Lakisha Livingston is back with us. Her new partner is Alana. The category chosen this time is 1st Grade Art. For $5,000:
When you mix equal amounts of red and yellow paint, what color do you get?
She says orange and has $5,000! Next category is 1st Grade Astronomy. To double to ten grand:
What star is the closest to Earth?
She says the Sun....that's $10,000! Her new partner is Jacob. She goes for another $15,000 in 2nd Grade U.S. Geography.
What country has the longest border in the U.S.?
Now, if she gets this right, she is guaranteed to leave with at least $25,000 when the game ends.
She says Mexico. I say Canada. The answer is....
...my answer, and Jacob has it to guarantee her $25,000! She tries to double that in 4th Grade Math:
How many sides are there on a trapezoid?
She has no idea, so she peeks at Jacob's answer, which is 4. She agrees.....and is right for $50,000! I screwed up again on a math question- I would have said 3.
She then goes for 3rd Grade Reading. To double again, this time to $100,000:
True or False: Fiction books are not assigned numbers in the Dewey Decimal System.
I think that's false....and so does she....
...and that's $100,000! Another $75,000 is at stake in the next chosen category- 3rd Grade Measurements:
How many decades are in two millennia?
I say 200. But she's not sure enough, so she banks the $100,000! She would've said 20 instead!

American Idol Top 20: Girls
First up is Gina Glocksen. I thought she was doing "Over It" by Katherine McPhee, who was last
season's runner-up. But she sung a different song. In spite of that, I gave her a 10! Randy says she started off pitchy at the start, but got better over time, and said it was a good song choice. Paula thought it was excellent, but Simon thought her vocals were forced at the end. Total score from me to her: 17.
Second is Alaina Alexander. She's singing "Not Ready To Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks, who won five Grammys not too long ago. Her performance was aveerage- I gave it a 5. Randy thought it was sloppy. Paula said it was a tough song, but she did OK. Simon said she ran out of gas late in the song. Total for her: 7.
Third is LaKisha Jones, who is said to be the favorite to win right now. She sings "Midnight Train" by Gladys Knight. I gave her a 9. Randy says it was hot, even though the start was a bit rough. Simon says she needs to continue to stand out a lot. My score so far: 19.
Fourth is Melinda Doolittle. She sings "Each Day is Valentine". I also gave her a 9! Randy says she came out to win. Simon said that was incredible, and thought it was the best performance of the season! Her total score from me: 19.
Fifth is Antonella Barba, who has been in hot water ever since suspicious photos of her have been exposed to the publc. She sings "Because You Love Me" by Celiene Dion. While she was in tune, she struggled in several areas, and her voice was fairly annoying. I gave her a 3. Randy says she was beautiful, but it was the wrong song for her. Paula said she made leaps and bounds from last week, but Simon thought she was even worse than last week. Total score: 7.
Sixth is Jordin Sparks. She sings "Reflections of Who I Am". I gave her a 9! Randy noticed she was emotional during that song, and thought it was incredible that she sung that at 17. Simon said it wasn't the best, but she did better than most others. My score so far for her: 16.
Seventh is Stephanie Edwards. She sings "Dangerously in Love" by Beyonce. I thought she was just OK, so I gave her a 5. Randy thought she sung better, but thought she tried too hard on the rhythym. Paula thought she did well despite the difficulties, and Simon agreed. Total score for her now from me: 9.
Eighth is Leslie Hunt. She sings "It's a New Day". I also gave this a 9! Randy said she was better, but thought she was pitchy. Paula loved it. Simon said she's been way behind a few other girls in this round, and the performance wasn't enough to make her stand out that much. Total score from me now: 17.
Ninth is Haley Scarnato. She sings "Freedom of the Night". Another 9 for a singer from me!
Randy criticized the amount of background voices in the song, and it wasn't that good. Paula says it was better than last week. Simon said it was too crazy, and her vocals weren't that good. He also thinks she's one of the girls in danger of being cut tomorrow. My score for her now: 18.
Last is Sabrina Sloan. She sings "He Gives Me Love", and I thought she did wonderful! I gave her another 10! Randy says she lost the pitch a little, but still did very well. Paula thought she could be a big contender in this competition, and Simon said she shouldn't have picked a song with a lot of shouting, but thought she was very good. She has a perfect score of 20 from me so far.

The champs get the first 75 on things besides payments that you might hate about your jobs. The Hawks lead by one point after naming things that you might run for.
Double: An occasion when you're forced to pose for a family photo. Starting with:
#1- Christmas (49, Chrissy)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Hawks play. Denise says wedding......#3 (13)! Guy says funerals.....too somber of an event.
Fulton says birthdays......#5 (4). Brittney says a cruise (?!?!?)....NO WAY. Back to Chrissy, who says graduation.....three strikes. For the Box steal, Rebecca says Thanksgiving.....#4 (6) and they go to 205! Others: family reunion (23), anniversaries (2).
Triple: What would you realize more often if the beach you are on is a nude one? Baker says lose your shorts....#2 with staying or stripping (37). Denise says "Get the Hell out of here!!!!"....NUMBER ONE (44), so they could win! Guy says put on suntan lotion....sorry. Fulton says live in the sights.....#3 (10) and one away! Brittney says cover your eyes....that wins the game for them at 361! The champs leave with $22,030.
Fast Money: Fulton and Brittney take these questions:
1. Someone you often have to keep secrets away from.
2. Something you buy that goes with a guitar.
3. A state starting with W.
4. Something babies do more often than adults.
5. A creamy salad dressing.
Brittney drew a blank on question three. She said parents, pick (#1), poop and Ranch (#1) for 131! Fulton says wife (#1), amp, Wisconsin, cry (#1) and Caesar for $20,000!
TPIR: First today is Donna Dellard, who plays Spelling Bee for a Chevy Cobalt (Std., PProt) worth $14,184. Her freebie cards are #14 and #10. First small prize is a toaster, and she bids $25. ARP: $39, so nothing. Next is an MP3 holder, and she bids $40. ARP: $35, so she wins that and card #29. Last small prize is a travel mug, and the bid is $17. ARP: $15, so she gets that and card #4. First card says A. Second card says R. Third card says R too. Last card says....
...A, so no car for her.
Shellane Jensen then plays Coming or Going for a trip to Mexico. If she's coming, the price is $8,524. If she's going, the price is $4,258. She goes and wins!
Douglas Risak then plays for $10,000 in Grand Game. Target is $6, and the products are Downy, Pine Sol, Cortaid cream, dog food, V8 juice and shampoo. First pick is the juice, which is $2.99. Second pick is the shampoo, which is $3.99. Third pick is the Pine Sol, which is $2.29, so he has $1,000. He goes on and chooses the Downy....but that's $6.99 and he wins no money.
The dog food was $4.49.
Jensen gets into the Showcase after the first two players go over.
Amy Levette then plays Ten Chances for a tool kit, a washer/dryer, and a Pontiac G6 (Std., Pref., Pedals, Heater). The possible digits for the tool kit are 0, 5 and 7. She says $75, but is wrong. She says $70 next...but it's $50. She gets that on turn three. For the washer/dryer, the possible numbers are 0, 5, 8 and 9. She says $895, but is wrong. She says $950 for turn five....right! For the car, the numbers in the price are 0, 1, 5, 8 and 9. Her first shot at the car is $19,850....WIN!
Yvonne Biggins then plays Two for the Price of 1 for a Ford Ranger plus a sofa. For the sofa, her freebie choice is the last number, which is 3. The first number is either 4 or 9, and the second number is 6 or 8. Her guess is $963....another auto winner!
Harry James-Thomas is last, and he's celebrating a birthday on this show! He's playing for a brass bed, which is either $3,540 or $4,329. He says $4,329....perfect second half!
SSD2: The birthday boy spins 35....and a nickel for 40 cents. Biggins, BTW, is from Surprise, Arizona. She spins 75 and stays! Levette spins 60....and a nickel, so the Surprise lady is in the Showcase!
First Showcase has cookbooks, a dining room and a baby grand piano. Jensen gets this and bids $20,250. For the Surprise lady, we have some models conducting their own buisness on the side while at the studio! First, one model pumps up the air on some tires from a pair of bicycles. Second, Brandi has a hose that can fill the water inside a new hot tub. And finally, Phire gets to shine up a new Dodge Caliber SE (Std., Paint, AC, Mats, SRadio)! The Surprise lady bids $18,000.
ARP for Biggins: $20,605, a difference of $2,605. ARP for Jensen: $21,915, meaning she wins with a difference of $1,665, and takes home $26,943 in prizes.
WWTBAM: Starting the show is Frank LaSpina from Vegas, and is wearing a tux. At this point, when he left the last show, he is ready to tackle the $25,000 question with just the audience lifeline out of the mix. Question:
In 2006, "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry declined an offer to be the lead singer of what alternative rock band?
A: Soundgarden
B: Fuel
C: Incubus
D: Live
He calls Jerry, his "walking encyclopedia". But he runs out of time before giving an answer, so he uses the 50:50, leaving Fuel and Incubus. He remembers his 16-year-old son telling him Daughtry declined an offer for a band, and kinda remembers it's Fuel, so he says that and has $25,000! For $50,000:
A Swedish term meaning "speed play", faritek is a speed term developed specifically for what sport?
A: Running
B: Tennis
C: Figure Skating
D: Downhill Skiing
He says tennis....game over. Answer was running.
Next is Jeanette Brown. For $8,000:
The 2005 movie "North Country" is set in a small mining town in the northern part of what U.S. state?
A: Pennsylvania
B: Minnesota
C: Michigan
D: Washington
Brown asks the audience, and 45% say B, 28% say A and 17% say D. She uses the 50:50 next, leaving B and C. That makes it easy- she says Minnesota and is right. For $16,000:
In 1992, who became the first U.S. person to own a civilian version of the Humvee vehicle?
A: Nicholas Cage
B: Roseanne Barr
C: Jay Leno
D: Arnold Schwarzenegger
She calls Michael, her son/uncle, and he says the California governor. I thought for sure it was Jay Leno, but she agrees with Mike and is right! She stops after seeing a weather question.
WOF: Tonight, we have David Geary, Rhonda Halsheyer and Shelly Shearer. On the wheel to start is a trip to Aruba, and the Round 1 category is Place. The lady in the middle gets the $10,000 right away by calling an R! After she calls the A's, we have...
R _ A _ _ _ _ E
_ E _ E T A _ L E
_ T A N _
I don't know the top word. Her P call next is a dud. Shearer calls three D's, and a $300 G. She then solves ROADSIDE VEGETABLE STAND for her first $2,700.
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Event. After the winner of the last round calls the T's, we have...
E A T _ N _
T O
_ O _ R
_ E A R T' S
_ O N T E N T
...and she solves EATING TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT for over $3,000 cash, plus trips to Aruba and Paris! New total: $20,770.
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Before and After. The man spins $3,500 on his first two spins, and calls two S's and an N! Shearer gets the Wild Card later. After she calls the C's, we have...
_ _ _ _ _' S
_ _ _ _
C _ _ _
S _ N D W _ C _
I think the second half of the puzzle is CLUB SANDWICH. She calls two A's, then hits a Mystery Wedge and calls the L, and takes the $1,000 bailout (That was a Bankrupt under there, so wise call). She calls the U and the I next, then buys three O's, and now we have...
O _ _ A _' S
_ O O _
C L U _
S A N D W I C _
I know this now. She calls two B's for $1,200, and solves OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB SANDWICH for more money and a $1,000 Omaha Steaks gift certificate! New total for her: $24,570.
The lady in the middle gets VERTICAL BLINDS to go to $5,000. Next category is People. After she calls the E, we have...
_ _ _ _ _ R _ S _ N
S _ _ _ _ E R S
I think the second word is SOLDIERS. She calls the M for $600, and a C for $550. After she calls the O's, we now have..
C O M _ _ R _ S O N
S _ O _ _ E R S
Now I don't know the second word. She hits the Bankrupt, while Shearer gets a dud. The man calls three P's for $1,800, and after calling the H, he solves COMPARISON SHOPPERS for $2,100 and $3,100 total.
Speed-Up Round category is TV Title. Consonants are worth $1,400 each. Shearer calls two N's, but she can't solve. After the man calls the T, we have...
N _ _ _ T _ _ N _
I know this now, but he doesn't. The lady in the middle calls an R, which is a dud. Shearer also calls a dud in D. After another dud call by the man, Rhonda calls the G and solves NIGHTLINE to finish with $6,400. Shearer is our champion with $24,570, and she still has the Wild Card, so she gets to choose four consonants in the bonus round!
She spins the second zero. Category is Place. Starting with:
_ _ N _ _
_ _ L L
Shearer calls M, D, H, C and A and gets...
_ _ N _ _
H A L L
I think it's BINGO HALL. Does she? NO. She doesn't win another $30,000.

...NO DEAL. His next choice is #16....
...$1!! The new offer shoots to: $194,000! He says.....
....NO DEAL! Next choice is #4....
...$300!! New offer is: $277,000!! He says......
....after flirting with NO DEAL, says DEAL to all that money!!! Had he gotten to the final two, the cases would have $75,000 and $750,000. He had....
...$75,000 in his case, so he made a great deal!
Next is Beth Eva from Michigan. Her case choice is #3.
Round 1: Her first pick is #9....$10,000. Second pick is #8.....$10! Third pick is #5....$25,000.

The next offer turned down: $78,000.
Round 4: #7 is visited first....$750,000. Next is #23.....$1! The final pick is #4....$100,000.
New offer, as revealed by two of the banker's "nieces": GO AWAY CHA-CHA- $65,000.
NO DEAL.
Round 5: First choice is #2....$5! Other choice is #6....$1,000,000-OUT OF HERE. The $400,000 is the only biggie left. Because of this bad situation, she takes the $49,000 deal. Turns out, if she had extreme testacles, she would have had the $400,000. Bad luck!

...and she solves EATING TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT for over $3,000 cash, plus trips to Aruba and Paris! New total: $20,770.
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Before and After. The man spins $3,500 on his first two spins, and calls two S's and an N! Shearer gets the Wild Card later. After she calls the C's, we have...
_ _ _ _ _' S
_ _ _ _
C _ _ _
S _ N D W _ C _
I think the second half of the puzzle is CLUB SANDWICH. She calls two A's, then hits a Mystery Wedge and calls the L, and takes the $1,000 bailout (That was a Bankrupt under there, so wise call). She calls the U and the I next, then buys three O's, and now we have...
O _ _ A _' S
_ O O _
C L U _
S A N D W I C _
I know this now. She calls two B's for $1,200, and solves OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB SANDWICH for more money and a $1,000 Omaha Steaks gift certificate! New total for her: $24,570.
The lady in the middle gets VERTICAL BLINDS to go to $5,000. Next category is People. After she calls the E, we have...
_ _ _ _ _ R _ S _ N
S _ _ _ _ E R S
I think the second word is SOLDIERS. She calls the M for $600, and a C for $550. After she calls the O's, we now have..
C O M _ _ R _ S O N
S _ O _ _ E R S
Now I don't know the second word. She hits the Bankrupt, while Shearer gets a dud. The man calls three P's for $1,800, and after calling the H, he solves COMPARISON SHOPPERS for $2,100 and $3,100 total.
Speed-Up Round category is TV Title. Consonants are worth $1,400 each. Shearer calls two N's, but she can't solve. After the man calls the T, we have...
N _ _ _ T _ _ N _
I know this now, but he doesn't. The lady in the middle calls an R, which is a dud. Shearer also calls a dud in D. After another dud call by the man, Rhonda calls the G and solves NIGHTLINE to finish with $6,400. Shearer is our champion with $24,570, and she still has the Wild Card, so she gets to choose four consonants in the bonus round!
She spins the second zero. Category is Place. Starting with:
_ _ N _ _
_ _ L L
Shearer calls M, D, H, C and A and gets...
_ _ N _ _
H A L L
I think it's BINGO HALL. Does she? NO. She doesn't win another $30,000.

....NO DEAL! Next choice is #4....
...$300!! New offer is: $277,000!! He says......
....after flirting with NO DEAL, says DEAL to all that money!!! Had he gotten to the final two, the cases would have $75,000 and $750,000. He had....

NO DEAL.
Round 5: First choice is #2....$5! Other choice is #6....$1,000,000-OUT OF HERE. The $400,000 is the only biggie left. Because of this bad situation, she takes the $49,000 deal. Turns out, if she had extreme testacles, she would have had the $400,000. Bad luck!

DEBUT: Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?
There are five kids- Laura, Kyle, Jacob, Alana and Spencer. Our first contestant is Seth Finn. He chooses a kid, which is Laura. Now, for the rules. The player has to try to answer a question in each of ten categories. Each grade level has two subjects apiece.
The first two correct answers are worth $1,000 apiece. The third correct answer is worth another $3,000. #4 doubles the pot to $10,000. #5 is worth another $15,000. Each of the next two correct answers after that doubles the money, up to $100,000 for question #7. #8 is worth another $75,000, and #9 adds $100,000. If a player gets all ten right, they will have a total of $500,000 and will try to double it to $1 Million on one last question. If at any time they are out of help, they need to literally say in front of the camera, "I'm NOT Smarter Than a Fifth Grader!" in order to take home whatever is earned up to that point.
Finn's first choice is 1st Grade Social Studies. For $1,000:
In what month do we observe Columbus Day?
While he's thinking about it, the girl writes down her answer. The helps (Cheats) in the game are: You can look at someone's answer and take it, or you can force yourself to go with the answer a student has. Also, if a player gets a question wrong, but the student partner has the right answer, he/she can continue on in the game. An incorrect answer at any time with no help at all loses all the money.
Finn says September....WRONG ALREADY. It's October. But Laura has October, giving the man his first $1,000.
Finn takes 1st Grade Animal Science. For another $1,000:
True or False: In the wild, polar bears typically feed on penguins.
Finn decides to look at Laura's answer, which is False. He agrees....and is right!
Now, another rule: Each student gets to be with a contestant only two questions at a time. Finn chooses Spencer as his new partner. The category choice is 4th Grade Math. For $3,000 more:
If a triangle has an area of 16 square inches and a base of 8 inches, how long is its height.
I think it's 128 inches. But Finn uses his last Cheat, which is to copy Spencer's answer, which is 4. I think I blew this one...
...but he doesn't with Spencer, so he now has $5,000. He chooses 4th Grade U.S. History next. To double to $10,000:
Who was the first U.S. President to be impeached?
He thinks it's John Quincy Adams, but he decides to say the magic words and take the $5,000.
It was the right thing to do- it was Andrew Johnson instead. He struggled all game long, but at least he has some money to take home.
Next is Lakisha Livingston. Her first partner is Kyle. First category choice is 2nd Grade U.S. History:
Name the ship the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to the Plymouth Colony in America in 1620.
She says The Mayflower and is right! Next category choice is 4th Grade Health.
Part of a person's sleep cycle is called the REM Cycle. What does REM stand for?
She decides to copy Kyle's answer of Rapid Eye Movement....and that's the answer for $2,000!
She'll be back next time, if there is a next time.
The first two correct answers are worth $1,000 apiece. The third correct answer is worth another $3,000. #4 doubles the pot to $10,000. #5 is worth another $15,000. Each of the next two correct answers after that doubles the money, up to $100,000 for question #7. #8 is worth another $75,000, and #9 adds $100,000. If a player gets all ten right, they will have a total of $500,000 and will try to double it to $1 Million on one last question.

American Idol Top 20- Boys
Jeff Foxworthy is in the audience tonight!
Starting off is Phil Stacey. Simon thought he was the best of the boys last week. He sings "I Ain't Missin' You". He improved from last week- I gave him a 9! Randy says it was hot, Paula loved it too, and Simon knew he was very popular, but he wants to hear something unique. His total score from me at this stage is 17.
Second is Jared Cotter. He did pretty good here- I gave him an 8! Randy says it was pitchy, but it was OK. Paula says it was a song she didn't want to push, and she nearly dies laughing at Cotter's facial expressions during the song! Simon says he tried to make a statement, but says it was as corny as "The Love Boat". My total score for him is 12.
Third is AJ Tabaldo. He chose a song I've never heard of, and he didn't do that well, either. I gave him just a 3. Randy says it was better than last week. Paula said it was nice. Simon says it was nearly very good. My total score for him: 10.
Fourth is Sanjaya Malakar, who I thought did the best last week among the men. He was OK, but was pitchy at times. I gave him a 5. Randy says it was really wierd and weak. Paula said he was on pitch, and wants him to do songs that celebrate his youth. Simon compared this performance to a lunch peformance gone wrong. His score so far: 14. Malakar dedicated the performance to his grandfather.
Fifth is Chris Sligh, and he dedicates his performance to his wife. He sung his life away- I gave him a 10! Randy says he improved from last week, and the other two judges agreed! His score after two rounds: 14.
Sixth is Nicholas Pedro. The girls are probably going to love his performance, and so did I- 10!
Randy thought like the others so far, they are doing much better this week, even though he was a bit pitchy. Paula agreed, and Simon thought he lacked charisma for a love song. My score for him now is 16.
Seventh is Blake Lewis. He had fun, but lacked a little in enthusiasm. I gave him a 9. Randy says he really returned to form this week, especially with the end, and Paula agreed. But Simon thought the first part of his performance was nothing more than a copycat. His score so far: 17.
Eighth is Brandon Rogers. In the spirit of tonight, he dedicates his performance to his son.
He sings "Time After Time". He was WAY OUT OF TUNE. I gave him the lowest score possible- a 1. Randy said it was fairly boring. Paula felt her heart, but Simon said he needs to bring it on and put in a "wow" impression, and feelings like the song he did doesn't work.
His score from me so far is 7.
Ninth is Chris Richardson. He was good, but not great. I gave him a 6. Randy says Chris was here to win, and thought it was hotter than the original! Paula agreed, and Simon said he was the best of the night so far! My score for him so far: 9.
Last is Sundance Head. He sings "Mustang Sally"! This was AWESOME- I gave him a 10!
Randy said he dropped it like it's hot with all of that soul! Paula was stunned that he had that much singing range. Simon said the old Sundance was back! He has a score of 18, tops among the men!

2/27/2007 Results
TPIR: Starting today is Michelle Hammett, who plays for luggage marked at $2,000, a floor clock marked at $3,375 and a globe marked at $2,800 in One Wrong Price. I think the luggage is wrong, and Hammett says the globe...but I'm right and she's wrong. The luggage was $1,060.
Rishi Mukai then plays for $10,000 and other stuff in Half Off. First pair of small prizes are a telephone marked at $60 and a pitcher marked at $11. He picks the phone, but that's still $60. Next pair are a shaving system marked at $55 and a coffee press marked at $37. He picks the shaving system, which is $110! Last pair of items are an electronic game marked at $30 and a salad shooter marked at $23. He picks the salad maker, which is $46! Left for $10,000: #5, #8, #10 and #15. He picks #8, which is what I thought....THE MONEY'S THERE! Congratulations!
Mandy Johnson then plays Pass the Buck for a Ford Fusion worth $17,995! First pair of items are Poli Grip marked at $4.89 and Downy marked at $5.99. She thinks the Poli Grip is $5.89....but it's not. Other pair of items are mouthwash marked at $5.79 and bags marked at $4.99. She thinks the mouthwash is $6.79....right! Her first pick off the big board is #3....nothing.
#5 has....$1,000.
The $10,000 winner gets into the Showcase!
Gail Bishop, a kissing bandit, is fourth. She plays Bonkers for a trip to Belgium. Wrong price is $2,587. First guess is....well, she doesn't understand the game because she only places one marker up there and tries to hit the button. Bob tries to explain the game once again and resets the clock. You can pretty much guess she loses afterwards. Price is $4,214.
Dean Pearson then plays Line Em' Up for a Pontiac Vibe (Std., AT, ALB). Board:
1
?- $498- Digital Frames
?- $68- CD Player
?- $724- Chandelier
0
This should be easy. His first guess is $18,620....only the fourth digit is wrong. He then guesses $18,640....it's $18,670 instead and he loses. Too bad.
Kimey Murray then plays Barker's Bargain Bar for a refrigerator/freezer with a mini TV marked at $2,149, and a fireplace marked at $2,500. Murray's pick is the refrigerator. The fireplace ARP is $3,200, a difference of $700. The other prize must be at least $2,949 to win...and it's $3,149! She then spins the dollar at the wheel for $1,000 and gets to the Showcase!
First Showcase visits Dr. Tucknip, who gives patients unusual requests. First, someone wants a bigger nose so they can smell the food cooked on a new grill. Second, somebody wanted their ASS to be bigger so they can feel more comfortable sitting down with a new computer! And finally, somebody wanted a fin attached to their back so they can swim to a new West Potter Sailboat! He bids $29,500, and he's over. For the lady, we have a bedroom, golf clubs and a golf cart, and she bids $18,795. ARP for her: $17,440, so we have a Double Overbid.
Family Feud: Boxes try to put win #4 in their "box" against the Millers. The Millers score first with 93 on things of yours that might be in bad shape. They get another 35 on things that you say you do that you might actually do more often of.
Double: Super Match question- Get Out Of __________. Starting with:
#1- Here!!!! (27, Boo)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The champs play. Baker says the kitchen....no, sir. Jason says town....#2 (16)! Rebecca says line....NO. Mike says jail....good in Monopoly, but bad here, so three strikes. For the challenger steal, Jason says my way.....86 more for them! Others: my house and Dodge.
Triple: Something that has a face. Baker says human, but believe it or not, it's #2 (33). Danielle says animal....#3 (16), so the champs will try to force Sudden Death. Jason says clocks....NUMBER ONE (44)! If they win this round, it's playoff time. Rebecca thinks #4 is a coin....nope. Mike says dollar bills...that type of money is also a dud. Boo says dreams....all together at home- BOO!!!!! Jason will try to give the Millers the championship with radio....time to boo him, because we're going to Sudden Death! #4 was mask (2).

WOF: Tonight, we have Carrie Wilson (from Virginia!), Gina Esh and Mike Christian (from L.A.). No one got the $1,000 Toss-Up. Wilson gets the $2,000 Toss-Up of TRENDSETTER to start Round 1, with the category of Before and After, and a trip to Hawaii worth over $5,000 is on the wheel now. After the man calls the H's, we have...
T H E
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _
_ _
T H E
_ E _ R
The only word I don't think I know is the second word. He calls the Y, and calls two A's and one O. After he hits $2,500 and calls three F's, we now have...
T H E
_ _ F F _ _
_ A _
O F
T H E
Y E A R
I still have no clue. He calls two M's for $1,200, but spins again and gets Bankrupt. Ouch.
Wilson steals by calling the N's and solves THE MUFFIN MAN OF THE YEAR to go to $3,000.
Jackpot Round category is Living Things. After he calls the A's, we have...
_ _ _ _ I E S
_ A _ _ I N _
T _ E I R
T A I L S
I know this now. When he calls the G's for $900 apiece, only three appear, all in the second word. My guess is dead now. He gets the Bankrupt, so Wilson could steal again. She solves PUPPIES WAGGING THEIR TAILS for a trip to Hawaii, taking her to $8,300!
$10,000 Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food and Drink. After the lady in the middle calls the A's, we have...
_ R _ N _ _
_ A N I _ _ A
I _ _
_ R _ A _
I know this now. She calls two L's for $1,800, and she solves FRENCH VANILLA ICE CREAM for $4,100 and a trip to France, getting her on the board with $8,600 and the lead by $300!
Wilson gets the lead back with SIGN PAINTER to get the lead back with $11,300. Next category is Thing. After the lady in the middle calls two O's, we have...
_ _ S _ _ R _ T _ O _ _ _
T R _ E
S T O R _
She calls the Y and two A's, then hits $5,000 and calls two N's, and solves INSPIRATIONAL TRUE STORY for $12,350, and the lead is back with her with $20,950! Speed-Up Round occurs in the middle of the next round, with the category of Fun and Games, and consonants are worth $1,350 each. After she calls the N's, we have...
_ N _ _ _ T _
R _ _ _ _
&
_ A _ N _
...but she can't solve. The man calls three S's, but can't solve. After he calls the P several turns later, we have...
_ N _ _ _ T S
R _ _ _ S
&
P A _ N S
...I know the last word is PAWNS, but he doesn't know. Wilson eventually solves KNIGHTS, ROOKS & PAWNS for $1,350 and finish with $12,650, but the lady in the middle is our champion with $20,950!
The Mini Cooper at stake this week is of the convertible variety, and the Ford Escape is the Hybrid. She spins the U. Category is Phrase. Starting with:
_ _ _ _ _ N _
_ _ R

I think it's something FOR YOU. Ish calls G, D, M and I and gets...
_ _ M _ I N G

Does she know....YES, with JUMPING FOR JOY! Not what I had in mind at all! She wins $30,000 and takes home $50,950 in cash and stuff!
Rishi Mukai then plays for $10,000 and other stuff in Half Off. First pair of small prizes are a telephone marked at $60 and a pitcher marked at $11. He picks the phone, but that's still $60. Next pair are a shaving system marked at $55 and a coffee press marked at $37. He picks the shaving system, which is $110! Last pair of items are an electronic game marked at $30 and a salad shooter marked at $23. He picks the salad maker, which is $46! Left for $10,000: #5, #8, #10 and #15. He picks #8, which is what I thought....THE MONEY'S THERE! Congratulations!
Mandy Johnson then plays Pass the Buck for a Ford Fusion worth $17,995! First pair of items are Poli Grip marked at $4.89 and Downy marked at $5.99. She thinks the Poli Grip is $5.89....but it's not. Other pair of items are mouthwash marked at $5.79 and bags marked at $4.99. She thinks the mouthwash is $6.79....right! Her first pick off the big board is #3....nothing.
#5 has....$1,000.
The $10,000 winner gets into the Showcase!
Gail Bishop, a kissing bandit, is fourth. She plays Bonkers for a trip to Belgium. Wrong price is $2,587. First guess is....well, she doesn't understand the game because she only places one marker up there and tries to hit the button. Bob tries to explain the game once again and resets the clock. You can pretty much guess she loses afterwards. Price is $4,214.

This should be easy. His first guess is $18,620....only the fourth digit is wrong. He then guesses $18,640....it's $18,670 instead and he loses. Too bad.
Kimey Murray then plays Barker's Bargain Bar for a refrigerator/freezer with a mini TV marked at $2,149, and a fireplace marked at $2,500. Murray's pick is the refrigerator. The fireplace ARP is $3,200, a difference of $700. The other prize must be at least $2,949 to win...and it's $3,149! She then spins the dollar at the wheel for $1,000 and gets to the Showcase!
First Showcase visits Dr. Tucknip, who gives patients unusual requests. First, someone wants a bigger nose so they can smell the food cooked on a new grill. Second, somebody wanted their ASS to be bigger so they can feel more comfortable sitting down with a new computer! And finally, somebody wanted a fin attached to their back so they can swim to a new West Potter Sailboat! He bids $29,500, and he's over. For the lady, we have a bedroom, golf clubs and a golf cart, and she bids $18,795. ARP for her: $17,440, so we have a Double Overbid.

Triple: Something that has a face. Baker says human, but believe it or not, it's #2 (33). Danielle says animal....#3 (16), so the champs will try to force Sudden Death. Jason says clocks....NUMBER ONE (44)! If they win this round, it's playoff time. Rebecca thinks #4 is a coin....nope. Mike says dollar bills...that type of money is also a dud. Boo says dreams....all together at home- BOO!!!!! Jason will try to give the Millers the championship with radio....time to boo him, because we're going to Sudden Death! #4 was mask (2).

2/26/2007 Results
TPIR: Starting the day is Luigi Trevezano. Mama Mia! He's playing Step Up for up to $3,000 cash, plus a computer, dinnerware, a banjo and a wine cabinet. He picks the dinnerware first, and it's $771. He picks the computer, which is $2,178, so he has those prizes and $500 at this moment. But he stops. Good thing- the banjo was $1,805, and the wine cabinet is $1,320.
Kristin King, who is said to be the "Female Warrior" at her place, is next. She plays for the big money in Plinko! First small prize is a frother, and the wrong price is $48. She picks the 8....$28!

Barbara Paleo is third to play Lucky Seven for a Ford Mustang Convertible (Std., ALB, Interior,
Prot). First number is 2. For her second number guess, she picks 2, but it's 6, so she loses $4.
For her third number guess, she picks 7....but it's 3 and she's broke. The ARP was $26,351.
SSD1: Paleo goes home with parting gifts after going over. Luigi spins 55....and 15 for 70 cents.
Kristin spins a dime....and a quarter, so Luigi is in the Showcase!
Michael Hernandez is fourth to play Switch? for a pool table marked at $2,370 and a cabinet marked at $3,385. He switches....and wins!
Jerry Condra then plays Dice Game for a Chevy Aveo (Std., AT, ALB, Heater). First number is 1. Condra loves this game. She rolls a 5 for the second number, which is right! For the third number, she rolls a 4, which is not it. She says lower, which is right! It's 3. For the fourth number, she rolls a 5, which is not it, but she says lower and is one away! That's 1. On the last number, she rolls a 5....and she wins the $15,315 car!
Faride Gonzalez is last to play for a jukebox worth $7,000. Game is Now or Then, and the Then period is March 1997. Products: cat food, Poli Grip, shampoo, Aspercreme, Colgate toothpaste and sleep aid. Her first pick is the toothpaste, marked at $3.39, and she says Now, but it's Then.
Second pick is the cat food marked at $6.99, and she says Then....Now. She must get the Poli Grip, shampoo and the Aspercreme right to win. For the Poli Grip, the price is $4.89, and she says Then....WIPEOUT.
SSD2: Gonzalez spins 50....and 55 to go home. Hernandez spins the dollar for $1,000! Condra can't tie, so she goes home. The man doesn't win any more money, but does go to the Showcase.
First Showcase features the female pirate unloading some booty off her ship. We have a soda fountain, a basketball arcade game and a pair of motorcycles. Luigi gets this and bids $12,500, a bid I hate. For Hernandez, we have a living room, a security system and a trip to Rio. He bids $16,415, and I think he's won.
ARP for Luigi: $25,093, a difference of $12,593. ARP for Hernandez....
....$15,787. Mama Mia- Luigi wins and takes home $31,041 in cash and prizes!

Jeopardy!: Marc Spraragen and Chuck Newell challenge current champ Sri Narayanan, who is $60,000 richer at this point. At the first break, Spraragen has $4,800, while Newell has half as much.
Spraragen gets the last two clues in Drugstore to build on his lead heading into the final category of Round 1, This Means War!. The Daily Double is hidden somewhere under there. Newell gets the $400 clue to find the Daily Double under the $600 clue, and he has $4,000. He can't lead after this, because Spraragen has $8,400. He bets $2,000:
The French Revolution inspired a similar one in this Carribean country in 1791.
"What is Haiti?"....he now has $6,000! Spraragen still leads after the first round with $8,200.
The champ has $2,600.
The champ sweeps An "Arm" or a "Leg" to get the lead with $8,600, just like that!
But Newell finds the first Daily Double under Best Pictures In Other Words (the Oscars were yesterday), and with $7,200, he bets $2,300 for the lead:
1945: "Saturday and Sunday Gone Astray"
"What is Lost Weekend?"....new leader at $9,500! It is a tight match between all of the players. At one point, $100 seperated the players, as all three were at least up to $11,000. Spraragen finds the other Daily Double in the last category of the round, Opera. After being given $4,000 back from a reverse ruling on a response he made in Round 1, he now has $15,400 and the lead. He bets two grand:
The Franco-Prussian War delayed this Verdi Opera's premiere; scenery couldn't leave beseiged Paris for Cairo.
"What is Aieta?"....RIGHT, just as the round ends. He has $17,400. The champ has 13 large and the man in the middle has $12,700.
FJ! category: Americana.
In a February 22, 1936 reenactment, retired star pitcher Walter Johnson threw this across the Rappahannock.
Newell says my guess, "What is a baseball?"....but it's wrong. He falls to $7,900. The champ has "What is a cannonball?".....NO, and he loses $12,800, meaning at $200, he's done. Spraragen has that too. Correct: What is a silver dollar? But he still wins $8,799 today, and the champ leaves with $61,000.
DOND: Ishmael Brown is going for really big money sometime during this show. More on that later.
In the meantime:
Round 3: His first pick is #1....$25,000. Second pick is #19....$400. Third pick is #25....$10!
Final pick is #8....$100! Great round. New offer: $55,000. NO DEAL. At this point, $400,000, $500,000 and $750,000 are still in play.
Round 4: #3 is his first pick....PENNY!! Second pick is #22....$750. Final pick is #17....$5,000. Another good round. Next offer he rejects: $103,000, which was sung by the big choir Brown brought!
Round 5: Brown picks #4 first.....$75! Other pick is #23....$1! Howie and Ishmael take a lap around the studio afterwards! Next offer he tosses away: $188,000. One case mode now.
Brown's next choice is #16....$500,000. Next offer he throws away: $157,000.
He then chooses #12......$500! New offer, as mentioned in the promo for this show: $261,000. But will he blow a lot of money just like Raul Torres did on "1 vs. 100", or will he wise up?
He says....
...NO DEAL! Will history repeat itself?
His next choice is #20....
...$750,000 is out, so he's playing for $400,000 now. Offer is $92,000....
...DEAL, and he hit the button THREE times! That's gotta be a record. Had he gone on, he would have taken out $10,000, and would have been left with an offer of $182,000, with the $5 and the $400,000. He had....
...just $5, so he made a good, but not great, deal.
Next is Wayne Ramos from New Jersey. His case is #2.
Round 1: Opening pick is #3.....$200. Second is #13....$5,000. Third pick is #14.....$500,000.
Fourth pick is #21....MILLION IS OUT. Fifth pick is #10.....PENNY! Last pick is #23....
$5! First offer he tosses out the door: $13,000. Joe Torre makes a cameo appearance via satelite!
Round 2: #7 for Mickey Mantle is first....$25,000. Second pick is #17....$750. Third pick is #26.....$10! Fourth pick is #1....$50! Final pick is #19....$100! Next offer he throws out: $40,000.
Round 3: #15 is first.....$500. Second pick is #6....$1,000. Third pick is #8....$200,000. Final pick is #25....$50,000. Next offer he rejects: $81,000. Joe Torre, regardless of what happens to the Ramos family, is inviting them to a Yankees game next season! He will be back on Wednesday.
Kristin King, who is said to be the "Female Warrior" at her place, is next. She plays for the big money in Plinko! First small prize is a frother, and the wrong price is $48. She picks the 8....$28!

