The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11am ET/10am CT on CBS (times vary by market)
Host: Bob Barker

In today's Showcase, it's Pricilla Brown, who won a grandfather clock en route to a Bonus Game win of a wave lamp and a beard/moustache trimmer - but alas, no Ford Focus, versus Elaine Crandall, who won a metal detector in her one-bid, but lost a trip to St. Thomas playing Range Game. The first Showcase, designed to assist you in playing hooky - not that we would endorse that or anything - features video phones, a trip to Colorado, a balloon tour, and a ski boat. Pricilla passes to Elaine, who bids $21,500, a difference of over $27,000. Pricilla gets a dining group with dinnerware, a CD jukebox, and a spa, bidding $19,000. It's only off by about $9000, giving Pricilla the day with $31,175.

Host: Frank Nicotero

Players: John (ice cream truck driver from Lakewood, CA) vs. Monique (bartender from LA)

Panel: Kevin (Concord, CA), Eugenia (Shiprock, NM), & Rodel (LA)

John tells Monique that he has her ice cream right there. And he pretty much hammers the point home, leading $1100 to $600 going into the Wager of Death: if you're getting your horse ready for the trail, where do you put the bit? Correct: in its mouth.

Both take on Rodel... Roll tape... "The mouth?" Right answer is a good bet. Neither one of them take it... but Monique still has $100, which she can keep, OR she can risk it for a chance at $100 grand. She's taking the risk.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Host: Meredith Vieira

We're back with Howard Johnson from Ottawa, IL, who parlayed his love of Monty Python into a walk-on role in the "Life of Brian". He's hoping to parlay the $300 he won so far into $1 million, but first, we have to get the $1000 milestone... and he does. He goes to $2000... Then $4000... Then $8000... Then $16,000... and the audience is called into action. In the 1965 movie, "The Sound of Music", who is the oldest of the seven von Trapp children? NYC returns with Liesl, 55 percent. AOL is still down. Howard locks it in... and he's got $16,000 and is going for $25,000...

In most movie theaters, the film is projected onto the screen at a rate of how many frames per second? a) 20 b) 24 c) 28 d) 32. He hopes that it's still what it used to be, B. It is! And Howard's got $25,000.

For $50,000: According to legend, who spread his coat over a puddle so that Queen Elizabeth I could walk over it? a) Walter Raleigh b) Oliver Cromwell c) Thomas More d) Francis Drake. First thing that popped into his head was A, Walter Raleigh, final answer, good for $50,000!

For $100,000: In 1975, both houses of Congress voted to restore whose full US citizenship? a) WEB Du Bois b) Alger Hiss c) Aaron Burr d) Robert E. Lee. The 50/50 leaves B and D. He goes with D... and he's got $100,000!

For $250,000: In 1960, what author stabbed his second wife, Adele, with a penknife during an argument at a party? a) Jack Kerouac b) JD Salinger c) Norman Mailer d) Arthur Miller. He's almost comfortable to guess, but he may need a lifeline. He thinks D, but it could be A. He's going to call up Bob Harris. Yes, THAT Bob Harris, the one that just won his J! TOC game. His response: "Norman Mailer." Without hearing the question! "Well, I certainly hope so, I'd be a fool if I don't!" He goes with it... and he's right!

For $500,000: What precursor to "SOS" did the Titanic use when it first signaled on its radio for help? a) NC b) CQD c) SOE d) SSSDDD. He remembers knowing it, but he can't remember when, so he uses his final lifeline. Correct: B. New question: In 1976, Viking 1 made its historic Mars landing when it touched down on a region named what? a) Plains of Gold b) Utopia c) Elysium Field D) Mount Olympus. He thinks it's an educated guess, but isn't THAT educated, as he RUNS with $250,000. He thought it was C... It was A. Good move!
