  The Lewises play today against...
 
Hirsch (Kevin, Dianna, Shawn, Ryan, Derek)
Tampa
Lewis (Audrey, Frank, Aaron, Yolanda, Alex)
Los Angeles
$22,365, three days

Bullseye Round
- $1000: something that goes great with peanut butter. JELLY gives Audrey $1000.
- $2000: something you hope your dog doesn't do while riding in your car. Frank GOES #1 OR #2 for $2000.
- $3000: a part of your body that you'd be shocked to hear your grandmother got pierced. It wasn't the chest but right below it on her... BELLY BUTTON, giving Aaron $3000.
- $4000: a household item that gives off steam. It wasn't the iron or the dryer, as you might hear the steaming whistle sound from a... TEAPOT/COFFEEPOT.
- $5000: something you might ask the person behind you in a movie to stop doing. Derek closes it up with TALKING, giving Hirschs $20,000 to the Lewises $21,000.

Single: 100 women, which state do you think has the best looking men? Passed to the challengers.

1. California 38         5. New Jersey 5
2. New York 30           6. Virginia 3
3. Texas 7               7. Colorado 2

1. Cook/Bake 27          5. Type 6
2. Home repair/Remodel24 6. Build furniture 4
3. Make/Use computer11
4. Crochet/Knit/Sew 9


Triple: it seems like anything goes these days, but an occasion where you can't wear jeans.

1. Wedding 36            5. Church 7
2. Funeral 16            6. Fancy restaurant 3
3. Work/Job interview 9  7. Ballet/Opera 3
4. Black-tie event 8

The Hirsch family forced sudden death when they came up with works one of the two remaining answers. But the Lewis family took the sudden death round where they knew something a cheerleader shakes which were the pom-poms (68).

This time, Audrey goes up with Yolanda in the Fast Money round for a chance at $21,000.

Audrey didn't do well on her answers with two goose eggs, and Yolanda didn't do much on her answers either, with one of them resulting in a blank. Their four-day total now stands at $22,990 and one win away from a new Chrysler 300C.

 

Jeopardy!

Host: Alex Trebek

: www.jeopardy.com  
  Jess channeled his knowledge into over $25,000 and another day on the SPS lot...
 
Jesse Achtenberg
Washington, DC
documentary filmmaker
$25,200
Jordan Brand
Westchester, NY
anesthesiologist
Suzanne Tetreault
Vienna, VA
lawyer

Jesse starts with $200 Gems & Jewelry, where Suzanne finds the Daily Double under $600. She bets the max of $1000 on this: L. Frank Baum had this birthstone, the same as the name of a city he created. "What's the emerald?" Correct for $1400! She would lose on the last clue alongside Jesse, giving Jordan a commanding lead, $8000 to her $3800. Jesse's $2400 will give him the go-ahead in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $1200 That's Foul. Jordan finds the first Daily Double under $1600 What's Next on the List? He bets $2000 on Vice Presidents: Nixon, Johnson, Humphrey... "Who is Ford?" No, it was Spiro Agnew, dropping him to $11,600. He gets his money back on the next clue. Last category is Ballet Dancers. Jordan finds the other under $1200. He bets $1000 on this: he was born in Kiev around 1889 to parents who were celebrated dancers from Poland. "Who is Ballanchine?" No, it was Nijinsky, leaving him with $13,000, where he ends the round against Suzanne's $12,200. Jesse's $8400 means that it's not over yet.

Final Jeopardy! in "British History": dying in 2009 at age 113, British WWI vet Henry Allingham was the last original surviving member of this group, formed 1918. Correct response: what is the Royal Air Force?

We're going to have a new champion... and his name is Jordan! He takes away $24,405! Jesse leaves with $26,200.

Who wants to make a deal for a TV? We start this Wednesday, show #100 in the history of this version of Let's Make a Deal, with a TV worth $1,100, and both David (Gladiator) and Heidi (Court Jester) both have it. Now David can trade for the curtain or keep the TV. He keeps the TV, and doesn't get a grill set with a year of steak worth $2,967. Now Heidi can keep her TV or take the small box. She trades and gets a sapphire and diamond ring worth $3,557.

