Who will make it to the finals and who won't? Let's find out now.
Remember, Andrew & Dan, the only all-male team left this season, will have to complete a Speed Bump task along the way this week since they finished last in last week's non-elimination leg.
OPENING CLUE: Travel by taxi to a retired Russian nuclear submarine. They must find its bowels and locate the officer being played by an actor who starred in "The Hunt For Red October" to get their second clue.
CLUE #2: Travel by taxi to an outdoor museum called Park Iskusstv.
Nick & Starr Spangler are in the lead heading into the following:
ROADBLOCK: One member of each team must ID how many Lenin statues are on the museum's park grounds (6) and how many Stalin statues are there (2). Once they think they're ready, they must go inside a bookstore and tell the correct number to the saleslady. The number of Lenin statues makes up the first digit of the correct answer, while the number of Stalin statues represents the other digit in the answer. Hence, the correct answer is 62. If incorrect, they're assessed a TEN MINUTE PENALTY and they'll have to wait out the penalty before trying again. If correct, they get to look up that page number in a book and information about their next location can be found within that page's text.
Andrew & Dan are way behind, as they went to the wrong park. Taking on the Roadblock are Nick, Dallas, Tina & Dan. The place they must go to next is Sadovaya Street.
Nick & Starr keep the lead! Toni & Dallas mess up at least twice on the Roadblock.
CLUE #4: Teams must travel by taxi to Sokol'niky Park and must locate the lady standing next to a Shetland pony; that lady will hand them their next clue.
DETOUR: Ride the Rails or Ride the Lines?
Ride the Rails: Teams must go on foot to the park's metro station and take a train to station 1905. Then, they must get a pastry before taking another train to a place where a statue of the Russian Alphabet creators can be found. They must find an old lady and deliver their pastry to her to get a postcard telling them to take a train to VDNKh Park; after getting there, they must search its station for their next clue.
Ride the Lines: Teams must run to a bus stop and get on a tour bus to Metpo "Kpachocenbckar". Once there, they must find a keymaker who will give them a locker key that tells them to travel by trolley bus to Rizhskaya Train Station. After getting there, they must unlock the correct locker with their given key to get a postcard directing them to take a train to VDNKh Park, where the next clue can be found.
Toni & Dallas were just barely ahead of Andrew & Dan after the Roadblock. HOWEVER, AFTER GETTING OUT OF A TAXI, DALLAS FORGETS TO TAKE ALONG HIS BAG CONTAINING HIS PASSPORT AND MONEY, AND THE TAXI DRIVES OFF. OUCH. Earlier on, I thought Ken & Tina were the ones that had this unfortunate thing happen. They then are forced to borrow money from other people in the city.
SPEED BUMP: After getting to Sokol'niky Park, Andrew & Dan are forced to dance with a Russian dance group to one song. Once they've done well enough, they can then try their Detour task.
Nick & Starr try the pastry task while Ken & Tina go with the bus task. Ken & Tina wind up taking the wrong kind of bus while Andrew & Dan have to re-do their Russian dancing at least once. Toni & Dallas, meanwhile, fall to last place as a result of Dallas' passport & money fiasco.
PIT STOP: Teams must run to the main part of VDNKh Park. Only the first three teams here get the chance to compete in the finals.
Nick & Starr are still ahead after their Detour task. Do they hang on to win this leg?...
...YES- THAT'S THEIR SIXTH WIN OF THE SEASON, TYING COLIN & CHRISTIE'S ALL-TIME SINGLE SEASON WINS RECORD AT SIX!!!! They also win a trip to Anguilla. But more importantly, they have the chance to win $1 Million in the last leg and possibly finish the greatest run in the show's history!
The second team to advance to the championship round...
...Andrew & Dan! The last team in...
Ken & Tina
Toni & Dallas
...Ken & Tina Greene, despite their mistake in not picking up their final clue. Which means Toni & Dallas Imbimbo's money & passport fiasco is truly a fiasco for the ages on this show, because they're eliminated. But unlike the other teams eliminated this season, they don't leave the race empty-handed, because they will be going to the Dominican Republic.
The $1 Million will be won in Portland, Oregon.

WOF: Last night, Tara Ray became just the second player this season to sweep the maingame, but blew her $100,000 bonus round opportunity, which would've made her the second-highest winner of the season. Let's see if we can make a nice recovery from that tonight. The first Toss-Up category is Thing:
T _ E/_ _ C A L/N _ _ _ _ _ _ E _
Yobelin solves THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER for $1,000.

Tonight's players:
Yobelin Fernandez (NYC)- Admininstrative modeling agency office manager and licensed massage therapist
Paul Hermacio (Seattle)- Fireman and occasional hospital volunteer; formerly worked eight years with the Air Force. Also, her mother was on the show back in 1977 with Chuck Woolery (with Paul in her belly at that point in her life) and she got to buy a few prizes!
Lisa Demitrovich (Brookline, MA)- Pharmaceutical sales representative and currently seeking her MBA in college
$2,000 Toss-Up category is Around the House (the first Toss-Up should've fallen under that same category):
F A _ _ L Y
P _ _ _ _ _ _ T
Yobelin quickly gets FAMILY PORTRAIT to triple up.
Round 1 category is Food & Drink and out on the wheel now is a country music prize package that includes a trip to Nashville and some albums from Billy Currington, Sugarland, George Strait & Lee Ann Womack, all worth $5,029. Early on, Yobelin calls three R's for $7,500 but later buys the only dud vowel on the board (I). Paul then spins Lose a Turn. After Lisa then calls the C's, we have...
_ _ T T E R C R E A _
F R O S T E D
C _ _ C A _ E S
...she solves BUTTERCREAM FROSTED CUPCAKES for $1,000.
DUDS: I
Campbell's Soup Jackpot Round category is Before & After. Paul begins the round with a pair of R's for $7,000. He then calls four T's to triple that amount! But he then calls a dud in L. Lisa then calls two H's for a $1,000 gift tag from Claim Jumper. At that point, we have...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _/_ _ T H/T H _/_ T _ R _/
_ _ _/_ T R _ _ _ _
...she calls the N's for another $1,200 and the Jackpot's now at 13 grand. After buying the I's, she loses the gift tag and $700 to a Bankrupt. Yobelin hits Bankrupt immediately. Paul then barely avoids the Bankrupt and calls a $900 W but then repeats the E, possibly costing him $21,900. Darn. Lisa then calls the D's for the Wild Card, a $550 C, a $900 G, and then buys the A's. She then calls the S's for another $3,200 and solves DANCING WITH THE STARS AND STRIPES for another $4,400 and the lead for now with $5,400. A $16,150 Jackpot goes unclaimed in the end.
DUDS: L
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Lisa, Yobelin)
Swanson Broth Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Place. After Yobelin buys the I's, we have...

...she buys the last vowel of U (two of them up there) and she solves POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTION for another $2,100 and a trip to Bermuda, giving her 11 grand in cash and trip; she has the lead back.
DUDS: E

...for $24,000 and to steal the match...nothing! Lisa then calls the L's and solves RATTLESNAKES AND ARMADILLOS to win $30K and the match with $35,400! Yobelin leaves with $14K in cash and trip and Paul unfortunately goes home with the $1,000 consolation. Hey, at least the $1,000's better than the crummy parting gifts offered back in the 1970s.
Big Money Round: The Wild Card's in play tonight. Lisa spins the first A in AMERICA'S and the category is Thing. It's a one-wordy, and we start with:
_ _ _ _ _ E _ _
After going with CDMA on her regular picks, she chooses P...

WOF: Last night, Tara Ray became just the second player this season to sweep the maingame, but blew her $100,000 bonus round opportunity, which would've made her the second-highest winner of the season. Let's see if we can make a nice recovery from that tonight. The first Toss-Up category is Thing:
T _ E/_ _ C A L/N _ _ _ _ _ _ E _
Yobelin solves THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER for $1,000.
$5,000 WINNING ID OF THE NIGHT: FC03013
Tonight's players:
Yobelin Fernandez (NYC)- Admininstrative modeling agency office manager and licensed massage therapist
Paul Hermacio (Seattle)- Fireman and occasional hospital volunteer; formerly worked eight years with the Air Force. Also, her mother was on the show back in 1977 with Chuck Woolery (with Paul in her belly at that point in her life) and she got to buy a few prizes!
Lisa Demitrovich (Brookline, MA)- Pharmaceutical sales representative and currently seeking her MBA in college
$2,000 Toss-Up category is Around the House (the first Toss-Up should've fallen under that same category):
F A _ _ L Y
P _ _ _ _ _ _ T
Yobelin quickly gets FAMILY PORTRAIT to triple up.
Round 1 category is Food & Drink and out on the wheel now is a country music prize package that includes a trip to Nashville and some albums from Billy Currington, Sugarland, George Strait & Lee Ann Womack, all worth $5,029. Early on, Yobelin calls three R's for $7,500 but later buys the only dud vowel on the board (I). Paul then spins Lose a Turn. After Lisa then calls the C's, we have...
_ _ T T E R C R E A _
F R O S T E D
C _ _ C A _ E S
...she solves BUTTERCREAM FROSTED CUPCAKES for $1,000.
DUDS: I
Campbell's Soup Jackpot Round category is Before & After. Paul begins the round with a pair of R's for $7,000. He then calls four T's to triple that amount! But he then calls a dud in L. Lisa then calls two H's for a $1,000 gift tag from Claim Jumper. At that point, we have...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _/_ _ T H/T H _/_ T _ R _/
_ _ _/_ T R _ _ _ _
...she calls the N's for another $1,200 and the Jackpot's now at 13 grand. After buying the I's, she loses the gift tag and $700 to a Bankrupt. Yobelin hits Bankrupt immediately. Paul then barely avoids the Bankrupt and calls a $900 W but then repeats the E, possibly costing him $21,900. Darn. Lisa then calls the D's for the Wild Card, a $550 C, a $900 G, and then buys the A's. She then calls the S's for another $3,200 and solves DANCING WITH THE STARS AND STRIPES for another $4,400 and the lead for now with $5,400. A $16,150 Jackpot goes unclaimed in the end.
DUDS: L
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Lisa, Yobelin)
Swanson Broth Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Place. After Yobelin buys the I's, we have...
_ O _ _ _ A R
T O _ R _ S T
A T T R A C T _ O N
...she buys the last vowel of U (two of them up there) and she solves POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTION for another $2,100 and a trip to Bermuda, giving her 11 grand in cash and trip; she has the lead back.
DUDS: E
WINNING ID FOR TRIP: TM7964664
Final Toss-Up category is Proper Name:
_ _ _ _ _ N
_ P _ _ L B _ _ G
Yobelin sweeps the Toss-Ups with STEVEN SPIELBERG, adding on to her lead (and she was quick on all them)! She now has $14,000. Speed-Up Round category is Living Things and consonants are worth $6,000 each! After Paul calls the T's, we have...
R A T T _ _ _ N A _ _ _/AND/
A R _ A D _ _ _ _ _
...for $24,000 and to steal the match...nothing! Lisa then calls the L's and solves RATTLESNAKES AND ARMADILLOS to win $30K and the match with $35,400! Yobelin leaves with $14K in cash and trip and Paul unfortunately goes home with the $1,000 consolation. Hey, at least the $1,000's better than the crummy parting gifts offered back in the 1970s.
Big Money Round: The Wild Card's in play tonight. Lisa spins the first A in AMERICA'S and the category is Thing. It's a one-wordy, and we start with:
_ _ _ _ _ E _ _
After going with CDMA on her regular picks, she chooses P...
P A _ C _ E C _
...she scores a $25,000 PAYCHECK, giving her $60,400 total!

