To wrap up November....
WWTBAM: Back with us is the ever lovable Jessie Zitrosa! Let's see if by some chance bears will strike again as part of the choices, as she goes for the big money, starting with $50,000, on this question, after passing the first one:
Which of these actresses has been the quickest to file for divorce, only 52 days after getting married?
A: Jennifer Lopez
B: Angelina Jolie
C: Heather Locklear
D: Drew Barrymore
Zitarosa's guess is Jennifer Lopez. I understand that choice, since J-Lo's had her marriage problems....but it's NOT her. It's Drew Barrymore, so Zitarosa's fun is over. But she does have the $25,000 she accumulated from yesterday, which isn't bad for one who nearly dies laughing about bears as blind dates.
New player: Chris Sorensen. First question of note:
Most cats of the Marx breed have what distinctive characteristic?
A: No fur
B: No tail
C: No claws
D: No whiskers
Sorensen polls the audience. 71% say B, and 25% say A. He picks B.....got it for $8,000! He gets to this $25,000 question:
On a piano, the keys for which of these pairs of notes are not seperated by a black key?
A: A and B
B: G and A
C: C and D
D: E and F
Sorensen uses the phone, and calls Daniel T. He says D is it without hesitation. Sorensen says he's the man, and after saying that as the correct answer for $25,000, who can blame him?
For $50,000:
What nursery rhyme title did Margaret Mitchell consider as an alternate title for her classic novel, "Gone with the Wind"?
A: Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
B: Sing a Song of Sixpence
C: Little Bo Peep
D: Hickory Dickory Dock
Sorensen uses his last regular lifeline, the 50:50. It leaves A and C. His thought of A is still there and he says it....he's got $50,000! For $100,000 and a chance to return tomorrow to go for at least $250,000, after switching out the first question:
Which of these continents was not once part of a giant land mass scientists call Gondwanaland?
A: North America
B: South America
C: Africa
D: Antartica
It looks like he wants to stop. But suddenly he says D......BAD IDEA. It's A. So not only will Sorensen not be back tomorrow, his $50,000 gets cut in half.
Jeooardy!: Friedman goes for four against Lynne Sherwin and Ruth Comer. We have a theme in the categories for the first round- they are all direct names of NASA spaceships, with the exception of End "Ever". Columbia is represented by the Columbia Pictures logo. The first, third and last clues in that category are video clips of famous Columbia Pictures movies. Sherwin catches fire in the middle of the round, getting as high as $5,600. In a rare occurrance in a civilan episode, the Daily Double in this round is never found. Scores after this round: $4,600 for Sherwin, Friedman has $600, and Ruth is a grand in debt.
Friedman hits the first Daily Double on the last clue in "Name that Pope" in Round 2. With him trailing $9,400 to his $4,600, he bets.....$100. Interesting. Clue:
Check the calendar for the 13th pope with this name, who served from 1572 to 1585.
His response is "Who is Gregory?"....he's right, but if he loses this game, he's going to kick himself over that bad bet. But he gets a chance to redeem himself right away, because the next clue he picks in "I Love a Mozart Opera" is the other Daily Double. He bets....$600. The clue:
This 1791 work is considered the greatest example in music history of the Zauberoper, or "Magic Opera".
"What is the Magic Flute?" says Friedman....right again, but again, another bad bet.
When the round ends, Friedman is much closer to Sherwin, as he trails with his $10,500 to his $11,800. Comer's the odd one out with $3,000.
FJ! category is: Play characters.
He is based partly on a philologist who wrote "A History of English Sounds" and "A Handbook of Phonetics".
Comer says "Who is Henry Higgins"....right! She risks half, so she has $4,500. Friedman says....the right thing, but kinda lowballs again with a $4,499 bid, so he has $14,999. Are those bad bets about to shoot down Friedman? Let's find out as Sherwin wrote.....
....the right thing, and wagers $10,501 to win the championship with $22,301! Friedman leaves with $63,700.
WOF: Tonight, we have Juliette Dean, Noy Chanbong, and Peter Fryar. Dean's three-and-a-half year old son refuses to call the title of the show as it is- he calls it The Letter Show. OK now...
Anyway, the first main puzzle, a Food and Drink one, is the Prize Puzzle round. Chanbong gets a little bit of a roll, getting the $10,000 wedge early and calling three S's into the puzzle when the wheel lands on $2,500! The puzzle at this point reads:
S _ E _ _ S H
M E _ T _ _ _ _ S
She calls a D and an I into the puzzle next. She says SWEDISH MEATBALLS for $17,900 cash and a trip to Sweden! That's $22,400 for her already!
In the Jackpot Round, after Noy could not repeat her magic, we have this puzzle so far in Around The House:
H I G H
T H _ _ A D- C O U N T
S H _ _ T S
This is what it looked like after Fryar called a D when landing on the Jackpot space. Not only is $500 deposited into his bank, he gets a shot at the Jackpot of $8,900 (when $500 is added to it). He says HIGH THREAD-COUNT SHEETS....WINNER! $10,400 for him so far!
In our $10,000 Mystery Round, Fryar has $8,100 and is trying to pick up a trip to Thailand at this point. The board at this point in Before and After:
_ _
C A S E
_ _
E _ E R G E _ C _
_ R E A _
G L A S S
S L _ _ _ E R
Fryar calls a B......in there! Next is N for $300 a pop. He buys two I's then. He calls an F for another $300. He buys an O. He then milks another $1,000 from the Mystery Wedge he doesn't take by calling M. He then calls a Y for $400 more, $9,100 so far. He gets another $1,000 by calling a K. He finally solves IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS SLIPPER
for the trip and $10,900! So far for him: $26,700! He's got the lead!
Juliette solves COOKIE MONSTER for $3,000 and $5,000 total to get control of the next round, which has a Phrase. It's the Speed-Up round, too. Chanbong solves YOU'RE FULL OF SURPRISES for $2,700. That's $25,100, but it's not quite enough to overtake Fryar, who is our champion with $26,700! Dean has $5,000 to take home.
Let's see if we can add on to this decent night and not have to worry about a possible skunk threat tomorrow. Fryar's bonus round category is Phrase. We start with:
_ E _ _ E N
_ _ R _ _ _
I think it's HEAVEN something. Fryar's choices are C, D, H and A and gets...
H E A _ E N
_ _ R _ _ D
...it is HEAVEN something. That last word stands between him and more winning.... the last word shot him down. It was HEAVEN FORBID. This time it wasn't $30,000- it was $45,000 he lost out on.
TPIR: Today, I saw, IMO, the worst contestant of the season so far. It was Lorenzo, who played Safe Crackers for a Living Room Group and a Bulova Arista Anniversary Clock. He needs to figure out the clock's price to open the safe. The possible digits are 0, 5 and 7. He sets the price to.....$507. YOU FOOL!! It's $750. Too bad he had to get into the Showcase, where he met Megan, who didn't win too much herself, but it was more of because of bad luck with Punch-a-Bunch.
First Showcase consisted of a trip to New York, a trip to Hawaii, and a Catalina 25" Sailboat. Megan passes to Lorenzo, who I'm hoping won't win. He bids $25,000. Megan tries for a Broyhill 100th Anniversary Bedroom Group, a 42" Dell Plasma HDTV, and.....a Chevy Equinox LS (Std. , PProt)! That surprised me. She bids $26,000.
ARP for Lorenzo: $41,126, a difference of $16,126. Megan's ARP: $32,923, saving me from humilation and giving her a total of $34,261 in cash and prizes.

Who wants to be a Millionaire Guest Host?
Al Roker and Tom Bergeron apparently do. According to Buzzerblog.com, episodes were taped with these two filling in fo Meredith Veira. They are said to air during the final month of the season, but this is not definite.
Rating for "Show Me the Money", Episode 3
Last night's episode of "Show Me the Money" scored a 5.3 Fast Neilsen rating with an 8 share. Although that's up slightly from last week's rating, it fell to third place in its time slot behind FOX's "Bones", and ABC only finished fourth for the night.

Rating for "Match Game: Behind the Blank"
Last Sunday's "Match Game: Behind the Blank" documentary scored an 0.7 rating, which is a strong rating. Who knows how the Chuck Barris one will fare. BTW, the night before his documentary (on the 10th), a three-hour marathon of some of his best shows will air on December 9th, in a similar fashion to Match Game's marathon.

Recap: The Biggest Loser III- Round of 6
Last time, despite not losing any weight, Wylie still made it to the next round, and Marty didn't.
With that elimination, Bob Harper only has one of his original team members left. He considers Erik to be in big danger to lose- if he falls below the yellow line at tonight's weigh-in, he is expected to be a goner.
After everyone ate Thanksgiving dinner, it's time for a reward challenge. They are flown to the Santa Anita Racetrack for the Biggest Loser Derby. The objective is for each to carry all of their weight markers to their own barrels while the markers are clipped on their suits, adding up to the amount of weight that they've lost so far on the show. The first to do so wins one day to spend with a family member.
Heather is unable to compete due to a leg injury. Wylie gets off to a good start with a successful drop-off. Adrian, however, misses her first frop off. Wylie goes two-for-two, while Jaron moves to second. Erik is really slowing down, and Adrian takes third place as a result. Wylie makes his first missed drop-off, thus causing Jaron to take over the lead and send Wylie to second (he curses while going back). Adrian passes Wylie for second after her third drop-off. After both make their final drop-offs, it's a close sprint between them. The winner is: Jaron! He got to spend some time with his wife, Tara.
Shortly after all that, Erik may be resigned to the fact that he is in big trouble at the ranch.
It's Weigh-In time.
For Jaron: He lost....8 pounds, sending him down to 223, and he reaches the 100-pound loss mark! That's a percentage of 3.46%!
For Heather: Her current weight is 179. New weight: 174, meaning a loss of 5 pounds. That's a percentage of....2.79%.
For Kai: Her current weight is 198. New weight: 189, a loss of 9 pounds. That's a percentage of.....4.55%, and she's in the lead! Also, she's lost 73 pounds on the ranch so far, setting a new female record on the show!
For Wylie: His current weight is 236. New weight: 224, a loss of 12 pounds! Good comeback!
That's a percentage of....5.08, meaning he can't fall below the yellow line!
For Adrian: She needs to lose at least 5 pounds to avoid going below the yellow line, at least for now. Current weight is 163. New weight is: 161, so she is in the elimination round.
For Erik: He needs to lose at least 9 pounds. If he does, Heather will be the other person in the elimination round. Current weight: 307. New weight......
....295, meaning he's still alive for now! That's a percentage of 3.91! So Heather and Adrian are in the elimination round. Adrian is very concerned.
Elimination: Kai votes for Adrian. Jaron votes for Heather. Erik votes for Adrian. And that's bad news for Adrian- because she has the lowest weight-loss percentage for the week, and even if Wylie votes for Heather, the tie is broken for the lower percentage. So that means that Erik's votes was the decider, and Adrian forfeits her shot at all of the money. But she will still get a shot at a $100,000 consolation prize on the season finale in mid-December. Also, a $50,000 consolation prize will be awarded to the one amongst the at-home players who lost the most weight.

Show Me the Money: Show #3
Bill Kapitan is back with us. When we last left, he had $420,000, and is halfway home towards a win.
First starter: "Who holds the record...". Kapitan chooses B:
Who holds the record as the only actor to win Oscars for acting and screenwriting?
His guess is Tom Hanks. Dancer choice is Yesenia....for $140,000.....
...NO! It's Emma Thompson. New starter: The first. Kapitan settles on B:
The first movie role for Matt Damon only required him to say one line in what 1988 romantic comedy?
His guess is "Moonstroke". For his dancer, the choice is Cara-Lee. For $20,000....
....good thing it was $20,000, because he's wrong again. Answer: "Mystic Pizza". Down to $260,000 he goes.
Next starter: Holly. Kapitan passes A and B before seeing this:
Holly Marie Combs, before becoming a sister on "Charmed", played the daughter of a small town Sheriff on what TV series?
He draws a blank, and says "Dukes of Hazard".....wrong again. It's "Picket Fences". He loses...
....$200,000. Down to $60,000 now. New question starts with "The Kid...". Kapitan immediately goes with C for this:
The Kid Rock song "Feel Like Makin' Love" was originally a 1975 Top-10 hit by what group?
He says "Bad Company". Kapitan chooses Shannon....
...to double his $60,000 or send him to zero....
...FINALLY! $120,000. New starter: What "A". Take that, "Blockbusters". The question he takes:
What A is the major car rental company that shares its name with a Texas tourist attraction, but is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Kapitan says Alamo, and is right! Now he's back on track. For the girl, Kapitan chooses Victoria....
....and adds $40,000, for a total of $160,000. One more answer gives him the cash. New starter is "Which". Kapitan settles on a music question...
Which member of the Jackson 5 was born with the first name Sigmund?
Kapitan says Tito. Possible last girl choice is Mariah....
.....for the quarter million and a grand total of $410,000.....
....NO!!! It's Jackie. So for the first time in this show's short history, Kapitan is in the hole at
-$90,000. New starter: Who didn't. Kapitan chooses this question:
Who didn't finish high school, but was smart enough to be cast as the super-spy James Bond in the movie, "Goldeneye"? He'd better get this.
He says....
....Sean Connery- DARN!!! It's Pierce Brosnan, and he is mathematically out of the game with a minus $250,000. Here's hoping the IRS doesn't bite him in the ass....
Let's see if Adrienne De'Anna can do much better. She gets three correct, but loses a big one on question three, and has only $20,000 after the third correct answer as a result. She faces this question:
"2001" was the title of a 1999 album by what rap superstar, who followed his classic album "The Chronic"?
De' Anna says Dr. Dre. Her lady selection at this point was Shannon.....
...for $160,000....she's right! $180,000 now. New starter: "The Southern". The question she takes:
The southern actor Josh Holloway played a Southern actor named Sawyer on what hit ABC series?
De' Anna says "Lost". For her girl selection, it's Eve....
....for $200,000....RIGHT! $380,000, and one answer to go for the money.
Possible last starter: "Brooklyn's....". She passes on A and B before seeing...
Brooklyn's Barbara Striesand has been married to Elliott Gould and James Brolin, who both starred together in what 1978 film?
She didn't know those two starred in a film together. She guesses "The Good Days".....not it.
It was "Capricorn One". She only loses $80,000, though, and has $300,000. New starter:
In the. She immediately chooses B for this:
In the December 19, 2005 issue of Newsweek, what comedian was remembered by Jerry Seinfeld as "The Picasso of our Prefession"?
She's unsure, but says Johnny Carson.....WRONG AGAIN. Answer was Richard Pryor. But she loses only $20,000, and has $280,000. New starter: Bill. De' Anna chooses this:
Bill Maher accidentally got knocked out by Erik Estrada on what game show?
De' Anna says "Hollywood Squares", and many of us fans let out a huge groan, because it's actually "Pictionary", which we've seen on blooper specials. This time, she loses.....$250,000. Ouch. Down to $30,000.
Next starter: Show. De' Anna chooses this:
"Show Me the Way" was a signature song for what classic rock star who had a hit with his 1976 "Comes Alive!" album?
Her answer is Elton John, but is not sure. She chooses Victoria....
....to win $150,000......
....NO. It was Peter Frampton. She is now in the hole, $90,000 deep. With five correct answers and five wrong ones, this is her last question. Starter is Veronica. Question for De' Anna:
Veronica Lodge and Betty Cooper have vied for the affection of what red-headed comic book hero since the 1940s?
Final answer: Archie. Her final girl selection is Theresa.
This is for $180,000. If she's right, the negative will be taken off her scoreboard, she will have $90,000 and win. If not, she's broke. So either she wins or she won't. The answer is......
....Annie! She ends an otherwise ugly show tonight on a good note, winning $90,000.
First starter: "Who holds the record...". Kapitan chooses B:
Who holds the record as the only actor to win Oscars for acting and screenwriting?
His guess is Tom Hanks. Dancer choice is Yesenia....for $140,000.....
...NO! It's Emma Thompson. New starter: The first. Kapitan settles on B:

WOF: Tonight, we have Steve Ringer (who solves the $1,000 Tossup THE AMAZING RACE!), Amanda Dubose, and Shashona Reynolds. Dubose gets on the board by solving FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH for $3,750. Dubose scores again with ACTRESS SCARLETT JOHANSEN for a total of $9,150 so far.
$10,000 Mystery Round is also tonight's Prize Puzzle round. Ringer gets the Wild Card, but loses it right away. Reynolds lands on a Mystery Wedge and gets three N's. She flips the wedge over....it's the $10,000! But she loses it all to a Bankrupt. Ringer solves FRENCH ONION SOUP TOPPED WITH MELTED CHEESE for $3,900 and a trip to Paris! Total for him now: $9,400, leading Dubose by only $250.
Dubose retakes the lead with the $3,000 tossup SINGING A DUET. On an Around the House puzzle, late in the round, Reynolds scores in a big way with $19,750 by solving ENTERTAINMENT CENTER after calling a T! She now jumps into the lead.
It looked like she was going to win the Speed-Up round when she called the C's and given
_ E R _ _ C E E N T R _ N C E, but she draws a blank! Ringer steals this one with $1,300 on SERVICE ENTRANCE, and finishes with $10,700, but Reynolds's big fourth round wins her the match. Dubose left with $12,700.
For the bonus, we have her land on the next-to-last zero. Category is Event. Starting with:
T _ E L _ N _
_ _ _ _
It's THE LONG something, I'll bet you. I hope she gets a lot of help on the last word. Reynolds's choices are C, G, D and A and gets...
T _ E L _ N G
_ _ _ _
...it is THE LONG something. Can she plug in that last word....NO. The last word was JUMP. $30,000 says bye-bye again.
TPIR: While I was watching the first half, Lynda House played Hole in One for a 2007 Chevy Impala worth $21,445. The products today: Goldfish crackers, olive oil, Johnson's Baby Shampoo, the Aspercreme patch, Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Uncle Ben's Brown Rice.
She puts in order the crackers, peanut butter, the brown rice, the baby shampoo, the olive oil, and the patch. Like the studio audience, I'm worried about the second and third items, but we'll see how this works. The crackers are 89 cents. The peanut butter is....$2.99. The rice is......$1.99, so she putts from line two. Bob has his putt go to the right, disgusting him. As for House........BULLSEYE!! She wins the car!
Robert Whalen, however, gets to the Showcase from the first half, after winning Freeze Frame for a $5,125 hot tub.
For our forth game today, we have Jamie Armstrong playing Buy or Sell for a Honda motorbike, a Wurlizer Coca-Cola Machine Replica, and a Dining Group from Carson's of High Point. For the bike, Armstrong buys. Marked price is $1,794, and the ARP is: $2,094, so she starts off with $300 in her acccount. For the Coca-Cola thing, Armstrong sells with the price being marked at $3,695. ARP: $4,495, so she loses $800, and is $500 in the hole. For the dining group, Armstrong sells again, with the marked price of $4,193. ARP........$4,893! She's a whopping $1,200 in deep doo-doo debt and loses! What a bummer.
Next, Jon David Hornbacher played That's Too Much!!! for a Dodge Magnum SE (Std., Heater).
First price of consideration: $16,464.....he continues. Next is $19,120......he goes on. Next is $21,480......another no from him. Next is $24,750......he says the magic words of THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!! The ARP is........$2......3,395- he wins!
In the last IUFB, a lady from the audience wants to help out Bob with the last IUFB, and he grants her wish! She does a fine job, and Bob takes over from there, revealing the ARP of the prize.
Armstrong makes up for her Buy or Sell disaster by winning $1,000 off of the wheel. She spun her bonus spin a little too hard, missing out on another $5,000.
In Showcase #1, Whalen is tempted with prizes depicted from sandcastles in the first ever TPIR Sandcastle Contest. First is one made of a bowling ball with pins....which obviously leads to bowling equipment! Next is one made of the Eiffel Tower, which means a trip to Paris! Finally, we see a re-creation of The Great Wall of China, which means a trip to China! Whalen passes to Armstrong, who bids $18,500.
For Mr. Whalen, he has the Showcase on previous unexamined eras in history. First, we have the Messyzoic era, which leads to lots of cleaning with your two new vaccum cleaners! Next is the Germassic era, which means you'll have to clean your body with a white bathtub! Finally is the Nicetocene era, which means it's always nice to see you drive your new Ford Mustang (Std., Airbags)! Whalen bids $27,350.
ARP for Armstrong: $17,655. She's over, and leaves with $2,010. ARP for Whalen: $2........6,754. Darn it- a Double Overbid! So he leaves with $7,223, and Mr. Hornbacher winds up as the day's top winner with $25,494.
Jeopardy!: Ryan Friedman is back to defend against singer Alexia Henke and David Menyard.
Friedman struggles early on, and only has $600 heading into the first break, while Menyard leads with $3,800 (including a successful Daily Double in Airport Codes). But the other part of Round 1 features many misses from Henke and Menyard, and Friedman closes the gap a bit. He ties Henke with $3,600, while Menyard still leads with $4,000. He's the person furthest to the left, so he'll start Double Jeopardy!
When we start that round, the match gets a whole lot tighter, as everybody is at one point less than $1,000 between each other. Friedman gets a clue on Dr. Spock in "Doctor!" to take the lead with $6,000. A few clues later, Menyard and Henke are tied at $6,400, and Friedman still has six grand. But Friedman gets the last clue in "Bring Out Your Fred" to retake the lead with $8,000. Friedman trails Henke by $800, $9,200 to his $8,400 when he hits the first Daily Double in "Doctor!". He bets $1,000 on this...
He decided against a general medical practice and chose a miltary career, entering the Army Medical Corps in 1875.
Friedman says....nothing. Right response: Who is Doctor Walter Reid? Down to $7,400, and only $1,000 ahead of third-place Menyard. Menyard takes over second place one clue later before Henke gets on a little roll and has $14,000. When we get down to "A Little Deity", there's one Daily Double left. After getting the $400 clue in that right, Friedman thinks the other Daily Double is hidden under the $1,600 clue....not there. Nobody gets that clue, so Friedman tries again with $2,000.....still nothing from anyone. $800 and $1,200 left in the category, so he tries $1,200.....IT'S THERE! With $9,800 at this point to Meynard's $10,800 and Henke's $14,000, he bets $5,001. For the lead...
This God was upset to find that the mortal girl Apemosyne could outrun him.
Friedman says, "Who is Mercury?"......HE'S GOT THE LEAD BACK! Hermes was also acceptable for that clue. After Henke gets the last clue, she trails Friedman by ONE DOLLAR, while Meynard has $10,800.
Interesting FJ! in Modern Languages:
An estimated 100,000-plus people speak this language whose nouns have no gender and end with -O.
Meynard's response: "What is Esperanto?" He's right. He wagered $4,001, tying Friedman for the lead at $14,801. Henke says....the right response, and risks $6,801, taking her up to $21,601. Friedman says.....the right thing also. Now, if he risked at least $6,800, he's back tomorrow. He risked.....
.....$14,800!! He wins $29,601, and has a three-game total of $61,700! Good job!
WWTBAM: To begin the day, Donna Andersen is back. For $4,000:
What is the only state in the U.S. that borders the Atlantic time zone?
A: Maine
B: Masachussetts
C: Delaware
D: Florida
Andersen uses the 50:50, leaving A and B. She says A.....right! For $8,000:
Which of these female names has not appeared in the title of a Rolling Stones hit song?
A: Ruby
B: Jane
C: Angie
D: Daisy
She asks the audience, and 74% said D. She says that....and that's $8,000. She gets up to this $25,000 query:
Meaning "bitter criticism", the word "vitric" is also a synonym for what corrosive substance?
A: Turpentine
B: Lue
C: Sulfuric acid
D: Chlorine beach
She takes a wild guess and says C.....WRONG. It's B, so that sends her home with $1,000.
New player: Jessie Zitarosa, a school administrator. She is quite an interesting character. When we see the $1,000 question, and the A choice of "Bears" comes at, Zitarosa nearly dies laughing while remembering the blind date she once had with one! At the $16,000 question, on a question about the week that Discovery Channel does every year ("Shark Week"), the choice "Bear Week" comes up and she laughs again! Quite a game, folks. She gets up to the $25,000 question, the last one of the day, with the phone lifeline left:
Affectionately known as "Two-Buck Chuck, Charles Shaw is a popular and affordable line of what product?
A: Wine
B: Cigars
C: Cheese
D: Olives
Zitarosa calls her brother, P.J. for help. With authority, he knows it's A. As soon as Zitarosa says it, she gets to $25,000 and will be back Thursday!

Total for him now: $9,400, leading Dubose by only $250.
Dubose retakes the lead with the $3,000 tossup SINGING A DUET. On an Around the House puzzle, late in the round, Reynolds scores in a big way with $19,750 by solving ENTERTAINMENT CENTER after calling a T! She now jumps into the lead.
It looked like she was going to win the Speed-Up round when she called the C's and given
_ E R _ _ C E E N T R _ N C E, but she draws a blank! Ringer steals this one with $1,300 on SERVICE ENTRANCE, and finishes with $10,700, but Reynolds's big fourth round wins her the match. Dubose left with $12,700.
For the bonus, we have her land on the next-to-last zero. Category is Event. Starting with:
T _ E L _ N _

It's THE LONG something, I'll bet you. I hope she gets a lot of help on the last word. Reynolds's choices are C, G, D and A and gets...
T _ E L _ N G

...it is THE LONG something. Can she plug in that last word....NO. The last word was JUMP. $30,000 says bye-bye again.

For the dining group, Armstrong sells again, with the marked price of $4,193. ARP........$4,893! She's a whopping $1,200 in deep doo-doo debt and loses! What a bummer.
Next, Jon David Hornbacher played That's Too Much!!! for a Dodge Magnum SE (Std., Heater).
First price of consideration: $16,464.....he continues. Next is $19,120......he goes on. Next is $21,480......another no from him. Next is $24,750......he says the magic words of THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!! The ARP is........$2......3,395- he wins!

Armstrong makes up for her Buy or Sell disaster by winning $1,000 off of the wheel. She spun her bonus spin a little too hard, missing out on another $5,000.

11/28/06 Results
Jeopardy!: Ryan Friedman tries to follow in Jeff Spoeri's footsteps against Ehren Schwiebert and Suzanne Ennis. I see quite a few picture clues in the first fifteen clues of the round, most notable from Gilt Complex. Mr. Friedman (not Harry) leads $4,000 to Schwiebert's two grand, while Ennis has zip into the first commercial break.
When we come back, we see a little of Spoeri magic from Friedman, as he leads $7,600 to Schwiebert's $3,000, and Ennis's $400.
We see Double Jeopardy! having Before and After as a category, and Friedman gets the first three clues in that. Eventually, he has more Spoeri magic, and with $22,000 to Schwiebert's $10,200, he finds the first Daily Double and gets it right, but only bets $500 and goes up to $22,500. Two clues later, he gets the other Daily Double in Literary Europe:
If John Keats had sent a postcard from his last home, it would have been postmarked in this city.
With the accompanying picture, Friedman says What is Florence....no. What is Rome? He only loses $2,000 though, and when the round ends, he's a sure bet to retain with $20,500, although Schwiebert has $10,200.
FJ!: Asia.
Along with Communist China and North Korea, one of the 2 formerly Communist nations bodering Asian Russia.
Correct: What is Kazikstan or Mongolia?
Ennis says Kazikstan, but bets nothing of her $1,800. Schwiebert says Mongolia and risks $6,999 to go up to $17,199. Friedman says Mongolia and wins $20,500, and a two-day total of $32,099.
WOF: Today's players: Tyrone Dudley, Amanda Wandress, and Jennifer Fisher. After getting the $2,000 tossup, Fisher scores big in the first main round with JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN for $12,100....and a trip to Jamaica! Total for Fisher: $20,700.
Wandress quickly solves the next puzzle in Same Name with ANIMAL AND TAX SHELTER for $1,650. She also gets the Wild Card while she's at it.
Speaking of the Wild Card, early on in the $10,000 Mystery Round, Wandress gets $500 and calls three T's. But she then uses the Wild Card (not a wise move), and gets an H for another $500. But this round goes to Dudley, who solves CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC to go to $6,850.
Wandress solves A TON OF FUN for the $3,000 Toss-Up and a total of $4,650.
The next Phrase was a toughie, IMHO. Fisher struggled to get a lot of help with this puzzle before losing control to Dudley, who solves SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE, thanks to the R call late, for another $1,800, and $8,650 total.
Speed-Up: Fisher solves DIRECT SUPERVISOR for game, set and match with $22,400.
For the bonus round, we start with Food and Drink and this:
S _ _ _ E _
_ _ _ _ _
Fisher's choices: H, D, C and A. I wouldn't have called the D myself, because it's obvious that's in the puzzle, but we'll see how it works out....
S _ _ _ E D
_ _ _ D A
...it didn't work out as bad as I expected. I knew it was SMOKED something, but Fisher gets nowhere. The other half was GOUDA (smoking that type of cheese? Mean!). The $30,000 goes out the window again.
TPIR: We start with a birthday boy who's just turned 18- Jake Dolson! He played Range Game for....a Ford Focus Wagon! BTW, the Focus Wagon is being retired by Ford after this year, so if Dolson wins, he'll be one of the last few to have one, if he can afford it. He stops the board at about $18,000-$18,150. Good move, because it's $18,095! Happy birthday! Not only that, he gets into the Showcase!
When we get to the second half, we have an interesting situation. Zachary Bachman played Flip Flop for a trip to Santa Fe. Setup:
5417
He guesses $4,517.....then hits the button before Bob could! Unlike the infamous last time, this is declared a loss, as it's $4,571. Barker keeps his composure, and allows Bachman to plug the commercial break.
Next is Averil Carol, who played Cliffhangers for a player piano. For the first item, we have a recorder. At first, Carol says $250 (?!?!)....thankfully, the audience makes her change his mind and guess $30....which is wrong. It's $15, so the mountain climber (Gwen Stefani not included) goes up 15 steps. For the Story Reader thing, Carol again says $30....and she's on the nose, so the climber stays at 15! For the toaster, Carol says....you guessed it, $30! She's using a conservative strategy similar to what you might find in Lucky Seven. The ARP of the toaster....
...$39, which means she wins it all! And she'll face birthday boy Dolson in the Showcase!
First Showcase has a soda fountain, a home gym, and a Hi-Lo trailer. The birthday boy passes to the weird Cliffhangers lady, who bids $17,000. For the birthday boy, he goes for a dining room, a year's supply of Ghiradelli chocolate, and a trip to Switzerland (again, Gwen Stefani yodeling not included. So sorry). Dolson bids $18,500.
The lady's ARP: $28,900, a difference of $11,900. The birthday boy's showcase ARP is: $14,817, so Averil wins $37,743! Dolson leaves with a birthday cavalcade of $18,982.
Family Feud: Trying for win #4 is the Klena family, against the Carrascos. The champs score 83 first on things people think others waste too much of. The Carrascos fire back with 71 on unwelcome gifts cats give to people.
Double: Famous Willys or Willies. Starting with:
#1- Nelson (59, Teresa)
#2- Wonka (16, John)
#3-
#4-
#5-
When the challengers play, Marco flames out with Will Smith, apparently misunderstanding the question. Daniel says Free Willy....no. Marian causes the family to strike out, so it's Klena stealing time. Rachel says Mays....another 150 for them, and a total of 233! Others: Shoemaker, Stargell. I'm kinda surprised Chilly Willy wasn't there.
Triple: Past or present, which reality show has the crankiest judges? Great question! Starter(s):
#1- American Idol (80, Derek)
#2-
#3-
#4-
No doubt about it, the champs play. Steve says the show John O' Hurley won on, "Dancing with the Stars".....#2 (13)! Rachel says America's Funniest Home Videos (?!?!)....NO FREAKING WAY! Lynn says "The Gong Show"...NO! John says "Rock Star"....three strikes. This steal will decide the game, and given the subject, the Carrascos may be home free. For the win, Marian says "The Apollo Show" (WHAT?!?!)....they blew it! The Klenas win with 512! The other keys to victory: "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Star Search".
Fast Money: Rachel and Lynn try to repeat the last performance. Questions:
1. The age when women usually lose interest in sex.
2. Someone who might play a big practical joke on you on April Fool's Day.
3. Word or phrase that starts with "chicken".
4. The sport with the most oobnoxious fans.
5. The day where one may feel the most excited after waking up.
Lynn says 40, friends, chicken pox, boxing and birthday for....just 43. Rachel says 60 (#1), teacher, chicken out, football (#1) and Christmas (#1) for....a total of 133...giving them a four-day total of $22,165.

