Lorraine watched as a giant stumbled on his feet yesterday, but can Lorraine prove that it was no fluke that she's champ?

Lorraine starts with $200 Presidential Monograns. Cory takes the early lead, $2800 to Tara and Lorraine's $1000. Each.

Lorraine makes her way to the Daily Double under $800 Starts & Ends with "W". She risks $2000 on this: to lie in the mud for refreshment; "no time to" do this "in the mire." "What is to wallow?" Right for $5200, but the lead would be short-lived, as Cory comes back to go to $6000, leaving Tara at $2200 to start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Plays within Plays. Lorraine finds the first Daily Double under $2000 From the Latin. She bets just $1000 on wedge shape writing from the Latin for "wedge". "Is it cuneiform?" Technically, that's a question for $8200. Tara finds the second Daily Double under $1600 American Artists. She bets $1500 on a 101-year-old artist who died during JFK's administration. "Who is Kahlo?" Nope, it was Grandma Moses, leaving Tara with $2300. She ends the round with $4300, but it's a two-man match with Lorraine at $15,800 and Cory at $15,200.

Final Jeopardy! in "University Geogrpahy": around 1830 the first Catholic priest ordained in the US obtained land in this state where a university now stands. Correct question: what is Indiana?

Cory's right... Lorraine isn't. She leaves with $8198, but Cory will return with $29,200.

The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time: 11a ET/10a CT on CBS
Host: Bob Barker

Anthony Posada, Daveon Swan, Kara Stewart , and Melanie Klos get the call down to bid on a trampoline. It's worth $828, as Capt. Anthony wins a chance at 2 for the Price of 1. The two: an armoire and a big screen HDTV. The board:

6 7 8
$ $ $
3 0 3

He gets the third number free; It's 8. He tries $608.... Wrong. It's $678.

Daveon wins a $1350 pair of watches, but can he convert them into a Ford Mustang? Not on Pathfinder. He does pick up a $35 MP3 player holder, a $30 toy ATM bank, and an $11 disco ball lamp. The car was $20,425.

Dianna Hayne is up thanks to an $800 wreath. It's her second time on stage, and just like before, she ends up with nothing. She loses out on a $6897 piano in Freeze Frame.

But not all is bad this half as Daveon wins the Showcase Showdown, winning $1000 for his dollar spin and a $5000 bonus later. William Popp pops out of Contestants' Row with $2500 in gold bars. He has a chance at a bar set at $2396, a motorscooter at $1351, and a washer/dryer worth $2198. One of those prices is wrong. He goes with the scooter... Right at $2499!

Grady Thomas gets a $2820 pair of chairs as he tries for a 2007 Ford Escape in That's Too Much! He thinks $20,841 is TOO MUCH!... and that's just right! Price: $19,845.

Either Melanie or Kara is going back to where she came with nothing. Prize: a laptop. Price: $899. Winner... Kara! She gets a chance at a dining room group with dinnerware in Now... or Then. Now... Today. Then... September 1996. She's a winner here as well as on the Wheel.

First up in the Showcase, the buddy system as it relates to dumbbells, a pool table, and a Buick Lucerne! Top winner Daveon bids $42,000. Kara plays for every trip in the house, to Savannah, Montreal, Edinburgh, and Puerto Vallarta. She tags them at $22,000. Actual price... $18,128. Over she goes. Actual price of Daveon's Showcase... $44,694! He wins with $52,120 in cash and prizes.

Stats: breakeven, $91,203.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? by Don Harpwood, GSNN

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

We're getting things started today with Sharon Jones (Birdsboro, PA). When asked what she would like to do with the money, she says she wants to help her 2 kids who don't have their own homes yet. Isn't that nice? With that, Sharon starts by knowing that a common way of saying "You were right and I was wrong" is "I stand corrected". Then, after sweeping the lower tier...

[$2,000]
What Internet slang term is said to have come from a Monty Python sketch in which the same word is repeated over and over?
A: Cookie
B: Spam
C: Blog
D: Emoticon

Sharon decides to ask the audience, and 77% are thinking B. She trusts them... and they're right!

[$8,000]
Of the six New England states, which is the only one to share a border with four other New England states?
A: Massachusetts
B: New Hampshire
C: Connecticut
D: Vermont

The 50:50 leaves A and D. Sharon goes with A... and she's right!

[$25,000]
In physics, the Greek letter lambda is used to represent which of the following?
A: Acceleration
B: Wavelength
C: Frequency
D: Inertia

All she remembers about that Greek letter is that it's in the name of a fraternity she has heard of. So, Sharon calls her sister's brother-in-law, Alan. However, he doesn't give an answer in time. With that, Sharon walks with $16,000, before seeing that it was B.

In the hot seat now is Garrett Bowling (Madisonville, KY). He has 3 kids, but all they wanted from him was for him to say hi to them on TV. Cute. After he does so, Garrett starts by knowing that someone who has to keep a secret is often told that "mum's the word" ("mum's the queen of England" could really only be said by a certain few people). He secures $1,000, then after a bit...

[$8,000]
An American cultural movement called the Harlem Renaissance flourished during what decade?
A: 1890s
B: 1920s
C: 1950s
D: 1970s

Garrett asks the audience, and 54% goes with B. He does, too... and they're right!

[$16,000]
Named 2006's "Word of the Year" by the American Dialect Society, "truthiness" was popularized by what late night talk show host?
A: Stephen Colbert
B: Conan O'Brien
C: Jon Stewart
D: David Letterman

Garrett isn't sure, so he calls Brian, who is 100% sure that it's A. Garrett trusts him... and it's A!

[$25,000]
The international scientific unit named after Sir Isaac Newton is used to measure what physical property?
A: Energy
B: Pressure
C: Force
D: Inertia

The 50:50 is used, leaving A and C. Garrett says he was thinking C, so he goes with that... and he has $25,000!

That's all for today. Garrett will start the upper tier tomorrow.