Monoceros
"What is a unicorn?"...it is indeed a unicorn, taking him to $11,600! After that category gets cleared out, Barnes starts going Daily Double Hunting after he didn't do so in the first round. But Sexton's the one who finds the other Daily Double under the $1,600 Show Biz Award Winners clue with $3,800. The champ has $7,800 and Pinnow now has $15,600 (after a reverse ruling on one of his previous incorrect responses). Her wager is $3,000.

BIG screw-up on "TPIR" website
For those of you watching today's episode of "The Price is Right", when you click the link for today's episode (November 26th; I won't be recapping that because I just don't feel like it), you will notice that the episode you see online WAS NOT the same episode that aired on our TV sets earlier today. In fact, the episode that you may have seen linked there was a later-taped episode before it's even aired on TV. So CBS.com SCREWED UP BIG TIME.
Here are a couple clips from today's episode I didn't cover that did air on TV:
Clip 1
Clip 2
UPON FURTHER REVIEW: The mistakenly placed episode was Episode 4553K, which isn't supposed to air until December 17th (the day after the season finale of "The Biggest Loser: Families").

$2,000 Toss-Up category is Rhyme Time:
_ H E/_ A _ E/_ F/_ _ E/
G A _ _
THE NAME OF THE GAME is "Wheel of Fortune", and Tara knows that to jump to $3,000.
Round 1 category is Before & After and a $6,000 Florida trip is now on the wheel. Tara starts out with five T's for the Wild Card. After then calling four H's for $10,000, she hangs on to it for now. After she calls the W's a little later, we have...
_ _ T/W _ T H/THE/_ _ _/_ _/W _ T H/
THE/_ E W/_ _ _ _ E _
...I think I've got this now. After a pair of N's for another $1,000, she buys the I's and the O's but then calls a dud in S. Bill calls the R's for $1,200, the L for the trip, a $300 D but then a dud of C. Tracey hits Bankrupt, giving the all-important control back to Tara...and she solves OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW YORKER for another $12,050 and $15,050 total!
DUDS: C, S
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Tracey)
Campbell's Soup Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food & Drink. Midway in the round, Tracey calls three C's for $900 and the Free Spin, but then has to use it right away after spinning Lose a Turn. A little later, she calls a $500 B while on Jackpot and we have...
_ _ A _ _ A C _ S/_ _ _ E/_ R I E S/&/
CANADIAN/B A C _ N
...she can't solve for an $8,450 Jackpot. She calls a pair of F's for another grand, buys a pair of O's to clean out the vowels and then calls a $300 M. After a $300 H, she spins the left Bankrupt of the Million Dollar Wedge to lose $5,300. That allows Tara to solve FLAPJACKS, HOME FRIES & CANADIAN BACON for a trip to Vancouver worth $5,274, bringing her new total to $20,324 in cash and trip!
DUDS: T
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Tracey)
WINNING ID FOR TRIP: EV0002079
Swanson Broth Mystery Round category is Show Biz. Tracey immediately hits her third Bankrupt this night. After she calls the H's, we have...
S _ _ E _ _ O _ E _/_ _ _/T _/HOST/
H E _ _ _/_ _ _ _
...she's best associated with "Project Runway" and Seal. After buying the A, she hits Bankrupt to lose her Wild Card and $2,250. Bill then calls a $550 R, the D's for another $900, and then lands on the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. He calls an N and flips...$10,000! But he loses that and the other $1,450 to a Bankrupt. Ouch. Tracey calls the M's for $800, the L's to go to two grand and buys the U's, then calls a $700 P and buys the I's to clear out the vowels.
Unfortunately, while trying to pick up the Million Dollar Wedge, she calls a dud in G. Tara then solves SUPERMODEL AND TV HOST HEIDI KLUM to keep her perfect record intact and go to $21,324!
DUDS: G
BANKRUPTS: 3 (Everybody)
Last Toss-Up category is Person:

Tara solves GRADUATE STUDENT to go to $24,324! And it's time for our Speed-Up Round with the category being Phrase, and the consonants are worth $1,300 apiece. That means if Tara wins this round, she will be the second player this season to run the table in the maingame, joining Jeremy Setti. After she calls four T's to start...
_ _ _ _/T _ _ T/
T _ _ _ _ _ T
...she guesses HOLD THAT THOUGHT...SHE'S SCORED THE MAINGAME SWEEP!!! Her winning total is $29,524! The other two split $2,000.
Big Money Round: Since we're resuming a week we started on the week of Election Day, the Volkswagen Eos is back in play for the rest of this week. Let's see if Tara can put a nice cherry on top of her maingame sweep tonight. She spins the M in AMERICA'S and the category is On the Map. Starting with:
_ _ N E _ _
This is in Alaska. She calls P, M, C and O but none are there. Can she still get JUNEAU?...
...NO, AND EVEN WORSE- SHE'S THE THIRD $100,000 LOSER OF THE SEASON. Darn. What an unfortunate way to end such a good show tonight. That's the second TOTAL TRAINWRECK bonus round of the season.

"What is Girl with the Pearl Earring?"...RIGHT to go to $8,600! Haramoto finds the other Daily Double as the last clue of the round under the $1,600 Let's Get in Shape clue with $20,200. The champ's currently at $15,800 and Gipson's at $1,600. Her wager is $5,000. Her lead is on the line with this clue:

THE NAME OF THE GAME is "Wheel of Fortune", and Tara knows that to jump to $3,000.
Round 1 category is Before & After and a $6,000 Florida trip is now on the wheel. Tara starts out with five T's for the Wild Card. After then calling four H's for $10,000, she hangs on to it for now. After she calls the W's a little later, we have...
_ _ T/W _ T H/THE/_ _ _/_ _/W _ T H/
THE/_ E W/_ _ _ _ E _
...I think I've got this now. After a pair of N's for another $1,000, she buys the I's and the O's but then calls a dud in S. Bill calls the R's for $1,200, the L for the trip, a $300 D but then a dud of C. Tracey hits Bankrupt, giving the all-important control back to Tara...and she solves OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW YORKER for another $12,050 and $15,050 total!
DUDS: C, S
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Tracey)
Campbell's Soup Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food & Drink. Midway in the round, Tracey calls three C's for $900 and the Free Spin, but then has to use it right away after spinning Lose a Turn. A little later, she calls a $500 B while on Jackpot and we have...
_ _ A _ _ A C _ S/_ _ _ E/_ R I E S/&/
CANADIAN/B A C _ N
...she can't solve for an $8,450 Jackpot. She calls a pair of F's for another grand, buys a pair of O's to clean out the vowels and then calls a $300 M. After a $300 H, she spins the left Bankrupt of the Million Dollar Wedge to lose $5,300. That allows Tara to solve FLAPJACKS, HOME FRIES & CANADIAN BACON for a trip to Vancouver worth $5,274, bringing her new total to $20,324 in cash and trip!
DUDS: T
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Tracey)
WINNING ID FOR TRIP: EV0002079
Swanson Broth Mystery Round category is Show Biz. Tracey immediately hits her third Bankrupt this night. After she calls the H's, we have...
S _ _ E _ _ O _ E _/_ _ _/T _/HOST/
H E _ _ _/_ _ _ _
...she's best associated with "Project Runway" and Seal. After buying the A, she hits Bankrupt to lose her Wild Card and $2,250. Bill then calls a $550 R, the D's for another $900, and then lands on the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. He calls an N and flips...$10,000! But he loses that and the other $1,450 to a Bankrupt. Ouch. Tracey calls the M's for $800, the L's to go to two grand and buys the U's, then calls a $700 P and buys the I's to clear out the vowels.
Unfortunately, while trying to pick up the Million Dollar Wedge, she calls a dud in G. Tara then solves SUPERMODEL AND TV HOST HEIDI KLUM to keep her perfect record intact and go to $21,324!
DUDS: G

_ _ _ _/T _ _ T/
T _ _ _ _ _ T
...she guesses HOLD THAT THOUGHT...SHE'S SCORED THE MAINGAME SWEEP!!! Her winning total is $29,524! The other two split $2,000.
Big Money Round: Since we're resuming a week we started on the week of Election Day, the Volkswagen Eos is back in play for the rest of this week. Let's see if Tara can put a nice cherry on top of her maingame sweep tonight. She spins the M in AMERICA'S and the category is On the Map. Starting with:

"The Biggest Loser" 11/25
Last week, they went back to the 1980's. This week, they saluted Thanksgiving with NFL Week!
The NFL stars that made cameos were former "Dancing with the Stars" finalist Jerry Rice and Steve Young.
Challenge #1: Run through an NFL-like obstacle course twice. The one that improved the most from their first attempt got to donate $10,000 to the school of his/her choice.
Last place: Heba (Margin: Five seconds)
5th: Amy (Margin: Seven seconds)
4th: Michelle (Margin: 11 seconds)
3rd: Ed (Margin: 12 seconds)
The runner-up beat her original time by 17 seconds, while the winner improved by 23 seconds. The winner was...
...Vicky!
Challenge #2: The contestants were placed on one end of a football field and footballs were flying at them. They had to catch them and place them in their opponents' racks. Once a contestant's rack had ten footballs in it, that player was out. Last one standing won a 2009 Pro Bowl package that includes a trip to said NFL all-star game in Hawaii.
Elimination order for the first four:
1. Michelle
2. Renee
3. Ed
4. Amy
Early on, Ed caught a ball that was worth a $500 bonus. The winner was...
...Vicky- she swept this week's challenges!
Another former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, Rocco DiSpirito, stopped by to show everyone how to make a healthy version of the usual Thanksgiving dinner.
All of the remaining contestants then got to watch videos from home.
WEIGH-IN:
Amy Cremen: 168 lbs, 5 pounds lost, 2.89%
Heba: 224 lbs, 7 pounds lost, 3.03%
Ed: 253 lbs, 9 pounds lost, 3.44%
Vicky: 180 lbs, 7 pounds lost, 3.74%
Renee: 199 lbs, 8 pounds lost, 3.86%
For Michelle to definitely stay alive, she needed to have lost at least six pounds...
Michelle: 176 lbs, 10 pounds lost, 5.38%
...boy, did she ever! That's gotta be one of the largest weight losses on the ranch by a female in history!
ELIMINATION: Heba and the remaining Amy were up for elimination this time. Since Cremen had the worst percentage this week, she got an automatic elimination vote.
1st Vote (Michelle)- Heba (TIED at 1 apiece)

