Bet on Your Baby
by Chico Alexander

ABC: Saturday 8p/7C
Host: Melissa Peterman
In HD Where AvailableOfficial WebsiteFacebook
  First up as we break from NBA action is Scarlet (37 months), the little princess of Shelli & Joe Anderson. Toy Time for the Andersons. What is Scarlet's favorite toy: a Doodle Bear, a firetruck, a pull-along doggy, or a roll of toilet paper? Show us your firetruck, Scarlet. THAT'S RIGHT for $5000!

Burke (30 months) is a future locksmith song of Katie & Gary Bolton. They get... Copy Cat. Heading into the obstacle course in the BabyDome is Gary, while Katie gets this question: for $5000, will your husband & baby Burke reach the finish line in under 90 seconds? Katie says yes... but he only reaches the rollercoaster before time expires. Too bad. Burke rides the coaster anyway.

Third up, "joy is in the house" for Ayodele, or Ayo for short (31 months), the brainy son of Karen & Andrew Martin, both former pro football players. That's important as they play Body of Work. Karen gets to play coach, while Andrew plays this: for $5000 how many body parts will your wife get baby Ayo to point out in 60 seconds: 0-4, 5-9, or all 10? Andrew's going all in on all 10. GOOD BET!

Next to play: Mars (35 months), the "robot" offspring of Marissa & Eric Engel-Dixon. They get ... more fun with toilet roll in TP Takeoff. Marissa heads to the BabyDome, while we get this question for Eric: for $500 will Marissa get baby Mars to unspool the entire roll in 90 seconds? Eric goes with yes. Mars goes with the toilet paper!

We go right into our fifth game with Sawyer (27 months) the Destroyer. Trena & Scott Pitchford claim this one. They'll claim the Sound of Moo-Sic. Trena gets to play with Sawyer, while Scott gets to answer Melissa's query: for $5000 how many correct animal sounds will your wife get baby Sawyer to make in 60 seconds: 0-4, 5-7, 8-10? Scott goes with 8-10. Sawyer ends up with... 5.

Now time for the final rebus for a shot at the College Round. The puzzle.. PEANUT BUTTER (pea + nut + butter). And the winner... the MARTINS! The others leave with a $1000 Walmart GC and a year's worth of Luvs.

COLLEGE ROUND: Karen smashes #3.... $10,000 one-handed. They trade that in for pig #7... $1000. They trade THAT in for #2... "I'm trying to come to a place of balance in my life." How's this for balance, Ayo's going to COLLEGE!

Flea Market Flip

HGTV: Friday 9p/8C
Host: Lara Spencer

Ron & Zach
business partners
Vanessa & Lindsey
BFFs

Today's episode takes us to the Stormville Flea Market in upstate New York, somewhere between Manhattan and Albany. The object: $5000. The list... the money... and the hour... are hot.

FLIP LIST:
- Retro Design
- Light and Dark
- Create a Pair

Ron & Zach are revamping a pair of barstools, a pair of barrel end tables with accents from VW car windows from 1955, and a barber shop stand mini-bar. Vanessa & Lindsey counter with 1950s side tables, an upholstered bench out of two dining chairs, and a hall tree.

Next day, we take our wears to the Antiques Garage in New York City. The most net profit gets a sweet check from Scripps in the amount of $5000.

Ron & Zach's side tables go for $110 (profit: $60). The other end tables go for $100 (profit: $90). The bench goes for $200 (profit: $190), and the ladies have one piece left. The barstools sell for $225 (profit: $145), even after some interference from the laides. The rule: anything goes. The minibar... $280 (profit: $203). That leaves the hall tree with five minutes to go... and the ladies go strategic by selling the hall tree for less than it was purchased, $60 (loss: -$20).

Final score for $5000... $408 to $160 in favor of Ron & Zach. "That darn hall tree."

Host: Meredith Vieira
In HD Where AvailableOfficial WebsiteFacebookTwitterYouTubePlay Online
  Jason Klein (Westport, CT)
His partner, Douglas, who is in the audience, says that Jason has a bit of a crush on Meredith.

He faces this with $19,000 banked...

[Q4 - Legendary Singers]
Who won an amateur singing contest at the Apollo Theater in 1934 only after she had too much stage fright to dance onstage, as she had originally planned?
A: Sarah Vaughan
B: Billie Holiday
C: Ella Fitzgerald
D: Nina Simone

Jason says he knows that one of them is famous for singing at the Apollo Theater, but he's not sure about the others. He turns to the audience, and 46% say B, with 33% saying C. He says that the one he was referring to was C, and this has thrown him off. With that, he uses his first Jump. The answer is C, and he doesn't get... $500!

[Q5 - One to Ten]
Named for a Senator who experienced an extreme case of it, what affliction does NASA rate by using the Garn scale?
A: Home sickness
B: Motion sickness
C: Morning sickness
D: Decompression sickness

Jason starts by eliminating A and C. He doesn't think NASA would rate B, so D makes more sense to him. He says D... but it's B! That means he leaves with $1,000.

Phyllis Lubarsky (New York, NY)
She's a little worried about the possibility of brain freeze here.

She gets $7,000 from the 1st question, then jumps the 2nd, leaping over $25,000. That is followed by this...

[Q3 - TV Reunions]
In 2012, Michelle Williams hinted at a possible cast reunion of what TV drama even though her own character, Jen, died on the show?
A: My So-Called Life
B: Party of Five
C: Dawson's Creek
D: Felicity

Phyllis asks the audience, and 78% say C. She goes with that, and C is right, giving her... $100 more for a total of $7,100.

She soon jumps the 5th, which had $3,000. She has a total of $22,600 heading into this...

[Q7 - Fine Dining]
"Reviving hunter/gatherer traditions," New York City artist Laura Ginn made news with a 2012 performance art dinner in which she served food that contained what?
A: Acorns
B: Garbage
C: Rat meat
D: Roadkill

Since she hasn't heard about this, Phyllis walks with $11,300! The answer, by the way, is C.
