Hand 2: Bobby gets a queen, Heather a 5, and Scarlett a 4. Bobby keeps a queen and freezes on 20. Scarlett passes a queen for 15. Heather passes a 2 for 6 and an Ace for soft 17. Scarlett passes a king to bust Heather with 200. She gets the draw with a 7 for 14. Jack busts, giving Bobby the round with 600 to her 800. Heather drops out.

Final Hand: Bobby has a 5 to Heather's king. Scarlett passes a 2 for 7... and a 7 for 14. Bobby has to pass the 8 for 18. Bobby busts Heather on a 10 to win.

Bonus Round with three Power Chips:

And that's a good place for Bobby to stop. He takes $6000 away, but would he have taken another $20,000? Yep. Next card was a 2.

 

Jeopardy!
by Chico Alexander

Air time: check local listings
Host: Alex Trebek

  Tui ended the week on a high. Will she begin the week in the same manner
 
Tui Sutherland
Watertown, MA
children's book author
$23,600
David Starr
Coquitlam, BC
elementary school principal
Kelani Chan
Washington, DC
investment relations associate

Tui starts with $200 12-Letter Words. At the TV time out, she leads with $2200 to Kelani's $1800. David not too far behind with $1400.

Tui finds the Daily Double under $800 12-Letter Words. She bets $1200 on this: starting & stopping at intervals, like today's windshield wipers. "What is intermittent?" Correct for $6400! Next clue is the last on $1000 more for the champ with the lead. David has $4600, while Kelani, with $2000, will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 4-Letter Rivers. David finds the first Daily Double under $1600 4-Letter Rivers. He bets a big $4000 on this: Lewis & Clark noticed the white color of this river & named it accordingly. And... nothing from David on the Milk River, dropping him to $6600. Tui could put this game out of reach with the second Daily Double under $2000 Shakespeare with a Twist. She bets $4000 on this: Christopher Hewitt was a singing Malvolio in "Music Is", a musical version of this festive comedy. "What is 'Twelfth Night'?" CORRECT for $22,600, and for the second show in a row, the game is Tui's to lose with $20,600 to David's $9800 and Kelani's $5200.

Final Jeopardy! in "The Beatles": Fittingly, the cover of this Beatles album shows the Fab Four engaging in a semaphore message. Correct response: what is "Help!"?

Tui manages to decode this code (semaphore + Fab Four = only four-letter Beatles album) to win $20,600, giving her a two-day take of $44,200.

We start this week in the first half of 2009 and will end it in the second half of 2009. Let's see who we got.

Matt - 21 - Staten Island, NY
Cameron - 19 - Brookhaven, NY
Keith - 25 - Queens, NY
John - 19 - East Setauket, NY
Ben - 19 - East Setauket, NY
Crazy Nick - 26 - Whitestone, NY

Why is he Crazy Nick? Who knows? Maybe we'll find out this episode.

Round 1: $300 per task

Not Your Tongue: John has to eat an ice cream cone while wearing a fake tongue. He gets enough of it down and the group was just quiet enough. PASS

Evil Masked: Matt has to withstand a gas mask full of cow dung for 30 seconds. He does and once again, the crew doesn't make too much noise. PASS

Kept Away: We see Crazy Nick's first challenge, which is to retrieve his hat from a very tall woman (no problem) and then be very quiet when being tasered by Jason 'Wee-Man' Capono (major problem - don't taze me, bro!) FAIL

TOTAL: $600

Round 2: $400 per task.

Lady Pants Pop: John gets to wear exploding balloons in his pantyhose. He suffers in silence, but he manages. PASS

Bad Taste Doll: In a last second card switch, John passes the challenge to Ben, who gets to resuscitate a doll that's spewing out some sort of green pea-like substance. Ben wins enough for a CPR license. PASS

Goat Race: Keith and a goat race to see who can eat a pot of flowers first. Winner: Keith. PASS

TOTAL: $1,200 = $1,800

Round 3: $800 per task

Formal Strike: Everyone gets to snap Keith's bow tie. Despite Keith doing a segment of The Riverdance, Keith gets through it. PASS

Squeezed Grape: While wearing a grape costume, Matt has to get into a phone booth. He does with seconds to spare. PASS

Frozen Choice: Cameron gets to decide which one of 6 frozen treats he can chow down on. The menu is: Fish heads, meal worms, duck yolks, squid tentacles, beef tendons and snails. I happen to like snails. Cameron spins out on...meal worms. He munches it down with seconds to spare. PASS

TOTAL: $2,400 = $4,200

FINAL TASK: $1,000

Wedding Shot: Crazy Nick gets to wear a wedding veil and get sprayed with uncooked rice. He screamed like a little girl. FAIL

So we find out that Crazy Nick is not only not that crazy, but he's a detriment to the team. He is the only person that failed tasks (2 of them) and costs the team $1,300. Booo, Crazy Nick. But a nice day for the team overall.

FINAL TOTAL: $0 = $4,200
$700 per person *
