- Olympic Swimming for 20... Only Jared missed that one.

- Kids on a Bus for 40... Crystal, Corrina, and Megan score here.
- Bottle Smash for 50... Crystal is still perfect! Corrina and DJ continue their winning ways as well.

The decider for 100... Volleyball. Crystal and Corrina miss it. Will this cost them? In first with 210... DJ! In second with 160... Megan and Charlie! Final slot goes to... Crystal (150)! Corrina and Jared are going down the Brain Drain with Spongebob DVDs and a bucket of slime.

LEVEL 2: Today, Jeff's Super Fantastic True Chronicle of Truth That Is Absolutely True takes place at Myth Mountain Summer Camp. Megan and Crystal are made into myths, leaving DJ and Charlie to settle this in...

KNOCKOUT ROUND: Charlie sets up sudden death... DJ makes the match to win the match. Charlie... has to sit and hold. He, Megan, and Crystal leave with a Southern California CityPass.

LEVEL 3: THE FINAL STAGE: The 4x4 stage is worth a Polaroid camera pack, the 5x5 stage gets you a Diamondback bike. Do it all from BrainSurge, and you're going to Circus Circus in Las Vegas! Little under 67.5 seconds left on the clock for the 6x6. And there's the win at 45 seconds! And here comes the slime!

Kristen Hilliard is pregnant. She also has case #5, but that's quickly exchanged for case #12. #6 (Scotty) - $50. #18 (Stephanie) - $400. #22 (Howard) - $500. #13 (Jenny) - $300. #2 (Frannie) - $25,000. That's the largest one opened, so the top 5 cases are still up there. OFFER: $21,000. NO DEAL!

Let's cut the umbilical cord on 5 more cases. #14 (Quan) - $50,000. #17 (Timothy) - $7,500. #11 (Dan) - $5,000. #7 (Fran) - PENNY! #9 (Jen) - $100. Top 4 cases are still in play. OFFER: $24,000. NO DEAL! 4 cases to open.

#10 (Jennifer) $25. #20 (Tova) - $2,500. #8 (Bacchi) - $75,000. #4 (Amy) - $10. This is a very nice board right now...

$1, $5, $200, $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, $250,000, $500,000
OFFER: $39,000

Only 2 cases to open, so all 3 big cases can't go away. NO DEAL! 2 cases to open.

#21 (Ignacio) - $250,000
#5 (Beth) - Kristen's old case held...$500,000!!!!! She had the money!!!!!!!

A big case is still left, but it's still a terrible round.

$1, $5, $200, $1,000, $10,000, $100,000
OFFER: $7,500

If the $100,000 goes away, it's game over. She's going to go for it. NO DEAL! Avoid the Tropical Storm case...

#16 (Ayana) - $1,000
#3 (Wise) - $5

$1, $200, $10,000, $100,000
OFFER: $16,000

Only one case to open. She's going for it. NO DEAL!...

#1 (Laurine) - $1

$200, $10,000, $100,000
OFFER: $25,000

Interesting board now. Should Kristen find the $200, the least she can walk off with is $10,000. She's not going to risk it. DEAL FOR $25,000! That's a nice amount, but...SHE HAD THE $100,000 CASE!!!! So no $500,000, no $100,000, and only a fraction of what she could have won. More fun tomorrow.
 

Jeopardy!

Host: Alex Trebek

Gila Stadler
New York City
molecular epidemiologist
$3000
Andrew Fechner
Montclair, NJ
television programmer
Diane Haltigan
Norfolk, VA
software engineer

Thanks to some questionable betting by her opponents, Gila wins the right to call herself a champion. She goes with $200 Countries in Space to start us off. At the TV timeout, she has $2600 to Andrew's $2800. Diane has half of Andrew's total.

Gila leads with $4000 when she finds the Daily Double under $1000 US Firsts. She tried to add $1000 to that lead on this: the USA's first housing projects were built in Austin in 1939 with the help of this congressman on the rise. "Who is LBJ?" Correct for $5000! At the half, Andrew catches up to her to tie with $6000 a piece, leaving Diane's $3400 to start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Oscar-Winning Song Lyrics. Andrew finds the first Daily Double under $800 Mathletes. He fronts $2000 on this: he thought, in math the last letters should stand for unknowns & the first letters for known quantities--therefore it was. "Who is Descartes?" If you picked up on the clue-within-a-clue, you got it. Andrew... didn't. He loses on Pythagoras, going to $6400. Diane finds the other under $1600 Shakespearean Rhyme Time. She bets $2000 on this: Prospero's daughter's large Southern porches. "What are Miranda's verandas?" Correct for $12,200! She goes to $13,000 to $15,200 for Andrew. Gila has $7600.

Remember, if you're on the east coast and you're an adult, you're testing tomorrow!

Final Jeopardy! in "Sports Cities": it's the only city whose teams won the Super Bowl & the Stanley Cup in the same calendar year. Correct response: what is Pittsburgh (2009)?

Gila's right. Andrew... is right as well! He wins $26,001! Gila leaves with $5000.