...I know this now. But he gets the Bankrupt again. The lady in the middle calls two C's for $600, an L for $800, and solves ELECTRONICS SUPERSTORE for $2,600 and $7,450 total.
Speed-Up Round category is Living Thing, and consonants are worth $1,700 apiece. After the winner of the last round calls the N, we have...
_ T _ N _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
...and she says STANDARD POODLE- by golly, she got it! But with $9,150, it's not enough, as Brown is our champion with $12,178.
Cars this week are a Ford Escape and a Mini Cooper. Both are pretty cheap, so getting the money looks like the best way to go. She spins the second zero. Category is Things. Starting with:
_ _ _
_ N _
_ _ S T
Brown calls D, M, P and I and gets...
_ _ _
_ N D
M I S T
I had no clue, but she does with FOG AND MIST for $25,000 and a total of $37,178!
Jeopardy!: Marc Spraragen and Chuck Newell challenge current champ Sri Narayanan, who is $60,000 richer at this point. At the first break, Spraragen has $4,800, while Newell has half as much.
Spraragen gets the last two clues in Drugstore to build on his lead heading into the final category of Round 1, This Means War!. The Daily Double is hidden somewhere under there. Newell gets the $400 clue to find the Daily Double under the $600 clue, and he has $4,000. He can't lead after this, because Spraragen has $8,400. He bets $2,000:
The French Revolution inspired a similar one in this Carribean country in 1791.
"What is Haiti?"....he now has $6,000! Spraragen still leads after the first round with $8,200.
The champ has $2,600.
The champ sweeps An "Arm" or a "Leg" to get the lead with $8,600, just like that!
But Newell finds the first Daily Double under Best Pictures In Other Words (the Oscars were yesterday), and with $7,200, he bets $2,300 for the lead:
1945: "Saturday and Sunday Gone Astray"
"What is Lost Weekend?"....new leader at $9,500! It is a tight match between all of the players. At one point, $100 seperated the players, as all three were at least up to $11,000. Spraragen finds the other Daily Double in the last category of the round, Opera. After being given $4,000 back from a reverse ruling on a response he made in Round 1, he now has $15,400 and the lead. He bets two grand:
The Franco-Prussian War delayed this Verdi Opera's premiere; scenery couldn't leave beseiged Paris for Cairo.
"What is Aieta?"....RIGHT, just as the round ends. He has $17,400. The champ has 13 large and the man in the middle has $12,700.
FJ! category: Americana.
In a February 22, 1936 reenactment, retired star pitcher Walter Johnson threw this across the Rappahannock.
Newell says my guess, "What is a baseball?"....but it's wrong. He falls to $7,900. The champ has "What is a cannonball?".....NO, and he loses $12,800, meaning at $200, he's done. Spraragen has that too. Correct: What is a silver dollar? But he still wins $8,799 today, and the champ leaves with $61,000.
DOND: Ishmael Brown is going for really big money sometime during this show. More on that later.
In the meantime:
Round 3: His first pick is #1....$25,000. Second pick is #19....$400. Third pick is #25....$10!
Final pick is #8....$100! Great round. New offer: $55,000. NO DEAL. At this point, $400,000, $500,000 and $750,000 are still in play.
Round 4: #3 is his first pick....PENNY!! Second pick is #22....$750. Final pick is #17....$5,000. Another good round. Next offer he rejects: $103,000, which was sung by the big choir Brown brought!
Round 5: Brown picks #4 first.....$75! Other pick is #23....$1! Howie and Ishmael take a lap around the studio afterwards! Next offer he tosses away: $188,000. One case mode now.
Brown's next choice is #16....$500,000. Next offer he throws away: $157,000.
He then chooses #12......$500! New offer, as mentioned in the promo for this show: $261,000. But will he blow a lot of money just like Raul Torres did on "1 vs. 100", or will he wise up?
He says....
...NO DEAL! Will history repeat itself?
His next choice is #20....
...$750,000 is out, so he's playing for $400,000 now. Offer is $92,000....
...DEAL, and he hit the button THREE times! That's gotta be a record. Had he gone on, he would have taken out $10,000, and would have been left with an offer of $182,000, with the $5 and the $400,000. He had....
...just $5, so he made a good, but not great, deal.
Next is Wayne Ramos from New Jersey. His case is #2.
Round 1: Opening pick is #3.....$200. Second is #13....$5,000. Third pick is #14.....$500,000.
Fourth pick is #21....MILLION IS OUT. Fifth pick is #10.....PENNY! Last pick is #23....
$5! First offer he tosses out the door: $13,000. Joe Torre makes a cameo appearance via satelite!
Round 2: #7 for Mickey Mantle is first....$25,000. Second pick is #17....$750. Third pick is #26.....$10! Fourth pick is #1....$50! Final pick is #19....$100! Next offer he throws out: $40,000.
Round 3: #15 is first.....$500. Second pick is #6....$1,000. Third pick is #8....$200,000. Final pick is #25....$50,000. Next offer he rejects: $81,000. Joe Torre, regardless of what happens to the Ramos family, is inviting them to a Yankees game next season! He will be back on Wednesday.

RECAP: Amazing Race All Stars Show 2
After the first show, Drew had to receive medical help because of having signs of altitude sickness.
Clue #1: Teams must travel close to 2,500 miles by plan to Santiago, Chile. Once they get there, they must travel 12 miles by taxi to the Codelco Building. The next clue is waiting inside.
Kevin and Drew have more problems early on in this stage. They get their car stuck in the mud. With Kevin's power, they pulled the car out of there, but Kevin isn't happy with Drew.
Thanks to their flight being delayed, it looks like Rob and Amber lost their lead. To make matters worse, it looks like they are in last place.
When the teams arrive in Chile, Eric and Danielle have the lead. The Agus are second.
Roadblock: For our first roadblock of the season, one member of the team will have to search the suits the people are wearing and the boardroom table itself to find letters of the alphabet.
The person needs to realize that these letters can be unscrambled to form the name of one of the landmarks, whose picture is among ten pictures of landmarks. When the person thinks he/she has solved the puzzle, that person must write down the answer on a piece of paper. If right, the security guard in the room will give them their next clue. At this point, the Agus now lead.
Dustin and Kandace are the first ones to solve the puzzle, which is Chuqicamata.
Clue #3: Teams must travel to the location they just solved in the last challenge by plane, which takes them over 200 miles.
The Agus really struggled with the last puzzle, and are now in ninth place. Rob and Amber, thanks to what I think was cutting in a line at the airport, is back in the lead, heading into....
Detour: Choices are By Hand or By Machine.
By Hand: Teams must choose one of two big wheels on one of the bulldozers and put together all of the nuts and bolts for that wheel. When successful, they will receive their next clue.
By Machine: One team member must operate a bulldozer and cover a certain spot with enough dust so that it will pass the yellow line. Once that is done, the team will receive their next clue.
Rob and Amber are one of the teams operating the bulldozers. Charla and Mirna do the big wheel task, but one of the midgets has problems reaching parts of the wheel because she's small. Most of the teams do the big wheel task. They get into a shouting match because one doesn't know there's a stepstool nearby. This could be trouble. After Rob and Amber finish their task first, we enounter this:
PIT STOP: Teams must choose a marked car and drive down the Valley of the Moon. During this time, road conditions permit drivers to go no more than 40 km per hour. Once they finish that path, they can go as much as 50 km per hour, and must find the Valley of the Dead, the Pit Stop location for this leg of the race, where the first place team wins a prize, and the last place team WILL BE ELIMINATED.
After their Detours, Oswald and Danny are second, and the Agus are third. Struggling on the wheel task are Kevin and Drew and the midgets. Kevin and Drew get theirs done before the midgets; the teams are 7th and 8th, respectively.
While driving down the path to the Pit Stop, the midgets and Dustin and Kandace encounter a man looking for world peace. He is asking both teams to give him $100 before they can move on. Charla and Mirna are very frustrated with the man, resulting in them falling to last place.
Rob and Amber are first again, winning this time a motorcycle for each of them. Oswald and Danny retain their second place spot.
After passing the Valley of the Moon, the Agus go right on the intersection, which does NOT lead to the Pit Stop. Eric and Danielle take the right way, but their car breaks down.
Joe and Bill are #3, Eric and Danielle are #4, and the Agus are #5.
A few teams, desperate to stay in the race, complain that other teams are going over the speed limit in the heat of the moment. Those teams include Kevin and Drew and the midgets.
Sixth: Dustin and Kandace.
Seventh: Terri and Ian.
Eighth: Charla and Mirna.
Ninth: The Conleys.
DEAD LAST: Kevin and Drew. They gave it all they had despite Drew's personal setbacks, but it's all over for them. Drew is not happy about the result.

MVP and Big Winners Announcement for February 19-25
MVP: Jeff Jones ("WWTBAM")
This movie fan can now be put up there among the best contestants the show has ever had, much less the most enthusiastic! He won $250,000 while becoming just the second contestant on this version of the show to last three shows. Given the coverage on my main rival, TVGameshows.net, expect an interview with him on there very soon. I think he's the best game show contestant I've seen this season.
Other Big Winners and Notables:
Pyion Kong- $211,000 ("Deal or No Deal")
The three "Nashville Star" finalists
Steve Fishman- $100,000 ("Millionaire")
Dimitra Apostolopoulos- $95,000 ("DOND")
Devon Grover- $91,366 ("TPIR")

2/23/2007 Results
TPIR: Leslie Velasco is first to play Shopping Spree for snowboarding equipment, a bar set, picnic baskets and a hutch. She must pick the three prizes that combine for a total of $6,000 at least to win. She picks the snowboarding quipment, which is $2,494. Her second choice is the bar set, after originally considering the picnic baskets.....$2,396, so she must pick the prize that is at least $1,110 to win all the prizes. The final pick is the hutch, and it's $1,288 to win! The picnic baskets were $460.
Dorothy Myrick then goes for $10,000 in Grand Game. Target is $8, and the products are Gold Bond lotion, cat litter, Ziploc bags, sleeping aid, a scrub brush and supplement. Her first pick is the Ziploc bags, which are $2.79. Next is the brush, which is $4.89. Third pick is the snoring aid, which is $2.99, so she's at $1,000! I thought she said the litter, but she says the lotion....
...it's $9.95 and she loses. The litter was $6.79.
Bruce Lucley, who calls Bob a living legend, goes for a Chevy Impala (Std., ALB, Mats, PProt) in Pathfinder. Given the 2007 Impala has been lost only once this season, we may have a win today. Board:
53820
71165
36201
49253
08719
First number is 2. For the second number, we have 0, 1, 2 and 6 as choices. He picks the 0 but is wrong. He uses the slow cooker, which is either $10 or $12. He picks $12 and is right. His next second number guess is 1, but is wrong again. Unfortunately, he doesn't get either of the remaining small prizes right, so the game ends and he only wins the slow cooker. The price of the car was $22,719. But he does get to the Showcase.
Benjamin Gibbs then plays Race Game for a popcorn cart, a buffet server, lawn equipment and a BBQ grill. Prices are $750, $1,419, $2,030 and $2,535. He puts $2,535 on the lawn equipment, $2,030 on the grill, $1,419 on the popcorn cart and $750 on the buffet station....two right, and I think I know which ones he should switch. He switches the first two prizes....none right. He then changes them back and switches the other two to win!
Kimberly Scales then plays Money Game for a Chevy Aveo (Std., AT, ALB). Middle number is 2, and the numbers are 40, 35, 15, 90, 16, 17, 85, 70 and 65. She picks 17, which is worth $17. She picks 35, which is worth $35 more. She then picks 16 for $16 before finally picking 15 as the first two digits ($ 1 5, 2 _ _). She picks 85, but that's worth $85 for a total of $153. It was $15,265.
Melissa Hughes is last to play Coming or Going for a bed. If she's coming, the price is $8,985. If she's going, the price is $5,898. She goes and wins! But the Race Game man is in the Showcase.
First Showcase has some models looking for stuff in a cave. They find a cappichino machine, a range and a Prowler trailer. Gibbs bids $19,500, which sounds like a good bid to me. Mr. Lucley gets to see pies. First, there's a pie in an arithmatic formula, which you may never have to do by hand if you use a new computer system. Second, we have pizza pies that you could taste in Italy! And finally, you might eat humble pie if you don't win a pair of motorcycles. He bids $17,500.
ARP for Lucley: $23,382, a difference of $5,882. ARP for Gibbs....
...$20,849, meaning he wins and takes home $28,452 in prizes!
WWTBAM: Our possible last contestant this week is Carrie Specht, who could win $100,000 or $250,000 in one show if she's lucky. She is from Los Angeles. For $16,000:
Because he grew up there, Alexander Payne has set three of his feature films in and around what U.S. city?
A: Tulsa
B: Witchita
C: Des Moines
D: Omaha
Specht calls the audience, and we've got nasty numbers- 28% said C, 27% each said B and D, and 18% said A. She uses the 50:50, leaving the 27% said answers. She says Omaha....and is right!
She gets to $25,000 before seeing this for $50,000:
Which of the following is NOT one of the famous "Road" movies starring the legendary comedy team of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby?
A: "Road to Zanibar"
B: "Road to Timbuktu"
C: "Road to Utopia"
D: "Road to Singapore"
Specht's watched a lot of Bob Hope stuff, and is pretty sure about B not being one of the said movies....it's not for $50,000! For $100,000, after switching:
The 2004 movie "Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" takes its title from a poem by whom?
A: Alexander Pope
B: John Donne
C: Matthew Arnold
D: William Wordsworth
She calls Carol, her friend, who is of no help. This is the last question she takes, and she takes a guess. For $100,000, she says C.....
...NO. It's A. But she does go home with $25,000. This week definitely lived up to the hype from the last one!
Family Feud: The Boxes, $20,000 richer than they were before, defend for the first time against the Silvas. The Boxes score the first 76 points on people that might sit with you just before you eat. The Silvas fire back, but only with 28, on countries with the most attractive models (America was #1).
Double: A thing you know about Dumbo. Starting with:
#1- Big ears (48, Boo)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The champs play. Baker says the friend is a mouse...bottom (3). Jason says he's an elephant....#3 (18)! Rebecca says he can fly....#2 (25)! Mike says he's in the circus....TOTAL CLEAN SWEEP to send them to 274!
Triple: Name something that happens at the end of an argument between any couple. Lu says they don't sleep together that night....bottom (8). Baker says the women win...NO, so the Silvas play. Isaac says the man says sorry....NUMBER ONE (58)! George says they stop talking to each other....#3 (10)! #2 could win them the game. Egla says no food for them....NO. Steve says take her to Disneyland (?!?!?)....THAT'S FOR SUPER BOWL WINNERS, ONLY, IDIOT. Back to Lu, who says have a nice dinner....NO, so it's steal time. Rebecca says they leave. If it's there, they win; otherwise, we go to a playoff. It's....
...there for the game at 502!
Boo and Rebecca get 133 on their second trip to Fast Money, giving the clan $20,665 for two games.
WOF: On the show's last night from Charleston, our players tonight are Willis Rebel III (in the yellow), Keisha Walker and Courtney Owens. The man in the middle gets both Toss-Ups for $3,000, and starts Round 1. Category is Person, and on the wheel now starting this round is an Alaskan Cruise worth $7,000. He gets the Wild Card right off the bat. After Walker calls six A's, we have...
_ _ A N _
_ A _ S H A L
_ _
A
_ A _ A _ _
I know this. She calls the M, then three R's for $7,500, then two D's for $1,800 more, and solves GRAND MARSHAL OF A PARADE for $10,050!
Jackpot Round category is Same Name. After Owens calls the N's, we have...
D I N N E R
&
_ A _ _ I _ N
_ _ A T E
I don't know the middle word. She calls the O, the L and the P. She calls the M, but there are none of that. The man calls the S for $500, then picks up the Free Spin by calling the H, and solves DINNER & FASHION PLATE for $1,000 and $4,000 total.
Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Place. A car was won here yesterday- will it happen again? After Owens, who has yet to get on the board, calls the A's and E's (three of each appear),
we have...
S _ E _ _ A _ _ _ A R
_ _ R A _
R E E _
I know this now, and the trip will involve it. She calls an F, three C's for $1,650, but the I call is a dud. The man gets two L's for $600, but loses that money and the Wild Card to a Bankrupt, and has to use the Free Spin, but he gets a Bankrupt again. Walker calls the T for $300, and lands on a Mystery Wedge. She calls one P and flips....Bankrupt. Owens finally solves SPECTACULAR CORAL REEF for $2,100, a gift tag and a trip to the Virgin Islands! She's on the board with $11,002 and the lead!
Walker takes the lead back with KITCHEN PANTRY, going to $13,050. Speed-Up Round category is Phrase, and consonants are worth $3,200. After Owens calls the H's, we have...
_ H _ _ _
T H _
H _ _ _ T
_ _
I think I know this already...but she doesn't. The man calls two R's, but can't solve. Walker calls four E's, and solves WHERE THE HEART IS for the match with $16,250!
She spins the W. Category is Things. Starting with:
_ _ R E _ _ N
_ _ R _ S
I think it's something CARDS, but I'm not sure. Walker calls M, P, C, and A, but gets nothing. She doesn't solve FOREIGN WORDS. Even more bad news- she loses the $100,000 too. At least she picked the best possible way to lose it on.
Jeopardy!: For the fifth time in seven regular weeks, it comes down to the Friday show. We have not had a champion successfuly defend their title, despite a lot of money being won this week. That would be a shame if that happened, but let's hope not. Sri Narayanan, with $30,000 to his name, defends against Dorothy Cassetta and Jim Sherman. Sherman finds the Daily Double early on in U.S. Cities and gets it right to go to $2,200. The champ leads him by $200, $3,600 to $3,400, heading into the first break.
But Sherman gets on a bit of a roll later on, leading after the first round with $9,400. The champ has five grand and Cassetta has $2,600.
Double Jeopardy! had a category called Historical "Law & Order" Pleas. That's right- all of the clues will be given by stars of all of the "Law & Order" series, past and present. Sherman builds on his lead, and Cassetta gets in the game. The champ doesn't do much, and Sherman finds the first Daily Double in Tough Science with $18,600. He bets two large:
The first director of the radiation lab at Berkley, his name will live forevermore on an element.
"Who is Fermi?"....Lawrence. Still has the lead, though. With only a few clues left, the champ finds the other Daily Double in It's Complicated. After a reverse ruling sends Sherman back to $14,200, the champ currently has $8,200. The lady in the middle has $11,400. The champ bets $7,000:
12-letter adjective that means "resembling a mythical Greek maze".
"What is labyrinith?".....
...RIGHT, AND HE HAS THE LEAD WITH $15,200! After the round ends, he had $15,600. Sherman has $14,200, and the lady has $11,400.
FJ! category: Literature.
This 1877 novel was written, "To induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment of horses".
The lady writes, "What is Black Beauty?"....right for another $1,400, and she has $12,800. Sherman has "What is Jayme, Isabel Lillian"....WTF? But he lost nothing.
The champ has....
...THE RIGHT RESPONSE, AND FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW WINS $30,000!! Total: $60,000! And he's back Monday!
1 vs. 100: Starting tonight is Joanna Nguey. In the mob this game- members of the Three 6 Mafia, seven Playboy Playmates, Perez Hilton (a celebrity blogger), Allison Dubois (the one who inspired the show "Medium") and Dr. Ruth Westheimer!
23 missed the first question she got right, giving her $23,000. Among the notables eliminated: Dr. Ruth and DJ Paul of the Three 6 Mafia. Second question:
On the Galapagos Islands, you spot a nice pair of boobies. What are you looking at?
A: Tropical Melons
B: Giant Birds
C: Aquatic Birds
She says B....BUT IT'S C!!! The quickest loss ever to the Mob! 52 mob members will get about $442.30 each.
Herman Wilkens is next. Dr. Ruth, Three 6 Mafia and Allison Dubois are brought back, because they're playing for charity.
He knocks out 4 people on question one for $4,000. Twice as much missed question two, tripling Wilkens's winning to $12,000. Juicy J of the Mafia wa eliminated that question. On the third question, he knocked out 26, including Dr. Ruth, to go to $38,000.
He got the first $2,000 question right, and eliminated 11 to go to $60,000. Perez Hilton and the other half of the Mafia were among the ones eliminated. On the other $2,000 question he got right, he knocked out 21 to go to $102,000! 30 mob members now stand between him and $1,000,000.
$3,000 question:
What punctuation mark would indicate that a "smiley" emoticon is winking?
A: Ampersand
B: Semicolon
C: Colon
After thinking, he says B....right! 5 missed it for $15,000, giving him $117,000! Allison Dubois was among the ones eliminated.
$4,000 question:
You're crossing the street while a "Don't Walk" symbol flashes at you. Where is the thumb on that sign?
A: On the right
B: On the left
C: Not visible
He says he does a lot of walking, and is confident it's B.....but it's A!! That means 13 will each get $9,000.
Bruce Seville is our last player. He won $78,000, despite his game being rather quick.
Dorothy Myrick then goes for $10,000 in Grand Game. Target is $8, and the products are Gold Bond lotion, cat litter, Ziploc bags, sleeping aid, a scrub brush and supplement. Her first pick is the Ziploc bags, which are $2.79. Next is the brush, which is $4.89. Third pick is the snoring aid, which is $2.99, so she's at $1,000! I thought she said the litter, but she says the lotion....
...it's $9.95 and she loses. The litter was $6.79.
Bruce Lucley, who calls Bob a living legend, goes for a Chevy Impala (Std., ALB, Mats, PProt) in Pathfinder. Given the 2007 Impala has been lost only once this season, we may have a win today. Board:
53820
71165
36201
49253
08719
First number is 2. For the second number, we have 0, 1, 2 and 6 as choices. He picks the 0 but is wrong. He uses the slow cooker, which is either $10 or $12. He picks $12 and is right. His next second number guess is 1, but is wrong again. Unfortunately, he doesn't get either of the remaining small prizes right, so the game ends and he only wins the slow cooker. The price of the car was $22,719. But he does get to the Showcase.
Benjamin Gibbs then plays Race Game for a popcorn cart, a buffet server, lawn equipment and a BBQ grill. Prices are $750, $1,419, $2,030 and $2,535. He puts $2,535 on the lawn equipment, $2,030 on the grill, $1,419 on the popcorn cart and $750 on the buffet station....two right, and I think I know which ones he should switch. He switches the first two prizes....none right. He then changes them back and switches the other two to win!
Kimberly Scales then plays Money Game for a Chevy Aveo (Std., AT, ALB). Middle number is 2, and the numbers are 40, 35, 15, 90, 16, 17, 85, 70 and 65. She picks 17, which is worth $17. She picks 35, which is worth $35 more. She then picks 16 for $16 before finally picking 15 as the first two digits ($ 1 5, 2 _ _). She picks 85, but that's worth $85 for a total of $153. It was $15,265.
Melissa Hughes is last to play Coming or Going for a bed. If she's coming, the price is $8,985. If she's going, the price is $5,898. She goes and wins! But the Race Game man is in the Showcase.
First Showcase has some models looking for stuff in a cave. They find a cappichino machine, a range and a Prowler trailer. Gibbs bids $19,500, which sounds like a good bid to me. Mr. Lucley gets to see pies. First, there's a pie in an arithmatic formula, which you may never have to do by hand if you use a new computer system. Second, we have pizza pies that you could taste in Italy! And finally, you might eat humble pie if you don't win a pair of motorcycles. He bids $17,500.
ARP for Lucley: $23,382, a difference of $5,882. ARP for Gibbs....
...$20,849, meaning he wins and takes home $28,452 in prizes!
WWTBAM: Our possible last contestant this week is Carrie Specht, who could win $100,000 or $250,000 in one show if she's lucky. She is from Los Angeles. For $16,000:
Because he grew up there, Alexander Payne has set three of his feature films in and around what U.S. city?
A: Tulsa
B: Witchita
C: Des Moines
D: Omaha
Specht calls the audience, and we've got nasty numbers- 28% said C, 27% each said B and D, and 18% said A. She uses the 50:50, leaving the 27% said answers. She says Omaha....and is right!
She gets to $25,000 before seeing this for $50,000:
Which of the following is NOT one of the famous "Road" movies starring the legendary comedy team of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby?
A: "Road to Zanibar"
B: "Road to Timbuktu"
C: "Road to Utopia"
D: "Road to Singapore"
Specht's watched a lot of Bob Hope stuff, and is pretty sure about B not being one of the said movies....it's not for $50,000! For $100,000, after switching:
The 2004 movie "Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" takes its title from a poem by whom?
A: Alexander Pope
B: John Donne
C: Matthew Arnold
D: William Wordsworth
She calls Carol, her friend, who is of no help. This is the last question she takes, and she takes a guess. For $100,000, she says C.....
...NO. It's A. But she does go home with $25,000. This week definitely lived up to the hype from the last one!
Family Feud: The Boxes, $20,000 richer than they were before, defend for the first time against the Silvas. The Boxes score the first 76 points on people that might sit with you just before you eat. The Silvas fire back, but only with 28, on countries with the most attractive models (America was #1).
Double: A thing you know about Dumbo. Starting with:
#1- Big ears (48, Boo)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The champs play. Baker says the friend is a mouse...bottom (3). Jason says he's an elephant....#3 (18)! Rebecca says he can fly....#2 (25)! Mike says he's in the circus....TOTAL CLEAN SWEEP to send them to 274!
Triple: Name something that happens at the end of an argument between any couple. Lu says they don't sleep together that night....bottom (8). Baker says the women win...NO, so the Silvas play. Isaac says the man says sorry....NUMBER ONE (58)! George says they stop talking to each other....#3 (10)! #2 could win them the game. Egla says no food for them....NO. Steve says take her to Disneyland (?!?!?)....THAT'S FOR SUPER BOWL WINNERS, ONLY, IDIOT. Back to Lu, who says have a nice dinner....NO, so it's steal time. Rebecca says they leave. If it's there, they win; otherwise, we go to a playoff. It's....
...there for the game at 502!
Boo and Rebecca get 133 on their second trip to Fast Money, giving the clan $20,665 for two games.
WOF: On the show's last night from Charleston, our players tonight are Willis Rebel III (in the yellow), Keisha Walker and Courtney Owens. The man in the middle gets both Toss-Ups for $3,000, and starts Round 1. Category is Person, and on the wheel now starting this round is an Alaskan Cruise worth $7,000. He gets the Wild Card right off the bat. After Walker calls six A's, we have...
_ _ A N _
_ A _ S H A L
_ _
A
_ A _ A _ _
I know this. She calls the M, then three R's for $7,500, then two D's for $1,800 more, and solves GRAND MARSHAL OF A PARADE for $10,050!
Jackpot Round category is Same Name. After Owens calls the N's, we have...
D I N N E R
&
_ A _ _ I _ N
_ _ A T E
I don't know the middle word. She calls the O, the L and the P. She calls the M, but there are none of that. The man calls the S for $500, then picks up the Free Spin by calling the H, and solves DINNER & FASHION PLATE for $1,000 and $4,000 total.
Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Place. A car was won here yesterday- will it happen again? After Owens, who has yet to get on the board, calls the A's and E's (three of each appear),
we have...
S _ E _ _ A _ _ _ A R
_ _ R A _
R E E _
I know this now, and the trip will involve it. She calls an F, three C's for $1,650, but the I call is a dud. The man gets two L's for $600, but loses that money and the Wild Card to a Bankrupt, and has to use the Free Spin, but he gets a Bankrupt again. Walker calls the T for $300, and lands on a Mystery Wedge. She calls one P and flips....Bankrupt. Owens finally solves SPECTACULAR CORAL REEF for $2,100, a gift tag and a trip to the Virgin Islands! She's on the board with $11,002 and the lead!
Walker takes the lead back with KITCHEN PANTRY, going to $13,050. Speed-Up Round category is Phrase, and consonants are worth $3,200. After Owens calls the H's, we have...
_ H _ _ _
T H _
H _ _ _ T
_ _
I think I know this already...but she doesn't. The man calls two R's, but can't solve. Walker calls four E's, and solves WHERE THE HEART IS for the match with $16,250!
She spins the W. Category is Things. Starting with:
_ _ R E _ _ N
_ _ R _ S
I think it's something CARDS, but I'm not sure. Walker calls M, P, C, and A, but gets nothing. She doesn't solve FOREIGN WORDS. Even more bad news- she loses the $100,000 too. At least she picked the best possible way to lose it on.
Jeopardy!: For the fifth time in seven regular weeks, it comes down to the Friday show. We have not had a champion successfuly defend their title, despite a lot of money being won this week. That would be a shame if that happened, but let's hope not. Sri Narayanan, with $30,000 to his name, defends against Dorothy Cassetta and Jim Sherman. Sherman finds the Daily Double early on in U.S. Cities and gets it right to go to $2,200. The champ leads him by $200, $3,600 to $3,400, heading into the first break.
But Sherman gets on a bit of a roll later on, leading after the first round with $9,400. The champ has five grand and Cassetta has $2,600.
Double Jeopardy! had a category called Historical "Law & Order" Pleas. That's right- all of the clues will be given by stars of all of the "Law & Order" series, past and present. Sherman builds on his lead, and Cassetta gets in the game. The champ doesn't do much, and Sherman finds the first Daily Double in Tough Science with $18,600. He bets two large:
The first director of the radiation lab at Berkley, his name will live forevermore on an element.
"Who is Fermi?"....Lawrence. Still has the lead, though. With only a few clues left, the champ finds the other Daily Double in It's Complicated. After a reverse ruling sends Sherman back to $14,200, the champ currently has $8,200. The lady in the middle has $11,400. The champ bets $7,000:
12-letter adjective that means "resembling a mythical Greek maze".
"What is labyrinith?".....
...RIGHT, AND HE HAS THE LEAD WITH $15,200! After the round ends, he had $15,600. Sherman has $14,200, and the lady has $11,400.
FJ! category: Literature.
This 1877 novel was written, "To induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment of horses".
The lady writes, "What is Black Beauty?"....right for another $1,400, and she has $12,800. Sherman has "What is Jayme, Isabel Lillian"....WTF? But he lost nothing.
The champ has....
...THE RIGHT RESPONSE, AND FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW WINS $30,000!! Total: $60,000! And he's back Monday!
1 vs. 100: Starting tonight is Joanna Nguey. In the mob this game- members of the Three 6 Mafia, seven Playboy Playmates, Perez Hilton (a celebrity blogger), Allison Dubois (the one who inspired the show "Medium") and Dr. Ruth Westheimer!

A: Tropical Melons
B: Giant Birds
C: Aquatic Birds
She says B....BUT IT'S C!!! The quickest loss ever to the Mob! 52 mob members will get about $442.30 each.
Herman Wilkens is next. Dr. Ruth, Three 6 Mafia and Allison Dubois are brought back, because they're playing for charity.
He knocks out 4 people on question one for $4,000. Twice as much missed question two, tripling Wilkens's winning to $12,000. Juicy J of the Mafia wa eliminated that question. On the third question, he knocked out 26, including Dr. Ruth, to go to $38,000.

$3,000 question:
What punctuation mark would indicate that a "smiley" emoticon is winking?
A: Ampersand
B: Semicolon
C: Colon
After thinking, he says B....right! 5 missed it for $15,000, giving him $117,000! Allison Dubois was among the ones eliminated.
$4,000 question:
You're crossing the street while a "Don't Walk" symbol flashes at you. Where is the thumb on that sign?
A: On the right
B: On the left
C: Not visible
He says he does a lot of walking, and is confident it's B.....but it's A!! That means 13 will each get $9,000.
Bruce Seville is our last player. He won $78,000, despite his game being rather quick.
RECAP: Survivor Fiji Week 3
Reward Challenge: Before this challenge ever starts, we learn that Ravu started their own fire, which is a rarity for any tribe in this game! As for this challenge, it will be a head-to-head challenge. One person from each tribe will run and slide down a path and retrieve one of the numbered calls assigned by host Jeff Probst. When the players get their balls, they must shoot it into their tribe's basket. The first person to do this scores a point for their team; six points wins the game. There's a choice of rewards today- fruit, fishing goods or luxury goods. Also, the winning tribe chooses one member from the losing team to go to Exile Island, who will soon rejoin the tribe before the next Immunity Challenge. Gary Stritesky and Anthony Robinson are first- the ball is #9, and despite slipping twice along the way, Stritesky gets it into the basket first to get Moto on the board! Next are Rita Verreos (Ravu) and Cassandra Franklin (Moto)- the ball is #3, and both slip early on, but Verreos ties the match up for the team! Next are Boo Bernis (Moto) and Rocky (Ravu)- ball is lucky #7, and Bernis does the process perfectly by doing a great slide to the ball, and getting it into the basket on the first shot to give Moto the lead! Next are Stacy Kimball (Moto) and Michelle Yi (Ravu)- ball is #6, Kimball had her ball when she grabbed it, but drops it! But she gets it into the basket to give Moto a 3-1 lead! Next are Alex Angarita (Moto) and Mookie Lee (Ravu)- ball is #10, and Lee does a great slide towards the ball, and gets it in on the second shot to make the score 3-2! Next are Sylvia Kwan (Ravu) and Liliana Gomez (Moto)- ball is #2, and while Kwan tiptoes through the path instead of sliding to get the ball, Gomez scores to give Moto a 4-2 lead! Next are Earl Cole (Ravu) and Edgardo Rivera (Moto)- ball is #11, and Rivera tackles this no problem to make Moto one point away from winning! They win the challenge on the next turn, and choose the fishing gear. They send Kwan to Exile Island.
The next clue for the first Immunity Idol:
When night has fallen and the tribe is asleep,
Find it under the cave's threshold, if you dig deep.
Kwan thinks this clue is very helpful. Back to Moto, Mr. Stritesky is feeling ill. Franklin says he didn't know where he was. Angarita says that he might not be able to participate in the Immunity Challenge, and suggests to him that he withdraw from the competition.
Immunity Challenge: It's another head-to-head challenge. This time, they have to eat food.
Ravu is happy about this, since they say they're very hungry. The first team to score four points wins. Basically, if Ravu wins, Stritesky is likely a goner, and if Moto wins, Kwan is likely a goner.
Liliana (Moto) and Rocky (Ravu) are first, and they must eat a giant clam....Rocky gets it down quickly, and wins the first point for Ravu! Next are Kwan (Ravu) and Herd (Moto), and the food is octopus tentacles....Herd is first to tie! Next are Lisi Linares (Moto) and Mookie Lee (Ravu), and the food is peanut worms....Lee is first to gave Ravu the lead! During that time, Lee taunted Linares and wanted her to throw up- after that portion of the challenge, there was tenison between the two tribes. Next are Cole (Ravu) and Angarita (Moto) and the food is sea cucumbers....Angarita is first to tie it up! Next are Yi (Ravu) and Rivera (Moto), and the food is fish eyes....Rivera is first to give Moto the lead! Next are Mr. Stritesky (Moto) and Mr. Robinson (Ravu), and the food is pig snouts...and "Papa Smurf" of Moto just won them immunity once more!
That means, as I thought, Kwan is out of the game.

RECAP: Nashville Star 2007 Semi-Finals
Chris Young, last season's big winner, did the opening performance.
Zac Hacker sung first. He sung "Lady". He did a nice job with it- I gave him an 8. Blake says Zac is a very sexy man. Queen Anastasia loved the performance. Randy says win, lose, or draw, he should keep trying again.
Joshua Stevens sung second. He did a decent job. I gave him a 7. Randy credits his attitude. Blake says it was a great performance, although he says he isn't as countryish as he should be.
Queen Anastasia thought it was a great performance, but does not think he will win the whole competition.
Third is David St. Romain. He's singing "Live Like You're Dying" by Tim McGraw. I gave him a 9. Queen Anastasia thinks that he has continued to prove himself. Randy says it was great, and Blake says he was good, but he still needs to find a song that will truly define him.
After Blake did his own performance, Angela Hacker is last. The song she had told a story, like several country songs do, and she did great- I gave her a 10! Blake loved it. Queen Anastasia thinks of platinum records when she thinks of her, and thinks the final will be between the two Hackers. Randy says she was the most consistent singer of the season.
The one of these people who will NOT be going to the finals is....
...Joshua Stevens. Here are my final scores before the finals:
Angela Hacker- 66
David St. Romain- 54
Zac Hacker- 48
Some people say the final two should be the Hackers, but I don't think so. How will it go, and who will win it all? Find out next week!

The first week of the semifinal round is over, and here's who's gone:
Boys: Chris Richardson and Rudy Cardenas
Girls: Amy Krebs and Nicole Tranquillo
The girls who left got shot down by bad luck from the home viewer votes, IMO.

