Jeopardy!

Host: Alex Trebek

  Cyd toppled a giant yesterday and looks to do the same to these two.
 
Cyd Musni
Orlando
customer care representative
$11,199
Leslie Sommer
Kensington, CA
web developer
Ryan Stander
Liberty, MO
college student

Cyd starts with $200 the Wizard. At the TV time out, he leads with $2800 to Ryan's $2600. Leslie just got out of the hole with $400.

Cyd finds the Daily Double under $1000 Diet & Exercise Books. He bets the level on this: in Elisabeth Hasselbeck's "The G-Free Diet", the G is this protein that some people can't tolerate. "What is gluten?" Correct for $4800! He drops to $4600. Leslie ties him, while Ryan has $3200 and the first pick in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Biblical Megadeaths. Cyd finds one... then finds the other. The first was under $2000 the NFL. He wagers $3600 on this: when a team switched cities in 1988, this new full team name contained 2 birds, one real & one mythic. "Who are the Phoenix Cardinals?" Correct for $12,600! He bets $3000 on $800 Play Time... there's only 1 character in "The Belle of Amherst" & it's her. "Who is... Deo Volente?" That's the second time he gave that response... and for the second time it's going to cost him. Emily Dickinson drops him to $10,000. He rises to $15,600 to Ryans' $16,800. Leslie has $7400.

Final Jeopardy! in "The Nuclear Age": this country has 104 nuclear reactors, more than any other country. Correct response: what is the United States?

Cyd goes all-in almost and wins $31,199, giving him $42,398.

Who wants to make a deal with Wayne this Thursday? Linda (Black Eyed Peas and Collared Greens), Irina (Grapes) and Ryan (Convict) do. Linda gets Curtain #1, and Jonathan shows some close up pics of what the prize is. Wayne wants to buy the curtain back for $600...$700...$900...NO DEAL! Linda gets the curtain, and behind it is a new kitchen worth $7,765! Wayne offers $500 to Irina. No? $700. Yes? Yes. Irina takes $700, so she doesn't get a gallery of Zonk artwork (ZONK!). Now what about Ryan? Wayne offers $500...$700...$90..$1,100...$1,300...NO DEAL! Ryan wants the curtain, and gets a new motorcycle worth $6,590! Three nice deals to start off the show.

Let's continue the run with Chad (Veterinarian) and Angela (Sick Dalmatian). It's time for them to play Time is Money. They select numbers 13, 8, 5 and 1. 5 had 4 seconds. 1 has 2 seconds. 8 has 0 seconds. They still have 9 seconds on the board ($9,000) which they can hold on to...or they can get a new bedroom worth $2,147. #13 is the anniversary, so they are going to go for it. #13 has...ZERO SECONDS! So they win $9,000 in cold hard cash! Sweet!

Suzanne (Teletubby) gets a bankroll with a $100 bill on the outside. We also see a jewelry box, which contains jewelry. Suzanne wants the cash, and turns down junk jewelry (ZONK!). The bankroll has $1,800 cash, which is not a bad haul.

Wayne wants 2 ladies with purses. Robin (Hot Dog) and Marilyn (Leathered Civilian) will give Wayne their purses. Wayne, in turn will pay them $20 per kilo. Or he can give them Curtain #2. They both want the curtain, as they should, because Kilos are pretty big. In fact, it's only 6 kilos for $120. So instead, both ladies get fitness packages worth $2,068. That's a nice weighty deal.

Tiffany brings down a bunch of envelopes for the next deal. The 4 envelopes are for 4 world travelers. Allison (Masquerader), Yael (Striped Dress), Cheryl (Punk Rocker) and Paula (Zombie) are your designated travelers. Yael gets 'North', which she can keep or trade for Curtain #1. She'll trade for the curtain and gives up a trip to Canada worth $7,648! Yael, who's from Canada, doesn't get to go home, but she will go home and enjoy her new Flat Screen TV and Voodoo Box worth $1,778. Allison has the 'South' envelope. Jonathan has a small box. Allison keeps the envelope and turns down a broken compass (ZONK!). Allison is going to go to Palm Beach, Florida on a spa getaway worth $6,481! Now onto Paula, with her 'East' envelope, which she can trade for Curtain #3. She trades for the curtain and won't be going to NYC on a $5,049 musician excursion. Behind the curtain: a Zonk Gym set (ZONK!) Now Paula has 'West', and can take Curtain #2. She does, and she doesn't go to Zonk Airlines (ZONK!). Instead, she gets a new jetski worth $6,699!

Lots of fun goodies have been given out, but this one is the biggest: The Big Deal of the Day worth $19,440. Who wants a shot at it?

TRADE LIST:
Chad/Angela: $9,000
Linda: $7,765
Paula: $6,699
Ryan: $6,590
Allison: $6,481
Robin: $2,068
Marilyn: $2,068
Suzanne: $1,800
Yael: $1,778
Irina: $700
Paula: Johnathan Mangum's Workout

Will Chad and Angela give up 9 grand? No way. Will Linda give up her new kitchen? She will and selects Door #3. Behind Door #2...the cash vault worth $4,578. Behind her door...a Digital Photo Studio worth $2,050. She could use it, but could she have used a NEW CHEVROLET HHR!!! That's worth $19,440, and despite a show where a lot of fun stuff was won, no one is winning that.