Primetime "Deal" in BAD shape
NBC has released their midseason schedule for 2009, and "Deal or No Deal" is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND on it. I'm hoping it will serve as replacement programming for any show on that schedule that gets yanked on the schedule, should it happen. Otherwise, this could very well spell the end of the primetime version of "Deal", as production on the show has been suspended as of a few months ago per Hollywood Junket.
"Dancing with the Stars"- SEASON FINALE
In the first segment, after we see Cloris Leachman fooling around outside, Alicia Keys performs "I Need You".
The third segment starts with Misty May-Treanor telling us that she's been cleared to walk as of last Wednesday!
Toni Braxton's unable to do her last dance tonight because of recently having surgery.
Jeffrey Ross roasts the three final teams near the second half of the show!
Now, for the three final teams' final dances. Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson go first with the Hustle, dancing to "Funkytown". They get three 9's.
Second are Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer with the Jitterbug. They're dancing to, I do believe, of all songs- "Jim Dandy" by Black Oak Arkansas!
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 10!
TOTAL: 28
In judges' points for the finals, they're ahead of Warren & Kym by a single point!
Last but not least, Brooke Burke & Derek Hough perform the V. Waltz to "Daughters" by John Mayer. They score another PERFECTO!!!
Miley Cyrus performs her new single "Fly on the Wall".
The first couple eliminated tonight...
Brooke & Derek
Lance & Lacey

1. Soup- $1.29 ($10)

TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Wine cabinet (Phire)
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:

TODAY'S FIRST FOUR BREAKFAST CLUB MEMBER: Karim
Christopher from Juneau, AK plays Balance Game for a trip to Jamaica. With Amber & Gabrielle modeling the trip, Phire handles the scale today. The last three numbers in the price of the trip are 5, 5 & 4.
DOLLAR VALUES AVAILABLE: $1,000, $2,000 & $3,000
I say $5,554 for the trip, while he goes with $4,554 after messing with the audience...I'm right and he's not, so we have a winless second half.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Christopher: 40 + 30 = $.70
De Andre: $.75
Alexandra: 55 + 70 = OVER
Hold your pants again, De Andre, because you're facing Lois in the Showcase today! I wanted him to win some money on the Big Wheel so that he could buy some bigger pants. Oh well.
We start the first Showcase with something else that sucks something up besides vampires (one was played by Gabrielle)- a new vaccum system (Phire). Second, the vampire doesn't like steaks, so it's scared silly by a new BBQ (Amber). Finally, I hope you don't get bitten by any vampires, much less any insects, while camping inside a new TrailManor trailer (Gabrielle)! Drew & Rich totally bombed the last segment.

$5,000 WINNING ID OF THE NIGHT: Cl10973

Likolani Kalupu (Oahu, HI)- Server/trainer at a restaurant

Kawa Haragean (Ka'ai, HI)- University of Hawaii-Hilo student focusing on elementary education
$2,000 Toss-Up category is On the Map:
_ C O T L _ N D/&/
_ A L E S
Sherry solves SCOTLAND & WALES for $2,000.
A trip to Acapulco worth $7,300 appears on the wheel and the Round 1 category is Event. Early on, Sherry calls a $300 T for the Free Spin. But she then uses it after she calls a dud in R to miss out on picking up the trip. After she buys the E, we have...
_ N N _ _ _
_ _ _ _
_ E S T I _ _ _
...at this point, putting FILM as the second word will be incorrect. She then calls D for dud. Kawa calls three L's for $2,700 but calls a dud in M, obviously thinking that second word was FILM and he fell for the trap. Likolani calls an H for the trip, which is the first letter of the important middle word. After a $2,500 F, she solves ANNUAL HULA FESTIVAL to win that amount and the trip, for a new total of $10,800 in cash and trip.
DUDS: D, M, R
Campbell's Soup Jackpot Round category is Song Lyrics. Kawa starts out by picking up the Wild Card with an S but then hits Lose a Turn. Likolani then calls a pair of N's for $7,000. On Kawa's second turn, he loses the Wild Card to a Bankrupt. On his third turn, he calls five L's for the Million Dollar Wedge but then calls a dud in T. After Likolani buys the O, we have...
_ _/_ L L/L _ V _/_ N/_/_ _ L L O _/
S _ _ M _ R _ N _
...she duds out with H. Sherry calls the W's for $600 and solves WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE to go to $3,000 and void Kawa's MDW.
DUDS: C, G, H P, T
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Sherry, Kawa)
Swanson Broth Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Phrase. Likolani instantly picks up $17,500 by calling five T's. Unfortunately for her, two spins later, she spins Bankrupt to lose $19,100- the second biggest Bankrupt loss this season. OUCH. A little later, Kawa calls two L's while on the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. He flips it over...but he gets his second Bankrupt of the night. When we get back to Likolani, she calls a $3,500 D but several spins later comes Lose a Turn. After Sherry then calls the B's, we have...
THE/HUSTLE/_ N D/_ U S T L E/OF/THE/
B _ _/_ _ T _
...she buys the A, calls a $600 G and buys the I's, then solves THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE BIG CITY for another $2,900 and a trip to NYC (with tickets to the play "Stomp"), for a new total of $15,505 in cash and trip and the lead (the NYC's trip value of $9,255 was incorrect; it's actually $9,605).
DUDS: R
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Likolani, Kawa)
WINNING ID FOR TRIP: PB00702
Last Toss-Up category is People:
E _ _ _ R T
D I _ E _ S
Sherry solves EXPERT DIVERS to go to $18,505 as we head into the Speed-Up Round category of Place. Consonants are worth $6,000 each! After she calls the N...
_ _ _ _ T R _ N _ _ S
_ _ R _ _ _ _ S _
...she can't solve. Kawa calls the L but can't solve with $18,000 on the table. Likolani calls an H but also can't solve for $18,000. Sherry calls the C's next but can't solve for $24,000. Kawa calls a dud in M. Likolani calls another dud in P. Sherry also duds out with D. Kawa then calls the E's and solves ELECTRONICS WAREHOUSE to leave with $18K! Likolani leaves with $10,800 in cash and trip and Sherry wins the championship by $505!
Big Money Round: This one is important- if Sherry's unsuccessful here tonight, we will be skunked for the first time this season. She spins the R and the category is Fictional Place. Starting with:
_ T _ _ _ _
I think I know already. She calls C, H, P and A and gets...
_ T _ P _ A
...it's not ITHACA now. But does she get UTOPIA?...
...YES- STILL NO SKUNK THIS SEASON!! The bad news is it's not the BMW convertible we couldn't give away the past three out of four nights. The good news...
...she wins $40,000, for a final total of $58,155 in cash and trip!

A little later, Kawa calls two L's while on the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. He flips it over...but he gets his second Bankrupt of the night. When we get back to Likolani, she calls a $3,500 D but several spins later comes Lose a Turn. After Sherry then calls the B's, we have...
THE/HUSTLE/_ N D/_ U S T L E/OF/THE/
B _ _/_ _ T _
...she buys the A, calls a $600 G and buys the I's, then solves THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE BIG CITY for another $2,900 and a trip to NYC (with tickets to the play "Stomp"), for a new total of $15,505 in cash and trip and the lead (the NYC's trip value of $9,255 was incorrect; it's actually $9,605).
DUDS: R
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Likolani, Kawa)
WINNING ID FOR TRIP: PB00702
Last Toss-Up category is People:
E _ _ _ R T
D I _ E _ S
Sherry solves EXPERT DIVERS to go to $18,505 as we head into the Speed-Up Round category of Place. Consonants are worth $6,000 each! After she calls the N...
_ _ _ _ T R _ N _ _ S
_ _ R _ _ _ _ S _
...she can't solve. Kawa calls the L but can't solve with $18,000 on the table. Likolani calls an H but also can't solve for $18,000. Sherry calls the C's next but can't solve for $24,000. Kawa calls a dud in M. Likolani calls another dud in P. Sherry also duds out with D. Kawa then calls the E's and solves ELECTRONICS WAREHOUSE to leave with $18K! Likolani leaves with $10,800 in cash and trip and Sherry wins the championship by $505!
Big Money Round: This one is important- if Sherry's unsuccessful here tonight, we will be skunked for the first time this season. She spins the R and the category is Fictional Place. Starting with:
_ T _ _ _ _
I think I know already. She calls C, H, P and A and gets...
_ T _ P _ A
...it's not ITHACA now. But does she get UTOPIA?...
...YES- STILL NO SKUNK THIS SEASON!! The bad news is it's not the BMW convertible we couldn't give away the past three out of four nights. The good news...
...she wins $40,000, for a final total of $58,155 in cash and trip!
Some "TPIR" Pricing Games retired
Per Golden-Road.net, Buy or Sell and Barker's Bargain Bar have both been retired from the Pricing Game slate. It's possible a few more retirements may follow.
"Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" big winner bankrupt

"Dancing with the Stars"- SEASON 7 FINALS, PART 1
After we see what each of the final three teams chose as their favorite Ballroom and Latin dances all season long, we can now reveal that the new junior champions on this show, as determined by you at home are...
...Craig & Samantha! To celebrate, they dance the Jive.
Now, back to the real finals. We begin with all three teams competing in a "Samba Smackdown". Brooke & Derek go first, Lance & Lacey go second and Warren & Kym are last. Here are Brooke & Derek's scores:
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 10!
TOTAL: 28
Lance & Lacey's scores:
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 9
TOTAL: 26
And for Warren & Kym:
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 7
BRUNO: 9
TOTAL: 25
Now, for Freestyle! Brooke & Derek are first with "You're The One That I Want" as their background song. After the performance was done, I believe I saw "Catch 21" host Alfonso Ribiero in the audience! Bruno said that was one of the best Freestyle performances he had ever seen! Do the other two agree in their scores?...
CARRIE ANN: 10!
LEN: 10!
BRUNO: 10!!!
PERFECTO!!!!!
...I think so!! Final score for them: 58!
Lance & Lacey go second with their song being "Tricky". They pick up...3 9's, for a final total tonight of 53.
Warren & Kym's Freestyle is set to Tina Turner's "Proud Mary".
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 10!
BRUNO: 9
TOTAL: 28
That ties them up with Lance & Lacey at 53.
So far, it looks like Brooke & Derek may go wire-to-wire and win this thing, but there's still one more dance for at least two of these teams on tomorrow's two-hour season finale.

