Geoff Wolinetz is a 33 year old Director of Digital Operations. He wants to see if Khamani can digitize Jeff into $250,000.

4th Grade Earth Science: How many hours of direct sunlight does the SOuth Pole receive on June 21st: 0, 13, or 29? Jeff says 0, and he's got a good start. Total: $3,500.

3rd Grade Astronomy: True or False: A solar eclipse occurs when the sun passes between the Earth and the Moon. Jeff doesn't think it's true. He's right again. Total: $6,000.

1st Grade Nature: What flower in this picture is the state flower of Illinois, New Jersey and Wisconsin? Jeff says Violet, thinking that Khamani has his back for a Save. Jeff doesn't need it - he's right! Total: $6,500.

Khamani can't play anymore. Taylar is the next person to walk into the Geoff zone.

2nd Grade Vocabulary: If Khamani is described as being "fleet of foot", what does that say about him: He has big feet, He runs fast, or He walks frequently? Geoff thinks he runs fast, and Geoff is running fast to more money. Total: $7,500.

5th Grade World Geography: Buenos Aires is the Capital and largest city of what South American Country? Geoff quickly goes for Argentina, and he's right again! Total: $12,500.

5th Grade Math: Taylar has a box of 35 red and green candles. If the ratio of red to green is 3 to 4, how many green candles are there? It should by 20, which is what Geoff says. He's right again! Total: $17,500.

Taylar is all done. Like Khamani, she didn't do anything. Maybe Kevin will do something for the last 4 questions.

4th Grade Social Studies: Which branch of Congress must approve the nomination of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice? Geoff says The Senate, and he's right again! Total: $21,000.

3rd grade Ancient Cultures: The Roman numeral XXIX represents what number? That would be 29. Geoff goes for Super Bowl 29. Either way, he's right again! Total: $23,500.

2nd Grade English: What word in the following sentence needs a punctuation mark to make it grammatically correct: 'Its a shame if you don't win big today'? Geoff says that its needs an apostrophe. It DOES need one, and he may need a wheelbarrow for the money. Total: $24,500.

Only 1 away from the shot at $250,000.

1st grade U.S. Geography: What U.S. state has a name that means 'Land of the Indians'? It sounds like Indiana to him. It sounds like 25 G's to me. Total: $25,000!

Not only did Geoff run the table, he ran it without using any cheats. now will he go for $250,000 in the Subject of World History? YES HE WILL!

NICE GOING, GEOFF!!!! Geoff does some breakdancing and then kisses his wife. AwwwwBarf. Can we do it again tomorrow? Join us and see...

CMT CAP FORTHCOMING

Hand 1: going down the line with a 9, an 8, and a big ace for Lisa. Eddie breaks Lisa's ace with a 5 for soft 16. Lisa returns the favor with a jack for 18. Neil busts Eddie on a queen with 100. Lisa passes a 9 to Neil for 18, busting him on a 6 for 100. Lisa leads with 800.

Hand 2: Neil gets an 8, Eddie a 10, and Lisa a jack. Eddie passes Neil a 9 for 17. Lisa gets Neil's 2 for 12. Lisa passes a 4 to Eddie for 14. Neil gets busted out on a 6, leaving with 200. Lisa gets busted as well, giving Eddie the round.

Final Hand: Eddie gets an 8 to Lisa's 5. Lisa takes a 2, and Eddie gives her a king for 17. Eddie takes a 3 for 11, then busts Lisa on an 8 to win the game.

Bonus Catch 21 with three power chips:
Hand 1) 2 - A - J - 3 - A
Hand 2) 7 - 2 - 2 - Q = 21 ($5000)
Hand 3) 4 - A - 6 = 21 ($1000)
PASSED: 9

Three chances for a 4. There are still three outs in the deck, a 10% chance. That's not a chance Eddie's willing to take. He goes home with $6000. Next card... a 10. Card after... a 4! Ouch.

As a reminder... if the Hartpences win this game, they're driving away in the Chrysler 300M.

