENTIRE BEACH TO YOURSELF for $6,450. And you can do that on your trip to Puerto Rico! It's a trip to Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa worth $6,470. And if you have the SPIN ID of CM13846 you are off to Puerto Rico! She gets on the board in a big way with $12,920 in cash and trip...she has the lead!

The $3,000 Tossup is TV TITLE. And Mike is on the board with THE BIGGEST LOSER and he has $3,000. He starts this round which is AROUND THE HOUSE. But we are into the FINAL SPIN...$1,300 a letter. Mike solves NEEDLE-NOSE PLIERS for $2,850 and he leaves with $5,850. Mary leaves with $6,750 in cash and prizes. Sarah's one big round gave her the win
with $12,920 in cash and trip to Puerto Rico!

But before she goes to Puerto Rico...she gets to win another prize in the bonus round. She lands on the $. Her category tonight is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:

_ _ _ E  _ E
_  _ _ N T

She chooses MCPA and we have:

_ _ _ E  M E
A  _ _ N T

Pat couldn't do this if she asked to GIVE ME A HINT. And she lost a 2006 Chevy HHR. But she leaves with a total of $12,920 in cash and a trip to Puerto Rico!