2/22/2007 Results- Will J squared Take Big Payoff?
WWTBAM: The character mentioned in the above headline, Jeff Jones, is back for his third and final day on the show. He is only the second contestant in this version's history to stay on three consecutive shows, the other being Jeff Gross from 2004. For $500,000:
In the 1982 movie "Diner", what is the name of the diner where the characters hang out?
A: Windsor Hills
B: Rosemont
C: Fells Point
D: Allendale
He has NEVER seen this movie, but has a wild inclination of C. He decides to stop with the quarter million, but could he have won $500,000???....
....YES. Doggone it! But still, if the year had ended right now, I would have named him the 2007 Grand Champion right now. Enjoy your money, Jeff!
Casey Barnhart is next to try to fill his shoes. Believe it or not, he gets to the $25,000 mark without using a lifeline! He switches out the first $50,000 question for this:
At the end of the 1982 movie, "Casablanca", Ilsa leaves behind her beloved Rick to board a plane for what city?
A: Istanbul
B: Lisbon
C: Budapest
D: Zurich
Barnhart now asks the audience, and 50% say B, 22% say A and 18% say D. He uses the 50:50, leaving the top two. He chooses Lisbon....everyone was right all along for $50,000! For $100,000:
According to its closing credits, The Beatles' 1965 movie "Help!" is dedicated to the inventor of which of the following?
A: Cotton Gin
B: Reaper
C: Sewing machine
D: Steamboat
Barnhart calls Randall, his film critic buddy. He runs out of time before giving a guess, so he quits with $50,000. Answer was the sewing machine.
Family Feud: The Schweitzers ($21,405) want to be the TENTH undefeated family this season. To get a chance to do that on Friday, they must beat the Boxes (!!) today. The champs sweep the first question on things you hated sharing with your siblings as a kid for 95 points.
The Boxes get 77 back on things a woman might see that might force her to stop the car.
Double: Super Match question: Hit __________. Starting with:
#1- And Run (27, Boo)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Boxes will play. Baker says Hit Em' Up (?!?!?)....NO WAY. Jason says hit the streets...not much better, and not there. Rebecca says Hit the Road, Jack.....NO!!! What kind of people are they surveying here? For the champion steal, Debbie says Hit Me with your Best Shot.....Hit Me was all we needed as #2 to go to 149! Other matches: man, the ball, parade and "...or miss".
Triple: A number that would be rude about a woman. Baker says her age.....NUMBER ONE (66), so they get to play. Jason says weight....#2 (26)! Rebecca says her phone number....NO!
Mike says how many months she's been pregnant, which may remind Feud fans of the incident that involved a pregnancy question in Fast Money in 1980 that featured the September response that made Richard Dawson absolutely lose it! As for Mike's answer....not there.
Boo says her boob size....bottom (2)! Baker says #3 is pant size for the game, but I don't think so....and it's not. Debbie says for the steal IQ.....
...NO, so the Boxes are the new champions at 359! #3 was the number of marriages. I thought it was going to be height.
Fast Money: Let's see if Boo and Rebecca can help put $20,000 in this family's "box".
1. What's the longest amount of time you've taken to eat lunch during work?
2. A woman who has empowered other women.
3. A flavor of salad dressing often seen at salad bars.
4. A musical instrument starting with T.
5. The most common place on one's body to pull a muscle.
Boo says 90 minutes, Oprah (#1), Ranch (#1), trombone (#1) and hamstring (#1) for 180! Rebecca says two hours first....23 is good enough for $20,000! One hour was #1 for that question.
TPIR: Ryan Sparks is first, playing for a trip to Cozumel in Pushover. Board:
629703456
$2,970 is my guess. He says $6,297....but I'm right and he's not.
Brett Robinson goes for the big money in It's In the Bag. Products: storage bag, cat litter, supplement, adhesive, granola bars and a small can of Pringles. The first bag, worth $1,000, has a 79 cent product. He says the chips. For the $11.68 product, he says the supplement. For the $3.29 product, he says the granola bars. For the $5.99 product, he says the adhesive, and for the $4.89 item, he says the cat litter. He's right about the chips for $1,000. He goes on and is right about the supplement for $2,000. He goes on and is right for $4,000! He stops there, and wisely so. The adhesive should have been placed on the last bag. The previous item at $5.99 was the storage bag.
Miles Debain on the third IUFB, bid $9,000 on a sofa!! As a result of his blunder, Patricia Carruthers plays Cover Up for a Pontiac Vibe (Std, AT, Stereo, Heater, Prots). Board:
First Number: 1 or 3?
Second Number: 2, 4 or 9?
Third Number: 0, 1, 2 or 7?
Fourth Number: 2, 4, 5, 8 or 9?
Last Number: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7?
First guess is $19,282....first two numbers are right. Second guess is $19,756....only the fourth number is wrong now. Final guess is....
...$19,726 and she wins! And she gets to the Showcase!
Miles Debain rebounds from his blunder in the third IUFB by hitting the exerciser's price on the nose at $950, winning a $500 check! He can win $1,000 more, plus a tennis machine and a fireplace in Clock Game. The ARP of the tennis machine is $849. He starts with $650.....$950....$700....$800....$850....$820....$830....$840 and so on in one-up mode to win that! He has 15.5 seconds to win the fireplace, which costs $969. He starts with $1,000.....$900....$950....$975.....$965....and $969 to win it all!
Kelsey Beare then rolls the dice in Dice Game for a Chevy Colorado LS Regular Cab (Std., AT, Mats, Street, PProt). First number is 1. She rolls a 5 for the second number, which is not it, and that worries me. But she definitely thinks it's higher, and it is, because it's 6. She rolls a 5 for the third digit, which is not it. She says lower this time. Fourth digit roll is 3, which is not it, and she says higher. Last roll is 2, which is not it, and she says higher. Third number is....6 and she loses already. The ARP: $16,614.
Jody Leil is last to try for a GEM car in Flip Flop. Board:
9759
I know the price, and she does at $7,995! But the $9,000 bid man goes to the Showcase.
First Showcase has Lanisha scratching her back a lot for some things. First, she can't quite reach the place she's going in the garden, so she uses her new garden tools. Second, her back still itches, so she tries a pool cue from a new pool table. Finally, with her back still itching, she tries the side view mirror of a 2007 Chevy HHR LS (Std., AT/Remote, Airbags)! The lady passes this to the man, who bids $18,500, which is a bid that I like. For the lady, we have a year's supply of sourdough bread, a dining room and a TV. She bids $14,728.
ARP for the man: $19,407, a difference of $907. ARP for the lady....
...$13,684, meaning the man wins! Total: $23,675.
WOF: Tonight, we have Jodie Capian (in the yellow), Steve Brown and Chardra Bass. Capian gets the first two Toss-Ups for $3,000, meaning she'll start Round 1. Category is Before and After. After she calls the E's, we have...
_ E _ _ R _
_ A N _
_ E _ S T
She calls the L afterwards, which is a dud. Over to the man, who calls a $300 B, a $600 H, and then buys an I. Next, he calls a K for $550, and buys the O. He calls the M's to get the Free Spin, and solves MEMORY BANK HEIST for $1,000.
Jackpot Round category is Food and Drink. The man has to give up his Free Spin immiediately.
Bass hits Jackpot and calls two D's for $1,000, and we have...
_ _ _ A _ _
B A N A N A
_ _ D D _ N _
I don't know the top word, and neither does she. She gets the Bankrupt next. The lady in the middle calls the P for $600 and a $400 G. She then calls the I and the U, which don't do much help. She calls an R for $550, which is the second letter of the top word, but her O call is a dud.
The man calls the C, the first letter of the top word, but goofs by repeating the U instead of saying E. Bass gets the Bankrupt again, and the lady in the middle goes on to solve CREAMY BANANA PUDDING for $1,550 and $4,550 total.
Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. Remember, someone this week in this round could win a car if they're lucky. The lady in the middle lands on a Mystery Wedge, calls the H and flips....CAR! After she calls the O, we have....
I
T H I _ _
_ O _' L L
_ E
_ L E _ _ _ _ T L _
_ _ R _ R I _ E _
I know this now. She calls two A's, and then two U's. She calls three S's, and solves I THINK YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED to win the Nissan Versa, $4,350 cash and a trip to Scotland! She's up to $27,324 in cash and prizes!
Bass solves CAREER WOMAN to get on the board with $3,000! Speed-Up Round category is Thing, and consonants are worth $1,600. After she calls the N, we have...
S _ _ T _ _ R N
_ _ S _ _ T _ _ _ T _
I know this, and it fits the location. She gets another chance by calling the L, and for $8,000....NO. The lady in the middle solves SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY to ice her cake with $30,324!
She spins the S in CASH, which was spin for the second time this week at least. Category is Thing. Starting with:
_ _ S _ _
_ E _ R _
I think it's something BEARD. Capian calls C, M, P and A and gets...
_ _ S _ _
_ E A R _
The Y and the U shot her down- it was BUSHY BEARD, and she won't be adding another $30,000.
In the 1982 movie "Diner", what is the name of the diner where the characters hang out?
A: Windsor Hills
B: Rosemont
C: Fells Point
D: Allendale
He has NEVER seen this movie, but has a wild inclination of C. He decides to stop with the quarter million, but could he have won $500,000???....
....YES. Doggone it! But still, if the year had ended right now, I would have named him the 2007 Grand Champion right now. Enjoy your money, Jeff!
Casey Barnhart is next to try to fill his shoes. Believe it or not, he gets to the $25,000 mark without using a lifeline! He switches out the first $50,000 question for this:
At the end of the 1982 movie, "Casablanca", Ilsa leaves behind her beloved Rick to board a plane for what city?
A: Istanbul
B: Lisbon
C: Budapest
D: Zurich
Barnhart now asks the audience, and 50% say B, 22% say A and 18% say D. He uses the 50:50, leaving the top two. He chooses Lisbon....everyone was right all along for $50,000! For $100,000:
According to its closing credits, The Beatles' 1965 movie "Help!" is dedicated to the inventor of which of the following?
A: Cotton Gin
B: Reaper
C: Sewing machine
D: Steamboat
Barnhart calls Randall, his film critic buddy. He runs out of time before giving a guess, so he quits with $50,000. Answer was the sewing machine.
Family Feud: The Schweitzers ($21,405) want to be the TENTH undefeated family this season. To get a chance to do that on Friday, they must beat the Boxes (!!) today. The champs sweep the first question on things you hated sharing with your siblings as a kid for 95 points.
The Boxes get 77 back on things a woman might see that might force her to stop the car.
Double: Super Match question: Hit __________. Starting with:
#1- And Run (27, Boo)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Boxes will play. Baker says Hit Em' Up (?!?!?)....NO WAY. Jason says hit the streets...not much better, and not there. Rebecca says Hit the Road, Jack.....NO!!! What kind of people are they surveying here? For the champion steal, Debbie says Hit Me with your Best Shot.....Hit Me was all we needed as #2 to go to 149! Other matches: man, the ball, parade and "...or miss".
Triple: A number that would be rude about a woman. Baker says her age.....NUMBER ONE (66), so they get to play. Jason says weight....#2 (26)! Rebecca says her phone number....NO!
Mike says how many months she's been pregnant, which may remind Feud fans of the incident that involved a pregnancy question in Fast Money in 1980 that featured the September response that made Richard Dawson absolutely lose it! As for Mike's answer....not there.
Boo says her boob size....bottom (2)! Baker says #3 is pant size for the game, but I don't think so....and it's not. Debbie says for the steal IQ.....
...NO, so the Boxes are the new champions at 359! #3 was the number of marriages. I thought it was going to be height.
Fast Money: Let's see if Boo and Rebecca can help put $20,000 in this family's "box".
1. What's the longest amount of time you've taken to eat lunch during work?
2. A woman who has empowered other women.
3. A flavor of salad dressing often seen at salad bars.
4. A musical instrument starting with T.
5. The most common place on one's body to pull a muscle.
Boo says 90 minutes, Oprah (#1), Ranch (#1), trombone (#1) and hamstring (#1) for 180! Rebecca says two hours first....23 is good enough for $20,000! One hour was #1 for that question.
TPIR: Ryan Sparks is first, playing for a trip to Cozumel in Pushover. Board:
629703456
$2,970 is my guess. He says $6,297....but I'm right and he's not.
Brett Robinson goes for the big money in It's In the Bag. Products: storage bag, cat litter, supplement, adhesive, granola bars and a small can of Pringles. The first bag, worth $1,000, has a 79 cent product. He says the chips. For the $11.68 product, he says the supplement. For the $3.29 product, he says the granola bars. For the $5.99 product, he says the adhesive, and for the $4.89 item, he says the cat litter. He's right about the chips for $1,000. He goes on and is right about the supplement for $2,000. He goes on and is right for $4,000! He stops there, and wisely so. The adhesive should have been placed on the last bag. The previous item at $5.99 was the storage bag.

American Idol Top 24- The Girls
Starting the show is Stephanie Edwards. She was too karokey. I gave it a 4. Randy says that was better than any of the boys last night. Paula says she was a star. Simon says she was a million times better than anyone else so far.
Next is Amy Krebs, who sings "I Can't Make You Love Me". I thought she did a very good job! I gave her an 8. Randy says it was average. Paula agreed with him, and Simon said she doesn't remember her well with that performance.
Third is Leslie Hunt. She sings "I Feel like a Natural Woman", by Aretha Franklin. If it hadn't been for the beginning, I might have given it a 10. I also gave this an 8. Randy thought the song was too big for her.
Paula agrees with me, and Simon says it wasn't great, and she felt uncomfortable on stage.
Fourth is Sabrina Sloan. AWESOME performance- I gave her a 10! Randy says we now have a competition after that one! Paula and Simon agree too!
Fifth is Antonella Barba. She sings "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. I didn't really hate this one, but I didn't like it either- I gave it a 4. Randy says it was pitchy and bland. Paula says it wasn't that bad, and Simon says it didn't work.
Sixth is Jordin Sparks, who is 17. She sings "Turn My Back Around". This is another tough song meant for boys singing, but she wasn't that bad. I gave her a 7. Randy says she has a big voice, and has a lot of natural talent, but advises her not to be afraid on stage. Paula says the song selection was great. Simon says with her voice, she could surprise people.
Seventh is Nicole Tranquillo. She did a great job, but she sung a song that I don't really remember. Therefore, I gave her a 9. Randy says it didn't really work. Paula disagrees.
Simon says it looked indulgent, but was fake.
Eighth is Haley Scarnato. I also really liked her too- I also gave her a 9! Randy says it was just OK, but liked the song choice since she has a Broadway voice. Paula said she did a nice job, and Simon said she sounded like she was old.
Ninth is Melinda Doolittle. She did AWESOME, and sounded like Aretha Franklin! Thus, I gave her a 10! Randy says that's how it's done. Simon said she was an incredible singer!
In the 10 spot is Alaina Alexander. She sings "I'm Special". She did no body language in the song at all and sang poorly. I gave her a 2. Randy says it wasn't great. Paula says she didn't really go for it this time. Simon says it wasn't special and it was a mess.
Next-to-last is Gina Glocksen. She started out slowly, but was great later. I gave her a 7. Randy says it was nice. Paula says it was the right song choice, and Simon says he didn't expect her to sing like that, and says she didn't quite perfect it.
Finally, we have LaKisha Jones. I thought she was the best singer tonight- I obviously gave her a 10! Randy thought she reminded him of Jennifer Hudson, and told her to watch out! Simon said that the other 23 should go home after that great performance! Amen.
Next is Amy Krebs, who sings "I Can't Make You Love Me". I thought she did a very good job! I gave her an 8. Randy says it was average. Paula agreed with him, and Simon said she doesn't remember her well with that performance.
Third is Leslie Hunt. She sings "I Feel like a Natural Woman", by Aretha Franklin. If it hadn't been for the beginning, I might have given it a 10. I also gave this an 8. Randy thought the song was too big for her.

2/21/2007 Results
TPIR: Karen Webber first plays for a pair of motorcycles in Freeze Frame. Remember the rule for the last digit for a pair of one prize. Her guess is $3,875....doesn't follow the rule. ARP: $4,138. When Bob said if the board stops, it can't be started again, Webber added the "37 hours gag" from Range Game!
Sharon Jenkins is now the second one to play More or Less! At stake today-an electric violin marked at $3,500, a bar set marked at $4,100, a pinball machine marked at $3,700, and a Jeep Wrangler! Jenkins first says the violin is less, and it's $2,345. Next, she says the dinette is less, and it's $3,510! Then, she says more for the pinball machine....it's $4,995, so she's won the first three prizes, and she's going for the Jeep! Same process like the other three prizes. Wrong price is $17,500, and she says more.....
....it's $18,765 and she's the first winner of this new game!
Joanne Mick is third to play Safe Crackers for a trip to Austrailia and luggage worth a combined $15,624! The numbers in the price of the luggage are 0, 6 and 7. Her guess is $607 (?!?!)....NO WAY. She would have still lost even if she guessed $670-it's $760.
SSD1: The old fart gets 15....and 75 for 90 cents. Webber says she and her mom watch the show, and remember that there was a Christmas showcase. She spins 60 cents.....and 35 for 95 cents, and the old fart mercifully gets the hook! The More or Less winner gets a nickel...and 50, so the loyal Price watcher is in the Showcase!
Fourth is Robert Goldstein, who got the ARP of $1,799 exactly right on the fireplace, winning a check for $500! Then, he plays That's Too Much for a Ford Focus Sedan (Std., AC, ALB, Airbags, Prot), and when he hears the news that he's going for a car, he pulls a Cody and runs up on the turntable! What's going on here? Anyway, the first price is $15,998. The second price is $16,005. Third price is $17,121. Fourth price is $18,990, and he says THAT'S TOO MUCH......too far. The ARP was $16,277.
Fifth is Daniel Cloth, who mentions his father was on the show about a quarter of a century ago, plays Grocery Game for a dining room. He first takes two fabric softeners. Each one is $6.99, for a total of $13.98. He must spend between $20 and $21 to win. He next takes two Hot Pockets. Each one is $2.49, giving him $18.96. He thinks the Tums is between $1.04 and $2.04.....but it's $4.21 and he loses.
Last is Jessica Pagan, also a LFAT of this show, who plays for a spa in Squeeze Play. Board:
51285
She takes the 1, for a guess of $5,285....it's $5,125. Believe it or not, More or Less was the only game won today. Go figure. But she does get into the Showcase after the first two spinners go over.
The first Showcase has a home gym and a Mediterranean Cruise. Pagan is given this one and bids $11,500. Webber sees fake favorite record albums. First, there's Jefferson Scareplane, which is a band that plays music inspired by new horror DVDs. Second, there's Grateful Bed, which is a band whose members get their tune ideas while they sleep in a new bedroom. And finally, A Ski'D Ski is a band who writes their music while they ride in a new ski boat! Webber bids $22,000.
ARP for Webber: $29,792, a difference of $7,792. ARP for Pagan: $20,480, a difference of $8,980, meaning Webber wins and takes home $33,091 in prizes!
WOF: Tonight, we have Dustin Henderson (in the yellow, who is attending The Citadel and is a member of the Snack Pack there), Debra Collins and Dr. Rayna Clay. The man in the middle gets both Toss-Ups for $3,000 as we put a California trip worth $7,500 on the wheel in time for Round 1, whose category is Song/Artist. After the doctor calls the S's, we have...
_ S N' T
S _ E
_ _ _ E _ _
_ _
S T E _ _ E
W _ N D E _
I know this now. She picks up the trip with an R call, and she solves ISN'T SHE LOVELY BY STEVIE WONDER to win $10,200 in cash and trip!
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. After Collins calls the W's and hits Jackpot, we have...
_ _ _
N E V E R
_ N _ W
W _ E R E
_ _ _ E
W _ _ _
T _ _ E
_ _ _
...she hits Bankrupt next. The man in the middle calls two Y's for $1,600, and calls three O's and two U's. He calls a $350 H and two K's for $1,600, then two I's, and we now have...
Y O U
N E V E R
K N O W
W H E R E
_ I _ E
W I _ _
T _ K E
Y O U
I don't know the word after WHERE. He calls the A, and after getting three L's, he solves YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE LIFE WILL TAKE YOU for $4,950 and a trip to Spain! New total for him: $14,348.
The Mystery Round category is Before and After, and a Nissan Versa could be awaiting a contestant after this round. The one who has yet to get on the board gets the Wild Card early on. After the man calls the E, we have...
R _ _ _ E R
_ A L L
_ _ _ N
The only word I don't know is that last word. He loses his turn by calling the C. The person at the zero mark calls a D, another baddie. The doctor gets three B's for $900, and one U. Then, she calls the O, and the O is the second letter of the final word. She calls the G, and solves RUBBER BALL GOWN for $1,000 and $11,200 total.
The man gets DESSERT BOWLS to go to $17,348. Speed-Up Round category is On the Map, and consonants are worth $6,000 each! After the doctor calls two N's, we have...
_ _ N
_ _ _ N
_ _ _ R T _
R _ _ _
...and she solves SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO to win the match with $23,200! The lady at the end gets the $1,000 consolation.
The doctor spins the third zero. Category is Food and Drink. Starting with:
_ _ _ R _ _ _
The doctor calls G, H, M and O....but none are there. She doesn't solve PAPRIKA for another $25,000. The P's and A's would have done it.
WWTBAM: Jeff Jones is back. For $25,000:
In the 1997 satire "Wag the Dog", the White House distracts the nation from a sex scandal by staging a fake war with what country?
A: Albania
B: Estonia
C: Montenegro
D: Belarus
He calls Mr. Holliday, who is his English teacher. But he draws a blank, so Jones asks the audience. 40% say A, 29% say B, 19% say D and 12% say C, which is also not much help.
He then uses the 50:50, leaving A and D, and Jones was leaning towards A from the start.
He eventually says Albania as his answer....that's $25,000! For $50,000, after switching:
Anthony Hopkins has said that Hannibal Lecter's voice is a mixture of Truman Capote's, Katherine Hepburn's, and what other voice?
A: Norman Bates
B: HAL 9000
C: C-3PO
D: Colonel Kurtz
He says HAL 9000, and is worried that Norman Bates is actually it....but it's HAL 9000 for $50,000! For $100,000:
Which of these Hollywood couples starred in two movies together in 2006?
A: Kate Beckinsale and Adam Sandler
B: Jodie Foster and Clive Owen
C: Scarlett Johanssen and Hugh Jackman
D: Diane Lane and Adrian Brody
After thinking about it, he says C....
...$100,000!! For $250,000:
In "Office Space", Peter's co-worker admits that his high-tech, get rich scheme came from what movie?
A: "Beverly Hills Cop II"
B: "Cannonball Run II"
C: "Superman III"
D: "Revenge of the Nerds II"
Jones has a huge smile on his face, because he knows it's "Superman III" for $250,000!! But, he won't be able to claim the money today- time's up. We'll see if he can bring home the really big money tomorrow.
DOND: First on the player docket tonight is Dimetra. She's a first generation Greek person. Her case choice is #22. The lady holding #9 is Greek, BTW.
Let's pick it up with Round 5. The board at this point: PENNY, $75, $300, $400, $5,000, $300,000, $400,000 and $750,000. First pick is #25...$400! Other pick is #18...$750,000.
New offer is $44,000. NO DEAL. Into one case mode now.
Her next choice is #21....$300! New offer: $91,000! NO DEAL.
Next choice is #13, after Leyla holds the player's bracelet for good luck....PENNY!!! And some of his family members break plates on the floor in celebration! The new offer: $109,000.....
...NO DEAL!
Her new choice is #3......
....$300,000, so the safety net looks gone to me. Offer now is $95,000.....
....DEAL! But the $400,000 was in her case. Sorry.
Ishmael Brown is next. His case choice is #11.
Round 1: Mr. Brown chooses #14.....$200,000. Second choice is #15....$100,000. Third choice is #6....$200. Fourth choice is #26....MILLION IS GONE NOW. Fifth choice is #2.....$50,000.
Last pick is #10....$300,000. First offer he turns down: $9,000, which I think is a record low for a first offer.
Round 2: #21 is first.....$50! Second pick is #18...$75,000. Third pick from Brown is #7....$25! Fourth pick is #9....$300! Last pick is #13....$1,000. The next offer he turns down: $33,000.
He is back on Monday.
Sharon Jenkins is now the second one to play More or Less! At stake today-an electric violin marked at $3,500, a bar set marked at $4,100, a pinball machine marked at $3,700, and a Jeep Wrangler! Jenkins first says the violin is less, and it's $2,345. Next, she says the dinette is less, and it's $3,510! Then, she says more for the pinball machine....it's $4,995, so she's won the first three prizes, and she's going for the Jeep! Same process like the other three prizes. Wrong price is $17,500, and she says more.....
....it's $18,765 and she's the first winner of this new game!
Joanne Mick is third to play Safe Crackers for a trip to Austrailia and luggage worth a combined $15,624! The numbers in the price of the luggage are 0, 6 and 7. Her guess is $607 (?!?!)....NO WAY. She would have still lost even if she guessed $670-it's $760.
SSD1: The old fart gets 15....and 75 for 90 cents. Webber says she and her mom watch the show, and remember that there was a Christmas showcase. She spins 60 cents.....and 35 for 95 cents, and the old fart mercifully gets the hook! The More or Less winner gets a nickel...and 50, so the loyal Price watcher is in the Showcase!
Fourth is Robert Goldstein, who got the ARP of $1,799 exactly right on the fireplace, winning a check for $500! Then, he plays That's Too Much for a Ford Focus Sedan (Std., AC, ALB, Airbags, Prot), and when he hears the news that he's going for a car, he pulls a Cody and runs up on the turntable! What's going on here? Anyway, the first price is $15,998. The second price is $16,005. Third price is $17,121. Fourth price is $18,990, and he says THAT'S TOO MUCH......too far. The ARP was $16,277.
Fifth is Daniel Cloth, who mentions his father was on the show about a quarter of a century ago, plays Grocery Game for a dining room. He first takes two fabric softeners. Each one is $6.99, for a total of $13.98. He must spend between $20 and $21 to win. He next takes two Hot Pockets. Each one is $2.49, giving him $18.96. He thinks the Tums is between $1.04 and $2.04.....but it's $4.21 and he loses.
Last is Jessica Pagan, also a LFAT of this show, who plays for a spa in Squeeze Play. Board:
51285
She takes the 1, for a guess of $5,285....it's $5,125. Believe it or not, More or Less was the only game won today. Go figure. But she does get into the Showcase after the first two spinners go over.
The first Showcase has a home gym and a Mediterranean Cruise. Pagan is given this one and bids $11,500. Webber sees fake favorite record albums. First, there's Jefferson Scareplane, which is a band that plays music inspired by new horror DVDs. Second, there's Grateful Bed, which is a band whose members get their tune ideas while they sleep in a new bedroom. And finally, A Ski'D Ski is a band who writes their music while they ride in a new ski boat! Webber bids $22,000.
ARP for Webber: $29,792, a difference of $7,792. ARP for Pagan: $20,480, a difference of $8,980, meaning Webber wins and takes home $33,091 in prizes!

American Idol Top 24- The Boys
Well, the real fun begins on American Idol with the Top 24 Round upon us! The boys are in the first half of the two-part performance extravanganza tonight, and the second part tomorrow will feature the ladies. A one-hour results show is on Thursday to determine which two boys and girls are eliminated.
First boy tonight is Rudy Cardenas. He sings "Thrill Ride". That sounded kariokish to me, so I gave it a 4. Randy says while it's always difficult to start the show, it was very corny. Paula thought it was fantastic, and Simon thought the song choice was not memorable or unique.
Second is Brandon Rogers. He got off to a rough start, but got better as time went on. I gave it a 6. Randy says it was a bit pitchy. Paula said she did great, and Simon said the song was predictable.
Third is Sundance Head. He sings "I Love You". He did a good job, although he was a little flat at times. My score is 8. Randy says it was pitchy. Paula says he picked the wrong song, and Simon says Rogers was like a dad at a wedding, and was old-fashioned.
Fourth is Paul Kim. He was way out of tune, and was extremely flat. I gave him a 3. Randy says it was pitchy at the start, and got better as time went on. He still saw potential in him. Paula says he oversang the song and was pitchy, and Simon says that he should put his shoes on, and thought the performance was ordinary.
Fifth is Chris Richardson. He sings "I Don't Want to Be". I thought it was very shaky and flat. I gave it a 3. Randy says the show really got going here, even though he says it wasn't his best performance. Paula says he had a great arrangement, and Simon said his voice was small in the song, but thought the girls might vote for him at home.
Sixth is Nicholas Pedro, who is the comeback kid from last season. He did OK- I gave him a 6.
Randy says the performance was boring. Paula says it was the right type of song, but it fell flat. Simon says the performance wasn't that bad, like I say.
Seventh is Blake Lewis. Although he was a bit flat, he still did a good job. I gave him a 7.
Randy kinda felt his performance. Paula says his vocals were spot on. Simon says his performance was more like today, even though it wasn't the best of performances.
Eighth is Sanjaya Malakar. He performed much better than I thought-I gave him a 9! Randy thought he fell into the trap of doing a Stevie Wonder song, and wasn't even close. Paula says she wished she had seen more personality from him, and Simon says it was the most dreary performance of the night.
Ninth is Chris Sligh. He had fun, but he was pitchy. I gave him a 4. Randy says his voice was on par for the most part, even though he was rushing. Paula said he had a great time, but Simon said the performance took him back to a student gig.
10th is Jared Cotter. His performance was "eh" to me- I gave it a 4 also. Randy thought it was pretty good on a tough song, but didn't like the ending. Paula says his performance was more like Brian McKnight would have sung, and Simon says he was nasaly and uneventful, although his apperance looked good. He also wanted him to take more risks.
Next-to-last is AJ Tabaldo. He sang "All My Love". I thought he was solid- I gave him a 7.
Randy says the vocals were decent. Paula says he can definitely sing, and Simon says it was decent, but predictable.
Final singer this show is Phil Stacey. He sang "I Could Not Ask For More", and I thought he did very well. I gave him an 8. Randy says it started out rough, but said it was the best performance of the night. Paula says he nailed it, and Simon thought it was OK.

Charleston is marked at $3,623, and the Windy City is marked at $4,579. Her pick is Charleston. ARP for Chicago: $6,579, a difference of two grand. Charleston must be at least $5,723 to win. ARP:
$5........123, so she loses.
SSD1: Gerald spins 60 and stops. Easterbrook spins 95 cents. Grover spins 60 cents....and goes over. But he does leave with $91,366 in prizes, making him the third biggest winner this season!

2/19/2007 Results
TPIR: Starting today is Eugene Brillion, who plays Credit Card for a pair of guitars, a model ship, a snow blower, a dinette from Broyhill and a pool cleaner. If he can pick the three prizes that combine for a total of $2,500 or less, he wins all the prizes. First pick is the ship.....$999.
Second is the pool cleaner....$599. He thinks the snowblower is $902 or less.....it's $670, so he wins!
Second is Robin Cornwell, who plays Pocket Change for a Chevy Monte Carlo LS (Std., Airbags). First number is 2, and the remining potential digits are 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8. For the second number, she guesses 1 and is right! For the third number, she guesses 8.....right! For the fourth number, she says 5....NO WAY. She then tries the 7....but it's the 6, so the car is now 75 cents. She says the 5 as the last digit. The ARP is $21,865, and the car sells for 75 cents today. First envelope has a dime. Second one has a nickel. Third one has another dime. She must get a quarter at least in the last envelope to win.....it's a quarter on the nose, and she wins the car!
Benjamin Derrenger tries to make it a perfect half by hopefully winning a new living room in Cliff Hangers. First up is a small disco lamp, and he says $17.....it's $11. Next is an electronic game, and he says $20.....it's $30. Now, he must be within $9 of the ARP of the coffee maker to win. He says $43....it's $40 and we do have a perfect first half!
SSD1: Derrenger spins 20.....and 50 for 70 cents. Brillon spins 95 cents! Cornwell doesn't do much with the wheel, so Brillion goes to the Showcase.
Louanne Palmer then plays Switch? for some golf clubs marked at $2,397 and a kitchen island marked at $1,345. She wants to leave the prices alone, but decides to switch.....fourth winner in a row!
Trudy Dara then is ready to play Stack the Deck for a Dodge Caliber SE (Std., AC, Sealant, FabProt). Board:
9347150
First pair of items are skin cream and rice. Target is $1.99, and Dara's choice is the rice, which is right! She picks the fourth number, which is 7 ($ _ _, _ 7 _). Next pair are a bag of cat food and fabric softener, and the target is $3.99. She picks the cat food....right! She picks the last number, which is a wise move IMO. It's 9 ($ _ _, _ 7 9). Last pair of items are Tums and foot powder. Target is $4.21, and she picks the Tums....right she is! She picks the first number, which of course is 1 ($ 1 _, _ 7 9), but we'll see how this works out. She says the second number is 5, and she says the third number is.....
....4, for a guess of $15,479, and she wins the car! One win away!
Amanda Jones will now play Range Game for a trip to Jamaica to try to make the perfect show happen. Range is $5,300-$5,900. She guesses $5,525-$5,675. The ARP.....
....five thousand.......
....five hundred......
....54- WE HAVE A PERFECT SHOW!!!!
SSD2: Palmer spins 70 and stays. Jones spins that too. Dara spins 30....and more of the same, so we have a spinoff with the first two spinners. Palmer spins the dollar, wins $1,000 and is in the Showcase!
First Showcase features sleepwear, a bedroom and a pair of jet skis. Palmer gets this and bids $17,500. Brillion sees things that roar. First, you could roar with laughter with selected books.
Second, you can hear lions roar on an African Safari! And finally, there's that V8 engine that roars in a new CORVETTE (Std., AT, 3LT Wheels, Z51)!!! He bids $60,000.
ARP for the lady: $24,044, a difference of $6,544. ARP for the man....
....$71,912. Not quite enough, so the lady wins and takes home $31,635 in prizes. The man fell short, but he does leave with $8,740 in prizes.
WOF: It's the final week from Charleston, and they've had a great time so far. Cara Gareem (in the blue), Rana Walsh and Jim Fander are playing tonight. Gareem gets the first two Toss-Ups for $3,000, and starts with Round 1's category being Before and After. A trip to Maui is now on the wheel. Walsh gets the Wild Card early on. After she calls the V, we have..
L O _ _- L O S T
_ E L _ T _ V E
H _ _ _ _ _ T _
I know this now. She calls an N for $300, a $600 D, and buys three I's. Next is a $300 R and a $400 G, then she buys one A. Next is a $300 M, and she solves LONG-LOST RELATIVE HUMIDITY for $3,600.

T _ E
_ _ _ _ E
Should know the middle words by now. Walsh calls H, B, M and A and gets....

WWTBAM: Time for the second annual Million Dollar Movie Week! All week long, contestants will be movie fans of some sort, and the questions will have a movie theme too. For this week only, the movie screen that was seen at the road shows in Orlando is being used in the entranceway to show movie clips that pertain to some questions. First contestant is Steve Fishman. He's coasting until this $16,000 question:
Which of these soon-to-be-stars didn't appear in the 1983 movie, "The Outsiders"?
A: Rob Lowe
B: Emilo Estevez
C: Tom Cruise
D: Kiefer Sutherland
Fishman asks the audience- 47% say D, 23% say B, and 15% each chose the other two.
Despite the results, he agrees with Sutherland and is right! He then gets to $25,000 before going for $50,000 on this:
What city's Union Square is the setting for an illicit char two people share in the 1974 movie, "The Conversation" ?
A: S.F.
B: Chicago
C: NYC

He calls Taye, who is a college friend. He says A, but is not sure. Fishman was leaning towards C when he saw the question, but decides to agree with his friend on the Golden Gate city....and has $50,000! For $100,000, after switching out:
While playing "6 Degrees with Kevin Bacon" on CNN, Bacon linked Shaquille O' Neal and Chris Penn through what actor?
A: Steve Buscemi
B: Chris Tucker

D: Peter Falk
He uses the 50:50, leaving the bottom two. After some thinking, he remembers info and says Nick Nolte.....
....and he has $100,000!! He stops afterwards as we close shop for the day. Good way to start the week!
Family Feud: The Michies are back to defend against the Schweitzers. The challengers score 82 first on things that have "the works" put on them. They go to 159 on things you shouldn't do inside one's car.

I can't believe that's not up there! Back to Billy, who says a Lexus....#4 (9). Ashley says a Mustang.....STRIKEOUT. For the champion steal, Andy says a Bentley....NO, so the challengers are up to 273! #5 was a Cadillac (8).
Triple: Name a country other than us that starts with A. Jacob says Albania (?!?!?)....UH, NO. Billy says Argentina, and that's #2 (17) to give them the chance to close it out! Ashley says nothing. Debbie says Asia (?!?!?)....there's a continent that starts with A that is up there, but Asia is NOT it. Kelly draws a blank, so the champs have a chance to force Sudden Death. Andy says Amsterdam....NO, so the Schweitzers are the new champions at 324! #1 was, of course, Austrailia (53). Also up there were Austria and Afghanistan.
Fast Money: Debbie and Billy play.

For the second number, she guesses 1 and is right! For the third number, she guesses 8.....right! For the fourth number, she says 5....NO WAY. She then tries the 7....but it's the 6, so the car is now 75 cents. She says the 5 as the last digit. The ARP is $21,865, and the car sells for 75 cents today. First envelope has a dime.

SSD1: Derrenger spins 20.....and 50 for 70 cents. Brillon spins 95 cents! Cornwell doesn't do much with the wheel, so Brillion goes to the Showcase.

....NO DEAL! He then chooses #11.....

....DEAL! And the perfect one too- he would've taken out the $750,000 on his next pick! Very well done! And what was in his case? Of all amounts, $750! Howie then gives the $750 case to the cowboy's family members, because the amount represented their life!
WWTBAM: Time for the second annual Million Dollar Movie Week! All week long, contestants will be movie fans of some sort, and the questions will have a movie theme too. For this week only, the movie screen that was seen at the road shows in Orlando is being used in the entranceway to show movie clips that pertain to some questions. First contestant is Steve Fishman. He's coasting until this $16,000 question:
Which of these soon-to-be-stars didn't appear in the 1983 movie, "The Outsiders"?
A: Rob Lowe
B: Emilo Estevez
C: Tom Cruise
D: Kiefer Sutherland
Fishman asks the audience- 47% say D, 23% say B, and 15% each chose the other two.
Despite the results, he agrees with Sutherland and is right! He then gets to $25,000 before going for $50,000 on this:
What city's Union Square is the setting for an illicit char two people share in the 1974 movie, "The Conversation" ?
A: S.F.
B: Chicago
C: NYC
D: Seattle
He calls Taye, who is a college friend. He says A, but is not sure. Fishman was leaning towards C when he saw the question, but decides to agree with his friend on the Golden Gate city....and has $50,000! For $100,000, after switching out:
While playing "6 Degrees with Kevin Bacon" on CNN, Bacon linked Shaquille O' Neal and Chris Penn through what actor?
A: Steve Buscemi
B: Chris Tucker
C: Nick Nolte
D: Peter Falk
He uses the 50:50, leaving the bottom two. After some thinking, he remembers info and says Nick Nolte.....
....and he has $100,000!! He stops afterwards as we close shop for the day. Good way to start the week!
Family Feud: The Michies are back to defend against the Schweitzers. The challengers score 82 first on things that have "the works" put on them. They go to 159 on things you shouldn't do inside one's car.
Double: Sexy cars. This is my kind of question. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6- Ferrari (8, Becky)
The challengers play. Billy says a Porsche....#2 (12)! Ashley says a Jaguar....#3 (11)! Debbie says a Lamborghini.....NUMBER ONE (17)! Kelly says a BMW....no. Becky says a Corvette....NO!! I can't believe that's not up there! Back to Billy, who says a Lexus....#4 (9). Ashley says a Mustang.....STRIKEOUT. For the champion steal, Andy says a Bentley....NO, so the challengers are up to 273! #5 was a Cadillac (8).
Triple: Name a country other than us that starts with A. Jacob says Albania (?!?!?)....UH, NO. Billy says Argentina, and that's #2 (17) to give them the chance to close it out! Ashley says nothing. Debbie says Asia (?!?!?)....there's a continent that starts with A that is up there, but Asia is NOT it. Kelly draws a blank, so the champs have a chance to force Sudden Death. Andy says Amsterdam....NO, so the Schweitzers are the new champions at 324! #1 was, of course, Austrailia (53). Also up there were Austria and Afghanistan.
Fast Money: Debbie and Billy play.
1. Name something you look forward to do on Sunday.
2. A thing that's frequently traded.
3. A boy's name that starts with B.
4. Name a bowl game other than the Rose Bowl.
5. Name an animal that resembles a horse.
Debbie says going to church, baseball cards, Billy(!), Super Bowl (#1) and a mule (#1) for....161! Billy says football for Sunday first.....11. Resting was #1 for that. He then says stocks....only one away from winning! That was #1. He then says Bob(!!!)....and it makes the survey to give them $20,000!
Another series low for Mr. Trump
The latest episode of "The Apprentice: LA" set another new series low rating for the show for a regular episode- a 3.8 Fast Neilsen with a 6 share. Maybe things will get better with the new Sunday lineup...

