Great/Bad Moments and Stupid Answers Part 3

The Good:

-The first two MILLION DOLLAR WINS on "The Price is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular", both of which occurred in the Showcase! The first one resulted in a new "TPIR" world record being set, and the second one was the ultimate redemption after no Pricing Games were officially won on the year's third MDS!

-On the first week of April 2008, "The Price is Right" NEVER gave away a car in daytime for an entire week for the first time in who knows when. But these moments in Golden Road and Clock Game during that Friday's MDS more than made up for it!

-See why some of you will think the only big win from the second season of "Duel" was more thrilling than Ashlee Register's $1.7M+ win after Season 1!

-Watch this big win from "Dancing with the Stars" in May 2008 where Olympian Kristi Yamaguchi receives her ultimate coronation (after topping the judges' scoreboards week in and week out) and Mark Ballas redeems himself from the bummer with Sabrina Bryan the previous season!

-A woman FINALLY wins more than five games on "Jeopardy!" late in May 2008- Larissa Kelly! Not only that, she also shattered the female regular season winnings mark!

-Watch this moment where "Top Chef" became one of a few reality game shows to finally crown a female champion!

-This short music video features the footage where Richmond became the home of the most recent champion of "The Ultimate Fighter"!!!

The Bad:

-On her seventh day, this was the Daily Double that caused Larissa Kelly's historic "Jeopardy!" championship reign to come to an end.

- Watch the heartbreak occur for David Archuleta on the most recent season finale of "American Idol" when he was denied the right to break Jordin Sparks' record of being the youngest "American Idol" winner history.

Stupid Answers:

-During FJ! of a January 28th "Jeopardy!" episode, two players responded incorrectly with "Who is Alex Trebek?" as the highest-pair foreign-born personality on the 2007 Forbes List of TV Earners (it was actually Simon Cowell of "American Idol")!

-During a "Family Feud" Big Money Tournament episode on February 5th, Andrew of the McFarlands (who went on to win the $60,000 in that month's tourney) thought SPOUSES would be a great thing to spend lots of money on and then later on unload.

-On a February 7th "Family Feud" episode, instead of naming something you'd hate to see inside a hotel bed, Simon of the Darouvar family came up with a dirty bathroom!!! UGH.

-The next day on "Feud", February 8th, Tish of the Craven family came up with a lousy TV title for a show that had any form of the word American in its title- "Americanos". I think that would've been an appropriate title for a Mexican pro wrestling show, but that's me.

-On February 15th's "Wheel of Fortune", shortly after a round in which I laughed over a previous incorrect response of THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN for no reason, I laughed really hard during the Speed-Up Round when Latanya Townson, instead of DEEP-DISH PEACH PIE, said DEEP-DISH PUNCH PIE!

-On April 18th's "Wheel", on the first Toss-Up of the night in the category of Phrase, contestant Kristin Boshell (who went on to do very well that night despite this mistake) came up with a response that could've warranted a TV-PG rating for the episode- ONE THICK BODY (answer was ONE TRICK PONY)! Instead of laughing like other people, I did the David Letterman "What?".