WWTBAM: Back with us is Leah Horowitz fron NYC. She gets up to $25,000 with no problem when gameplay resumes. For $50,000:
Hellen Keller's 1903 autobiography is dedicated to what famous American, who helped put here in touch with Anne Sullivan?
A: Thomas Edison
B: Mark Twain
C: Alexander Graham Bell
D: Harriet Beecher Stowe
She calls her dad, Mark. After he initally says D, he realizes his mistake and says C, and is very sure. Horowitz goes with C.....$50,000 is hers! The $100,000 question he takes, after switching out the first one:
Banned in the U.S., the potent drink absinthe is believed to have hallucinatory effects due to what plant-based ingredient?
A: Eldenberries
B: Wormwood
C: Hemlock
D: Chanterelles
Horowitz eliminates C and D in her mind, but is not sure enough, so she stops at $50,000. The answer was one of her two remaining answers- B.
New player: Marissa Geffen, who was recently a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. She is from Las Vegas, and wants to win a lot in time to get married to Jeff. She zooms all the way to the $25,000 question:
What brand of beverage features bottlecaps that bear the motto, "We're juice guys"?
A: Welch's
B: Veryfine
C: V8
D: Nantucket Nectars
Geffen takes the audience, and 79% say D. She agrees...and has $25,000! For $50,000:
Which of these chart-topping Motown hits was made popular by The Four Tops, and not by The Temptations?
A: "I Can't Help Myself"
B: "My Girl"
C: "Just My Imagination"
D: "Ain't Too Proud to Beg"
She uses the 50:50, and has an idea. The choices left are A and B, and B is her idea. After discussing whether to use more lifelines to be sure, she goes ahead with B as her answer....
should've used more lifelines, because it's A instead. But she does have $25,000 for her future honeymoon.
Donna Andersen starts with the $500 question Wednesday.
When we come back, we see a little of Spoeri magic from Friedman, as he leads $7,600 to Schwiebert's $3,000, and Ennis's $400.
We see Double Jeopardy! having Before and After as a category, and Friedman gets the first three clues in that. Eventually, he has more Spoeri magic, and with $22,000 to Schwiebert's $10,200, he finds the first Daily Double and gets it right, but only bets $500 and goes up to $22,500. Two clues later, he gets the other Daily Double in Literary Europe:
If John Keats had sent a postcard from his last home, it would have been postmarked in this city.
With the accompanying picture, Friedman says What is Florence....no. What is Rome? He only loses $2,000 though, and when the round ends, he's a sure bet to retain with $20,500, although Schwiebert has $10,200.
FJ!: Asia.
Along with Communist China and North Korea, one of the 2 formerly Communist nations bodering Asian Russia.
Correct: What is Kazikstan or Mongolia?
Ennis says Kazikstan, but bets nothing of her $1,800. Schwiebert says Mongolia and risks $6,999 to go up to $17,199. Friedman says Mongolia and wins $20,500, and a two-day total of $32,099.
WOF: Today's players: Tyrone Dudley, Amanda Wandress, and Jennifer Fisher. After getting the $2,000 tossup, Fisher scores big in the first main round with JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN for $12,100....and a trip to Jamaica! Total for Fisher: $20,700.
Wandress quickly solves the next puzzle in Same Name with ANIMAL AND TAX SHELTER for $1,650. She also gets the Wild Card while she's at it.
Speaking of the Wild Card, early on in the $10,000 Mystery Round, Wandress gets $500 and calls three T's. But she then uses the Wild Card (not a wise move), and gets an H for another $500. But this round goes to Dudley, who solves CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC to go to $6,850.
Wandress solves A TON OF FUN for the $3,000 Toss-Up and a total of $4,650.
The next Phrase was a toughie, IMHO. Fisher struggled to get a lot of help with this puzzle before losing control to Dudley, who solves SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE, thanks to the R call late, for another $1,800, and $8,650 total.
Speed-Up: Fisher solves DIRECT SUPERVISOR for game, set and match with $22,400.
For the bonus round, we start with Food and Drink and this:
S _ _ _ E _
_ _ _ _ _
Fisher's choices: H, D, C and A. I wouldn't have called the D myself, because it's obvious that's in the puzzle, but we'll see how it works out....
S _ _ _ E D
_ _ _ D A
...it didn't work out as bad as I expected. I knew it was SMOKED something, but Fisher gets nowhere. The other half was GOUDA (smoking that type of cheese? Mean!). The $30,000 goes out the window again.
TPIR: We start with a birthday boy who's just turned 18- Jake Dolson! He played Range Game for....a Ford Focus Wagon! BTW, the Focus Wagon is being retired by Ford after this year, so if Dolson wins, he'll be one of the last few to have one, if he can afford it. He stops the board at about $18,000-$18,150. Good move, because it's $18,095! Happy birthday! Not only that, he gets into the Showcase!
When we get to the second half, we have an interesting situation. Zachary Bachman played Flip Flop for a trip to Santa Fe. Setup:
5417
He guesses $4,517.....then hits the button before Bob could! Unlike the infamous last time, this is declared a loss, as it's $4,571. Barker keeps his composure, and allows Bachman to plug the commercial break.
Next is Averil Carol, who played Cliffhangers for a player piano. For the first item, we have a recorder. At first, Carol says $250 (?!?!)....thankfully, the audience makes her change his mind and guess $30....which is wrong. It's $15, so the mountain climber (Gwen Stefani not included) goes up 15 steps. For the Story Reader thing, Carol again says $30....and she's on the nose, so the climber stays at 15! For the toaster, Carol says....you guessed it, $30! She's using a conservative strategy similar to what you might find in Lucky Seven. The ARP of the toaster....
...$39, which means she wins it all! And she'll face birthday boy Dolson in the Showcase!
First Showcase has a soda fountain, a home gym, and a Hi-Lo trailer. The birthday boy passes to the weird Cliffhangers lady, who bids $17,000. For the birthday boy, he goes for a dining room, a year's supply of Ghiradelli chocolate, and a trip to Switzerland (again, Gwen Stefani yodeling not included. So sorry). Dolson bids $18,500.
The lady's ARP: $28,900, a difference of $11,900. The birthday boy's showcase ARP is: $14,817, so Averil wins $37,743! Dolson leaves with a birthday cavalcade of $18,982.
Family Feud: Trying for win #4 is the Klena family, against the Carrascos. The champs score 83 first on things people think others waste too much of. The Carrascos fire back with 71 on unwelcome gifts cats give to people.
Double: Famous Willys or Willies. Starting with:
#1- Nelson (59, Teresa)
#2- Wonka (16, John)
#3-
#4-
#5-
When the challengers play, Marco flames out with Will Smith, apparently misunderstanding the question. Daniel says Free Willy....no. Marian causes the family to strike out, so it's Klena stealing time. Rachel says Mays....another 150 for them, and a total of 233! Others: Shoemaker, Stargell. I'm kinda surprised Chilly Willy wasn't there.
Triple: Past or present, which reality show has the crankiest judges? Great question! Starter(s):
#1- American Idol (80, Derek)
#2-
#3-
#4-
No doubt about it, the champs play. Steve says the show John O' Hurley won on, "Dancing with the Stars".....#2 (13)! Rachel says America's Funniest Home Videos (?!?!)....NO FREAKING WAY! Lynn says "The Gong Show"...NO! John says "Rock Star"....three strikes. This steal will decide the game, and given the subject, the Carrascos may be home free. For the win, Marian says "The Apollo Show" (WHAT?!?!)....they blew it! The Klenas win with 512! The other keys to victory: "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Star Search".
Fast Money: Rachel and Lynn try to repeat the last performance. Questions:
1. The age when women usually lose interest in sex.
2. Someone who might play a big practical joke on you on April Fool's Day.
3. Word or phrase that starts with "chicken".
4. The sport with the most oobnoxious fans.
5. The day where one may feel the most excited after waking up.
Lynn says 40, friends, chicken pox, boxing and birthday for....just 43. Rachel says 60 (#1), teacher, chicken out, football (#1) and Christmas (#1) for....a total of 133...giving them a four-day total of $22,165. They'll try to become the seventh undefeated family of this spectacular season tomorrow.

DOND ratings for 11/27

11/27/06 Results
TPIR: As they returned from Thanksgiving Break, Marc Stubbenfield opened the show by playing Lucky Seven for a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix (Std., Mats, Stereo). The first digit is 2. For the second number, Stubbenfield's guess is 1....it's 2, so he gives $1. For the third digit, Stubbenfield says 5....it's 4, so another dollar is gone. For the fourth digit, Stubbenfield guesses 7......it's 7! With $5 left, he's home free, unless he does something stupid. But he doesn't, and wisely says 5 for the last digit, and it's 5 as well, so I do believe he may have tied the all-time best daytime performace in this game! Way to go, Marc!
Daniel is next, after some pretty stupid bidding by the ladies on the next IUFB ($1 on the first bid?!?), playing SHELL GAME for a trip to Victoria, B.C.! The first small item is the Story Reader thing, and it's marked $20. Guess is higher....$30! He places the chip by Shell #2. Next small item is a pitcher, and it's marked $33. Lower is the guess, and it's $22, so he places the chip by Shell #1. Next is a board game ("Worst Case Scenario"), and it's marked price is $40. Guess is lower, and it's $30, so he places the chip by Shell #2. The last item is a frog insulated container, and it's marked price is $50. Guess is lower...and it's $40, so he wins everything! Now, for the $500 bonus, he guesses Shell #2.....it's Shell #1. But he does win the other prizes.
Stubbenfield gets into the Showcase after the first two spinners go over. Then he gets the $1 for $1,000! He'll face Maria in the Showcase.
For the first Showcase, it's the model's having political-like signs at a fake rally. First, we have "Give peas a chance!", which symbolizes having to cook them on a new Heartland range! Second, we have "Just say row", which symbolizes how much people get in shape by rowing their new kayak! And finally, we have "Dare to keep kids off lugs", which means not to carelessly change their tires on their new 2007 Chrysler 300 (Std., Mats)! Stubbenfield bids on this one, and bids $28,550, which sounds good. For Maria, we have ice cream cakes from Cold Stone for a year (I've had two of them in the last few months), an Aico 11-piece dining room, and a Yamaha Phaser snowmobile. Maria bids $22,000.
ARP for Maria: $14,897. She's over, and leaves with parting gifts. As for Marc? His ARP: $33,376, giving him the win and a big grand total of $59,033!
Family Feud: Still going strong, as the Klenas are back to face the Kleppels. The Klenas score first on places you might commonly see rich people at. They go up to 124 on things you might do to people when they sleep on the job.
Double: Name something or someone to avoid while you are on a hangover. Starting with:
#1-
#2- Parents (16, Andrea)
#3- Spouse/mate (15, John)
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Kleppels play. Tricia says kids.....NUMBER ONE (26)! Cynthia says the boss....#5 (9)! Kimberly says alcohol....not there. Ronald says loud noises....#4 (11)! Tricia tries for a sweep with alarm clock....no. One more chance with Tricia, who says food....no sweep for them. For the steal, the champions say bright lights....NO, so the Kleppels jump into the lead with 154! The #6 answer was the clergy (4).
Triple: Someonw you'd wish you'd never have to pick up the phone for. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- In-laws/family (15, Tricia)
#4-
The Kleppels try to win the game here. Cynthia says work....NO. Kimberly says telemarketer....NUMBER ONE (47)! Ronald says the cops.....NO. Andrea says your ex.....#4 (6)! #2 needed for the championship. Tricia says neighbor......NO. So the Klenas try to steal the game with bill collector, and John asks the board for the answer quickly, because he sounds confident it's there.....and IT IS! The Klenas retain the title with 328!
Fast Money: Lynn and Rachel play. Questions:
1. Another word for crazy.
2. A color roses come in besides red.
3. A member of the ape family.
4. Something in a department store fitting room.
5. Somehing you see in the sky on a clear night.

But yellow was #1. For question three, she gives chimpanzee.....35! 19 away. For question four, Rachel says mirror......WIN!! That was #1, and they have a three-day total of $21,500.
WWTBAM: Ed Caballero is our first player today as we return to normal. He is a history teacher from Fort Worth, TX. First question of note from him for $4,000:
In the 1950s, which of these baseball teams temporarily changed its name to avoid any association with Communism?
A: Detroit Tigers
B: Cleveland Indians
C: N.Y. Yankees
D: Cinicnatti Reds
Caballero used the audience, and a whopping 95% say D, not to insult NYC. Caballero says D and is right.
For $16,000:
In architecture, a vertical window set in a gable on a sloping roof is called a what?
A: Stanchion
B: Dormer
C: Marquee
D: Cupola
Caballero uses the 50:50, which leaves A and B. He takes a guess and says B...and is right for $16,000! He then gets up to the $25,000 before seeing this for $50,000:
In 2006, what movie did Entertainment Weekly name the most controverisal movie of all time?
A: "Do the Right Thing"
B: "Farenheit 9/11"
C: "The Passion of the Christ"
D: "The Da Vinci Code"
Caballero wants to say D, but thinks it may be too obvious. After some thought, he guesses that......too obvious. It's actually C, so his game ends right here at $25,000.
New player: Leah Horowitz, an actress from NYC. Last question of the day, for $16,000:
What U.S. coin depicts a President wearing a bow tie?
A: Dime
B: Penny
C: Nickel
D: Quarter
Horowitz asks the audience, and 58% say B, while 30% say A. Horowitz is still unsure, so she uses the 50:50....which leaves B and D. With A gone, Horowitz chooses B....and she's back tomorrow!
WOF: Our players are Erica Curtz, Cyndy Gonzalez, and Todd Azeland. Azeland gets the $10,000 space, but loses his turn a few spins later after repeating a letter already given. When control gets back to him, he solves FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS to win tthe $10,000 and the $1,900 for a total of $11,900! Gonzalez got the $1,000 Toss-Up, and Curtz got the $2,000 one.
We have a wild turn of events near the end of the Jackpot round. Gonzalez lands on the Jackpot space and calls a G, but still can't solve the puzzle. She then gets the Wild Card, but still can't solve the last word of the puzzle ENGRAVED SILVER JEWELRY BOX. Azeland does for $1,000, along with the Free Spin, for $12,900.
The $10,000 in our $10,000 Mystery Round this week comes from LowerMyBills.com.
Cyndy loses the Wild Card late in the round while trying to dechipher the last word of the Prize Puzzle, which is in Food and Drink. They do get back to her, and she picks up a Mediterranean Cruise, $300, and a trip to Mexico by solving FRESHLY PREPARED GUACAMOLE! Total for Gonzalez: $15,439.
Azeland takes the lead back by solving the $3,000 toss-up MOTORCYCLE RALLY. In our speed-up round in the category of Place, Azeland wins the back-and-forth match between him and Gonzalez by solving PENTHOUSE APARTMENT for $21,100!
This week, in addition to the cash, the bonus round offers a BMW X3 3.0i and a Nissan 350Z Roadster. Category is Phrase. We start with:
_ E _ N _
_ _ _
Azeland calls G, D, M and I and gets....
_ E I N G
_ _ _
We know it's BEING something, but can he get that other word? Nope- it was COY, a very hard one. He doesn't win another $30,000.
Jeopardy!: Jeff Spoeri, after being the first 5-time champion of the season, looks for six against Mary Voigt and Ryan Friedman. Spoeri finds the Daily Double early, but misses and has just $400 heading into the first commercial break. It was a tight first round, and we end with the challengers having $5,200 each to Spoeri's $2,800.
In Double Jeopardy!, Spoeri makes quite a few mistakes and falls as low as $1,600, but does get the next few clues to go up to $4,000, while the challengers have $6,000 each. Friedman encounters the first Daily Double in Beetles, and IDs the Hercules beetle for a total of $9,400.
After the round, Spoeri has just $3,600, while Friedman has $9,400 and Voigt has $11,200.
Spoeri still has a shot in FJ!.
FJ! category is First Names:
The first name of both a naval hero and a chracter in "Hamlet", it's from the Latin for "timekeeper".
Spoeri says "Who is Polonius?", and judging from his look, it's wrong. He risked....EVERYTHING! DARN! So he's definitely not coming back tomorrow. Friedman says "Who is Horatio?", and risks $2,199 for a total of $11,599. Voigt says Who is....
Chronus, meaning Friedman is our new champion (I wonder if Harry is proud of this). Spoeri leaves, for now, with $105,103.
DOND: Entering first is Brooks Leach, who bearhugs Howie! He picks #17 as his case.
Round 1: Leach knocks out $25......$5.....$400....$75......$300,000....and $5,000. Offer is root beer for life, worth $26,657.28! But he says No Deal. He's drunk, BTW.
Round 2: Before this began, the six models he selected in Round 1 join Leach at his podium!! Then, he KOs $750, $500, $200, $100,000 and $10,000. Offer is now $66,000. NO DEAL.
Round 3: First choice is #14....$50! Leach chooses #12.....$50,000. Then it's the dreaded #7.....$25,000. And Leach's final choice of #5 is.....$1! The offer now shoots to $119,000!
Some of the models join his guests, as well! NO DEAL.
Round 4: Leach chooses #25......$400,000. He then goes for #4....$1,000. Last is #20 and is asking, literally at his command to be low....boy was it ever- THE PENNY!! Leach is one of the rowdiest contestants I've seen on the show. Offer is now.....$218,000! The banker turns the set dark as they go to break. When they come back, Leach says.....NO DEAL!
Round 5: First of the two picks- #13 and Leyla. Inside that....$200,000. Other pick is #6.....
....$1,000,000- OUT OF HERE. Offer is $152,000. Leach says.....NO DEAL.
One case at a time mode now. Leach's choice now is #10.....$750,000. Ouch, the excitement is almost gone. Offer plummets to $73,000. NO DEAL.
#21 is next....$75,000, but safety net is gone on the $500,000. The offer is now $85,000. Other amounts are $10, $100 and $300. He says......NO DEAL!
#15 is next from Leach.....
....$300!! He's still in the game! Offer is back in six figures, to the tune of.....$147,000! He says....
....NO DEAL. We have only a few minutes left, and I have a bad feeling about this. He picks #18.....
....and sure enough, it is the $500,000. He goes all the way, and ends up with.....
....$10. Third biggest loser on the show.
Daniel is next, after some pretty stupid bidding by the ladies on the next IUFB ($1 on the first bid?!?), playing SHELL GAME for a trip to Victoria, B.C.! The first small item is the Story Reader thing, and it's marked $20. Guess is higher....$30! He places the chip by Shell #2. Next small item is a pitcher, and it's marked $33. Lower is the guess, and it's $22, so he places the chip by Shell #1. Next is a board game ("Worst Case Scenario"), and it's marked price is $40. Guess is lower, and it's $30, so he places the chip by Shell #2. The last item is a frog insulated container, and it's marked price is $50. Guess is lower...and it's $40, so he wins everything! Now, for the $500 bonus, he guesses Shell #2.....it's Shell #1. But he does win the other prizes.
Stubbenfield gets into the Showcase after the first two spinners go over. Then he gets the $1 for $1,000! He'll face Maria in the Showcase.
For the first Showcase, it's the model's having political-like signs at a fake rally. First, we have "Give peas a chance!", which symbolizes having to cook them on a new Heartland range! Second, we have "Just say row", which symbolizes how much people get in shape by rowing their new kayak! And finally, we have "Dare to keep kids off lugs", which means not to carelessly change their tires on their new 2007 Chrysler 300 (Std., Mats)! Stubbenfield bids on this one, and bids $28,550, which sounds good. For Maria, we have ice cream cakes from Cold Stone for a year (I've had two of them in the last few months), an Aico 11-piece dining room, and a Yamaha Phaser snowmobile. Maria bids $22,000.
ARP for Maria: $14,897. She's over, and leaves with parting gifts. As for Marc? His ARP: $33,376, giving him the win and a big grand total of $59,033!

C: "The Passion of the Christ"
D: "The Da Vinci Code"
Caballero wants to say D, but thinks it may be too obvious. After some thought, he guesses that......too obvious. It's actually C, so his game ends right here at $25,000.
New player: Leah Horowitz, an actress from NYC. Last question of the day, for $16,000:
What U.S. coin depicts a President wearing a bow tie?
A: Dime
B: Penny
C: Nickel
D: Quarter
Horowitz asks the audience, and 58% say B, while 30% say A. Horowitz is still unsure, so she uses the 50:50....which leaves B and D. With A gone, Horowitz chooses B....and she's back tomorrow!
WOF: Our players are Erica Curtz, Cyndy Gonzalez, and Todd Azeland. Azeland gets the $10,000 space, but loses his turn a few spins later after repeating a letter already given. When control gets back to him, he solves FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS to win tthe $10,000 and the $1,900 for a total of $11,900! Gonzalez got the $1,000 Toss-Up, and Curtz got the $2,000 one.
We have a wild turn of events near the end of the Jackpot round. Gonzalez lands on the Jackpot space and calls a G, but still can't solve the puzzle. She then gets the Wild Card, but still can't solve the last word of the puzzle ENGRAVED SILVER JEWELRY BOX. Azeland does for $1,000, along with the Free Spin, for $12,900.
The $10,000 in our $10,000 Mystery Round this week comes from LowerMyBills.com.
Cyndy loses the Wild Card late in the round while trying to dechipher the last word of the Prize Puzzle, which is in Food and Drink. They do get back to her, and she picks up a Mediterranean Cruise, $300, and a trip to Mexico by solving FRESHLY PREPARED GUACAMOLE! Total for Gonzalez: $15,439.
Azeland takes the lead back by solving the $3,000 toss-up MOTORCYCLE RALLY. In our speed-up round in the category of Place, Azeland wins the back-and-forth match between him and Gonzalez by solving PENTHOUSE APARTMENT for $21,100!
This week, in addition to the cash, the bonus round offers a BMW X3 3.0i and a Nissan 350Z Roadster. Category is Phrase. We start with:
_ E _ N _
_ _ _
Azeland calls G, D, M and I and gets....
_ E I N G
_ _ _
We know it's BEING something, but can he get that other word? Nope- it was COY, a very hard one. He doesn't win another $30,000.
Jeopardy!: Jeff Spoeri, after being the first 5-time champion of the season, looks for six against Mary Voigt and Ryan Friedman. Spoeri finds the Daily Double early, but misses and has just $400 heading into the first commercial break. It was a tight first round, and we end with the challengers having $5,200 each to Spoeri's $2,800.
In Double Jeopardy!, Spoeri makes quite a few mistakes and falls as low as $1,600, but does get the next few clues to go up to $4,000, while the challengers have $6,000 each. Friedman encounters the first Daily Double in Beetles, and IDs the Hercules beetle for a total of $9,400.
After the round, Spoeri has just $3,600, while Friedman has $9,400 and Voigt has $11,200.
Spoeri still has a shot in FJ!.
FJ! category is First Names:
The first name of both a naval hero and a chracter in "Hamlet", it's from the Latin for "timekeeper".
Spoeri says "Who is Polonius?", and judging from his look, it's wrong. He risked....EVERYTHING! DARN! So he's definitely not coming back tomorrow. Friedman says "Who is Horatio?", and risks $2,199 for a total of $11,599. Voigt says Who is....
Chronus, meaning Friedman is our new champion (I wonder if Harry is proud of this). Spoeri leaves, for now, with $105,103.
DOND: Entering first is Brooks Leach, who bearhugs Howie! He picks #17 as his case.
Round 1: Leach knocks out $25......$5.....$400....$75......$300,000....and $5,000. Offer is root beer for life, worth $26,657.28! But he says No Deal. He's drunk, BTW.
Round 2: Before this began, the six models he selected in Round 1 join Leach at his podium!! Then, he KOs $750, $500, $200, $100,000 and $10,000. Offer is now $66,000. NO DEAL.
Round 3: First choice is #14....$50! Leach chooses #12.....$50,000. Then it's the dreaded #7.....$25,000. And Leach's final choice of #5 is.....$1! The offer now shoots to $119,000!
Some of the models join his guests, as well! NO DEAL.
Round 4: Leach chooses #25......$400,000. He then goes for #4....$1,000. Last is #20 and is asking, literally at his command to be low....boy was it ever- THE PENNY!! Leach is one of the rowdiest contestants I've seen on the show. Offer is now.....$218,000! The banker turns the set dark as they go to break. When they come back, Leach says.....NO DEAL!
Round 5: First of the two picks- #13 and Leyla. Inside that....$200,000. Other pick is #6.....
....$1,000,000- OUT OF HERE. Offer is $152,000. Leach says.....NO DEAL.
One case at a time mode now. Leach's choice now is #10.....$750,000. Ouch, the excitement is almost gone. Offer plummets to $73,000. NO DEAL.
#21 is next....$75,000, but safety net is gone on the $500,000. The offer is now $85,000. Other amounts are $10, $100 and $300. He says......NO DEAL!
#15 is next from Leach.....
....$300!! He's still in the game! Offer is back in six figures, to the tune of.....$147,000! He says....
....NO DEAL. We have only a few minutes left, and I have a bad feeling about this. He picks #18.....
....and sure enough, it is the $500,000. He goes all the way, and ends up with.....
....$10. Third biggest loser on the show.
This Week in Game Shows: Nov. 27- Dec. 3

RECAP: Amazing Race X- Stage 10
We're now in the final four. Who will make it to the $1,000,000 finals, and who won't?
Clue #1: Travel about 3,000 miles by plane to Quarzazate, Morocco. They must go to an antique shop and pick from one of four good luck charms. If the good luck charm the team brings matches the one on Phil Keoghan, they win the prize for this stage. After they pick their charm, they will get their next clue.
Lyn and Karilyn get here first while in the dark. In a flip-flop of the standings from the last stage, not only are they first, Rob and Kimberly are second at this point, Tyler and James are third, and Dustin and Kandace are last.
Clue #2: Travel 6 miles by car to Atlas Studios, located in a desert town. This place was used to shoot films like "Gladiator". Once they get there, they'll get their next clue.
Some teams, especially Tyler and James, get here early in the dark, as the place doesn't open until I do believe, 8 AM. Thus, we are now at an even playing field.
Also at Atlas Studios is a Yield. Remember, when a team encounters the Yield station, they can opt to have one of the other teams be forced to wait for a minute or two before they can continue to race. Each team can use a Yield only once in the entire race. Dustin and Kandace choose to yield Lyn and Karilyn.
Roadblock: One person on each team must get on a chariot horse and ride a race with it. While riding, they must grab two flags whose color matches the one of their horse's flume. Once they do that, they can turn them in to an official to get their next clue.
Tyler and James are back into the lead at this point, and are confident Dustin and Kandace will do poorly in this Roadblock, given their past.
It appears Dustin and Kandace finish this first, but they make a big mistake by continuing to trash talk at the team they yielded, Lyn and Karilyn. As a result, Rob and Kimberly take over the lead.
Clue #4: Travel 22 miles to Idelsan, and find Cafe Pirgola to get their next clue.
Rob and Kimberly and Dustin and Kandace join together on this task, at least for the time being. While they are driving, however, their car has a flat tire. They try to fool a team into thinking they have a flat tire, but it doesn't work. Thus, Rob and Kimberly slip to last.
Detour: Throw It or Grind It.
Throw It: Teams must go to a pottery shop. They must use a pottery wheel to throw two pots. Once the pots are approved by an official, they'll get their next clue.
Grind It: Teams must go back four miles to the North Africa Horse Ranch and Olive Farm. There, they must use an olive mill to grind 77 pounds of olives, and they must fill their pressing sleeves. Once done, they'll get their next clue.
In both of these tasks, only three workstations are available.
All teams do the Grind It task. Tyler and James are back in the lead heading into....
Pit Stop: Teams must travel 25 miles to the Nomadic Berber Camp, where one team may be the final team eliminated before the $1,000,000 finals.
Tyler and James finish first. Now, about their lucky charm....it matches, and they win a Sprint Trio device with one year's worth of service!
Lyn and Karilyn finish a close second behind them.
Rob and Kimberly are third, which means....
DEAD LAST: Dustin and Kandace......
....but, they are told this is the last of the non-elimination legs, so they stay in the race. However, they are marked for elimination in the next leg. Remember, in this situation, to avoid a 30-minute trip to the Penalty Box, Dustin and Kandace must finish first. A penalty could make or break their fate, because in the next leg, somebody WILL be eliminated.
Who will make it to the finals? Tune in next week to find out!