11/24/2008 Results
TPIR: Only three episodes this week. Episode 4531K begins with Nicole, Joyce, Barac and Laura. The first IUFB is a water bounce platform (Amber).
Laura: $500
Barac: $450 (STAGE GARF)
Joyce: $799
Nicole: $550
ARP: $900
Joyce Forrest, orginally from New Orleans, plays Range Game for a snowmobile (Phire). I'm sure those people at Golden-Road.net are happy about this- since Roger's no longer doing the Pricing Game schedules, the first game's usually supposed to be for a car or cash. Not the case today for whatever reason.
Anyway, the range today is $7,800-$8,400. She stops the big range at $7,984-$8,134. ARP: $7,999!
Sharon takes over the orange spot and the second IUFB is a bumper pool table (Gabrielle & Phire).
Sharon: $900
Nicole: $1,150
Laura: $1,500
Barac: $1,501
ARP: $3,100
Barac Wimberly, a tour bus driver from St. Petersburg, FL, plays Temptation for a Mini Cooper Convertible (Std., Prot)(Amber). First number is 2. The first gift is an electric stove (Gabrielle) with a price of $399 and he picks 3 as the second number. Second is an instrument/accessory package (Phire) marked at $558 and he chooses 8 as the third number. Third is a training bike (Gabrielle) marked at $799 and he selects 9 as the fourth number. The last gift is five grand in cash (Phire) and he picks 5 as the last number. His Mini Cooper price guess thus is $23,895, but he later changes it to $29,895. Wisely, he decides to bail out and take $6,756 in gifts. And believe it or not, he had the right car price the first time ($23,895)! I would've said $23,570 for the Mini Cooper.
Coming on down sixth is David Holcomb and the third IUFB is a washer/dryer (Amber).
David: $1,250
Sharon: $1,500
Nicole: $2,100
Laura: $2,200
ARP: $1,768
Sharon Davis plays Switch? for SCUBA gear marked at $2,160 (Gabrielle) and a motorscooter marked at $1,499 (Phire). Much to the audience's dismay, she leaves the prices alone...shut up, crowd, she wins!
TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Floor clock (Amber)
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Sharon ($5,427): 15 + 15 = $.30 (she was spinning the wheel skillfully)
Joyce ($8,899): Dime + 60 = $.70
Barac ($9,856): 40 + 55 = $.95
Barac's in the Showcase!
Leaving the CBS mob next is Laura Missora and the fourth IUFB is a portable boat (Phire; very awkward green screen action there).
Laura M.: $550
Nicole: $1,375
Laura R.: $1,201
David: $1,100
ARP: $1,599
Nicole Erdosy plays Super Squeeze Play for a T@B trailer (Gabrielle). Board:
145195
She removes the second 1 for a guess of $14,595...but she should've removed the first 5 instead (ARP: $14,195).
Christopher Mifflin from the Marines is called on down next and the next IUFB is a set of power tools (Gabrielle).
Christopher: $1,300
Laura R.: $751
David: $1,500
Laura M.: BUCK
ARP: $670
Laura Mazzora plays Pick a Pair for patio furniture (Amber & Phire) worth $8,586. Products today are Clorox bleach, a box of jellybeans, nail kit, StressEez, Gatorade and soup. She wins by picking both the drink and the soup at $1.29 apiece!
Getting called down last is Rachel Strauss and the final IUFB is an Ashley bed (Phire).
Rachel: $2,700
Christopher: $1,500
Laura: $1,701
David: $2,701
ARP: $2,099, so Laura Riggs escapes the First Four Breakfast Club!
This social worker now plays Money Game for a Ford Fusion (Std., AT, Prot, Mats)(Amber & Gabrielle). Board:
(21)(37)(95)
(70)(20)(19)
(55)(49)(63)
MIDDLE NUMBER: 6 ($ _ _ , 6 _ _)
She gets 21 right away as the first two numbers ($ 2 1 , 6 _ _). She then chooses 49...first Money Game EXACTA of the season right there ($21,649)! Too bad Drew was rushing through this game to kill a bit of the excitement.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Nicole ($1,599): 45 + 95 = OVER
Laura M. ($9,256): 35 + 90 = OVER
Laura B. ($23,748): WINS BY DEFAULT AT $.45
Briggs wins the battle of the Lauras!
First Showcase has an Ashley living room (Gabrielle), a security system and a trip to Bangkok (Phire).
LAURA PASSES TO BARAC; BARAC BIDS $11,750 ON ROOM/TRIP SHOWCASE- STAGE GARF
MY BID FOR ROOM/TRIP SHOWCASE: $17,550
For Laura, we see Amber being stuck to a wall. As a result, she can't answer an important call on a new cell phone. Also, she can't get to the remote to turn the channel on a new TV (Phire). But more importantly, because she's glued to that wall, Gabrielle decides to steal her set of keys to a new Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid (Std., EBH).
LAURA BIDS $23,500 ON CAR SHOWCASE (won't cover the car, but it's a fine bid)
MY BID FOR CAR SHOWCASE: $26,900
BARAC'S SHOWCASE:
BID: $11,750
ARP: $16,488
DIFFERENCE: $4,738
LAURA'S SHOWCASE:

HUEY LONG & THE NEWS
15 MINUTES OF FAME
"E" FOR EFFORT
Barnes goes Daily Double Hunting after "E" For Effort gets cleaned out. But Jackson beats him to the punch just before the first break under the $800 Huey Long & The News clue with $2,200; she leads Barnes by $200. The champ's got $1,800. Her wager is $1,000.
In 1935 Huey was assassinated in this city's 34-story Art Deco building, then the South's tallest.
"What is New Orleans?"...right state, wrong city. It was Baton Rouge, so she drops to $1,200.
At the first break, Barnes has $2,200, the champ's still at $1,800 and Jackson's still at $1,200. Let's see how the scores change after this round:
Brian: $4,600
Nathaniel: $4,000
Jean: $3,800

He has $5,200 and a $600 lead over the current champ, while the lady has $3,800. His wager is a big three grand. The clue:
This pole's "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" was published with a disclaimer to avoid charges of heresy.
"Who is Copernicus?"...RIGHT to keep the lead and go to $8,200! Not too long after that, Jackson finds the other Daily Double under the $1,600 "EX" clue with five grand. Her wager is $2,000.
An official of the church charged with taking care of the edifice; does that ring a bell?
"What is a sexton?"...right to to go to $7,000!

Laura: $500
Barac: $450 (STAGE GARF)
Joyce: $799
Nicole: $550
ARP: $900
Joyce Forrest, orginally from New Orleans, plays Range Game for a snowmobile (Phire). I'm sure those people at Golden-Road.net are happy about this- since Roger's no longer doing the Pricing Game schedules, the first game's usually supposed to be for a car or cash. Not the case today for whatever reason.
Anyway, the range today is $7,800-$8,400. She stops the big range at $7,984-$8,134. ARP: $7,999!
Sharon takes over the orange spot and the second IUFB is a bumper pool table (Gabrielle & Phire).
Sharon: $900
Nicole: $1,150
Laura: $1,500
Barac: $1,501
ARP: $3,100
Barac Wimberly, a tour bus driver from St. Petersburg, FL, plays Temptation for a Mini Cooper Convertible (Std., Prot)(Amber). First number is 2. The first gift is an electric stove (Gabrielle) with a price of $399 and he picks 3 as the second number. Second is an instrument/accessory package (Phire) marked at $558 and he chooses 8 as the third number. Third is a training bike (Gabrielle) marked at $799 and he selects 9 as the fourth number. The last gift is five grand in cash (Phire) and he picks 5 as the last number. His Mini Cooper price guess thus is $23,895, but he later changes it to $29,895. Wisely, he decides to bail out and take $6,756 in gifts. And believe it or not, he had the right car price the first time ($23,895)! I would've said $23,570 for the Mini Cooper.
Coming on down sixth is David Holcomb and the third IUFB is a washer/dryer (Amber).
David: $1,250
Sharon: $1,500
Nicole: $2,100
Laura: $2,200
ARP: $1,768
Sharon Davis plays Switch? for SCUBA gear marked at $2,160 (Gabrielle) and a motorscooter marked at $1,499 (Phire). Much to the audience's dismay, she leaves the prices alone...shut up, crowd, she wins!
TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Floor clock (Amber)
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Sharon ($5,427): 15 + 15 = $.30 (she was spinning the wheel skillfully)
Joyce ($8,899): Dime + 60 = $.70
Barac ($9,856): 40 + 55 = $.95
Barac's in the Showcase!
Leaving the CBS mob next is Laura Missora and the fourth IUFB is a portable boat (Phire; very awkward green screen action there).
Laura M.: $550
Nicole: $1,375
Laura R.: $1,201
David: $1,100
ARP: $1,599
Nicole Erdosy plays Super Squeeze Play for a T@B trailer (Gabrielle). Board:
145195
She removes the second 1 for a guess of $14,595...but she should've removed the first 5 instead (ARP: $14,195).
Christopher Mifflin from the Marines is called on down next and the next IUFB is a set of power tools (Gabrielle).
Christopher: $1,300
Laura R.: $751
David: $1,500
Laura M.: BUCK
ARP: $670
Laura Mazzora plays Pick a Pair for patio furniture (Amber & Phire) worth $8,586. Products today are Clorox bleach, a box of jellybeans, nail kit, StressEez, Gatorade and soup. She wins by picking both the drink and the soup at $1.29 apiece!
Getting called down last is Rachel Strauss and the final IUFB is an Ashley bed (Phire).
Rachel: $2,700
Christopher: $1,500
Laura: $1,701
David: $2,701
ARP: $2,099, so Laura Riggs escapes the First Four Breakfast Club!
This social worker now plays Money Game for a Ford Fusion (Std., AT, Prot, Mats)(Amber & Gabrielle). Board:
(21)(37)(95)
(70)(20)(19)
(55)(49)(63)
MIDDLE NUMBER: 6 ($ _ _ , 6 _ _)
She gets 21 right away as the first two numbers ($ 2 1 , 6 _ _). She then chooses 49...first Money Game EXACTA of the season right there ($21,649)! Too bad Drew was rushing through this game to kill a bit of the excitement.

At the first break, Barnes has $2,200, the champ's still at $1,800 and Jackson's still at $1,200. Let's see how the scores change after this round:

"The Amazing Race" 11/23
Last time, Nick & Starr Spangler did something no other team in the history of this show has done before in one season- win four straight stages. Now, a victory tonight not only will give them their five straight win, but it would also tie the all-time single season wins record of 6 previously set by Colin & Christie back in Season 5. Will they get another record, much less stay alive in the race? Let's find out right now.
OPENING CLUE: Teams must fly about 2,000 miles to Moscow. Once there, they must take a taxi to the Monastery, where they must go inside its church and light a candle to receive Clue #2.
The Greenes (Ken & Tina) and Andrew & Dan both get lost while in their taxi.
CLUE #2: Teams must now take a taxi to Kolosok Camp, where the third clue can be found on its grounds.
Toni & Dallas have a slight lead at this point. Nick & Starr, however, get lost in their taxi.
DETOUR: Boots or Borscht? Either way, all teams must put on a military outfit.
Boots: Teams must learn a traditional military parade march. Once they think they're ready, they will follow the troop in line and march a full lap of the parade grounds. If they're good enough, they'll receive their next clue.
Borscht: Teams must go to a mess tent and serve bowls of Borscht to 75 Russian soldiers.
All teams chose to march except for Andrew & Dan. Toni & Dallas keep their lead after the Detour. Andrew & Dan changed their minds about which Detour task to try several times before finally settling on serving Borscht. Their indecisiveness has now dropped them to last place.
CLUE #4: Teams must find the Zhukovsky Bakery, where the next clue can be found just outside its door (s).
ROADBLOCK: One member of each team must unload 50 55-pound bags of flour from a big truck and lay each one down horizontally on the bakery's floor.
The ones doing this are Dallas, Ken, Nick & Dan.
PIT STOP: Teams must travel to the Neskuchny Sad Park. For one team, it might turn out to be a very sad eliminating experience.
It looks like Nick & Starr's winning streak is about to come to a screeching halt. Do they pull off a miracle?...
...NOPE. Toni & Dallas win their very first prize, a trip to the Dominican Republic.
2ND: Ken & Tina
Finishing third...
...Nick & Starr! That means Andrew & Dan...
...will have to complete a Speed Bump task next week, because this is the season's other non-elimination stage.