Because it's show #100, it's time for the first annual Let's Make a Deal 'Dealie Awards'. We go for best hat, which goes to Eric Matthews (Pharaoh head). He has a Dealie (a small golden statue), which he can keep or go for Curtain #2. He goes for the curtain and passes up on $2,000. Instead of a Dealie, Eric gets a Zonkie (ZONK)! It goes well with the hat though.

Wayne gives money to Aaron (1950's Nerd). Wayne has some 1950's trivia. Name a president elected in the 1950's. FDR? Not even close. It was Dwight Eisenhower, so no money for him. More trivia: The Fonz said what? Ayyyy for $100.

Sabrina is a smooth operator, and she take a smooth trip to Philadelphia worth $5,166. We have a pound of dollars, 20 pounds of nickels, and 30 pounds of dimes. What's valued at more? Sabrina says the nickels, which gets the audience booing profusely. The dimes are worth $400, and Wayne offers a bailout of a set of golf clubs worth $2,740. Sabrina wants to continue. Pound of dollars: $490. Wayne adds $400 to the deal to make it $3,140 to quit. The nickels are...$160. That's a loss and Sabrina walks away with nothing.

More Dealies to give out. Best impression of a toddler by an adult goes to Kristin Warren, who can give up her Dealie for Curtain #1. She does, and gives up $200 for a new kitchen worth $7,765! Nicely done!

If Porscha (Masquerade Partygoer) also did nicely, she can win a computer and printer worth $1,600, or a new spa worth $8,695...or a NEW VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WORTH $18,305!!!! It's time to play Finish Line. 5 Hearts get the car, 4 Spades get the Spa, 3 Diamonds get the computer and 3 Clubs get the Zonk. Let's get picking: Diamond, Heart, Spade, Club, Heart, Heart, Spade, Spade (1 away from a Spa), Diamond, Diamond! Will Porscha quit with the computer? No she won't. Let's keep picking...Diamond, Club (1 more for a Zonk)...Heart (1 more from a car)...HEART! Porscha won the CAR! Is she risking the $18,305 car and a $1,600 computer for an $8,695 spa? Not a chance, and Porscha is a very happy trader.

After a thank you to Monty Hall (very classy), we have 2 friends that have choices of money. Domenick (nurse) selects the envelope with a $1 on the outside and leaves the $100 envelope for his friend Dominique (Golfer who's also a birthday boy). Will Dominick trade his envelope for the box? He will. In the envelope: $101. Behind the box: a motorcycle worth $5,645! Now can keep his envelope, which he will, and doesn't get the Small Box, which was a trip to Auto Racing worth $5,062. The Envelope has $300 for the birthday boy.

We have the last Dealie: best human portraying a real animal. The Dealie goes to...Terry Peppin the cat! Now she can keep her dealie or go for the curtain. She keeps the Dealie and gives up a Zonk Cake (ZONK!). The Dealie has $2,500, and we have a very happy kitty cat.

But someone could be a lot happier with a Big Deal of the Day worth $24,565. And the list of nominations are...

TRADE LIST:
Porscha: $19,905
Kristin: $7,765
Dominick; $5,645
Heidi: $3,557
Terry: $2,500
David: $1,100
Dominique: $300
Aaron: $100
Eric: Trader with the best hat that made the worst deal.
Sabrina: Penny wise, pound foolish

Don't even bother asking Porscha. Kristin is nominated to go for the Big Deal of the day, and she accepts! She thinks the big award is behind Door #3. Behind Door #2 is the cash vault worth $1,891. Next up is...her door, which has a new bedroom worth $6,248. The big Deal was behind Door #1, and today is was a CHEVY EL DORADO WORTH $24,565!!! Not a bad #100th show. Tune in tomorrow to see if #101 can be better.

Melanie wins a $2430 Gucci handbag. Will she slip the keys to a Hyundai Genesis inside once she's done with Lucky Seven? The first number is 2. She gets to a price of $24,76_ with four bucks remaining. Her last guess is 5... a 3 gives up 2, and a dollar to buy the car, giving her a buck to get a few drops or a tacky keychain!

Mia Lawson goes down and up thanks to a $2399 motorscooter. She'll add on a pair of exercise bikes, a home cinema sound system, and a pair of floor lamps if she wins Eazy as 1-2-3. 1, the stereo... $849. 2, the exercise bikes... $1720. 3, the lamps... $3250! Winner!