2/18/07 Results
DOND: Looks like Tony Kolton's fun will come later in the show. Cheryl Clark is back after all.
She starts the game with Round 5. Left at this point: $5, $200, $300, $1,000, $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 and $300,000.
Round 5: Clark's first choice is #22....$75,000. Her other pick is #24.....$1,000. New offer is:
$57,000. NO DEAL, so it's one case time.
Her next choice is #15....$100,000. New offer: $51,000. NO DEAL.
She now picks #4.....$300! New offer: $78,000.....
...NO DEAL! She then tries the end of the board, #26....
....$200! New offer: $118,000.....
....DEAL! But she had the $300,000, though.
Now is Tony Kolton's chance. His case choice is #19. His face is said to imitate Babe Ruth's and Fred Flintstone's!
Round 1: Kolton starts off with #1, where the million was last.....$10 this time. Next is #9....$1,000. Third is #21.....$500. Fourth is #26.....$5! Fifth is #6......$100. The final pick from him is #2.....$25,000. Believe it or not, the banker is feeling very generous. So generous, in fact, that he is being given the biggest first offer on any game ever- $80,000!! But obviously, he says NO DEAL.
Round 2: He picks #17.....PENNY!!! Next is #20.....$100,000. Third, he picks #13.....$200!
Fourth, he picks #5....$300! Lastly, he picks #12......$400! He has set ANOTHER NEW RECORD OFFER, this time for the second one- $153,000!! NO DEAL.
Round 3: Starting with #18.....$50! Secondly, he chooses #25....$750,000. Thirdly, he picks #8.....$75,000. Final pick is #11.....$1! New offer this time: $169,000! NO DEAL.
After this round, Dick Butkus and Scottie Pippen appear.
Round 4: Kolton's first choice is #14....MILLION-OUT OF HERE. So his fun's over, at least for now. #17 is next.....$400,000. Finally, he chooses #10......$75. New offer goes back down to earth: $94,000. Believe it or not, he says DEAL. Everyone is shocked, even Howie! He would have eliminated the $500,000 in Round 5. But he had $200,000 in his case. But, still, he was quite a player while it lasted!
Amazing Race: All Stars- It's time to begin the edition of this show I've been long waiting for! This first episode was taped around the holiday season.
The race starts in Miami, Florida.
Clue #1: Teams must take a flight to Quito, Ecuador. Once there, they must take a taxi to the Palace of San Fransisco, where they'll find their next clue. What teams don't know is that they must figure out that the American Airlines flight there is leaving later, but is arriving two hours earlier than the Copa flight.
At this point, John Vito and Jill have the early lead. The famous reality team of Rob and Amber are second. Kevin and Drew are last.
For a few teams, the American Airlines flight runs out of seats for them, including Dustin and Kandace.
After the teams get to Ecuador, Oswald and Danny take over the lead. Charla and Mirna are second, John Vito and Jill are third, and Rob and Amber are fourth.
The first team to take the second clue at the palace is Rob and Amber.
Clue #2: Teams must go three miles to Pim's Restaurant. After they pull a number, they'll receieve either a 7 AM departure time, a 7:15 AM departure time or a 7:30 AM departure time. All of these times are for the next morning. The first four teams leave at 7 AM, the next four teams leave at 7:15 AM, and the last three teams leave at 7:30 AM.
Rob and Amber comment that they don't want to race against anybody, but say that the other teams will largely differ.
Just after they arrive in Ecuador, Drew apparently injures his shoulder and his knee. He says that he dislocated it, and he cut his knee, as the flowing blood indicates. Later on, his shoulder feels better.
Clue #3: With the attached map, teams must get one of the marked cars out of a parking deck, and drive to Cotopaxi National Park. There, they must find an ecological reserve called Hacienda Yanahurco, where they'll find their next clue. Teams need to be aware that they must enter through the north entrance.
At this point, Oswald and Danny retake the lead. John Vito and Jill are second, while David and Mary Conley are last.
When the first team gets to the clue box, it turns out to be Rob and Amber again! Several teams make the mistake of taking the wrong entrance.
Detour: For the first one of the season, the choices are Wrangle it or Recover It.
Wrangle It: Teams must help some cowboys lasso, groove and tie down one of the wild horses. Then, with the provided tools, they must clip its hooves, and trim its main and tail. Once they have correctly released the horse, they'll get their next clue.
Recover It: One team member must retrieve an historic military uniform. Then, the entire team must look in the field and look for the three things that are missing from that uniform. Once all of that is found, they'll be handed their next clue.
Rob and Amber try the Recover It task first, but have trouble, and quickly go for the horses. They have much more success there. Oswald and Danny also go for the horses.
PIT STOP: Teams must go up a nearby hill to find Mirador Cotopaxi. Like the other legs, the first place team will win a bonus prize they can enjoy after the race. But the last place team faces heavy consquences. In this case, the last place team WILL BE ELIMINATED.
As it turns out, virtually everyone goes for the horses.
First place: Rob and Amber! First prize this race is a trip to Whistler, Canada.
Second: Oswald and Donny.
Third: Terri and Ian. Nice comeback there!
Fourth: Eric and Danielle.
Fifth: Joe and Bill, nicknamed "Team Freedom"!
Sixth: Dustin and Kandace.
Seventh: The only previous winners on this All-Star edition, the Agus.
Eighth: Charla and Mirna, the midget girls. They just beat out the next team.
Ninth: The Conleys, who had been showered with a TON of gifts by Rosie O' Donnell on "The View"!
The last team to move on is.....
...Kevin and Drew, despite the injuries! That means that John Vito and Jill have suffered a MAJOR COLLAPSE, going from first early on to bottoming out at the end! They're the first team out.
The Apprentice: The task this time: Go to a mall and do a promotional event for Priceline.com, which is to sign up customers for a sweepstakes. The team who gets the most people to sign up wins. Team Kinetic has lost only one task this season, and Aimee will still be the project manager for them. When Kinetic was at the mall, some members of the team decide to take a tour of the mall to decide where to place the promotion. As for Team Arrow, their new project manager is Surya. Tim comes up with the idea of the incremental sweepstakes, where a new winner is drawn every 20 minutes. Back to Kinetic, their sweepstakes will give winner (s) a $1,000 vacation, and they decide to set up some computers where people can enter the sweepstakes online. They are also interested in the incremental sweepstakes idea, but decide to announce winners every 30 minutes.
Team Arrow decides to pass fliers about the sweepstakes on people's cars, and also hands them to people in several other places. They find out that Surya has absolutely no clue on what he's doing. Kinetic had some trouble selling the sweepstakes to Spanish-speaking people.
Donald Trump, Jr. is assisting Mr. Trump this week. Results:
Kinetic signed up 326 people for the sweepstakes. Arrow signed up.....
....three hundred.....
....59 people, meaning they win! Surya did indeed do an amazing job, and he retains his Project Manager post for the team. The reward for the team is private surfing lessons from two top pro surfers, and they'll eat at a coastside restaurant.
While surfing, thought, Nicole apparently injures one of her ankles, and she is taken to a medical facility. Tim accompanies her. When the doctor checks her out, it is learned that she likely got stung by a jellyfish! After they get back to the mansion, they start having a love affair by the pool, and their teammates are jealous of them over the situation!
Back with Kinetic, Aimee is blaming Jenn for the team's loss for not properly focusing on their target demographic- Spanish-speaking people. Angela says Aimee had problems delegating with people. Kristine says the team also had time constraints at the terminals as well. Mr. Trump is criticizing her for nor hiring a person that could deal with Spanish-speaking people. Aimee admits sarcastically that Heidi managed the team better.
For the final boardroom, Aimee, Derek and Jenn are up. I think Aimee is safe here. Trump Jr. asks Derek why most of the team thought Aimee wasn't so good as a project manager, and he responds by saying the last two tasks, they were working with a broken project manager. Mr. Trump criticizes Aimee more than Derek on not conveying the parts of the task, most notably for the Spanish. Result:
"MAYBE YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD LEADER SOMEDAY, BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE NOT A LEADER. AIMEE, YOU'RE FIRED."
Aimee is not happy about the result as she is being driven away.
She starts the game with Round 5. Left at this point: $5, $200, $300, $1,000, $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 and $300,000.
Round 5: Clark's first choice is #22....$75,000. Her other pick is #24.....$1,000. New offer is:
$57,000. NO DEAL, so it's one case time.
Her next choice is #15....$100,000. New offer: $51,000. NO DEAL.
She now picks #4.....$300! New offer: $78,000.....
...NO DEAL! She then tries the end of the board, #26....
....$200! New offer: $118,000.....
....DEAL! But she had the $300,000, though.
Now is Tony Kolton's chance. His case choice is #19. His face is said to imitate Babe Ruth's and Fred Flintstone's!
Round 1: Kolton starts off with #1, where the million was last.....$10 this time. Next is #9....$1,000. Third is #21.....$500. Fourth is #26.....$5! Fifth is #6......$100.

RECAP: "1 vs. 100" 2/16
Raul Torres, not whom I labeled in last week's recap, is back with us. He has all of helps left and has $51,000 in the bank at this point. He said that he once ran naked on a highway late in night!!!!
Anyway, back to the game.
He got the $3,000 question right to eliminate....8 for $24,000, and he has $75,000 now. On the $4,000 question, he knew about Nathan's hot dogs to eliminate......19 for $76,000! Total now: $151,000! He got a $5,000 medical question right to eliminate....two for another $10,000, and he now has $161,000. $6,000 question:
Which has the most sheets?
A: A standard ream of paper
B: A Charmin Ultra mega roll 4-pack
C: All the beds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
He asks the mob. The lady at #25 says C. The lady at #49 says B. He then polls the mob on C.....only 15 of the 32 said that. But he goes with it anyway.....
....RIGHT!! 17 missed that for $102,000, meaning he now has $263,000!! But if you had watched a promo for this episode, you knew that already. But can he hang on to that money with one help left? He decides to try the $7,000 question:
What is the capital of the United States?
A: The city whose mayor is Richard Dailey
B: The city whose mayor is Adrian Fenty
C: The city whose mayor is Gavin Newsom
He has no clue whatsoever, so he trusts the mob. Most popular answer: A. The actual answer..........

...B!!!!!! THE BIGGEST LOSS EVER TO THE MOB!!!!!! Five people will split $263,000, meaning each person wll get $52,600!!! Unbelieveable. The question coming into this show was whether or not Torres would hang on to all that money, and we got our answer. NO. Too bad, man.
Casey Smith is next. The mob he's facing is labeled "The Most Hated Mob in America". There are some DMV employees, IRS agents, telemarketers, and some meter maids. First question:
What are you doing if you send a "Dear John" letter to your John Deere?
A: Proposing to your microwave
B: Evicting your radiator
C: Breaking up with your tractor
He decides to trust the mob. Their answer: C, and of course that's right. 3 missed that for $3,000. He made up for that on the second question about NBC talk show hosts, and knocked out 44 to go to $47,000! He got the last question right, but nobody got it wrong.
On the first $2,000 question he got right, he knew about weddings, and knocked out 5 to be more than halfway home towards the million! He now has $57,000. He got the other $2,000 question right to knock out 3 more for another $6,000, giving him $63,000.
He got the $3,000 question right, but knocked out just one, giving him $66,000.
He got the $4,000 math question right about transferring the amount of quarters to get the approximate cost of a Ferrari 599 GTB, which is about $250,000! He knocked out six for $24,000, giving him $90,000.
On the $5,000 question, he knew that the capital of Arizona was named for a mythical bird that rises from its own ashes (Phoenix), and knocked out 2 for $10,000, meaning he has an even 100 grand. $6,000 question:
If you're a Shakespearean actress auditioning for a part, which are you least likely to get?
A: Ophelia
B: Desdemona
C: Rubella
Smith polls the mob on Rubella, and 29 of the remaining 36 said that. He agrees and knocks out 7 for $42,000! He now has $142,000. Despite still having the ask help left, he decides to take home all of that money.
Anyway, back to the game.
He got the $3,000 question right to eliminate....8 for $24,000, and he has $75,000 now. On the $4,000 question, he knew about Nathan's hot dogs to eliminate......19 for $76,000! Total now: $151,000! He got a $5,000 medical question right to eliminate....two for another $10,000, and he now has $161,000. $6,000 question:
Which has the most sheets?
A: A standard ream of paper
B: A Charmin Ultra mega roll 4-pack
C: All the beds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
He asks the mob. The lady at #25 says C. The lady at #49 says B. He then polls the mob on C.....only 15 of the 32 said that. But he goes with it anyway.....
....RIGHT!! 17 missed that for $102,000, meaning he now has $263,000!! But if you had watched a promo for this episode, you knew that already. But can he hang on to that money with one help left? He decides to try the $7,000 question:
What is the capital of the United States?
A: The city whose mayor is Richard Dailey
B: The city whose mayor is Adrian Fenty
C: The city whose mayor is Gavin Newsom
He has no clue whatsoever, so he trusts the mob. Most popular answer: A. The actual answer..........
.....is.........

RECAP: Survivor Episode 2
Someone on the Moto tribe farted!!!! Ravu takes a long time searching their island before eventually finding several pineapples! BTW, Sylvia, who was safe from the last Tribal Council, is on the Ravu tribe now.
Immunity Challenge: The two teams will be using canoes. Along the way, the teams must collect four supply crates while on the way back from their big flag. Once a team is over a crate, one team member must use a rope to tug it and pull it on the canoe. Once all of their crates are on their mat, they can open and untie them to uncover six hole puzzle pieces and a flag. The first to complete the flag puzzle wins Immunity. In addition, they will win fishing supplies, and if Ravu wins, they will get fire since they haven't gotten it already. Also, the winning team will get to choose one of the members of the losing tribe to go to Exile Island.
Moto, on the way collecting crates, have rope problems. Ravu has the lead so far. They get all of their crates on shore first, but will they solve the puzzle first? At this point, Moto has only gotten to the third crate! Ravo has turning problems with the puzzle. Moto tries to come back....
....and they do! They win immunity for the second straight time! Ravu is still without fire, and must go to Tribal Council. Earl was sent to Exile Island, which means he's safe from Tribal Council.
This is the second clue for the first Immunity Idol:
To search with success you must become centered,
Under the highest point through which you have entered.
Ravu complains about their bad luck with the puzzles. It was said that Erica was freaking out during the challenge. That irritated some people, so she's in danger. Mookie, Rita and Chan, voted on in the last Tribal Council, are in possible danger too. Anthony says to Jeff Probst at Tribal Council that the reason they lost was because too many people were trying to help out.
First vote goes to Erica.
Second vote goes to Sylvia.
Third vote goes to Erica.
Fourth vote goes to Sylvia.
Fifth vote goes to Erica.
Sixth vote goes to Erica....
...and for Erica, it goes downhill from there, as she gets the most votes and is going home.

DOND's second time slot to move to Sundays in March
I have just received word from Buzzerblog that the other regular time slot of "Deal or No Deal" besides the big Monday one is moving again. Beginning March 4th, the show's second time slot will shift to Sundays at 9 PM, facing "Desperate Housewives". "The Apprentice: LA" will move to 10 PM at that time.
2/16/2007 Results- The Crowning of Big Ben?
TPIR: Our first player today is Scott Tenant. He plays for a barrel sauna in Flip Flop. Board:
2554
A flip means a guess of $5,254. A flop means a guess of $2,545, A flip-flop means a guess of $5,245. His guess is $5,254, and I'm not too sure about this....it's $5,245, which I was leaning towards. Tenant hit the reveal button himself, because Bob didn't want to cut himself like the last time.
Georgilyn Lucinard then makes history. She is the first to play MORE OR LESS for a treadmill marked at $750, a crib marked at $3,100, a new washer/dryer marked at $2,100, AND a 2007 Ford Fusion S (Std., ALB, Heater, Prot)! The game is simple. For each of the first three prizes, she must simply decide whether the ARP is higher or lower than the posted price. For the treadmill, Lucinard says more.....right! It's $1,299. For the crib, she then says less.....right! It's $2,049. Now for the washer/dryer, and she says more.....but it's less. The ARP was $1,668.
But she does win the first two prizes.
Brenda Apellado then plays Half Off. First pair of items are a bank marked at $15 and a mashed potato maker marked at $70. Her pick is the bank....$30! Next pair of items are a teapot marked at $16 and a baseball display marked at $30. She picks the baseball, but that's still $30.
Final pair of items are a toaster marked at $39 and a compass marked at $20. She picks the compass....$40! The remaining boxes are 3, 6, 9 and 15. She picks #15......no money. It was in #6.
The first player of the day gets into the Showcase.
Michael Swan then plays Check Out for a living room and a globe. The products are frozen corn, salsa, potato chips, Gold Bond cream and storage bags. He wanted to win a globe on this show; now is his chance. He guesses $2.29 for the corn, $2.50 for the salsa, $1.69 for the chips, $7 for the cream and $4.49 for the bags. The total guess is $17.97. If the actual total of the prices adds up to anywhere between $15.97 to $19.97, he wins. The ARPs: $1.69 for the corn, $2.69 for the salsa, 79 cents for the chips, $4.89 for the cream and $5.99 for the bags. That adds up to.... $16.05, meaning he wins by eight cents! First winner today!
Susan Boyd then plays One Away for a Pontiac G6 (Std., Pref.). Wrong price is $28,586. Her first guess is $19,475.....four numbers right. She originally says $19,495 for the second guess, but changes to $19,675 and wins!
John Woss is last to play One Right Price for trips to Montral and Mazatlan! The One Right Price today is $4,040, and he thinks that's the cost of the trip to Montreal....it is! Mexico was $3,016, and we have a perfect second half!
SSD2: Swan spins 50....and 15 for 65. Woss spins 20....and 80 for $1,000! Boyd spins 75....and goes over. Woss doesn't win any more money, but he is in the Showcase.
First Showcase features advice from Inga the Investor. First, she displays the status chart of Fallmart, which is a store that offers trips in the fall season to New England. Second, we have B.F. Goodhitch, which is a company that excels in making a new mini sleeping trailer. And finally, we have Ramazon.com, which is an online store that offers, what else? A new 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 ST Regular Cab (Std., AT, SXT, Bedliner)! Woss bids $37,000 on that, and I hate that bid. For Tenant, we have a dining room, a $1,000 AMC Theatres gift card, and a new Dodge Magnum (Std., SRadio, Organizer)! He bids $20,100, and I think he's won.
His ARP: $29,995, a difference of $9,895. ARP for Woss: $38,736, meaning he wins after all, sending Tenant home with parting gifts, and winning Woss $47,791 in cash and prizes!
Family Feud: The Olivias family is back for the third time to face the Michies. BTW, in the audience are members from the Navy and the Marines! The Michies score 71 first on creatures who have been known to have been maneaters. They get another 86 on sentimental occasions.

Lorrie's answer of Stardust did not make the board, which shocked me. The challengers play.
Jacob says the MGM Grand.....#5 (6). Anthony says New York, New York....no. Andy says Caesar's Palace, and that's #2 (16). Josh says The Belagio....bottom answer (6). Back to Jere, who says the Mandalay Bay.....not there. Jacob says the Tropicana Hotel, once home of the show "Gambit"...NO!! Darn. For the champion steal, George says The Ponds.....NO, so the challengers are now up to 247. #3 was Sands (15) and #4 was The Mirage.

WOF: It's time to wrap up Country Music Stars Week. It has been a great week so far. For the contestants alone this week so far, they have all combined for a total this week of a little over $300,000. We're guaranteed to have the second-highest weekly total of the season, but if this episode goes as well as the previous three, a new season high will be set. Our last batch of stars are Keech Rainwater, Terri Clark and Trent Tomlinson. Teaming up with Rainwater is Kisha Harvey, Lisa Prennens is with Tomlinson, and Tom McTow is with Clark. The prize offered starting in Round 1 is a trip to the CMA Music Festival worth six large. The team in the middle got the $2,000 Toss-Up to start a Before & After puzzle. After Rainwater's team calls the I, we have...
_ _ _ R L _ T T E' S

$10,000 Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Show Biz. Tomlinson's team picks up the Wild Card right off the bat. After they call the E's, we have...

R E _ _

The team in the middle calls the L, which is the last letter of the first word, but they can't solve. Rainwater's team calls an M, but it's a dud. Over to the leaders, who call two S's, but can't solve.
After the team in the middle calls the T's, we have...
R E _ L
E S T _ T E
T R _ N S _ _ T _ _ N
...and they solve REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION to win the match with $11,500! Rainwater and Tomlinson each get $10,000 for their charities.
Let's see if we can end this great week with a fitting bang. They spin the comma. Category is Phrase. Starting with:
N _ T _ _ _
_ E
I know what the second word is. They need help in that first word. Choices are M, C, G and O and we have...
N O T _ _ _
M E
We were all stumped- it was NOTIFY ME. They don't win $50,000 here. But the contestants still did great this week- they won $334,803 for themselves, and with the celebrities, $402,380 was raised for the charities! The stay in Charleston wraps up next week.
Jeopardy!: The only question coming into the other half of the Teen Tournament finals tonight- will Big Ben, Ben Schenkel, win more than $75,000? Let's find out. David Walter finds the Daily Double as the first category is out- U.S.A. He missed it on a $1,000 bet and fell to negative territory. He made a nice recovery and leads this game so far with $2,400, with the other two at $1,600 each heading into the first break.
Walter gets on fire late in the round, and at the end of the round leads this day with $8,200. Big Ben has $4,000 and Firke has $2,400.
Walter builds on his lead in Double Jeopardy! early on. One of the categories is Top Models, which gives some names of cars, and the players must identify the automaker who makes those.
Schenkel gets on fire in the middle of the round, and finds the first Daily Double in Literature. So far in this game, he has $11,600. Walter has $19,400, and Firke has $6,800. Big Ben bets six grand:
Dickens divided this book into staves instead of chapters; Stave IV is called "The Last of the Spirits".
"What is The Great Expectations?".....NO. What is "A Christmas Carol"? Now he's not as secure as he was earlier. Walter gets to over $20,000, but Schenkel finds the other Daily Double in ______ & ________. With $6,800 at this point, he bets $5,000:
Covert operations are sometimes referred to as this pair; one a piece of clothing, the other, a weapon.
"What is cloak....and gun?" NO WAY. It's cloak and dagger. Now he may be about to blow that huge lead he had coming into tonight. He then misses the $2,000 clue in that caegory to go $200 in debt! He gets the $400 clue in Top Models to get out of the hole. At the end of the round, he only has $1,400. Walter has $23,400, and Firke has 10 large.
All-important FJ! category: Greek Mythology.
BUT, Alex Trebek announces because of how good this year's teen pool was, and because there were several others who didn't quite make the cut for this particular tournament, there will be another Teen Tournament in July! Wow. Anyway, the final clue:
Fittingly, the name of this titan may be derived from a word meaning "To bear" or "To Support".
Big Ben has "Who is Atlas?" and also put "Congrats, David!!". Uh, sir, don't assume anything.
His response is right, and he doubles up, meaning the worst he can do is take home $42,800.
Firke has that too and risks $9,997, giving him a final total of $25,460. Now, let's see if Big Ben knew something we don't know. Walter has....
...the right response. If he bet at least $5,201, he is indeed the tournament champion. He bet....
....five thousand.....
....three hundred- by $100, HE HAS WON $75,000!!!! I can't believe Big Ben blew that huge lead! Oh well- he still has $42,800 to take home. Firke takes home $25,460.
2554
A flip means a guess of $5,254. A flop means a guess of $2,545, A flip-flop means a guess of $5,245. His guess is $5,254, and I'm not too sure about this....it's $5,245, which I was leaning towards. Tenant hit the reveal button himself, because Bob didn't want to cut himself like the last time.
Georgilyn Lucinard then makes history. She is the first to play MORE OR LESS for a treadmill marked at $750, a crib marked at $3,100, a new washer/dryer marked at $2,100, AND a 2007 Ford Fusion S (Std., ALB, Heater, Prot)! The game is simple. For each of the first three prizes, she must simply decide whether the ARP is higher or lower than the posted price. For the treadmill, Lucinard says more.....right! It's $1,299. For the crib, she then says less.....right! It's $2,049. Now for the washer/dryer, and she says more.....but it's less. The ARP was $1,668.
But she does win the first two prizes.
Brenda Apellado then plays Half Off. First pair of items are a bank marked at $15 and a mashed potato maker marked at $70. Her pick is the bank....$30! Next pair of items are a teapot marked at $16 and a baseball display marked at $30. She picks the baseball, but that's still $30.
Final pair of items are a toaster marked at $39 and a compass marked at $20. She picks the compass....$40! The remaining boxes are 3, 6, 9 and 15. She picks #15......no money. It was in #6.
The first player of the day gets into the Showcase.
Michael Swan then plays Check Out for a living room and a globe. The products are frozen corn, salsa, potato chips, Gold Bond cream and storage bags. He wanted to win a globe on this show; now is his chance. He guesses $2.29 for the corn, $2.50 for the salsa, $1.69 for the chips, $7 for the cream and $4.49 for the bags. The total guess is $17.97. If the actual total of the prices adds up to anywhere between $15.97 to $19.97, he wins. The ARPs: $1.69 for the corn, $2.69 for the salsa, 79 cents for the chips, $4.89 for the cream and $5.99 for the bags. That adds up to.... $16.05, meaning he wins by eight cents! First winner today!
Susan Boyd then plays One Away for a Pontiac G6 (Std., Pref.). Wrong price is $28,586. Her first guess is $19,475.....four numbers right. She originally says $19,495 for the second guess, but changes to $19,675 and wins!
John Woss is last to play One Right Price for trips to Montral and Mazatlan! The One Right Price today is $4,040, and he thinks that's the cost of the trip to Montreal....it is! Mexico was $3,016, and we have a perfect second half!
SSD2: Swan spins 50....and 15 for 65. Woss spins 20....and 80 for $1,000! Boyd spins 75....and goes over. Woss doesn't win any more money, but he is in the Showcase.
First Showcase features advice from Inga the Investor. First, she displays the status chart of Fallmart, which is a store that offers trips in the fall season to New England. Second, we have B.F.

His ARP: $29,995, a difference of $9,895. ARP for Woss: $38,736, meaning he wins after all, sending Tenant home with parting gifts, and winning Woss $47,791 in cash and prizes!

We were all stumped- it was NOTIFY ME. They don't win $50,000 here. But the contestants still did great this week- they won $334,803 for themselves, and with the celebrities, $402,380 was raised for the charities! The stay in Charleston wraps up next week.
Jeopardy!: The only question coming into the other half of the Teen Tournament finals tonight- will Big Ben, Ben Schenkel, win more than $75,000? Let's find out. David Walter finds the Daily Double as the first category is out- U.S.A. He missed it on a $1,000 bet and fell to negative territory. He made a nice recovery and leads this game so far with $2,400, with the other two at $1,600 each heading into the first break.
Walter gets on fire late in the round, and at the end of the round leads this day with $8,200. Big Ben has $4,000 and Firke has $2,400.
Walter builds on his lead in Double Jeopardy! early on. One of the categories is Top Models, which gives some names of cars, and the players must identify the automaker who makes those.
Schenkel gets on fire in the middle of the round, and finds the first Daily Double in Literature. So far in this game, he has $11,600. Walter has $19,400, and Firke has $6,800. Big Ben bets six grand:
Dickens divided this book into staves instead of chapters; Stave IV is called "The Last of the Spirits".
"What is The Great Expectations?".....NO. What is "A Christmas Carol"? Now he's not as secure as he was earlier. Walter gets to over $20,000, but Schenkel finds the other Daily Double in ______ & ________. With $6,800 at this point, he bets $5,000:
Covert operations are sometimes referred to as this pair; one a piece of clothing, the other, a weapon.
"What is cloak....and gun?" NO WAY. It's cloak and dagger. Now he may be about to blow that huge lead he had coming into tonight. He then misses the $2,000 clue in that caegory to go $200 in debt! He gets the $400 clue in Top Models to get out of the hole. At the end of the round, he only has $1,400. Walter has $23,400, and Firke has 10 large.
All-important FJ! category: Greek Mythology.
BUT, Alex Trebek announces because of how good this year's teen pool was, and because there were several others who didn't quite make the cut for this particular tournament, there will be another Teen Tournament in July! Wow. Anyway, the final clue:
Fittingly, the name of this titan may be derived from a word meaning "To bear" or "To Support".
Big Ben has "Who is Atlas?" and also put "Congrats, David!!". Uh, sir, don't assume anything.
His response is right, and he doubles up, meaning the worst he can do is take home $42,800.
Firke has that too and risks $9,997, giving him a final total of $25,460. Now, let's see if Big Ben knew something we don't know. Walter has....
...the right response. If he bet at least $5,201, he is indeed the tournament champion. He bet....
....five thousand.....
....three hundred- by $100, HE HAS WON $75,000!!!! I can't believe Big Ben blew that huge lead! Oh well- he still has $42,800 to take home. Firke takes home $25,460.

RECAP: Nashville Star 2007- Top 5, Take 2
Cowboy Troy, one of the show's hosts, does the opening performance!
Whitney Duncan is first. She sings "When a Man Loves a Woman". She did OK with this. I gave her a 6. Queen Anastasia says that was her best performance of the season, and suggested to her that she stop reading blogs. Blake says she had a unique ability to have people arguing about her. Randy says she had a lot of grace and dignity with that performance, and said that song might take her to the next level. Duncan admitted to Jewel that she wanted to do that song on the third show.
Second is Zac Hacker. His performance lacked energy. I gave him a 4. Blake says he didn't really hurt himself with that performance, but he wanted him to step it up. Randy says he still feels what he's doing, despite the song choice. Queen Anastasia says she agrees with Randy that his soul was his strongest point, but said he was swimming in shallow waters.
Third is David St. Romain. He was only slightly better than Zac. I gave him a 5.
Blake says he's still not hearing someone blow the audience away tonight. Queen Anastasia says that the selected songs for tonight aren't impressive enough to win people competitions like this. Randy says he was disappointed.
After a group performance by all of the remaining contestants, Joshua Stevens performs.
He looked like he had fun, but he has the same problem from the previous two singers. I also gave him a 5. Randy noticed the problems Stevens had with his guitar, and credited him for continuing to play, and was very impressed with him tonight. Queen Anastasia says what he did in the audience was awkward, but thought the ending was strong. Blake says he can sing better than that.
Angela Hacker is last. This was her worst performance this season, but she was still solid. I gave her a 7. Queen Anastasia thought that song was not like her. Blake agreed with Anastasia. Randy also agreed.
Now, for my scores prior to the elimination:
Angela Hacker- 56
David St. Romain- 45
Zac Hacker- 40
Joshua Stevens and Whitney Duncan- 38 each
The one person out of the running right now is.....
...Whitney Duncan. Should've been eliminated after that AWFUL performance weeks ago.

2/15/2007 Results
TPIR: Jennifer Lenardi is first today. After winning a $3,665 clock in Contestant's Row, she tries to win a cruise to Alaska in Freeze Frame. She originally stops the board at $7,187, but she says it was an accident. So, for the first time in this particular game's history, the board is started again! She eventually stops for good at $4,534. ARP: $4,534! Good thing she changed her mind!
Robert Marlow is second to play Let Em' Roll for a Chrysler PT Cruiser (Std., AC) worth $17,055. He loves this game. He messes up on the second grocery item, so he only has two rolls to work with. He gets three cars and $2,500 on roll one. The other roll gives him.....$1,500, and that's what he wins.
Jose Linendo, a sailor, is third. He plays Plinko. First small item is a pitcher, and the wrong price is $86. He picks the 6.....$36! Next is a CD player, and the wrong price is $23. He picks the 3....$33! Next is a media player marked at $25. He picks the 5, and it's $95! Finally, we have a mini video camera marked at $49, and he picks the 4, but it's $79. He has four chips to work with. The first chip lands in nothing. The second chip lands in nothing too. The third chip lands in NOTHING too! Could this man be one of the rare people to win no money in this game? The last chip lands in.....
...$500.
SSD1: Our unlucky Plinko player gets 20....and 35 for 55 cents. The Let Em' Roll fan spins 50....and 70 to go over. Lenardi spins 35 cents....and 20 to force a spinoff. The man spins 80 cents, while the lady spins 55, so the man is in the Showcase!
Before the next contestant Comes on Down, while talking about "Happy Gilmore", Bob Barker mentions that he is retiring soon from TPIR, and because of that, if he wanted to, he would pose NUDE in scenes from "Happy Gilmore"!!!! Fourth is Robyn Taschell, who plays One Wrong Price for luggage marked at $900, chairs marked at $2,820, and a gas grill marked at $450. Gee, I wonder which price is wrong. The lady picks the grill, which actually is $1,200, so she wins!
We have a lady named Gay next. You read that right. She plays Dice Game for a Chevy Cobalt (Std., Heater, PProt). First number is 1. She first rolls a 1 for the second number, which is wrong, but that's a freebie. It's 4. For the third number, she rolls a 6, which is wrong, but we have another freebie. That's 2. For the fourth number, she rolls another 1, which is not it, but another freebie is here! That's 3. For the last number, she rolls a 3, which is not it. She says higher on that and wins! ARP: $14,234.
Lynette is last to play Take Two for golf equipment, crystal candle sticks, a washer/dryer, and golf equipment. The target is $1,991. First picks are the golf equipment and the washer/dryer. The golf stuff are $1,440. The washer/dryer must be $551 to win. It's.....$1,768, so she's way over. Don't keep the washer/dryer, my dear. She keeps the golf clubs and goes for the candlesticks. Again, they must be $551 to win. They're....$749, so she loses. The $551 item was the yard tools.
SSD2: Lynette spins 20....and 35 for 55 cents. Robyn spins 60 cents and stays. Gay spins 30....
and 65 to win with 95 cents!
First Showcase has a living room and a pair of motorcycles. The sailor gets this and bids $250,000 (!!!) orginally, but he eventually settles on $60,000, which is a STUPID BID (He's over, ARP is $20,685). As long as Gay isn't stupid, she'll win stuff from the Lost and Found Showcase controlled by Lanisha.
First, she finds an audio cable, which can help those who can't hear music from a new guitar.
Second, she finds a towel, which was accidentally left behind one who was sweating after working out on a new home gym. And finally, she finds a tow rope, which might be useful to pull a new ski boat! She bids $1 and wins that $28,898 Showcase, and wins $43,731 in prizes!
WWTBAM: Returning today is Jeff Love. He used the audience lifeline yesterday, and is starting with the $16,000 question today, not the $4,000 question as I noted yesterday. My apologies. For $16,000:
Eccentric rapper Russell Jones, also known as 0DB and Big Baby Jesus, was a founding member of hip-hop group?
A: Naughty By Nature
B: 2 Live Crew
C: Geto Boys
D: Wu-Tang Clan
He calls Bobby (!!), who is pretty sure the answer is D. He agrees with that....and is right! For $25,000:
The area of North Carolins known as the "Research Triangle" is delineated by Durham, Raliegh and what other city?
A: Chapel Hill
B: Asheville
C: Charlotte
D: Greensboro
He uses the 50:50, leaving the top two. He read about said information a while back. He is torn between the two choices, and eventually says Asheville.....NO. That sends him home with $1,000.
Next is Shayne Gilpin. For $4,000:
Which of the following has NEVER been the name of an electronic device released by Apple?
A: iPod Mini
B: iPod Pocket
C: iPod Shuffle
D: iPod Photo
He asks the audience- 61% say B, 24% say D and 13% say C. He says B and is right. For $16,000:
Ballistic nylon is a durable fabric commonly used to make which of the following?
A: Luggage
B: Baseball gloves
C: Carpeting
D: Bed sheets
He took a risk on the previous question by not using a lifeline. He again doesn't use a lifeline and says C......should've used a lifeline here. Actual answer was luggage, so he also goes home with $1,000.
Our last player is Chris Hyatt, who is majoring in French. I do NOT want to do that, even though I have taken two years of French in high school. Last question of the day, for $4,000:
Employed by Rolling Stone magazine for over a decade, Annie Lelbovitz is best known for her work by what?
A: Film critic
B: Photographer
C: Music critic
D: Cartoonist
He asks the audience, and 92% say B, which is what he was leaning towards. He agrees.....and will be back tomorrow!
WOF: We're in the middle of what has been a rockin' Country Music Stars Week. Tonight's stars are Michael Britt, Lorrie Morgan and Mark Willis. Teaming up with Britt is Danielle Robinson. Teaming up with Willis is Whitney Holcomb, and teaming up with the lady is Bill Halke, who wants to be a future member of the U.S. Army. Britt's team won the first two Toss-Ups for $3,000, and the right to start Round 1, which has a category of Same Name. After they call the E, we have...
S T R _ _ _ _ R R _
&
T R _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _
I know this already. They call the Y for $450, a B for $800, and call three A's. They call one M for another $400, and two F's for $1,800, and solve STRAWBERRY & TRAFFIC JAM for $7,150, taking them to $10,150!
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. After Willis's team calls the I's, we have...
T I _ E
_ _ I E S
_ _ E N
_ _ _' R E
_ _ _ I N _
_ _ N
I know this now. They call the M for $600, then call the F's for the $1,000 TicketsNow.com gift certificate. But they get the Bankrupt. The team in the middle also gets the same fate. The dominating team so far calls two H's for $1,000, and then hit Jackpot! They call an L for $500, and win the $8,500 Jackpot with TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN! In addition, they also won a trip to Mexico! New total: $26,150!
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Event. When the team in the middle calls four L's, they pick up a trip to California, and we have...
W R I T I N G

T _ L L- A L L
_ _ _ _ I R
I think I know this now. They call two M's for $1,600, and solve WRITING A TELL-ALL MEMOIR to win $3,100 and the trip!
But Britt's team, the hot team tonight, solves FARMER'S DAUGHTER to go to $29,150. Speed-Up Round category is Around the House, and consonants are worth $1,300. After they call the H's, we have...
_ _ _ _ T R _ _
T _ _ T H _ R _ S H
...and they solve ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH to add $5,200 and win with $34,350! The middle guy has $7,773 in cash and prizes. The other contestant gets $1,000, and the two celebrities not named Michael Britt will get $10,000 each for their charities.
The cars at stake this week are a BMW X3 and a Porsche Boxster (won yesterday). They spin the S in CASH. Category is People. Starting with:
_ R _ _ _ L _ _ N S
I thought it was BROOKLYNS at first, but it can't be. Britt and Robinson call B, C, K and A and get....
B R A _ _ L _ A N S
Now I think it's BRAZILIANS....and so do they! Only $25,000 here, but when we add it to their big maingame haul, Robinson has $59,350 in cash and prizes! And Britt has that amount all in cash for his charity!
Jeopardy!: Our three finalists in the 2007 Teen Tournament are David Walter, Ben Schenkel and Stephen Fritz! This is a two-day final, like most of this show's tournaments are. Unlike the previous rounds, they are playing for real money now. Whatever they earn today will be added to what they earn on Day 2. The one with the highest score after Day 2 wins $75,000, or if they're lucky enough, more than that. Runner-up gets at least $25,000, and the 3rd place man gets at least $15,000. Firke has the early lead with $3,200 heading into the first break.
In the middle of the round, the match gets even tighter, as all players at one point have at least $3,000. The players at this point are randomly searching for that Daily Double. Walter eventually is the lucky one to find the Daily Double under the $400 clue of A Little Lit. He leads with $7,600. Schenkel has $3,800, and Firke has $3,200. The leader bets two large:
As "1984" ends, Winston has been taught to love him.
"Who is Big Brother?"....right to go to $9,600! He adds another $200 before the round ends, and he has $9,800. Schenkel has $4,400, and Firke has $3,400.
The leader nearly doubles his total near the middle of Double Jeopardy! Schenkel hits the first Daily Double in Let's Check Out Some Colleges. He has $4,800 at this point, and tries to double:
Founded by French missionaries in 1842, this Indiana university first admitted women in 1972, so now you can go, girl!
"What is Notre Dame?"....DOUBLE! $9,600 now. But he then finds the other Daily Double right away in Three of a Kind! That doesn't happen very often! At this point, he bets $8,000:
Hammurabi, Morse, Napoleonic
"What are codes?"....RIGHT! He trails by only $600 now. After getting the $2,000 clue in The Birds and the Bees, he takes the lead with $21,200! But he messes up on the $1,600 clue there, so Walter has the lead back. After he gets the $1,200 clue in Words in America (a category about the song "My Country..."), he gets the lead back with the same he got to take the lead a few clues earlier- $21,200! At the end of that round, he still leads with $22,800, but Walter has $22,200. Firke has $11,000.
FJ! category of Day 1: 19th Century Men.
In 1813, Louisana governor William Clairborne put a $500 bounty on him; he responded by offering one for the governor's head.
Firke says "Who is Aaron Burr?"....NO. He loses $5,537, and is down to $5,463. Walter has "Who is Jesse James?"....NO. He loses $8,000, and is down to $14,200. Big Ben has "Who is Jean Lafitte?"....never heard of him, but THAT'S RIGHT! And he bet $17,200, so he after Day 1 has $40,000!! Thus, it's possible that he may win more than $75,000 tomorrow! Will he? See you then!
Robert Marlow is second to play Let Em' Roll for a Chrysler PT Cruiser (Std., AC) worth $17,055. He loves this game. He messes up on the second grocery item, so he only has two rolls to work with. He gets three cars and $2,500 on roll one. The other roll gives him.....$1,500, and that's what he wins.
Jose Linendo, a sailor, is third. He plays Plinko. First small item is a pitcher, and the wrong price is $86. He picks the 6.....$36! Next is a CD player, and the wrong price is $23. He picks the 3....$33! Next is a media player marked at $25. He picks the 5, and it's $95! Finally, we have a mini video camera marked at $49, and he picks the 4, but it's $79. He has four chips to work with. The first chip lands in nothing. The second chip lands in nothing too. The third chip lands in NOTHING too! Could this man be one of the rare people to win no money in this game? The last chip lands in.....
...$500.
SSD1: Our unlucky Plinko player gets 20....and 35 for 55 cents. The Let Em' Roll fan spins 50....and 70 to go over. Lenardi spins 35 cents....and 20 to force a spinoff. The man spins 80 cents, while the lady spins 55, so the man is in the Showcase!
Before the next contestant Comes on Down, while talking about "Happy Gilmore", Bob Barker mentions that he is retiring soon from TPIR, and because of that, if he wanted to, he would pose NUDE in scenes from "Happy Gilmore"!!!! Fourth is Robyn Taschell, who plays One Wrong Price for luggage marked at $900, chairs marked at $2,820, and a gas grill marked at $450. Gee, I wonder which price is wrong. The lady picks the grill, which actually is $1,200, so she wins!
We have a lady named Gay next. You read that right. She plays Dice Game for a Chevy Cobalt (Std., Heater, PProt). First number is 1. She first rolls a 1 for the second number, which is wrong, but that's a freebie. It's 4. For the third number, she rolls a 6, which is wrong, but we have another freebie. That's 2. For the fourth number, she rolls another 1, which is not it, but another freebie is here! That's 3. For the last number, she rolls a 3, which is not it. She says higher on that and wins! ARP: $14,234.