Don't Forget the Lyrics!: As you know, we have a special contestant with us tonight- Anne Jensen from Mission Viejo, CA was born with unilateral Microtia and she wants to win a ton of money so she can get her long overdue surgery. Her target tonight is $100,000, but she would love to win a lot more than that. Possibly helping her tonight are her boyfriend Adam and her brother Mike. Here are the categories:
INSPIRATIONAL SONGS
ROCK
DISCO
HALL & OATES
SOUTHERN ROCK
R & B
POP
1960s
PARTY SONGS
Her opening category is Pop. The first pair of song choices are "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel and "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. Her pick is "The Longest Time" and her first target consists of five words:
(Note: Starting with this episode, the lyrics that appear on the gameboard are in a different text.)
"That hasn't ______ __ __ _____ ___"
She's right with "...happened for the longest time". Category #2 for her is Southern Rock; choices now are "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. She tries "The Devil Went Down the Georgia" and she only needs to fill in three blanks this time:
"But if you lose the Devil ____ ___ ___"
Originally, she sings "...takes your soul", but she changes the first word to "...gets your soul". To make sure, she uses her two words backup on the first and third missing words, which are already correct. She then locks in "...gets your soul" for $5,000.
Her third topic is Inspirational Songs. "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle returns, along with "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross. She chooses "I'm Coming Out" and again must fill in three:
"I want the world to know, got to __ __ ___"
She's right with "...let it show". To reach the safe haven, her fourth category is Rock. This time, the choices are "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" by the Georgia Satellites and "Touch Me" by The Doors. She chooses "Touch Me" and already is dealt an eight-word deficit. They follow after "I'm gonna love you 'til the stars". Her response is "...fall from the sky for you and I" and she locks that in...that's $25,000; she's two correct responses away from her goal.
Fifth, she will try either "She's Gone" or "Out of Touch" by Hall & Oates. Her selection is "Out of Touch" and she must fill in six blanks this time:
"But I'm out of __ ___ ___ ___ __ _____"
She locks in "...my head when you're not around"...and is now one step away from the magic number!
Topic #6 for this lady is the 1960s. Two songs from that decade are "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys and "Shop Around" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Her choice is "Shop Around" and she's got ten words that she needs to come up with. They follow after "For her hand now". She sings "My mama told me you better shop around", but that's not enough words. She then calls on her boyfriend for assistance, and her new guess turns out to be "My mama told me son, boy, you better shop around". But she's still unsure, so she goes for the multiple choice:
A: "You stay single for as long as you can now"
B: "Keep your freedom for as long as you can now"
C: "Don't get married for as long as you can now"
Let's not have somebody blow it on a multiple choice like last week. She locks in B...she's reached her $100,000 target! Also, no matter what happens the rest of the game, she's already won a pair of diamond earrings.
But she could double that if she knows one of these two Party Songs- "Super Freak" by the late Rick James and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer. She selects "Super Freak" and again must fill in ten. They follow after "She says that I'm her all-time favorite when I". She then lets out of her mouth "...make my move to her room, it's the right time" and goes for it...
"...make my move to her room, it's the right time"
...she's now won twice her goal!
R & B is her category worth $350,000. The choices this time are "I Can't Get Next To You" by The Temptations and "We're In This Love Together" by Al Jarreau. She decides on "I Can't Get Next To You" and she must fill in nine words this time. The words she needs to follow up are from the end line of the chorus, "I can't get next to you". She does nothing but repeat the same line with an added "Babe", so she decides to quit at $200,000, which should buy her more things in addition to her surgery! Correct: "I can fly like a bird in the sky".
(Note: A day before this episode aired, her apperance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" spoiled the outcome of the episode!)

Brad solves PICNIC TABLE for $2,000. After a $6,000 trip to Lake Tahoe is made available, the Round 1 category is Show Biz; it's also tonight's Prize Puzzle. Brad immediately picks up the trip with three T's. After he later buys the O's and the I's, we have...
_ I R A T E _/O _/THE/_ A R I _ _ E A N/
_ O _ I E/T R I _ O _ _
...all the vowels are gone. He then calls an L for a $1,000 gift tag from Hilo Hattier and solves PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN MOVIE TRILOGY for another $2,400, the gift tag, the Lake Tahoe trip and a trip to the Caribbean, for a new total of $18,228 in cash and prizes.

Tiffany solves INVESTMENT BANKER to go to $11,850. Speed-Up Round category is On the Map and consonants are worth $1,500 apiece. After Brad calls the R...
T H _/_ _ _ T _ _ _ _ T/_ _/
_ _ _ T R _ _ _ _
...no guess. Tiffany calls the L but can't solve for $7,500 more. Ginger calls the N's but can't solve to get off the zero mark. Brad calls the S and solves THE CONTINENT OF AUSTRALIA to seal the match victory at $24,728! Tifffany leaves with $11,850 and Ginger gets the $1,000 consolation.
So far, $37,578 in cash and stuff has been given away tonight.
Big Money Round: Brad spins the N in SPIN and the category is Phrase. Starting with:
_ _/T _ E/_ _ _
I think I know already. He calls B, G, C and I and gets...
B _/T _ E/_ _ _
...BY THE WAY, I was right all along but he can't get the last word, so he's the second player to lose the Beamer. The Y's would've won him the convertible.

Don't Forget the Lyrics!: As you know, we have a special contestant with us tonight- Anne Jensen from Mission Viejo, CA was born with unilateral Microtia and she wants to win a ton of money so she can get her long overdue surgery. Her target tonight is $100,000, but she would love to win a lot more than that. Possibly helping her tonight are her boyfriend Adam and her brother Mike. Here are the categories:
INSPIRATIONAL SONGS
ROCK
DISCO
HALL & OATES
SOUTHERN ROCK
R & B
POP
1960s
PARTY SONGS
Her opening category is Pop. The first pair of song choices are "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel and "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. Her pick is "The Longest Time" and her first target consists of five words:
(Note: Starting with this episode, the lyrics that appear on the gameboard are in a different text.)
"That hasn't ______ __ __ _____ ___"
She's right with "...happened for the longest time". Category #2 for her is Southern Rock; choices now are "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. She tries "The Devil Went Down the Georgia" and she only needs to fill in three blanks this time:
"But if you lose the Devil ____ ___ ___"
Originally, she sings "...takes your soul", but she changes the first word to "...gets your soul". To make sure, she uses her two words backup on the first and third missing words, which are already correct. She then locks in "...gets your soul" for $5,000.
Her third topic is Inspirational Songs. "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle returns, along with "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross. She chooses "I'm Coming Out" and again must fill in three:
"I want the world to know, got to __ __ ___"
She's right with "...let it show". To reach the safe haven, her fourth category is Rock. This time, the choices are "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" by the Georgia Satellites and "Touch Me" by The Doors. She chooses "Touch Me" and already is dealt an eight-word deficit. They follow after "I'm gonna love you 'til the stars". Her response is "...fall from the sky for you and I" and she locks that in...that's $25,000; she's two correct responses away from her goal.
Fifth, she will try either "She's Gone" or "Out of Touch" by Hall & Oates. Her selection is "Out of Touch" and she must fill in six blanks this time:
"But I'm out of __ ___ ___ ___ __ _____"
She locks in "...my head when you're not around"...and is now one step away from the magic number!
Topic #6 for this lady is the 1960s. Two songs from that decade are "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys and "Shop Around" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Her choice is "Shop Around" and she's got ten words that she needs to come up with. They follow after "For her hand now". She sings "My mama told me you better shop around", but that's not enough words. She then calls on her boyfriend for assistance, and her new guess turns out to be "My mama told me son, boy, you better shop around". But she's still unsure, so she goes for the multiple choice:
A: "You stay single for as long as you can now"
B: "Keep your freedom for as long as you can now"
C: "Don't get married for as long as you can now"
Let's not have somebody blow it on a multiple choice like last week. She locks in B...she's reached her $100,000 target! Also, no matter what happens the rest of the game, she's already won a pair of diamond earrings.
But she could double that if she knows one of these two Party Songs- "Super Freak" by the late Rick James and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer. She selects "Super Freak" and again must fill in ten. They follow after "She says that I'm her all-time favorite when I". She then lets out of her mouth "...make my move to her room, it's the right time" and goes for it...
"...make my move to her room, it's the right time"
...she's now won twice her goal!
R & B is her category worth $350,000. The choices this time are "I Can't Get Next To You" by The Temptations and "We're In This Love Together" by Al Jarreau. She decides on "I Can't Get Next To You" and she must fill in nine words this time. The words she needs to follow up are from the end line of the chorus, "I can't get next to you". She does nothing but repeat the same line with an added "Babe", so she decides to quit at $200,000, which should buy her more things in addition to her surgery! Correct: "I can fly like a bird in the sky".
(Note: A day before this episode aired, her apperance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" spoiled the outcome of the episode!)
Video Bonus: Great ending to "Millionaire's Family Week"

"Survivor: Gabon" 11/20
Just for the record, the merged tribe's name is Nobag (which is Gabon in reverse).
The first Tree Mail of the night reads like this:
"Going, going, gone. He who hesitates is lost. Nourishment and power, everything has its cost."
SURVIVOR AUCTION: Everybody is given $500, with each bid made being in increments of $20. No pooling of money or sharing of food is allowed during this time.
1. Beer and peanuts- SOLD TO RANDY FOR $180 ($320 left)
2. Covered item- SOLD TO KEN FOR $340 ($160 left)
MYSTERY ITEM'S IDENTITY: The right to send himself or somebody else to Exile Island. If he sends somebody else to Exile Island (like Sugar), he gets to take whatever bidding money they had up to that point.
DECISION: SENDS BOB TO EXILE ISLAND AGAIN; KEN NOW HAS $660
3. Covered item #2- SOLD TO SUGAR FOR $340 ($160 left)
MYSTERY ITEM'S IDENTITY: A bowl of chocolate and peanut butter
4. Hot bath and clean clothes- SOLD TO SUSIE FOR $340 ($160 left)

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: This is divided into two stages. Before we begin, the advantage in Corrine's bottle says that she just earned a bye into the challenge's second stage. The remaining seven contestants have to take a bag of puzzle pieces and race across a balance beam. They must go back and forth until they've brought all three bags of puzzle pieces. The first two to finish face Corrine in the second stage. For the second stage, the final three must stack the puzzle pieces in a particular way so that they will fall like a typical domino pattern, allowing a ball to go down the ramp's very end and raise a flag. The first one to do all of this wins immunity.
STAGE 1 WINNERS: Ken & Matty
This week's immunity winner is...
...Ken Hoang!
TRIBAL COUNCIL: Randy Bailey turns in a possible hidden Immunity Idol. I will tell you right now that he got the most votes tonight by a tally of 5-3 over Susie Smith. Therefore, if it's indeed a valid Immunity Idol, he's still in the game. If it's not, he's eliminated and going to the jury. The idol Randy turned in is a...
...DUD- GAME OVER FOR RANDY. Sugar just claimed another victim.

"Cash Cab" airs on this channel, DISCOVERY CHANNEL, and Paul solves it for $2,000.
Round 1 category is In the Kitchen and out on the wheel now is a $5,000 Royal Hawaiian Center Shopping Spree. Paul calls an N about midway in the round to pick that prize up. A little later, he call a pair of M's for a $1,000 gift tag that resmbles a submarine/helicopter tour. At that point, we have...
C O M _ A C T
_ _ _ R _ _ _ O
M A C _ _ N _
...but he then hits the left Bankrupt of the Million Dollar Wedge to lose both prizes and $3,250. Rachelle calls the P's for $600, buys the E's and the I, then calls the S's for another $1,650 and solves COMPACT ESPRESSO MACHINE for $1,750.