Bullseye Round

The #1, #3, #5 answers were answered by the Hartpence family in the final round, while the Herzog family attempted to force sudden death, but wave by a boat didn't make the survey and the Hartpence family won their Chrysler. In Fast Money, Marla & Larry attempted to win $25,000, but Larry got caught on two goose eggs and couldn't win the money and had to settle for another $775, giving them a car and a final cash total of $4,020. In total, they take away $41,905 in cash and car.

Chris starts with $200 Fictional Characters, where Røb finds the first Daily Double under $400. He bets the max of $1000 on this: this inhabitant of 221B Baker Street had been a surgeon in the British Army. "Who is Dr. Watson?" Correct for $1200! Chris would catch up and surpass Røb at the half with $5800 to his $4400. Magdalen is not too far behind with $3400, but she's far enough to start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Maker's Mark. Chris finds the first Daily Double under $2000 At the "Bar". He bets $1020 (he lost a 20 on the flight west) on this: one of the best sellers in its field, its stock symbol is BKS. "What is Bachley's?" He's going to lose a few more 20s because he didn't remember the clue. It was Barnes & Noble, leaving him with $7980. He can recoup his losses with the second Daily Double under $1200 Patron. He bets $1300 on this: Harry Kessler, known as "The Red Count", was a patron of this Norwegian artist who painted him using lots of red. "Who is Rembrandt?" No, it was Edvard Munch, leaving him with $7080. At the end of the round, Chris would rally to $18,680. With Røb at $7600 and Magdalen at $8600, it's Chris' game to lose.

Final Jeopardy! in "Movies & Dance": derived from other traditional dances and still popular today, the Syrtaki was created for this 1964 movie. Correct response: what is "Zorba the Greek"?

Ironically, Chris wagers the $20 he lost TWICE in his Jeopardy! pursuit and gets it back... along with a lot more. He wins another $18,700 to go to $41,498 for three days.

5-point round:

All our couples are tied at 5 at the half.

10-point round:
- In the bedroom, is your husband an early riser or a late bloomer?
- As a couple, on which scale would you rate the highest: an intellectual scale, an attractiveness scale, or a passion scale?
- eHarmony Appearance Question: Based on his face, would you say your husband would be a great... movie star, local weatherman, or radio personality?

We're all tied at 25 going into the bonus...

- 30-POINT BONUS: "One of the ways my husband and I compromise is that I'm allowed to BLANK if he gets to WHAT."

Devin says myself/my friends. Brandy matches... his friends, specifically, playing HeroClix. Andrew says dress up their dogs/drink with the guys. Nicole... NOTHING. Sean goes with shopping/sports.

The price is NOT $12,624. Is it $21,495? No, but the first three are right. Is it $21,482? Nope... and no new numbers are right. It was $21,479.

Windsor wins at the Wheel. Will Stephen Lazzarini follow suit? He gets a $916 camping package and a shot at a wall unit with HDTV that's either $6144 or $5293. He goes with $5293. Hold his hand... say "alakazam..." Boom! 

Jacob Rear gets a $1265 netbook and a chance at a Dodge Caliber in Pocket Change. The car goes for $19,654. He froze at the end, though, meaning that the car will cost him 75 cents. He has his quarter... and a dime... and another dime... and a nickel... and ... another dime. Sorry, but 60 cents won't do. But hey... Frankie Says Relax...

Last chance for Amanda with a massage chair. Price: $2295. Winner... Diana Marsh. She plays for a range & dishwasher and a car stereo. The 1 Right Price: $1430. She goes with the dishwasher... Got it! She also gets $1000 from the wheel on the back of Jacob's score of 95. Ouch.

First Showcase is for those who like to have fun... a hot tub, barbecue island, a bedroom with sleep set, and a waverunner. Top winner Diana passes, and Windsor bids $25,500. Next, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the historic moon landing with a Showcase presented by... BUZZ ALDRIN! We get a replica space suit, trips to Space Camp and a shuttle launch in Orlando, and a Saturn Sky. Diana will also get a bonus of Buzz's memoir, "Magnificent Desolation", but it is not indicated in the final total. Diana bids $32,495. Actual price: $42,284, a difference of $9789. Actual price of Windsor's Showcase... $36,755, a difference of $11,255, and Diana's going to space with a cash-and-swag total of $49,057!