The golf stuff are $1,440. The washer/dryer must be $551 to win. It's.....$1,768, so she's way over. Don't keep the washer/dryer, my dear. She keeps the golf clubs and goes for the candlesticks. Again, they must be $551 to win. They're....$749, so she loses. The $551 item was the yard tools.
SSD2: Lynette spins 20....and 35 for 55 cents. Robyn spins 60 cents and stays. Gay spins 30....
and 65 to win with 95 cents!
First Showcase has a living room and a pair of motorcycles. The sailor gets this and bids $250,000 (!!!) orginally, but he eventually settles on $60,000, which is a STUPID BID (He's over, ARP is $20,685).

I know this now. They call the M for $600, then call the F's for the $1,000 TicketsNow.com gift certificate. But they get the Bankrupt. The team in the middle also gets the same fate. The dominating team so far calls two H's for $1,000, and then hit Jackpot! They call an L for $500, and win the $8,500 Jackpot with TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN! In addition, they also won a trip to Mexico! New total: $26,150!
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Event. When the team in the middle calls four L's, they pick up a trip to California, and we have...

I think I know this now. They call two M's for $1,600, and solve WRITING A TELL-ALL MEMOIR to win $3,100 and the trip!
But Britt's team, the hot team tonight, solves FARMER'S DAUGHTER to go to $29,150. Speed-Up Round category is Around the House, and consonants are worth $1,300. After they call the H's, we have...
_ _ _ _ T R _ _

...and they solve ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH to add $5,200 and win with $34,350! The middle guy has $7,773 in cash and prizes. The other contestant gets $1,000, and the two celebrities not named Michael Britt will get $10,000 each for their charities.
The cars at stake this week are a BMW X3 and a Porsche Boxster (won yesterday). They spin the S in CASH. Category is People. Starting with:

I thought it was BROOKLYNS at first, but it can't be. Britt and Robinson call B, C, K and A and get....
B R A _ _ L _ A N S
Now I think it's BRAZILIANS....and so do they! Only $25,000 here, but when we add it to their big maingame haul, Robinson has $59,350 in cash and prizes! And Britt has that amount all in cash for his charity!
Jeopardy!: Our three finalists in the 2007 Teen Tournament are David Walter, Ben Schenkel and Stephen Fritz! This is a two-day final, like most of this show's tournaments are. Unlike the previous rounds, they are playing for real money now. Whatever they earn today will be added to what they earn on Day 2. The one with the highest score after Day 2 wins $75,000, or if they're lucky enough, more than that. Runner-up gets at least $25,000, and the 3rd place man gets at least $15,000. Firke has the early lead with $3,200 heading into the first break.
In the middle of the round, the match gets even tighter, as all players at one point have at least $3,000. The players at this point are randomly searching for that Daily Double. Walter eventually is the lucky one to find the Daily Double under the $400 clue of A Little Lit. He leads with $7,600. Schenkel has $3,800, and Firke has $3,200. The leader bets two large:
As "1984" ends, Winston has been taught to love him.
"Who is Big Brother?"....right to go to $9,600! He adds another $200 before the round ends, and he has $9,800. Schenkel has $4,400, and Firke has $3,400.
The leader nearly doubles his total near the middle of Double Jeopardy! Schenkel hits the first Daily Double in Let's Check Out Some Colleges. He has $4,800 at this point, and tries to double:
Founded by French missionaries in 1842, this Indiana university first admitted women in 1972, so now you can go, girl!
"What is Notre Dame?"....DOUBLE! $9,600 now. But he then finds the other Daily Double right away in Three of a Kind! That doesn't happen very often! At this point, he bets $8,000:
Hammurabi, Morse, Napoleonic
"What are codes?"....RIGHT! He trails by only $600 now. After getting the $2,000 clue in The Birds and the Bees, he takes the lead with $21,200! But he messes up on the $1,600 clue there, so Walter has the lead back. After he gets the $1,200 clue in Words in America (a category about the song "My Country..."), he gets the lead back with the same he got to take the lead a few clues earlier- $21,200! At the end of that round, he still leads with $22,800, but Walter has $22,200. Firke has $11,000.
FJ! category of Day 1: 19th Century Men.
In 1813, Louisana governor William Clairborne put a $500 bounty on him; he responded by offering one for the governor's head.
Firke says "Who is Aaron Burr?"....NO. He loses $5,537, and is down to $5,463. Walter has "Who is Jesse James?"....NO. He loses $8,000, and is down to $14,200. Big Ben has "Who is Jean Lafitte?"....never heard of him, but THAT'S RIGHT! And he bet $17,200, so he after Day 1 has $40,000!! Thus, it's possible that he may win more than $75,000 tomorrow! Will he? See you then!

RECAP: "Beauty and The Geek" $250,000 FINALS!!!!
Before the final round commences, each person will share a hobby with their partner.
Scooter loves to play tennis, so she plays it with Megan! Then, Megan shows Scooter how to dance! Megan is said to have danced for seven years.
Nate shows Cecille his house band! They play rock songs!
The teams are then told that there are no questions or challenges at this point. Instead, the other teams that were eliminated will all decide as one group on which of the two teams made the greatest transformation, and thus win $250,000. I want Nate and Cecille to win.
Each of the eliminated people will vote once. The first team to score seven votes wins.
First vote, from JennyLee, goes to....Nate and Cecille!
Second vote, from Niels, goes to.....Scooter and Megan! This is because he felt Cecille manipulated and hurt people.
Third vote goes to.....Scooter and Megan!
Fourth vote goes to.....Scooter and Megan!
Fifth vote, from Erin, goes to.....Scooter and Megan! She felt that the team got along together so much.
Sixth vote, from Drew, goes to....Scooter and Megan! Cecille's comments to others earlier on may have very well come back to haunt her and Nate.
Seventh vote, from Andrea, goes to....Scooter and Megan! If they get one more vote, the money's all theirs.
Eighth vote, from Matt, goes to.....
...Nate and Cecille, so they're still alive! Ninth vote goes to....

RECAP: American Idol in Hollywood Part I
Starting off is Jory Steinberg, who was said to have been one of the judges' favorites. "I'm Out of Love" by Anastasia. I liked it!
Geri Guyer was good but not great.
Kelly Caruso was a bit "eh" to me.
Lisa Morrison did a good job.
Christen Itam sang "Hero" too flat for my tastes.
Jeromisha Lemar was just OK for me.
These six girls were part of the first group....but the judges send ALL of them home. Ouch.
Perla Meneses sang "Hips Don't Lie". It was good, but the way she sung it may throw the judges off.
Rachel Jenkins was almost perfect with her performance. But she's out, while Meneses goes through to the next round.
16-year-old Bailey Brown was just OK for me, but she still moves on to the next round!
Nicole Turner was a bit shaky for me, but was OK. But she is out. Her mother and her wanted to know why she was cut, with no avail. Paula calls Simon obnoxious.
It was said that there are far less male contestants on the show this season than the girls.
Brian Miller did a superior job! But did the judges send him through?
Jarrod Fowler sang "You Raise Me Up", and did a very good job.
Matt Sato was a bit flat for me. But he and two others advance- none of which include Miller or Fowler. Rats!
92 people overall made it through to the next part of the Hollywood auditions, which is the group round. The contestants will be divided into groups. They will sing songs together. At
the end, the judges will send the groups to designated rooms, and two rooms of people out of three rooms will go through to the final part of the Hollywood auditions- where the Top 24 is decided.
People can choose anyone they want to form a group. There is a "cowboy trio" like the one from last season!
Jose Laguna forgot his words while singing with his group on the stage and was instantly sent home. Mercifully, Sato was sent home after singing poorly.
One lady group had some problems getting along. Jessica Gordon was flat. In fact, all of her group was TERRIBLE!! But it was Perla Meneses who was sent home. She should have been sent home much earlier than when she did.
A group of four guys sang "How Deep is Your Love", and I thought they were near-perfect! They all moved on to the next part.
Robyn Troup, I do believe, was the girl that sang with Justin Timberlake at the Grammys last Sunday. Sundance Head was BRILLIANT with his part of the performance! Only he went through to the next part from that group, while the ladies went home.
Baylie Brown forgot some of the words to her part of the song!!! She's out of here.
At the end of this phase, the people will be seperated into three rooms. Two rooms of people, making up 40 people, will move one step closer to the Top 24.
In Room One, the judges say....
..."Congratulations." They're going on!
The other room moving on is.....
...Room 2! Those in Room 3 are out. The Top 24 is determined on the next show.
Geri Guyer was good but not great.

"1 vs. 100" on hiatus when "Identity" returns
According to Buzzerblog, "Identity" will return on March 16th at 9 PM. The following week thereafter, it will air in the current "1 vs. 100" timeslot, 8 PM on Fridays. That means that "1 vs. 100" at that point will be on hiatus. No word yet on if "1 vs. 100" will be back at all after this point.
2/14/2007 Results- HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Family Feud: On their third day, the Gingras family, with $20,660 to their credit, defend against the Olivas family. The challengers score first with 59 on things that can wake up faster than you do. The champs fire back with 47 on a Super Match question asked to 100 men: I'm too sexy for my _______ (shirt was #1).
Double: After you max out your credit card, what do you do next? Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3-
#4- Stop buying/don't use card (12, Brian)
#5- Use cash (8, Lonnie)
Before Brian answered, it looks like John accidentally knocked down the left buzz-in microphone! Funny! Anyway, the champs play. Erika says get another credit card....NUMBER ONE (33)! April says borrow money....NO. Michelle says use husband (?!?!?!)....NO WAY. Chris says use a check....NO!! My mom uses checks all the time! Darn. For the challenger steal, George says make a payment...they have the lead at 165! #3 was getting upset (13), which is what I would have said right away on this question.
Triple: Name something people buy for the beach that begins with the word beach. Nina says beach towel, which is #2 (35). Erika gets beaten by the buzzer, so the challengers have a chance to close this game out. Ronnie says beach bag....sorry. George says beach ball.....NUMBER ONE (50)! That means this round will decide it. Rene says beach umbrella....bottom answer (4)!
Lonnie says beach chair is #3 for the championship....it's there, so they're the new champions at 453!
Fast Money: Lonnie and Rene play.
1. Name the best thing a woman can get complemented for.
2. A children-only game.
3. Out of 10 marriages, how many last a lifetime?
4. Something associated with rabbits.
5. A food that reminds you of summer.
Lonnie says looks, Chutes and Ladders, 2, tail and watermelon for 66. Rene says hair (#1), tic-tac-toe, 4 (tied for #1 with 5), fur and peaches for 130 total and $650.
WWTBAM: Rosie Vadella is back. BTW, she has only $20 in her acccount as of right now, but that's going to change now. For $25,000:
The aeolipile, an ancient toy also known as a "wind ball", is considered the earliest version of what invention?
A: Vaccum cleaner
B: Steam engine
C: Air conditioner
D: Conveyor belt
She calls her cousin, Alfred. He guesses the vaccum, which is what she's leaning toward. She agrees....NO!! It was the steam engine. At least she does have $1,000, which is more than what she came with.
Next is Jayme Holloway, who was considered by her family to be the most capable to past the show's auditions (which she did). For $2,000:
In the classic Keanu Reeves movie "Point Break", an FBI agent goes undercover as a what?
A: Skier
B: Surfer
C: Rock climber
D: Skateboarder
She asks the audience, and 83% say B. She agrees and is right. For $25,000:
A person flying due east from Iceland would pass over the following countries in what order?
A: Sweden, Norway, Finland
B: Finland, Sweden, Norway
C: Norway, Sweden, Finland
D: Sweden, Finland, Norway
Holloway calls Scott, who says Finland, Norway and Sweden, but that's not one of the choices. He's 50% sure, but maybe he's on to something. She uses the 50:50- and it's a good thing she did- B is gone. The bottom two are left. This is too hard for me and her, so she quits. The right order: Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Jeff Love is back tomorrow to start at the $4,000 question with the audience lifeline out.
WOF: The people on Day 3 of Country Music Stars Week have a hard act to follow. The stars tonight are Richie McDonald, Josh Gracin and the lovely Wynonna! Teaming up with McDonald is Debra Teisley. Teaming up with Gracin is Samantha LaPaca. And teaming up with the former "Nashville Star" host is Vicki Boyd. The team in the middle got both Toss-Ups for $3,000, and got to start Round 1, and the category is Event. Richie's team gets the Wild Card early on. Soon after, they land on $2,500 and call two R's! At that point, we have...
_ R E _ _ _ N G
_ N
_
N E _
_ _ _ R
O F
_ O O T S
I only don't know the top word now. They call three A's, but their call of an M is a dud. Wynonna's team calls a P for $500, two B's for $1,200, and a K for $900, and solve BREAKING IN A NEW PAIR OF BOOTS for $2,600.
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. After Richie's team picks up the VocoPro gift tag with a J, we have...
J _ S T
_ _ _ _ _
I
G _ _ S S
The second word is the obstacle. They call three U's, and a U is the second letter of the second word. They then solve JUST LUCKY I GUESS for $1,150, the gift tag and a trip to Las Vegas! They're on the board with cash and prizes totaling $6,650!
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Same Name. After Wynonna's team calls the C's, we have....
_ R C _ E _ T R A
&
_ E A C _
_ _ T
I know this now. They call the O, and have $9,850 at stake now. They then spin $3,500 and call two H's, but say ORCHESTRA & BEACH NUT!!!! That's the second show in a row someone has made an easy solve look so hard! The team in the middle capitalizes with $1,100 on ORCHESTRA & PEACH PIT, taking them up to $4,100.
Wynonna's team kinda rebounds from the last round by solving the $3,000 Toss-Up with TOUCH FOOTBALL, and they're up to $5,600. Speed-Up Round category is On the Map, and $1,600 is at stake for each consonant. With a low-scoring match here, this round will decide it.
After the team at the end says the S's, we have...
_ N _ _ _ _ _ _ _
T _ N N _ S S _ _
...and they solve NASHVILLE TENNESSEE to win the match with $9,850. BTW, they still have the Wild Card, so they get another consonant choice in the bonus round!
They spin the star. Category is Phrase. Starting with:
T _ _ _ _
_ T
_ _ T
Should be able to solve the second and third words. Tinsley and McDonald call C, D, H, K and O and get...
T O _ _ H
_ T
O _ T
"TOUCH IT OUT?"....NO. "TOUGH IT OUT?"....YES! And what did this lady win? A PORSCHE BOXSTER!! It's worth $51,830, and she takes home $61,680 in cash and prizes! Richie McDonald gets that amount all in cash for his charity!
Jeopardy!: Our final semifinal matchup pits Stephen Fritz, Frank Firke and Heidi Fogle.
The CW is one of the first round categories, but it doesn't mean all of its clues will relate to the broadcast network itself. In OO Sorry!, each correct response contains the OO sound, but not necessarily the two O's in that order. Remember, Fritz is the man that got frustrated being beaten to the buzzer on some clues during his first-round game. Firke leads with $4,200 heading into the first break.
Late in the round, with the Daily Double still not being found, Fritz takes over the lead. He finds the Daily Double on the last clue of OO Sorry!, with $8,000 so far. He bets the odd sum of $796:
In the U.S. Army or Marine Corps, a platoon is normally commanded by this officer.
"Who is a lieutenant?"....right! He ends the round with $8,796. The other boy has $5,200, and Fogle has $2,800.
Early on in Double Jeopardy!, Firke finds the first Daily Double in "Que" Tips with ten grand at this point, but Fritz still leads with $11,196. Firke bets $7,500- this could decide his fate when this game ends....
This country was once known as Portuguese East Africa.
"What is Mozambique?"....he's the new leader at $17,500! The lady finds the other Daily Double in Colors in Italian with $5,200 to her credit, which is more than half behind each of the boys.
She bets it all:
This metallic color is Argento.
"What is Silver?"....DOUBLE! She then gets on a bit of a roll, going as high as $14,000, and at one point taking Fritz down to third place! At the end of the round, Firke has the lead with $21,900, Fritz has $17,196 and Fogle has $14,800.
FJ! category: Organizations.
The emblem (seen on the studio monitor) is now used in countries where this organization's original emblem was controversial.
The lady says "What is the Red Cross", after scratching the American part of it....RIGHT! And she doubles to $29,600! Fritz has that and risks everything but $3, so he now leads with $34,389. Firke has adds International to the right response, which is accepted. He needs to bet at least $12,490 to win. He bet....
...$12........395! Missed it by $95! Ouch. That means Fritz is the last finalist!
DOND: Kate Miller is back to shoot for a possible $750,000. She brought a credit card machine for good luck!
Round 2: Miller chooses #9....$750. Next is #5...$100. Third is #20.....$10,000. Fourth is #23....
$100,000. Last is #19....$400. Second offer she says NO DEAL to: $46,000. In her friends gallery: the Western Kentucky mascot!
Round 3: Miller's first choice this round is #14....$1! Second, she opens #22....$25,000. Third is #25...$400,000. Lastly, she chooses #15....$300,000. The offer drops to $36,000, so obviously she says NO DEAL.
Round 4: Before this round starts, her banker in the friends gallery is put into an isolation booth, because she wants to make decisions on her own. First pick is #16...$1,000. Secondly, she chooses #18....PENNY! Last pick this round is #12...$50,000. The new offer is $82,000. She accidentally knocked over the phone!!! NO DEAL.
Round 5: Miller picks #24....$200,000. Other pick is #10....$500. New offer is: $68,000.
NO DEAL.
Left heading into one-case mode: $25, $75, $200, $300, $75,000 and $75,000 times 10.
New pick is #4. If this says $75,000, she's likely to take the new offer. If this is $750,000, more's the pity. It is....
...$200! The new offer is: $109,000! And she cashes in! The highest offer she could have had if she played on was $198,000. Her case had $75! Very good deal!
Next is Cheryl Clark. She is a mother of six. She chooses #8.
Round 1: Clark starts the game with #1....INSTANT MILLION KNOCKOUT. #5 is next.....$75.
Third is #12....$25,000. Fourth is #16....$200,000. Fifth is #13....$500. Her last choice is #20...$400. She obviously turns down the first offer of $19,000.
Round 2: First, she chooses #19...$5,000. Secondly, she chooses #10....$10! Third is #18....$25!
Fourth is #11....$750,000. Last pick is #6...$50. Next offer she turns down: $34,000.
Round 3: #7 is first....$10,000. Next is #14, 7 doubled.....PENNY, and it was after her baby girl did the "Open..." call! #23 is third....$500,000. Last pick is #21....$100. Next offer she turns down: $45,000.
Round 4: #3 is first....$750. Second is #9....$400,000. Finally, she picks #2.....$1! The new offer is: $33,000. NO DEAL. Her entire family are all shown at the end of this round!
That's all for tonight. She will be back on Monday to finish her game. But be sure to tune in Sunday at 7 PM EST, when Tony Kolton, a Chicago sports fan, goes for up to $1 million, and Dick Butkus and Scottie Pippen will have cameos!
Double: After you max out your credit card, what do you do next? Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3-
#4- Stop buying/don't use card (12, Brian)
#5- Use cash (8, Lonnie)
Before Brian answered, it looks like John accidentally knocked down the left buzz-in microphone! Funny! Anyway, the champs play. Erika says get another credit card....NUMBER ONE (33)! April says borrow money....NO. Michelle says use husband (?!?!?!)....NO WAY. Chris says use a check....NO!! My mom uses checks all the time! Darn. For the challenger steal, George says make a payment...they have the lead at 165! #3 was getting upset (13), which is what I would have said right away on this question.
Triple: Name something people buy for the beach that begins with the word beach. Nina says beach towel, which is #2 (35). Erika gets beaten by the buzzer, so the challengers have a chance to close this game out. Ronnie says beach bag....sorry. George says beach ball.....NUMBER ONE (50)! That means this round will decide it. Rene says beach umbrella....bottom answer (4)!
Lonnie says beach chair is #3 for the championship....it's there, so they're the new champions at 453!
Fast Money: Lonnie and Rene play.
1. Name the best thing a woman can get complemented for.
2. A children-only game.
3. Out of 10 marriages, how many last a lifetime?
4. Something associated with rabbits.
5. A food that reminds you of summer.
Lonnie says looks, Chutes and Ladders, 2, tail and watermelon for 66. Rene says hair (#1), tic-tac-toe, 4 (tied for #1 with 5), fur and peaches for 130 total and $650.
WWTBAM: Rosie Vadella is back. BTW, she has only $20 in her acccount as of right now, but that's going to change now. For $25,000:
The aeolipile, an ancient toy also known as a "wind ball", is considered the earliest version of what invention?
A: Vaccum cleaner
B: Steam engine
C: Air conditioner
D: Conveyor belt
She calls her cousin, Alfred. He guesses the vaccum, which is what she's leaning toward. She agrees....NO!! It was the steam engine. At least she does have $1,000, which is more than what she came with.
Next is Jayme Holloway, who was considered by her family to be the most capable to past the show's auditions (which she did). For $2,000:
In the classic Keanu Reeves movie "Point Break", an FBI agent goes undercover as a what?
A: Skier
B: Surfer
C: Rock climber
D: Skateboarder
She asks the audience, and 83% say B. She agrees and is right. For $25,000:
A person flying due east from Iceland would pass over the following countries in what order?
A: Sweden, Norway, Finland
B: Finland, Sweden, Norway
C: Norway, Sweden, Finland
D: Sweden, Finland, Norway
Holloway calls Scott, who says Finland, Norway and Sweden, but that's not one of the choices. He's 50% sure, but maybe he's on to something. She uses the 50:50- and it's a good thing she did- B is gone. The bottom two are left. This is too hard for me and her, so she quits. The right order: Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Jeff Love is back tomorrow to start at the $4,000 question with the audience lifeline out.
WOF: The people on Day 3 of Country Music Stars Week have a hard act to follow. The stars tonight are Richie McDonald, Josh Gracin and the lovely Wynonna! Teaming up with McDonald is Debra Teisley. Teaming up with Gracin is Samantha LaPaca. And teaming up with the former "Nashville Star" host is Vicki Boyd. The team in the middle got both Toss-Ups for $3,000, and got to start Round 1, and the category is Event. Richie's team gets the Wild Card early on. Soon after, they land on $2,500 and call two R's! At that point, we have...
_ R E _ _ _ N G
_ N
_
N E _
_ _ _ R
O F
_ O O T S
I only don't know the top word now. They call three A's, but their call of an M is a dud. Wynonna's team calls a P for $500, two B's for $1,200, and a K for $900, and solve BREAKING IN A NEW PAIR OF BOOTS for $2,600.
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. After Richie's team picks up the VocoPro gift tag with a J, we have...
J _ S T
_ _ _ _ _
I
G _ _ S S
The second word is the obstacle. They call three U's, and a U is the second letter of the second word. They then solve JUST LUCKY I GUESS for $1,150, the gift tag and a trip to Las Vegas! They're on the board with cash and prizes totaling $6,650!
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Same Name. After Wynonna's team calls the C's, we have....
_ R C _ E _ T R A
&
_ E A C _
_ _ T
I know this now. They call the O, and have $9,850 at stake now. They then spin $3,500 and call two H's, but say ORCHESTRA & BEACH NUT!!!! That's the second show in a row someone has made an easy solve look so hard! The team in the middle capitalizes with $1,100 on ORCHESTRA & PEACH PIT, taking them up to $4,100.
Wynonna's team kinda rebounds from the last round by solving the $3,000 Toss-Up with TOUCH FOOTBALL, and they're up to $5,600. Speed-Up Round category is On the Map, and $1,600 is at stake for each consonant. With a low-scoring match here, this round will decide it.
After the team at the end says the S's, we have...
_ N _ _ _ _ _ _ _
T _ N N _ S S _ _
...and they solve NASHVILLE TENNESSEE to win the match with $9,850. BTW, they still have the Wild Card, so they get another consonant choice in the bonus round!
They spin the star. Category is Phrase. Starting with:
T _ _ _ _
_ T
_ _ T
Should be able to solve the second and third words. Tinsley and McDonald call C, D, H, K and O and get...
T O _ _ H
_ T
O _ T
"TOUCH IT OUT?"....NO. "TOUGH IT OUT?"....YES! And what did this lady win? A PORSCHE BOXSTER!! It's worth $51,830, and she takes home $61,680 in cash and prizes! Richie McDonald gets that amount all in cash for his charity!
Jeopardy!: Our final semifinal matchup pits Stephen Fritz, Frank Firke and Heidi Fogle.
The CW is one of the first round categories, but it doesn't mean all of its clues will relate to the broadcast network itself. In OO Sorry!, each correct response contains the OO sound, but not necessarily the two O's in that order. Remember, Fritz is the man that got frustrated being beaten to the buzzer on some clues during his first-round game. Firke leads with $4,200 heading into the first break.
Late in the round, with the Daily Double still not being found, Fritz takes over the lead. He finds the Daily Double on the last clue of OO Sorry!, with $8,000 so far. He bets the odd sum of $796:
In the U.S. Army or Marine Corps, a platoon is normally commanded by this officer.
"Who is a lieutenant?"....right! He ends the round with $8,796. The other boy has $5,200, and Fogle has $2,800.
Early on in Double Jeopardy!, Firke finds the first Daily Double in "Que" Tips with ten grand at this point, but Fritz still leads with $11,196. Firke bets $7,500- this could decide his fate when this game ends....
This country was once known as Portuguese East Africa.
"What is Mozambique?"....he's the new leader at $17,500! The lady finds the other Daily Double in Colors in Italian with $5,200 to her credit, which is more than half behind each of the boys.
She bets it all:
This metallic color is Argento.
"What is Silver?"....DOUBLE! She then gets on a bit of a roll, going as high as $14,000, and at one point taking Fritz down to third place! At the end of the round, Firke has the lead with $21,900, Fritz has $17,196 and Fogle has $14,800.
FJ! category: Organizations.
The emblem (seen on the studio monitor) is now used in countries where this organization's original emblem was controversial.
The lady says "What is the Red Cross", after scratching the American part of it....RIGHT! And she doubles to $29,600! Fritz has that and risks everything but $3, so he now leads with $34,389. Firke has adds International to the right response, which is accepted. He needs to bet at least $12,490 to win. He bet....
...$12........395! Missed it by $95! Ouch. That means Fritz is the last finalist!
DOND: Kate Miller is back to shoot for a possible $750,000. She brought a credit card machine for good luck!
Round 2: Miller chooses #9....$750. Next is #5...$100. Third is #20.....$10,000. Fourth is #23....
$100,000. Last is #19....$400. Second offer she says NO DEAL to: $46,000. In her friends gallery: the Western Kentucky mascot!
Round 3: Miller's first choice this round is #14....$1! Second, she opens #22....$25,000. Third is #25...$400,000. Lastly, she chooses #15....$300,000. The offer drops to $36,000, so obviously she says NO DEAL.
Round 4: Before this round starts, her banker in the friends gallery is put into an isolation booth, because she wants to make decisions on her own. First pick is #16...$1,000. Secondly, she chooses #18....PENNY! Last pick this round is #12...$50,000. The new offer is $82,000. She accidentally knocked over the phone!!! NO DEAL.
Round 5: Miller picks #24....$200,000. Other pick is #10....$500. New offer is: $68,000.
NO DEAL.
Left heading into one-case mode: $25, $75, $200, $300, $75,000 and $75,000 times 10.
New pick is #4. If this says $75,000, she's likely to take the new offer. If this is $750,000, more's the pity. It is....
...$200! The new offer is: $109,000! And she cashes in! The highest offer she could have had if she played on was $198,000. Her case had $75! Very good deal!
Next is Cheryl Clark. She is a mother of six. She chooses #8.
Round 1: Clark starts the game with #1....INSTANT MILLION KNOCKOUT. #5 is next.....$75.
Third is #12....$25,000. Fourth is #16....$200,000. Fifth is #13....$500. Her last choice is #20...$400. She obviously turns down the first offer of $19,000.
Round 2: First, she chooses #19...$5,000. Secondly, she chooses #10....$10! Third is #18....$25!
Fourth is #11....$750,000. Last pick is #6...$50. Next offer she turns down: $34,000.
Round 3: #7 is first....$10,000. Next is #14, 7 doubled.....PENNY, and it was after her baby girl did the "Open..." call! #23 is third....$500,000. Last pick is #21....$100. Next offer she turns down: $45,000.
Round 4: #3 is first....$750. Second is #9....$400,000. Finally, she picks #2.....$1! The new offer is: $33,000. NO DEAL. Her entire family are all shown at the end of this round!
That's all for tonight. She will be back on Monday to finish her game. But be sure to tune in Sunday at 7 PM EST, when Tony Kolton, a Chicago sports fan, goes for up to $1 million, and Dick Butkus and Scottie Pippen will have cameos!

I'm not sure about the first word, but I think it's DELTA. They call the L's for $600, call the G for another $300, and call four D's for another $14,000! And D is the first letter of the first word! I was right all along- but they say DELTA DAWN DISAPPEARING LIQUID!!! DOH!!!!
The middle team calls two W's and H's, and after calling the Q for $350, they solve DELTA DAWN DISHWASHING LIQUID for $2,950, taking them up to $6,250.
The team who had that senior moment last round solves MISSOULA MONTANA to go to $5,000. Speed-Up time with a Thing, and $6,000 is offered for each consonant! I wonder if Gentry's team will really rebound from that last round now. After the middle team calls the I's, we have...

Jeopardy!: Second pair of semifinalists are Myles Jeffrey, David Walter and Naomi Hinchen.
Hinchen finds the Daily Double in Election 2006, and lost her entire $600 up to that point.
When we get to the middle part of the round, it's a tight match between the boys. Walter eventually rallies to get the lead heading into the last category of the round, Rhyme Time.
After that, Walter leads with $8,000. Jeffrey has $5,200, and the lady has $1,600.
After getting the $1,200 clue in Crossword Clues "C", the lady finds the Daily Double under the $1,600 clue. She has $3,600, and bets $2,000:
Four-letter word: To urge, perhaps to drink certain sodas.
"What is Coke?"....not a bad idea, but it's coax. Drops to $1,600. Walter builds on his lead with some correct responses in Famous Young Women. He still leads heading into the final category of the round, The French. Other Daily Double up there somewhere. He thinks the $1,600 clue has it....it doesn't. After getting that right, he says the $1,200 clue....there it is! He has $18,800 so far. The other man has $9,200, and the lady has $2,400. If Walter gets this right, he can wrap this game up. He bets $3,500:
Because the Seine flows northwest, then southwest, Parisians call the two sides this and this, not North and South.
"What are Rive Gauche and Rive Droite?"....GOT IT! And with $24,300 at the end of the round, he's locked up a spot in the two-day finals!
FJ!, just for fun, is in the category of 20th Century Authors.
This author was born in 1926, the daughter of Amasa, an Alabama lawyer, and Frances, whose maiden name was French.
Correct: Who is Harper Lee?
Both boys got that right, and Walter bet $1!
Family Feud: The Gingras family defends for the first time against the Jones family. The champions sweep the first question and 89 on things men do to make their moms proud.
The challengers fire back and tie the game on things a department store Santa might hate about his job.

#2- Donald Trump (28, Tiffani)
#3-

The challengers play. Dijan says Don King.....only in America, IT'S NUMBER ONE (41)!! But they get three straght strikes thereafter, so it's steal time for the champions. Michelle says Don Johnson....they have the lead at 227! Others were all Dons: Rickles, Knotts and Ho.
Triple: According to 100 married men, name something that your children often interrupt. Erika says sex, which is #2 (25). Dijan says football games.....TV/football is the bottom answer (11). So the champs try to close it out. April says work....NO. Michelle says sleep....#3 (15)! If they don't get the #1 answer before they strike out, they're in trouble. Chris says reading the newspaper, which is not it. Brian says a dinner....NO!!! That means the Jones clan says conversations to force a playoff!
Sudden Death: Timothy and April play. Question: In horror movies, name something psychos kill people with. #1 answer is knife....
...and April has it, so the Gingras family remains our champions at 434!
Fast Money: Michelle and Chris do it again.

WWTBAM: Back with us is Sean McGrath. He gets up to this $16,000 question:
What movie won the most Oscars in the 1990s?
A: "The English Patient"
B: "Shakespeare in Love"
C: "Schindler's List"
D: "Titanic"
He asks the audience. 66% say D, while 23% say C. He agrees on "Titanic"....right! He then gets the $25,000 question right before going for $50,000 on this:
Spain and what other nation both claim to be home to the final resting place of Christopher Columbus?
A: Cuba
B: Italy
C: The Dominican Republic
D: Portugal
I have a feeling it's not C. He has an idea, but calls his friend Rob, who thought it was Portugal, but ruled it out at the last second. He switches this question out, and it's a good thing he did- the Dominican Republic was the right answer after all. Final $50K question:
In 1927, Pan Am Airways flew its maiden voyage, delivering mail from Florida to what overseas locale?
A: Cuba
B: Panama
C: Mexico
D: Puerto Rico
Believe it or not, Cuba is still the A answer. When's the last time we've seen the same choice appear for the same letter choice in back-to-back questions? Anyway, he uses the 50:50 to leave Cuba and Mexico. He says Cuba.....$50,000! He walks away with that amount.
Next is Rosie Vadella. Both she and Meredith Viera both have a little girl named Lily! Final question of the day, for $16,000:
Released in 2006, Bob Dylan's latest studio album shares its title with what iconic Charlie Chaplin film?

She polls the audience. She used her 50:50 on the previous question. 44% of the audience say it's B, 30% say C, and 19% say A. But she agrees with "Modern Times" anyway....and she's coming back tomorrow!

Released in 2006, Bob Dylan's latest studio album shares its title with what iconic Charlie Chaplin film?
A: "The Tramp"
B: "Modern Times"
C: "City Lights"
D: "The Gold Rush"
She polls the audience. She used her 50:50 on the previous question. 44% of the audience say it's B, 30% say C, and 19% say A. But she agrees with "Modern Times" anyway....and she's coming back tomorrow!