WHISTLE/A/H A _ _ _/
TUNE-U _

T _ E/FRENCH/_ L P S

...no guess. Paul calls the R's but blanks out with $6,400 on the line. Rachelle calls the P but can't solve for $4,800. Francis calls the B and solves PAN-SEARED CRAB CAKES to finish with $8,800. Rachelle has $2,750 and Paul hangs on to win with $9,900.
Big Money Round: Paul spins the S in AMERICA'S and the category is Person. Starting with:
_ L _ _ _ E R
He tries CDMA...but none of that works. He then tries PLUMBER but the M's already dead. It's the name of the company I'm doing this blog on- BLOGGER. That means he loses $30,000 and is now the lowest-winning champion of the season. The G's would've done it.

"America's Next Top Model"- CYCLE 11 FINALE
OPENING CHALLENGE: Shoot a commercial/print ad for CoverGirl. The ultimate winner's ad will be posted in several spots of Time Square, as well as many Wal-Marts. Whitney Thompson, last season's winner, stops by once again.
1. Samantha: Her commercial lacked energy.
2. McKey: She was OK, but she was jittery.
3. Analeigh: She got off to a rocky start thanks to a lot of dead air caused by Analeigh not seeing the camera light. The lack of her bubbly personality caused Jay to teach her the commercial part by part.
Needless to say, Analeigh was eliminated afterwards, making McKey & Sam your bottom two for the season!
RUNWAY SHOW: The runways inside the building this time around are similar to the ones you might find in the Willy Wonka or Dr. Seuss books.
The show officially starts with a big balloon being popped by J. Alexander before the first segment began. Then came Whitney, McKey, fourth season "Holland's Next Top Model" winner Ananda, and finally Sam.
Sam made a possibly fatal error by waiting until the last minute or so to dress up for the next segment. And during the second segment, I thought Sam made a questionable move by holding on to her skirt while she was walking down the runway.
For the third and final segment, all the models clapped while on the runway.
America, your 11th new "Top Model" is...
McKey
Samantha
...from Lake Forrest, IL, McKey Sullivan!!! She bearhugged Tyra at the end!

"The Ultimate Fighter" 11/19
While he was training, George Roop injured one of his hands, putting his spot in the last lightweight quarterfinal fight in jeopardy.
The final decision on him...
...he will continue.
LAST LIGHTWEIGHT QUARTERFINAL: George Roop vs. John Polakowski
Referee: Steve Mazzagatti
Round 1: After some mutual respect at the beginning, Roop gets off to a solid start. Near the end of the first 90 seconds, Roop scores a takedown. A little later, Polakowski attempts a triangle choke on Roop against the cage, but comes up empty. Just into the beginning of the last two minutes, Roop's on Polakowski and he's trying to lock in a rear-naked choke...he gets it, but can't make Polakowski tap out. I definitely give this round 10-9 in favor of Roop.
Round 2: Polakowski's ahead after the first minute. By the end of the second minute, Roop takes down Polakowski. Later, with 1:45 to go, Roop tries again with the rear-naked choke...he never gets the submission win, but he wins by unanimous decision anyway.
After we more of Junie Browning's crazy antics around the house, here are the semi-final fights for both divisions:
LIGHTWEIGHTS:
Phillipe Nover vs. George Roop
Krzysztof Sosynski vs. Vinny Magalhaes
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS:
Ryan Bader vs. Eliot Marshall
Junie Browning vs. Efrain Escudero
The final decision on him...
...he will continue.

Kelley: $579
April: $800
John: $1,150
Andrea: $1,175
ARP: $1,154
Since he was off by just $4, John Kinnally, a restaurant manager from Boston, will try to turn that $4 into over $10,000 in cash and prizes playing 1/2 Off. The SPs here this time are modeled by Rachael & Stephanie.
1.
Photo CD Recorder: $100

Web cam: $10
PICK: Web cam- $20 ($500)

Left for $10,000: #7, #9, #14 & #16. He stays away from lucky seven and goes with twice that number, #14. After it's brought down by Stephanie...he now has $11,000 amongst the other prizes!
Yvonne comes on down fifth and the second IUFB is an XBOX 360 package (Stephanie).
Yvonne: $775
Andrea: $850
Kelley: $795
April: $1,050
ARP: $940
Andrea Jacobin plays Let Em' Roll for a Pontiac Vibe (Tamiko). Now, the dice have been redesigned, with red lines surrounding each side; they're now said to be made of styrofoam. The colors on the dice are the same, but the text for the cash amounts have been changed to the ones you usually see in games like Hole in One and More or Less. The products Rachael models today are trash bags, Bayer and cold remedy. The bags are $8.79. She says the Bayer is lower in price...$6. She then says the remedy is higher than that...$11.99, so all three rolls are hers. Those were some tough grocery items in this game today.
1. 2 CARS/$500/$500/$1,000- CONTINUES
2. CAR/$500/$1,500- CONTINUES
3. WINS $2,500 ($1,000/$1,500)
Frederick goes into the green spot next and the third IUFB is a dinette (Tamiko).

Kelley: $1,700
April: $3,000
Yvonne: $2,000
ARP: $2,879
Yvonne Ryba, a preschool teacher from Cyprus, CA, plays Pick a Number for a spa (Stephanie). Board:
$ 7 _ 1 3
NUMBERS CONTROLLED BY RACHAEL: 2, 5 & 9
Does she know it's $7,213...no. She went with $7,513 instead.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Yvonne ($2,879): $.70
Andrea ($3,440): 40 + 50 = $.90
John ($12,453): 40 + Nickel = $.45
Andrea goes to the Showcase.
Coming on down next is Crystal Lathrop and the fourth IUFB is a selection of snow sleds (Rachael).

Kelley: $550
April: $1,400
ARP: $580
Kelley Foust from Roanoke, VA plays Easy as 1-2-3 for a lawn mower (Stephanie), a glove chair (Tamiko) and a pair of refrigerators (Rachael).

Crystal: $750
Frederick: $450
Christopher: $751
ARP: $1,066
Christopher plays One Away for a 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser (Std., Paint, AT, Prot, EBH, Mats)(Rachael). Board:
$ 2 8 , 7 3 5
His first guess:
$ 1 9 , 6 2 6
Only one number wrong. He changes the 2, which definitely will not work. ARP: $19,624. He came so close to an EXACTA, but he ends up getting nothing.
(Note: I hope these changes in this playing aren't permanent: For the last four digits, the model, which in this case was Tamiko, turns the trilons instead of the host. Also, Drew simply asks the sound effects lady for each car honk like Tom Kennedy did on the mid-1980s syndicated version.)
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Christopher ($1,066): $.75
April ($5,897): WINS $1,000!
Kelley ($6,003): 25 + 80 = OVER
In April's Bonus Spin...just three quarters.

Now, for this very special thing in the second Showcase. We start with a movie camera (Stephanie). Then, to edit the movies you shoot from that, here's a laptop computer system (Rachael). And now, for the biggie- Ashley Jones from "The Bold & the Beautiful" stops by to tell her if she wins this Showcase, she'll win a walk-on role for that particular soap opera!

"M" TV
To help somewhat promote tonight's "America's Next Top Model" season finale, Jay Manuel's the correct response to the $2,000 "M" TV clue, but it proves to be a Triple Stumper. Marx then finds the first Daily Double under the $1,200 T-R-L clue with $10,200, leading Kashyap by three large. Takhar has $4,800. Her wager this time is $2,200.
It's the lateral lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, in front of the occipital lobe.
She draws a blank, so she only has an $800 lead now with $8,000. It was the temperal. With The Hills, Made and A Shot At Love left, she only leads Kashyap by $400 now, $9,600 to $9,200. Kashyap chooses the $400 Made clue:

Is she the fourth contestant to pass up $500,000?...
...YES. But at least that bad deal wasn't the player's fault unlike the last time; she had nothing to work with late in the game.
Had she gone on one more time with An's #15, the dollar would've been gone and the final offer would've been $198,000.
We start Episode 4552K with Andrea, John, April and Kelley. Drew comes out in a go kart with Tamiko (which I think is the same one won in Coming or Going yesterday) and the first IUFB is a selection of purses (All- Tamiko, Rachael & Stephanie).
Kelley: $579
April: $800
John: $1,150
Andrea: $1,175
ARP: $1,154
Since he was off by just $4, John Kinnally, a restaurant manager from Boston, will try to turn that $4 into over $10,000 in cash and prizes playing 1/2 Off. The SPs here this time are modeled by Rachael & Stephanie.
1.
Photo CD Recorder: $100
Wireless router: $49
PICK: Wireless router- NO
2.
Ice cream maker: $29
Web cam: $10
PICK: Web cam- $20 ($500)
3.
Telephone speaker kit: $130
Electronic poker game: $60
PICK: Game- $120 ($1,000)
Left for $10,000: #7, #9, #14 & #16. He stays away from lucky seven and goes with twice that number, #14. After it's brought down by Stephanie...he now has $11,000 amongst the other prizes!
Yvonne comes on down fifth and the second IUFB is an XBOX 360 package (Stephanie).
Yvonne: $775
Andrea: $850
Kelley: $795
April: $1,050
ARP: $940
Andrea Jacobin plays Let Em' Roll for a Pontiac Vibe (Tamiko). Now, the dice have been redesigned, with red lines surrounding each side; they're now said to be made of styrofoam. The colors on the dice are the same, but the text for the cash amounts have been changed to the ones you usually see in games like Hole in One and More or Less. The products Rachael models today are trash bags, Bayer and cold remedy. The bags are $8.79. She says the Bayer is lower in price...$6. She then says the remedy is higher than that...$11.99, so all three rolls are hers. Those were some tough grocery items in this game today.
1. 2 CARS/$500/$500/$1,000- CONTINUES
2. CAR/$500/$1,500- CONTINUES
3. WINS $2,500 ($1,000/$1,500)
Frederick goes into the green spot next and the third IUFB is a dinette (Tamiko).
Frederick: $3,500
Kelley: $1,700
April: $3,000
Yvonne: $2,000
ARP: $2,879
Yvonne Ryba, a preschool teacher from Cyprus, CA, plays Pick a Number for a spa (Stephanie). Board:
$ 7 _ 1 3
NUMBERS CONTROLLED BY RACHAEL: 2, 5 & 9
Does she know it's $7,213...no. She went with $7,513 instead.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Yvonne ($2,879): $.70
Andrea ($3,440): 40 + 50 = $.90
John ($12,453): 40 + Nickel = $.45
Andrea goes to the Showcase.
Coming on down next is Crystal Lathrop and the fourth IUFB is a selection of snow sleds (Rachael).
Crystal: $777
Frederick: $850
Kelley: $550
April: $1,400
ARP: $580
Kelley Foust from Roanoke, VA plays Easy as 1-2-3 for a lawn mower (Stephanie), a glove chair (Tamiko) and a pair of refrigerators (Rachael).
1- Chair
2- Lawn mower
3- Refrigerators
Prices:
Chair: $975
Lawn mower: $1,450