Michael takes the first spot in the Showcase... Meanwhile, Sherice takes away a $1100 camcorder. Will she film herself in a trailer with camping accessories in Pick-a-Pair? Gold Medal flour: $3.49. Act restoring mouthwash... $4.99. She keeps the flour and takes McStevens' creme brulee cocoa mix... $3.49 is a winner!

Ryan gets a MacBook worth $1149. That could lead him to a Mini Cooper in That's Too Much! He thinks $24,291 is too much, and that's.... just a mite short. It was the next one over, $26,899.

Josephine Rangel wins $3054 chaise lounges with umbrella. More seating on deck with Flip Flop. The price is not $8639. She flops... $8693 is a winner!

Sherice takes the Top Winner nod in the Showcases. First up, a washer/dryer, a steam shower with massages & facials for a year, and a trip to Switzerland. Sherice passes, and Michael bids $16,300. Sherice gets a trip to Las Vegas, a cruise of the Caribbean, and a sailboat. She bids $22,500. Actual price... $37,451, a difference of $14,951. Actual price of Michael's Showcase... $19,103. He wins with a difference of $2803 and a total of $21,088!

Air time: check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
On the Web
: www.millionairetv.com
  Patrick McDaniel (Indianapolis, IN) begins this third day of Million Dollar Movie Week with $15,000 and the Double Dip.

[$25,000] (The Need for Speed)
"I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast" is a memorable line from what Best Picture-winning film?
A: Chariots of Fire
B: Forrest Gump
C: Unforgiven
D: Million Dollar Baby

Patrick wants the $25,000, so he uses the Double Dip. He tries A... and he got it! He then gets $50,000, and that is followed by this...

[$100,000] (The Bicycle Thief)
In Vittorio De Sica's classic film "The Bicycle Thief," the main character needs a bicycle to do what job?
A: Repair door locks
B: Paint street signs
C: Deliver milk
D: Hang posters

Patrick has heard of that movie, but he hasn't seen it. So, this is where he stops. He was thinking D, which would have been right, but hey, he does have $50,000!

Miranda Sloan (Lakeland, FL) - Graduate academic advisor
:15 - Character Study, Movie Genres, Golden Tunes, NETFLIX CLIP, Animation
:30 - Harrison Ford, MOVIE STAR Q, Mary Poppins, Alfred Hitchcock, Bond Girls
:45 - J. Lo Movies, Shirley Temple, Romancing the Stone, Clint Eastwood, When Movies Attack

[$500] (Character Study)
In a 2008 review, who was described as "fifteen feet of lime-green power, with the temperament of a nasty child"?
A: The Love Guru
B: The Incredible Hulk
C: Indiana Jones
D: Kung Fu Leprechaun

Miranda hesitates, then turns to the audience for help with 3 seconds on the clock. 95% have chosen the right answer, B, which she locks in with 1 second on the clock. She then makes it to $5,000, seeing a clip from "Michael Clayton" along the way, and breezes through a couple more questions (including one asked by Vanessa Williams) before seeing this...

[$12,500] (Mary Poppins)
In a famous scene from "Mary Poppins," Mary and the children have a tea party in what unusual location?
A: At the bottom of the sea
B: Inside the bell of Big Ben
C: Onboard a pirate ship
D: Floating near the ceiling

This time, Miranda asks the Experts, A.O. Scott & Michael Phillips, and they're going with D. Miranda goes with D as well... and that is correct!

[$15,000] (Alfred Hitchcock)
Two of Alfred Hitchcock's films -- one that he directed in 1934 and the other in 1956 -- share what title?
A: The Man Who Knew Too Much
B: To Catch a Thief
C: The Lady Vanishes
D: The Wrong Man

The Double Dip is used here. Miranda starts by picking A... and she's right! She then gets $25,000 on a good guess, before facing this...

[$50,000] (J. Lo Movies)
In what Jennifer Lopez movie does J. Lo's character confess to a love interest that she belongs to a Scrabble club?
A: Jersey Girl
B: Maid in Manhattan
C: The Wedding Planner
D: Gigli

After taking some time to think about this, Miranda picks C. The answer... C! That is all for today; Miranda will see the $100,000 question tomorrow!
