  It's Ladies Night at the Jeopardy!, as Kate, having won two games with ZERO Finals correct, tries for the hat trick.
 
Kate Swenson
Minneapolis
law student
$28,001, two days
Penny Asay
Chicago
assistant professor of clinical psychology
Lisa Klink
Los Angeles
TV writer

Kate starts with $200 Banned Books, and as we learn more about the land of Alex and TV's Ryan Vickers, Kate leads at the TV time out with $2800 with Penny at $1800 and Lisa at $1000

Penny finds the Daily Double under $600 Computer On! "Alex, I would like to make it a true Daily Double." The clue for double or nothing... Robert Metcalfe was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame for this computer network that sounds like an anesthetic. "What is Ethernet?" Right for $4800! She leads at the half with $6400 to Lisa's $4600. Kate is close behind with $4200 and first pick of the board in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 2, finding the first Daily Double under $1600. She bids $3000 on this: it's the only planet in the solar system with exactly 2 moons. "What is Mars?" Phobos and Deimos give her $8400! Lisa finds the second under $800 Kenny. She wagers $2000 on this: at 3'8", Kenny Baker was memorable as the alphanumeric character in 1977, 1980, 1983, 1999, 2002 & 2005 films. "Who is R2-D2?" Right for $9400! Lisa leads it with $17,400 to Kate's $11,200 and Penny's $7200 going into...

Final Jeopardy! in "Women in History": born in Infanta in 1485, she died at Kimbolton Castle in England in England in 1536 with the official title Princess Dowager of Wales. Correct response: who was Catherine of Aragon?

Kate HAD IT! She crossed it out, leaving Lisa with the win and $12,300. Kate leaves with $30,001.

George has $150 when he finds the first Extra. He bets $500 on this: word with "banana" or "billing" (- O -). TOP is tops for $650. He leads at round's end, $750-$0.

Waiting in the shadows... TROUBLE.

John spoils George for $650. Claire finds the Extra worth $1000 this time. The clue: rich hanging tapestry (- - - - -). Misses on ARRAS, leaving her $1100 in the hole. She can make up for it with this Extra worth $1000 again: relative of hot pants (- - N -). MINI would've gotten her the money. Instead, she's back $1700 down. Tommy spoils John for $1350. He leads at the end of the round, $1450 to -$1700.

Crosswords Extra at Home: _____ as Silk. a) Smooth b) Fine c) Strong. Text your letter choice to 27677 for a shot at $1000 or enter for free at crosswords.tv.

George takes back his $1450. Tommy takes it for $2250. Tommy has the final Extra, betting $1500 on this: don't keep in (- - - -). Nothing on OMIT. But it doesn't matter as Tommy takes this one, $1250 to -$1800.

Next up, an Xbox 360, $5000, and a trip to Nuevo Vallarta in the final round. Doesn't happen. But he still goes home with $1250.

The Araujos lead, 138-52.  Double: if you discover that your best friend talked ill of you, what would you do (3)? Rafael fires with talk to them for #1.

Temptation: The New Sale of the Century

Host: Rossi Morreale
Website: www.seenontemptation.com
  Three MORE past players have come back to play again in a special three-day tournament.
 
Cindy Ingrid Trisha

INSTANT CASH: $1000

Rules are different. Each player will have three days to build their accounts as high as they can. And instead of the paltry T$20 to start, they're going to get a not-quite-as-paltry T$30 to start. Only the person who leads at the end of Wednesday's show will win the right to go shopping.

Speed Round 1: Ingrid leads at the end, 50 to the others' 30 a pop. She gets a shot at this... two round-trip tickets to anywhere in Europe worth $2400. It's Ingrid's for T$15. She wants to go back to London... SOLD.

Fame Game: Trisha waits three to buzz in with GEORGE CLOONEY. She has 45 now.

Knock-Off: Time Traveling Movies. Trisha gets the big 15 from "Kate & Leopold" and 10 from "The Butterfly Effect". Ingrid is knocked out with 39 thanks to "Same Time Next Year". The others run out, giving Cindy 44 and Trisha 75. Trisha gets this Instant Bargain: a hand bag and accessories from Charlie Lapson worth $1100. Trisha's price.. T$15. She leads by 31. Rossi throws in a hundie... GOT IT.

Speed Round 2: Bootylicious or Fergalicious. Who recorded these songs, Beyonce or Fergie? Cindy leads it, 84-49-60. That would qualify as "on fire". And to quell the fire... Cash. T$24 for a shot at $1000? Nope. She would've gone red... The white one had the money.

Final Speed Round: Not quite as hot as she was that last round, but Cindy still wins it with T$104. Ingrid has T$39, and Trisha has T$70.

Super Knock-Off: 10 Most Common Last Names according to the US Census Bureau. Smith is #1 for $25. Brown... $25. Rodriguez... KNOCKOFF. Other answers: Miller for 100, Wilson, Johnson, Davis.

In Shopper's Paradise this week...

Laptop with HP printer $1798 T$89
7-night Alaskan cruise with Ricardo Beverly Hills luggage & binoculars $6230 T$249

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
by Don Harpwood

Air time: Check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
Website: www.millionairetv.com
  Sandra Bates (Blue Springs, MO) starts the week off still early into her stack, as she is at $200.

She does go on to complete the lower tier, then...

[$2,000]
What classic rock song's first line urges you to "get your motor runnin', head out on the highway"?
A: Purple Haze
B: My Generation
C: Light My Fire
D: Born to be Wild

Though she's a songwriter, Sandra mainly writes country music. So, unsure of this, she asks the audience, and an astounding 96% say D! Sandra trusts them... and of course, they're right!

[$8,000]
A mixture consisting of 70% isopropanol and 30% water is commonly sold in pharmacies under what generic name?
A: Hairspray
B: Rubbing alcohol
C: Contact lens solution
D: Mouthwash

The 50:50 leaves A and B. Sandra then calls her twin sister's daughter, Susan, but she doesn't give a response in time. Still, Sandra takes a shot at it. She says A... but it's B! Ouch. That sends her home with $1,000.

Tom Mathias (Nashville, TN): He's a real estate developer. When asked if he came thinking that he'd win a million dollars, he was like, "Yeah, let's say that." Alright, then.

He has no problem securing $1,000, but then...

[$2,000]
By definition, sage is a grayish shade of what color?
A: Orange
B: Red
C: Yellow
D: Green

Tom asks the audience, and an overwhelming 94% are saying D. He goes with that... and they're right again!

[$25,000]
On the front cover of The Beatles album "Let It Be," who is the only Beatle without a mustache?
A: Paul McCartney
B: John Lennon
C: George Harrison
D: Ringo Starr

Tom knows the album, but the cover? Not so much. So, he calls his friend, Mike, and he says he's about 75-85% sure that it's B. After some thought, Tom goes with that... and he has $25,000! That's all for today, though, but he'll be back tomorrow!