Crystal: $900
Frederick: $800
ARP: $699
April Guillemette, the last of today's First Four, plays Double Prices for a pair of motorcycles (Rachael & Stephanie). They're either $5,198 or $6,399. Rachael handles the prices here. Does she know they're $5,198...yes!
Leaving the crowd last is Stefan Carpenter and the final IUFB is deluxe binoculars being brought by Stephanie.
Stefan: $675
Crystal: $750
Frederick: $450
Christopher: $751
ARP: $1,066
Christopher plays One Away for a 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser (Std., Paint, AT, Prot, EBH, Mats)(Rachael). Board:
$ 2 8 , 7 3 5
His first guess:
$ 1 9 , 6 2 6
Only one number wrong. He changes the 2, which definitely will not work. ARP: $19,624. He came so close to an EXACTA, but he ends up getting nothing.
(Note: I hope these changes in this playing aren't permanent: For the last four digits, the model, which in this case was Tamiko, turns the trilons instead of the host. Also, Drew simply asks the sound effects lady for each car honk like Tom Kennedy did on the mid-1980s syndicated version.)
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Christopher ($1,066): $.75
April ($5,897): WINS $1,000!
Kelley ($6,003): 25 + 80 = OVER
In April's Bonus Spin...just three quarters.
The first Showcase has a Broyhill living room (Tamiko), maid service, a piano and a TV (Rachael). I smell Fireball Special Showcase Alert here.
APRIL PASSES TO ANDREA; ANDREA BIDS $17,000 ON FURNITURE SHOWCASE
MY BID FOR FURNITURE SHOWCASE: $15,250
Now, for this very special thing in the second Showcase. We start with a movie camera (Stephanie). Then, to edit the movies you shoot from that, here's a laptop computer system (Rachael). And now, for the biggie- Ashley Jones from "The Bold & the Beautiful" stops by to tell her if she wins this Showcase, she'll win a walk-on role for that particular soap opera! The last real prize in this Showcase, BTW, is a trip to South Africa (Stephanie).

LET'S HAVE ORDER (three things are listed in each clue and the players have to put them all in chronological order)
AMERICAN NOVELISTS
PIONEER LIFE
RHYME SQUAD (each correct response rhymes with the word "squad")
After the first Triple Stumper of the night about this year's host of the Teen Choice Awards on the $200 clue (Miley Cyrus; I can't believe nobody got that), Marx finds the Daily Double under the $800 Let's Have Order clue and trails Takhar by $200, $2,800-$2,600. The man in the middle has $600. Her wager is $600. For a $400 lead:

"Who are Polk, Fillmore, Arthur?"...right for $3,200 and the lead heading into the first break! At the end of the round, she now has $5,800. Kashyap has $3,600 and Takhar has $2,000.

THE HILLS

A SHOT AT LOVE
"M" TV
To help somewhat promote tonight's "America's Next Top Model" season finale, Jay Manuel's the correct response to the $2,000 "M" TV clue, but it proves to be a Triple Stumper. Marx then finds the first Daily Double under the $1,200 T-R-L clue with $10,200, leading Kashyap by three large. Takhar has $4,800. Her wager this time is $2,200.
It's the lateral lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, in front of the occipital lobe.
She draws a blank, so she only has an $800 lead now with $8,000. It was the temperal. With The Hills, Made and A Shot At Love left, she only leads Kashyap by $400 now, $9,600 to $9,200. Kashyap chooses the $400 Made clue:
Annin & Co. makes these in materials like solar-max nylon and cotton/polyester; Betsy Ross would be amazed.
Karan: "What are flags?"- CORRECT ($5,200); $400 THE HILLS CLUE
"90210" is set in this ritzy city, zip code 90210.

On July 21, 1944 she wrote, "I'm finally getting optimistic...an assassination attempt has been made on Hitler's life".
We start with Kashyap, who wrote down "Who is Anne Frank?"...right! He wagered the whole thing, so he now has $23,200! Marx's also right, but she just risked $9,500, so she's out of here with a final score of $22,300. Takhar wrote down "Who is Annie Frank?"...

Are Cody Linley & Julianne Hough finally eliminated? Or have Brooke Burke & Derek Hough been shot down by El Cheapo? The final answer is...
Brooke & Derek
Cody & Julianne
Lance & Lacey
Warren & Kym
...Brooke & Derek are in the championship round, while Cody & Julianne will just be doing exhibition dances on next week's season finale.

Amy: $999
Sandra: $1,500
Trenton: $1,501

When Trenton Brown first came on down, he did a cartwheel while in the aisle! And this Salt Lake City native will be doing a backflip if he wins a Ford Focus Coupe (Std., AT, ALB/Traction, SRadio, Mats)(Amber) in Money Game. Board:

He starts off with 18 for $18, then jumps to 95 for another $95 before getting 16 as the front of the car ($ 1 6 , 3 _ _). He then picks 45 to win the $16,345 car, $113 for gas, and the right to do a backflip!
(The result here was spoiled by the promo you guys saw at the start of last Friday night's military special.)

WOF: After two straight episodes with a team winning over $100,000 in cash and prizes, I don't have high hopes about tonight's episode; let's see what happens anyway. For our first Toss-Up puzzle, the category is Around the House:
_ _ _ I O
_ U _ N _ T _ _ E
Barbara & Mary are incorrect with STUDIO FURNITURE, while Clayton & Lloyd solve PATIO FURNITURE for $1,000.
$5,000 WINNING ID OF THE NIGHT: MH08956
Tonight's teams:
Clayton and Lloyd- Lloyd's a retired fire service worker and currently a pastor; Clayton's a P.E./Music high school teacher
Barbara Banura and Mary Anderson- Letter carriers
Dawn Palmerston and Mari Holstead- Mari's an elementary school counselor while Dawn's a school student services coordinator
(And for those of you like me who were wondering if the powers that be swapped tonight's and last night's episodes in order to start the $5,000 SPIN ID sweepstakes with a bang, you're wrong- after talking with Dawn & Mari, Pat mentioned last night's $100,000 win. So, you can put that rumor to bed.)
$2,000 Toss-Up category is Occupation:
E V E N _
_ _ A N _ _ R
Lloyd & Clayton solve EVENT PLANNER (Barbara & Mary inadvertantly blurted out the first word when it wasn't their turn) to triple their money.
After a pair of trips to Nice, France worth $15,400 go on the wheel, the Round 1 category is Before & After. A little later, Barbara & Mary call an R for a $1,000 Roy's gift certificate. After they then buy the E's, we have...
_ _ R _ E _ _ E
_ _ T
S T _ _
...they call the B's for the trips and solve BARBEQUE PIT STOP to win them plus the gift certificate and $350, a total of $16,750 in cash and prizes!
DUDS: N (while Lloyd & Clayton were on Free Spin)
Eggland's Best Jackpot/Prize Puzzle Round category is Fun & Games. Barbara & Mary miss out on the Free Spin at the beginning by calling a dud in S. Dawn & Mari then pick up the Wild Card with a T call. After they buy the E's, we have...
_ N T E/_ _/&/
_ _ _ _ _ E/_ _ _ N
...they call the L to pick up the Free Spin this time plus earn another $300. But they have to use it immediately after they next call a dud in H. After they buy the I, they end up buying the only dud vowel on the board (I). Lloyd & Clayton call a $700 P but then miss with M. Barbara & Mary then give an incorrect response with ANTE UP & BUCKLE DOWN (their second one tonight). Dawn & Mari then call the D's for another $600, buy the U's and solve ANTE UP & DOUBLE DOWN for $900 and a pair of trips to Vegas, a total of $13,600 in cash and trips.
DUDS: H, I, M, S

...they call three N's for another $1,500 but then spin Lose a Turn. Lloyd & Clayton call a $450 V then call a B for the Million Dollar Wedge, a $900 W, and then buy three A's to clean out the vowels. They then solve MR. FANTASTIC & THE INVISIBLE WOMAN for another $2,000 and $5,000 total; they also have possession of the Million Dollar Wedge.

They call M, C, G and A and get...
_ _ A _ _

...I might be somewhat familiar with a KHAKI UNIFORM, but they aren't, so they don't win another $30,000. Without those K's up top, they didn't have a prayer.
Jeopardy!: The second teen semi-final group consists of Jay Schrader, Shelby Malone and Bradley Silverman. The first six categories:
MSAs
IN TOON
THE MAGNA CARTA
I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK
VIDEO GAMING
COMMON BONDS
At the first break, Silverman's on a hot start with $5,600. Malone has $400 and Schrader finds himself $400 in the hole. Shortly after Schrader gets out of the hole, he finds the Daily Double under the $1,000 MSAs clue with $1,000 at this point. He'll try to double on this:
These same-named midwest cities in two neighboring states combine into one metro area with nearly two million people.
"What is Springfield?"...sorry, he's back to zero. It was Kansas City. At the round's conclusion, Silverman now has $6,000. But his lead's dwindled considerably since the first break, as Malone's jumped up to $3,800. Schrader's back at $1,000 by round's end.
ROUND 1 LACH TRASH: $3,000
ASK ALEX #4: What's the funniest thing that's ever happened during a taping? During a dress rehearsal for the Ultimate Tournament of Champions Finals, Alex walks into the studio with no trousers!!! You can find this hilarious moment as an easter egg on your "Jeopardy!" DVD.
DJ! Categories:
YOU'RE HISTORY
THE WORLD OF SPORTS
INFESTED WITH INSECTS
IT HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR
CLASSICAL MUSIC
VWLLSS FRT (aka Vowelless Fruit)
Silverman finds the first Daily Double under the $1,600 You're History clue. Right now, he has $6,400, while Malone has $2,600 and Schrader has $1,000; he's back in lock game territory, but not quite as much as he was early on tonight. His wager is $2,000.
At age 70, this Athenian was put on trial for "not believing in the gods the state believes in".
"Who is Aristotle?"...incorrect, so he's out of lock game territory again. It was Socrates, dropping him to $4,400. A little later, Schrader apparently is hunting for the other Daily Double, but it's Malone who finds it under the $1,600 The World of Sports clue (when Schrader first went Daily Double Hunting, he chose the $2,000 clue instead) with $4,600, trailing Silverman for the lead by just $200. Schrader has $3,400. Her wager is $1,000. For an $800 lead:
Originating in Persia, this sport gained popularity with British officers in India who liked horsing around.
"What is polo?"...correct for $5,600 and the lead!
DJ! LACH TRASH: $3,200

FJ! CATEGORY: Literary Characters.
In a 1914 novel, as a boy he could "drop twenty feet at a stretch from limb to limb in rapid descent to the ground".
We start with Ms. Malone, whose response was "Who is Tarzan?", after she originally had "Who is Mowgli?"...good move; Tarzan is right! She risked everything but $2, so she now has $19,998. Schrader...is right and doubles to $22,800! As for Silverman...
...he's right also to win the second finals berth by $1!

