Round 1: an excuse for office workers to have a party (full board). Fulton gets #3, holidays. Marci sees the boss out for #8. Brittney's sales are #6. Chrissy says happy birthday for #1. A promotion follows. How about retirement for the steal? The Hannas get it for 66. Other answers: it's Friday, new baby.

Double Round: something that always ends up costing more money than you expect it to (full board). Chrissy's car is numero uno. Other big expenditures: home improvement, the doctor's, the bill, and vay-cay. The Hannas hope that wedding steals... No! Hawks up to 233. Other answer: clothes.

Denise fires... way too early.

Triple Round: a Barbara who is admired by millions (4). Barbra Streisand.. only number two? Barbara Walters is #1 for Tandi. Barbara Bush is also up there. I'm guessing it's the President's mum. The Hawks have one more go with "Barbara Ann..." Hannas win, 354-233. Other answer: Barbara Mandrell.

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: Check local listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek

Laura Wimberly
orig. from Wilmington, DE
college teaching assistant
$4800

Mary Beth Kinnon
Cecil County, MD
sales support specialist

Victor Lee
Leonia, NJ
recent college graduate

Laura played spoiler last Friday, as the champ and the leading challenger's wagers canceled each other out.

Laura starts with $200 The Roaring 20's. At the TV time out, Victor!... what he wrote on his screen, guys... leads with $3400 to Laura's $2000. Mary Beth has $1600.

Victor finds the Daily Double under $1000 Harvard, Yale or Princeton. He bets level on this: in 1783 its Nassau Hall was the temporary capital of the US. "What is Yale?" Nope. It's Princeton, leaving him with $2800. After Zsa Zsa Gabor refuses to give the date of her birth (Alex: "19 uh...." The board: "19??"), Victor and Laura are tied for the lead at $5200. Mary Beth has $1800 and first pickings in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 4-Syllable Words. Mary Beth finds the first Daily Double under $1600 New York Times Book Review. She wagers $1200 on the Washington Post scribe who "takes a mulligan and attempts to correct for past obsequiousness." "Who is .... um, I don't know?" It's Bob Woodward., leaving her with $3000. Laura finds the other Daily Double under $1200 The Stars. She fronts $2000 on this: Nu Draconis is one of these that can be split using binoculars; for Mu Draconis, you need a strong telescope. "What is a twin star?" Either double star or binary star, but not twin star, leaving her with a tie at $8800. She recoups to $10,000 even to Victor's $8800 and Mary Beth's $1000.

Final Jeopardy! in "European History": so Prussia could dominate Germany, Bismarck excluded this country that lost the 1866 Battle of Koniggratz. Correct question: what is Austria?

All three... wrong. Laura... conservative in the wager... as conservative as one can be given the option. She wins with $2399, giving her a two-day total of $7199.

Chris & Tish start with an E, getting the EARLY 25. They follow with TIGER, but Roy & Betsy steal with CABLE. Chris & Tish steal back with MOUTH... but Chris draws the dread red. Roy & Betsy FLING another word for 25. Then Roy flings a stopper. Roy & Betsy get the draw back with BASTE and SHALL. But the round ends with no Lingo. Roy & Betsy lead it, 100-75.

Chris & Tish start round 2 with a G for a GRAND. Chris draws Lingo for 225 to the Reds' 100.

Roy & Betsy try to catch up with a W. Roy gets WOMEN and PLATE. Can they draw Lingo already? Yep. They get the lead, 300 to 225. That did it for them.

Roy & Betsy tackle the Bonus Lingo with two letters. They come up with NEWER, PRUNE, ENJOY, and SLANT, giving them $400 and four ball. Money ball today... 20. It's all Betsy... no it isn't. It's 30. After three more pulls... Roy has Lingo for $5000.

Good gosh almighty, we're up to $41,000 tomorrow.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check local listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

It's the start of another week in April, and we begin with Jess Schulman (Oakdale, PA). She's tired, having arrived in NYC at 5AM that morning. She did get some sleep, but just a little. Hopefully, this lack of sleep won't get in her way here. With that, Jess starts by knowing that the word that is commonly paired with "fancy-free" to describe someone without commitments is "footloose". She sweeps the lower tier, then soon enough...

[$4,000]
The famous Lincoln-Douglas debates took place in 1858 between two men running for what office?
A: U.S. president
B: U.S. senator
C: Governor of Illinois
D: Illinois state senator

Jess asks the audience, and 53% say A. She trusts them... but they're wrong! It's B (24%)! That sends her home with $1,000.

Next up is Larry Persaud (Denver, CO), a loan officer. He starts right away by knowing the name of the U.S. president's official anthem, "Hail to the Chief" (though I kinda like the sound of "Hail to the Duderino"). A few more questions later...

[$1,000]
What U.S. state's commemorative quarter features images of a trumpet and a pelican?
A: Arkansas
B: Missouri
C: Louisiana
D: Tennessee

Unsure of this one, Larry asks the audience. An astounding 95% chose C. He trusts them... and this time, they're right, securing $1,000 for Larry!

[$16,000]
In 1865, Friedrich Kekulé discovered the chemical structure of benzene after dreaming of a snake doing what?
A: Coiling around a tree
B: Swimming upstream
C: Attacking a turtle
D: Biting its tail

Larry calls a science teacher, Gary, but unfortunately, he doesn't get a response in on time. So, Larry then uses the 50:50, leaving A and D. He's leaning towards A, but it's still not enough for him, so he walks, taking home $8,000. It was actually D, so he did the right thing.

In the hot seat now is Phillis Straka (Kettering, OH). She's a registered nurse, and she gets to take care of babies. She also gets to work with other women, and she loves her job. Nice. Anyway, Phillis starts by knowing that to promote a healthy environment for their patrons, restaurants often have signs that say "Thank you for not smoking". Soon after that...

[$500]
Which of these performers adopted the title "Sir" without ever having been knighted in England?
A: Sir Elton John
B: Sir Mix-A-Lot
C: Sir Mick Jagger
D: Sir Paul McCartney

Phillis slowly locks in C... but it's B. Ouch. She says she didn't even look at B, and that turned out to be a big mistake, because as a result, she leaves with nothing.

Let's hope that Nasry Malak (New York, NY) can do better. He obviously wants the million bucks, but he has 15 questions to answer first. Nasry starts by correctly saying that Louis XVI was famously beheaded by a guillotine. After some more, he faces this...

[$1,000]
A sacred prayer in the Roman Catholic faith, Ave Maria gets its name from a Latin phrase meaning what?
A: Cherish Mary
B: Mourn Mary
C: Believe Mary
D: Hail Mary

To be safe, Nasry asks the audience, and 91% say D. He goes with that, and secures $1,000! Nasry will be back tomorrow for more.