Eric (Football Player) is the first dealer to play this week on Let's Make a Deal. He gets $700 from Wayne, that he can spend on 3 curtains: Trip for $300, Tech for $500 or Wheels for $700. Or he can keep all of his money, which he won't do - he goes for Wheels. Behind 'Trip': A Whitewater Rafting Adventure worth $5,265. Behind 'Tech': a ton of busted computer monitors (ZONK!). He's got some wheels unless he wants $500 from Wayne. Eric wants the wheels, and he gets a new motorcycle worth $4,583. So not a bad opener.

Next up is Watson (Gift) who gets to spell out a deal. We start with 'C'. He can keep it or go with Curtain #1, and what he doesn't want, Tanya (Peace Child). Watson thinks it's 'Cash' and keeps it, so Tanya gets the curtain - unless she wants $500...$600...$700...$800...NO DEAL! Tanya wants the curtain, and she gets a junk office set (ZONK!). Next up for Watson... 'C-O'. It's not cash. Its it a Corvette? Maybe. So Watson can bail out for the Box, and what he doesn't want Karen (Mrs. Claus) gets. Watson bails out for the Box, and he now gets Snowboarding gear worth $2,230. Next up...'C-O-R'. Wayne offers $600, but Karen thinks it's a Corvette. Wayne offers $600...$800...$1,000...NO DEAL! Karen will keep it and gets. not a Corvette, but 'Corn' = 5,486 pieces of Corn (ZONK!) for Mrs. Santa. Ho ho ho.

Paula the peanut is next, and Wayne offers $100 for 3 uses of peanuts. We stumble to get Peanut Butter, Peanut Brittle and Peanut cooking oil, but she gets it. Cute segue.

Next up, Kelly the fairy (don't write me letters, he's dressed up as a fairy). My may have flied in, but he can drive out in a NEW SCION WORTH $15,470. Kelly has silly putty. If he guesses between 1950, 1955 or 1960 what year it was introduced, he wins the Scion. Kelly says 1955, and he could have the car, but Wayne offers $500 to not go for it. Kelly will go for it. Is it 1960...no. So noy Wayne offers $700...$800...NO DEAL! Kelly is going to go for the car, and Kelly...is not going to win. It's 1950 and Kelly will have to walk back to fairyland.

Wayne wants Sean's (radioactive worker from the UK) driver's license. he gets it, gives Sean $900, then looks for 2 ladies. He finds Katina (Partygoer in gold) and Pauleen (Egyptian Queen). Which one comes closer to his age? Katina says 23, Pauleen says 24, and Sean is...22. That's $900 for Katina, unless she wants the Big Box instead. She does and gets a broken down arcade machine (ZONK!). Now back to Sean and his $900. He can spnd it on Curtain #3 and he does, receiving a Beatles Digital Home experience worth $4,009. Does Allison come with the video game package? No, but he's got something UK-themed, which is ironically fun.

Wayne lets Jonathan select the next trader, and it's going to be Douglas (incognito Blues Brother). He's playing with 4 decks and playing for dining room furniture worth $1,875. Wayne has 4 pairs of cards. One of them has an Ace and one has a Zonk. If he selects it 2 out of 4 times, he wins the furniture. 3 out of 4 wins him a Napa Valley Getaway worth $5,327. Selection #1...ACE! Selection #2: ZONK! Selection #3: ACE! Now he can give the furniture back for a shot at the trip. He will go for it! Final selection: ZONK! No trip. No furniture. No love.

Wayne wants to give Yolanda a trip to Belgium worth $10,664! It's another guess the year that something was introduced nationally, but this time we have Lean Cuisine: 1981, 1984 or 1988? Yolanda says 1984 and Wayne offers a $500 buyout. Wayne offers $500 and she takes it. The Lean Cuisine was introduced in,,,1981. so a good move for Yolanda.

It could be a better move for some people who want the Big Deal worth $22,275. Let's see what we got:

TRADE LIST:
Eric: $4,583
Sean: $4,009
Watson: $2,230
Yolanda: $500
Paula: $100
Tanya: A Replication of Conan O'Brien's office after Friday night.
Karen: Ethanol for Santa's Sleigh
Kelly: Silly Putty Nightmares
Pauleen: Age issues
Katina: Attacked by ghost monsters
Douglas: Carded.

Will Eric fork over the motorcycle for a shot at the cash? Yes he will, and he'll select Door #3. Behind Door #2: Retro Kitchen Appliances worth $7,290. Behind Door #3...A new computer with a photo studio worth $3,639. Behind Door #1: A FORD ESCAPE AND A $1,000 GAS CARD WORTH $22,275! There's your big deal, which no one gets. Tune in tomorrow to see if anyone gets it.