2/12/2007 Results- MY DOG'S BIRTHDAY!
TPIR: We begin today with Derek Funhouser, who wants to win, of all prizes, a hair styler. Guess what- he can, along with a tea set and a TV in Make Your Move! Board:
950404298
He guesses fast as I would- he says $40 for the styler, $950 for the tea set and $4,298 for the TV. Bob says he's the quickest to ever play the game.....and he's a winner!
Next is Chad Van Reyes, who is from the Marine Corp Firefighters. He plays 3 Strikes for a Cadillac DTS (Std., Seat, Prots)! Numbers are 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9. He first draws the 6, and says it's the second number....it's not. He then draws the strike for the first time. Then he draws the 7, and says it's the second number....UH-UH. He draws the 9 now, and says second number.....it's the 2. But he must draw it and say second number then in order for it to count. He then draws the 9 again, and says the last digit.....NO. He finally picks up the 4, and places it as the first number ($ 4 _, _ _ _). He then draws the 2 and places it as the second number ($ 4 2, _ _ _).
He then draws the 9 again, and says it's the third number.....right ($ 4 2, 9 _ _)! Next, he draws the 6, and says that's the fourth number......but it's the last number. We know the Cadillac is $42,976, but he must earn it himself. He then picks up the 7, and places that as the fourth number! Can he draw that 6 in two draws or less.....
....YES-RIGHT AWAY!! He wins the Cadillac!!!
Sarah Manning is third to play for a floor clock in Squeeze Play. Board:
76280
She takes out the 6, for a guess of $7,280......NO. It's $7,680.
SSD1: Our only loser so far spins 20....and 95 to go home with crummy parting gifts. Funhouser spins 80 and stays. Van Reyes spins 55....and 40 to go to the Showcase!
Myrna Tengar then plays Barker's Markers for $500, plus a digital piano, a tread climber and a dinette. When she was called to Come on Down, she had to come all the way from the left of the audience to come to the right of the audience, and then go down to the left-most spot in Contestant's Row! Bob thinks she did that on purpose. As for the game, the potential prices are $1,980, $2,595, $2,999 and $3,460. She marks the three lowest prices- $1,980, $2,595 and $2,999, which I think is the best idea in this game. The dinette is $1,980 and the piano is $2,595. I think she should leave $2,999 for the tread climber....and she does. If that's $2,999, she wins all the prizes and the $500.....and it is!
Carlos Valdez is fifth to play Pass the Buck for a Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe (Std., Heater, PProt) worth $14,234. First pair of items are Pine Sol marked at $1.29, and olive oil marked at $5.49. Valdez thinks the Pine Sol should be $2.29....and it is! Other pair of items are cat chow marked at $1.59 and Fresh Clense marked at $3.69. He thinks that the cat food is $2.59.....no sir. He has two picks. First pick is #1....the #1 prize, the car, and he wins it!
Kevin is last to play Barker's Bargain Bar for scuba gear marked at $1,114 and a sofa marked at $1,105. He picks the sofa. The scuba gear's ARP: $2,114, a difference of $1,000. The sofa must be at least $2,205 to win. ARP: just $1,605, so he loses.
The excited Myrna gets into the Showcase! This should be interesting.
First Showcase has Lanisha trying so hard to making a London guard break her concentration. First, she tries to make her laugh with movies playing from a portable DVD player. Second, she dances to the music of her new Wurlitzer jukebox! And finally, she then tries to scare the guard with the car horn of her new Ford Mustang (Std., Locks)! The man passes to the lady, who bids $25,000. For the man, we have all sorts of cards. First, there are baseball cards of Dodgers greats, which means he could go to Dodgers baseball camp! Second, there's a deck of regular playing cards, which you can find dealt in a casino in Monte Carlo! Finally, you'll need all the credit cards you can to do fabulous shopping in Hong Kong! He bids $19,500.
ARP for the lady: $29,240, a difference of $4,240. ARP for the man: $28,383, meaning the lady wins! She wins $39,004. But the man is still our big winner today with $43,616.
DOND: Tonight, after this episode, an auction will be held on the special red dresses that all of the models will wear tonight, and the proceeds will go to charity to fight heart disease! The suits are provided by Campbell's Soup. Beginning the show tonight is Donardo Demaranis, who recognizes Howie as the voice of Bobby on "Bobby's World"! The contestant is from NY, and is wearing an American flag shirt! The show decides to drop an American Flag above the models! His case choice is sweet 16.
He sees his cousins in a NY mosh pit via satelite from Times Square after Round 2! Also in that mob: Gary Riotto, Mati Selina, and your 2006 Grand Champion, Michele Falco!
Let's pick this up starting at Round 4. The biggest amounts on his board at this point: $100,000, $300,000 and $500,000. His first choice is #25....$100,000. Second choice is #18....$500,000, and now he's in trouble. If he loses the $300,000, the best he can do is $10,000. His last choice this round is #4....$5! New offer is $22,000. NO DEAL.
Round 5: Demaranis's first choice is #11...$500. Other choice is #20....$750. The offer rises to $41,000. NO DEAL.
Board at this point heading into one case mode: $10, $300, $400, $1,000, $10,000 and $300,000.
Demaranis's next choice is #14.....
...$300! The new offer is $53,000. NO DEAL.
His new choice is #5......
....$400! He then gives the girl who opened the case his glittery shoes! The new offer is $76,000.....
....DEAL, and pyro goes off near the models! Neato! Had he gotten to the final two cases, he would have had $1,000 and $300,000 left, and had an offer of $163,000. But his case had the $1,000, so he made a very good deal.
The player who should return Wednesday- Kate Miller! She loves to shop. She picks the dreaded #13. In Round 1, she knocked out $5, $10, $50, $5,000, $500,000 and the big million.
She turned down the first offer of $15,000.
WOF: It's time to begin Country Music Stars Week! Our music stars for night 1- Eddie Montgomery, Steve Azar and Trisha Yearwood! Teaming up with Yearwood is Mette Schladweiler, Whitney James is teaming up with Azar, and Katie Holburn is with Montgomery.
Remember, all celebrities are guaranteed to get $10,000 each for their favorite charities.
The prize offered starting in Round 1 is a trip to the Country Music Awards worth $6,000, and it fits the week! Yearwood's team won the $2,000 Toss-Up to start Round 1, which has a category of before and After. After Azar and James call the I, we have...
T R _ _ _
S T _ _
I _
T H E
_ A _ E
_ _
L _ _ E
I only don't know the top word. They call two N's for $1,000, the M for $900, and the V for $400. Next, they call the F for $600, and buy three O's. They call the P for $550, and call the U, and solve TRUCK STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE to get on the board with $5,950!
Jackpot Round category is People. The winners of the last round get the Free Spin early on.
After calling the E, we have...
A
_ _ _ _ _ _
E N T _ _ S _ A S T _ _
_ _ _ _ _
The only word I don't think I know now is the second word. After a few spins later, they hit the Bankrupt, and they decide to use their Free Spin. They call two D's for $1,600, and a D is the fourth letter of the second word. They call the I's later, and one appears as the second letter of the important second word! After two W's for $600, the W appears as the first letter of the second word, giving us for that WI-E-- so far. They call the L's for a grand, and solve A WILDLY ENTHUSUASTIC CROWD for $2,700, taking them up to $8,650.
$10,000 Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food and Drink. The winners of the last two rounds pick up the CMA trip early on, but lose it quickly to a Bankrupt. But if they win this round, the player will go on a nicer trip anyway. After they get control back, they call the A's, and we have...
_ A R _
_ _ T _ _
A _ _ L E
_ _ E
A
L A
_ _ _ E
I don't know the first two words. They call a $400 H, and call two D's for $600. At this point, the first word reads -AR-, and the second word reads D-T-H. Should know it by now. They call the U, and call three P's for $1,650. They call the I, and two M's for $800, and solve WARM DUTCH APPLE PIE A LA MODE for $4,250 and a trip to Amsterdam! They continue winning, as they're up to $17,400!
They continue their hot streak with COUNTY FAIR to go to $20,400. It's now Speed-Up time with a Thing, and consonants are worth $1,300 a pop. After they call the H, we have...
_ _ _ _ N C _ _
T _ C H N _ L _ _ _
...and they solve ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY to ice their cake with another $5,200 and $25,600! The other two celebrities get $10,000 each for their charities, while the contestants paired with them get the Toss-Up money they won in the first segment.
Steve spins the first zero. Category is Living Thing. Starting with:
S _ _ E _ R _ S _
James and Azar's choices are C, H, M and A and get....
S A _ E _ R _ S H
Even with the help, we all didn't know this one- SAGEBRUSH. They had nothing to lose though, because $25,000 was at stake here.
Jeopardy!: Our first Teen semifinal consists of Ben Schenkel, Caroline Bartman and Hank Robinson. Schenkel, the one who was in total control in the last quarterfinal before having to settle for a Wild Card on Friday, is off to a fast start heading into the first break with four large, while the other two are in the hole.
With two full categories to go, Bartman randomly picks the $600 clue in Stamps....which hides the Daily Double! But she only has $800 at this point, so she bets $1,000:
Appropriately, the 2007 love stamp features this Hershey's candy, celebrating its 100th Anniversary.
"What is a Hershey's Kiss?" You bet for another $1,000! Bartman gets up to $3,400 at the end of the round. Schenkel still leads with $6,600, and Robinson is just hanging in there with $1,400.
One of the categories in Double Jeopardy! is Not the Dreaded Spelling Category. Funny title for a category! Bartman continues to catch up to the leader early, but Schenkel finds the first Daily Double in It's Elemental with $7,800 to his credit, and Bartman having $4,600. The man bets IT ALL:
This element, Pm, was named for the guy who gave fire to humanity in Greek legend.
"What is Promethium?"....
....HE DOUBLES TO $15,600!! Robinson soon finds the other Daily Double in Bodies of Bronze and Marble, and he has $3,000. Bartman has $5,800, and Big Ben has 16 large. Robinson bets $2,000:
This "contemplative" bronze by Rodin was orginally called "The Poet".
"What is the Thinker?"....the statue handed out to Tournament of Champions winners on the original "Concentration", that is correct! But Big Ben zooms through most of the clues in this round, and does well enough to lock up a berth in the finals before the final!
FJ!, just for fun: State Names.
The name of this state is derived from an Indian word meaning "Great Lake".
Correct: What is Michigan? And for good measure, Big Ben is the only one to get this right!
Family Feud: The Fabrys are here defending against the Gingras family.
The challengers score first with 79 on what you might do if your boss's zipper on his pants is down. They go to 171 on things a woman might take home from a best friend's wedding.
Double: Name a female celebrity with hot children that might make her a "hot momma". Starting with:
#1- Angelina Jolie (32, Brian)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The challengers play. Erika says Britney Spears....bottom answer (6). April says Demi Moore....#2 (12)! Michelle says Heidi Klum....on this list, she's out. Chris says Gwen Stefani....NO! Doggone it! Back to Brian, who says Julia Roberts.....three strikes in a row.
For the champion steal, Chris says Katie Holmes....NO, so another 100 goes to the Gingras clan!
#3 was Jada Pink't Smith (7), and #4 was Madonna (7).
Triple: Something a wife adjusts when she drives her husband's car. John of the champs says the seat...NUMBER ONE (72), so they get to play! Lisa says the mirrors....#2 (20)! Chris says a pad....I don't know which one he said, but I know it's not there. Jimmy says backseat items....not there, either. Jami says the radio....#3 (3)! If they win this round, we go to a playoff. John says #4 is temperature...not so. Michelle thinks #4 is steering wheel. If it is, the Gingras family are the new champions....NO, so the Fabrys force Sudden Death! #4 was the seat belt (3).
Sudden Death: Lisa and April represent. Question: Name a talk show whose guests are faking their antics. Top answer, of course is "The Jerry Springer Show"....
...and April says it, so the Gingras clan are the new champs at 463!
Fast Money: Chris and Michelle go for the money.
1. Name someone you'd call if you went to jail.
2. An occasion when you'd send flowers.
3. Something you find on one's doorstep.
4. The month when the weather starts to warm up.
5. A squirting fruit.
Michelle says husband, death, doormat (#1), April and orange (#1) for 175! Chris says mom first...35 is good enough for $20,000! Parents was #1 for that question!
WWTBAM: Back after a long wait is Laurie Foti, who's a teacher. She's doing quite well, getting up to the $25,000 question without using any lifelines! She even owns a dollar bill that has all of her students' names on it! The question:
Which of these romantic comedies is a remake of the 1940 classic "The Shop Around the Corner"?
A: "What Women Want"
B: "Moonstruck"
C: "While You Were Sleeping"
D: "You've Got Mail"
She calls Tom, a co-worker, who says "You've Got Mail" at the last second, but time ran out before he said how sure he was. So, Foti uses the 50:50, which leaves C and D. She agrees with Tom and is right for $25,000! For $50,000:
Famed American author O. henry wrote many short stories while serving time in prison for what?
A: Treason
B: Murder
C: Embezzlement
D: Arson
Foti asks the audience. 51% say C, while 36% say A. I wouldn't have agreed with the audience on this one, but she does anyway....this time they're right for $50,000! For $100,000, after switching:
One of the world's shallowest seas, the Sea of Azov is the northern extension of what body of water?
A: Caspian Sea
B: Persian Gulf
C: Bay of Bengal
D: Black Sea
She's not sure enough, so she does something that none of the couples could do last week- win at least $50,000! Answer here was the Black Sea.
Next is Mariel Jais. She polls the audience to get the $300 question right. After securing at least $1,000, she has this question for $2,000:
Which of these song titles does NOT contain a word that's also the brand name of a laundry detergent?
A: "The Tide is High"
B: "Surf City"
C: "Rocket Man"
D: "All Shook Up"
She uses the 50:50, leaving A and C. She then picks "Rocket Man", done by Elton John....right!
She gets up to this $25,000 question:
The Red Queen hypothesis, a scientific theory about evolution, takes its name from a character in what classic kids' book?
A: "Peter Pan"
B: "Mary Poppins"
C: "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"
D: "Through the Looking Glass"
Jais calls Charles, her boss at college. He says nothing, so she quits here with $16,000. Answer was D.
Sean McGrath is back tomorrow after getting the first $1,000.
950404298
He guesses fast as I would- he says $40 for the styler, $950 for the tea set and $4,298 for the TV. Bob says he's the quickest to ever play the game.....and he's a winner!
Next is Chad Van Reyes, who is from the Marine Corp Firefighters. He plays 3 Strikes for a Cadillac DTS (Std., Seat, Prots)! Numbers are 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9. He first draws the 6, and says it's the second number....it's not. He then draws the strike for the first time. Then he draws the 7, and says it's the second number....UH-UH. He draws the 9 now, and says second number.....it's the 2. But he must draw it and say second number then in order for it to count. He then draws the 9 again, and says the last digit.....NO. He finally picks up the 4, and places it as the first number ($ 4 _, _ _ _). He then draws the 2 and places it as the second number ($ 4 2, _ _ _).
He then draws the 9 again, and says it's the third number.....right ($ 4 2, 9 _ _)! Next, he draws the 6, and says that's the fourth number......but it's the last number. We know the Cadillac is $42,976, but he must earn it himself. He then picks up the 7, and places that as the fourth number! Can he draw that 6 in two draws or less.....
....YES-RIGHT AWAY!! He wins the Cadillac!!!
Sarah Manning is third to play for a floor clock in Squeeze Play. Board:
76280
She takes out the 6, for a guess of $7,280......NO. It's $7,680.
SSD1: Our only loser so far spins 20....and 95 to go home with crummy parting gifts. Funhouser spins 80 and stays. Van Reyes spins 55....and 40 to go to the Showcase!
Myrna Tengar then plays Barker's Markers for $500, plus a digital piano, a tread climber and a dinette. When she was called to Come on Down, she had to come all the way from the left of the audience to come to the right of the audience, and then go down to the left-most spot in Contestant's Row! Bob thinks she did that on purpose. As for the game, the potential prices are $1,980, $2,595, $2,999 and $3,460. She marks the three lowest prices- $1,980, $2,595 and $2,999, which I think is the best idea in this game. The dinette is $1,980 and the piano is $2,595. I think she should leave $2,999 for the tread climber....and she does. If that's $2,999, she wins all the prizes and the $500.....and it is!
Carlos Valdez is fifth to play Pass the Buck for a Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe (Std., Heater, PProt) worth $14,234. First pair of items are Pine Sol marked at $1.29, and olive oil marked at $5.49. Valdez thinks the Pine Sol should be $2.29....and it is! Other pair of items are cat chow marked at $1.59 and Fresh Clense marked at $3.69. He thinks that the cat food is $2.59.....no sir. He has two picks. First pick is #1....the #1 prize, the car, and he wins it!
Kevin is last to play Barker's Bargain Bar for scuba gear marked at $1,114 and a sofa marked at $1,105. He picks the sofa. The scuba gear's ARP: $2,114, a difference of $1,000. The sofa must be at least $2,205 to win. ARP: just $1,605, so he loses.
The excited Myrna gets into the Showcase! This should be interesting.
First Showcase has Lanisha trying so hard to making a London guard break her concentration. First, she tries to make her laugh with movies playing from a portable DVD player. Second, she dances to the music of her new Wurlitzer jukebox! And finally, she then tries to scare the guard with the car horn of her new Ford Mustang (Std., Locks)! The man passes to the lady, who bids $25,000. For the man, we have all sorts of cards. First, there are baseball cards of Dodgers greats, which means he could go to Dodgers baseball camp! Second, there's a deck of regular playing cards, which you can find dealt in a casino in Monte Carlo! Finally, you'll need all the credit cards you can to do fabulous shopping in Hong Kong! He bids $19,500.
ARP for the lady: $29,240, a difference of $4,240. ARP for the man: $28,383, meaning the lady wins! She wins $39,004. But the man is still our big winner today with $43,616.
DOND: Tonight, after this episode, an auction will be held on the special red dresses that all of the models will wear tonight, and the proceeds will go to charity to fight heart disease! The suits are provided by Campbell's Soup. Beginning the show tonight is Donardo Demaranis, who recognizes Howie as the voice of Bobby on "Bobby's World"! The contestant is from NY, and is wearing an American flag shirt! The show decides to drop an American Flag above the models! His case choice is sweet 16.
He sees his cousins in a NY mosh pit via satelite from Times Square after Round 2! Also in that mob: Gary Riotto, Mati Selina, and your 2006 Grand Champion, Michele Falco!
Let's pick this up starting at Round 4. The biggest amounts on his board at this point: $100,000, $300,000 and $500,000. His first choice is #25....$100,000. Second choice is #18....$500,000, and now he's in trouble. If he loses the $300,000, the best he can do is $10,000. His last choice this round is #4....$5! New offer is $22,000. NO DEAL.
Round 5: Demaranis's first choice is #11...$500. Other choice is #20....$750. The offer rises to $41,000. NO DEAL.
Board at this point heading into one case mode: $10, $300, $400, $1,000, $10,000 and $300,000.
Demaranis's next choice is #14.....
...$300! The new offer is $53,000. NO DEAL.
His new choice is #5......
....$400! He then gives the girl who opened the case his glittery shoes! The new offer is $76,000.....
....DEAL, and pyro goes off near the models! Neato! Had he gotten to the final two cases, he would have had $1,000 and $300,000 left, and had an offer of $163,000. But his case had the $1,000, so he made a very good deal.
The player who should return Wednesday- Kate Miller! She loves to shop. She picks the dreaded #13. In Round 1, she knocked out $5, $10, $50, $5,000, $500,000 and the big million.
She turned down the first offer of $15,000.
WOF: It's time to begin Country Music Stars Week! Our music stars for night 1- Eddie Montgomery, Steve Azar and Trisha Yearwood! Teaming up with Yearwood is Mette Schladweiler, Whitney James is teaming up with Azar, and Katie Holburn is with Montgomery.

They call two D's for $1,600, and a D is the fourth letter of the second word. They call the I's later, and one appears as the second letter of the important second word! After two W's for $600, the W appears as the first letter of the second word, giving us for that WI-E-- so far. They call the L's for a grand, and solve A WILDLY ENTHUSUASTIC CROWD for $2,700, taking them up to $8,650.
$10,000 Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food and Drink. The winners of the last two rounds pick up the CMA trip early on, but lose it quickly to a Bankrupt. But if they win this round, the player will go on a nicer trip anyway. After they get control back, they call the A's, and we have...

I don't know the first two words. They call a $400 H, and call two D's for $600. At this point, the first word reads -AR-, and the second word reads D-T-H. Should know it by now. They call the U, and call three P's for $1,650. They call the I, and two M's for $800, and solve WARM DUTCH APPLE PIE A LA MODE for $4,250 and a trip to Amsterdam!

Even with the help, we all didn't know this one- SAGEBRUSH. They had nothing to lose though, because $25,000 was at stake here.
Jeopardy!: Our first Teen semifinal consists of Ben Schenkel, Caroline Bartman and Hank Robinson. Schenkel, the one who was in total control in the last quarterfinal before having to settle for a Wild Card on Friday, is off to a fast start heading into the first break with four large, while the other two are in the hole.
With two full categories to go, Bartman randomly picks the $600 clue in Stamps....which hides the Daily Double! But she only has $800 at this point, so she bets $1,000:
Appropriately, the 2007 love stamp features this Hershey's candy, celebrating its 100th Anniversary.
"What is a Hershey's Kiss?" You bet for another $1,000! Bartman gets up to $3,400 at the end of the round. Schenkel still leads with $6,600, and Robinson is just hanging in there with $1,400.
One of the categories in Double Jeopardy! is Not the Dreaded Spelling Category. Funny title for a category! Bartman continues to catch up to the leader early, but Schenkel finds the first Daily Double in It's Elemental with $7,800 to his credit, and Bartman having $4,600. The man bets IT ALL:
This element, Pm, was named for the guy who gave fire to humanity in Greek legend.
"What is Promethium?"....
....HE DOUBLES TO $15,600!! Robinson soon finds the other Daily Double in Bodies of Bronze and Marble, and he has $3,000. Bartman has $5,800, and Big Ben has 16 large. Robinson bets $2,000:
This "contemplative" bronze by Rodin was orginally called "The Poet".
"What is the Thinker?"....the statue handed out to Tournament of Champions winners on the original "Concentration", that is correct! But Big Ben zooms through most of the clues in this round, and does well enough to lock up a berth in the finals before the final!
FJ!, just for fun: State Names.
The name of this state is derived from an Indian word meaning "Great Lake".
Correct: What is Michigan? And for good measure, Big Ben is the only one to get this right!
Family Feud: The Fabrys are here defending against the Gingras family.
The challengers score first with 79 on what you might do if your boss's zipper on his pants is down. They go to 171 on things a woman might take home from a best friend's wedding.
Double: Name a female celebrity with hot children that might make her a "hot momma". Starting with:
#1- Angelina Jolie (32, Brian)
#2-
#3-
#4-
#5-
The challengers play. Erika says Britney Spears....bottom answer (6). April says Demi Moore....#2 (12)! Michelle says Heidi Klum....on this list, she's out. Chris says Gwen Stefani....NO! Doggone it! Back to Brian, who says Julia Roberts.....three strikes in a row.
For the champion steal, Chris says Katie Holmes....NO, so another 100 goes to the Gingras clan!
#3 was Jada Pink't Smith (7), and #4 was Madonna (7).
Triple: Something a wife adjusts when she drives her husband's car. John of the champs says the seat...NUMBER ONE (72), so they get to play! Lisa says the mirrors....#2 (20)! Chris says a pad....I don't know which one he said, but I know it's not there. Jimmy says backseat items....not there, either. Jami says the radio....#3 (3)! If they win this round, we go to a playoff. John says #4 is temperature...not so. Michelle thinks #4 is steering wheel. If it is, the Gingras family are the new champions....NO, so the Fabrys force Sudden Death! #4 was the seat belt (3).
Sudden Death: Lisa and April represent. Question: Name a talk show whose guests are faking their antics. Top answer, of course is "The Jerry Springer Show"....
...and April says it, so the Gingras clan are the new champs at 463!
Fast Money: Chris and Michelle go for the money.
1. Name someone you'd call if you went to jail.
2. An occasion when you'd send flowers.
3. Something you find on one's doorstep.
4. The month when the weather starts to warm up.
5. A squirting fruit.
Michelle says husband, death, doormat (#1), April and orange (#1) for 175! Chris says mom first...35 is good enough for $20,000! Parents was #1 for that question!
WWTBAM: Back after a long wait is Laurie Foti, who's a teacher. She's doing quite well, getting up to the $25,000 question without using any lifelines! She even owns a dollar bill that has all of her students' names on it! The question:
Which of these romantic comedies is a remake of the 1940 classic "The Shop Around the Corner"?
A: "What Women Want"
B: "Moonstruck"
C: "While You Were Sleeping"
D: "You've Got Mail"
She calls Tom, a co-worker, who says "You've Got Mail" at the last second, but time ran out before he said how sure he was. So, Foti uses the 50:50, which leaves C and D. She agrees with Tom and is right for $25,000! For $50,000:
Famed American author O. henry wrote many short stories while serving time in prison for what?
A: Treason
B: Murder
C: Embezzlement
D: Arson
Foti asks the audience. 51% say C, while 36% say A. I wouldn't have agreed with the audience on this one, but she does anyway....this time they're right for $50,000! For $100,000, after switching:
One of the world's shallowest seas, the Sea of Azov is the northern extension of what body of water?
A: Caspian Sea
B: Persian Gulf
C: Bay of Bengal
D: Black Sea
She's not sure enough, so she does something that none of the couples could do last week- win at least $50,000! Answer here was the Black Sea.
Next is Mariel Jais. She polls the audience to get the $300 question right. After securing at least $1,000, she has this question for $2,000:
Which of these song titles does NOT contain a word that's also the brand name of a laundry detergent?
A: "The Tide is High"
B: "Surf City"
C: "Rocket Man"
D: "All Shook Up"
She uses the 50:50, leaving A and C. She then picks "Rocket Man", done by Elton John....right!
She gets up to this $25,000 question:
The Red Queen hypothesis, a scientific theory about evolution, takes its name from a character in what classic kids' book?
A: "Peter Pan"
B: "Mary Poppins"
C: "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"
D: "Through the Looking Glass"
Jais calls Charles, her boss at college. He says nothing, so she quits here with $16,000. Answer was D.
Sean McGrath is back tomorrow after getting the first $1,000.
"Chain Reaction" Bonus Round rules changed again
According to Buzzerblog, the bonus round rules have been changed yet again for the second season. Now, the winning team can add $5,000 to their maingame winnings if they succeed here.
They are now given 60 seconds to get five words or phrases right. When the team hits their bell to give an answer, the clock stops. After they take too long or give a right/wrong answer, the timer continues. If unsuccessful, the team gets $100 for each correct answer.
I hate this change. This makes the show more unwatchable for me.

RECAP: The Apprentice LA 2/11
After the last show, we're at an even playing field with seven members for each team left.
The challenge this week: Work with Sue Bee Honey. The people must go through the fields and make the honey, while having to deal with tons and tons of bees. They must bottle that honey and sell it to people at supermarkets. The team with the highest money wins; losers all face termination in the boardroom.
Sean, last season's winner, will oversee both teams' progress for Mr. Trump this show. Surya of Team Arrow (led once again by Aaron) complicates what is said to be an easy process. Aimee is the new project manager for Team Kinetic, who lost for the first time on the last show. Derek got stung lots of times when working in the fields. Aimee was said to be doing nothing while the team met at a room in the Sue Bee company building.
Back with Team Arrow- Tim and Frank are arguing after the team messed up putting the honey in some of the bottles at the honey factory.
When Team Kinetic got to the supermarket, Derek says that the team is NOT ready to sell the honey. As for Team Arrow, they are already handing out free samples of the honey, which may very well be spread on some other food. They are having a "buy two, get one free" sale on the honey. The team also wanted to sell the honey to some people at gas stations and some bakeries, but were rejected at the other places by the store owners.
Back with Kinetic, Derek thinks that Aimee is being too quiet on the team's situation, so he decides to try and save the team by putting on a bee suit to get people buzzing about their honey sale. They have a "two for $5" sale on the honey, and bring an Olympic Gold Medalist at the honey display to promote the honey, who is Angela Ruggiero! Remember, on the show's contestant list this season, Ruggiero is the sole Olympian on the show.
Sean calls Donald Trump on a cell phone just after he had made a speech to people. He tells him the results for this challenge. Arrow sold 217 bottles, and made $775.48. Kinetic......
...sold 345 bottles, and made $836.48, meaning they have redeemed themselves from the last challenge! That allows Aimee, despite being quiet for most of the challenge, to keep her leader post, and allow the team to rest in the mansion. Arrow must go back outside, and soon visit the boardroom.
Kinetic's reward is that they get to go to a practice basketball shootaround with Lakers all-time greats, as well as the team's head coach, Phil Jackson!
I say Tim and Frank are going to be in the most trouble at the boardroom. Frank hasn't been in this much danger since the season premiere. Surya, considering he complicated the honey-making process for the team earlier, is also in trouble too. At the boardroom, he says the team lost because they didn't have a solid plan, and the team was trying too hard to rely on themselves. He is blaming Aaron, the project manager, for the loss. He was said to have been quiet. Stefani wants Surya fired because he did not step up in his buisness work.
The final boardroom consists of Aaron, Surya and Nicole. Mr. Trump questions Aaron on why he wanted to bring Nicole. He is blaming her for the poor bulk sales, but Mr. Trump says "he is spitting". Surya says Aaron didn't sell too well. When Mr. Trump asks Surya how comfortable he is on the current team, he says he was more comfortable with Kinetic. Aaron and Surya have a shouting match afterwards. Mr. Trump complains about Aaron's quietness in the boardroom last week, as he was looking for his guidance then when making a decision on who to fire. As a result, Trump says, "AARON, YOU'RE FIRED."

RECAP: Survivor's Next Season Premiere
There were originally going to be 20 contestants to start, but one already quit before the boat's departure to shore! The 19 who get to shore try to open up, what I believe, are coconuts.
When the players are given their supplies, maps and directions, they are told they must find ALL of the hidden building supplies scattered in several places on the Fiji islands to build their shelter.
Sylvia Kwan is told to divide up the remainder of the other castaways into two groups.
Here's her order:
Green Tribe:
Cassandra Franklin
Liliana Gomez
Stacy Kimball
Lisi Linares
James Reid
Boo Bernis
Gary Stritesky
Alex Angarita
Edgardo Rivera
Orange Tribe:
Michelle Yi
Erica Durousseau
Rita Verreos
Jessica DeBen
Dre Herd
Earl Cole
Yau-Man Chan
Anthony Robinson
Mookie Lee
Kwan, however, is going to the new Exile Island, with tons of snakes that await her. But she is automatically going to the next round, and will get a clue to the whereabouts of the first Immunity Idol. She will replace the one member on a tribe that is voted out this show.
Time for the season's first Immunity Challenge:
The teams will race Aegean Chariots over mud flats. Two members of each team will ride on them, while the other seven members of each team will pull them. Along the way, the riders on each team must grab three bags of puzzle pieces, and then grab the tribe flag at the end, then go back to the start. Once that's done, four members of each tribe have to put together three puzzles. What is said on the completed puzzles will give them the combination they need to solve a combination wheel. The wheel has to be turned clockwise, counter-clockwise and clockwise again. Once that's done, they must open the last bag they landed on. If they did it right, a knife will be in the bag, and they must use it to cut a rope, which will unleash the team's big banner. The first team to complete all this wins immunity; losers go to Tribal Council, where one of them will be voted out of the game. The winning team also gets some extra furniture for their home base and stay on the original beach. The losers will be sent to a different beach where they will find only one pot and one machete at their home base.
The chariot riders for the Orange Tribe: Yi and DeBen. The Green riders are Kimball and Linares. The Orange riders are having trouble getting the first bag of puzzles pieces untied.
Neither team has much trouble untying bags after that, but the Green Tribe is ahead by a little bit. The Green Tribe is known as Moto, and the Orange Tribe is known as Ravo. Moto got tied up in a spot while on the way back, and Ravo takes over the lead! Moto is also slowing down!
Both teams get to the puzzles. Moto solves their three puzzles first, so all that stands between them and the win is that combination wheel. Remember, it's not as easy as it looks. But they have no trouble with it, and they are the Immunity winners! Ravo, it's Tribal Council time.
Yi and DeBen are immediate candidates for elimination, as DeBen had trouble with the puzzles.
Before we get to the voting, let's check on how Kwan is doing on Exile Island. She finds this clue:
Here you will find the idol you crave.
Search back at your camp if you hope to be saved.
At Tribal Council, Jeff Probst also considers Chan a possible candidate for elimination, because of his age.
First vote goes to Mookie.
Second vote goes to Rita.
Third vote goes to Jessica DeBen.
Fourth vote goes to Chan.
Fifth vote goes to DeBen.
Sixth vote goes to DeBen. One more vote and she is done.
Seventh vote goes to DeBen, so it's goodbye. I had a feeling the puzzles would kill her in the end.

RECAP: "1 vs. 100": LAST ONE STANDING!!!!
Well, this is it. This is the special episode where 100 mob members will compete against each other for a special $250,000 top prize.
We have several game show champions back with us, as well as some mob champions like Annie Duke.
Here's how it will work: one mob member is selected as the player at the podium. That person is......Annie Duke! If at any time she answers a question incorrectly, she is out and a new mob member is randomly chosen to be the next podium question. There is no money earned for each elimination for the ones who play at the podium. Only the last person standing wins all the money, which is $250,000. Also, no helps will be used tonight.

Which has more stories?
A: Chrysler Building
B: Transamerica Pyramid
C: The complete works of Stepehen King
Duke is puzzled. Her guess is Stephen King's stories. Actual answer.....
...Stephen King! Ten missed that, meaning only 5 are left! Brad Rutter and Nancy Christy are no longer in the game. Ken Jennings is still here! He is the only one of the game show greats still left. New question:
To keep from burning while baking at the beach, the Pillsbury Doughboy should put on protection with a high what?
A: RFD
B: MLK
C: SPF

It's time to begin a new regular game. The regular player is Raul Haurez from Van Nuys, California. In the mob this game: five paparazzi guys and seven Hawaii Tropic ladies.
He got the first question right, knocking out 17 mob members for $17,000. Two Hawaiian Tropic models were eliminated. On the second question he got right, 8 missed it, giving him $25,000. Two paparazzi guys were eliminated. He answered the last preliminary question right about the song "Amazing Grace", and KOed 2 mob members, giving him $27,000.
He answered the first $2,000 question about Acid Reflux, which he is suffering from RIGHT NOW!!! Funny! But no one got that wrong. He also got the question right about "The Wizard of Oz", and 12 missed it for $24,000, giving him $51,000 so far. He will return next week.

TPIR: Christopher Cole is first, who is from the Canadian military! He plays Check Game for a bed. Remember, his check guess in cash will be added to the ARP of the bed. If the total falls within $5,000-$6,000, he wins the money and the bed. His guess for the money is $2,300.
If that bed is $2,700-$3,700, he's a winner. The ARP: $3,260, meaning he wins a total of $5,560!
Jeremy Bosner is second, who gets to play Plinko! He sweeps the small prizes, meaning he has five chips to work with. First chip lands in $10,000! Second chip lands in the left $500 slot. Third chip lands in the right $1,000 slot. Fourth chip lands in the same slot. The last chip lands in nothing, so he finishes with $12,500!
Kathleen Pearson then plays Any Number for a clock or a Ford Ranger (Std., Wheels, AC). First number in the truck is 1. She guesses 8 first....first number of the clock. She then guesses 7....that's the second number of the clock ($ 8 7 _ ). She then guesses 9.....fourth number of the truck ($ 1 _, _ 9 _). She then guesses 6.....the piggy bank's at least $6 today. Pearson says 5, which is the second number of the truck ($ 1 5, _ 9 _). She continues her number countdown strategy by saying 4.....that's the second number of the piggy bank ($ 6. 4 _). She breaks that pattern by saying 0, which is at the end of the truck ($ 1 5, _ 9 0). Her last guess is....
....3, and she wins the truck ($ 1 5, 3 9 0)! The clock is $872, and the piggy bank is $6.41.
SSD1: Cole spins 35....and 15 for 50 cents. Bosner spins 20....and 60 for 80 cents. Pearson spins 20.....and 75 to win with 95 cents!

Turner thinks the most expensive one is to Miami. Seattle is $2,983. New Orleans is $3,187.
Miami is $4,868 and she wins all the trips!
David Hood is fifth to play Dice Game for a Dodge Caravan (Fairly Loaded). First number is 2.
He rolls a 4 and is wrong. He says higher and loses immediately. That's a shame, because he got the third and fourth numbers exactly right, and got the fifth digit decision correct. ARP: $21,264.
Darlene Maxwell is last to play Hi-Lo for a living room. She says the sleeping aid, which is $9.95.
Next is the Udderly Smooth balm, which is $3.88. Last pick is the Fresh Clense, which is $4.69. All the other products must be less than $3.88 to win. The sunflower seeds are $1.09. The cookies are 55 cents. The popcorn is $2.39 and she wins!
Hood gets into the Showcase.
First Showcase consists of a dining room and motorcycles. The man is given this one, and bids $7,400. For the lady, some models are going camping, but they're having issues. Someone doesn't want to go without a hair dryer, but the other desperately wants a generator.
The other model wants to look good, and doesn't want to camp without a new mirror. Next, the first model looks like she'll miss this show, so she wants to bring a new TV. And finally, they obviously can't camp without a new Pionner trailer! She bids $15,000.
ARP for the man: $19,418, a difference of $12,018. ARP for the lady: $17,324, meaning she wins! Total: $33,888.
Family Feud: Only covering Game 2 today. In this game, the Sedraks are defending once more against the Scotts. The Scotts score first with 78 on things your husbands might find you doing, according to 100 married women. The champs fire back with 82 on subjects people fear that a 10-year-old knows more about then they do.
Double: Jobs teenagers need to make money. Starting with:
#1-
#2- Yard work (26, Geraldine)
#3- Babysitting (20, Dave)
#4-
#5-
The Scotts play. Anthony says sell newspapers.....misses the board. Angenette says fast food restaurants....all restaurant workers are #1 (32)! Adrianne says working at the mall....NO.
Cynthia says sell candy....three strikes. For the champion steal, David says washing cars....
NO, so the Scotts go to 234! Others: supermarket (13), lifeguard (4).
Triple: According to 100 married men, what do you do when your wife is in a foul mood?
Sam says buy flowers....but that's the bottom answer (3). The other player's answer is a dud, so the champs get to play. Ash says leave the house....NUMBER ONE (69)! David says give her a massage....being nice/listening is #2 (23)! #3 is left for the game. Brian says #3 is cook her food....NO. Dave says nothing. Back to Sam, who says take her out somewhere for the win....
NO! This steal is for the game. Adrianne says apologize to make the Scotts the new champs....
...NO, so the Sedraks remain champs at 367! #3 was getting upset (3).
Fast Money: Sam and Brian play this one out.
1. The age when children should start doing chores.
2. Something hung on classroom walls.
3. A country known for its beautiful beaches.
4. Name something in a bakery besides bread.
5. Name something you might be at the end of.
Brian runs out of time on the last question. He says 14 (BAD?!?!), pictures, Hawaii (REALLY BAD), and dough (REALLY BAD) for a whopping (yeah, right) 6 points. Sam says 8, blackboard, Fiji (he duplicated Hawaii!!!!), cake (#1) and line for 89 and $445 today, $20,965 for three games.
WWTBAM: Well, this is the end of Pay for your Wedding Week. This week has NOT gone the way I had hoped for. Up to this point this season, we have not had a week where we have had no winner of at least $50,000. I would really hate for that streak to come to a halt at the hands of our couples. Returning today is Steve Szeredy and Melissa Caldwell. They had to phone someone to get the $4,000 question right. They then get up to this $25,000 question:
Established in 1945, the Oder-Neisse Line defined a border between Germany and what country?
A: Hungary
B: Austria
C: Poland
D: Czechoslovakia
They are debating over whether to use the 50:50. They use it, leaving the bottom two. But they quit. Answer was Poland, which is what they would've guessed. Darn.
Last couple is Ralph Brutus and Andrea Ault. They got to $25,000, but missed their $50,000 question right away. So the $50,000 winning streak is officially over. Bummer.
WOF: Wrapping up a very interesting first week from Charleston, S.C., our players tonight are
Cody Carlton, Erin Crawford and Kendra Anderson. Crawford got the $2,000 Toss-Up to start Round 1, which has a category of Same Name. After Anderson calls the O's, we have...
F R O N T
_ O R _ _
&
_ O O _
S _ _ N G S
She calls the C for $300, then gets the Wild Card with an H. Next, she calls the P for $550, and calls the W for $600, then calls the I. She calls the M for $600, and solves FRONT PORCH & MOOD SWINGS for $2,400!
Jackpot Round category is Food and Drink, and this is a big puzzle, so the Wild Card of Anderson's could come into play here. After she calls the E's, we have...
E _ T R _
_ R _ S _ _
_ R _ E _
_ _ _ _ _ E _
_ _ T _
_ _ S _ E _
_ _ T _ T _ E S
I think I know this already. But she hits Lose a Turn. A few turns later, Carlton calls three H's, and solves EXTRA CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN WITH MASHED POTATOES for $3,900, taking the lead with $4,900.
$10,000 Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Place. After calling the I's, Carlton has this showing:
L _ _ _ R I _ _ S
S _ I
C _ A L E T
I don't know this at all....but he does, solving LUXURIOUS SKI CHALET for $1,750 and a trip to cold Switzerland! New total: $11,150.
Anderson quickly solves USE IT OR LOSE IT for $3,000, taking her to $5,400. Remember, she has the Wild Card. Speed-Up Round category is Occupation, with consonants worth $1,600 each. After Carlton calls the C's, we have...
_ _ N _ S C _ _ _
_ _ C H _ T _ C T
I know the second word, but he draws a blank. Crawford calls the R, but can't solve. Anderson calls the A's, and we have...
_ A N _ S C A _ _
A R C H _ T _ C T
...and she solves LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT for $4,800, but at $10,200, it's not enough, as Carlton is our champion with $11,150.
He spins the S in BONUS. Category is Phrase. Starting with:
_

"I GOT.....MY WISH." YES INDEED! That was a tough one, but he wins $25,000 for a total of $36,150! Next week, some country music stars will team up with contestants on Country Music Stars Week!
Jeopardy!: To wrap up the first round, we have David Walter, Caroline Jones and Heidi Fogle.
If the runners-up this game want to advance, they must beat $14,950 and $17,500. Walter finds the Daily Double early in Historical Text Messages, and got it right to go to $1,900.
There was even a clue about "American Idol", and one about Gwen Stefani! Walter has a big early lead with $5,100 heading into the first break. That lead continues to grow, and at the end of the round, he's blowing the girls away with $10,700!
Fogle tries to get something going early on in Double Jeopardy! But Walter continues to build on his lead. He finds the first Daily Double in The Good Earth with $17,900 in play. Fogle has $8,800 and Jones has $2,600. He bets $3K:
Because it passes through a London borough, the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude has this other name.
"What is the Grenwich Mean?".....too much info. Mean should have been left out. Now, it's not a runaway for Walter, at least for now. Walter makes a few more mistakes, and Fogle capitalizes. She finds the other Daily Double in States of the Union with $11,600. Walter has $14,900 and Jones has $3,000. Fogle bets $3,300. To tie the game:
13-year-old Benny Benson's winning design for this state's flag included The Big Dipper.
"What is Alaska?".....TIE GAME! A later clue in Before and After had Vanna White as part of the right response! At the end, Walter has the lead back with $19,300. Fogle has $17,700 and Jones has $5,800.
FJ! category: Tourism.
The 2 leading foreign destination countries for U.S. tourists.
Jones has "What are London and Paris?".....uh, those are cities. And she loses it all, meaning she's going home with $5,000. Fogle has "What are Canada and Mexico?"....RIGHT! That adds $4,000 to her total, meaning she is in the next round with $21,700, win or lose. Walter has....
the right response, and bets $1,005. That's not enough to take the win tonight from Fogle, but both of them are going to the semi-finals anyway! Frank Firke, with $17,500, joins them too.
If that bed is $2,700-$3,700, he's a winner. The ARP: $3,260, meaning he wins a total of $5,560!
Jeremy Bosner is second, who gets to play Plinko! He sweeps the small prizes, meaning he has five chips to work with. First chip lands in $10,000! Second chip lands in the left $500 slot. Third chip lands in the right $1,000 slot. Fourth chip lands in the same slot. The last chip lands in nothing, so he finishes with $12,500!
Kathleen Pearson then plays Any Number for a clock or a Ford Ranger (Std., Wheels, AC). First number in the truck is 1. She guesses 8 first....first number of the clock. She then guesses 7....that's the second number of the clock ($ 8 7 _ ). She then guesses 9.....fourth number of the truck ($ 1 _, _ 9 _). She then guesses 6.....the piggy bank's at least $6 today.

She breaks that pattern by saying 0, which is at the end of the truck ($ 1 5, _ 9 0). Her last guess is....
....3, and she wins the truck ($ 1 5, 3 9 0)! The clock is $872, and the piggy bank is $6.41.
SSD1: Cole spins 35....and 15 for 50 cents. Bosner spins 20....and 60 for 80 cents. Pearson spins 20.....and 75 to win with 95 cents!

Miami is $4,868 and she wins all the trips!