MVP and Big Winners for Nov. 20-26
This week, I have decided to declare CO MVPs, because I'm in such a good mood at this time of the holiday season. They are as follows:
Paulara Hawkins ("Show Me the Money") AND the Shumates ("Family Feud")
At the beginning of the week, the Shumates succeded in winning an undefeated crown. Although they fell just short of setting a new five-day record, the family will still go down as one of the best families to ever play the game in the many seasons of the current version of Feud, and have $42,810 to show for it.
At midweek, Hawkins took Mr. Shatner for $740,000, becoming ABC's all-time biggest female winner on a non-reality game show.
Other big winners this week:
Jeff Spoeri- Current 5-day champion with $104,103 ("Jeopardy!")
Alyx Mark- $100,000 ("WWTBAM")
Mackeys- Undefeated champions with $42,390 ("Family Feud")
Zani Hensler- First ever car winner at $83,755 ("Deal or No Deal")
Joe Kaiser- $59,000 ("Deal or No Deal")
Gregory Dutchett- $51,666 ("The Price is Right")
Breann Vular- $50,000 ("WWTBAM")
Tira Walker- $46,000 ("Deal or No Deal")

Thanksgiving DOND ratings
The rating for Thursday's Deal or No Deal Thanksgiving Special averaged a respectable 6.5 rating. The show had a 6 rating for the first hour, and 7 for hour two.
11/24/06 Results
WWTBAM: Time to wrap up what has been a great College Week. Returning is Jenna Duffy from Ohio State. For $25,000:
On a 2006 "Daily Show" episode, Jon Stewart offered tea and a Twinkie to Pervez Musharraf, the president of what country?
A: India
B: Pakistan
C: Turkey
D: Azerbaijan
Duffy calls Tim for help. Tim barely gets Pakistan out, but we run out of time before we can see if he's sure or not. Duffy wisely uses the 50:50, and Pakistan is still there, along with Turkey. She admits she doesn't make decisions very well. After some thought, she stops at $16,000. Unofrtunately for her, Pakistan was the right answer, thus meaning she misses out on a shot at the bigger money.
Our possible last contestant this week is Katie Waltman from Northern Illinois University, and she brings along two cheerleaders. She used the 50:50 on one of her first five questions.
But she does much better after that, getting up to this $25,000 question, which I know:
In an infamous 2006 accident, Dick Chaney shot Harry Whittington while they were hunting for what?
A: Deer
B: Quail
C: Rabbits
D: Turkeys (!)
Waltman calls Brian for help. He says quail, which Waltman is pretty sure of (NO!!!!). She picks it anyway....BUT I'M WRONG, and she's right for $25,000! I thought for sure it was deer.
Unfortunately, that's all she would get, as none of her $50,000 questions do her any good.
But still, this was by far the best College Week since the last one that was done on the original ABC version. We get back to regular shows next time. Hope to see you then.
Family Feud: In Game #1, it's the Klenas defending against the Hines family. The Hines squad scores 91 on things you might still have from your boyfriend. The Klenas fire back with 94 by naming most of the excuses students give teachers for not doing their homework.
Double: Things gamblers do before rolling the dice. Starting with:
#1- Blow on dice (63, Tish)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
Not surprisngly, the challengers play. Stacey says kiss the dice....#2 (13)! Teria says give the dice friction....not there. Lucille says pray.... #4 (8)! Leon says talk to the dice....but it's not there. Tish says wish to the dice....strikeout. For the Klena steal, Rachel says shake the dice....#3 (10) for the lead at 262! I'm surprised nobody said bet, and I'm also surprised it was #5 (2).
Triple: An important lesson you always have to teach your son. Starting with:
#1- Respect/manners (63, Derek)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The Klenas play. Steve says bring flowers....no. Rachel says drive with ambition (?!?!)....NO WAY. Lynn says don't bite your nails....NO! So because of the champs' poor showing with that, the Hines family can't win at this point, but they must get one of the three remaining answers to force a playoff. Lucille tries lift the toilet seat down.....playoff time! Other answers: clean home/body, don't lie/morals.
Sudden Death: Steve and Taria represent. Question: Something a person might brag about at a class reunion. The #1 answer of job was said by.....Steve, so the Klenas win again at 445!
Fast Money: Klenas try again, with Rachel and Lynn. Questions:
1. A part of the body that can be bigger than you think.
2. At what age is a woman most fascinated?
3. Something everyone should learn to do.
4. An ice cream shop topping.
5. The most expensive thing at your house.
Lynn says butt (#1), 35, ride a bike, chocolate syrup (#1), and big screen TV for.....triple 1s! Rachel says thighs first....only 7. 20 is next....only 2. She then says play sports....ZERO?!? What? #1 answer for question three was drive. The last answers of sprinkles and jewelry add 15 for a total of 135 and $675. Total for now for them: an even $1,500.
In Game #2, it's the Sims defending their crown against the Leonards. The champs score first on things women have on their minds 90% of the time with 75. The Lenoards struggle to 30 points on phrases that start with "make".
Double: Things you hate to see a dentist hold in your face. Starting with:
#1- Drill (62, Sonny)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Sims play. Steve says injection....#2 (12)! Janet says strightener....#3 (11)! Linbeth says cement....no. Sharon says teeth....#4 (8)! Back to Sonny, who says the bill....#5 (2)! Steve tries for all 194 with air compressor...no. Janet tries medicine....no. For 190, the Lenoards try to steal with anastesia....NO, so the Sims are at 265. #6 was gums.
Triple: Things kids brag about their fathers. Starter (s):
#1- Big/strong (43, Alex)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The Leonards play to stay alive, maybe win. Joe says being smart....#3 (7). Next to be said is make more money than anyone.....#2 (29)! One more for a shot at Sudden Death. Chris gives a bad answer. Pete says he's fast for a playoff....NO. Alex says he drives a nice car for a playoff....NO. To win the game, the Sims say he's got good looks.....YES! They win at 502!
Fast Money: Will the third time be the charm for Janet and Linbeth? Questions:
1. Name something you're glad you have two of instead of one.
2. The age when women typically have celluite.
3. The state with a lot of farms.
4. The first thing you want when you feel sick.
5. A big animal with a tiny brain.
Linbeth tries hands, 40, Nebraska, sleep (#1) and elephant (#1) for....117! Janet says feet....only 7. They were in the right direction- eyes was number one. 36 is too oddball for any points. Idaho is next for 9, with the #1 answer for the state Iowa. Mother is next for the fourth question....11, so they're all but out of this. That's the last points they get, as the last answer of gorilla is a zero. They finish with 144, good for $720, and a total of $2,265 for three games.
WOF: I joined this show at the start of the second round, the Jackpot round, due to football.
Sheyla lost the Wild Card she earned in Round 1 at the start of this round. Brandon catches fire, and doesn't lose control, solving THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE for cash and a trip to Canada, since this was the Prize Puzzle Round. He has $12,900. The blue contestant, Donna, has $4,900 so far.
Brandon wastes his Free Spin at the start of the $10,000 Mystery Round, but does pick up the Hawaii trip. Sheila finds the $10,000 Mystery Wedge. The category of this puzzle is Food and Drink. Donna continues to have good look calling the Z this show, and as a result solves CHICAGO STYLE DEEP-DISH PIZZA to go up to $7,950.
In our Speed-Up round, Donna wins $8,000 with FINISH WHAT WE'VE STARTED, and wins the match by $350, $15,950-$15,600! Shiela leaves with $1,000.
Bonus round category is Food and Drink. Not bad! She lands on the last 0. The big six gives her:
_ R _ _ N
_ R _ _ _
I'm thinking it's GROWN or URBAN something so far. She chooses F, D, C and A and gets...
_ R _ _ N
_ R A _ _
We both drew a blank, despite the category. It was BROWN GRAVY, and the Mazda MX-5 goes back to the garage. Not too much luck with the bonus round spins this week, as all the prizes offered were pretty cheap, so an 0-5 shutout on the week wouldn't have been too depressing.
But we did have one bonus round win, though.
Jeopardy!: Will we FINALLY have a five-time champ this season? Jeff Spoeri tries as he faces Teresa Cahalan and Jacob Cytryn. Spoeri leads Cahalan $3,800 to $2,000 heading into the first break. After the round, Spoeri only leads by $1,000, $6,600-$5,600.
In Double Jeopardy!, Spoeri gets on one of his rolls, and has $19,0000, but Cytryn tries to get into the match with this Daily Double on James:
The James who warned that the Americas are "not to be considered as subjects for future colonization".
To go up to $7,000, Cytryn says "Who is James Monroe?"....and is right!
With the scores of $19,000 to $9,000, and $8,400 for Calahan in third place, she hits the other Daily Double in Before and After. For $3,000....
Toronto freaks when this 1,815' landmark becomes a medieval fortress on the north bank of the Thames.
Calahan says.....nothing. What is the CN Tower of London? She drops to $5,400.
Jacob gets quite a few of the remaining clues on the board, and it's between him and Jeff, as Jeff leads $19,800 to his $13,400. Teresa's the odd person out with $4,600.
FJ! category: Word Origins.
Meaning to ascribe predetermined characteristics, this word comes from a printing process using metal plates.
Calahan says "What is to engrave?"....Good guess, but wrong. She loses everything, so she is out of this, and leaves with $1,000. It's all down to Cytryn and Spoeri. Cytryn says "What is stereotype?"....RIGHT! He risks just $4,008, and has $17,408. Thus, he needs Spoeri to make a big mistake. The champ wrote down.....
....THE RIGHT RESPONSE- OUR FIRST FIVE-TIME CHAMP OF THE SEASON IS JEFF SPEORI!!! He wins $26,801, and a total of $104,103! And he's back Monday to go for more!

So because of the champs' poor showing with that, the Hines family can't win at this point, but they must get one of the three remaining answers to force a playoff. Lucille tries lift the toilet seat down.....playoff time! Other answers: clean home/body, don't lie/morals.
Sudden Death: Steve and Taria represent. Question: Something a person might brag about at a class reunion. The #1 answer of job was said by.....Steve, so the Klenas win again at 445!
Fast Money: Klenas try again, with Rachel and Lynn. Questions:
1. A part of the body that can be bigger than you think.
2. At what age is a woman most fascinated?
3. Something everyone should learn to do.
4. An ice cream shop topping.
5. The most expensive thing at your house.
Lynn says butt (#1), 35, ride a bike, chocolate syrup (#1), and big screen TV for.....triple 1s! Rachel says thighs first....only 7. 20 is next....only 2. She then says play sports....ZERO?!? What? #1 answer for question three was drive. The last answers of sprinkles and jewelry add 15 for a total of 135 and $675. Total for now for them: an even $1,500.
In Game #2, it's the Sims defending their crown against the Leonards. The champs score first on things women have on their minds 90% of the time with 75. The Lenoards struggle to 30 points on phrases that start with "make".
Double: Things you hate to see a dentist hold in your face. Starting with:
#1- Drill (62, Sonny)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Sims play. Steve says injection....#2 (12)! Janet says strightener....#3 (11)! Linbeth says cement....no. Sharon says teeth....#4 (8)! Back to Sonny, who says the bill....#5 (2)! Steve tries for all 194 with air compressor...no. Janet tries medicine....no. For 190, the Lenoards try to steal with anastesia....NO, so the Sims are at 265. #6 was gums.
Triple: Things kids brag about their fathers. Starter (s):
#1- Big/strong (43, Alex)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The Leonards play to stay alive, maybe win. Joe says being smart....#3 (7). Next to be said is make more money than anyone.....#2 (29)! One more for a shot at Sudden Death. Chris gives a bad answer. Pete says he's fast for a playoff....NO. Alex says he drives a nice car for a playoff....NO. To win the game, the Sims say he's got good looks.....YES! They win at 502!
Fast Money: Will the third time be the charm for Janet and Linbeth? Questions:
1. Name something you're glad you have two of instead of one.
2. The age when women typically have celluite.
3. The state with a lot of farms.
4. The first thing you want when you feel sick.
5. A big animal with a tiny brain.
Linbeth tries hands, 40, Nebraska, sleep (#1) and elephant (#1) for....117! Janet says feet....only 7. They were in the right direction- eyes was number one. 36 is too oddball for any points. Idaho is next for 9, with the #1 answer for the state Iowa. Mother is next for the fourth question....11, so they're all but out of this. That's the last points they get, as the last answer of gorilla is a zero. They finish with 144, good for $720, and a total of $2,265 for three games.
WOF: I joined this show at the start of the second round, the Jackpot round, due to football.
Sheyla lost the Wild Card she earned in Round 1 at the start of this round. Brandon catches fire, and doesn't lose control, solving THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE for cash and a trip to Canada, since this was the Prize Puzzle Round. He has $12,900. The blue contestant, Donna, has $4,900 so far.
Brandon wastes his Free Spin at the start of the $10,000 Mystery Round, but does pick up the Hawaii trip. Sheila finds the $10,000 Mystery Wedge. The category of this puzzle is Food and Drink. Donna continues to have good look calling the Z this show, and as a result solves CHICAGO STYLE DEEP-DISH PIZZA to go up to $7,950.
In our Speed-Up round, Donna wins $8,000 with FINISH WHAT WE'VE STARTED, and wins the match by $350, $15,950-$15,600! Shiela leaves with $1,000.
Bonus round category is Food and Drink. Not bad! She lands on the last 0. The big six gives her:
_ R _ _ N
_ R _ _ _
I'm thinking it's GROWN or URBAN something so far. She chooses F, D, C and A and gets...
_ R _ _ N
_ R A _ _
We both drew a blank, despite the category. It was BROWN GRAVY, and the Mazda MX-5 goes back to the garage. Not too much luck with the bonus round spins this week, as all the prizes offered were pretty cheap, so an 0-5 shutout on the week wouldn't have been too depressing.
But we did have one bonus round win, though.
Jeopardy!: Will we FINALLY have a five-time champ this season? Jeff Spoeri tries as he faces Teresa Cahalan and Jacob Cytryn. Spoeri leads Cahalan $3,800 to $2,000 heading into the first break. After the round, Spoeri only leads by $1,000, $6,600-$5,600.
In Double Jeopardy!, Spoeri gets on one of his rolls, and has $19,0000, but Cytryn tries to get into the match with this Daily Double on James:
The James who warned that the Americas are "not to be considered as subjects for future colonization".
To go up to $7,000, Cytryn says "Who is James Monroe?"....and is right!
With the scores of $19,000 to $9,000, and $8,400 for Calahan in third place, she hits the other Daily Double in Before and After. For $3,000....
Toronto freaks when this 1,815' landmark becomes a medieval fortress on the north bank of the Thames.
Calahan says.....nothing. What is the CN Tower of London? She drops to $5,400.
Jacob gets quite a few of the remaining clues on the board, and it's between him and Jeff, as Jeff leads $19,800 to his $13,400. Teresa's the odd person out with $4,600.
FJ! category: Word Origins.
Meaning to ascribe predetermined characteristics, this word comes from a printing process using metal plates.
Calahan says "What is to engrave?"....Good guess, but wrong. She loses everything, so she is out of this, and leaves with $1,000. It's all down to Cytryn and Spoeri. Cytryn says "What is stereotype?"....RIGHT! He risks just $4,008, and has $17,408. Thus, he needs Spoeri to make a big mistake. The champ wrote down.....
....THE RIGHT RESPONSE- OUR FIRST FIVE-TIME CHAMP OF THE SEASON IS JEFF SPEORI!!! He wins $26,801, and a total of $104,103! And he's back Monday to go for more!

DOND: Thanksgiving Show
Joe Kaiser is back, and is in pretty good shape. Left on the board right now: $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $300,000, $400,000, and $750,000. We're in one case mode now.
We get a cameo appearance from Bob Costas and "Football Night in America".
His choice is now: #15. It has....... $750,000. The offer sinks to $85,000. Kaiser says.....NO DEAL.
New choice: #25, another multiple of 5. That last choice was really bad. This choice was.....
....just as bad, $400,000. Offer down to: $59,000. Kaiser says with this recent bad luck,
he takes the deal. His case had the $10,000.
Next: Nani Spears. Spears gives Howie a pie from South Carolina. Remember last night on "Show Me the Money" when Paulara Hawkins gave the host a pie? She wound up winning $740,000. Let's see if Spears has such luck on DOND. Her case choice: #17.
BTW, for this game only, the $25 case is replaced by a turkey. And everyone in the audience tonight got one.
Round 1: Spears picks #3 for her son....good news, it's just the first pick. Bad news: the million's gone already. Things don't go much better after that, as she knocks out $200,000, $400,000, and $500,000, with $10 and $400 as the only good KOs. Offer is a measly $4,000, which is an automatic NO DEAL.
Round 2: #21 starts things off with $1,000 eliminated. Next is #4.....$750. #10 is next....$300.
Next is #26..... $300,000. And she loses the $750,000 on the last pick, so obviously the giving the pie trick hasn't worked so well on this show. She says NO DEAL to $9,000.
Round 3: She doesn't knock off too much big figures this time, but the offer only improves to $11,000. Obvious NO DEAL.
Round 4: Spears tries #16.....$75,000 is out. Bad luck continues. #12 is next.....$200. Last pick from Spears: #8........$50. Alright round. Offer is now: $17,000 AND a chance to have Howie pie the banker! What does she say? NO DEAL. Darn.
Round 5: Another OK round, and the offer is now $22,000. Spears says....NO DEAL.
Round 6: One case at a time mode now. Spears says #6.......$500! Offer is now: $26,000.
Spears this time says....NO DEAL.
Cases left at this point: The ZONK case (TURKEY), $75, $10,000, $25,000, and $100,000.
Round 7: Spears lets her love dove father choose. #24 is chosen......IT'S THE TURKEY!!!
Offer is now: $33,000. She says....DEAL! That's her money! Before we find out what's in her case, Howie decides to pie the banker anyway!!!
As for what she could have had? It was the $100,000.
BTW, Tammi Fuller, the second $1,000,000 loser, wound up getting the Jets tickets pacakage anyway, thanks to Curtis Martin.
Last contestant tonight: Tira Walker. Selection is #3.
Round 1: $10 case this time replaced with pumpkin pie, another ZONK. Also, a green case is in play. If Walker keeps the $1,000,000 through two rounds, she automatically wins what's in that case. She knocks out $300,000.......$100......$1,000,000 (DOH, so the green case is out of play, at least for now).....$750,000.....$500,000....and $100,000. She has as much bad luck as our last player. She says NO DEAL to $5,000.
Round 2: #1 is chosen....$400,000's out. After this round, the offer only goes to $9,000. Obvious NO DEAL.
Round 3: Her four selections included $1 and $5. NO DEAL again.
Round 4: She gets rid of $5,000, $400, and the penny. Offer is now $24,000. NO DEAL.
Round 5: The pumpkin pie's gone at this point, BTW. She picks #4 first.....$25,000. Other pick is #12....$25. Offer is now: $37,000.
In the last featurette, the Banker is thankful for the three smallest winners on the show so far- Dana Steele ($50), Brett Kurtz ($8), and Cheryl Jackson ($5).
Back to the game, NO DEAL is said by Walker, moving us into one case mode.
Walker takes #5....$50! The offer is now $46,000. Walker says....DEAL, as expected, because we are nearing the end of the show. Her case had: $500.
That's all for tonight. IMO, if it hadn't been for those joke prizes tonight, tonight's show would have been the worst this season.

Family Feud: In Game #1 on this Thanksgiving, the Reynolds clan defends against the Klenas.
The challengers score first with 60 on things people might hold while on a bumpy airline flight.
The Reynolds family fires back with the full 100 on things you might find in both a wedding and a funeral.
Double: Something your mother tells you never to do at a dinner table. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3-
#4- Elbows on table (10, Meghan)
#5-
#6-
The champions play. Scott says burping....#2 (18)! Carissa says answer telephone (?!?!)....NO WAY. Bob says feed the dog scraps (?!?!?).....another horrible answer. Kristi says a much better answer in talking with your mouth full....NUMBER ONE (24)! Back to Meghan, who says slurp your drink....strikeout. For the steal for the Klenas, Rachel says play with your food. Sounds good.....and it is there for 104 and 164 total! Other answers: Fight (10), eat with fingers (5).
Triple: The worst thing you could leave on top of your car when you drive away. Starting with:
#1-
#2- Wallet/purse (22, Scott)
#3-
#4-
Of course, the champs play. Carissa says briefcase.....NO. Bob says drinks......NUMBER ONE (38)! Kristin says cell phone...can you hear me......NO. Meghan says nothing, so this steal is for the game. Rachel of the Klenas says sunglasses.....NO, so we go to Sudden Death, because the failed steal only gives the champs 280. Other answers: Baby/child (17), food (9).
Sudden Death: Carissa and Steve play. Question: Something a family should plan ahead of time in the event of a fire. The right answer of escape route/exit comes from......Steve, so we have new champs in the Klenas at 398! The champs leave with $20,570.
Fast Money: Lynn and Steve take the board. Questions:
1. Something of yours you don't want other people touching.
2. A food with a strong smell.
3. Something in the morning that makes you rise and shine.
4. The age in which you have your first drink.
5. Something dogs like to chase.
Lynn says purse, cheese, alarm clock, 18 (#1), and cats (#1) for.....119. Steve says hairbrush for the first question....NOTHING. Another nothing for question two, as Steve drew a blank. Sunshine is next.....#1 at 23, so 58 to go. 16 is next.....23! Not bad, giving them 165. Last answer for the dog chasing is birds. 35 is needed....but it's another zero. They take $825.
For Game #2, it's the Sims defending against the Browns. The Sims score first with 68 on excuses men give for not attending church. They go up to 141 on places you wish had a cell phone restriction rule.
Double: People say you can't take some things with you. Name one of them you wish you could.
Starting with:
#1- Money (34, Sonny)
#2- Spouse (14, Caren)
#3-
#4-
#5-
The champs play. Steve says your car.....NO. Janet says a dog.....all pets are #3 (11)! Linbeth says teachers....NO. Sharon says your work......three strikes. The Browns try to steal with Delicia's answer of house.....NO, so the Sims are at 259. Other answers: jewelry and pictures (5 people said those answers apiece).
Triple: Something that starts with German. Starter (s):
#1- Chocolate cake (48, Chavonne)
#2- Shepherd (36, Steve)
#3-
#4-
The Browns play. Sylicia says a car....nope. Delicia says pie......also a bad one. Another strike is given afterwards, so the Sims try to end this game with Linbeth's answer of measles.....and they win at 511! #4 was potato salad (5).
Fast Money: Linbeth and Sonny play. Questions:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you worry about your appearance (Think 10 was #1?)
2. A swimming animal.
3. Something you've done for you country.
4. Something you've served at a Super Bowl party.
5. Something a man looks distinguished with.
Sonny says 8 (#1), otter, serve in the miltary, beer and moustache for....77. Linbeth says ten (not #1 this time), fish, vote (#1), pizza and grey hair for.....168, giving them a total of $1,525 so far.
WOF: On this Thanksgiving, we have Isabel Alezando, Susan Rucar, and Rob Greyhouse.
Alezando gets both of the opening toss-ups for $3,000. Susan gets the Wild Card, but loses it fairly quickly. But she does solve PLYMOUTH ROCK DRUMMER that round to win $2,800.
Greyhouse threatens the Jackpot when it's almost $10,000. He can't solve the puzzle then, but is able to solve CANDIED YAMS WITH MARSHMELLOWS, which sounds like a food we might eat on Thanksgiving for $8,550, including a $1,000 gift certificate from Hello Kitty, I do believe.
The $10,000 Mystery Round is also tonight's Prize Puzzle Round. Rucar calls a D, and with $5,400, opts to take $2,000 instead of the shot at $10,000. But she hit a Bankrupt on her next spin. Isabel steals with WOOD VENETIAN BLINDS for a trip to Italy, and combined with the $3,000 in Toss-Up money, she trails Greyhouse by $1,050.
Alezando takes over the lead with THROWING DARTS on the last Toss-Up to go to $10,500.
At the start of the next round, she lands on $5,000 and calls an S on an On the Map puzzle, and there are four for $20,000! She reveals all of MISSISSIPPI, but we have to know the city. She then calls an O, but only one pops up, and the first part reads _ _ P _ _ O. She hits a Lose a Turn, but we do get back to her when we get to Speed-Up mode. She calls an R then....not there. Rucar solves TUPELO MISSISSIPPI to foil Alezando's big money payoff with $4,200 total, but Alezando wins anyway with $10,500.
On this Thanksgiving, Alezando's Bonus Round category is Phrase. We start out with:
_ E T _
_ _ _ E R
She calls H, G, M and A and gets....
_ E T _
_ _ _ E R
...nothing, and we get nothing from her. Apparently she's not a "Big Brother" fan, because the answer was VETO POWER. The O's might have won her another $25,000.
Jeopardy!: Sarah Ramer and Carl Swanson tried to stop Jeff Spoeri from going for a 5-day title on Friday. Spoeri doesn't dominate as well as he did yesterday, but led $5,200 to Ramer's $3,200 and Swanson's $2,200.
When we get to Double Jeopardy!, it's almost just a battle between Speori and Ramer. Ramer finds the first Daily Double in "EX" Words. For $4,000 and the lead, as she trails $12,400 from Spoeri to her $8,800....
In the presidential oath of office, the word that fits the category.
I know this, but does she? "What is Exercise?" NO! What is Execute. She trails even further from Spoeri at $4,800. A few clues later, Swanson gets into the mix, and takes second place from Ramer. With "The American Revolution" left, Spoeri tries to randomly find the other Daily Double, and fails to find it the first two times. He finds it on the third try, and bets $3,000....
In January 1778 George Washington found out about plans for invading this land and called the plot "The Child of Folly".
Spoeri says "What is Canada?". He's right, but doesn't wager enough to close it out. Scores heading into the final: Spoeri with $17,800, Swanson has $9,400, and Ramer has $5,200.
Category: 1970s TV:
Bruce Peterson, a NASA test pilot, helped inspre this series: The crash he survived was seen in the show's opening credits.
Ramer says "What is Wings?"...Not it. But she didn't wager a dime. Swanson says "What is Intrepid?"....also not right. He drops all the way to $200. Spoeri is all but in the clear, as he says, "What is The Six Million Dollar Man".....he's RIGHT, so he definitely wins with a total of $18,801, and has a four-day total of $77,302. Will we finally have a five-day champion? Tune in tomorrow, if you can....
On The Princeton's Review 2007 list of top party schools, what college was ranked most "stone cold sober" for the ninth straight year?
A: Southern Methodist University
B: TCU
C: U.S. Naval Academy
D: BYU
She calls her father, Trix, for help. He guesses BYU, but is not sure. As for Mark, she guesses it anyway.....horrible guess.....so horrible it's worth $25,000!
For $50,000, after switching out....
Pop singer Dido shares her name with a prominent character from what classic work of literature?
A: The Aeneid
B: Beowulf
C: The Canterbury Tales
D: Antigone
She's leaning towards A or D. She guesses A.....RIGHT! For $100,000....
In degrees Farenheit, what is the temperature range on the Sun's surface, also known as the photosphere?
A: 6,000-11,000
B: 20,000-25,000
C: 98,000-103,000
D: 161,000-166,000

#5-
#6-
The champions play. Scott says burping....#2 (18)! Carissa says answer telephone (?!?!)....NO WAY. Bob says feed the dog scraps (?!?!?).....another horrible answer. Kristi says a much better answer in talking with your mouth full....NUMBER ONE (24)! Back to Meghan, who says slurp your drink....strikeout. For the steal for the Klenas, Rachel says play with your food. Sounds good.....and it is there for 104 and 164 total! Other answers: Fight (10), eat with fingers (5).
Triple: The worst thing you could leave on top of your car when you drive away. Starting with:
#1-
#2- Wallet/purse (22, Scott)
#3-
#4-
Of course, the champs play. Carissa says briefcase.....NO. Bob says drinks......NUMBER ONE (38)! Kristin says cell phone...can you hear me......NO. Meghan says nothing, so this steal is for the game. Rachel of the Klenas says sunglasses.....NO, so we go to Sudden Death, because the failed steal only gives the champs 280. Other answers: Baby/child (17), food (9).
Sudden Death: Carissa and Steve play. Question: Something a family should plan ahead of time in the event of a fire. The right answer of escape route/exit comes from......Steve, so we have new champs in the Klenas at 398! The champs leave with $20,570.
Fast Money: Lynn and Steve take the board. Questions:
1. Something of yours you don't want other people touching.
2. A food with a strong smell.
3. Something in the morning that makes you rise and shine.
4. The age in which you have your first drink.
5. Something dogs like to chase.
Lynn says purse, cheese, alarm clock, 18 (#1), and cats (#1) for.....119. Steve says hairbrush for the first question....NOTHING. Another nothing for question two, as Steve drew a blank. Sunshine is next.....#1 at 23, so 58 to go. 16 is next.....23! Not bad, giving them 165. Last answer for the dog chasing is birds. 35 is needed....but it's another zero. They take $825.
For Game #2, it's the Sims defending against the Browns. The Sims score first with 68 on excuses men give for not attending church. They go up to 141 on places you wish had a cell phone restriction rule.
Double: People say you can't take some things with you. Name one of them you wish you could.
Starting with:
#1- Money (34, Sonny)
#2- Spouse (14, Caren)

The champs play. Steve says your car.....NO. Janet says a dog.....all pets are #3 (11)! Linbeth says teachers....NO. Sharon says your work......three strikes. The Browns try to steal with Delicia's answer of house.....NO, so the Sims are at 259. Other answers: jewelry and pictures (5 people said those answers apiece).
Triple: Something that starts with German. Starter (s):
#1- Chocolate cake (48, Chavonne)
#2- Shepherd (36, Steve)
#3-
#4-
The Browns play. Sylicia says a car....nope. Delicia says pie......also a bad one. Another strike is given afterwards, so the Sims try to end this game with Linbeth's answer of measles.....and they win at 511! #4 was potato salad (5).
Fast Money: Linbeth and Sonny play. Questions:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you worry about your appearance (Think 10 was #1?)
2. A swimming animal.
3. Something you've done for you country.
4. Something you've served at a Super Bowl party.
5. Something a man looks distinguished with.
Sonny says 8 (#1), otter, serve in the miltary, beer and moustache for....77. Linbeth says ten (not #1 this time), fish, vote (#1), pizza and grey hair for.....168, giving them a total of $1,525 so far.
WOF: On this Thanksgiving, we have Isabel Alezando, Susan Rucar, and Rob Greyhouse.
Alezando gets both of the opening toss-ups for $3,000. Susan gets the Wild Card, but loses it fairly quickly. But she does solve PLYMOUTH ROCK DRUMMER that round to win $2,800.
Greyhouse threatens the Jackpot when it's almost $10,000. He can't solve the puzzle then, but is able to solve CANDIED YAMS WITH MARSHMELLOWS, which sounds like a food we might eat on Thanksgiving for $8,550, including a $1,000 gift certificate from Hello Kitty, I do believe.
The $10,000 Mystery Round is also tonight's Prize Puzzle Round. Rucar calls a D, and with $5,400, opts to take $2,000 instead of the shot at $10,000. But she hit a Bankrupt on her next spin. Isabel steals with WOOD VENETIAN BLINDS for a trip to Italy, and combined with the $3,000 in Toss-Up money, she trails Greyhouse by $1,050.
Alezando takes over the lead with THROWING DARTS on the last Toss-Up to go to $10,500.
At the start of the next round, she lands on $5,000 and calls an S on an On the Map puzzle, and there are four for $20,000! She reveals all of MISSISSIPPI, but we have to know the city. She then calls an O, but only one pops up, and the first part reads _ _ P _ _ O. She hits a Lose a Turn, but we do get back to her when we get to Speed-Up mode. She calls an R then....not there. Rucar solves TUPELO MISSISSIPPI to foil Alezando's big money payoff with $4,200 total, but Alezando wins anyway with $10,500.
On this Thanksgiving, Alezando's Bonus Round category is Phrase. We start out with:
_ E T _
_ _ _ E R
She calls H, G, M and A and gets....
_ E T _
_ _ _ E R
...nothing, and we get nothing from her. Apparently she's not a "Big Brother" fan, because the answer was VETO POWER. The O's might have won her another $25,000.
Jeopardy!: Sarah Ramer and Carl Swanson tried to stop Jeff Spoeri from going for a 5-day title on Friday. Spoeri doesn't dominate as well as he did yesterday, but led $5,200 to Ramer's $3,200 and Swanson's $2,200.
When we get to Double Jeopardy!, it's almost just a battle between Speori and Ramer. Ramer finds the first Daily Double in "EX" Words. For $4,000 and the lead, as she trails $12,400 from Spoeri to her $8,800....
In the presidential oath of office, the word that fits the category.
I know this, but does she? "What is Exercise?" NO! What is Execute. She trails even further from Spoeri at $4,800. A few clues later, Swanson gets into the mix, and takes second place from Ramer. With "The American Revolution" left, Spoeri tries to randomly find the other Daily Double, and fails to find it the first two times. He finds it on the third try, and bets $3,000....
In January 1778 George Washington found out about plans for invading this land and called the plot "The Child of Folly".
Spoeri says "What is Canada?". He's right, but doesn't wager enough to close it out. Scores heading into the final: Spoeri with $17,800, Swanson has $9,400, and Ramer has $5,200.
Category: 1970s TV:
Bruce Peterson, a NASA test pilot, helped inspre this series: The crash he survived was seen in the show's opening credits.
Ramer says "What is Wings?"...Not it. But she didn't wager a dime. Swanson says "What is Intrepid?"....also not right. He drops all the way to $200. Spoeri is all but in the clear, as he says, "What is The Six Million Dollar Man".....he's RIGHT, so he definitely wins with a total of $18,801, and has a four-day total of $77,302. Will we finally have a five-day champion? Tune in tomorrow, if you can....

Kapitan's guess: Britney Spears. His girl selection: Lindsay.......for $80,000......

