Melanye leads, 1795-1175, going into the final round of a Marvelous Movie trailer of... "Here Come the G-Men" (Andy) OR "Public Enemy #4" (Teri) OR "Dick Tracy vs. Cueball" (John)? Correct: John. David is left with 375 after betting on Andy. Melanye is left with 797 after betting on Andy, making her the winner.

Melanye's been flirting with the announcer all night, so why not take him to the Barrage. Up for grabs tonight: a Brookstone shopping spree (under nine letters) or a trip to Puerto Vallarta (under one). John and Melanye get seven to leave behind A S H. Melanye takes the A for her husban's birthday... and they're going to Mexico!

First round: when a woman goes on a shopping spree, where does she hide her purchases... (5)? Raquel fires prematurely with stroller. Not there. Rest of the question: ... from her husband? Tracey gets #4, the car. Tina hides in the closet for number one. Under the bed also makes the survey. The Perezes try to steal with the garage. No t there, and the Pilliters are on the board with 74. Other answers: drawer/dresser and basement.

Second round: real or fictional, someone with "Simon" in their name (full board). Number one answer... Paul Simon (heh, surprise). Tina gets control of the question. Also on the board, Simon Seville of the Chipmunks, "Simple Simon", "Simon Says"... and wasn't there a Simon in the Bible? Yeah, he's up there, too. The Perezes steal with Neil Simon, giving them the 67. Other answers: Simon Cowell and Simon Legree.

Double round: a farm animal a turkey might imitate to escape being eaten during Thanksgiving (full board). Melanie has a cow, but Manuel has number one, a chicken. Other animals: a pig, a duck, a goose, and a dog. Perezes get the sweep, as they lead 249-74 going into the...

Triple round: something you can tell the guy sitting next to you on a plane forgot to do today (4). Rebecca's brushing teeth beats Matt's deodorant, 2-3. No answers from the challengers, but the number one from the Pilliters, as they shower (or they could've shaved) their way to...

Sudden death: something from which people want quick relief. Jenni fires with headache to win, 359-249.

Tina and Tracey promise to do better in Fast Money this time.

1) Something you own that you talk to as if it were a person (pet).
2) How many kids are in today's large family (four).
3) Something you might see on a bathroom floor (rug).
4) A tool that a child might have a toy version of (hammer).
5) Something that a man likes to show off (car).

Tracey talks into her brush, but nails three number ones for 148. Already better than yesterday. Tina takes it home for the $20,000, giving them a two day total of $20,690.

Second Michael is Michael Lee. He just came back from battle to win a chair and ottoman in his round 3 one-bid, but the lifetime-fan (who says he has the first three years of the show's run on video tape thanks to his mom) can drive away in a Jeep Wrangler if he can avoid the Temptation of a wine server cart, a canister vacuum, the fish bowl o' money, and a pair of underwater cameras. He does... and takes away the $19,850 car!

So who goes to the Showcase? Mr. Morris. He faces the winner of the second-half, and if the first half was a win-fall, then part two was just a fall. Nary a game was won, but Kari Spencer would come close in more ways than one, as she gets a set of jewelry boxes and armoires, but can't convert into a win in Money Game, only settling for $290.

First at the Showcase is a fridge/freezer, a new dining room with dinnerware, and a 65" HDTV. Michael passes it to Kari, who bids $15,000, a difference of $2658. Michael has a salute to the four seasons: swimwear for summer, a riding lawn mower for spring, a trip to the Bahamas for winter, and a Hi-Lo trailer for autumn. Michael bets $17,000, a difference of over $13,000. Kari wins the Showcase with $18,998, but Michael Lee is today's big winner with $28,032.

Other winners:
Robin Hamilton: ComfortSpa; grandfather clock & day bed with sleep set winning Switch?
Shirley Zooback: Barbie electronics
Timothy Lane: bench press

Julianne & Daniel get Croton his & hers watches and half a year at 24Hour Fitness; Kim & Jmeka are blanked. This game is no contest, as Julianne & Daniel take it, 550-150. 

STYD Round for a trip to Paris: Julianne & Daniel get a Shari's Berries, a set of Chicago Cutlery, an HSN.com shopping spree, a Yamaha keyboard, an Ashley entertainment center, and a Michael C. Fina pendant. Total stash: $2109.

Who or what is edamame? Well, from what I hear, it's quite tasty. Sameh lead, $1100-$700, going into the Wager of Death: what sappy greeting card company is also a sappy cable channel? Correct: Hallmark.

Sameh goes with Gracia, while Kayt sticks with Tara. Tara's right on with "Hallmark". Kayt's also right on, giving her $1400. Gracia is also right with Hallmark. Sameh's also right with $1490 to take home, unless he wants to jump in the pool with the other tourney participants. "Uh... $1490."

Tomorrow, we get ready for the big game with the Street Smarts Sports Spectacular V with Brian Cox and John Salley.

Jimmie Whorton of Aurora, CO, a suburb of Denver, is next. She and her husband Coy have seven marriages between them. Let's hope lucky seven can traverse the 15. She already goes through five, getting $1000. She needs to ask the audience at $4000: In Greek mythology, Nemesis is the goddess of what? Both audiences returns with retribution. She goes with it... and instant retribution and $4000 is hers!

She needs to 50/50 $8000, which of these illnesses is caused by a bacteria, not a virus, to chickenpox (virus) and strep throat (bacteria S. aureus). She calls cousin Mark. "I had chickenpox... " No answer from him, so Jimmie just goes with strep throat. That's the money answer.

But that's all the money she gets, as she opts out of $16,000: By definition, an ombudsman is an official whose duty is to do which of the following? Correct: investigate complaints. But $8000 ain't hay.

Barry Lander is next, straight out of San Diego. He considered Millionaire a calling. He calls the audience to swallow Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" for $300. He'll take a guaranteed $1000 into tomorrow's show.