Marc - 22 - North Richland Hills, TX Austin - 21 - North Richland Hills, TX Kyle - 24 - North Richland Hills, TX

Round 1: $300 per task
- Internal Bust: Kyle gets to hang out in a balloon until it explodes. We get a scream, but it wasn't loud enough to go into the red zone. PASS
- Egg Rollers: Kent gets to munch out 5 egg rolls out of a woman's hair in 30 seconds without using his hands. He doesn't even get 3 out before time expires on him. FAIL
- Captain Wheel: All Caleb has to do is stop a spinning wheel...with his crotch. it probably would have gone a lot smoother if Marc didn't push him into it. That makes Caleb yelp in pain and put them over the volume meter. FAIL

TOTAL: $300

Round 2: $400 per task
- Toy Meal: Everyone except Austin get to eat spaghetti and meatballs made of playing dough. The last time this challenge was done, it was failed miserably. This time, the challenge doesn't go over any better. FAIL.
- Little Leg Kick: Austin's turn to play. He gets to be kicked by doll legs for 20 seconds. He manages to get through it. PASS

- Brush Belt: Kyle gets to roll down a conveyor belt that features spinning wire brushes. Kyle takes the pain like a man. PASS
- Camp Fire Mix Up: Hot Chocolate, Marshmallows, Baked Beans, a hot dog and a baked potato. They all sound good, but how do they taste blended together? Not good enough for Marc, who yaks it right into the trash receptacle. FAIL

TOTAL: $1,600 = $2,700

FINAL TASK: $1,000

Swat Team. Marc faces the Swat team, who comes in and pelts him with fly swatters. There's red welts all over his body, but his friends laughter ensures that he takes all that pain for nothing. FAIL

Tonight, we're going to try for a trip to Northstar at Lake Tahoe worth $5030.

Campbell's Jackpot Round is Food & Drink. Zareen is quick to solve ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH for $5150, $7150 total.

Next, Before & After. Juan picks up the Wild Card from some Rs. And the house takes it back next spin. Dawn picks up the Lake Tahoe trip. And the house takes THAT back next spin. Zareen solves SKATING ON THIN ICE CREAM CONES for another $2200, $9350 so far.

$3000 Tossup is Around the House. ELECTRIC BLANKET gives Juan $3000. He spins for a Living Thing first. Juan buys up all the vowels... and goes Bankrupt. Dawn hits the big five for A HIBERNATING BEAR, winning $10,000 and denying Zareen the sweep. She's up to $11,000.

Next puzzle! It's Fictional Characters. Another big spin for Dawn as she solves LITTLE GREEN MEN FROM MARS for another $16,100, giving her the lead with $27,100!

NEXT puzzle! Phrase, the category. Time's running short, so we speed things up. Pat spins out $1500 a consonant. Juan solves RULE OF THUMB for another $1500, giving him $4500 for the night. Zareen leaves for St. Thomas with $18,625.

But with $27,100 cash money, it's Dawn heading to the Bonus Wheel! Given the category Thing, the standard six, and HDM O...

  Jennifer Cain (Brooklyn, NY) begins the week with $5,000 and all 3 lifelines.

In 1996, what film director started a fashion craze when he asked the New Era company to make him a red New York Yankees baseball cap?
A: Michael Moore
B: Steven Spielberg
C: Spike Lee
D: Martin Scorsese

Jennifer asks the audience, and 73% are thinking C. She trusts them with 6 seconds on the clock... and they're right!

[$12,500] (CELEBRITY Q) - asked by Joy Behar
Cynthia Hampton was the "other woman" in a recent scandal involving what high-profile politician?
A: Mark Sanford
B: John Ensign
C: John Edwards
D: Eliot Spitzer

Jennifer, feeling that she has it narrowed down to two, uses the Double Dip. Her first answer is A... which is wrong. Her second answer is B... which is right!

[$25,000] (World Leaders)
Just as Kim Jong-Il is known by the moniker "Dear Leader," in 2009 his son Kim Jong-Un was reportedly given what unique title?
A: Benevolent Communicator
B: Selfless Peer
C: Brilliant Comrade
D: Dynamic Uplifter

Since nothing is popping out at her, Jennifer asks the Expert, co-anchor of Good Morning America Weekend Edition, Kate Snow. She has heard the term "Benevolent Communicator" somewhere, so she's thinking A. Jennifer goes with that with 6 seconds left... but it's C! Darn. That means she leaves with $5,000.

Stephanie Ferreira (Albany, NY) - Student
:15 - Historic Names, 2009 Movies, Car Parts, Toys & Games, Happy Trails

A popular film character's mug shot appears on posters for the 2009 movie "Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to" where?
A: Church

Stephanie asks the audience, and 92% say C. She picks that, and of course it's C! She then goes on to secure $5,000, then soon enough, this comes up...

[$10,000] (Gadgets)
"Circumaural" and "supra-aural" are two common styles of what tech gadget?
A: TV remote
B: Computer mouse
C: Headphones
D: Electric toothbrush

Stephanie decides to ask the Expert, but Kate hasn't heard of those terms before. After hearing that Stephanie is thinking C, Kate says to go with that. So, she does lock that in with the clock at 3... and it is C!

[$12,500] (Olympic Gold)
A regular on MTV's "The Hills," Brody Jenner is the son of a famous Olympian who won a gold medal for what sport?
A: Swimming
B: Gymnastics