Showcase #1 featured things the models might have if their Pilgrim ship had landed in California rather than Plymouth Rock. First, since their suits are inapppropriate, they exchanged them for bathing suits! Then, their Indian corn was broing, so they exchanged it for California corn rolls in a new refrigerator with a TV! Finally, their ship looked too ridiculous, so they turned it in for..... A Reinell Ski Boat! Even though it would be a perfect fit for Allen, he passes to Deborah, who bids $18,000. Allen also bids that on a dining room, a coffee machine, and a trip to Plymouth Rock, Massachussetts.
Deborah's ARP: $32,404, a difference of $14,404. Allen's ARP: $20,352, winning him a total of $25,399.

WOF: On Thanksgiving Eve, Laura Landruff, Jada Dunwity-Brent, and David Warchowski played. Dunwity-Brent picked up the Wild Card early on in Round 1, but Landruff got both toss-ups. Landruff solved the Food and Drink puzzle of BEEFSTEAK TOMATOES (tricky, huh?) to go to $5,000.
Warchowski solves the Prize Puzzle WARMING YOUR FEET BY THE FIRE for a trip to Lake Tahoe and cash for a total of $7,776. Dunwity-Brent earlier in that round almost lost the Wild Card to a Bankrupt.
Warchowski lands on a Mystery Wedge early and gets two S's, but when he flipped it over, the Bankrupt came up. More bad news, this time for Dunwity-Brent- she loses the Wild Card to a Bankrupt. Once again, Pat forgets to take the Wild Card away from someone immediately when that happens (I know about it more than Pat- HA!). The entire puzzle is filled, and Warchowski scores again with SHAPELY DOLL DATED KEN AND LIVED IN A DREAM HOUSE in the Who is it? category. For the $3,000, he correctly says Barbie. Total now: $18,176.
The $6,000 Speed-Up Round follows with a Phrase! When it gets down to all vowels, it's Warchowski again with ABOUT THE AUTHOR for another $6,000 and the match with $24,176.
Landruff gets $8,000, and Dunwity-Brent has the $1,000 guarantee.
I'd love to see a really big win before Thanksgiving. Can David Warchowki provide it? Let's find out. Category is Phrase. The big six get him:
_ N _
_ _ _ _
Warchowski chooses M, H, A and D and gets...
_ N A
H _ _ _
I thought it was ON A HOOK. He says ON A HIKE......turns out, we were both way off. IN A HUFF. Without the F's, he won't be the second straight winner of a Saturn Sky.
Jeopardy!: Back to normal with Brad Waller, Maureen McCuen, and our champion Jeff Spoeri.
Spoeri zooms to $7,400 before the break. He coasts to the Daily Double with $8,800 in the category of "B" in fashion:
In the 1970s, it was named Arizona's official state neckware.
Spoeri says boa tie....he's right for another $2,000 and has $10,800! He drops some money due to some wrong responses, but at the end, he has $9,800 to Brad's $800 and Maureen's -$800.
After just a few clues, Spoeri finds the first Daily Double in DJ! in Bodies of Water. He bets $3,000 on:
The largest lake in this South American country is a reservoir, W.J. Van Blommestein Lake.
Spoeri says "What is Brazil?"....NO. What is Suraname?
When things are done in this round, Spoeri has $18,000 to Waller's $3,200. Maureen McCuen wipes out at -$400, and leaves with $1,000.
FJ! for fun is Historic Objects:
Standart, Azov and Clock are among the names of these items, given as royal Easter gifts starting in the mid-1880s.
Correct: What are faberge eggs?
Waller has that, and doubles to $6,400. Spoeri also has it, wins a total of $23,000, and a three-day total of $58,501.
For the dinnerware, the price is $ _ 3 8, and the choices are 1 and 5. Gossik says 5, and of course, she's right. For the game, we have $ 4, _ 9 5, and the choices of 3, 5 and 8. Gossik says 3......but it's the 8! Darn.
But making it to the Showcase is a military guy named Allen, who cleared Clock Game. He faced Deborah, who couldn't quite win a Chevy Monte Carlo in Pocket Change.

Double: An animal people look like when they run. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3-
#4- Horse/pony (7, Meghan)

The Delagdos play. Arlene says adult toys (?!?!)....NO WAY. Jeanette cooks up pinups....no. Angelique says lingerie, which is much better than the last.....but it's a strikeout. For the steal, Bob of the champs says alcohol...and another 108 is theirs, as that's number one! Other answers were women and candles.
For Sudden Death, it's Arlene and Carissa. Question: A sport more popular abroad than here.
Carissa says soccer.....CHAMPS WIN AT 478!

Kristi says underwear, $25, eat (#1), abs (#1), and George Washington for....135! Bob says bra (#1 with skirt), $20, change channels, arms, and Lincoln (#1) and gets them to.....236 for the money! That's $20,570 for them!
For Game #2, we have the Sazamas (who are wielding kendosticks in the air in the opening!) versus the Sims. The Sims get the first 60 points on things that men do to make them look as vain as women. The Sazamas fire back with 86 thanks to slang terms that people use to call their friends for certain stories.

WOF: On Thanksgiving Eve, Laura Landruff, Jada Dunwity-Brent, and David Warchowski played. Dunwity-Brent picked up the Wild Card early on in Round 1, but Landruff got both toss-ups. Landruff solved the Food and Drink puzzle of BEEFSTEAK TOMATOES (tricky, huh?) to go to $5,000.
Warchowski solves the Prize Puzzle WARMING YOUR FEET BY THE FIRE for a trip to Lake Tahoe and cash for a total of $7,776. Dunwity-Brent earlier in that round almost lost the Wild Card to a Bankrupt.
Warchowski lands on a Mystery Wedge early and gets two S's, but when he flipped it over, the Bankrupt came up. More bad news, this time for Dunwity-Brent- she loses the Wild Card to a Bankrupt. Once again, Pat forgets to take the Wild Card away from someone immediately when that happens (I know about it more than Pat- HA!). The entire puzzle is filled, and Warchowski scores again with SHAPELY DOLL DATED KEN AND LIVED IN A DREAM HOUSE in the Who is it? category. For the $3,000, he correctly says Barbie. Total now: $18,176.
The $6,000 Speed-Up Round follows with a Phrase! When it gets down to all vowels, it's Warchowski again with ABOUT THE AUTHOR for another $6,000 and the match with $24,176.
Landruff gets $8,000, and Dunwity-Brent has the $1,000 guarantee.
I'd love to see a really big win before Thanksgiving. Can David Warchowki provide it? Let's find out. Category is Phrase. The big six get him:
_ N _
_ _ _ _
Warchowski chooses M, H, A and D and gets...
_ N A
H _ _ _
I thought it was ON A HOOK. He says ON A HIKE......turns out, we were both way off. IN A HUFF. Without the F's, he won't be the second straight winner of a Saturn Sky.
Jeopardy!: Back to normal with Brad Waller, Maureen McCuen, and our champion Jeff Spoeri.
Spoeri zooms to $7,400 before the break. He coasts to the Daily Double with $8,800 in the category of "B" in fashion:
In the 1970s, it was named Arizona's official state neckware.
Spoeri says boa tie....he's right for another $2,000 and has $10,800! He drops some money due to some wrong responses, but at the end, he has $9,800 to Brad's $800 and Maureen's -$800.
After just a few clues, Spoeri finds the first Daily Double in DJ! in Bodies of Water. He bets $3,000 on:
The largest lake in this South American country is a reservoir, W.J. Van Blommestein Lake.
Spoeri says "What is Brazil?"....NO. What is Suraname?
When things are done in this round, Spoeri has $18,000 to Waller's $3,200. Maureen McCuen wipes out at -$400, and leaves with $1,000.
FJ! for fun is Historic Objects:
Standart, Azov and Clock are among the names of these items, given as royal Easter gifts starting in the mid-1880s.
Correct: What are faberge eggs?
Waller has that, and doubles to $6,400. Spoeri also has it, wins a total of $23,000, and a three-day total of $58,501.

11/21/06 Results- Another Undefeated Feud Champ?
WOF: The legend of the Wild Card continued to grow last night, as it was used for the first time in the maingame. For tonight's players, we have Nana Forson, Tim Regan, and Wendy Thompson. Forson is a big WOF fan, as she watches two episodes a night. She gets off to a fast start, solving the first three puzzles for cash and a trip to Iceland. Total at this point: $12,600.
Forson even got the Wild Card at this point.
Thompson gets the next two puzzles, although she could have had the lead after the Mystery Round if she had flipped that Mystery Wedge she landed on, because that was the $10,000.
Her total now: $11,200 in cash and stuff.
She does take the lead anyway, thanks to getting THE SOUTH POLE as the $3,000 tossup, and solving HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (which could have been solved by you at home even with no letters!) for a total of $18,400. In Round 5, Forson spins $5,000, and gets three Ss! With the Wild Card in hand, after some thinking, she uses it and calls another letter....NOT THERE. Tim Regan gets on the board with $3,200 in this last round, which was CROSSWORD CLUES. Thompson wins with $18,400.
For tonight's endgame, the category is On the Map. The big six get her....
_ S _ _ _ S _
She calls C, H, M and A and gets....
_ S H _ _ S H
I think it's OSHKOSH. Does she? YES! She wins a Saturn Sky worth $26,155, and wins $44,555! Odd total!
Jeopardy!: End of the line for our celebirites in NYC. Wrapping it up with us: Hill Harper, George W. Bush's Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, and Michael McKean.
McKean gets on a roll early, while Spellings is in the hole (HA!). This roll continues through the end of the round, knowing about Achielles in the Daily Double (and the last clue of the round) to get to $13,600, while Marg has $2,000, and Hill has $800.
McKean again pulls a Ken Jennings through the Double Jeopardy! Round, leading $30,400 to Marg's $9,600 and Hill's $6,800.
It's possible McKean can win more than $50,000. Let's find out if he can with this FJ! in From Book To Film.
Among the many movies premiered here at Radio City Music Hall was this 1964 film based on a novel by Harper Lee. Playing the FJ! theme is the organ player at Radio City Music Hall! Cool!
Correct response, VTW: What is "To Kill a Mockingbird"? Harper is right, but didn't bet a dime.
Spellings is right as well, and bets $1,500 for $11,100. McKean is.....RIGHT, but doesn't bet enough to exceed $50,000. Great show to end the run! We return home tomorrow.
TPIR: Today, we saw Nellie Haskins play Lucky Seven for a Dodge Magnum SE (Std., Airbags, Heater). First digit of course is 2. For the second digit, Haskins says 2....it's 3, so $1's out. She then guesses 5 for digit 3......it's 7, so it's a $2 loss. For the fourth digit, Haskins says 4.....it's 8, costing her the last $4. The price was $23,785. Too bad.
Next, Christins Helbling played Pushover for a trip to Austria. The numbers...
724961135
Upon support from some of her friends, thinking they've seen that exact trip to Austria before, Helbling says $4,961. It's.......$6,113, so they know nothing about trips.
In the first Showcase Showdown, Haskins gets the $1,000 bonus. She doesn't win anything in the bonus spin, but does get to go to the Showcase.
We haven't had a Pricing Game winner yet, so let's try again with Seargant Royce Kelly from the Marines. He played Balance Game for a Beachcomber Hot Tub. The last three digits are 495. The three bags available: $3,000, $4,000, and $5,000. Kelly puts $3,000 and $4,000, thus guessing the spa is $7,495.....too little! The ARP is $9,495 (never would have thought of that, either).
Trying again, we have Gregory Dutchett, who wears a Rod Roddy T-Shirt (!!) and plays Stack the Deck for a Pontiac G6 (Std., Pedals, Heater, Prots). The numbers available:
0123457
For the first pair of items, we have Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and Tums, and the target price is $2.99. Dutchett says the dressing....right! He chooses the last digit, which is 7
( $ _ _ , _ _ 7). For the second pair, we have Fiji Water and Bird's Eye Frozen Vegetables, and the target price is $1.59. Dutchett says the water, and of course he's right. He chooses the fourth digit, which is 5 ( $ _ _ , _ 5 7). For the last pair, we have bird seed and a bag of Jelly Belly jellybeans, and the target is $3.99. Dutchett says the bird seed.....right again! He says the third digit, and it's 1 ( $ _ _ , 1 5 7). The first number of course is 2, and Dutchett says that. For that second digit, with no hesitation, he says.....
....the 0, with a guess of $20,157, and he wins! Impressive! He's the only Pricing Game winner of the day, and gets to the Showcase by winning $1,000 as well!
It's Dutchett, the Rod shirt-wearing guy, versus Haskins. The first Showcase has a living room, a security system, and a Dutchman Mini Travel Trailer. Dutchett passes to Haskins, who bids $15,555. Dutchett tries for a range, a home gym, and a Ford Mustang Deluxe Convertible (Std.,
AT, ALB). He bids $27,521, and I think he's won.
Haskins's ARP: $23,586, a difference of $8,031. Dutchett's ARP: $27...........974, winning with a difference of only $453, and becoming the first winner of at least $50,000 since early October on the show! His total: $51,666!
Family Feud: Only covering the second show today, as we will try to have back-to-back undefeated families. Trying to make it happen are the Mackeys, defending against the Reeses (Peanut Butter Cups not included). The Reeses get the first 88 points on things a crook doesn't want to see when he/she breaks into a house. They go up to 141 on the worst things you could nod off on.
Double: The breeds of dogs that eat the most. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- Pitbull (17, Trish)
#4- Rottweiler (14, Ronnie)
#5-
The Reeses play. Irene says German Shepard, which is what my dog, Bandut, is part of (also a beagle)....it's #2 (17)! Robby says the master....no. Robert says Saint Bernard....NUMBER ONE (22)! Elaine misses on her turn. Back to Trish, who says Chiuahaha for Taco Bell fans.....strikeout. The Mackeys try to score with a Great Dane.....IT'S THERE, so they're one point behind at 140!
Triple: Something that might be a foot long. Starting with:
#1- Hot dog/sandwich (60, Stephanie)
#2-
#3-
#4-
Champs play. Gus says Daschund (?!?!).....NO WAY. Tara says a ruler.....#2 (18)! Michael says feet....#3 (12) and one to go! Ronnie says salt water taffy, or all candy.....NO. Back to Steph, who says Mardi Gras beads to salute her hometown. Nice plug, but that's definitely not there. So the Reeses will try to foil their championship run by saying fabrics.......
....NO!!!! The Mackeys are our second-straight five-time champs! The last answer: rope.
Fast Money: Tara and Michael try one last time. Questions:
1. Something people do to make veggies taste better.
2. A sport where people wear spiked shoes.
3. Something with claws.
4. A liquid people put in their car.
5. Something that buzzes.
Michael says butter (#1), baseball (#1), Christmas (DOH!!!), oil and doorbell for.... 105! Tara says salt, football, dog, gas (#1) and an alarm clock. We head into the final answer with just 2 points to go. Two people have to say an answer for it to be recorded into the survey. If the alarm clock made the survey, they will, I do believe, be the seventh or eighth $40,000+ winners this season, which is amazing. SURVEY SAID.....
....22! They have $42,390, and are the third-biggest winners of the season so far! See you next time!
WWTBAM: It's College Week, folks, and some of you may not like this week, but we shall press on.
Breann Vular joins us, having gotten to the $25,000 mark on the last show. She only has the Switch? to her credit. For the $50,000....

Zach Harrison, who brought two cheerleaders from the University of Wisconsin, is back Wednesday after using the audience to get the $2,000 question right.
Forson even got the Wild Card at this point.

11/20/06 Results- Feud Record on the line
TPIR: On this day, after a week's abscence, Plinko returned as the first Pricing Game today. Playing it is Deidre Walker, who was the first ccontestant to be called to "Come on Down!". She got only two of the small items, but I've seen quite a few people win a lot with just three chips. First chip lands in..... the left zero. Second.......a little better, $1,000. Last chip........the other zero, so she stays at $1,000. Walker does get a shot at the Showcase, but who will face Walker? Let's find out.
The fourth Pricing Game was played by Kevin Leyfield, who is in another marriage situation like another contestant on last Friday's show. The game was Most Expensive, for a guitar, a sofa, and a popcorn cart (I bet you know which one is most expensive). Leyfield chooses the popcorn cart. The guitar is....$1,160. The sofa is.... $1,605. The popcorn cart is.......$2,940! Their marriage is saved, at least for now.
Next was Michelle Caputo, who played Pass The Buck for, of all cars offered on this game, a Dodge Caravan, worth $19,470. Caputo easily gets by both pairs of products with little trouble.
Caputo picks #5......IT'S THE VAN!! Needless to say, she calls a halt to this.
Last was Carolyn Geise, who played Squeeze Play for a Wurlitzer Jukebox. Numbers:
89695
If you know how much it costs, great. If not, you're in trouble. Geise says.........$8,995, which, of course, is right!
For the second Showcase Showdown, Leyfield spins 90 cents first, and he stops. Geise spins 75 cents first, and gets.....90 cents second, so her day is done. Our van winner Caputo gets 35 cents first. Caputo needs 55, 60 or 65 cents to still be around. Caputo spins.......just a dime, so Leyfield gets into the Showcase, and for the second day in a row, a marriage situation arises in the Showcase.
The first Showcase offers three trips- one to Monte Carlo, one to Rome, and one to Japan. Leyfield bids on this, and bids $22,575. For Walker, it's a bedroom set, an HDTV, and a QCA spa. Walker bids $15,000.
Walker's ARP: $16,964, a difference of $1,964. Leyfield's ARP: $2.........1,240, meaning he's over, and Walker wins her Showcase and a total of $19,007. Leyfield leaves with $6,790, and likely with her lady still in tow.
The day's big winner, however: Our big Pass the Buck winner, Michelle Caputo, with $20,368.
Family Feud: Well, folks, I've been hyping this game for days now, and now the time has come. The Shumates are looking to get a chance to set a new five-day record for this version of the show. But to get any shot at that, they have to beat the Dotsons.
First question: Something that men change. Starting with:
#1- Clothing (29, Andre, just under the buzzer!)
#2- Attitude (25, Kai)
#3-
#4-
#5-
The champs play. Sophia says cologne....no. Dorlisa says deodorant....also a dud. Lisa says a girlfriend....all girls are #3 (19)! Frank says cars, and that's #4 (9)! Andre, for the sweep, guesses
their time of day (?!?!), and of course it's not there. For the steal, Kai of the Dotsons says careers....NO! The Shumates are on the board first. Last answer was the TV channel (6).
Second question: One of the Ten Commandments that is usually broken on a TV soap opera. Starting with:
#1- Adultery (56, Theartrice)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
Challengers play. Jeremy says stealing....#4 (6). Maleta says don't covet......#3 (14). Shannon says murder....#5 (6). Kai says don't lust....no. Theartrice says fall to thy mother....not there. Jeremy says no lying.....#2 (16). Maleta says love thy neighbor.....NO. Andre tries to steal with be fruitful.....NO, so the Dotsons strike back with 98, and are leading to the Shumates 82.
Double: Ways people can realize they've gained a few pounds. Starting with:
#1- Clothes don't fit (77, Dorlisa)
#2- Look in mirror (9, Jeremy)
#3-
#4-
#5-
Shumates play. Lisa says a big stomach....NO. Frank says they were told by somebody.....#4 (4).
Andre says the scale, and of course it's there at #3 (8). Sophia says the double chin for a perfect 200 Double round....no. Dorlisa says people laugh at you.....no sweep. So Kai tries to steal for the Dotsons with putting on rings (?!?!)....NO WAY, so the Shumates are that much closer with another 196, for 278. The other two people for the survey said: you can't bend over.
Triple: Something your teeth do. Starting with:
#1- Chew (68, Lisa)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The Shuamtes will try to close this out. Frank says bite.....#2 (21)! Andre says cut....nope. Sophia says they come on out.....NO! Dorlisa says grind....#3 (6)! One to go! Lisa says get cavities....NO!
So the Dotsons have a slight chance to spoil the record bid. With chip and chatter as possible answers from the family, Kai says chip.........
....NO!!!! The Shumates get a shot at the record! The other answer of chatter was up there.
Fast Money: The moment of truth is upon us. When this version of the show reinstated the five-day rule in 2002 (then with Richard Karn as host), the first undefeated champions, the Coles, set the current five-day mark at $61,755. If Frank and Lisa of the Shumates are successful here at winning the $20,000 today, the Shumates will set a new five-day record for this version of the show. Will they do it? Let's find out with these questions:
1. Something a gardener would hate to forget to bring with him.
2. How many hours a day do you watch TV?
3. Something in a college lecture hall.
4. Name a job title somebody might have in a huge company.
5. Something people forget to turn off.
(Play the TPIR MDS Suspense Music for the Million Dollar Spin in your heads now, folks.)
Lisa goes first, and says the lawn mower (#1), six hours, podium (#1), CEO (#1), and the lights (#1) for.....137! 63 away from everything. Frank goes first with clippers.....3. He says four hours of TV next....16! Number one answer was two hours, half of his answer. Franks says for the lecture hall, the books....14, so they're 30 away. For a big company, Frank says CFO. 30 for it all......
...NOTHING. It all comes down to this. For something you forget to turn off, Frank says TV.....
...again, if at least 30 said it, they are the new all-time five day winners.
They are guaranteed to be the biggest winners of the season so far. But they want it all, and I sure do too.
SURVEY SAID...........
....16! DARN!! Oh well, they still do have a final total of $42,810, which I do believe is the fourth-highest total in this version's history! Way to go, guys!
It's going to be tough to follow all of that drama, but we have to press on with the Mackeys defending against the Butoracs. The Butoracs score first on things you don't want a waitress or waiter to do while the food is cooking. The Butoracs up their score to 173 thanks to a full eight-answer board on things that are impossible to steal from a hotel room.
Double: Name a celebrity whose antics make you more interested than what's going on in the world. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- Tom Cruise (13, Sean)
#4-
#5-
Butoracs play. Brian says Brad Pitt (?!?!)....NO WAY. Christine says Paris Hilton....#2 (14)! Annie says Jessica Simpson....NO! Chris says Britney Spears....NO! Darn. The champs try to steal with Tara with the answer Angelina Jolie....it's there for 54. Other celebrities: Mel Gibson (#1), Michael Jackson.
Triple: Which country's friendship is important to us? Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- France (11, Stephanie)
#4-
Mackeys play. Gus says China...#2 (15)! Tara says Russia....no. Michael says Germany......also bad. Ronnie says Great Britain....NUMBER ONE (56)! Stephanie says Ireland (?!?!)....NO WAY!!
So the Butoracs try to take the championship with Annie's answer of Japan.....NO! The Mackeys are going to try to be the second undefeated family of the week with an even 300! Other country: Canada (I thought it was Israel or Iraq).
Fast Money: Stephanie and Tara try it.
1. Name a food you'd expect to see at every roadside dinner in America.
2. Name an animal tattoo that people put on their body.
3. An average hip measure for a woman.
4. Something that is sold door to door.
5. Another term for a friend.
Steph says hamburger (#1), butterfly (bad) , 38", encylopedias (?!?!- but scores six!), and buddy for.....88. Tara says dougnuts (?!?!), panther, 34", vaccum cleaners, and
pal for....a total fo 146, giving them a total of $22,390.
The fourth Pricing Game was played by Kevin Leyfield, who is in another marriage situation like another contestant on last Friday's show. The game was Most Expensive, for a guitar, a sofa, and a popcorn cart (I bet you know which one is most expensive). Leyfield chooses the popcorn cart. The guitar is....$1,160. The sofa is.... $1,605. The popcorn cart is.......$2,940! Their marriage is saved, at least for now.
Next was Michelle Caputo, who played Pass The Buck for, of all cars offered on this game, a Dodge Caravan, worth $19,470. Caputo easily gets by both pairs of products with little trouble.
Caputo picks #5......IT'S THE VAN!! Needless to say, she calls a halt to this.
Last was Carolyn Geise, who played Squeeze Play for a Wurlitzer Jukebox. Numbers:
89695
If you know how much it costs, great. If not, you're in trouble. Geise says.........$8,995, which, of course, is right!
For the second Showcase Showdown, Leyfield spins 90 cents first, and he stops. Geise spins 75 cents first, and gets.....90 cents second, so her day is done. Our van winner Caputo gets 35 cents first. Caputo needs 55, 60 or 65 cents to still be around. Caputo spins.......just a dime, so Leyfield gets into the Showcase, and for the second day in a row, a marriage situation arises in the Showcase.
The first Showcase offers three trips- one to Monte Carlo, one to Rome, and one to Japan. Leyfield bids on this, and bids $22,575. For Walker, it's a bedroom set, an HDTV, and a QCA spa. Walker bids $15,000.
Walker's ARP: $16,964, a difference of $1,964. Leyfield's ARP: $2.........1,240, meaning he's over, and Walker wins her Showcase and a total of $19,007. Leyfield leaves with $6,790, and likely with her lady still in tow.
The day's big winner, however: Our big Pass the Buck winner, Michelle Caputo, with $20,368.

RECAP: Amazing Race X- Stage 9, Part 2
When we last left you, Tyler and James were still leading when they got the notice that they had to keep going. For the first clue of Part 2:
Clue #1: Teams must travel on an airplane 1,900 miles away to Kieu, Ukraine. Their next clue will be attached to their rental car when they arrive.
Tyler and James get to the airport, but they are told by the ticket people at the airport that the soonest flight to Kieu at that point was 8:45 AM tomorrow morning. They are not happy about this. Little did they and other teams would know that a half-hour delay would occur the next day.
Clue #2: Teams must travel by car, 58 miles, to Oster Tank School.
Dustin and Kandace take over the lead here heading into....
Roadblock: One person on each team must navigate a tank through an obstacle course using traditional military techniques.
Both Tyler and James and Dustin and Kandace get through this no problem.
Clue #3: Go back where they came from and look for an apartment marked #33. They must knock on the door, and a person will come by to give them their next clue.
While on their way to the tank school, Rob and Kimberly's car breaks down.
Erwin and Godwin and Lyn and Karilyn, meanwhile, both get lost.
Detour: Choices are Make or Find the Music.
Make the Music: Teams must go three miles to a hip-hop place. They must write a hip-hop song that features places that the teams have visited previously in the race. When they perform well enough, they will be given their next clue.
Find the Music: Teams must go to the National Music Academy of Ukraine, 2 miles away. Once there, they must search through tons of sheets of music to find a music piece called "Concert Fantasy". Once found, teams must find a room that has a pianist ready to play some sheet music. Once they locate such a player, and the music is played, the team will get their next clue.
Dustin and Kandace do Make the Music, while Tyler and James do Find the Music. Both do their tasks with little trouble, and at this point, Tyler and James are slightly in the lead.
Pit Stop: The Great Patriotic War Museum- where one team WILL be eliminated.
At this point, Erwin and Godwin are still pretty lost, and are only making slight progress. Lyn and Karilyn both make sizeable progress.
Arriving first........ Tyler and James for the first time since the opening leg! They win a trip to Puerto Villarta. Of course, Dustin and Kandace go to second.
Despite early trouble, Rob and Kimberly successfully do the Make the Music task, and are Team #3!
Team #4 is........
.....Lyn and Karilyn. That means Erwin and Godwin, thanks to getting lost a lot, are eliminated from the race. They leave with a home entertainment center and some money.

RECAP: Deal or No Deal- Double Jackpot Night
It's Double Jackpot Night on Deal or No Deal!
First contestant: Casey Penston, who rides in here on roller skates. I thought that's J.D. Roth's cue on Fun House. Anyway, she brings up her sister Courtney....and Howie tells them that they can play the game together! We're getting double everything tonight! Also: the ENTIRE BOARD is doubled! They'll split whatever they win. For their case, they choose #5. They will take turns selecting cases for each round.
Courney eliminates $200,000, $400, $600, $150,000, $800,000, and $50. First offer is $41,000. They, of course, say No Deal to that.
In Round 2, it's Casey's turn. Eliminated: $100, $100,000, $10, $200, and $800. Very good round. The offer is now....$102,000! No Deal.
Round 3 is Courtney's go. She picks #24.....$1,500 is gone. #3 is next....$600,000 is out. #16 is next....$1,000,000 is out of here. #14 is last.... $10,000. OK round. The offer is now....after we hear from their grandmother....$139,000! They say No Deal.
Casey for Round 4. She picks #17....TWO CENTS! Casey says #25 next.....$2! Last choice is the end of the board, #26.....TWO MILLION. After a great start, they fall flat. The offer is down to $97,000. Not surprisingly, they say No Deal.
Courtney, for Round 5, starts with #13.....$150! For the other pick, #4. It's.......$2,000! Great round. The offer is now at: $216,000! They say....DEAL! I was surprised they stopped- I thought they would last the whole show.
They missed out on $400,000, but they would have knocked out the $1,500,000 on their next pick.
Next player, as we return to our regular format: Zani Hensler. She is 20 years old. She picks MJ's number, #23, for her potential case.
First Round: Beginning of the board, #1....$50. #2.....$1,000. She skips to #7.....$200. #8 eliminates....$500. Next choice is #14....$300. Last pick from Hensler: #15.....
$75,000. Good round. Before the first offer, a big box comes down. As Howie opens it, it has 658,500 cans- which is the equivalent of $20,000. In any event, she says No Deal.
Second Round: She knocks out the million right out of the gate with #4. She goes back to #3....$750. Hensler knocks out #8....$400. Next is #9.....$5,000. Last pick is #17....$300,000.
Offer is now....$43,000. She says No Deal, and will be back on Monday.

Casey for Round 4. She picks #17....TWO CENTS! Casey says #25 next.....$2! Last choice is the end of the board, #26.....TWO MILLION. After a great start, they fall flat. The offer is down to $97,000. Not surprisingly, they say No Deal.
Courtney, for Round 5, starts with #13.....$150! For the other pick, #4. It's.......$2,000! Great round. The offer is now at: $216,000! They say....DEAL! I was surprised they stopped- I thought they would last the whole show.
They missed out on $400,000, but they would have knocked out the $1,500,000 on their next pick.
Next player, as we return to our regular format: Zani Hensler. She is 20 years old. She picks MJ's number, #23, for her potential case.
First Round: Beginning of the board, #1....$50. #2.....$1,000. She skips to #7.....$200. #8 eliminates....$500. Next choice is #14....$300. Last pick from Hensler: #15.....
$75,000. Good round. Before the first offer, a big box comes down. As Howie opens it, it has 658,500 cans- which is the equivalent of $20,000. In any event, she says No Deal.
Second Round: She knocks out the million right out of the gate with #4. She goes back to #3....$750. Hensler knocks out #8....$400. Next is #9.....$5,000. Last pick is #17....$300,000.
Offer is now....$43,000. She says No Deal, and will be back on Monday.