Wendy Weiss, Michael Boyd, Kurt Zielinski, and Sabrina Smith kick off Drew's #501 with an HDTV worth $1549. Kurt gets to roll the dice for a Hyundai Genesis. First number: 2. The rolls... 3, 6, 2, 4. He goes higher for both of the last ones, since the first two were on the button. The price.. .$23,513... Oops.

Sabrina wins a $2247 fire engine bed with Toys "R" Us $1000 GC. Next, a $3590 steam shower, a $1500 dinette, and a $3795 dartboard. One of these is wrong. Is it the dartboard? Nope. The dinette was $2000.

Michael gets a $2199 dishwasher. Next up, 2 for the Price of 1. The two: biking accessories and a pair of motorscooters. Let's play with the accessories...

9 8 1
$ $ $
3 5 4

He gets the 4 for free. Is it $954? Got it!

Kurt was looking forward to the Showcase Showdown... and now he's got a reason to, because he wins it. Alan Parker wins a $760 set of garden tools. Next, we go to Scott's Grocery Game for a kitchen island. We're making salad with Hefty paper bowls, Fresh Express salad mix, Mrs. Cubbison's croutons, Athenos feta cheese, and Wish Bone raspberry vinaigrette. First, two bowls. One is $2.89. Two: $5.78. Next, three salad mixes at $1.29 each, three croutons at $1.79 each, and two salad dressings at $3.29 a pop. Total: $21.60... and he played it so well, too.

Roger Obritsch wins a $1422 Swarovski crystal and scarves. Now let's take those to the Grand Canyon in Bonkers. The price is not $8724. Low low high high? No. Low high high low? No. Low high twice? No. High low low high? No. High high low low? No. It was low low high low...$3541.

Wendy gets one more shot at it with a Swiss army knife. Price: $1400. Winner... Brianne Walads. Can she win a Mazda 3 in Pathfinder? She gets a $59 duffle bag, but that's it. She misses the $21,952 car.

Alan spins out $1000 on the Big Wheel. First up in the Showcases, an office group, a PC with Quicken software and trips to Grand Cayman & Hong Kong with $1000. Top winner Alan passes, and Kurt bids $31,185. Alan gets snow and sun with a trip to Whistler with Ski-Doo and a trip to Maui with waverunner. He tags it at $24,000. Actual price: $31,340, a difference of $8340. Actual price of Kurt's Showcase... $21,662. And Alan wins $33,100 in cash and prizes.

Last night, we broke $6M in cash and prizes. Tonight we head to 7 as we still are eating our way through Europe!

The $1,000 Tossup is FOOD AND DRINK. Sarah Mason from Colorado Springs, CO solved SWISS CHEESE. She is a grad student and loves to run. She finished her first marathon and a former Miss Colorado USA contestant. Michael Schultz from Indio, CA. He is an accounting specialist for a school district. He is married, with 2 cats and loves computers and NASCAR. He is a self-confessed nerd. Frankie Everett from Portland, Oregon. She is a financial aid adminstrator.

The $2,000 Tossup is THING. Michael has $2,000 with DINNER MENU. He will start the Eggland's Best Eggs Jackpot Round, but first we add this to the wheel. It's an AMA Waterways Rhine River Cruise worth $8,100. It's SHOW BIZ. He picks up the Wild Card and the Rhine Cruise. He dominates and solves TELEVISION MEDICAL DRAMA HOUSE(with a very bad emphasis on the puzzle because Michael never saw it) for a total of $10,600 in cash, cruise and the WC .

Frankie gets her shot and starts the next round. It's BEFORE AND AFTER. She picks up the Ricardo Beverly Hills Luggage GC, but misses a vowel. Sarah misses. Michael misses. Frankie hits 2 $3,500 L's and solves OLD SPICE GIRLS for $8,150 and the luggage. She has $9,150.

The Mystery Round is sponsored by IHOP. It's PHRASE...and a PRIZE PUZZLE. Sarah starts. Will she risk $1,500 for a shot at $10K. She does(with her mom's encouragement from home) and hits it! Next spin, Bankrupt. Ouch. Michael hits Lose A Turn. Frankie Bankrupts. Sarah hits Lose A Turn. Michael solves HAVING A BALL WISH YOU WERE HERE for $3,050 and a trip to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico at the Pueblo Bonito Rose worth $5,957! If you have LD8746692 and are Lorena D from California, you are going to Cabo! Remember the SONY CARD BONUS! He is up to $19,607 in cash and trips!

The $3,000 Tossup is EVENT. Sarah has $4,000 with FEEDING FRENZY. She will start WHAT ARE YOU DOING? She leads us into a FINAL SPIN worth $1,700 a letter. Frankie solves GRABBING ALL THE ATTENTION for $5,100. She finishes in 2nd place with a very nice total of $14,250 in cash and luggage. Sarah leaves with $4,000. Michael wins with $19,607 in cash, trips and the WC!

The front game total is $37,857! Can our nerd and NASCAR fan Michael win in the bonus round?

The bonus round is sponsored by Maxwell House. From here on out, Maxwell House will donate $2,500 to Feeding America for every bonus round win.

He lands on the &. His category tonight is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE and his choices of D P C O and his WC choice of F we have:

P _ R T   O F
T _ E   _ _ R _ _ _ N


It wasn't PART OF THE BARGAIN for him to win the bonus round. He lost $35,000. But he leaves with $19,607 in cash and prizes!