RECAP: Beauty and the Geek III Semifinals
Nate and Ceci.
Neils and JennyLee.
Scooter and Megan.
One of these three teams by next week will win $250,000.
The rules are different now. Both players on each team must do the next challenges and study up on the same material. Each team must study up on Wild West stuff. The challenge this week will take place at a local ranch.
The challenge is a series of tasks. First, the teams must bring five bales of hay down a hill. Second, they must go to their designated stalls and milk their cow. The cow's milk must be filled to the bottom line of the bottle to move on. Finally, the teams must grab six sheep tags from a pack of sheep and then put them on a stand. The first team to do all this goes to the finals automatically.
One team has some of their bales of hay fall apart before they got down the hill! That's not good. Nate and Cecille have the early lead heading into the second part. Neils and JennyLee finish the first task second. The cow farted on Ceci!!!! Hilarious! But Scooter and Megan sneak into the lead, and wind up winning the challenge! They're the first team in the finals! One member of a team prior to the challenge said the team who just won were the ones to watch out for in this challenge. Boy, were they ever!
After the challenge, the teams were treated to a feast and a hoedown! They even got to watch their own bios on a TV!
Now, to determine the other finalists. It's Niels and JennyLee vs. Nate and Cecille. The ladies start the action. Ceci chooses #1:
What animal results from the breeding of a male donkey and a female horse?
"A mule." Right you are! JennyLee picks #2:
What is the name of the part of the saddle that was shown on the TV?
"Strap.".....RIGHT! Tie game. Cecille chooses #4:
In your local market, some cuts of meat are USDA Approved. What do those initals stand for?
"United States Department of Agriculture." BULLSEYE! Last question for JennyLee:
Mutton is a type of meat derived by what animal?
"Sheep?"....RIGHT!! The men will decide this.
Nate chooses #1:
In a bull riding competition, how many seconds must a rider must stay on the bull after getting out of the gate, in order to receive a score?
"I believe that's 8 seconds." Bingo! Neils chooses #2:
The cantle and the girth are both parts of what essential cowboy accessory?
"I am going to go with the saddle." Another tie! Nate chooses #4:
Name the country singer married to Tim McGraw.
"Faith Hill." BAM! Neils must get #3 for a tiebreaker:
The Chismholm Trail, one of the most famous cattle trails in U.S. history, began in Texas and ended in what state?
"California?"........
....NO!!!! It's Kansas. To be more specific, the trail ended in Abilene, Kansas. That means Nate and CeCille are the other finalsts!

RECAP: Nashville Star 2007- Original Song Night
As the title of the post states, each of the remaining singers has to perform an original song of their own. At the start of the show, judge Randy Owen performs a song!
All five singers will perform tonight, and after that, one singer is out. Joshua Stevens sings first. He started great for the first few notes, but was lackluster after that. I give him a 5. Queen Anastasia says he had courage to sing that song. Randy says he loved the song and thought he did a great job. Blake says the song made him cry.
BTW, the bottom two in audience voting have been revealed- the last singer who just performed and Whitney Duncan. As of right now, I have NO clue who's going home.
Duncan performs, and she did very well. I gave it an 8! Blake says the title of the song threw him off. Randy thought she did very well, and wished she had done that song earlier. Queen Anastasia asks when was the last time it was an insult to be hot.
Next week to start the show, Cowboy Troy and John Rich!
The third-highest vote getter is Zac Hacker. I gave his latest performance a 9! During the performance, it looks like his dad was crying. Queen Anastasia says she was so glad he sang that song, because it was the right one in her opinion. Blake says "It was a monumental moment".
Randy congratulated him for singing a real song, and he told him he shouldn't forget songs like this one.
Second-most votes go to David St. Romain. I gave him a 9 too (If he had been louder for most of the time, I would have given him a 10)! Blake says as he started, the song sounded too similar to other songs, but thought he liked it in the end. Queen Anastasia said the song was fairly forgettable. Randy says the song wasn't that strong, but says the performance will take him to better things.
Obviously, the big vote-getter is Angela Hacker! She still sounded perfect to me- I gave her another 10! Randy says he wants fans to buy tickets to see that performance again. Queen Anastasia said that was amazing, and had goosebumps at times! Blake says she loved her!
Now, either Joshua Stevens or Whitney Duncan will be eliminated. Duncan escaped elimination last week, despite doing what I thought was the WORST performance of the season two weeks ago. Has that performance shot her down tonight? The next person to go home.......
....IS..........
....NOBODY!!! Jewel explains that due to technical difficulties with some votes last week caused by the weather last week, no one is eliminated this week. As of right now, only one person will be cut next week. My scores as of right now:
Angela Hacker- 49
David St. Romain- 40
Zac Hacker-36
Joshua Stevens-33
Whitney Duncan- 32
All five singers will perform tonight, and after that, one singer is out. Joshua Stevens sings first. He started great for the first few notes, but was lackluster after that. I give him a 5. Queen Anastasia says he had courage to sing that song. Randy says he loved the song and thought he did a great job. Blake says the song made him cry.
BTW, the bottom two in audience voting have been revealed- the last singer who just performed and Whitney Duncan. As of right now, I have NO clue who's going home.
Duncan performs, and she did very well. I gave it an 8! Blake says the title of the song threw him off. Randy thought she did very well, and wished she had done that song earlier. Queen Anastasia asks when was the last time it was an insult to be hot.

2/8/2007 Results
TPIR: Starting with Charisma Cobari, who plays Triple Play for a Pontiac Vibe (Std., AT), a Ford F-150 (Std.) and a Ford Mustang Convertible (Std.). For the Vibe, we have $16,213 and $19,625 as prices. She guesses $19,625 and loses immediately. ARP was $18,145.
Rhonda Calepio is next to play Pushover for a spa. Board:
699584077
Her guess is $5,840, but she should have gone all the way to the end, because it's $6,995.
Makenzie Yearly is next to play Danger Price for a range, surfboards, a guitar and stemware.
Danger Price this day is $504. She picks the surfboards first, and I groaned at that....but they're $1,000. She picks the range next, which is $1,349. Final pick is the stemware.....but that's $504! Mean setup. Mean! But she did get into the Showcase.
Next is Mark Magnelio, who plays That's Too Much for a Dodge Nitro SXT 4X2 (Std., Paint, Mats). First is $14,310. Second is $16,005. Third is $18,331. Fourth is $20,950, and he says THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!!.....and is the first winner of the show! ARP is $20,140.
Next is Brian Bills, who plays for a trip to Vancouver in Now or Then?. Then is August 1998.
Products are Baby Magic, storage bag, Gold Bond lotion, Altoids, Hot Poclets and Mylanta.
First pick is the Altoids marked at $1.99, and he says now.....then. Next is the Hot Pockets marked at $2.49, and he says now.....right. Next is the Mylanta marked at $6.99- he says now. and is right again. It comes down to the Baby Magic, marked at $4.09. He says then and wins!
Finally, we have Katherine Whitmore play for a home gym and a recliner. The One Right Price is $1,320, and she thinks that's the cost of the recliner....YES! Gym was $2,199.
The lady spins first, who gets a quarter....and 65 for 90 cents total. Bills spins 55.....and goes over. Magnelio spins 85....and goes over.
Showcase #1 features a model trying to find long-lost TPIR prizes as she uses scrolls. First, the scroll says "Look for one that glitters", which refers to a diamond ring. Second, the scroll says,
"The passage to great views rests on that which views you"... which refers to you possibly standing on the Eiffel Tower in Paris! Finally, the scroll says, "The 16th letter of the alphabet is the key to freedom"....referring to the first letter of a car, a PT Cruiser (Std., AC, ALB)! Whitmore bids $28,000 on this. Yearly visits the Train Depot and finds a day bed, a pool table and a snowmobile. She bids $16,500. The podiums malfunction as we go to the final break!
ARP for Yearly: $15,547, so she's over and leaves with parting gifts. ARP for Whitmore: $28......430! Just missed a DSW again, but we do avoid a Double Overbid and she wins $32,721 in prizes.
Family Feud: Trying again to crown the 9th undefeated family of the season, we have the Allphins going for it all against the Hafezs. The challengers score first with 75 on things we best associate with Peter Pan. They go to 144 on things that can be hard to do backwards than forwards.
Double: Something your parents will criticize you for not having. Starting with:
#1-
#2-
#3- Education/dimploma (10, Mohammed)
#4-
#5-
#6-
The Hafezs keep on going. First answer is money/savings.....#4 (10). Adel says spouse....bottom (6). Mazen says being out of shape....bad. Next is a job....it's #1, but only 19 said that. Mohammed says no respect....NO. Mahmoud is back to say clothes.....three strikes. Brenna of the champs says respect for friends, and I groaned at that....and no wonder. The Hafezs are up to 234. Others: car (10), children (6).
Triple: Phrases that start with "Walk the". Brookie says line.....NUMBER ONE (41), so the champs will try to force a playoff! Wanda says walk....#3 (24)! Brenna says dog.....#2 (26)! I think I know what #4 is. With 273 in the bank, it is actually possible they may win the game if they sweep the board. Brittany says plank. If it's there, we at least go to a playoff. But if 9 people said that, they have come all the way back to win this game at 300! It's........there, but only 6 said it, so we go to a playoff.
Sudden Death: Wanda and Adel represent the teams. Question: Name something people do at the party that has people talking about you on Monday. #1 answer is drinking......
.....AND THE ALLPHINS ARE FIVE TIME CHAMPS AT 459!!
Fast Money: Brenna and Brittany take it to the board one last time.
1. A food that a person dreams about at night while on a diet.
2. Name a bill you open that can shock you.
3. A reason a baby might be cranky.
4. Name something people do that might make them go to sleep.
5. Someone who might try to put you on a blind date.
Brenna says chocolate, electricity, no sleep, praying and moms for 100. Brittany says cake, water, dirty diapers, set the table and friends (#1) for.....$20,000!! They were at 154 heading into the last answer, which was the ONLY number one answer given the whole round! What a win! Final total for them: $42,360!
WWTBAM: On Day 4 of Pay for your Wedding Week, we start this day with Michael Chinnici and Felicia Flores. They struggled on the middle tier questions, and wound up leaving with $1,000 after missing the $16,000 question despite using the 50:50.
Steve Szeredy and Melissa Caldwell get the $2,000 question right with audience help, and start with the $4,000 question tomorrow.
WOF: Tonight's players have some HUGE shoes to fill after last night. They are: Brian Jones (in the blue), Judy Shepard and Marcella Hoile. Round 1 category is Occupation. Maercella won the $2,000 Toss-Up to start this round. After she gets control back and calls the A's and the O's, we have...
_ R O A _ _ A S T
_ O _ R N A _ I S T
I'm trying to be one of these. She calls a $600 B and solves BROADCAST JOURNALIST for $1,650 and $3,650 total.
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food and Drink. Early on, after Jones calls the E's, we have...
_ _ T T E R _
E _ _ _ _ _ _
T _ _ _ E E
I know this already. But he hits Lose a Turn. Shepard calls an S for $300, but her A call is a dud. The woman in the middle gets the Free Spin by calling the F's, then gets $300 with the Y. She then gets the BBQ Galore gift certificate with a B, then calls the I, and solves BUTTERY ENGLISH TOFFEE for $50, the gift tag and a trip to London! Her total now is $9,200.
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Best Seller. Shepard hits a Mystery Wedge immediately and gets frightened by the sound! She calls two T's and flips.....but for the first time in a while, it's a Bankrupt. Other Mystery Wedge is out of play, and is now a normal $1,000 space. She loses the Free Spin, but on her extra turn, she gets the Wild Card with two H's. After calling two G's later on, we have...
_ I _ N I G H T
I N
T H E
G _ _ _ E N
O _
G O O _
_ N _
E _ I _
..and she solves MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL to go to $15,050! Remember, she still has the Wild Card.
After she goofs on the $3,000 Toss-Up with LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL, Shepard says MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL to get on the board! Speed-Up Round category is Living Things.
Consonants worth $1,300. After she calls the R, we have...
_ _ _ N T
S _ _
T _ R T _ _ S
...but she can't solve. Mercella calls the L, but still can't solve. The man calls the G, and he knew this a few turns ago- GIANT SEA TURTLES to finish with $4,900. For the second night in a row, the champion gets to use the Wild Card in the Bonus Round- this time, it's Marcella Hoile with $15,050!
She spins the last zero. Category is Things. Starting with:
_ _ _ N _
_ E _ S
She calls F, M, P, G and I and gets....
P I _ N _
_ E _ S
...but she says nothing! It was PIANO KEYS! Darn. At least she only lost out on $30,000.
Jeopardy!: Ben Schenkel, Naomi Hinchen and Frank Firke are our Teen Tournament players tonight. These players need to earn at least $10,001 in fake money today to at least get into Wild Card contention. One category was about cartoons. Schenkel gets the Daily Double early in State Capitals with $400, and got it right to add $1,000. He gets on a roll late in the round, and at the end, he leads with $8,200. Hinchen has $5,800, and Firke has four large.
Firke finds the first Daily Double on the third clue of DJ! in Exploration. He has $5,200. Hinchen has $5,800. He bets $3K:
In 1769, this Brit found Tahiti by sailing west until he ran into it.
"Who is Cook?".....he has tied the game with Schenkel at $8,200! While their tight match is going on, Hinchen quietly gets in this game too with $11,000 at one point! After getting the $2,000 clue in You're Not Going Out Wearing That, she now leads with $13,800! Schenkel gets the $400 clue in Ballet to tie her! But Hinchen gets the $2,000 clue in All About Animals to take the lead back! All three players were randomly looking for the other Daily Double very late in the round. Schenkel finds it under the $1,600 clue in Ballet. He has $15,000 at this point, and trails Hinchen by $800. Firke has $13,400. Schenkel bets $10,000. Oh, baby. The all-important clue:
A flurry of ballerinas performs the "Waltz of the Snowflakes" in this beloved ballet.
"What is The Nutcracker?".....
....RIGHT!! He has a big lead with $25,000! At the end of the round, he has $26,200. Hinchen has $18,600, and Firke has $13,400. This is the best game of the tourney so far!
FJ! category: Novels.
It was partly inspired by Owen Chase's narrative of the shipwreck of the whale-ship Essex.
Firke says "What is Moby Dick?"....RIGHT! He adds $4,100 to go to $17,500. Hinchen has that too and adds $3,800 for $22,400. Schenkel says Robinson Crusoe instead.....
...and drops $7,001 to finish in second with $19,199, and it means Hinchen is an automatic semi-finalist! Despite the loss, Schenkel's score is the best of the Wild Carders so far, so he's automatically in as well as Myles Jefferey!
Wild Card Standings (X beside name means he/she has clinched semifinal spot):
X1. Ben Schenkel- $19,199
X2. Myles Jefferey- $17,808
3. Frank Firke- $17,500
4. Heidi Liu- $14,950
That unfortunately means that Kristin Briggs, and my Virginian Eliza Urban are out of here. They leave the tourney with $5,000 each.

2/7/2007 Results
TPIR: Michael Clark was first to play Lucky Seven for a Pontiac Grand Prix (Std., Security, Heater). First number is 2. Clark's first second number guess is 1, but it's actually a 3, so he gives $2. Next guess on the third number is 5, and he loses $1 there, because it's 4. The fourth number guess is 8, and another dollar goes out, because it's 7. $3 left, and he can't miss the last number by more than 2. But his last number guess of 5 is on the nose, winning him the $23,475 car and $2!
Jolee Ho is next to play Grand Game for $10,000. Target price is $7, and the products are a storage bag, Gold Bond lotion, Poli-Grip, Clorox, Hot Pockets and Stress Eez. Her first pick is the Hot Pockets, which are $2.49. Next is the Clorox, which is $1.99. Next is the lotion, but that's $8.95, so she finishes with $100.
Anthony Dowell then plays Flip Flop for a TV. Board:
6289
A Flip means $2,689 as the guess. A Flop means $6,298 is the guess. A Flip Flop means a guess of $2,698. He Flips after wanting to Flop.....but it's $2,698! Never would have guessed that. The reveal button falls apart at the end!
SSD1: Anthony spins 40....and goes over. Jolene spins the dollar for $1,000, and so does Michael! In the spinoff, the lady spins 80 cents. The man spins just 60, so the lady is in the Showcase.
Virginia (!) Reyesneff is fourth to play Pocket Change for a Dodge Dakota (Std., AT, Mats, Axle,
PProt). First number is 2, and the remaining numbers are 1, 4, 6, 7 and 9. For the second number, she says 4, but is wrong. She then says 1, and is right. For the third number, she says 7, but is wrong. Next guess is 9, but she is wrong again. Next is 4, but is wrong again, so it's the 6. Now for the fourth number. She first says 4, and is right. Then she says 7 for the last digit, but it's 9. The truck ARP is $21,649, and it sells today for $1.50. She starts with 25 cents. The first envelope has a dime. The second has another dime. The third has a quarter. With 70 cents so far, the only way to win now is to find the $2.....but it is not there, so she loses.
Clara Vasquez then plays Clock Game for a recliner and a portable spa, and $1,000. The recliner is $788. First guess is $499....$599.....$799....$699....$680.....and she struggles to win the recliner. I thought she might win because of what she did earlier, because the spa was $899, but she forgets the trick and doesn't win! Darn.
Finally, Suzanne Montoya plays Buy or Sell for a dining set marked at $2,840, a popcorn cart marked at $2,538, and a BBQ marked at $549. She sells the dining set, but it's $3,240, meaning she starts $400 in the hole. Next, she sells the popcorn cart, but it's $2,038, meaning she loses another $500! The BBQ must be at least $1,549 to win. It.....IS, so she wins $100 and all three prizes! And she's in the Showcase!
First Showcase features Rachel getting good and bad news. First, the good news is Rachel got a newspaper having lottery numbers, but the bad news is that Lanisha shredded it up and gave it to the dog in a new doghouse. Next, more bad news for Rachel- her dog went with Lanisha's friend to Cancun! Finally, the dog liked the place so much, that he went on top of a new Sea Doo ski boat! This is passed to Ho, who bids $24K. For Montoya, we have a living room, carpeting, flowers and a baby grand piano. She bids $25,000.
ARP for Ho: $29,916, a difference of $5,916. ARP for Montoya: $25......400, meaning she stopped the Dob on that Showcase and wins $34,797 in prizes!
WOF: Tonight, Becca Rhine (in the yellow), Doug Schmidt and Ayoka Lewis play. Rhine gets the first two Toss-Ups. Round 1 category is Song Lyrics, and it's tonight's Prize Puzzle! After Schmidt calls the F's, we have...
E _ E _ _ _ _ _ _' S
_ _ N E
S U _ F _ N '
S U _ F _ N '
U.S.A.
I know this now. He calls the I's, and a $550 D. Then, he calls a $600 G, and says EVERYONE'S GONE SURFIN' SURFIN' U.S.A., but he hasn't been watching the board and doesn't remember the song, so he's wrong. Lewis calls two Y's, then calls the R's to get the $10,000, and solves EVERYBODY'S GONE SURFIN' SURFIN' U.S.A. for $11,600 and a trip to Hawaii! Total: $16,100!
Jackpot Round category is Before and After. After the winner of the last round calls the U, we have...
K N E E
J O I N T
_ _ E _ K I N G
A _ _ O U N T
...and she says KNEE JOINT BREAKING AMOUNT...NO. Rhine calls a dud. But Schmidt lands on $3,500 and calls 4 C's for $14,000, and solves KNEE JOINT CHECKING ACCOUNT for $15,800!
$10,000 Mystery Round category is Food and Drink. In the middle of the round, Schmidt calls two S's, and flips the Mystery Wedge.....$10,000! But he calls an M, which is a dud next. A few spins later, Rhine picks up the Wild Card with three C's, and we have...
_ E C A N- C R _ S T E _
C A T _ I S _
_ I L L E T
...and she solves PECAN-CRUSTED CATFISH FILLET for $1,000 and $4,000.
She then solves THE ATLANTIC COAST to go to $7,000. Speed-Up Round category is Thing, and $6,000 for every consonant found! After she calls three C's, we have...
C _ N T _ M _ _ R A R _
A R T
C _ L L _ C T _ _ N
...and she solves CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTION for a whopping $54,000, which ties the one-round maingame record, and she has won $61,000 so far- all cash!! And she's got the Wild Card, so she gets to use another consonant in the bonus round!! What a night!
We've given away close to $100,000 so far. Let's see if it really adds up in the Bonus Round.
She spins the 1. Category is Thing. Starting with:
_ L _ _ _ _ L E
Rhine calls G, P, B, H and I and gets....
_ L _ G P _ L E
She says FLAGPOLE! Now, if this is $100,000, we have a new all-time winner on this show. She has won.....
....A MOTORHOME!! No $100,000, but she's the biggest winner of the season anyway! Total: $128,177!!!!
Jeopardy!: Myles Jefferey, Allison Dziuba and Caroline Bartman play in Day 3 of the Teen Tournament. Dziuba takes the early lead with $4,200 into the first break. The Daily Double in this round is saved until the last category of Biblical Speakers Bureau, and it's a tight match.
Bartman finds it while she's tied for second with Jefferey at $4,200, and Dziuba has $5,400.
She bets $2,200:
"Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth."
"Who is Deliliah?".....right for the lead at $6,400! At the end of the round, she leads with $7,200. Dziuba has $5,400, and Jefferey has $4,200.
You Get an "F" is the alleged sequel to You Get an "A". That should be interesting. Jefferey tries to catch up to the leader by getting a few clues early on. But Bartman catches fire with three clues to build her lead. But the woman in the middle finds the Daily Double in Islands with $6,600 in tow. She tries to get into the game by risking five grand:
This third-largest round in the worlf is shared by Brunel, Malaysia and Indonesia.
"What is Java?"......NO. What is Borneo? She's all but out of this now. The shootout between Jefferey and Bartman continues. But the other lady has to find the other Daily Double in Native Americans with only $2,400! She bets it all:
With some 280,000 members, this tribe, largely concentrated in Oklahoma, is the largest in the U.S.
"What is the Sioux?".....NO. What is the Cherokee Tribe? She then misses the last clue of the round in that category and is automatically sent home with $5,000. Tough luck.
So, it's definitely an interesting showdown between Jefferey and Bartman in FJ!. The category is Scientists. The clue:
On the front lines during WWI, she drove ambulances that she had helped equip with X-ray machines.
Jefferey says "Who is Marie Curie?"....RIGHT! He adds $4,008 to his $13,800, and he now has $17,808. The lady has $19,600, and she has the right response too, so she's in the next round!
The man played this situation the right way, and should be in good shape for a Wild Card spot. In fact, he leads the Wild Card standings! Here they are, right now:
Myles Jefferey- $17,808
Heidi Liu- $14,950
Kristin Briggs- $13,801
Eliza Urban- $10,000

A: "Of Kingdoms and Glory"
B: "Hornpipe"
C: "Trumpet Voluntary"
D: "Orb and Sceptre"
They have no clue, so they use the 50:50, leaving the bottom two. They then call George, who is Borrett's grandfather. He says C as his best guess. But on Borrett's advice, the couple disagrees with the grandfather and says D......THE GRANDFATHER WAS RIGHT!!!!! Darn. But, at least they had a good time.
Dustin Davis and Suzanne Gandley won $16,000 on their stay as the show ends.
Family Feud: The Allphins are on the fourth day defending against the McMahans. Wait til' you hear this first question- If you won Fast Money, what would you do with it? The challengers get the first 84 points out of that question. They go to 159 on things from the kitchen they might accidentally stuff inside a turkey. I've never heard of people stuffing odd things inside a turkey before. And in both rounds, the champs got the board down to one answer before striking out, and the McMahans stole their points!
Double: Something that you hope your mate doesn't ask you for, according to 100 men. Starting with:
#1- Smoking (28, Troy)
#2-

The challengers play. Laura says the remote control....nowhere. Chad says friends.....#2 (14)! Ann says shopping.....NO. Stephanie says drinking....#4 (9). Back to Troy with cursing....STRIKEOUT. For the champion steal, Brenna says sex.....NO, so the McMahans are at 257! Others: sports (11), gambling (6).

Johnell says he was swallowed by a whale.....it's there for 285 and a playoff!
Sudden Death: Wanda and Chad are the representatives. Question: Name a part of the body that can have liposuction put on it. #1 answer is stomach.....

2. A way a steak can be ordered at a restaurant.
3. Besides a pole, something a fisherman uses.

Brian says Christams, medium well, bait (#1), deodorant, and cat for 152! Sam says a family reunion first...that's #1 and 32 said it! 16 to go. Next answer is well done.....say that a lot, because they've won $20,000! Medium rare was #1 for the steak question.
DOND: Their night started off with Emika Porter. She has met Howie Mandel before, and it was the time when he came to her house personally to tell her she's on the show! And like the last game, it's a Double Deal game! Her pick is #22, which makes sense to me.
Round 1: Porter starts the game with #5....$20! Second is #26....$600! Third is #16....$150!
Fourth is #10.....$100! Fifth is #11....$600,000. Last is #25....$200! Great round. First offer she turns down: $50,000, which is a NEW RECORD for a first offer in any game!
Round 2: Porter starts with #8.....$800,000. Next is #14....$1,500,000. Third is #3....$400,000. Fourth is #13....$2! Much better. Lastly, she picks #7....$20,000. Second offer she turns down:
$61,000.
Round 3: This time, she opens the round by picking #9....$150,000. Next is #21....$10,000.
Third is #17....$1,000,000. Last pick is #6....$800. Third offer she turns down: $68,000.
Round 4: First, she picks #15....$2,000. Second, she picks #19.....$100,000. Final pick is #1....$1,500. Nice round. Next offer: $84,000. NO DEAL.
Round 5: Porter calls out #18....$50! Other pick is #4....$200,000. Safety net on the big prize is gone. Left on the board: two pennies, $10, $400, $1,000, $50,000 and the $2,000,000. The new offer is $170,000. NO DEAL, after a lot of flinching.
Porter's next choice is #24......
.....$2,000,000-OUT OF HERE. As someone in the family said, "Stick with your gut". She eventually takes a $15,000 deal. Good thing she got out too- SHE HAD TWO PENNIES!!!
Jolee Ho is next to play Grand Game for $10,000. Target price is $7, and the products are a storage bag, Gold Bond lotion, Poli-Grip, Clorox, Hot Pockets and Stress Eez. Her first pick is the Hot Pockets, which are $2.49. Next is the Clorox, which is $1.99. Next is the lotion, but that's $8.95, so she finishes with $100.
Anthony Dowell then plays Flip Flop for a TV. Board:
6289
A Flip means $2,689 as the guess. A Flop means $6,298 is the guess. A Flip Flop means a guess of $2,698. He Flips after wanting to Flop.....but it's $2,698! Never would have guessed that. The reveal button falls apart at the end!
SSD1: Anthony spins 40....and goes over. Jolene spins the dollar for $1,000, and so does Michael! In the spinoff, the lady spins 80 cents. The man spins just 60, so the lady is in the Showcase.
Virginia (!) Reyesneff is fourth to play Pocket Change for a Dodge Dakota (Std., AT, Mats, Axle,
PProt). First number is 2, and the remaining numbers are 1, 4, 6, 7 and 9. For the second number, she says 4, but is wrong. She then says 1, and is right. For the third number, she says 7, but is wrong. Next guess is 9, but she is wrong again. Next is 4, but is wrong again, so it's the 6. Now for the fourth number. She first says 4, and is right. Then she says 7 for the last digit, but it's 9. The truck ARP is $21,649, and it sells today for $1.50. She starts with 25 cents. The first envelope has a dime. The second has another dime. The third has a quarter. With 70 cents so far, the only way to win now is to find the $2.....but it is not there, so she loses.
Clara Vasquez then plays Clock Game for a recliner and a portable spa, and $1,000. The recliner is $788. First guess is $499....$599.....$799....$699....$680.....and she struggles to win the recliner. I thought she might win because of what she did earlier, because the spa was $899, but she forgets the trick and doesn't win! Darn.
Finally, Suzanne Montoya plays Buy or Sell for a dining set marked at $2,840, a popcorn cart marked at $2,538, and a BBQ marked at $549. She sells the dining set, but it's $3,240, meaning she starts $400 in the hole. Next, she sells the popcorn cart, but it's $2,038, meaning she loses another $500! The BBQ must be at least $1,549 to win. It.....IS, so she wins $100 and all three prizes! And she's in the Showcase!
First Showcase features Rachel getting good and bad news. First, the good news is Rachel got a newspaper having lottery numbers, but the bad news is that Lanisha shredded it up and gave it to the dog in a new doghouse. Next, more bad news for Rachel- her dog went with Lanisha's friend to Cancun! Finally, the dog liked the place so much, that he went on top of a new Sea Doo ski boat! This is passed to Ho, who bids $24K. For Montoya, we have a living room, carpeting, flowers and a baby grand piano. She bids $25,000.
ARP for Ho: $29,916, a difference of $5,916. ARP for Montoya: $25......400, meaning she stopped the Dob on that Showcase and wins $34,797 in prizes!

RECAP: American Idol in San Antonio
This is the final stop in the audition tour. Bryan Kyrish won a mock "American Idol" contest. Let's see if he can win the real thing. He sings for his audition "Rebel Yell" by Billy Joel. He's too flat for this song, and he gets too loud at times. REJECTED.
Haley Scarnato sings "Make Me Love Me". I thought she did good. She's going to Hollywood!
Bailey Brown, 16, sings a Faith Hill song called "Stronger". I thought she was OK. She's going to Hollywood!
For whatever reason, the left door in the audition room after you perform is locked! I'm not sure if that's been the case since day one. Understandably, several people choose the wrong door when exiting! One contestant actually broke through that door after getting to Hollywood!
Akwon Watson was OK, but Simon thought he was boring. After the applicant sings a different song, he goes to Hollywood!
Ashlyn Carr screwed up her audition, but the judges give her a second chance because she felt too nervous at that time. When she performed the second time, I thought it was OK, but not acceptable. But the judges thought she was something different, so she went to Hollywood!
The last one I see, Jimmy McNeal, sings "Cupid", and I thought he was decent. He's going to Hollywood! In all, 22 made it through to Hollywood.
Wednesday, the best of the auditions we haven't seen yet will air. The next round begins next week.

2/6/2007 Results
TPIR: We start with Ryan Alman, who plays Swap Meet for a 34" HDTV, golf equipment, hostess set and a scooter. He must pick one of the last three prizes that has a price that matches the price of the TV. Alman's choice is the golf equipment, which is $2,308. The TV is.....$1,100 instead. Should have selected the hostess set.
Next is Christine Correa, who plays Hole in One for a Chevrolet Impala. The 2007 Impala has not been lost this season. Products today are Ziploc bags, Clorox wipes, salad beans, Poli Grip, potatoes and sleeping aid. She places the beans first, followed by the potatoes, the bags, the wipes, the Poli Grip and the sleeping aid. IMO, the best she can do is get to the next-best line. The beans are 99 cents. The potatoes are $1.89. The bags are $2.79. The wipes are $5.49. The Poli Grip is $3.49, so she putts from line 4. She shanks the first putt....and with the second putt too, so she loses.
Third is Lisa Smith, who plays Safe Crackers for a home office and some telephones. To crack the safe, she must know the price of the phones. The numbers are 0, 7 and 8, so they're either $780 or $870. She says $780.....but they're $870.
Christine Correa gets into the Showcase.
Trying again to get a winner, fourth is Diane Harris, who plays for a piano in Range Game. Range is $7,300-$7,900. She stops at $7,480-$7,630. ARP: $7,500 even and we have a winner!
Fifth is Dolores Sager, who plays Master Key for a Chevy Cobalt (Std., PProt) along with a sofa and cookware. She only gets the sandwich maker right at $35 to select Key #3....which opens the car lock!
Last is Melissa Martin, who plays Barker's Bargain Bar for an oil painting and a dinette.
The painting is marked at $1,000, and the dinette is marked at $1,977. Her choice for the bigger bargain is the paintine. Dinette's ARP: $3,477, a difference of $1,500. The painting must be at least $2,600 to win. ARP: $3,000, and after a winless first half, we have a perfect second half!
Dianne Harris gets into the Showcase, after Sager almost gets the dollar in two spins.
First Showcase has an Aico bedroom set, luggage and a trip to Singapore. This is passed to Corea, who bids $16,995. For Harris, we have some failed board games. First is Fictionary, a game that was so boring because people had to literally convey scenes from some new fiction books. Second is Handy Land, which featured uncomfortable kids trying to use some new power tools. Finally is Jackgammon, which features an extreme penalty card that forces the one who gets it to use a jack to rotate the tires on a new Chrysler 300 (Std., SRadio, Comf./Conv.)! She has a hard time deciding, and she bids $44,000, which means she's over. So, it's all about Corea now. ARP for her: $21,775, meaning she wins! Total: $22,535.
Family Feud: Game 1 has the Allphins defending again, this time against the Stranges. The challengers score 85 first on types of people that are usually present when you make a fool of yourself. The Allphins take the lead by one point on reasons why women don't marry the men they love.

For 19 years in a row, what state has had the most rapid population growth in America?
A: Utah
B: Nevada
C: Arizona
D: Oregon
They poll the audience, and 66% say B, while 25% say C. They use the 50:50, leaving B and D. They then say Nevada for $4,000. They get up to this $25,000 question:
Because it flows north, curves, and then flows south, what river, parts of which are called the Lualaba, crosses the Equator twice?
A: Nile
B: Amazon
C: Congo
D: Orinoco
They call Will, who is Steve's college roommate. He says he's absolutely sure it's the Congo. They say that and they absolutely have at least $25,000! For $50,000:
Since Gallop polling began in the 1930s, what U.S. President has logged the lowest-ever approval rating at 23%?
A: Nixon
B: Carter
C: Truman
D: Lyndon B. Johnson
Linder has a hunch it's Nixon, so they say that....NO. It was Truman. 0 for 2 on the upper tier so far.
Kip Lawson and Rose Borrett start with the $8,000 question Wednesday after polling the audience to get the $4,000 question right.
WOF: Tonight, our players are Tami McEwen (in the blue), Katie Haw and Carr Michael Harrison. McEwen solved the first two Toss-Ups. Round 1 category is Same Name. After the man calls the E's, we have...
T E _ _ _ S
&
_ _ T _ H E _
_ A T _ H E S
I don't know the second word. He hits Lose a Turn next. McEwen calls three N's for $1,500, and calls the K for $400, which is the first letter of the second word. Next are two C's for $600, and solves TENNIS & KITCHEN MATCHES for $2,500 more, giving her $5,500.
Jackpot Round category is Event. Early on, Harrison calls five R's while landing on the $3,500 space, giving him $17,500! After calling the A's and E's, we have...
_ _ R S E- _ R A _ _
_ A R R _ A _ E
R _ _ E
I think I know this now. He then calls two Is, but hits a Bankrupt next. Over to McEwen, who calls two D's, and solves HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDE for another $1,200, giving her $6,700.
$10,000 Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. After Haw calls the T's, we have...
_
_ _ _ _ N T
_ N
T _ _
S _ N
The only thing I don't know is the second word. She calls the I, and an H. Next are two E's, an A and one U. But she gets the Bankrupt. The man hits $3,500, but his call of an L is bad. McEwen scores again after calling two M's, solving A MOMENT IN THE SUN for $1,800 and a trip to Mexico! She's up to $13,520.
She then solves PIGEONS & DOVES to keep her perfect record intact with $16,520. Speed-Up time with Around the House, and consonants are worth $1,600 apiece. After the man calls the T's, we have...
_ P H _ _ S T _ R _ D
_ _ R _ _ T _ R _
...but he doesn't solve. McEwen calls one N, but she says nothing. Haw solves UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE to avoid the shutout with $8,000. The man has $1,000, and we know who our champion is.
There is a Winnebago and a Lexus IS offered this week in addition to all the cash. She spins the next-to-last zero. Category is Phrase. Starting with:
_ L _ _ _ N _
_
_ _ S S
I know this already. She calls P, C, G and A and gets...
_ L _ _ _ N G
A
_ _ S S
...but she says phrases that ends in LOSS instead. It's BLOWING A KISS as I had imagined. She let $30,000 slip away.
Jeopardy!: Eliza Urban (from Richmond!!!!), Jeffrey Gerlomes and Stephen Fritz are here on Day 2 of the Teen Tournament. Gerlomes hits the Daily Double in "V" ocabulary with $3,000 and the lead. He bets $500:
This synonym of "speed" comes from the latin for "speed".
"What is.....velocity?".....another $500 is his! At the end of the round, he still leads with $6,300. Urban has $3,000, and Fritz has $3,200.
Urban hits the first of the Daily Doubles in DJ! in 19th Century American Literature with $6,600 in tow. Gerlomes has $11,100, and Fritz has $7,600. My local girl bets a grand:
"The legend of" this place is set in"Greensburgh....which is more generally" known as Tarry Town.
"What is....Sleepy Hollow?"....YES! $7,600 now, and she's tied for second. On an $800 clue in National Names, Fritz desperately tries to ring in, and his reaction of still not being able to ring in was priceless! Fritz gets beaten by Urban on the next clue, but she missed it, so he got that right. The last clue of the round is the other Daily Double in Health Matters, and Fritz has $12,800. He bets a grand:
Very simply, Myalgia is pain in any one of these due to a stress injury.
"What is a muscle?"....right to finish the round with $13,800! But Gerlomes still leads with $15,500, and the Richmonder has 10 grand.
Final category: The U.S. Miltary.
This branch uses more fuel than the rest of the miltary combined. (I'm guessing it's the Navy or the Army.)
Urban says "What is the U.S. Air Force?"....RIGHT! But she risks nothing. Fritz has that and risks $607 for $14,407. Gerlomes has the Navy, and RISKED EVERYTHING!!!! What a bummer after playing well all game. That means he's not coming back at all. Fritz goes on to the semi-finals, and maybe we'll see th Richmonder in the semis too with her $10,000.

2/5/2007 Results
WOF: Today begins the first of their three weeks in South Carolina, Vanna White's home state! Players are Deb McGee (in the blue), Marc Fisher and Demetrius Simmons. New Toss-Up music debuted, which sounds awful. McGee got both Toss-Ups before starting the Round 1 puzzle in the category of Phrase, which is also tonight's Prize Puzzle! When Fisher calls the O's late, we have...

I think I know this, but I'm not sure. She calls the E's, then calls a $900 F, but it's in just the last word, so my guess is out the window. She calls a K, but calls a dud of an O. Fisher back in command, he calls the U, and the first word is now _ U M _ _. But he hits Bankrupt next. Simmons loses his turn. Fisher calls the L, and solves LUMPY BED AND BREAKFAST for $1,000 and $9,890. At the end of the round, some of the studio lights shining on the contestants and the host turn off for whatever reason! More weirdness on the stage...
The $10,000 this week in the Mystery Round is courtesy of FreeCreditReport.com. Category is Food and Drink. Fisher gets on a roll this round, and after calling the R's, we have...