TPIR: On this day, we had Craig Parker play It's In the Bag for $16,000. The products today are Pringles potato chips, a beard trimmer, PC cleaner, Santa Fe salsa, Bruce's Yams, and Mylanta. For the 79 cent bag, Parker says the chips. For $9.99, Parker goes with the cleaner, but the audience makes him change his mind to the trimmer. For the $1.29 bag, Parker says the yams. For the $6.99 bag, Parker goes with the Mylanta, and for the $3.99 bag, Parker goes with the salsa. The chips for 79 cents are....right! Parker goes on with that trimmer I'm worried about....but it's right for $2,000! Parker goes on, and is right again with the yams for $4,000! Parker continues with the Mylanta, and the $6.99 bag has....the Mylanta! He originally thinks about going on, but his wife begs him to stop.....but he goes back on to continuing! For $16,000, the $3.99 bag has......the cleaner. Darn! Parker's marriage may be in a pickle now.
Lara Camelias was next up after that, playing Lucky Seven for a Chevy Equinox LS 4X2 (Std., Airbags, Prots). The first number is 2. For the second number, Camelias says 2.....it's 3, so she
loses a buck. For the third, Camelias guesses 5.....right! For the fourth digit, Camelias guesses 6....it's 7, so she only loses another dollar! With $5 to go heading into the last number, if she says 5 last, she will win. She.....does, and wins! The last number is 3, giving her the car and $2 in pocket change! (That $23,573 Equinox is trying to be that $17,372 Mercury Cougar used often in Lucky Seven a few years ago, eh?)
Parker makes it into the Showcase, where he'll face Mitchell Fink. Fink played Card Game for a Chevy Malibu LS (Std., Sealant). For the bidding card, he draws.....$5,000! That all but ensures a win now, and Fink on his shirt says that he needs a new card badly. He draws two face cards to up his bankroll from $12,000 to $14,000. Fink draws an eight next, then a nine for $15,700. Fink goes on, on the advice of his girlfriend, and draws another nine for $16,600, and Fink stops.
The price is.....$17,302, meaning he wins with a difference of $702!
In the first Showcase, we find odd fashions at the House of Bad Fashion. First, we see a dress made of the green felt we might find on a blackjack table....in Las Vegas! Then, we see pyramids with TPIR markings on them, which means you could go to Egypt! Then, we see some sails on the last dress, which means you could win a West Potter Sailboat! Fink bids $35,000 on this. For the married Parker, we have a dining room set and a pair of motorcycles. Parker bids $19,240.
ARP for Fink: $31,780, so no more for him. Parker's ARP: $17,081, meaning he and his wife will only leave with parting gifts from here, and their marriage may be jeopardy. As for the day's top winner- it's Camelias, who takes home $25,319.
Family Feud: For Game #1, it's the $21,880 winning Shumates defending against the Salgados.
The Shumates score 50 first on things you don't want to see your father wear. They score another 66 on places you don't want the power to go out.

Challengers play. Erik says singing (which should've been #1), and of course it's at #2 (26). Nick says kneel down....no. Millie says dressing up....no to that also. Anthony says confessions....strikeout. Shumates try to steal with a sermon....NO! The Salgados are on the board with 138. Other stuff: socializing/coffee, finding serenity, leaving.

2. A reason one might take off their toupee.
3. A thing people do to their fingernails.
4. An instrument in a country band.
5. A chili ingredient.
Lisa says six hours(#1), showering(#1), biting, harmonica(bad), and beans (#1) for.... 152! Frank tries for five hours....14! 33 away. Frank says show off (?!?!?) for question two, and obviously it's a dud. Frank says clip your nails next....16! 17 away(polishing them was #1). He says for the instrument a banjo....WIN! That's $41,880 for them! A $20,000 win the next time will set a new five-day record for this version of the show.
For Game #2, it's the Mackeys defending against the Delgadillos. The Delagdillos score the first 68 points on places where there's a whole lot of shaking going on. The Mackeys get double sevens thanks to words or phrases that mean you've lost your job.

WWTBAM: To wrap up "Pop Culture Week", we have Aris Pinedo, who watches way too much TV, so he should fit right at home here. He got to $25,000 the last show, and has the 50:50 in addition to the Switch? lifeline. He passes on the first question. For $50,000 here:
What was the name of Arsenio Hall's "big-boned" alter ego who released a rap album in 1991 titled "Large and in Charge"?
A: Ballpark Frankie
B: Chunky A
C: Hefty the Bagman
D: Beefy T
He doesn't use the 50:50, and says Chunky A.... good he didn't use it- it's $50,000! For $100,000...
The Buggles performed the first music video on MTV; who did the second?
A: Pat Benetar
B: The Human League
C: Fleetwood Mac
D: Steve Miller Band
Immediately, this TV producer uses the 50:50, leaving A and C. He works at MTV, BTW, so he'll be ashamed if he misses it. He says C to save his dignity.... it was "You Better Run".....but NOT by Fleetwood Mac. Darn. But he does leave with $25,000.
Our last contestant of the week is Jolene Hamel. She goes for the bigger money with only the audience lifeline used up. For $50,000:
In 2006, what did the American Film Institute name as the most inspiring movie of all time?
A: "E.T."
B: "It's a Wonderful Life"
C: "To Kill a Mockingbird"
D: "Rocky"
Hamel calls Shane, her son-in-law, for help, but he gives nothing. She switches it out. The answer was B. This is the last played question of the week- will she get the $50,000? Let's find out.
Though producers of the movie say it is a concidence, "Napoleon Dynomite" was an alias used on a 1986 album by what singer?
A: Elvis Costello
B: David Byrne
C: Frank Zappa
D: Neil Young
Hamel's use of the 50:50 leaves A and D. Hamel goes for A, the other Elvis.....$50,000 is hers! Of course, she stops there.
Next week: College Week.
WOF: We wrap up our stay in Texas with Ann Moon and Rita Gartrela, Donna Breloe and Karla Thomas, and Rob Smith and Michelle Thomas. Smith and Thomas score the rare Jackpot win in the Jackpot Round after solving GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS. and also winning a trip to Las Vegas. That brought them up to $17,400 after starting from scratch. They also solve COME FLY WITH ME as the Prize Puzzle in the Mystery Round, in addition to winning another $300 and a $1,000 movie ticket gift certificate, bringing them up to $26,500. They win with that total.
We haven't landed on the $100,000 in Texas now. This is our last chance, and the $100,000's been won at least once in the last three road trips. Will Smith and Thomas somehow extend that streak to four? Let's find out. They land on the dollar sign. Category is Thing. The big six get them...
_ R _ E _
_ _ E R _ _ E _
They call C, P, M and A and get...
_ R _ E _
_ _ E R _ _ E _
...nothing. And nothing from them, either. I thought it was brief something...and it was. BRIEF OVERVIEW. This time it wasn't the $30,000- it was the twin Tahoes. We return home next week.
Jeopardy!: We wrap up our last full week in NY with Mario Cantone, Joely Fisher, and Martin Short (I love him when he appears on Letterman). Hilarious category in Round 1: "Broad Weigh". They get off to a tough start, as the leader, Cantone, only has $200. I smell a little Bob Harris in Cantone, based on his reactions. This was a rough round, as about 15 clues are unshown, and leader Cantone, after Fisher's Daily Double miss, has $1,400.
I smell a little Bob Harris in Martin Short too (no surprise). Short finishes in deep doo-doo debt, while Fisher has $7,800, and Cantone still leads with $8,200 (the second round was a little better than the first round). But not to worry- since they're nice people, Martin Short is given $100 to bet with in FJ!.
The category for that, BTW, is The Tony Awards.
The only tie in the "Best Musical" category came in 1960, between "The Sound of Music" and this show about a NYC mayor.
Short doesn't finish, but loses just two bucks. Fisher also has trouble coming up with something, and loses $2,800 to $5,000, so there will be no miracle win for Short. Cantone says "What is Fierello"....HE'S RIGHT! He wins the $50,000 for charity! Two nights to go in this celebration.
Lara Camelias was next up after that, playing Lucky Seven for a Chevy Equinox LS 4X2 (Std., Airbags, Prots). The first number is 2. For the second number, Camelias says 2.....it's 3, so she

With $5 to go heading into the last number, if she says 5 last, she will win. She.....does, and wins! The last number is 3, giving her the car and $2 in pocket change!

11/16/06 Results
TPIR: We started the day with two Lisas. The second Lisa played Stack the Deck for a Ford Ranger XL Regular Cab 4X2 (Std., Wheels, Cruise, AC, Stereo, Prot). The numbers...
4682731
For the first pair of products, we have a scrub brush and Hershey's syrup. The target is $2.25. Lisa guesses the syrup and is right, and selects the third digit, which is a 4 ($ _ _ , 4 _ _) .
For the second items, we have Nature Valley granola bars and Ziploc bags, and the price is $5.99. Lisa says the bags, and is right again! She chooses the fourth digit, which is 2
($ _ _ , 4 2 _). For the final items, we have Hot Pockets and Bird's Eye frozen corn, and the price is $2.49. She says the Hot Pockets....right again! She chooses the last digit. It's 7
($ _ _ , 4 2 7). The remaining digits are 6, 8, 3 and 1. She guesses $18,427......NO. It's $16,427. Bob comments on how close she was to letting the show have a perfect first half, as he says she was $2,000 off. Lisa does win $1,000 on the big wheel, and gets a big opportunity against Andrew, who didn't win too much on Punch-a-Bunch, small prize wise and money wise (he won $100).
Showcase #1 was a bedroom set, a necklace, and a trip to Athens, Greece. Andrew is given this one and bids $15,685. The big opportunity for Lisa? A new 2007 Corvette, along with a trip to St. Lucia and $1,000. She bids $46,000....Not going to work, as the ARP is $60,989, so Andrew wins his $21,644 showcase and a total of $22,971 in cash and prizes, while Lisa leaves with $1,599.
WOF: It's Night Four of Family Week from Texas. Tonight's players: Susan and Kati Fields, Ted Senah and Terri Tamurnia, and Mike and Meghan Spehar. Ted and Terri get on a roll since solving the first main puzzle of the game (which was a Prize Puzzle, winning them a Cancun trip).
They even get the Wild Card in the Mystery Round, and after that have $15,510 in cash and trip to their credit. But Pat's final spin in the Speed-Up Round lands on $6,000 for every consonant, so they aren't out of the woods yet. After everyone has $12,000 on the board, the team of Ted and Terri guess SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH....and WIN another $18,000 for a total of $36,510 in cash and trip! For the second straight night, the winning team will get to choose four consonants and a vowel in the bonus round!
Will Ted and Terri keep this big roll going? Let's find out. The bonus round category is Thing.
We start with...
_ E _ L _ _ S _
They choose A, B, C, D, and M and get...
_ E A L _ _ S _
Did it happen tonight....not this time. It was JEALOUSY. For the fourth straight time, the prize at stake was $30,000 (Are there as many $30,000 ones as $25,000 ones?). Oh well- they had nothing much to lose here- they go home with $36,510 in cash and prizes!
Family Feud: This time, I'm only covering the first show, which pits the Shumates, the champs, against the Bealls. The Bealls get the first 68 points on things you might do in the nude. The champs fire back with 51 thanks to giants, past or present.
Double: Name a man known for his dancing, excluding the host. Starter(s):
#1- Fred Astaire (41, Judy)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The Bealls play. Barbara says Michael Jackson.... #2 (20)! Ann has Gene Kelly... #3 (5)! Katie says Frank Sinatra...NO. Sally says MC Hammer....hammer her down, because that's not there, either. Judy says Billy Crystal (?!?!). NO WAY. The Shumates try to steal with Andre's response of Gregory Hines....not there either, so the Bealls are at 200! Other dancers: John Travolta and Patrick Swayze (Drew Lachey wasn't there).
Triple: A subject babies might talk about if they talked to each other. Starter(s):
#1- Food/Milk (33, Lisa)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The champs play. Frank says their parents.... tied for #1 with food (33)! Andre says diapers.... #4 (6)! One more and they win. Sophia tries to win with toys....it's there, but they only have 291, so we go to Sudden Death with Frank and Ann:
An occupation where you shake a lot of hands.
Frank says Congressman or President...THEY WIN at 519!
Fast Money: Frank and Lisa tackle the Shumates' third trip here. Questions:
1. An excuse for someone not coming to your birthday party.
2. Something specific in a jungle.
3. A vegetable that's grown in a patch.
4. Name something associated with an eye.
5. The most difficult sport.
Frank says sick(#1), lion(#1), lettuce, glasses(#1), and football (#1) for....128! Lisa tries to get the other 72. Lisa says somebody died for question one, and gets....7. She says tiger for a jungle thing.....17, up to 152! She says cabbage for a patch...23! Number one answer was pumpkin, but they only need 25 now. She says pupil for the eye.....7, so it comes down to the last question. For a tough sport, she says basketball. 18's needed, and we get......NOTHING! Darn. But they do get another $910, giving them $21,880 for three days.
Jeopardy!: On night seven of Celebrity Jeopardy!, we have "Dancing with the Stars" champion Drew Lachey, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Dana Delany. Poking humor categories: "Different Stokes" and "Dancing Painfully with the Stars". Lachey gets off to a fast start before the first comercial break, scoring $4,200. Mitchell fires back though, and late in the first round he runs up to this Daily Double for $3,000:
Also known as epinephrine, this horomone is secreted in response to stress, like fear or injury.
Mitchell says "What is adrealine?"....YES! He's got the lead. The round ends right there after that, as he's got $6,800 to Lachey's $4,800, and Delany's $3,400.
In Double Jeopardy!, Stokes goes on fire early after nailing most of the clues in "That old time religion", and has $14,000. But when we get to "It'll Play in New York", Delany decided to fire back, and now has $11,400. But Mitchell fires back, hitting the first Daily Double in "The Help":
In a 1974 Eric Clapton song, it's the person he didn't shoot.
Mitchell says the sheriff......not it. What is the Deputy? Mitchell's lead is down to $1,600, $13,000-$11,400. He does get the $1,600 clue in that category to go up to $14,600.
After another hot streak from him, Delany gets the $1,600 clue in "What a State I'm In" to get to the other Daily Double in that category, now at $13,000 to Mitchell's $16,600. Delany bets $3,600 for a tie. The clue:
I feel like a lover in this state that's named for England's celibate Queen, Elizabeth I. (Don't tell me.)
She says "What is Virginia?"....IT IS, AND WE'RE TIED! When the round ends, Delany now leads $20,200 to Mitchell's $18,600. Because they're so close, Lachey is still alive at $4,000.
FJ! category: Historic Objects.
Famous ones have included the Kimberley, the Great Mogul and the Star of Arkansas.
Lachey says "What is I'm palying for charity!!!". SUICIDE RESPONSE! That is, unless he bet very little. He bet.... everything, so it's definitely all coming down to Mitchell and Delany.
Stokes says "What is flags"....NO. He loses IT ALL. This is going to be interesting. Delany says "What is a bell?"....NO!! The correct response: What is a diamond? If Delany held on to at least one dollar, she's won. She bet....
$12,000! She wins the $50,000 for charity! Best game so far!

For the first pair of products, we have a scrub brush and Hershey's syrup. The target is $2.25. Lisa guesses the syrup and is right, and selects the third digit, which is a 4 ($ _ _ , 4 _ _) .
For the second items, we have Nature Valley granola bars and Ziploc bags, and the price is $5.99. Lisa says the bags, and is right again! She chooses the fourth digit, which is 2
($ _ _ , 4 2 _). For the final items, we have Hot Pockets and Bird's Eye frozen corn, and the price is $2.49. She says the Hot Pockets....right again! She chooses the last digit. It's 7
($ _ _ , 4 2 7). The remaining digits are 6, 8, 3 and 1. She guesses $18,427......NO. It's $16,427. Bob comments on how close she was to letting the show have a perfect first half, as he says she was $2,000 off. Lisa does win $1,000 on the big wheel, and gets a big opportunity against Andrew, who didn't win too much on Punch-a-Bunch, small prize wise and money wise (he won $100).
Showcase #1 was a bedroom set, a necklace, and a trip to Athens, Greece. Andrew is given this one and bids $15,685. The big opportunity for Lisa? A new 2007 Corvette, along with a trip to St. Lucia and $1,000. She bids $46,000....Not going to work, as the ARP is $60,989, so Andrew wins his $21,644 showcase and a total of $22,971 in cash and prizes, while Lisa leaves with $1,599.
WOF: It's Night Four of Family Week from Texas. Tonight's players: Susan and Kati Fields, Ted Senah and Terri Tamurnia, and Mike and Meghan Spehar. Ted and Terri get on a roll since solving the first main puzzle of the game (which was a Prize Puzzle, winning them a Cancun trip).
They even get the Wild Card in the Mystery Round, and after that have $15,510 in cash and trip to their credit. But Pat's final spin in the Speed-Up Round lands on $6,000 for every consonant, so they aren't out of the woods yet. After everyone has $12,000 on the board, the team of Ted and Terri guess SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH....and WIN another $18,000 for a total of $36,510 in cash and trip! For the second straight night, the winning team will get to choose four consonants and a vowel in the bonus round!
Will Ted and Terri keep this big roll going? Let's find out. The bonus round category is Thing.
We start with...
_ E _ L _ _ S _
They choose A, B, C, D, and M and get...
_ E A L _ _ S _
Did it happen tonight....not this time. It was JEALOUSY. For the fourth straight time, the prize at stake was $30,000 (Are there as many $30,000 ones as $25,000 ones?). Oh well- they had nothing much to lose here- they go home with $36,510 in cash and prizes!
Family Feud: This time, I'm only covering the first show, which pits the Shumates, the champs, against the Bealls. The Bealls get the first 68 points on things you might do in the nude. The champs fire back with 51 thanks to giants, past or present.
Double: Name a man known for his dancing, excluding the host. Starter(s):
#1- Fred Astaire (41, Judy)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The Bealls play. Barbara says Michael Jackson.... #2 (20)! Ann has Gene Kelly... #3 (5)! Katie says Frank Sinatra...NO. Sally says MC Hammer....hammer her down, because that's not there, either. Judy says Billy Crystal (?!?!). NO WAY. The Shumates try to steal with Andre's response of Gregory Hines....not there either, so the Bealls are at 200! Other dancers: John Travolta and Patrick Swayze (Drew Lachey wasn't there).
Triple: A subject babies might talk about if they talked to each other. Starter(s):
#1- Food/Milk (33, Lisa)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The champs play. Frank says their parents.... tied for #1 with food (33)! Andre says diapers.... #4 (6)! One more and they win. Sophia tries to win with toys....it's there, but they only have 291, so we go to Sudden Death with Frank and Ann:
An occupation where you shake a lot of hands.
Frank says Congressman or President...THEY WIN at 519!
Fast Money: Frank and Lisa tackle the Shumates' third trip here. Questions:
1. An excuse for someone not coming to your birthday party.
2. Something specific in a jungle.
3. A vegetable that's grown in a patch.
4. Name something associated with an eye.
5. The most difficult sport.
Frank says sick(#1), lion(#1), lettuce, glasses(#1), and football (#1) for....128! Lisa tries to get the other 72. Lisa says somebody died for question one, and gets....7. She says tiger for a jungle thing.....17, up to 152! She says cabbage for a patch...23! Number one answer was pumpkin, but they only need 25 now. She says pupil for the eye.....7, so it comes down to the last question. For a tough sport, she says basketball. 18's needed, and we get......NOTHING! Darn.

RECAP: The Biggest Loser III- Solo Mode Begins
The remaining contestants are now having to compete for themselves to win the $250,000. Prior to the challenge, every person had a photo shoot.
Challenge: You must ride a stationary bike in the air, 30 feet above the ground. Each time someone reaches the two-mile mark, the player is given the chance to lower one other player by 10 feet, who is also assessed a strike. If anyone gets three strikes,they're out. Last one standing wins immunity.
Adrian complains that the challenge is not fair, nor is the voting procedure, because the people who may get voted out are the new ones. Adrian walks off for a few minutes before she gets on the bike for the challenge. Kai has air freight.
Jaron reaches
the two-mile mark first, and gives Heather her first strike. Kai gives Adrienne a strike. Wiley gives Jaron a strike. Erik gives Jaron another strike. Adrienne downs Wiley. Heather downs Jaron, who gets his third strike, and is out. Marty gives whiny Adrienne her second strike. Adrienne would strike out shortly thereafter thanks to Kai. Wiley gives Heather strike two, and Erikgives strike three, eliminating her. Marty gives Kai her first strike, and Kai is having problems with her bike. Despite this, Kai gives a strike back to Marty. Wiley gives Erik
his first strike. Erik gives Wiley strike two. Kai gives Marty strike two, as well. Marty gives Erik his second strike. Wiley gives Kai strike two, so everyone is vunerable at this point.
Wiley strikes out because of Erik. Kai eliminates Marty, leaving her and Erik. The winner is......
Kai! She has won both immunity challenges!
Weigh-in Time: Remember, it's your percentage of weight loss that counts.
Immune Kai loses three pounds, and is at 198. She's lost 64 pounds so far.
The two peoples' weight loss percentages that are the lowest will be in danger of being eliminated.
Jaron loses 7 pounds, and is down to 231, a percentage of 2.94%.
Heather loses 7 pounds also! She's down to 179, a percentage loss of 3.76%!
Marty loses 8 pounds, and is down to 274! That's a percentage of....2.84%. Not quite enough.
He's lost 91 pounds so far.
Worrysome Adrian loses 7 pounds to 163! That's a percentage of....4.12%! She's made it to next week! Her worries are over, for now.
Wiley needs to lose at least 7 pounds to advance. He loses......NOTHING. Ouch. So he automatically is in the danger zone.
Erikneeds to lose at least ten pounds to advance. He loses......11! He's down to 307, a percentage of 3.46%! He's lost at least 100 pounds!
That means Wiley and Marty are up for elimination.
Arian votes for.....Marty. Jaron votes for.....Marty. One more vote and he's out. Kai votes for.....Wiley, so we keep going.
Because Marty will vote for Wiley, it comes down to Erik. The eliminated person is....
....Marty. But Marty may be back on the finale to go for a $100,000 consolation prize.

Family Feud: I'm only covering Game #2 today. It's the Hawkins family trying for an undefeated title and the chance to become only the fourth family in this version's history to win at least $60,000. But having other plans are the Mackey family. The Mackeys get the first 76 points. The Hawkins get the 100-point maximum on things you might dislike about shirts.
Double: Places you get ejected from. Starting with:
#1- Bar (70, Jennifer)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The champions play. Brian says restaurants....#2 (7)! Laura says sports events, and it's there at #6 (3). Jonathan says your house....#3 (7)! Melissa says school.... #5 (3)! One more and they're in the driver's seat. I know what the #4 answer is. Jennifer says a concert (?!?!).....NO! Brian draws a blank. Laura says store....NO WAY. Do the Mackeys know? They say theatre....not what I was thinking....but it's there to go up to 256!
Triple: According to 100 single women, name the worst day to be single. Starting with:
#1- Valentine's Day (55, Brian)
#2-
#3-
#4-
Of course, the champs play. Laura says Christmas, and no doubt about it, it's #2 (35). Jonathan says Mother's Day....NO. Melissa says birthday....#4 (3)! Jennifer says Thanksgiving....NO! One more chance with Brian, who says graduation....NO WAY! The challengers say.....New Year's Day to shipwreck the undefeated title bid! The Hawkins leave with $41,025.
Fast Money: For their first time, they pick Michael and Tara. Questions:
1. Whose opinion do you rely on when trying a bathing suit?
2. A place you'd be embarassed to be caught sleeping.
3. Something that appears on an airline ticket.
4. Besides fish, something in a fish tank.
5. The first thing that touches your lips each morning.
Michael says your mother, the opposing bedroom, date, rocks, and your wife for 31. Tara says best friend (#1), church, flight number, plants and toothbrush (#1) for.....143 total, giving them $715.
WOF: It's Day 3 of Family Week. Our contestants are Stephanie Moose and Wayne Money (!!), Clara Horn and John Davis, and Sara and Lynn Lamanack. Horn and Davis pick up the Wild Card in Round 2.....AND FINALLY, A TEAM WITH IT WINS! Davis and Horn win $23,300 in cash and trips, and will get to choose four consonants and a vowel in the bonus round!
As for the bonus puzzle itself, its categoryis Phrase. The big six get them....
_ _ _ E _ E
_ _ _ _
They choose M, K, B, D and I and get....
_ I _ E ME
_ _ _ _
It took me a few seconds to get this. They say GIVE ME A HUG before time expires to win the $30,000 and a total of $53,300 in cash and trips!
In Part 2 of Celebrity Jeopardy!, we begin with Steve Schrippa ("Sopranos"), Miguel Ferrer, and Harry Smith. Ferrer likes the first-category of "Crossing Jordan", as he starred on that show.
"The Sopranos" and "Smith" appear in Round 2. Going into the final, it's Smith with $12,000, Ferrer with $8,400, and Schrippa's all but out of it with $1,800.
FJ! category: Moive History.
Producer David Selznick was fined $5,000 by censors for using this word in a 1939 film.
The Soprano says "What is sex?", and loses it all. Ferrer says "What is damn" and is right! He doubles up to $16,400! Smith says "What is heck", giving the game and $50,000 to Ferrer!
TPIR: James Green was quite a jumping freak. He jumped after getting up on stage and learning that he can win a 2007 Ford Focus Sedan S (Std., AC) worth $15,260! For his two freebies in Spelling Bee, he chose 20 and 22. The first small item was a pedometer, and Green guessed $25. ARP: $40. Nothing there. The guess for the recorder was $35, and the ARP is....$15. Nothing again. For the stereo, Green guessed $45 and the ARP is....$33! Darn!
Now, he wisely took the $1,000 for the two cards, but I would have just gone one more time. Turns out, that first card had CAR on it! Ouch. Green does get to the Showcase, though!
Green faces Brenda Burke, who like Green was one of the first four contestants who got called to Come on Down on the show. Burke played Line Em' Up for a Dodge Caliber SE (Std., AC), as well as flatware, a toaster, and a clock. The setup:
1
? $945- Flatware
? $39- Toaster
? $872- Clock
5
Burke guessed $15,975....and got 1 number right. Burke guesses $19,375 next, and of course she's wrong. The ARP, as you probably know by now, is $14,985. Burke, like Green, gets to the Showcase.
The first Showcase featured special greeting cards. The first one leads to crystal candlesticks. The second leads to a trip to Miami, and the last leads to a Ford Escape XLS (Std., Prot)! Green bids and says $26,000. For Burke, she gets a visit from Port O' Price, where she sees a soda fountain, a baby's crib, and a GEM car. Burke bids $11,000.
ARP of Burke's showcase: $16,770 (I thought it would be at least $20,000 because of the soda fountain), a difference of $5,770. The ARP of Green's...$27,186! I thought he was over, but Green wins it and a total of $30,286 in cash and prizes!

Green faces Brenda Burke, who like Green was one of the first four contestants who got called to Come on Down on the show. Burke played Line Em' Up for a Dodge Caliber SE (Std., AC), as well as flatware, a toaster, and a clock. The setup:
1
? $945- Flatware
? $39- Toaster
? $872- Clock
5
Burke guessed $15,975....and got 1 number right. Burke guesses $19,375 next, and of course she's wrong. The ARP, as you probably know by now, is $14,985. Burke, like Green, gets to the Showcase.
The first Showcase featured special greeting cards. The first one leads to crystal candlesticks. The second leads to a trip to Miami, and the last leads to a Ford Escape XLS (Std., Prot)! Green bids and says $26,000. For Burke, she gets a visit from Port O' Price, where she sees a soda fountain, a baby's crib, and a GEM car. Burke bids $11,000.
ARP of Burke's showcase: $16,770 (I thought it would be at least $20,000 because of the soda fountain), a difference of $5,770. The ARP of Green's...$27,186! I thought he was over, but Green wins it and a total of $30,286 in cash and prizes!

Martha Scales-Klein is back tomorrow to start at $2,000.
Tribune and Freemantle sell "Family Feud" to Debmar-Mercury
According to Gameshownewsnet and Broadcasting and Cable.com, Tribune Entertainment has sold the distribution rights to the current version of "Family Feud" to Debmar-Maercury, a subsidiary of Lionsgate. This deal was made in order for Debmar-Mercury to get better time slots for the show next season. Thus, I expect the show to be back for at least one more season. Thus, IMO, I think this version of the show replaces "Street Smarts" as the little game show that could. But serious changes need to be made to the game, except for John O' Hurley.
"Show Me the Money" ratings
The debut of "Show Me The Money" got a 10.2 Fast Nielsen rating with a 15 share for the first half-hour, and a 7.3 with a 12 share for the remaining hour. The second sixty minutes was second for the night, beating CBS's new series, "3 Lbs.".

Dancing with the Stars: The Finals
It's finals time on "Dancing with the Stars"! We're getting serious now, as both teams will have to perform at least three dances. For the first round, they have to dance to the exact same song.
Up first are Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke, dancing the Samba. They dance to "You Can Feel It All Over". I gave it a 9, but what did the judges say? Len Goodman says he wasn't disappointed. Bruno Tambioli says it was quite a way to start. Carrie Ann Inaba says they blew her away. The scores are...all 10s! Great start!
Next is Mario Lopez (Super Mario) and Karina Smirnoff. They also have the Samba. I LOVED IT, and gave it a 10! As for the judges, Carrie says the team enjoyed themselves. Len says they messed up the promenades. Bruno says they had a great time. The scores are...2 10s and a 9 from Len, for a total of 29.
In Round 2, the teams get to choose their favorite dance of the season. Emmitt and Cheryl try the Mambo, which got them a 29 one time. I gave that a ten. Bruno says he delivered like a true professional. Carrie says they mastered the technique. Len says Smith's partner is an MVP partner. Needless to say, they get all 10s to double up to 60.
Mario's team does the Pasadoble. I gave that a ten as well. Len says it was great. Bruno calls him the Latin Thunderbolt. Carrie Ann says it was fabulous, and was a little disappointed Bruno couldn't dance. They get a 30 for 59 total.
Final round: FREESTYLE!!! Emmit and Cheryl Drew Lachey is shown helping out the team in the backstage scene. They dance to "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. According to me, they do the best dance of the season! Carrie says she anticiated this, and she wasn't disappointed. Len says Emmitt put the cherry on top of his work this season. Bruno said that they shaked on the lift a bit. We get a 10....another 10.....and a 9 from Bruno for a final score of 89 from the judges.
Mario and Karina dance to "It Takes Two". I gave that a nine. Bruno calls it a hit parade on the floor. Carrie says that was the best dance of the season. Len says if the dance was a film, it would be great. They get....30! We have a tie at 89! My scores are tied at 29 apiece! Once again, it comes down to you, viewers. The other stars who sat in the audience tonight will have to put on their gear, because they will be part of some exhibititon dances, as well as the big results, on Wednesday. See you then!

11/14/06 Results
Jeopardy!: On the final night of Part I of Celebrity Jeopardy! 2006, our stars are Harry Shearer, Isaac Mizarehi, and Soledad O' Brien. It was a tight game after round one. Appearing in Double Jeopardy!- the ever popular "Stupid Answers" category- New York Style! O' Brien finds the other daily double in the category of "NN", with the clue asking for two of the four U.S. states that had "NN" in their names. She......draws a blank. The two obvious ones: Tennessee and Minnesota. The other two: Connecticut and Pennsylvania. That dropped her deep into second place at $5,600. Soon after that, Shearer pulls away with it, but O' Brien fires back to stay in it. Scores into the final: Shearer with $21,600, O' Brien with $14,500, and Mizarehi with $6,400. The FJ! category is the United Nations:
Of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, the one that's the smallest in area.
Mizarehi says his apartment (?!?), and he loses everything. O'Brien says "What is France"...and is wrong. She loses $10,000 to $4,500. Shearer says "What is the United Kingdom?"....exclamation point here! He wins the $50,000 for charity!

Another strike comes down after that, so we go for the game on this steal. The Shirinians say from Tim the snake (?!?!)....NO WAY! The Hawkins are still champs with a score of 330! Answers unsaid: No/bad cheese, and other people (which I knew; exterminator wasn't accepted by the judges, but it didn't affect the outcome of the game).
Fast Money: Will Jonathan and Melissa help this family go over $60,000 and make Wednesday's Game #2 very interesting to watch? Let's find out. Questions:
1. Tell me how long it would take you to get in good shape.
2. A birthstone.
3. A big TV know-it-all.
4. Something you want to do before 30.
5. Besides tuna, a seafood that comes in a can.
Big Jon says three months, jade (bad), Seinfeld (bad), travel, and albacore (REALLY bad, as that's a type of tuna) for 29 points. Melissa says two months, ruby (#1), Ben Stein (bad, though I thought Alex Trebek for whatever reason), having kids and.....nothing on question 5. The last question should've been easy to get, as the #1 answer was salmon. They only earn $415 today, but it gives them a four-day total of $41,025. Will we have an undefeated family for the third straight week? Find out tomorrow!
WOF: Well, today's show is on my brother's birthday, whose name is Andrew. On this show for whatever reason, it seems to be a lucky day for contestants. A good example is one year ago, when Jessica Derenbacher in New Orleans won the $100,000, and I went bezerk! Years ago, a pair of Lexus RX330s were won in New York, and a team won over $100,000 as a result! Will there be such magic tonight? We'll find out as Mary Jo Schuete and Mike Point, Kyle and Natalie Navinka (Natalie is the subject of one of this week's cover stories on TVGameshows.net. Check it out if you can.), and Eva Yang and Karen Jones. It was a tight match between the first two teams, but the Nevinka pull it out with $15,500, depsite Mary Jo and Mike solving the last puzzle of the game.
I have a feeling about this. In addition to the cash, we have a pair of Chevy Tahoes and HHRs out there. The category is Thing. We start out with...

This was probably the hardest bonus puzzle this season. What made it so hard was that the answer didn't sound like a thing to me- it was a phrase! It was TOUGH BUT FAIR, and the $30,000 is lost for the second straight night. On the other hand, it shows that all good things can be human sometimes, so I'm off the hook for now.
TPIR: We started off with the easiest Clearance Sale playing so far this season- for a pinball machine, a motorbike, and a dinette set. Donna Newell played this, with the sale prices of $1,100, $2,850, and $4,000. Newell eventually places $1,100 on the pinball machine (?!?!), $2,850 on the motorcycle, and $4,000 on the dinette. NO WAY. $2,850 did indeed belong with the motorcycle, but the $4,000 obviously should've been on the pinball machine, and the $1,100 should've been on the dinette.
Next was Laith Masath, who played for $10,000 in the Grand Game. The products: popcorn, Oxi Clean, Mylanta, Goldfish crackers, Uncle Ben's rice, and Nature Valley granola bars. This is VERY easy like the first game, which should've been won. Masath gets with the program and chooses the Goldfish, the popcorn, the granola bars and the rice, in that order, for the $10,000!
Next- Richard Perry. He plays Master Key for a chafing dish, an electronic violin, and a Chevy Aveo 5-Door, all worth around $16,000. For Key #1, he had to price the pet grooming brush.
It was $31 or $10. Perry says $10, and of course he's right. He selects Key#3. For Key #2, the drink maker is either $23 or $38. Perry says $38....he's right again! That guarantees him at least one of the three main prizes. He chooses Key #4 with that. He tries that key.....and gets ZONKED! But we still have Key #3. It opens.....the chafing dish.....and the car! Perry wins it all! And he's in the Showcase!
He'll face Kimberly Matthews, who won a family game collection in Contestant's Row, and easily won Pick a Number for a trip to Jamaica. The first showcase features things George Washington might need if he had trouble crossing the water while rowing, with Gabrielle playing George. First, he might need some spare food.....in free Papa John's Pizza for a year (that's my type of prize) ! Then, he might need to find a hot island to spend some time in.....like lovely Fiji! And finally, he might need the perfect thing to replace that canoe....a pair of wavecrafts! Perry passes to Matthews, who bids $16,700. Perry has Broyhill's 100th Anniversary Dining Room Group, plus dinnerware, a patio group, and a Bullfrog spa. He bids $12,750.
ARP for Perry's: $23,065, a difference of $10,315. ARP for Matthews's: $30,345! She misses it by even more ($13,645), and Perry win the Showcase and $41,648! Matthews leaves with $4,851.
Of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, the one that's the smallest in area.
Mizarehi says his apartment (?!?), and he loses everything. O'Brien says "What is France"...and is wrong. She loses $10,000 to $4,500. Shearer says "What is the United Kingdom?"....exclamation point here! He wins the $50,000 for charity!
WWTBAM: Chris Petryshyn is back, ready to go for $50,000, with the 50:50, the phone, and the switch lifelines left. Question:
Seasons one and three of "The OC" both ended with the playing of a song that has what one-word title?
A: Amen
B: Hallejujah
C: Rejoice
D: Glory
He calls Karen for help, and she says A, but she's not sure. He thinks about answering....but he switches it out. The answer: B. New question:
What actor's production company "j.k. livin" gets its name from "You just gotta keep livin', man," a line from one of his films?
A: Jeff Bridges
B: Robert Downey, Jr.
C: Matthew McConaughey
D: Keanu Reeves
Petryshyn uses the 50:50, which leaves A and C, neither of which he thought of. He just goes with C....and has the $50,000! He stops there.
Kristi Lonardo is next. First question of note:
The theme song to what 1980s sitcom begins with the memorable line, "Streaks on the china never mattered before"?
A: "Gimme a Break"
B: "The Facts of Life"
C: "Mr. Belvidere"
D: "Designing Women"
She asks the audience, and 66% say C. She agrees...and has $4,000! For $16,000:
Which of these extreme mental conditions is not also the title of a Def Leoppard album?
A: Puromania
B: Euphoria
C: Hysteria
D: Dementra
She uses the 50:50, leaving B and D. She calls Jeremy, her old friend. He's sure it's B, although I'm not sure he understood the question. She goes with Jeremy...no wonder why I was worried- she's wrong. That sends her home with $1,000.
Santina Muha returns tomorrow to continue "Pop Culture Week", after getting the $1,000.

Dorlisa says friends....still not. Lisa says the locks to her door.....strikeout. It all comes down to this. Tyler says changing the will. It was the unsaid answer on the last question. If the same thing applies here, they win; if not, the Shumates are the new champions. Will is.....NOT THERE. The Shumates win at 315. The unsaid answer: Hairstyle. The champs leave with $1,535.

Frank draws a blank on question four. He goes with stuffed animal, 5 (#1), toothpaste, and guitar (#1) for....111! Not bad. Andre says plant, 4, aftershave (bad), legs, and violin for....six short of the goal. That's $970 for them.
The second half features some good champs in the Hawkins, who defend against the Shirinians.
The Hawkins get the first 72 points on things that a wife may think are good news, but a husband thinks is bad news. The Shirinians fire back with 56 of their own on the top 5 sports Joes, past or present (including Namath, Montana, Frazier, Dimaggio, and Frazier).

11/13/06 Results
Another week in sweeps....
Family Feud: Wha? Still nothing special? What's going on here? Anyway, starting off today are the Brockingtons against the Karbels. The Brockingtons take an ugly first question and 27 points on things that make a dress sexy. They go up to 113 after naming most of the things that can upset people at a bar.
Double: Something you call your mate that you also eat. Opening with....
#1- Honey (50, Jefferey)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6- Sweetie Pie (3, Cody)
Karbels play. Andrew says sugar....#3 (7). I thought Gaby had said nine o' clock...but she says lollipop....in any event, it's not there. Bob says Tootsie....no. Rocky says cookie......also a baddie.
We go for the steal with the champs, and Tyler says cupcake. For 120....it's there at #2! Others were lamb chop and sweet cake.
Triple: A breed of dog that starts with "C". Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- Collie (18, Debi)
#4- Chow Chow (12, Andrew)
#4 may be bad news for the challengers. Sure enough, the champs play. Lindsey says a censored answer....sure enough, it's not there. Tyler says Cocker Spaniel....#2 (28)! Amber says Corgie (?!?!)....NO WAY. They are still in the driver's seat, but this is their last chance. Cody says.....Chiuhuahua for the game and a total of 527!
Fast Money: It's Lindsey and Cody. Questions:
1. How many of the Ten Commandments have you broken this month?
2. Something you eat with your hands.
3. A word that starts with Q.
4. A dog that you make a big yard for.
5. Something you do that takes ten minutes.
Lindsey blanks on question four. With the ones she did say, she said three, pizza, quiet (#1), and brush your hair for.... 67. Cody says five, chicken (#1), quality (bad), great dane, and shower (#1) for..... 158 and $790, a total of $1,535 for two days.
For the other game, it's the Hawkins defending against the Carlines. The challengers take the first 65 points thanks to traffic signs that can describe someone's lovelife. The Hawkins fire back with 91 with things you don't want to happen while on a roller coaster.

#1- Elvis Pressley (36, Jennifer)
#2-
#3-

Champs play. Brian says Axel Rotten....no. Laura says Metallica....bad also. Jonathan says the Beatles....three straight strikes. For the Carline steal, Dashan says Jimmie Hendrix....NO! Champs up to 163. Not said: Mick Jagger, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and Tommy Lee.

She then says caviar....11 away (lobster was number one). She says make fire for the Boy Scouts...that gives them triple twos for $20,000, and $40,610 for three days!
WOF: It's Family Week, our last week in Dallas. Our first teams are: Laura and Tiffany Reeves, Paula Castillo and Matt Rhodea, and Tracy Ceteenie and Tommy Pogue. Tracy and Tommy got the Wild Card in the Jackpot Round and landed on the $3,500 space when they had it, but could not get a letter in the puzzle that turn, and they wound up hitting the Bankrupt the next time.
In the final Speed-Up Round, the Reeves and Paula and Matt battled for the championship. In the end, Paula and Matt solved LIONESS AND HER CUBS to win with $12,900.
The category for the bonus round was Thing. The Big Six got them...
_ _ _ _ _ _ N _
_ _ _ R
All four choices made the puzzle! That gets them...
M _ _ O G _ N _
D O O R
I thought it was a sure winner. They thought...and thought.....NOTHING! Ouch. It was MAHOGANY DOOR. They let the easiest $30,000 in the world slip away. Doggone it!
Jeopardy!: For Night 4 of Celebrity Jeopardy!, we have James Denton from "Desperate Housewives", Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met Your Mother" , and Bebe Neuwirth from "Frasier" and the Broadway scene. In the Double Jeopardy! round, there was a category called Neil! Patrick! Harris! Good one, writers. There were two all-in bets on Daily Doubles during the game- Neil did it in the first round, and James did it on the other Daily Double in the second round. Both were successful. Scores going into the final: Harris with $16,000, Denton with $9,600, and Neuwirth with $9,000. This is the best bunch of players I've seen in this group of shows so far, IMO. The final category: The Encylopedia Brittanica.
In the 1958 edition, this man penned the article on ventriloquism. (David Letterman did a ventriolquism week earlier this season on his show, and as of this writing, is doing an Impressionist Week this week.)
Neuwirth says "Who is Edgar Bergen", and is right. She doubles up to $18,000! Denton says....NOTHING! He loses it all, but will get $25,000 for his troubles. Harris is right, and risked.....$3,201! He wins the $50,000 for charity!
TPIR: A soul from Mississippi, where part of Hurricane Katrina hit, Belinda Nation, won some picnic equipment worth $500 and played Pathfinder for a Dodge Caravan (Std., Paint, Stereo,
Pedals, Heater, Sealant, FabProt). The board:
56412
31837
72264
89019
64538
First number is 2. Nation says 2 first and is wrong. She easily gets the board game at $30. She's wrong again by selecting 6, but gets another shot by directly getting the telephone/radio at $29.
She then goes with.....8 (DOH), and of course she's wrong again. For the drinks station, its either $200 or $250. She says $200...and she's still alive! The 0 is lit up. But her game would end after thinking the third number is 9, when it is actually 1. Price: $20,194. She does win $1,000 on the Big Wheel, though, and will face Donovan Washington, who played Now or Then for a trip to Arizona. He first goes with the Hot Pockets, with the given price of $2.49. Washington says now, and of course he's right. He then selects the nuts at $6.49 and says now....and what do you know, he's right again! I'm impressed he got that one. He goes for the win with the Betty Crocker cake mix at $1.55 and says Then in March 1997....and he wins!
Showcase #1 features things for the perfect man. First is a cell phone, then a Mediterranean Cruise, and finally.....a Hi-Lo travel trailer. Washington passes to Nation, who bids $22,950. Washington has things for some ways to wind. First, you could reel fish with a GPS system. Then, you can watch the dials turn on a grandfather clock. And then, you can wind down the road in a new Jeep Wrangler (Std., Paint, Seats, Cap)! He bids $22,500, and I have a feeling he's won.
ARP for Nation's Showcase: $27,437, a difference of $4,487. Let's see if I'm right. Washington's ARP: $22....7....75. Not quite enough for both showcases today, but he does win his showcase and a total of $25,811. Nation leaves with $1,759.
Deal or No Deal: Myra Lang is back to try to shoot for $300,000. Left on her board now: $1, $200, $400, $50,000 and the aformentioned $300,000. Lang says 20 first....and knocks out the dollar! The deal is now...$83,000. She......stops there! I would have gone one more time, but let's see what would happened. #21 would have been next....$200 would have been gone, and the offer would have been $115,000. Turns out she should have exactly gone one more time, as her next selection would have wiped out the $300,000. Her case had the $400.
Peter Shine is next. He is a NYC police officer. Shine chooses 9. He knocks the million out early in round one. He knocked out the $500,000 in Round 2, and has a Deal of $29,000, which he says No Deal to. His third round goes much better, and the offer shoots all the way up to $91,000! But he says No Deal. In Round 4, he takes out among other cases the $300,000. The offer is now in six figures, at $136,000! But that's not all- he's also offered a free dozen doughnuts (you heard me right)! He says No Deal to this tasty offer. In Round 5, he chooses 12....$200! Other case selection choice is 17...$50! The offer should be big now. It's...$195,000! If he says No Deal, it's one case mode now. He says....No Deal! Shine chooses #3....$200,000 is gone. Left now: $25, $75,000, $100,000, $400,000, and $750,000. The offer drops to $177,000. Shine says....No Deal! He then chooses #2...it's $25!!!! He's guaranteed at least $75,000!! The offer is $261,000! Not surprisngly, he says No Deal to that, given the board. He says #5.....he's not taking home the $750,000. The deal is now $144,000, and No Deal is said again. Shine says 18....it's $400,000. The final offer is $83,000. He says.....No Deal. Shine is taking home either $75,000 or $100,000. He gets.....
$100,000!! Congratulations, Peter! See you next time, everyone!
WWTBAM: Kicking off "Pop Culture Week" is Jenny Memmott. The first question of note:
Who sings "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night", the tune that kicks off NBC's weekly "Sunday Night Football" broadcasts?
A: Shakira
B: Pink
C: Kelly Clarkson
D: Nelly Fertado
She asks the audience. 58% percent say B, while 23% say C. She goes with B, and of course it's B for $8,000. For $16,000:
Revealed to be a Web hoax this year, the popular YouTube blogger "Bree" is better known by what online user name?
A: partygirl22

What popular movie about college life features a school dean named Dean Martin?
A: Animal House
B: House Party 2

She's pretty sure it's A.....but she's 100% WRONG. It was C, so she stays at $25,000. That was quick.

After a bidding war, what magazine acquired the U.S. rights to publish the first baby pictures of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt?
A: In Touch

Triple: A breed of dog that starts with "C". Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- Collie (18, Debi)
#4- Chow Chow (12, Andrew)
#4 may be bad news for the challengers. Sure enough, the champs play. Lindsey says a censored answer....sure enough, it's not there. Tyler says Cocker Spaniel....#2 (28)! Amber says Corgie (?!?!)....NO WAY. They are still in the driver's seat, but this is their last chance. Cody says.....Chiuhuahua for the game and a total of 527!
Fast Money: It's Lindsey and Cody. Questions:
1. How many of the Ten Commandments have you broken this month?
2. Something you eat with your hands.
3. A word that starts with Q.
4. A dog that you make a big yard for.
5. Something you do that takes ten minutes.
Lindsey blanks on question four. With the ones she did say, she said three, pizza, quiet (#1), and brush your hair for.... 67. Cody says five, chicken (#1), quality (bad), great dane, and shower (#1) for..... 158 and $790, a total of $1,535 for two days.
For the other game, it's the Hawkins defending against the Carlines. The challengers take the first 65 points thanks to traffic signs that can describe someone's lovelife. The Hawkins fire back with 91 with things you don't want to happen while on a roller coaster.
Double: Rock and Roll superstars. We start off with:
#1- Elvis Pressley (36, Jennifer)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
Champs play. Brian says Axel Rotten....no. Laura says Metallica....bad also. Jonathan says the Beatles....three straight strikes. For the Carline steal, Dashan says Jimmie Hendrix....NO! Champs up to 163. Not said: Mick Jagger, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and Tommy Lee.
Triple: Nicknames short people are tired of hearing. Starts with:
#1- Shorty (51, Sean)
#2-
#3-
#4-
Challengers play. Matthew's answer...not there. Dashan says little....no. Lizle says midget...still alive at #2 (13)! Jenn says shrimp....#3 (13)! Sean tries to force sudden death with mini....not with that. Champs try to close it out as Jonathan says tiny....NO! Game continues. Last answer: Pee Wee.
Sudden Death: Laura and Matthew play. Question: Name an excuse a teenager says when she arrives home late. Laura rings in with flat tire....all car problems win the game for the champs with a score of 319!
Fast Money: Jonathan and Melissa. Questions:
1. The proper number of days your mother-in-law can visit.
2. A good food that's expensive.
3. Something you learn to do in Boy Scouts.
4. Type of jewelry a man might own two of.
5. A flower that's also a girl's name.
Jonathan says two, wine, tie knots (#1), rings (#1) and rose (#1) for.....137! Melissa says one for question one.....IT'S NUMBER ONE AT 41! They're 22 away! She then says caviar....11 away (lobster was number one). She says make fire for the Boy Scouts...that gives them triple twos for $20,000, and $40,610 for three days!
WOF: It's Family Week, our last week in Dallas. Our first teams are: Laura and Tiffany Reeves, Paula Castillo and Matt Rhodea, and Tracy Ceteenie and Tommy Pogue. Tracy and Tommy got the Wild Card in the Jackpot Round and landed on the $3,500 space when they had it, but could not get a letter in the puzzle that turn, and they wound up hitting the Bankrupt the next time.
In the final Speed-Up Round, the Reeves and Paula and Matt battled for the championship. In the end, Paula and Matt solved LIONESS AND HER CUBS to win with $12,900.
The category for the bonus round was Thing. The Big Six got them...
_ _ _ _ _ _ N _
_ _ _ R
All four choices made the puzzle! That gets them...
M _ _ O G _ N _
D O O R
I thought it was a sure winner. They thought...and thought.....NOTHING! Ouch. It was MAHOGANY DOOR. They let the easiest $30,000 in the world slip away. Doggone it!
Jeopardy!: For Night 4 of Celebrity Jeopardy!, we have James Denton from "Desperate Housewives", Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met Your Mother" , and Bebe Neuwirth from "Frasier" and the Broadway scene. In the Double Jeopardy! round, there was a category called Neil! Patrick! Harris! Good one, writers. There were two all-in bets on Daily Doubles during the game- Neil did it in the first round, and James did it on the other Daily Double in the second round. Both were successful. Scores going into the final: Harris with $16,000, Denton with $9,600, and Neuwirth with $9,000. This is the best bunch of players I've seen in this group of shows so far, IMO. The final category: The Encylopedia Brittanica.
In the 1958 edition, this man penned the article on ventriloquism. (David Letterman did a ventriolquism week earlier this season on his show, and as of this writing, is doing an Impressionist Week this week.)
Neuwirth says "Who is Edgar Bergen", and is right. She doubles up to $18,000! Denton says....NOTHING! He loses it all, but will get $25,000 for his troubles. Harris is right, and risked.....$3,201! He wins the $50,000 for charity!
TPIR: A soul from Mississippi, where part of Hurricane Katrina hit, Belinda Nation, won some picnic equipment worth $500 and played Pathfinder for a Dodge Caravan (Std., Paint, Stereo,
Pedals, Heater, Sealant, FabProt). The board:
56412
31837
72264
89019
64538
First number is 2. Nation says 2 first and is wrong. She easily gets the board game at $30. She's wrong again by selecting 6, but gets another shot by directly getting the telephone/radio at $29.
She then goes with.....8 (DOH), and of course she's wrong again. For the drinks station, its either $200 or $250. She says $200...and she's still alive! The 0 is lit up. But her game would end after thinking the third number is 9, when it is actually 1. Price: $20,194. She does win $1,000 on the Big Wheel, though, and will face Donovan Washington, who played Now or Then for a trip to Arizona. He first goes with the Hot Pockets, with the given price of $2.49. Washington says now, and of course he's right. He then selects the nuts at $6.49 and says now....and what do you know, he's right again! I'm impressed he got that one. He goes for the win with the Betty Crocker cake mix at $1.55 and says Then in March 1997....and he wins!
Showcase #1 features things for the perfect man. First is a cell phone, then a Mediterranean Cruise, and finally.....a Hi-Lo travel trailer. Washington passes to Nation, who bids $22,950. Washington has things for some ways to wind. First, you could reel fish with a GPS system. Then, you can watch the dials turn on a grandfather clock. And then, you can wind down the road in a new Jeep Wrangler (Std., Paint, Seats, Cap)! He bids $22,500, and I have a feeling he's won.
ARP for Nation's Showcase: $27,437, a difference of $4,487. Let's see if I'm right. Washington's ARP: $22....7....75. Not quite enough for both showcases today, but he does win his showcase and a total of $25,811. Nation leaves with $1,759.
Deal or No Deal: Myra Lang is back to try to shoot for $300,000. Left on her board now: $1, $200, $400, $50,000 and the aformentioned $300,000. Lang says 20 first....and knocks out the dollar! The deal is now...$83,000. She......stops there! I would have gone one more time, but let's see what would happened. #21 would have been next....$200 would have been gone, and the offer would have been $115,000. Turns out she should have exactly gone one more time, as her next selection would have wiped out the $300,000. Her case had the $400.
Peter Shine is next. He is a NYC police officer. Shine chooses 9. He knocks the million out early in round one. He knocked out the $500,000 in Round 2, and has a Deal of $29,000, which he says No Deal to. His third round goes much better, and the offer shoots all the way up to $91,000! But he says No Deal. In Round 4, he takes out among other cases the $300,000. The offer is now in six figures, at $136,000! But that's not all- he's also offered a free dozen doughnuts (you heard me right)! He says No Deal to this tasty offer. In Round 5, he chooses 12....$200! Other case selection choice is 17...$50! The offer should be big now. It's...$195,000! If he says No Deal, it's one case mode now. He says....No Deal! Shine chooses #3....$200,000 is gone. Left now: $25, $75,000, $100,000, $400,000, and $750,000. The offer drops to $177,000. Shine says....No Deal! He then chooses #2...it's $25!!!! He's guaranteed at least $75,000!! The offer is $261,000! Not surprisngly, he says No Deal to that, given the board. He says #5.....he's not taking home the $750,000. The deal is now $144,000, and No Deal is said again. Shine says 18....it's $400,000. The final offer is $83,000. He says.....No Deal. Shine is taking home either $75,000 or $100,000. He gets.....
$100,000!! Congratulations, Peter! See you next time, everyone!

RECAP: Amazing Race X Nov. 12
We are now down to five teams. Who will make it to the final four?
Clue #1: Teams must travel about 6,000 miles by plane to Helinski, Finland. They must then report to a Kapelli coffee house, get on a computer, and view a special message from their AOL E-mail....which turns out to be a message from their parents. After that, they get their next clue.
Because of the limited availibility of flights to said place, all teams have been given tickets to Paris, France, where they can go to make negotiations for flights to Finland there, although they can stay in Madagascar if they want and try to book a flight to Finland there.
All teams get on a flight to Finland from Madagascar, although Lyn and Karilyn had trouble making negotiations with the travel agents. Lyn and Karilyn are in third place, while Rob and Kimberly are last.
Clue #2: Teams must board a train and travel about 120 miles. Then, they must take a taxi to a school called Soppeenharjun Koulu. They must follow the marked path to get to their next clue, which is....
Detour: Both are muddy tasks- Swamp This or Swamp That. In Swamp This, teams must get through a muddy field using cross-country skis. In Swamp That, teams must get through a muddy obstacle course.
Erwin and Godwin fall to last here; Rob and Kiberly move up to fourth. Tyler and James move up to first place, and Dustin and Kandace are second. Most teams do Swamp That, but Lyn and Karilyn do Swamp This.
Clue #4: Teams must travel 108 miles to Turku, then drive another 78 miles to Lohja. They must then find the Tytyrin Limestone Mine, and take the tram inside to receive their next clue.
Tyler and James discover they've changed clothes, and are worried there may be a penalty upcoming for them when they finish this leg.
Rob and Kimberly miss the train, and may be in trouble.
Roadblock: One person of a team has to get on a bike and go to a marked limestone site. They must get the limestone and use the tools provided to break open the gap that contains their next clue. James, Kandace and Godwin have done this task so far.
Clue #6: Teams must go to Olympic Stadium. Some teams think this is a Pit Stop, but it obviously isn't.
Clue #7: Teams must go up to the top of the stadium and rock-climb their way down to receive their next clue.
Tyler and James finish this, and they think they're done for tonight....
.....WE'RE done for tonight, not them. We'll pick this stage up next time.

RECAP: Finale of 1 vs. 100 Opening Run
Returning is Monique Saltani from L.A. She gets by the first two questions easily before encountering this...
If the ancient Romans had a hit game show pitting the person against 100 strangers, what would its title be?
A: 1 vs. L B: I vs. X C: 1 vs. C
Saltani asks for help. Eliminating B, she says A, and I had a reason to groan, because it's C. $14,450 to the Mob.
Our last contestant, for now, is Jonathan Keyhote. He does well until this:
Which animal is not indigenous to Africa?
A: The mascot of Toys R' Us
B: The lion of MGM
C: The mascot of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes
Keyhote asks for help. He chooses C.... and 47 of the mob said it. He's goes with it...and now has $75,750! Next:
Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle" would most likely be the theme song of what Greek character?
A: Icarus
B: Oedipus
C: Crpheus
Rather than use the other help, he decided to just go for it and says A....
...he's right, but only gets another $4,000, as only one got it wrong. New total: $79,750. He decides to stop there. Hope to see you soon!