...and she solves DOWNTOWN DISTRICT to finish with $12,500! Simmons has the $1,000 consolation, and Fisher is our champion with $22,290.
He spins the N in BONUS. Category is Thing, and again, with new music. Starting with:
_ _ _ _ E _ T
_ _ _ _ R
Fisher calls C, P, M and A and gets....
_ _ _ _ E A T
_ _ M _ R
He needed to have called the F's, because he doesn't solve OFFBEAT HUMOR for another $30,000.
Jeopardy!: It's the first day of the Teen Tournament! Tonight, we begin with Hank Robinson, Heidi Liu and Kristin Briggs. The theme song throughout is the Rock and Roll Jeopardy! theme.
Robinson finds the Daily Double in You'll Get an "A" with $3,600 to his credit, while Briggs leads with $4,800. He bets a grand:
You'll get an A in geography if you know that this country calls itself Republik Oesterreich.
"What is Austria"....he has $4,600! Liu rallies late to make this a tight match at the end of the round. Liu has four grand, Robinson has $4,200 and Briggs still leads with $6,200.
Early on in Double Jeopardy!, Robinson gets on a mini-streak to take the lead with $7,000.
Liu finds the first Daily Double in Adjectives with $4,800. Briggs has $8,200, and Robinson still leads with $11,000. She bets $3,000:
This adjective can mean "relating to fingers" or "relating to numbers".
"What is digital?"....$3,000 more! Robinson builds on his lead, however, and finds the other Daily Double in Landmarks with $14,200 so far. He bets two large:
The Central Park statue by Georg Lober donated by this European country features an ugly duckling.
"What is Denmark?"....show him the money! The last clue of the round featured the word "Jeopardy!". When the round ends, Robinson is all but assured to go to the next round with $24,600, but we don't know if it will be as a first round winner of not. Liu has $13,800, and Briggs has $9,400. Remember, the four highest-scoring players among non-winners will join the five first-round winners in the semi-finals for a chance to shoot for (over) $75,000.
FJ! category is Languages.
In South America, these are the two most widely spoken languages.
Briggs has "What are Spanish and Portugese" after being tempted to cross off Spanish...good thing she didn't, because she's right! She adds $4,401 for $13,801. Liu has the right two languages, but only bets $1,150 for $14,950. Robinson completes the sweep and is the first automatic semi-finalist. The other two could still move on to the next round.
DOND: Vicki Montezeno is back with us. She's in a landmine situation, and my advice to her: knock out some low cases, and when the deal hits six figures, take the deal, because there is NO WAY #7 has $750,000, after it had $1,000,000 last time. She makes it past Round 4 with the $750,000 still intact, and she has an offer of $48,000. At this point, Magic Johnson makes an appearance! But she takes the deal, which stunned me. Turns out she wasn't so stupid after all- her first of two what-might-have-been choices, #20, would have knocked out the $750,000!
Her case had $50.
Giuseppe Aionelo is next to go, for this game only, $2,000,000! The entire board, in fact, is doubled! His case choice is #8.
Round 1: First choice is #17.....$10,000. Second is #20....$1,500,000. Third is #19....$100.
Fourth is #21....$150. Fifth is #12....$600. Last pick is #13....$20,000. First offer he says NO DEAL to: $40,000.
Round 2: Before the start of this round, we learn that Aionelo watched this show, the Italian version, called "Attari Toi"! And making an appearance via satelite- Flavio Insinna, the version's host! Now, back to the game. The player's first choice is #4.....$1,500. Second is #5, next door.......$1,000,000. Third is #15....$150,000. Fourth is #26....$50,000. Last choice is #7....$1,000. Second offer he says NO DEAL to: $73,000.
Round 3: #25 is first......$10! Second is #22....$2! Third is #18.....$2,000,000- OUT OF HERE.
Last pick is #6.....$400. New offer he says NO DEAL to: $59,000.
Round 4: The Italian man's first choice is #23....$50! Second is #16....$200,000. Last pick is #3....$400. Next offer he passes up, after he does the "We'll be right back" line: $112,000!
NO DEAL.
Round 5: He knocked out $2,000 and $400,000 this round. Offer is now $129,000. NO DEAL.
Left at this point heading into one-at-a-time: two pennies, $20, $200, $100,000, $600,000 and $800,000.
His next choice is #9.....
...$800,000's out. New offer drops to $69,000. NO DEAL.
Next is #14....
....$20! Offer is now: $127,000! Take the deal, if you can, man. And he does! If he had gone one more time, though, he would have taken out $200 and likely have taken an offer of $231,000.
His case had $100,000.
TPIR: The episode that aired this day was originally scheduled to air in October. Vicky is first, playing Easy as 1-2-3 for a grill, a sofa and some flatware. She puts #1 on the flatware, #2 on the sofa and #3 on the grill. The flatware is $899, and the sofa is $1,605. The grill is.......just $1,200.
Darn.
Jacquilene Hawkins then plays It's In the Bag for up to $16,000. Products: Aspercreme, jam, drain care, crescent rolls, cookies and frozen broccoli. She thinks the 55 cent item is the cookies. For the $1.69 product, she says it's the rolls. For the $3.35 item, she picks the jam. For the $2.39 item, she says the broccoli, and for the $16,000 item that costs $8.99, she picks the drain care. The cookies are right for $1,000! She goes on to the rolls.....but the $1.69 item is actually the broccoli, so she loses. The rolls are actually $2.39, and the $8.99 item was the Aspercreme.
Third is Daniel Scooter, who plays Money Game for a Ford Focus ZX3 (Std., Traction, Prot). Numbers are 80, 17, 95, 50, 16, 07, 35, 18 and 75. Middle number is 3 ($ _ _, 3 _ _).
First pick is 17......money. Next is 18.....more money. He then finds the front of the car in 16
($ 1 6,3 _ _). He then picks EL CHEAPO, 07, and wins!! He wins the $16,307 car and $35 in gas money!
But it's Hawkins who gets into the Showcase, picking up $1,000 from the Big Wheel along the way.
Fourth is Jacquilene Delano, who plays Shell Game for a tour of New England. Once again, the player only got one small prize right, but we should all know what happened the last time this situation occurred. Did history repeat itself today? NO.
Fifth is Andrew Wright, who plays Cover Up for a Chevy Cobalt (Std., ALB, Mats, Heater, Net, PProt). Board:
First Number: 1 or 3?
Second Number: 0, 3 or 4?
Third Number: 1, 6, 7 or 8?
Fourth Number: 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5?
Last Number: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 9?
First guess is $14,754.....the 1, first 4 and the 5 are right. Second guess is $14,659......only the middle number is wrong now. His final guess is $14,859, but it's $14,159 and he loses.
Autumn Romer was last to play for two motorcycles, which are either $6,348 or $7,935. If she knew my rule about the last number of a pair of prizes, she might have said $6,348, but she says $7,935 and loses.
The other Jacquilene, Jacquilene Delano, makes it to the Showcase! All Jacquilene finals!
First Showcase has sunscreen, a trip to Fiji, and a ski boat. This is passed to Delano, who bids $23,000. For Hawkins, we have a range, an LCD HDTV, and a Dodge Charger (Std., Heater).
She bids $21,000.
ARP for Hawkins: $26,433, a difference of $5,433. ARP for Delano: $36,272, meaning she leaves with not too much, while Hawkins wins a total of $29,507 in cash and prizes.
WWTBAM: Time for my personal favorite theme week of this show's season- Pay for your Wedding Week! Couples will play. First one is Brian Udelhofen and Erin Hanrahan. Host Meredith Viera does a Freudian Slip by saying "when you reach the $250,000, you'll get the fourth lifeline, Switch the Question" and no one catches it! For $16,000:
In January 2005, Mahmoud Abbas was elected as successor to what Middle East leader?
A: Yasser Arafat
B: Harmid Karzai
C: Ayad Allawi
D: Nawaz Sharif
They ask the audience, and 81% say Arafat. They agree and are right! For $25,000:
Turtle Island, the honeymoon destination of both Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson, is part of what island nation?
A: Mauritius
B: Fiji
C: The Bahamas
D: Cayman Islands
They call Tom, a graduate student, who sounds sure it's Fiji. They agree and reach $25,000!
For $50,000, after switching....
Which of these is not the title of a book in the popular "For Dummies" reference series?
A: Breastfeeding for Dummies
B: Origami for Dummies
C: Ferrets for Dummies
D: Robot Building for Dummies
The man wants to say B, but she wants C. They debate over whether to use the 50:50, but they choose not to use it and say C.....but it's the other choice! But they are still happy with $25,000 for their future endeavors.
Steve Rayo and Molly Linder return tomorrow to start with the $2,000 question.

Jackpot Round category is Before and After. Late in the round, McGee finds two D's for $7,000, and now we have...
_ _ M _ _
B _ D
A N D
B R _ A _ _ A S T
I think I know this, but I'm not sure. She calls the E's, then calls a $900 F, but it's in just the last word, so my guess is out the window. She calls a K, but calls a dud of an O. Fisher back in command, he calls the U, and the first word is now _ U M _ _. But he hits Bankrupt next. Simmons loses his turn. Fisher calls the L, and solves LUMPY BED AND BREAKFAST for $1,000 and $9,890. At the end of the round, some of the studio lights shining on the contestants and the host turn off for whatever reason! More weirdness on the stage...
The $10,000 this week in the Mystery Round is courtesy of FreeCreditReport.com. Category is Food and Drink. Fisher gets on a roll this round, and after calling the R's, we have...

...and he solves SAUTEED SHRIMP SERVED OVER CHEESE GRITS, which must be a signature Southern dish, for $11,400 and a $1,000 cooking gift certificate! He's now up to $22,290!
McGee sweeps the Toss-Ups with LINEN NAPKINS. Speed-Up Round for $1,300 a pop in the consonant department with the category of Place. And I hear new music for this part of the game, as well. After McGee calls the T's, we have...
D _ _ N T _ _ N
D _ S T R _ _ T
...and she solves DOWNTOWN DISTRICT to finish with $12,500! Simmons has the $1,000 consolation, and Fisher is our champion with $22,290.
He spins the N in BONUS. Category is Thing, and again, with new music. Starting with:
_ _ _ _ E _ T
_ _ _ _ R
Fisher calls C, P, M and A and gets....
_ _ _ _ E A T
_ _ M _ R
He needed to have called the F's, because he doesn't solve OFFBEAT HUMOR for another $30,000.
Jeopardy!: It's the first day of the Teen Tournament! Tonight, we begin with Hank Robinson, Heidi Liu and Kristin Briggs. The theme song throughout is the Rock and Roll Jeopardy! theme.

Early on in Double Jeopardy!, Robinson gets on a mini-streak to take the lead with $7,000.
Liu finds the first Daily Double in Adjectives with $4,800. Briggs has $8,200, and Robinson still leads with $11,000. She bets $3,000:
This adjective can mean "relating to fingers" or "relating to numbers".
"What is digital?"....$3,000 more! Robinson builds on his lead, however, and finds the other Daily Double in Landmarks with $14,200 so far. He bets two large:
The Central Park statue by Georg Lober donated by this European country features an ugly duckling.
"What is Denmark?"....show him the money! The last clue of the round featured the word "Jeopardy!". When the round ends, Robinson is all but assured to go to the next round with $24,600, but we don't know if it will be as a first round winner of not. Liu has $13,800, and Briggs has $9,400. Remember, the four highest-scoring players among non-winners will join the five first-round winners in the semi-finals for a chance to shoot for (over) $75,000.
FJ! category is Languages.

Briggs has "What are Spanish and Portugese" after being tempted to cross off Spanish...good thing she didn't, because she's right! She adds $4,401 for $13,801. Liu has the right two languages, but only bets $1,150 for $14,950. Robinson completes the sweep and is the first automatic semi-finalist. The other two could still move on to the next round.
DOND: Vicki Montezeno is back with us. She's in a landmine situation, and my advice to her: knock out some low cases, and when the deal hits six figures, take the deal, because there is NO WAY #7 has $750,000, after it had $1,000,000 last time.

Fourth is #21....$150. Fifth is #12....$600. Last pick is #13....$20,000. First offer he says NO DEAL to: $40,000.
Round 2: Before the start of this round, we learn that Aionelo watched this show, the Italian version, called "Attari Toi"! And making an appearance via satelite- Flavio Insinna, the version's host! Now, back to the game. The player's first choice is #4.....$1,500. Second is #5, next door.......$1,000,000. Third is #15....$150,000. Fourth is #26....$50,000. Last choice is #7....$1,000. Second offer he says NO DEAL to: $73,000.
Round 3: #25 is first......$10! Second is #22....$2! Third is #18.....$2,000,000- OUT OF HERE.
Last pick is #6.....$400. New offer he says NO DEAL to: $59,000.

NO DEAL.
Round 5: He knocked out $2,000 and $400,000 this round. Offer is now $129,000. NO DEAL.
Left at this point heading into one-at-a-time: two pennies, $20, $200, $100,000, $600,000 and $800,000.
His next choice is #9.....
...$800,000's out. New offer drops to $69,000. NO DEAL.
Next is #14....
....$20! Offer is now: $127,000! Take the deal, if you can, man. And he does! If he had gone one more time, though, he would have taken out $200 and likely have taken an offer of $231,000.
His case had $100,000.
TPIR: The episode that aired this day was originally scheduled to air in October. Vicky is first, playing Easy as 1-2-3 for a grill, a sofa and some flatware. She puts #1 on the flatware, #2 on the sofa and #3 on the grill. The flatware is $899, and the sofa is $1,605. The grill is.......just $1,200.

Jacquilene Hawkins then plays It's In the Bag for up to $16,000. Products: Aspercreme, jam, drain care, crescent rolls, cookies and frozen broccoli. She thinks the 55 cent item is the cookies. For the $1.69 product, she says it's the rolls. For the $3.35 item, she picks the jam. For the $2.39 item, she says the broccoli, and for the $16,000 item that costs $8.99, she picks the drain care. The cookies are right for $1,000! She goes on to the rolls.....but the $1.69 item is actually the broccoli, so she loses. The rolls are actually $2.39, and the $8.99 item was the Aspercreme.
Third is Daniel Scooter, who plays Money Game for a Ford Focus ZX3 (Std., Traction, Prot). Numbers are 80, 17, 95, 50, 16, 07, 35, 18 and 75. Middle number is 3 ($ _ _, 3 _ _).
First pick is 17......money. Next is 18.....more money. He then finds the front of the car in 16
($ 1 6,3 _ _). He then picks EL CHEAPO, 07, and wins!! He wins the $16,307 car and $35 in gas money!
But it's Hawkins who gets into the Showcase, picking up $1,000 from the Big Wheel along the way.
Fourth is Jacquilene Delano, who plays Shell Game for a tour of New England. Once again, the player only got one small prize right, but we should all know what happened the last time this situation occurred. Did history repeat itself today? NO.
Fifth is Andrew Wright, who plays Cover Up for a Chevy Cobalt (Std., ALB, Mats, Heater, Net, PProt). Board:
First Number: 1 or 3?
Second Number: 0, 3 or 4?
Third Number: 1, 6, 7 or 8?
Fourth Number: 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5?
Last Number: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 9?
First guess is $14,754.....the 1, first 4 and the 5 are right. Second guess is $14,659......only the middle number is wrong now. His final guess is $14,859, but it's $14,159 and he loses.
Autumn Romer was last to play for two motorcycles, which are either $6,348 or $7,935. If she knew my rule about the last number of a pair of prizes, she might have said $6,348, but she says $7,935 and loses.
The other Jacquilene, Jacquilene Delano, makes it to the Showcase! All Jacquilene finals!
First Showcase has sunscreen, a trip to Fiji, and a ski boat. This is passed to Delano, who bids $23,000. For Hawkins, we have a range, an LCD HDTV, and a Dodge Charger (Std., Heater).
She bids $21,000.

JANUARY 2007 PLAYER OF THE MONTH:
Barry Lander ("1 vs. 100")
On his second game show appearance, Mr. Lander put his blowout on WWTBAM in 2005 in the far past by becoming the Bob Saget-hosted game show's biggest winner so far with $343,000!
He also holds the record for most money earned on one question, which was the question that caused him to break the record! BTW, Steve Beverly, my big game show prefessor rival, interviewed Lander as part of a Cover Story and a Part 2. Check it out on TVGameshows.net.

RECAP: "1 vs. 100": Kids in the Mob!
Mitch Mitske is our first player tonight. One of the mob members is Madeline Suchard, a former winner on one of the kids editions on "Jeopardy!".
On the first question, he knocked out only one. On the second, he knocked out 46, a new record for most people eliminated in one question! On that question, the J! champ and the child mogul were amongst the eliminated people. On the third question, he knocked out 25 kids for $25,000, and is up to $72,000 already after three questions! He's only 28 away from $1,000,000.
He gets the first $2,000 question right to knock out 2, and is now up to $76,000. BTW, it looks like on the "ones who got it wrong" reveal, they're lighting up all of who got it wrong right away, instead of one at a time before. He then gets a question right about money to knock out 3 more for $6,000, and now has $82,000. 23 away from the million.
He then gets the $3,000 question right, but only one missed it. His total is now $85,000.
$4,000 question:
Which Rugrats on Rugrats share a playpen and the same name of birth?
A: Phil and Lil Deville
B: Tommy and Tina Pickles
C: Randy and Andy Finster
He decides to trust the kids, who say A, and it's right! He knocks out only one, and now has $89,000.
He then gets the $5,000 question right, but for the third straight time, only one misses it. New total: $94,000.
$6,000 question:
What do the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts have in common?
A: Founder
B: Motto
C: Badge System
He says the badge system, my guess. Actual answer.....
....their motto, so FIVE kids will split $94,000!
Next is Wendy Powell, from Las Vegas. In the mob this game- D.L. Hughley.
She got the first question right, and D.L. Hughley goes out right away! In all, 22 missed it for $22,000. On the second question she got right, she only knocked out one. She then gets the last opening question right for $15,000 and now has $38,000.
She quickly got the first $2,000 question right to knock out nine for $18,000, giving her $56,000. She had to poll the mob to get the other $2,000 question right and earn $16,000, giving her $72,000. Even with two helps left, she decides to stop with the $72,000.

2/2/2007 Results- Feud and J! in danger of WIPEOUTS
TPIR: Today, we begin with Cheryl Beck, who plays Clock Game for $1,000 plus a clock and a computer desk. The clock's price is $613. She says $500.....$600.....$700.....$650.....$640....and so on to $613 to win. The desk is $899. She says $1,000......$900......$800......$850......$860.....and so on to win all three prizes!
Next is Donald Geist. He plays for a Pontiac Vibe in Let Em' Roll. He only gets the first grocery item right, having two rolls. He gets three cars and $3,000, after tossing the first die by itself!
He goes for it and gets.... two cars for the car!
Brent Ronn is third to play Half Off for $10,000 and other stuff. First pair of items are a telephone marked at $99 and a travel mug marked at $15. He picks the mug, which of course is $30! Second pair of items are an MP3 holder marked at $35 and a golf scop marked at $20. This is a toughie. He picks the golf thing.....$40! Last pair of items are an answering machine marked at $15 and a slow cooker marked at $6. This is very easy, and he picks the slow cooker as $12 to win all the small prizes and get a 50/50 shot at $10,000! Boxes left: #4 and #5. He picks #4......
....IT'S THE MONEY!
SSD1: Beck spins 15 cents....and a nickel for 20 cents. Ronn spins 20 cents and is NOT asked for a spinoff, but he spins again anyway and goes over. I hope that wasn't a huge mistake by Bob.
Geist gets into the Showcase!
Denise Rosei then plays for a piano. The price is $6, _ 9 7, and the choices are 3, 6 and 8. She picks 3 for a guess of $6,397....she should have gone with the audience with 8! Darn.
Sharon Holmes then plays Card Game for a Jeep Wrangler (Std., AC, Cap). She draws a $3,000 range card! Starting with $12,000. She draws a six.....a nine.....a three....then a face card but stops there, and she loses. ARP was $19,675.
Vernon Fleming, Jr. is last to play Switch? for a trip to Sedona marked at $3,835 and a trip to Savanah marked at $2,996. He switches....and wins! But Denise Rosei gets into the Showcase.
First Showcase consists of pizza, an LCD TV and a TrailManor trailer. This is passed to the lady, who bids a pathetic $12,000. The man has a living room, maid service and a jukebox. He bids $14,295, and I think he's won.
ARP for the lady: $27,653, a difference of $15,653. ARP for the man: $15,780, meaning he does win! Total: $35,213.
WWTBAM: Back with us is Chris Killion. He gets all the way up to this for $25,000:
The official currency of Panama is named after what famed explorer?
A: Marco Polo
B: Jacques Cartier
C: Ferdinand Magellan
D: Vasco Nunez de Balboa
Killion decides to call the audience, and 59% say D, while 28% say C. He's taking a risk saying D, because the audience tends to be wrong a lot on $25,000 questions.....but not this one!
For $50,000, after passing:
Which of these foreign language editions of Scrabble omits the letters J, K, W, X and Y from its tiles?
A: German
B: Spanish
C: Italian
D: French
He calls Hamon, a doctor, who says nothing. He uses the 50:50, leaving B and C. Considering he ruled out B, he may be good now. He says Italian and indeed has $50,000! For $100,000:
Known for his 1953 Mount Everest summit ascent, Sir Edmund Hilary is from what country?
A: Great Britain
B: Austrailia
C: New Zealand
D: Canada
He thinks Britain, but he's not too sure, so he stops with 50 grand. Answer was actually New Zealand.
Laurie Foti returns next time after getting to $16,000 with no lifelines used.
Family Feud: Well, we have a WIPEOUT situation in Game 2, but let's get to Game 1 first. The Tuckers are on their fourth day defending against the Allphins. The Allphins score the first 79 points on places where cheating husbands may have an encounter. They go to 140 on things you never skip.
Double: Something that starts with "Hit the....". Starting with:
#1-
#2- Ball (12, Sandra)
#3-
#4-
#5-
#6-
The champs play. Michelle says buzzer.....we'll buzz her. Jamila says brakes.....a buzz for that, too. Malcolm says road......NUMBER ONE (37)! Michelle says highway.....three strikes. Brenna of the challengers says ground running....NO, so the Tuckers score 98! Others: floor, wall, jackpot, nail on the head.
Triple: Tell me something people stretch. Starting with:
#1- Muscles/arms (29, Michelle)
#2-
#3-
#4-
The champs play once more. Jamila says clothes.....no. Malcolm says the truth.....#3 (17)! Michelle says money.... BOTTOM (14)! Sandra says mind.....NO. Michelle says prayer......NO. So for the steal and the game, Brenna says a rubber band...WIN at 326!
Fast Money: Brookie and Brenna play.
1. What would you hate to see break down just before you host a big party?
2. The age men usually start losing hair.
3. An ugly bird.
4. Something people tie down on the front of their cars.
5. What comes to mind first when you hear "doh"?
She says air conditioning, 35, crow (#1), luggage (#1) and female deer for just 68. Brookie says oven, 50, crane (bad), skis and re for 107 total and $535.
Now, for the WIPEOUT situation. In the Game 2s this week, there has NOT been a Fast Money win. One more Fast Money loss will result in a Game 2 WIPEOUT. Hoping to not make that happen are the Fryes and the Morrises. The Fryes score the first 81 points on things that they need to take when offered. They go to 147 on reasons why people get kicked out of a casino.
Double: Places people go that start with "M". Starting with:
#1- Movies (26, Linda)
#2- Mall (13, Megan)
#3-
#4-
#5-
The challengers play. Amy says makeout spots....NO. Shawn says mountains.....NO. David says mom's house......strikeout. Steve of the Fryes says the market.....NO, so the Morrises are on the board! Others: Miami, Mexico and museums.
Triple: Something that women always have to tell people to do. After Brittany of the champs whiffs, Amy responds with the #1 answer take out the trash (36) to earn control. Shawn says put their shoes away....#3 (21)! David says put gas in the car.....not there. Joe gets srike two.
Linda says bring money from the bank.....strikeout. Shawn of the champs say pay bills.....NO, so we go to a playoff, as the Morrises only have 249. Others: put the toilet seat down, need to shave.
Sudden Death: Shawn and Jodi represent the teams. Question- A creature that may be too afraid to come out of a shell. #1 answer is turtle....
...and Shawn's the one who says it, so the Morris family are the new champs at 498!
Fast Money: Amy and Joe try to prevent a WIPEOUT.
1. On a scale of 1-10, how well do you get along with people?
2. An occasion when people go off their diets.
3. Something in outer space.
4. Something you carry in your hands when you go on an airplane.
5. Something people adopt.
Amy says 8 (#1), Christmas, aliens, luggage (#1) and baby (#1) for 131! Joe says 7, Thanksgiving (#1), planets, briefcase and pets for....
....$20,000! No WIPEOUT here!

Jeopardy!: For the fourth time in six weeks now, there is not a repeat champion on the week heading into the Friday show. Another loss by a champ results in a WIPEOUT for the first time in about a year. Wayne Cherry defends against Erica Eaton and Tana Sabilio. Eaton finds the Daily Double early and misses it, dropping to the red. The champ has the early lead with $4,400 heading into the first break. After the break, Cherry gets on a bit of a roll, and ends the round still leading with $7,000. Sabilio has $4,600 and Sabilio is in the hole.
Drew Barrymore did all five clues for Music and Lyrics. Eaton gets on a roll in a news category and ties Cherry for the lead at $8,600. Sabilio gets on a roll on "A Good Book" clues, and on the last clue of that catefory finds the first Daily Double with $7,000 to her credit. The champ has $9,800 and Eaton has $8,600. Sabilio bets $5,000:
Dean says, "Think of it, Sal, I've never been to Chicago in all my life, never stopped" in this 1957 classic.
"What is.....The Catcher and the Rye?".....NO. What is "On the Road"? She's all but out of this now with $2,000. A few clues later, the champ finds the other Daily Double in Science, and he has $10,200, $400 off the current leader, Eaton, with $10,600. He bets $2,000:
It's a term for a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A motor can be charged by plugging it in and making the mini light bulb go on.
"What is an electromagnet".....sorry. What is a conductor? He's down to $8,200. But he recovers nicely in that category, getting most of the rest to jump into the lead with $13,000. Eaton still has $10,600, and Sabilio has $4,400.
FJ! category: Famous Americans.
In part using donated French tanks, he formed the U.S. Army's first tank training school in 1917.
Sabilio says "Who is George Patton"....right! She doubles to $8,800. Eaton has that and adds $10,001 to go to $20,601. The champ has......
....the right response......
...and bets enough to win again!! Two-day total: $41,801! The Teen Tournament is next week!
Next is Donald Geist. He plays for a Pontiac Vibe in Let Em' Roll. He only gets the first grocery item right, having two rolls. He gets three cars and $3,000, after tossing the first die by itself!
He goes for it and gets.... two cars for the car!

This is very easy, and he picks the slow cooker as $12 to win all the small prizes and get a 50/50 shot at $10,000! Boxes left: #4 and #5. He picks #4......
....IT'S THE MONEY!
SSD1: Beck spins 15 cents....and a nickel for 20 cents. Ronn spins 20 cents and is NOT asked for a spinoff, but he spins again anyway and goes over. I hope that wasn't a huge mistake by Bob.
Geist gets into the Showcase!
Denise Rosei then plays for a piano. The price is $6, _ 9 7, and the choices are 3, 6 and 8. She picks 3 for a guess of $6,397....she should have gone with the audience with 8! Darn.

I know this now, and part of this puzzle is something my family watches a lot. They call the F to pick up a gift certificate from Buy.com. Next, they call the V for $400, and call the I's. They call two D's for $600, and solve BAD HAIR DAYS OF OUR LIVES for $12,550 in cash and prizes and $14,550 total!
Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Place. The ladies at the beginning of the line call three R's for $10,500! At that point, we have...

This puzzle was not what I had in mind. They call two I's, then goof by repeating the G. Over to the guys, who hit Lose a Turn. The leading girls call the C, then the O. After calling the P, they say CREATING A SONG PLAYLIST for $2,000 more and $22,500.

Can Rna and Haleh end this week on a very high note? Let's find out. They spin the 1. Category is Event. Starting with:
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ T
They call P, M, C and A and get....
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ T
...nothing. They don't solve FOOD FIGHT, but they had nothing to lose- prize was $30,000. The show heads to South Carolina for three weeks starting next week.
Jeopardy!: For the fourth time in six weeks now, there is not a repeat champion on the week heading into the Friday show. Another loss by a champ results in a WIPEOUT for the first time in about a year. Wayne Cherry defends against Erica Eaton and Tana Sabilio. Eaton finds the Daily Double early and misses it, dropping to the red. The champ has the early lead with $4,400 heading into the first break. After the break, Cherry gets on a bit of a roll, and ends the round still leading with $7,000. Sabilio has $4,600 and Sabilio is in the hole.
Drew Barrymore did all five clues for Music and Lyrics. Eaton gets on a roll in a news category and ties Cherry for the lead at $8,600. Sabilio gets on a roll on "A Good Book" clues, and on the last clue of that catefory finds the first Daily Double with $7,000 to her credit. The champ has $9,800 and Eaton has $8,600. Sabilio bets $5,000:
Dean says, "Think of it, Sal, I've never been to Chicago in all my life, never stopped" in this 1957 classic.
"What is.....The Catcher and the Rye?".....NO. What is "On the Road"? She's all but out of this now with $2,000. A few clues later, the champ finds the other Daily Double in Science, and he has $10,200, $400 off the current leader, Eaton, with $10,600. He bets $2,000:
It's a term for a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A motor can be charged by plugging it in and making the mini light bulb go on.
"What is an electromagnet".....sorry. What is a conductor? He's down to $8,200. But he recovers nicely in that category, getting most of the rest to jump into the lead with $13,000. Eaton still has $10,600, and Sabilio has $4,400.
FJ! category: Famous Americans.
In part using donated French tanks, he formed the U.S. Army's first tank training school in 1917.
Sabilio says "Who is George Patton"....right! She doubles to $8,800. Eaton has that and adds $10,001 to go to $20,601. The champ has......
....the right response......
...and bets enough to win again!! Two-day total: $41,801! The Teen Tournament is next week!

RECAP: Nashville Star 2/1
Kicking off the show tonight is The Wreckers with "My Oh My"!
Remember, the six remaining singers have to perform songs selected by the judges.
First singer is....Zac Hacker! He was mellow for most of the song, so I gave him a 6. Randy says he picked the song, but he said to the contestant that he needs to resent these things that will make him a success. Queen Anastasia says she felt he didn't enjoy singing the song, and he still needs to work on his attitude. Blake says it's all about the attitude.
Second is....Joshua Stevens! He's singing "I Don't Know Why". I thought this was his best job so far- I gave it a 9! Blake says he chose that song because he thought that he might pass out, but said he did great. Queen Anastasia says he corrected his pitch problems 100%, but isn't sure she would go all the way. Randy notices that he sang the song slowly and notices how hard the song is to sing, but says the audience should commend him for his efforts.
Third is....David St. Romain! He sings "Let's Do the Music". He did a good job, but his enthusiasm was lacking a bit. I gave him an 8. Randy thought that tonight he became an entertainer. Blake says he wanted him to mess up once in a while. Queen Anastasia says he is raising his game every week.
If Meg Allison's name is called fourth, Whitney Duncan likely is a goner. Fourth, after Jewel's performance, is.....
....WHITNEY DUNCAN! That mean Meg Allison is likely a goner now. As for Duncan, she did so much better this week. I gave her a 9! Queen Anastasia wished she had gotten more emotion from her, and wished she had played her guitar more. Randy said she looked like a star, and thought she was the most improved. Blake said Duncan succeeded in turning a guy song into a girl song.
And it is confirmed that Meg Allison is out of here. Angela Hacker sang "Country". She sounded darn good to me- I gave her another 10, and I think she is still the one to beat in this competition. Blake said that while she wasn't a fan of the song choice, she made it exciting. Queen Anastasia said she nailed the song, and her attitude got the attitude back in high gear.
Randy says she doesn't realize how good she is, and he says she can sing anything!
My scores now:
Angela Hacker- 39
David St. Romain- 31
Joshua Stevens- 28
Zac Hacker- 27
Whitney Duncan- 24
The next elimination is a tossup between Zac Hacker and Whitney Duncan, IMO. See you next time!

MVP and Big Winners Annoucement for Jan. 22-27
MVP: Tim Rodman ("Wheel of Fortune")
On the week he was on, we were supposed to see an NFL Players Week. But thanks to a lot of great contestants, they weren't really necessary. One of those was this tiny contestant who couldn't spin the big wheel on his own, so he had to bring his fiancee Morgan with him. But as one phrase might say, "Big things come in small packages". He played a very impressive game, espescially in the first main round, and wound up with $59,550 in stuff for his efforts!
Other big winners and notables:
Janice Carlton- $121,000 ("1 vs. 100")
Jackie Monroe- $83,000 ("Deal or No Deal")
Kathryn Christensen- $74,724 ("The Price is Right")
Dan Dayne- $62,150 ("WOF")
Mark Caputo- $61,300 ("WOF")
Gary Higgins, Shanika Verette and Karen Danca-Smith- $50,000 ("WWTBAM")
The Sims- Undefeated champions with $23,150 ("Family Feud")
Su Kim- $45,901 as three-day champ ("Jeopardy!")
Adam Humphy- $39,731 ("TPIR")

RECAP: "Beauty and the Geek III" 1/31
This episode is sponsored by the SPCA, because for one week only, the remaining teams will be given a dog to use for the next challenges!
For the male challenge, they will take their dogs to a park, and must get as many phone numbers as they can using their dog as a conversation piece. The ladies' challenge is to build their own doggy domocile.
The winner of the male challenge, with 7 accumulated phone numbers is......
...Nate! He and Cecille automatically advance to the semi-finals! Once the other challenge is completed, if a different team wins that, the other two teams will be sent to the Elimination Round.
The ladies have one hour to build their doghouses. The houses will be judged on stability, precision and design.
Doug Jefferies was the judge. He said Cecille's house design was "a little out there". For Nadia, he says "you got it together, except for your roof". For JennyLee, she was said to be the only one to get the spacing of the house correct, and the judge says the house is real strong.
But none of the above won. The winner was Megan. So we have our two teams for the next Elimination Round- Neils and JennyLee and Mario and Nadia.
The guys will be tested on dating and the art of pickup, while the girls will have to know a lot about tools and building.
JennyLee chooses question #1:
She had to pick out the one tool out of the three on the TV monitor that looked like a circle saw.....
...and she did! Nadia chooses #4:
Claw, Ballpin and Sledge are all types of what tool? She says hammer to tie! JennyLee chooses question #3:
In the fairly tale "The Three Little Pigs", the wolf was unable to blow down one of the pig's houses. What was the house made of? She says brick for a 2-1 lead! Other question for Nadia:
What does the acronym "GC" stand for as it relates to the professionals who manage home construction?
"General Contractor?".....I thought ground crew, but General Contractor is RIGHT! It comes down to the men.
Niels picks question #1:
What military-like term refers to a male friend who goes out with you to talk to you and pick up women?
"That would be a wingman, Mike." And that is right! Mario picks question #3:
You're on a date at a nice restaurant, and decide to order some wine. What is the formal French term for a restaurant's steward?
"Mike, the correct answer is sommelier." You bet it is. Neils picks #2:
If you were about to kiss a girl at the end of a date, you'd better make sure you don't have this- the medical condition of having stale or fowl-smelling breath.
"Halitosis?"....YES! Will we have a 4-4 tie and the first tiebreaker of the season? That'll only happen if Mario answers this:
What is the term that refers to your date duplicating your body language, or adopting your speaking rhythm?
"Uh.....is the correct answer mimicking, Mike?".....
.....UH-UH. It's mirroring. So Mario and Nadia are out.

2/1/2007 Results
TPIR: First today is Philip Pickens, who plays Golden Road to kick off February Sweeps! Prizes are a hall chest, a sofa and worth more than $82,000, a 2007 Cadillac XLR Limited (Std., AT, Nav., PProt)!!! The chest is $_ 5 0, and the choices are 2 and 6. He says 6, and of course he's right! For the sofa, we have $2, _ 9 5, and the choices of 0, 5 and 6. He says 5.....NO WAY. I thought it was 0, but it was 6 again. In any event, he only wins the sofa.
Next is Sonya Coleria, who plays the Punchboard. She swept the small prizes, giving her four punches. She punches out holes #21, #25, #10 and #50. First hole is worth $500, and she goes on. Second hole is worth $1,000, but she goes on again. Third hole is worth $50. Final hole, which she must take, is worth....$250.
Next is Daniel Burloch, going for dinnerware, a fireplace, and a safe in Most Expensive. He thinks the expensive prize is the safe. The dinnerware is $1,488. The fireplace is $3,200, and that's bad news. The safe is only $2,097. But he does get the dollar at the big wheel for $1,000, and gets into the Showcase.
Fourth is Billy Seoul, who plays for a camping trailer. It's either $10,259 or $11,880. He picks $11,880....and wins!
Fifth is Kevin Alfero, who plays for a trip to British Columbia in Grocery Game. Items: Poli-Grip, lotion, Clorox, storage bag and sleeping pills. First pick is 4 Clorox bottles. Each one is $1.99, a total of $5.96. Second pick is one storage bag, which is $5.96; the total is $11.95.
Third pick is two lotions, but each one is $8.95, meaning he's over and loses.
Last is Lindsay Allen, who plays Any Number for a dinette or a 2007 Dodge Charger (Std., ESP,
Conv.). First number of car is 2. Her first pick is 7....last number of the car ($ 2 _, _ _ 7). Second pick is 8.....second number of the piggy bank ($ _. 8 _). Third pick is 6.....middle number of the dinette ($ _ 6 _). Fourth pick is 4....first number of the dinette ($ 4 6 _). Fifth pick is 1.....middle number of the car ($ 2 _, 1 _ 7).

Thankfully, the only winner today, Mr. Seoul, gets into the Showcase.
First Showcase contains a bar set, an arcade game, a bathtub and a brass bed. This is passed to Mr. Burloch, who bids $12,000. For the only game winner today, we have him looking at Sandy the Surfer. First, she surfs even while talking on a new cell phone. Second, she surfs while she receives a card about her wedding in Tahiti! And finally, she'll only get off her surfboard if she rides in a new Pontiac G6 Convertible (Std., Airbags, Premium, Sport)! He bids $28,000 and loses immediately.
Burloch wins his Showcase and $21,933. Seoul leaves with $12,900.

This is the first day of February Sweeps, so $100,000 wins on this day are known to happen. If this occurs, Sunny and Kylynn will be the new all-time biggest winners on this show. They spin the fourth zero. Category is Thing. Starting with:
_ _ L _ _ E
_ N _ _
The girls call P, C, M and A and get....
_ _ L _ M E
_ N _ _
I think it's VOLUME KNOB. Do they? NO. At least it wasn't the $100,000 they lost on- it was the twin GTIs.
Next is Sonya Coleria, who plays the Punchboard. She swept the small prizes, giving her four punches. She punches out holes #21, #25, #10 and #50. First hole is worth $500, and she goes on. Second hole is worth $1,000, but she goes on again. Third hole is worth $50. Final hole, which she must take, is worth....$250.
Next is Daniel Burloch, going for dinnerware, a fireplace, and a safe in Most Expensive. He thinks the expensive prize is the safe. The dinnerware is $1,488. The fireplace is $3,200, and that's bad news. The safe is only $2,097. But he does get the dollar at the big wheel for $1,000, and gets into the Showcase.
Fourth is Billy Seoul, who plays for a camping trailer. It's either $10,259 or $11,880. He picks $11,880....and wins!
Fifth is Kevin Alfero, who plays for a trip to British Columbia in Grocery Game. Items: Poli-Grip, lotion, Clorox, storage bag and sleeping pills. First pick is 4 Clorox bottles. Each one is $1.99, a total of $5.96. Second pick is one storage bag, which is $5.96; the total is $11.95.
Third pick is two lotions, but each one is $8.95, meaning he's over and loses.
Last is Lindsay Allen, who plays Any Number for a dinette or a 2007 Dodge Charger (Std., ESP,
Conv.). First number of car is 2. Her first pick is 7....last number of the car ($ 2 _, _ _ 7). Second pick is 8.....second number of the piggy bank ($ _. 8 _). Third pick is 6.....middle number of the dinette ($ _ 6 _). Fourth pick is 4....first number of the dinette ($ 4 6 _). Fifth pick is 1.....middle number of the car ($ 2 _, 1 _ 7). Sixth pick is 5.....she wins a $465 dinette. The car was $23,107.
Thankfully, the only winner today, Mr. Seoul, gets into the Showcase.
First Showcase contains a bar set, an arcade game, a bathtub and a brass bed. This is passed to Mr. Burloch, who bids $12,000. For the only game winner today, we have him looking at Sandy the Surfer. First, she surfs even while talking on a new cell phone. Second, she surfs while she receives a card about her wedding in Tahiti! And finally, she'll only get off her surfboard if she rides in a new Pontiac G6 Convertible (Std., Airbags, Premium, Sport)! He bids $28,000 and loses immediately.
Burloch wins his Showcase and $21,933. Seoul leaves with $12,900.