11/10/06 Results- TPIR and Feud in danger of WIPEOUTS
WWTBAM: Sam Greenfield, a radio host, is back. He has reached $16,000, and has the audience and phone lifelines left. With the audience's help, he figures out the man who was shot in Dick Chaney's infamous accudent to get to the $25,000 mark. He switches out the first $50,000 question for this...
Michael Jackson has claimed that the changes in his complexion over the years are due to what skin condition?
A: Melanoma
B: Albinism
C: Dermaitis
D: Vitillago
Greenfield immediately says D....for $50,000! He still has the phone for this...
In the famous Grimm's fairy tale, the Pied Piper of Hamelin is described as "pied" because he does what?
A: Talks to animals
B: Wears colorful clothing
C: Does magic
D: Seeks revenge
Greenfield draws a total blank, so he calls his niece Debbie, who guesses B. Greenfield decides to try it...AND HE'S GOT $100,000! For $250K:
What is the only U.S. state that does not require its votes to be registered in order to vote?
A: Alaska
B: Wyoming
C: North Dakaota
D: Delaware
Greenfield mentions that he's played the online game a lot, and got to the virtual million a few times, but says the last time he played it, he got $500,000. He draws a blank on this one, and says his mother's been through a lot, so he takes the hundred grand. Answer: North Dakota.
New player: Christine Scott-Hayward. Last question of the day features her and this:
On the TV series "My Name is Earl", Darnell Turner is often called by what nickname, inspired by his place of employment?
A: Mop man
B: Crab man
C: Gas man
D: Watch man
She uses her last lifeline, the Phone-a-Friend. She calls Chandler, who says B, which is what I thought, even though I don't watch the show, because I've seen previews. She goes with that...and we're all right for $16,000! She stops with that as we close up shop on what has been a big week, giving away close to $750,000! Next week is Let's Go Pop Week (with pop-culture related questions for such players), and on Thanksgiving Week, the collegians come forward on College Week. See you then!
Family Feud: Will they do something special next week? In the meantime, the Harrises are here again on Game #1 defending against the Brockingtons. On this week of Game 1 shows, no one had successfully defended their title. A loss will result in a WIPEOUT. Will the Harrises stop that? Let's find out.
The challengers score the first 49 points thanks to some reasons police might let people off the hook for speeding. They go up to 145 on famous pigs, despite Amber throwing everyone off course with mother-in-law (IDIOT!!!).
Double: Something about cowboys that turn women on. Opening answer(s)...
#1-
#2- Tight jeans (20, Cody)
#3-
#4-
#5-
Kia says stirups (?!?!), and needless to say it's bad. Challengers play. Debi says hats.... NUMBER ONE (25)! Lindsey says guns....#5 (8). Tyler says their accents....no. Amber says asses....no. Cody says bad boy image....still alive at #4 (9)! Back to Debi, who tries to sweep with chaps...doesn't happen. The champs try to steal with boots...sorry, so the Buckingtons are at 269. The other answer: their walking.
Triple: Pets that might live longer than their owners. Opening answers:
#1-
#2-
#3- Dog (21, Richard)
#4-
Champs play. Davey says bird....#2 (25)! Rhonda says cat....#4 (19)! They're in good shape to force a playoff with no strikes. David says fish....no. Kia says turtle....NUMBER ONE, so we have a playoff with them at 273!
Sudden Death: Lindsey rings in on a place kids might store their junk if they're asked to clean their room. She says under the bed....good news for them with 476, bad news for the show- they have WIPED OUT (but there was a five-time champion family in the Game 2 shows, so it's not a total washout).
Fast Money: Tyler and Lindsey play. Questions:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how religious are you?
2. A slang word for money.
3. A foreign accent that's easy to imitate.
4. An animal's smell that could knock you over.
5. Something you sterilize.
He says 4, dinero (bad), Spanish, dog (#1), and medical equipment for....65. Lindsey says 10 (#1 at 24- why has the maximum been the number one answer for questions like these lately?), cash (#1), British (#1), cow (bad), and needles for....a total of 149, giving them $745.
For our second game, it's the Hawkins defending against the Cruzados. The Hawkins score the first 152 points thanks to naming excuses for sneaking out of work, and things about Rosie O' Donnell.
Double: Things in your house that are worn out. Opening answer:
#1- Rug/carpet (33, Jennifer)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
Hawkins play. Brian says couch...#3 (9). Laura says paint....no. They strike out the rest of the way, so we go to the Cruzados to steal. Tim says fence...no, so more points for the Hawkins team! Others: Chair, clothes, and a person.
Triple: Jerrys (Chant Jerry all you want). We start with...
#1-
#2-
#3- Seinfeld (13, Brian)
#4-
The champs play. Laura says Springer....a dynomite #2 (35)! Jonathan says Rice....#4(10)! I feel good about this. Melissa says McGuire...NO. Jennifer says Lewis.....THEY WIN with 521!
Fast Money: Jonathan and Melissa play it out. Questions:
1. A place where you might stay longer than you expected.
2. The country with the worst food.
3. The animal that you're must unsure about its sex.
4. The earliest time you call somebody in the morning.
5. The favorite summer fruit.
Jon says airport, China, monkey, 8:00 AM, and peach for....40. Melissa tries doctor's office (#1), Mexico, cat, 9:00 AM, and strawberries for....122 total, giving them a total of $20,610.
TPIR: One last chance to have a big winner this week, or it's a WIPEOUT. The first real chance came for Jack Baltam, who played Three Strikes for a Cadillac CTS (Std., AT, Seat, Luxury, Paint, Navigation, Wheels, PProt). The numbers were 2, 4,6, 7 and 9. Baltam gets the first strike right away. On his next two draws, he gets the 6, and is wrong on selecting the second and third digits. He does get the first two digits right on his next two draws, thus meaning he's playing for a $42,000+ car. He draws the 7 and selects the third digit....and is wrong. He again draws the 7, says fourth digit...wrong again. He gets strike two...and strike three. Price: $42,967.
We do have a good chance in the Showcase...both are very nice. The first deals with the models starring in having lunch with a Hollywood agent. It has a barrel sauna, a African Photographic Safari, and a pair of motorcycles. Top winner Luvania passes to runner-up Pam, who bids $12,000 (bad idea). Luvania has the things you need when on a diet showcase, which features a trip to Tahiti, a brass bed, and a Ford F-150. She bids $26,000.
ARP on the second showcase: $35,235, a difference of $9,235. Pam bid $12,000 on hers and the price is....$31,439, missing it by $19,439. That means TPIR has escaped WIPEOUT mode, as Luvania wins $43,314 in prizes!
WOF: To wrap up our second week in Dallas, our players were Adam Denton, Shalista Holmes, and Sherry Pate. Denton picks up the Wild Card during the Mystery Round (which was also the Prize Puzzle round, winning a Carribean trip). He had a substantial lead heading into the final speed-up round....but the Wild Card person gets shot down again, as in the $6,000 speed-up round, Pate solves BUISNESS PARTNERS to win with $21,550.
Trying to end the week with a bonus round win, she lands on the double star space. The category is a one-word Thing. The big six get her:
_ _ _ _ L _ T _
Her choices get her:
_ _ M _ L _ T _
A few seconds into the countdown, the answer struck me- HUMILITY. But Pate can't come up with it, and will be humiliated to know that she is not the owner of a new Cadillac CTS. Family Week wraps up the stay in Dallas next week.
Michael Jackson has claimed that the changes in his complexion over the years are due to what skin condition?
A: Melanoma
B: Albinism
C: Dermaitis
D: Vitillago
Greenfield immediately says D....for $50,000! He still has the phone for this...
In the famous Grimm's fairy tale, the Pied Piper of Hamelin is described as "pied" because he does what?
A: Talks to animals
B: Wears colorful clothing
C: Does magic
D: Seeks revenge
Greenfield draws a total blank, so he calls his niece Debbie, who guesses B. Greenfield decides to try it...AND HE'S GOT $100,000! For $250K:
What is the only U.S. state that does not require its votes to be registered in order to vote?
A: Alaska
B: Wyoming
C: North Dakaota
D: Delaware
Greenfield mentions that he's played the online game a lot, and got to the virtual million a few times, but says the last time he played it, he got $500,000. He draws a blank on this one, and says his mother's been through a lot, so he takes the hundred grand. Answer: North Dakota.
New player: Christine Scott-Hayward. Last question of the day features her and this:
On the TV series "My Name is Earl", Darnell Turner is often called by what nickname, inspired by his place of employment?
A: Mop man
B: Crab man
C: Gas man
D: Watch man
She uses her last lifeline, the Phone-a-Friend. She calls Chandler, who says B, which is what I thought, even though I don't watch the show, because I've seen previews. She goes with that...and we're all right for $16,000! She stops with that as we close up shop on what has been a big week, giving away close to $750,000! Next week is Let's Go Pop Week (with pop-culture related questions for such players), and on Thanksgiving Week, the collegians come forward on College Week. See you then!
Family Feud: Will they do something special next week? In the meantime, the Harrises are here again on Game #1 defending against the Brockingtons. On this week of Game 1 shows, no one had successfully defended their title. A loss will result in a WIPEOUT. Will the Harrises stop that? Let's find out.
The challengers score the first 49 points thanks to some reasons police might let people off the hook for speeding. They go up to 145 on famous pigs, despite Amber throwing everyone off course with mother-in-law (IDIOT!!!).
Double: Something about cowboys that turn women on. Opening answer(s)...
#1-
#2- Tight jeans (20, Cody)
#3-
#4-
#5-
Kia says stirups (?!?!), and needless to say it's bad. Challengers play. Debi says hats.... NUMBER ONE (25)! Lindsey says guns....#5 (8). Tyler says their accents....no. Amber says asses....no. Cody says bad boy image....still alive at #4 (9)! Back to Debi, who tries to sweep with chaps...doesn't happen. The champs try to steal with boots...sorry, so the Buckingtons are at 269. The other answer: their walking.
Triple: Pets that might live longer than their owners. Opening answers:
#1-
#2-
#3- Dog (21, Richard)
#4-
Champs play. Davey says bird....#2 (25)! Rhonda says cat....#4 (19)! They're in good shape to force a playoff with no strikes. David says fish....no. Kia says turtle....NUMBER ONE, so we have a playoff with them at 273!
Sudden Death: Lindsey rings in on a place kids might store their junk if they're asked to clean their room. She says under the bed....good news for them with 476, bad news for the show- they have WIPED OUT (but there was a five-time champion family in the Game 2 shows, so it's not a total washout).
Fast Money: Tyler and Lindsey play. Questions:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how religious are you?
2. A slang word for money.
3. A foreign accent that's easy to imitate.
4. An animal's smell that could knock you over.
5. Something you sterilize.
He says 4, dinero (bad), Spanish, dog (#1), and medical equipment for....65. Lindsey says 10 (#1 at 24- why has the maximum been the number one answer for questions like these lately?), cash (#1), British (#1), cow (bad), and needles for....a total of 149, giving them $745.
For our second game, it's the Hawkins defending against the Cruzados. The Hawkins score the first 152 points thanks to naming excuses for sneaking out of work, and things about Rosie O' Donnell.
Double: Things in your house that are worn out. Opening answer:
#1- Rug/carpet (33, Jennifer)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
Hawkins play. Brian says couch...#3 (9). Laura says paint....no. They strike out the rest of the way, so we go to the Cruzados to steal. Tim says fence...no, so more points for the Hawkins team! Others: Chair, clothes, and a person.
Triple: Jerrys (Chant Jerry all you want). We start with...
#1-
#2-
#3- Seinfeld (13, Brian)
#4-
The champs play. Laura says Springer....a dynomite #2 (35)! Jonathan says Rice....#4(10)! I feel good about this. Melissa says McGuire...NO. Jennifer says Lewis.....THEY WIN with 521!
Fast Money: Jonathan and Melissa play it out. Questions:
1. A place where you might stay longer than you expected.
2. The country with the worst food.
3. The animal that you're must unsure about its sex.
4. The earliest time you call somebody in the morning.
5. The favorite summer fruit.
Jon says airport, China, monkey, 8:00 AM, and peach for....40. Melissa tries doctor's office (#1), Mexico, cat, 9:00 AM, and strawberries for....122 total, giving them a total of $20,610.
TPIR: One last chance to have a big winner this week, or it's a WIPEOUT. The first real chance came for Jack Baltam, who played Three Strikes for a Cadillac CTS (Std., AT, Seat, Luxury, Paint, Navigation, Wheels, PProt). The numbers were 2, 4,6, 7 and 9. Baltam gets the first strike right away. On his next two draws, he gets the 6, and is wrong on selecting the second and third digits. He does get the first two digits right on his next two draws, thus meaning he's playing for a $42,000+ car. He draws the 7 and selects the third digit....and is wrong. He again draws the 7, says fourth digit...wrong again. He gets strike two...and strike three. Price: $42,967.
We do have a good chance in the Showcase...both are very nice. The first deals with the models starring in having lunch with a Hollywood agent. It has a barrel sauna, a African Photographic Safari, and a pair of motorcycles. Top winner Luvania passes to runner-up Pam, who bids $12,000 (bad idea). Luvania has the things you need when on a diet showcase, which features a trip to Tahiti, a brass bed, and a Ford F-150. She bids $26,000.
ARP on the second showcase: $35,235, a difference of $9,235. Pam bid $12,000 on hers and the price is....$31,439, missing it by $19,439. That means TPIR has escaped WIPEOUT mode, as Luvania wins $43,314 in prizes!
WOF: To wrap up our second week in Dallas, our players were Adam Denton, Shalista Holmes, and Sherry Pate. Denton picks up the Wild Card during the Mystery Round (which was also the Prize Puzzle round, winning a Carribean trip). He had a substantial lead heading into the final speed-up round....but the Wild Card person gets shot down again, as in the $6,000 speed-up round, Pate solves BUISNESS PARTNERS to win with $21,550.
Trying to end the week with a bonus round win, she lands on the double star space. The category is a one-word Thing. The big six get her:
_ _ _ _ L _ T _
Her choices get her:
_ _ M _ L _ T _
A few seconds into the countdown, the answer struck me- HUMILITY. But Pate can't come up with it, and will be humiliated to know that she is not the owner of a new Cadillac CTS. Family Week wraps up the stay in Dallas next week.

Family Feud: Starting out today's twin bill are the Roseth family versus the Harris family. The Roseths sweep the first question on places women spend so much time, that they should make a home out of it. The Roseths steal the second question on animals farmers can get so attached to that they wouldn't want to eat them (dog is there, but cat isn't). They have a big lead, 170-0.
Double: If America is #1, what country is #2? Answers after face-off:
#1- England (Holli, 42)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The Roseths play. Marisa says France....#4 (7). Nicole says Germany....#5 (6). Jessica says China....#2 (16). Noelle has Canada....they sweep another board without any strikes, and are 2 points away from winning!
Triple: A time-honored tradition that people observe at baseball games. Beginning answers...

#2- Seventh-inning stretch (Richard, 24)
#3-
#4-
The Harrises play. Davey says first pitch....nowhere to be found. Rhonda says eating hot dogs....#3 (5). David says singing the National Anthem....O say can you see, IT'S NUMBER ONE (66)! Kia says beer....no, ma'am. Richard tries to sweep for the team with the wave...NO. The Roseths try to shut the Harrises out with tailgating. It belongs in football....but not baseball, so the Harrises get 285 and force Sudden Death. The other one was the less obvious one of cheering.
Sudden Death: Something a mom hopes a new son-in-law has. Davey has job....and the Harrises win with 531!
Fast Money: Rhonda and Kia play for them. Questions:
1. How long can one hold their breath?
2. Name a drink people have before going to sleep.
3. A slang word for man.
4. Something in a phone book.
5. Name somthing you top a dessert with.
Rhonda gives 1 minute, hot milk (#1), dude, names, and whipped cream (#1), which adds up to four number ones and 147! Kia says 35 seconds....too oddball, so nothing. Then she says wine for the drink...25 away! She says homeboy for the man...nothing there. Guy was number one for that. She says phone numbers....and we have a $20,000 win, because that's number one!
For the other show, the Liedys are back due to some sort of an error. Because of some champions retiring undefeated last time, they are now the designated champions. They face the Hawkins. The challengers get double eights for the first board on things men hate to admit that their moms did to them as babies. The Liedys fire back on things a stripper would hate to have break in the middle of her performace, and lead 91-88.
Double: Georges. Opening answer:
#1- George Washington (51, Gabby)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
Liedys play. Alia says Foreman....#4 (4). Percy has Curious George....not there. Nakia says Wallace....not there, either. Marva says Bush...#2 (23)! Gabby says George of the Jungle...strikeout. The Hawkins attempt to steal from Jonathan with Clooney...156 more points for them! Other answer: George Harrison. The Hawkins lead 244-91.
Triple: When a celebrity uses a publiuc bathroom, name something he/she doesn't want a fan to come up and do. Opening answers...
#1- Autograph/Picture (82, Brian)
#2-

#4-
The Hawkins play again. Laura says toilet paper...no way. Jonathan says shake his/her hand....#2 (7). Melissa says a hug...no. Jennifer says talk to somebody on the cell phone.... also bad, so this steal is for the game. Wakia of the Liedys try asking about their life...NO! The Hawkins are the champions, 511-91. Others: Movie/project, and your name.
Fast Money: Jonathan and Melissa play.
1. Your favorite beverage.
2. The longest period of time you've gone without washing your hair.
3. A sports where fans are hush during one's performance.
4. Something that overflows.
5. Something that crooks break in.
Jonathan says water (#1), 2 days, golf (#1), toilet (#1), and house (#1) for four number ones and 185 points! Melissa tries to wrap it up with soda....and she does for the second $20,000 win of the day! She had the #1 answer of the second question, one week, as well!
TPIR: Wanna talk about heartbreak? Try this. Dorothy played Five Price Tags for a Ford Mustang Deluxe. The choices for the car were: $20,375, $21,419, $22,388, $23,980, and $24,631. She gets all four small items correct, which is a rarity in this game. Sadly, she becomes the latest contestant to get fooled by the Mustang- she picks all the prices except for the right one, which is $20,375. Adding insult to injury, we have another Double Overbid despite both Showcases having cars. Ouch. The show is now in danger of suffering a WIPEOUT.
Deal or No Deal: Miles Macintosh returned, but suffered big trouble early. He took out the $1 million and $750,000 cases in the first two rounds. He gets it together a little bit and winds up with a $59,000 deal. The most he could've had was an $81,000 deal, and his case had $25,000, so nothing much lost here. Myra Lang was next. She does fine the first two rounds, but Round 3 was HORRIBLE, losing the two biggest amounts on the board. In Round 4, she knocks out $5,000, $750, and $500. Offer now at $52,000, which she says no to. She knocks out $300 and $25, driving the offer to $76,000. She again rejects it, but knocks out the $200,000. After saying no deal to the last offer on the night, she is back on Monday with the $300,000 case serving as a landmine.
Jeopardy!: Tonight's celebirites on night two from New York: Curt Schilling, Jane Kazcmarek, and Doug Savant. The gameplay was much smoother than night one, even though they still left a lot of clues on the board. Heading into the final, the scores were Jane with $12,600, Doug with $9,600, and the pitcher with $4,400.
The final dealt with Celebrity Relatives:
Her great-great-grandmother Louisa Lane Drew once appeared in a play with the father of John Wilkes Booth.
Schilling says Who is Nancy Drew, and loses it all. He gets $25,000 for his charity, though. The Desperate Housewives star says Who is Drew Barrymore, and is right for $8,600 more, $18,200 for Savant. Jane says....Curt's response, resulting in laughter and a $50,000 win for Savant.
WOF: Tonight, we had Amanda Fine (good name), Kanvin Raven, and Bo Peyton. Kanvin Raven was quite a hyperactive contestant. Alas, he doesn't get to the bonus round, as Fine does with $12,000.
For her bonus puzzle, the category was Thing. The big six give her...

With her choices she got...

WWTBAM: Ogi Ogas is back with us, and at a very exciting time. This graduate student from Waltham, Massachussetts reached $250,000 yesterday, and has the 50:50 and the Switch? lifelines left. After all this buildup, we begin with the second $500,000 try of the season:
Who is the only member of the Beatles to have never performed on a Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon?
A: Paul McCartney
B: Ringo Starr
C: George Harrison
D: John Lennon
Ogas desperately wants to guess at this level to at least just see the $1,000,000 question.
He switches out of this one, though. Answer: C. New $500,000 question:
In the 1890s, heroin was introduced commercially to the U.S. by Bayer as a remedy for what ailment?
A: Stiff joints
B: High fever
C: Stuffy head
D: Persistant cough
Ogas uses the 50:50. His remaining choices: C and D. He's leaning towards D, but reminds himself that obvious answers at this level aren't usually right. He's then leaning towards C, and thinks that the writers of the show are making this stuff up. But he then locks back on D, and says that as his answer.....
....AND HE'S GOT $500,000!!!!! Now for the first time since November 2004, we are going for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
Which of these ships was NOT one of the three taken over by colonists during the Boston Tea Party?
A: Eleanor
B: Dartmouth
C: Beaver
D: William
He's pretty sure it's not B or C. But will he risk it? NO. He stops.
The answer was one of the two remianing: D, and Ogas freaks out, because it looks like that's what he would have guessed! Still, he is the biggest winner outright this season! Way to go.
Dave Brunk is next. The final question of the day:
Papyrology is the study of ancient what?
A: Medicines
B: Weapons
C: Manuscripts
D: Coins
He asks the audience, and almost everybody says C. He goes with that....and he's back tomorrow!
Feud: I'm only covering the second half of the doubleheader today, as the Abesamises look to go unbeaten. They face the Leidys. In the first round, the Liedys get a measly 9 points from a board full of Kerrys, Carries and Careys. In Round 2, the champs score 78 points from foods at convieience stores that looks like they've been heated for weeks.
Double: Movies about fishes. After the face-off:

She plays. Christine says "Flipper"....nothing. Krissy has "Finding Nemo".... A BIG NUMBER ONE (54)! Katherine says "Free Willy".....no. Amy has "Big Fish"....not as bad as "Go Fishing"....but it's still a strikeout. The Liedys try to steal with "Shark Tale".... and 140 is theirs!
Other movies: "Fish Called Wanda", "Little Mermaid", and "The Incredible Mr. Limpet".
Triple: Gifts that disappoint children when they get them. Beginning answers...
#1- Clothes (66, Christine)
#2-
#3- Money (11, Alia)
#4-
The champs play. Krissy says food...no good. Katherine says books....#2 (16)! Amy says card without cash....and they're going for more, becuse they're FIVE TIME CHAMPS with a score of 363!
Fast Money: Katherine and Amy take the board for the last time. Questions:
1. Name something or someone you might miss when you go to dinner.
2. Percentage of children who lie.
3. Something that comes out of a shell.
4. An occupation where it's important to be exact.
5. Something in your den.
Katherine goes with stuffed animal, 50%, lobster, mathematician, and a couch for..... just 20, with three zeroes to her name. Amy tries old shirt, 40%, clam, doctor, and TV for....a total of 105, giving them a final total of $22,925.
TPIR: I thought when Bob came out from the audience, we were going to play Golden Road. Instead, Plinko comes out, and only $1,500 is won. For the second Pricing Game, Lauren played Pocket Change for a Chevy Colorado LS Extended Cab 4X2. The numbers: 0, 2, 3, 7 and 9, and the first digit is 1. She guesses seven as the second digit....no. 50 cents for the truck. She then says nine....and she's right! She says seven for the third digit.....right again! It's pretty much a tossup between the 2 and 3 for the fourth digit. She goes with 2.....it's the 3. The truck is now at 75 cents. For the last digit, she says TWO....no way. $1 for the truck now, as its ARP is $19,730.
She starts off with a quarter. She first gets another quarter.....then a dime....another quarter.....and 75 cents! $1.60 buys the truck! She gets into the Showcase to face a UCLA student named Richard, who lost Money Game for the cheapo Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe.
Showcase #1 featured a Living Room and an ATV. Lauren passes this one to Richard, who bids $13,000. Lauren's attempting to win the Showcase where Phire Dawson gardens outside the Price warehouse. First, she sees a CD, which leads to a Wurlitzer jukebox. Then, she sees a pool ball, which leads to a pool table. Then, she sees a big anchor, which leads to a Catalina 25" Sailboat. Lauren says $18,500. Uh......no. She has the biggest Showcase whiff this season, as its ARP is $44,211, a difference of $25,711. Richard wins easily with a total of $18,555. Don't feel too bad for Lauren, though- she is still today's big winner with $20,855.
WOF: Tonight's players in Dallas- Don Martin, Lindy Stonesyke, and Catonya Flowers. Again, somebody tries to take the Wild Card farther- in this case, Stonesyke has it....but she fails. Martin won the match with $16,350 cash.
Trying to extend the bonus round winning streak to a season-high four straight, he gets Event as his category. The big six get him:
_ _ L _
_ _ _ R T _
He chooses C, D, M and A and gets....
_ _ L _
_ _ _ R T _
....nada. And nothing comes out of him, also, so the GMC Yukon goes back to the garage. This was a toughie without the word "the"; it was JULY FOURTH.
Jeopardy!: Beginning Celebrity Jeopardy! on this Wednesday from NYC are Carlson Kressley, Nancy Grace, and original WWTBAM host Regis Philbin. These three get off to a kinda shaky start, as these three fool around a bit too much, and left at least 10 clues unrevealed at the end of the first round. Things go much smoother in Double Jeopardy!, except for a controversial ruling on the second Daily Double. The right response was a flamingo, and Nancy Grace swore she said it, but the judges hear her pronounce it as "flamenco", so it was ruled wrong. Grace is not happy. At the end of that round, Carson has $11,600, Reege has $10,600, and Nancy has $7,600. Winner gets $50,000 for their charity, the others get $25,000 for charity.
FJ! is in the category of Women in Sports.
In 2006 the National Tennis Center in New York was renamed in her honor.
Nancy says "Who is Babe Didrikson?" after crossing out Billie Jean King (my guess).... bad idea. She loses $3,000 to $4,600. Regis says Billie Jean King, but adds just $2,000 for $12,600 total. Carson says that as well. Did he bet at least $1,000.......$999. OH NO- MISSED IT BY A DOLLAR! REGIS WON!!!
Who is the only member of the Beatles to have never performed on a Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon?
A: Paul McCartney
B: Ringo Starr
C: George Harrison
D: John Lennon
Ogas desperately wants to guess at this level to at least just see the $1,000,000 question.
He switches out of this one, though. Answer: C. New $500,000 question:
In the 1890s, heroin was introduced commercially to the U.S. by Bayer as a remedy for what ailment?
A: Stiff joints
B: High fever
C: Stuffy head
D: Persistant cough
Ogas uses the 50:50. His remaining choices: C and D. He's leaning towards D, but reminds himself that obvious answers at this level aren't usually right. He's then leaning towards C, and thinks that the writers of the show are making this stuff up. But he then locks back on D, and says that as his answer.....
....AND HE'S GOT $500,000!!!!! Now for the first time since November 2004, we are going for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
Which of these ships was NOT one of the three taken over by colonists during the Boston Tea Party?
A: Eleanor
B: Dartmouth
C: Beaver
D: William
He's pretty sure it's not B or C. But will he risk it? NO. He stops.
The answer was one of the two remianing: D, and Ogas freaks out, because it looks like that's what he would have guessed! Still, he is the biggest winner outright this season! Way to go.
Dave Brunk is next. The final question of the day:
Papyrology is the study of ancient what?
A: Medicines
B: Weapons
C: Manuscripts
D: Coins
He asks the audience, and almost everybody says C. He goes with that....and he's back tomorrow!
Feud: I'm only covering the second half of the doubleheader today, as the Abesamises look to go unbeaten. They face the Leidys. In the first round, the Liedys get a measly 9 points from a board full of Kerrys, Carries and Careys. In Round 2, the champs score 78 points from foods at convieience stores that looks like they've been heated for weeks.
Double: Movies about fishes. After the face-off:
#1-
#2- "Jaws" (16, Marie)
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
She plays. Christine says "Flipper"....nothing. Krissy has "Finding Nemo".... A BIG NUMBER ONE (54)! Katherine says "Free Willy".....no. Amy has "Big Fish"....not as bad as "Go Fishing"....but it's still a strikeout. The Liedys try to steal with "Shark Tale".... and 140 is theirs!
Other movies: "Fish Called Wanda", "Little Mermaid", and "The Incredible Mr. Limpet".
Triple: Gifts that disappoint children when they get them. Beginning answers...
#1- Clothes (66, Christine)
#2-
#3- Money (11, Alia)
#4-
The champs play. Krissy says food...no good. Katherine says books....#2 (16)! Amy says card without cash....and they're going for more, becuse they're FIVE TIME CHAMPS with a score of 363!
Fast Money: Katherine and Amy take the board for the last time. Questions:
1. Name something or someone you might miss when you go to dinner.
2. Percentage of children who lie.
3. Something that comes out of a shell.
4. An occupation where it's important to be exact.
5. Something in your den.
Katherine goes with stuffed animal, 50%, lobster, mathematician, and a couch for..... just 20, with three zeroes to her name. Amy tries old shirt, 40%, clam, doctor, and TV for....a total of 105, giving them a final total of $22,925.
TPIR: I thought when Bob came out from the audience, we were going to play Golden Road. Instead, Plinko comes out, and only $1,500 is won. For the second Pricing Game, Lauren played Pocket Change for a Chevy Colorado LS Extended Cab 4X2. The numbers: 0, 2, 3, 7 and 9, and the first digit is 1. She guesses seven as the second digit....no. 50 cents for the truck. She then says nine....and she's right! She says seven for the third digit.....right again! It's pretty much a tossup between the 2 and 3 for the fourth digit. She goes with 2.....it's the 3. The truck is now at 75 cents. For the last digit, she says TWO....no way. $1 for the truck now, as its ARP is $19,730.
She starts off with a quarter. She first gets another quarter.....then a dime....another quarter.....and 75 cents! $1.60 buys the truck! She gets into the Showcase to face a UCLA student named Richard, who lost Money Game for the cheapo Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe.
Showcase #1 featured a Living Room and an ATV. Lauren passes this one to Richard, who bids $13,000. Lauren's attempting to win the Showcase where Phire Dawson gardens outside the Price warehouse. First, she sees a CD, which leads to a Wurlitzer jukebox. Then, she sees a pool ball, which leads to a pool table. Then, she sees a big anchor, which leads to a Catalina 25" Sailboat. Lauren says $18,500. Uh......no. She has the biggest Showcase whiff this season, as its ARP is $44,211, a difference of $25,711. Richard wins easily with a total of $18,555. Don't feel too bad for Lauren, though- she is still today's big winner with $20,855.
WOF: Tonight's players in Dallas- Don Martin, Lindy Stonesyke, and Catonya Flowers. Again, somebody tries to take the Wild Card farther- in this case, Stonesyke has it....but she fails. Martin won the match with $16,350 cash.
Trying to extend the bonus round winning streak to a season-high four straight, he gets Event as his category. The big six get him:
_ _ L _
_ _ _ R T _
He chooses C, D, M and A and gets....
_ _ L _
_ _ _ R T _
....nada. And nothing comes out of him, also, so the GMC Yukon goes back to the garage. This was a toughie without the word "the"; it was JULY FOURTH.
Jeopardy!: Beginning Celebrity Jeopardy! on this Wednesday from NYC are Carlson Kressley, Nancy Grace, and original WWTBAM host Regis Philbin. These three get off to a kinda shaky start, as these three fool around a bit too much, and left at least 10 clues unrevealed at the end of the first round. Things go much smoother in Double Jeopardy!, except for a controversial ruling on the second Daily Double. The right response was a flamingo, and Nancy Grace swore she said it, but the judges hear her pronounce it as "flamenco", so it was ruled wrong. Grace is not happy. At the end of that round, Carson has $11,600, Reege has $10,600, and Nancy has $7,600. Winner gets $50,000 for their charity, the others get $25,000 for charity.

WOF: On night two of week 2 from Dallas, our players were Alexis Foster, Misty Miller, and Russell Bearie. Russell gets off to a hot start, solving the first two toss-ups, and then winning the Prize Puzzle round for a trip to Panama. Bearie only missed the puzzle in the Mystery Round, solved by Miller for $2,950. He won after solving RED-CHECKERED TABLECLOTH for a total of $18,300. Foster took home the $1,000 guarantee.
The cars out in Bonusland this week are a Cadillac CTS (won yesterday), and a GMC Yukon.
For Mr. Bearie, his category is Place, and the Big Six gets him...
_ _ _ _ _ T
His choices get him...
D _ _ _ _ T
I thought DUGOUT, and so does Bearie....and we're both right! This was a bonus round puzzle used four years ago in Chicago, and it was for $100,000. He solved it, but is the $100,000 there this time?
Nope- he got the bottom of the barrel, $25,000. Total: $43,300. After eight straight BR losses, we now have three straight wins, tying the longest steak so far this season!
Family Feud: For Game #1, it's the defending champions, the Davezans, playing the Hales. The challengers take the first round that dealt with things Harry Houdini might learn to escape while as a baby. The Hales lead into the first commercial break, despite the champs taking the round on things a woman might have a hard time not doing for a week. Score: 66-32.

Rob says a sexual problem....#5 (7) and one to go! Back to Stephen, who says dies to sweep....nope.

#2- Chimney fire (19, Stephen)

Leslie goes for the win with no children....three strikes. Watchdog says the challengers....no! But they only have 278 to the challengers' 190, so it's Sudden Death time. Other answer: Keeping children awake.
Bullseye Sudden Death: Something people like to guess about other people. Cindy of the Hales say age.... they win, 401-278!
Fast Money: The Hales choose Rachel and Stephen. The questions:

For the other game, it's the pillow-holding Abesamsises defending against the McAlisters. The McCalisters steal the first 82 points on people that might bail Paris Hilton out of jail. They get another 80 from things a short man does to make him look taller.
Double: Something you hope a boy has that a daughter doesn't have. Starting with:

Fast Money: Katherine and Amy play. Qs:
1. According to 100 single women, name the sport with the sexiest players.
2. An expression with the word "party".
3. An age when your brain starts to die down.
4. The most painful area of your body to get sunburned.
5. A subject where you can't resist losing your temper.
Katherine goes with football(#1), party down (bad), 45, face, and politics (#1)... and gets 96. Amy has baseball, party animal (#1), 30, back (#1), and religion.... it comes down to the last answer of religion. If 34 people say it, they have all the money. Survey said.... 10. They finish with 179, good for $895, a four-game total of $22,400.
TPIR: It's one of those shows where three games were played for cars. The first one was Safe Crackers, played by a Hawaiian named Marvel, and tried for a Dodge Caliber and a pair of telephones. The numbers in the phones' price was 0, 7, and 8. Tough choice....she picks $870....WIN! When she gets to the Showcase Showdown, she does a Hawaiian dance before getting started!
At the last game of the day, Cliff Hangers, Laurie played for a trip to Vancouver. For the pet brush, she says $5....it's $10, so the climber goes up 5. She says $50 for the emergency kit....it's $30, so she must get the last item, the breakfast maker, exactly right to win. She says $40.....great guess.....but it's $39. Ouch. She just gets the small prizes. She does get another shot in the Showcase, who faced Betty Sue, who won $1,500 in cash, $1,000 from the wheel.
First showcase consisted of a portable DVD player, a chest freezer, and a Fleetwood Prowler trailer. Betty Sue passes to Laurie, who bids $30,000. Betty Sue visits the TPIR Department Store, and finds ski equipment, a spa, and a snowmobile. She bids $23,000.
This doesn't look good, but showcases with snowmobiles tend to be fairly expensive....but the audience's fears are confirmed, with our second Double Overbid in three days. So Marvel ends as our big winner today with $16,694.
Jeopardy!: This is the last regular episode before the show heads to New York. Today's contestants: Jeff Speori (champ), Julie Kovach, and Ozgun Turner. Turner gets off to a decent start in the first round, racking up $10,400. Speori has $3,000, and Kovach has $2,600. Double Jeopardy! sees Turner add on to his lead, but Speori hangs in there, including a successful $3,000 bid on the first Daily Double to tie the game. At the end, Turner leads Speori by $7,000,
$20,600-$13,600, while Kovach has $6,000.
FJ! category was Presidential Distinctions:
Captured as a 14-year old soldier in 1781, he was the only president to have been a prisoner of war.
The odd lady out says James Monroe, and is wrong, losing everything but $1. Speori says Who is Andrew Jackson? That's right. and risks everything but a benjamin, to go up to $27,100. As for Turner....he did put that down too, but he crossed it out for Taylor instead. With the appropriate reaction of "DOH" from him, he goes down to $13,999, and Speori stays champ with a two-day total of $35,501. He'll be back near Thanksgiving.

11/6/06 Resuts
Time to begin the first full week of November sweeps, friends...

Which of these years was a leap year?
A: 1992
B: 1993
C: 1994
D: 1995
She calls Patty for help, who thinks its either 1992 or 1994, but isn't totally sure. Karla uses the 50:50, which leaves 1992 and 1994. Karla says '92, and of course is right for $16,000.
$25k question:
The 2nd cervicle vertebra, the part of the spine that enables the skull to rotate, has what name?
A: Pivot
B: Axis
C: Fulcrum
D: Focus
She draws a blank and banks $16,000. Answer: B.
New player: Sweety Richardson, who is a registered nurse. Her first question of note:
In a surprising 2005 announcement, the International Olympic Committee named what city as host of the 2012 Olympics?
A: Moscow
B: Paris
C: London
D: Madrid
She asks the audience, and it's kind of a pickle: 45% say C, and 30% say B. She goes with C anyway...and she's right!
For $25,000:
Enacted in most of America, dram shop laws are commonly used by courts to impose liability on which of these buisnesses?
A: Bars
B: Auto repair shops
C: Factories
D: Electronics stores
She calls Anne for help. She is positive on A, which is what I also thought of. That's what she says, and she gets to the $25,000 mark! $50,000...
When Lousiana became a state in 1812, the remaining Louisana Territory became known as what?
A: Oklahoma Territory
B: Kansas Territory
C: Nebraska Territory
D: Missouri Territory
She uses the 50:50 to leave.... C and D. Richardson says D....and she will return tomorrow!
Feud: They're not in the sweeps mood. The Bomgrens return from last time to face the Davesans. The champs win the first round which dealt with things that a crook doesn't want to see from another person. The challengers win the second round on singing families (which included the Osmonds, Partridges, and the Jacksons.) The Bomgrens lead 92-88 heading into Double territory, whose question asks for something a wife might do to a husband if they checked out another woman.

Fast Money: For their first time, they pick Patrice and Leslie. Questions:
1. A buisness that never seems to be open when you need it.
2. On a 1-10 scale, how good are you at driving?
3. A Southern crop.
4. Something we do to help us sleep.
5. A place of the body women remove hair from.
Patrice nails 145, thanks to 7-11(?!?, yet still scored 8), 9, corn, sleeping pills(#1), and underarms.
Leslie says bank for query #1...and has the #1 answer at 32! Is the driver's rating of 10 worth 23....YES! 29 (#1) is worth $20,000!
BTW, today starts a daily sweepstakes where at-home players can win $5,000 by answering survey questions. And we have another episode to do- the Abesamises returning from weeks ago to play the Brousils.
The Brousils win the first question dealing with reasons for a short honeymoon. The Abesamises take the second that dealt with descriptions of sumo wrestlers. After that, the champs lead, 95-71.

WOF: Time to begin Week 2 from Dallas, Texas. It's back to normal with Holly Hayes, Vivian Thomas, and Scott Beck. The Mystery Round is a little special this week- because the prize there is a 2007 Toyota Yaris! Wow! Hayes could've had it had she flipped over the Mystery Wedge when she landed on one a second time. That round, she also picked up the Wild Card. but opted to try to get to the bonus round with that intact. Alas, it didn't work- Beck comes in and scores big in the speed-up round with THE CONTINENT OF ANTARTICA to win with $17,800.
For tonight's bonus round, he lands on the $ space. The category is Things, and with the Big 6 we get...
_ L _ _ E _
_ _ T S
With his choices he gets...
_ L _ _ E _
P O T S
Could he come up with the right pots? "Glazed pots?" YES! That makes him the proud owner of a new Cadillac CTS worth $37,920, and he takes home $55,720 in cash and stuff!
TPIR: They tried to rebound from last week's disasterous outing. Yes, there were some wins today. The show also featured the return of Pass the Buck, played by Michael Allen for a Ford Focus ZX3. He gets one of two tough pairs of items, and has two picks at the board. #2 gets him.....nada. #6....no car, but $5,000 ain't bad. The car was behind #1. His money growing ways doesn't stop there- he gets $1,000 at the wheel. He faced Linda Deeley-Woods in the Showcase, who won a bunch of prizes in Credit Card, and was designated the top winner. The first Showcase features stuff you can wave from- a TV, a jet ski, and a Ford Mustang Convertible. But Woods passes to Allen, who bids $31,500. She goes for a dining room set and a trip to Scotland (Rowdy Rowdy Piper not included), and bids $13,550.
Her ARP is $17,470, a difference of $3,920. Michael must beat that to win. His ARP: $3.....8,402, a difference of $6,902. Not enough, so he leaves with $6,960 while Woods wins today with $24,927.
Jeopardy!: Looks like they want to begin this Celebrity Extravaganza on Wednesday. In the meantime, Dave Meddish returned as champion to face Shane McCune and Jeff Spoeri. Spoeri only leads by $200 over the champ, $4,400-$4,200, while McCune struggles almost all game. McCune doesn't get back into the positive until late in DJ!. Spoeri winds up winning with $8,401. while Meddish leaves with $38,201.
Deal or No Deal: Starting out the show is Nicole Cuglewski. She picks the sinful #13. When she got up to the last 6 cases, there was $200, $300, $10,000, $200,000, $400,000, and $1,000,000. She picks #1....and out goes $300! If she knocks out the $200 now, she's in very good shape. The Deal is.... $222,000. She says.....NO DEAL. She chooses #17.....$200,000. The offer still goes up to $247,000. After lots of tension time, she says......DEAL! Had she gone on, she would have chosen #6.......and would have knocked out the $200 and most likely have taken a deal of $517,000. OUCH. Her case had the $400,000.
Miles Macintosh was next. He took out several big amounts in the first two rounds, but the million is still out there, and he'll be back on Thursday.
WWTBAM: Beginning the show was Karla Fields, who owns a minivan. She gets up to this question...
Which of these years was a leap year?
A: 1992
B: 1993
C: 1994
D: 1995
She calls Patty for help, who thinks its either 1992 or 1994, but isn't totally sure. Karla uses the 50:50, which leaves 1992 and 1994. Karla says '92, and of course is right for $16,000.
$25k question:
The 2nd cervicle vertebra, the part of the spine that enables the skull to rotate, has what name?
A: Pivot
B: Axis
C: Fulcrum
D: Focus
She draws a blank and banks $16,000. Answer: B.
New player: Sweety Richardson, who is a registered nurse. Her first question of note:
In a surprising 2005 announcement, the International Olympic Committee named what city as host of the 2012 Olympics?
A: Moscow
B: Paris
C: London
D: Madrid
She asks the audience, and it's kind of a pickle: 45% say C, and 30% say B. She goes with C anyway...and she's right!
For $25,000:
Enacted in most of America, dram shop laws are commonly used by courts to impose liability on which of these buisnesses?
A: Bars
B: Auto repair shops
C: Factories
D: Electronics stores
She calls Anne for help. She is positive on A, which is what I also thought of. That's what she says, and she gets to the $25,000 mark! $50,000...
When Lousiana became a state in 1812, the remaining Louisana Territory became known as what?
A: Oklahoma Territory
B: Kansas Territory
C: Nebraska Territory
D: Missouri Territory
She uses the 50:50 to leave.... C and D. Richardson says D....and she will return tomorrow!
Feud: They're not in the sweeps mood. The Bomgrens return from last time to face the Davesans. The champs win the first round which dealt with things that a crook doesn't want to see from another person. The challengers win the second round on singing families (which included the Osmonds, Partridges, and the Jacksons.) The Bomgrens lead 92-88 heading into Double territory, whose question asks for something a wife might do to a husband if they checked out another woman.

Jeopardy!: They are off to NYC for the Celebrity Extavanganza, and to celebrate 5,000 episodes. Regis Philbin is one of the participants.
Wheel of Forune: Week 2 from Dallas.
WWTBAM: When this show hits sweeps time, it usually leads to bigger payoffs, but last season did not really see that type of magic. Will they return to form in November 2006?
Family Feud: TBA
1 vs. 100: The finale of their first five shows. How will things go after that?

Amazing Race X RECAP: Nov. 5
After getting a much needed victory in the finish first or else leg a couple of weeks ago, David and Mary have been marked for elimination again. Will history repeat itself? Let's find out now...
Clue #1: Teams must travel by plane to Madagascar. When they arrive, they must find the black statue in the city to find the next clue.
After everyone arrived there, David and Mary now have the lead. Rob and Kimberly are last at this point.
Intersection: Another new thing in this race. At this point, each team must join together with another team to do tasks together for an unspecified period.
Fast Forward: This is the other such opportunity in this edition of the race. David and Mary are ineligible to compete in this. Here, teams must travel to a meat market and find the location with cow lips on the table- which they must eat. All four people of a squad must eat a dish of these to win the Fast Forward. The Intersection stipulation is still in effect, so things could get interesting.
Otherwise, teams face a Detour situation, where teams must choose between Long Sleep or Short Letter. For Long Sleep, teams must travel in a green bus to a market where they sell bed mattresses. The teams must get eight of them, wrap them up in the provided covers, and make a delivery to the designated location to recieve their next clue. For Short Letter, teams must travel to a farm, where they must correctly create 28 sheets of paper with a flower design, using the provided supplies. If successful, they will receive their next clue.
Rob and Kimberly and Tyler and James attempt the Fast Forward. The other squads do the mattress task.
After the Detour, teams are back on their own. They must travel to the steps area called Tohotohobato Ambonorona Analakely, where they will find their next clue. David, Mary, Lyn and Karilyn go the wrong way while trying to deliver the beds, losing lots of time. Despite their car running out of gas on their way, Dustin and Kandace make it to....
Roadblock: Teams must find four rubber stamps, whose markings consist of a car, a boar, a plane, and a train. Once they get all four markings properly stamped, they must travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop- Cathedral Andohalo, where one team WILL be eliminated. At this point, the two teams trying for the Fast Forward are still stuck there.
Dustin and Kandace win a stage for the second straight week- this time winning a trip to Hawaii.
Also retaining their position for the second straight time- Tyler and James, at #2.
Rob and Kimberly lock in third- again, same as last week.
Same thing for Erwin and Godwin- they're team #4.
David and Mary finally finish, but are then sent to the Penalty Box for 30 minutes, as they were unsuccessful this time in winning a must-win leg.
Lyn and Karilyn have gas trouble....
...but still finish as #5.
That means that because of the penalty, David and Mary are eliminated from the race. They leave with a trip to Jamaica.

MVP and Big Winners for October 30-November 5
Time to annnounce my first weekly MVP and big winners list:
MVP: Anita English ("Deal or No Deal")
This lady was as lucky as they come for the first several rounds, leaving the five big amounts on the board until late in the game. Although she could not become the show's first millionaire, English pocketed $313,000, which I do believe is the biggest win in a regular game this season.
Other big winners this week:
Tracee Jones ("Deal or No Deal"- $292,000)
Ray Barnhardt and Bill May ("The Rich List"- $175,000)
Christophers ("Family Feud"- Undefeated champions with $42,315)
Chris Mazurek ("Jeopardy!"- $78,597 as four-time champ)
Ed Brown ("1 vs. 100"- $86,700)
Nancy Croutch and Julie Simpa ("Wheel of Fortune"- $83,176 ($41,588 apiece); show's highest
total this season)
Katie Furlong, Ray Rios and Dan Young ("WWTBAM"- $50,000)
Elizabeth Holmes ("The Price is Right"- $43,477)
(BTW, good luck tonight, Mickie James. Bring the championship back home to Richmond.)

"The Rich List" joins a VERY BAD list...
...of those shows that have been cancelled after just one appearance. See this article.
I seriously hope Eamonn Holmes gets the chance to host one of Sony's new sydnicated offerings for Fall 2007.

Friday's Results- Will WOF be a WIPEOUT victim?
TPIR: OUCH. For the second time in the past two seasons, no Pricing Games were won, and there was a Double Overbid. It wasn't a total shutout, though, as both who made it to the Showcase won $1,000 on the Big Wheel.
WWTBAM: Bethany got shot down by a George W. Bush question at $16,000, and left with $1,000.
Dan Young, a teacher, got up to $50,000. His final $50,000 question, after using his 50:50, was as follows...
Which two planets have the closest distance between each other?
A: Venus and Earth
B: Venus and the Moon
Young says A... and he just won $50,000! He stops there.
Coming up soon on this show: Guest hosts, and some pop-culture week.
1 vs. 100: Ed Brown returned. He used his help on his first two questions. He was able to figure out that NBC can punched on a phone with the combination 622, and was asked who was the first President of the United States- but in which state. He relied on the latter person's answer Virginia, which is my home state..... and it's Virginia! He stops there, giving him a final total of $86,700!
Kelly Roth was next. He was rolling along until this:
Which article of clothing does NOT have sleeves?
A: Blazer B: Shrug C: Pashmina
Thanks to memories of her lady at home, he says B. 28 people got it wrong.... but the answer is NOT B!! It's C. Doggone it! $6,950 goes to the mob to split.
Monique Saltany is our last player tonight. In her game, there are EIGHT professional wrestlers in the mob! I don't know any of them though. On this question:
In which board game can players move pieces diagonally?
A: Backgammon B: Checkers C: Chess
She uses her first help, as she isn't a board game fan. She wants to know how many said A.... not many. With that, she chooses B.... and she's right!
She gets the last question of the night right to take $9,950 into next time...if there is a next time.
WOF: Last day of Best Friends Week...and the show is in danger of its second WIPEOUT of the season. Nancy Croutch and Julie Simpa were tonight's champions, taking $20,546 in cash and trips, which includes a Caribbean Cruise. Most of those winnings came in the Jackpot round.
The all-important bonus puzzle started with the category of THING and:
_ _ _
_ _ _ E R
Their choices get them....
_ O B
O _ _ E R
... and with no trouble, they say JOB OFFER, and the skunk threat is killed! They also win a pair of Hummer H3s worth a combined $63,170!! Their total: $83,176, the highest total this season so far!
WWTBAM: Bethany got shot down by a George W. Bush question at $16,000, and left with $1,000.

Fast Neilsens for Thursday DOND and Rich List debut
"The Rich List" had a debut Fast Neilsen rating of.... 2.8 with a 4 share. OUCH. Not sure if it will be back for at least one more show.
"Deal or No Deal" on Thursday, however, scored its highest Thursday rating since moving to that night on a regular basis, scoring a 7.9 rating with a 12 share.

Thursday's Results
TPIR: Playing the first game of the day was Todd Daniels, who played Master Key for some watches, a dinette set, and a Ford Focus ZX3. He got both the frog thermos and the MP3 player's prices right, so he went beginning and end on the key board, selecting keys #1 and #5. #1 opens the lock to the watches....and it opens the car lock too! Key #5 is unnecessary, as he wins everything! Before he even got in contestant's row, Jessica Enox was the first contestant to come on down on ths show, and she wound up going to the Showcase in the second half of the show. But Daniels did even more winning before the Showcase, winning $6,000 on the Big Wheel! The first Showcase featured fake food items that led to a cool arcade game machine, a home entertainment center, and a Supercross trailer. Daniels passes to Enox, who bids $26,000. Daniels goes for trips to Japan, Italy, and Aruba. He bids $17,537.
The ARP for the trips showcase is $21,018, a difference of $3,481. The trailer showcase's price is.... $27,897, meaning Jessica wins with a difference of $1,897! She takes home $32,150 in prizes. Daniels leaves with $22,774 in cash and stuff.
WWTBAM: Katie Furlong is back, and with the sweeps period starting today, there's a very good chance she might at least go home with $100,000. She quickly threw away her first $100,000 question before seeing this:
Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud, rubbed on new baseballs at every Major League game since the 1950s, came from what state?
A: Ohio
B: New Jersey
C: Maryland
D: Pennsylvania
It doesn't happen here, as Furlong is stumped, so she banks the $50,000 she won yesterday. The answer was New Jersey.
Maybe Ray Rios, a firefighter from Philadelphia, will get into six figures. He got into $25,000 territory when he knew that the Supreme Court Justice who administered the presidential oath to George W. Bush and his father was Sandra Day O' Connor, with substantial help from the audience. With the phone-a-friend and the Switcheroo, here's the $50,000 Q:
In a memorable "SNL" sketch, what rock band encouraged its record producer to use "More Cowbell!" in their recording sessions?
A: AC/DC
B: Blondie
C: The Ramones
D: Blue Oyster Cult
He calls for help his friend Bob. Bob is 99% sure it's D. Rios goes with that, and it's 100% right! Can het get to $100,000?
After switching out the first $100,000 question, he gets...
What conservative South American country did not legalize abortion until 2004?
A: Uruguay
B: Columbia
C: Venezuela
D: Chile
Like Furlong earlier, he's stumped again, so he also quits at $50K. Answer: D.
Bethany Stollar starts with the $8,000 question Friday.
WOF: We're into sweeps now, so I have a feeling we may have a $100,000 win tonight, let alone a bonus round win at all. Jumping out to a fast start in the first main round was C.J. Jones and Sheila Smith, who won both a trip and the $10,000 prize for over $19,000. But doing very well on the toss-ups were Steve Jenkins and Jaime Roane, who got all three of them. They wound up solving the last puzzle, TALL IN THE SADDLE to win with $27,550.
As for the bonus puzzle, they started with the category of Phrase and...
_ _ _ _ S _
_ _ _ R _
Their choices gave them...
_ _ _ I S H
_ H _ R _
They got BOYISH...but that's all. CHARM was the other word. They won't add another $35,000. The show is now in danger of a WIPEOUT for a second time this season. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
DOND: Anita English is here. She was hoping to play the "Lucky Case" at-home game for months, and was unable to. But she's on the real thing. Needless to say, she really felt right at home, keeping the top 5 amounts on the board after four rounds, with $1, $50 and $10,000 out there! Howie calls this the best board he's seen on the show so far. The offer at that point was $292,000!! She says No Deal, and knocks out in Round 5..... $10,000 and $300,000. The offer now is $411,000. That's sweeps, folks. She knocks out the $750,000, though, ans is left with an offer of $347,000. She takes out the $400,000 next, and has an offer of $377,000 now. She says No Deal...and takes out $500,000. She now has a risky offer of $313,000, with the safety net gone. She says.... DEAL! But did she have the million?....
NO!!!!! It was the dollar!!! She is $313,000 richer!!!

Wednesday's Results
Jeopardy!: Chris Mazurek was trying to be the first five-time champion of the season. He zooms of to a fast start in the first round. But in the Double Jeopardy! round, things change and he majorly slows down. Jim Spilman gets several clues in a row, and eventually takes the lead. All three finish the round in five figures, and I do believe that when Maurek's slowdown began, he didn't get a single response right for the rest of the round. The scores heading into FJ! were:
Jim with $12,900, Chris with $12,600, and Liz Channon with $11,400.
FJ! fell under Phrases in American History:
This phrase linking 2 entities was in Jefferson's 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists, elaborating on the First Amendment.
Liz says "What are Church and State?", and is right. She risks $8,000 for $19,400 total. Mazurek says "What is seperation of Church and State", and he's right, risking $12,302 for a total of $24,902. Spilman says.... the same thing, and he bets..... $12,650, good enough to become the champion with $25,550. Mazurek leaves with a final total of $78,597, and we'll most likely see him again.
Feud: The Christophers tried to become the third five-time champions of the season against the Cains. They won the first two rounds, while the Cains won the third round. The triple round asked for something that can kill you with one bite. The Cains reveal snake, spider and shark before striking out. The Christophers debate over whether to use lion or bear. They say lion....AND THEY'RE FIVE-TIME CHAMPS! Now, can they win Fast Money? Carrie only gets 39 points. Wyatt does much better...but are still way off at 133, giving them $665 for a final total of $42,315. Instead of becoming the third-biggest five day winners of all-time, they become the third-biggest five-day winners... of the season, as the Houstons still lead with $42,415.
WWTBAM: Philip Blanda was the day's first contestant. He got up to the $16,000 query, where he was asked in a May 2006 referendum, what small Eastern European country voted to be independent of Serbia. He had to call Frank, who gives a guess of Montenegro. Philip goes with him, and he's right. He stops at $25,000, as he doesn't know that .news is the one that isn't used as a prefix ending for an Internet address.
Katie Furlong (nice name!) is the next contestant. She doesn't use a single lifeline until $25,000, when she was asked this:
When it runs out of names for naming tropical storms, the World Meteorological Orginization assigns names based on what?
A: Greek alphabet
B: Roman numerals
C: Constellations
D: Ancient Gods
She goes to the audience for help, and 78% say A, but remember, the audience has had a tendency of being wrong a lot at $25,000. But she goes with it anyway....and they're right for $25,000!
At $50,000, after using the 50:50, she is asked that Lesotho is a small island that is contained on either Kenya or South Africa. She calls her father for help, who draws a blank. She decides to hold her Switch lifeline and say B....and she's returning tomorrow for a shot at six figures!
TPIR: As we enter November, we have a contestant named Elizabeth trying to win a car, as the cars she has at her garage are way out of date. So, she got that chance playing Switcheroo, for a Ford Focus ZX4, as well as other stuff. The board:
Car: $16,7_ 5
Drink Dispenser: $ _ 0
CD Player: $ _ 8
Ice Cream Sphere: $ _ 9
Electric Toothbrush: $ _ 7
Numbers to use: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
After putting the numbers in the blanks to starts, she settles with $16,735 for the car, $40 for the drink dispenser, $58 for the CD player, $19 for the ice cream sphere, and $27 for the toothbrush. She ends up having 2 right on the first turn. She tries again, and ends up switching only the sphere's and the toothbrush's prices, thus having $29 for the sphere and $17 for toothbrush. As a result, she wins three prizes, which are the ice cream sphere, the drink dispenser.....and the car! She also gets into the Showcase to face Eli, who earlier won a trip to San Diego, which oddly enough is where he lives, playing Make Your Move.
The first Showcase was boxing themed, with a day bed, a mini spa, and a Pontiac G6 as the prizes. Elizabeth keeps it and bids $24,500. Eli shoots for a dining room, a BBQ grill, and a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina. He bids a Dice Game friendly price of $16,435.
Eli's showcase ARP is $22,603, a difference for him of $6,168. As for Elizabeth, her ARP is.... $25,274! That gives her a difference of $774, and a total of $43,477, while Eli leaves with $4,017. Way to go! (The total winnings graphic is now the new one, BTW.)
WOF: For the first time, a team still had the Wild Card heading into the final Speed-Up round. In this case, it was the team of Maureen Bob and Deb Willaford, who picked up the Wild Card during the Mystery Round (which was also the Instant Prize round, worth a trip to Hawaii). Then, it got more interesting when Pat's final spin landed on the $5,000 space, meaning $6,000 a consonant. While said team is trying to take the Wild Card into the bonus round, Katie Johnson and Thelma Wethau rack up $48,000 while trying to solve the puzzle. Turns out, neither team was successful, as Ryan Hennessy and Jorge Palarez win the match by solving BUTTERSCOTCH CARAMEL, taking $20,050 into the bonus round.
The bonus category was Thing. The base letters yielded:
_ _ _ _ _
_ R E _ _
Their choices got them:
_ _ _ _ D
D R E A M
We know it's a dream, but did they figure out the right one? Nope- they couldn't solve VIVID DREAM, which meant the V's shot them down from another $30,000.
Jim with $12,900, Chris with $12,600, and Liz Channon with $11,400.

RECAP: The Rich List: DEBUT
The Rich List: We begin with the following teams:
Amy Minderhardt and Eric Morris
Ray Barnhardt and Bill May
The objective is to first bid on how many things you can name in a certain category, without telling you specifically how many there are in total. You keep bidding until you decide to challenge the team. If the team fufills their bid, they win the game; otherwise, the other team wins. The first to win two games wins the match and a chance to play The Rich List.
First category was "Tom Cruise Movies". Amy and Eric start with a bid of 15. Ray and Bill counter with 16, but Amy and Eric shoot back with 18. That's where Ray and Bill challenge them.
They nail "Top Gun" and all of the "Mission Impossible" movies. Their key answers:
#7- "Far and Away"- GOOD
#10- "Magnolia"- GOOD
#14- "The Outsiders"- GOOD
#15- "Losin' It"- GOOD
#17- "Eyes Wide Shut"- GOOD
#18- "Willow"- BAD
Ray and Bill take the first game. The second category was short stories or books writen by Stephen King. The bidding goes by quickly, as Ray and Bill's bid of 9 is locked in. Their attempt goes quickly as well, as on their third answer, they say"Rose Red" when they should have said "Rose Madder". That ties the match up. For the deciding game, a see-saw round is played. When a team gets an answer right, and the other gets one wrong, the one with the right answer wins the match. Ray and Bill would end up becoming the first champions of this show!
Now, for the first-ever bonus round of this series. They have a chance to give up to 15 answers. For every three right answers, they win money. The first three gets them $10,000, the second three ups the winnings to $25,000, the third is worth $75,000, the fourth is worth $150,000, and all 15 wins the $250,000 top prize. They can stop after reaching any money level, but any incorrect answer loses the money. The bonus round category is: Oscar-winning movies for Best Picture.
#1- "Million Dollar Baby"- GOOD
#2- "Crash"- GOOD
#3- "The Godfather" - GOOD $10,000
They decide to continue.
#4- "Godfather II"- GOOD
#5- "Chariots of Fire" - GOOD
#6- "Dances with Wolves"- GOOD $25,000
They decide to stop here. "Titanic" was one of the answers they could have said.
New challengers for them: Ana Garcia and Benedict Burns.
First category of new match: Top 50 running Broadway plays of all time.
Ana and Benedict start with a bid of 10. Ray and Bill fire back with 11. Ana and Benedict fire back with 15...and that's where it's frozen.
Key Answers:
"Las Miserables"- GOOD
"Lion King"- GOOD
"South Pacific"- GOOD
"West Side Story"- BAD!!!
Ouch. Talk about a shocker. Ray and Bill get the first game. Second category is Top 50 read newspapers. A quick bid of 10 is reached by Ray and Bill.
Among their answers:
"Philadelphia Times"- GOOD
"Boston Globe"- GOOD
"Denver Post"- GOOD
"San Fransisco Chronicle"- GOOD
"Washington Post"- GOOD
"New York Post"- GOOD (need one more at this point to win)
"Cincinatti Enquirer"- WIN!!
Ray and Bill retain the championship. The category for their second trip to The Rich List is: Animated movies produced by Disney and/or Pixar.
#1-"The Lion King"- GOOD
#2-"Snow White"- GOOD
#3- "Cinderella"- GOOD $10,000
They go on.
#4- "Beauty and the Beast"- GOOD
#5- "Fantasia"- GOOD
#6- "The Little Mermaid"- GOOD $25,000
They continue.
#7- "Sleeping Beauty"- GOOD
#8- "Pocohantas"- GOOD
#9- "Toy Story"- GOOD $75,000!
It looks like they'll stop there, but Bill convinces Ray to continue with some help from the audience...which they do!
#10- "Lady and the Tramp"- GOOD
#11- "101 Dalamatians"- GOOD
#12- "Peter Pan"- GOOD $150,000!!
They definitely stop here. Could've said "Toy Story 2", "Cars", "Finding Nemo" and "Monsters Inc." They now have a total of $175,000, and will be back next time, if there is a next time.

On this Halloween....
Feud: It's time for Halloween Spectacular V! John O' Hurley played the role of Phantom of the Opera as the Christophers played the Ricards. As you might expect, the show featured many of its survey questions based on the said holiday. When all was said and done, the Christophers won again. As for Fast Money, they made an impressive comeback in the second half, with 39 points scored on the final question asking for something that had a keyboard (despite the number one answer, computer, scoring 51), to get $20,000 and a four-day total of $41,650. A win at Fast Money Wednesday could make them the third-highest five-day winners on this version of the show.
Jeopardy!: Yes, the show had some Halloween themed categories today. After Round 1, it was between champion Chris Mazurek ($5,200) and Connie Toohey ($4,800). Soon after, Michael Green took over second place, but Connie's still somewhat is still in it with Chris still leading, $11,600, to Michael's $7,200 and Connie's $3,500. The FJ! category was Government Forms with the clue being:
The title of form OSC-12 says it is used by this type of person, who's asked to "describe the agency wrongdoing".
Connie drew a blank, dropping to $5. Michael put "What is a tax assessor?", which was in my ballpark, as I would've said "Who is an IRS agent?", but it's wrong too, dropping him $4,500 to $2,700. Chris is all but out of the woods, while he puts "What is an ombudsman?", which is also wrong. Correct: What is a whistleblower! No problem- he just loses $2,801 for $8,799 today, and $76,597 for four days. He tries to become the first five-time champ of the season Wednesday.
(Two five day championship reigns on Wednesday? Quite a late Halloween treat!)
TPIR: On this Halloween, Triple Play came out for its second playing this season. Brandon Donovan got a shot at a Chevy Aveo 5-Door, a Pontiac Vibe, and a Ford Fusion V6. He nails the first step easily. On the second (the Vibe), the choices were $17,425, $19,219, and $21,980. Donovan goes against the audience and says $17,425, and it works, as the price is $18,165. For the last step, the prices were $20,462, $22,150, $24,160 and $26,940. He chose $22,150, and after pulling off the tag himself.....he finds a NO. The price was $21,275, so he should've picked the first price again. But there was no way anyone would've won this by selecting the first price all three times, so he gave it a good try. Thankfully, he does get to the Showcase to face Laurel Boracarpio, who was the only Pricing Game winner playing Secret X. Laurel tried for a room/trip showcase which featured a trip to Ireland, while Brandon tried for the Halloween showcase that featured 15 Horror flicks, a cool red organ, and a Reinell ski boat. Donovan said $27,000, a bid I did not approve of. Boracarpio's ARP was $18,811, a difference of $4,311, as he bid $14,500 on his showcase. But it looks like the producers were friendly to Brandon on his showcase- the price was $28,149, giving him the win with a difference of $1,149 and a total of $29,498. Laurel left with $6,495.
WWTBAM: Andrea Balinger returned on this Halloween. She got quite a scare on the $300 question, as she had to use the 50:50, which could've set up a disaster. The question asked for the TV show that had a theme song that contained the lyric: "Come on aboard- we've been expecting you". The remaining choices were "Cheers" and "The Love Boat". She says "The Love Boat" to get $300. She eventually skates to $8,000, as on $16,000 she doesn't know the animal that has its fur ususally trapped in the winter when it is almost white- Ermine (Chinchilla sounded better to me).
A weird name was next- Alan Doctor. He was smooth sailing until this stumper on the $16,000 question:
Literature lovers celebrate "Bloomsday" on June 16th because it is the day on which James Joyce book was set?
A: Finnegan's Wake
B: The Dubliners
C: A Portrait of the Artist...
D: Ulysses
He first uses the audience, and according to the results, it's a tossup between A and D, as 39% said D, and 35% said A. The phone doesn't do him any good, so he uses the 50:50, which leaves him.....B and D. He then brings himself to choose D, and the audience was right all along. He stops after that, as he doesn't know that according to urban legend, the actress mistakenly awarded an Oscar that was originally intended for Vanessa Redgrave was Marisa Tomei.
WOF: On Day 2 of Best Friends Week from Dallas, the Wild Card was taken late into the game. The team who had it were Bridgette Benton and Kim Holloway, who had a big lead after the Mystery Round with $16,700. But Mason Flink and Spencer Coon had a big round by hitting the $5,000 space and solving SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES to vault into the lead. They solve the last puzzle to win, $23,700 to $16,700. The other team was looking to take the Wild Card into the bonus, where they could've redeemed it for another consonant to use.
As for the bonus, Mason and Spencer started out with:
_ R _ _ _ _ _
Category was ON THE MAP. After their choices, they get:
_ R _ _ _ A _
I knew this one from the start, but did they know? Nope, apparently they're not geography buffs. It was URUGUAY. They won't be filling their treat basket with another $30,000.