Jeopardy!: The second teen semi-final group consists of Jay Schrader, Shelby Malone and Bradley Silverman. The first six categories:
MSAs

I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK
VIDEO GAMING
COMMON BONDS
At the first break, Silverman's on a hot start with $5,600. Malone has $400 and Schrader finds himself $400 in the hole. Shortly after Schrader gets out of the hole, he finds the Daily Double under the $1,000 MSAs clue with $1,000 at this point. He'll try to double on this:
These same-named midwest cities in two neighboring states combine into one metro area with nearly two million people.
"What is Springfield?"...sorry, he's back to zero. It was Kansas City. At the round's conclusion, Silverman now has $6,000. But his lead's dwindled considerably since the first break, as Malone's jumped up to $3,800. Schrader's back at $1,000 by round's end.
ROUND 1 LACH TRASH: $3,000
ASK ALEX #4: What's the funniest thing that's ever happened during a taping? During a dress rehearsal for the Ultimate Tournament of Champions Finals, Alex walks into the studio with no trousers!!! You can find this hilarious moment as an easter egg on your "Jeopardy!" DVD.

Silverman finds the first Daily Double under the $1,600 You're History clue. Right now, he has $6,400, while Malone has $2,600 and Schrader has $1,000; he's back in lock game territory, but not quite as much as he was early on tonight. His wager is $2,000.
At age 70, this Athenian was put on trial for "not believing in the gods the state believes in".
"Who is Aristotle?"...incorrect, so he's out of lock game territory again. It was Socrates, dropping him to $4,400. A little later, Schrader apparently is hunting for the other Daily Double, but it's Malone who finds it under the $1,600 The World of Sports clue (when Schrader first went Daily Double Hunting, he chose the $2,000 clue instead) with $4,600, trailing Silverman for the lead by just $200. Schrader has $3,400. Her wager is $1,000. For an $800 lead:
Originating in Persia, this sport gained popularity with British officers in India who liked horsing around.
"What is polo?"...correct for $5,600 and the lead!

In a 1914 novel, as a boy he could "drop twenty feet at a stretch from limb to limb in rapid descent to the ground".
We start with Ms. Malone, whose response was "Who is Tarzan?", after she originally had "Who is Mowgli?"...good move; Tarzan is right! She risked everything but $2, so she now has $19,998. Schrader...is right and doubles to $22,800! As for Silverman...
...he's right also to win the second finals berth by $1!
Bingo America: Episode 2053 brings us Yvette and Barry. Score at halftime of Game 1:
YVETTE: B-NGO
BARRY: NOTHING

The third question of the episode was tonight's Wild Card Question, but it was a Stumper.

N: #44- $2,500 ($6,000)
G: #52 (her favorite number)- $2,000 ($8,000)
O: #75- DISASTER
That's the biggest bonus round loss so far this season. And I thought the board had been cheapened up in the later tapings.

"Dancing with the Stars"- SEMI-FINAL PERFORMANCES
First up in tonight's lineup are the favorite team of Brooke Burke & Derek Hough. They're dancing the Jive first. Unfortunately for them, they only manage three 7's.
Second are Cody Linley and the returning Julianne Hough! Their opener is the Paso Doble.
CARRIE ANN: 8
LEN: 7
BRUNO: 7
TOTAL: 22
They couldn't totally capitalize on Brooke & Derek's mediocre first performance tonight.
Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson go third with their first dance being the Mambo. They pick up three 8s thanks to being a bit flat-footed in their performance.
Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer are last in line tonight. For their first dance, they too take on the Tango. Carrie Ann & Len both thought it was their best dance of the season thus far! What did they get:
CARRIE ANN: 10!
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
TOTAL: 28!
A pair of salsa champions then perform before the second dances get underway.
LATIN ROUND:
Brooke & Derek's next dance is Salsa.
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 10!
BRUNO: 9
TOTAL: 28
They really needed a great score on this dance, or else they would be really in trouble tomorrow night. They could still be eliminated there, though. Their final score tonight from the judges is 49.
Cody & Julianne next try the Salsa. They get three 8's for a total of 46. IMO, they're in the most danger of being eliminated tomorrow night.
The last two performances will both be Jitterbugs. For Warren & Kym's performance:
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
TOTAL: 25
That ties them up with Brooke & Derek for the lead tonight at 49. As for Lance & Lacey:
CARRIE ANN: 10!
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 10!
TOTAL: 29!
Lance & Lacey are all but set to go to the finals with a final leading score tonight of 57!

Sherley: $2,400
Christopher: $1,950
Jamie: $1,647
Celeste: $1,951
ARP: $2,673
I don't really like Sherley's chances of winning over $10,000 in cash and prizes playing 1/2 Off. BTW, she's a flight attendant from San Diego. The SPs today are modeled by Gabrielle & Phire.
1.
Double burner: $41
Weather radio: $59
PICK: Double burner- $82 ($500)
2.
MP3 holder: $15
Toiletry bag: $17
PICK: Toiletry bag- INCORRECT
3.
TPIR Wii game: $20
Cutting board: $25
PICK: Video game- $40 ($1,000)
Left for the $10,000: #3, #6, #9 & #16. She tells Gabrielle to bring down #3...no big money there. It was in #9.
Colette comes down fifth and the second IUFB is a picnic table (Gabrielle).
Colette: $995
Christopher: $695
Jamie: $547
Celeste: $700
ARP: $999
Colette plays Squeeze Play for a catameran (Gabrielle & Phire). Board:
47945
She has the second 4 removed like I would have, for a guess of $4,795...
$ 4 7 9 5
...but she should've removed the 9 instead, so we're both wrong.
Robert is next to enter the red spot of Contestant's Row and the third IUFB is a computer system (Phire).
Robert: $2,000
Christopher: $2,895
Jamie: $2,100
Celeste: $2,101
ARP: $2,638
Mama Mia- Celeste Ito, a San Pedro, CA native, is playing Hole in One or Two for a Ford Ranger (Std., AC)(Amber) worth $15,505. The groceries modeled by Gabrielle & Phire here today are Gold Bond Lotion, Ester-C, Clorox bleach, paper cups, a bag of cat food and creme pies. My lineup guess:
1. Creme pies
2. Paper cups
3. Bleach
4. Cat food
5. Lotion
6. Ester-C
Her lineup guess:
1. Creme pies
2. Paper cups
3. Bleach
4. Lotion
5. Ester-C
6. Cat food
The prices:
1. Creme pies- $1.39
2. Paper cups- $3.59
3. Bleach- $2.19
Originally, she had the cups and pies switched around, but the audience made her change her mind in order to move her up to the second line. Believe it or not, Rich's doing the Inspiration Putt today!!! His putt...off to the right. As for Celeste...right on the money for the truck! She was lying when she said she wasn't good at golf!
Video Bonus: Hole in One playing
TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Danby electric wine cooler
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Colette ($999): $.85
Sherley ($3,879): 15 + 35 = $.50
Celeste ($18,143): 35 + 20 = $.55
Colette goes to the Showcase.
Coming on down next is George Stadler and the fourth IUFB is a pool/hockey/soccer game table (Amber & Gabrielle).
George: $350
Robert: $500
Christopher: $650
Jamie: $700
ARP: $587
Robert Devore from 84, PA plays One Right Price for an executive desk (Phire) and an eliptical trainer (Amber). He tells Gabrielle to place the One Right Price of $1,599 on the trainer...right! The desk was $2,399.
Possibly helping out in continuing our winning streak next is Verna Wilbert and the fifth IUFB is an LCD TV (Amber; Drew's on the TV).
Verna: $1,495
Christopher: $1,295
Jamie: $1,395
George: $700
ARP: $1,300
Christopher from Altima, CA plays Dice Game for a 2009 Ford Fusion SE (Std., AT, Assist, Mats)(Phire). First number is 2. Unfortunately, it ends immediately when he rolls a 2 on the second number and says higher. ARP: $21,245. That's too bad that 2 popped up on his first roll, because look at the rest of his rolls:
Third number: 2- RIGHT
Fourth number: 6- NO; LOWER
Fifth number: 1- NO; HIGHER
Justin Bell comes on down last and the final IUFB is a bass guitar (Amber & Phire).
Justin: $650

SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Christopher ($1,300): $.75
Robert ($4,585): Quarter + 85 = OVER
George ($5,963): 15 + 40 = $.55
Since Christopher's got the Top Winner spot, he likely get a second shot of winning a car following his early bad luck in Dice Game.
The first Showcase has prizes we really might like- a Rowe jukebox (Amber), a video camera (Phire) and a Dodge Charger (Std., Paint, EBH)(Gabrielle). If that Charger had been in place of the Fusion that was offered in Dice Game, Christopher would've slam dunked a win there, because it's $22,645.
CHRISTOPHER BIDS $27,000 ON CAR SHOWCASE
MY BID FOR CAR SHOWCASE: $31,000
For Colette, we have a Broyhill dining room (Amber), skiing equipment (Gabrielle) and a trip to Austria (Phire).
COLETTE BIDS $15,500 ON ROOM/TRIP SHOWCASE

About midway in the round, Saunders finds the first Daily Double under the $800 World Capitals clue, and it appears his and Ben's fortunes have flip-flopped this round. That's because Brandon now has $9,200 while Ben's down to $1,000; Hosford still leads with $12,600. His wager is $3,400. To tie this game up:
Around 1050 Harald Hardrade founded this city on a fjord.
"What is Stockholm?"...NO. Correct: What is Oslo? He's down to $5,800. Later on, to close out Start Your Engines, he finds the other Daily Double with $7,800. Hosford now has $14,200 and Chuchla has $3,400. He decides this time to wager...five grand. This clue's going to most likely decide whether the lady has a lock game or not. Here it is:
Named for its inventor, this engine sprays fuel directly into the chamber, where it's ignited by high-temperature air.
"I don't know; what is a combustion engine?"...HE JUST BLEW ALL THREE DAILY DOUBLES TONIGHT. Darn. Correct response this time: What is a diesel engine?

Sherley: $2,400
Christopher: $1,950
Jamie: $1,647
Celeste: $1,951
ARP: $2,673
I don't really like Sherley's chances of winning over $10,000 in cash and prizes playing 1/2 Off. BTW, she's a flight attendant from San Diego. The SPs today are modeled by Gabrielle & Phire.
1.
Double burner: $41
Weather radio: $59
PICK: Double burner- $82 ($500)
2.

Left for the $10,000: #3, #6, #9 & #16. She tells Gabrielle to bring down #3...no big money there. It was in #9.
Colette comes down fifth and the second IUFB is a picnic table (Gabrielle).
Colette: $995
Christopher: $695
Jamie: $547
Celeste: $700
ARP: $999
Colette plays Squeeze Play for a catameran (Gabrielle & Phire). Board:
47945
She has the second 4 removed like I would have, for a guess of $4,795...
$ 4 7 9 5
...but she should've removed the 9 instead, so we're both wrong.
Robert is next to enter the red spot of Contestant's Row and the third IUFB is a computer system (Phire).
Robert: $2,000
Christopher: $2,895

Mama Mia- Celeste Ito, a San Pedro, CA native, is playing Hole in One or Two for a Ford Ranger (Std., AC)(Amber) worth $15,505. The groceries modeled by Gabrielle & Phire here today are Gold Bond Lotion, Ester-C, Clorox bleach, paper cups, a bag of cat food and creme pies. My lineup guess:
1. Creme pies
2. Paper cups
3. Bleach
4. Cat food
5. Lotion
6. Ester-C
Her lineup guess:
1. Creme pies
2. Paper cups
3. Bleach
4. Lotion
5. Ester-C
6. Cat food
The prices:
1. Creme pies- $1.39
2. Paper cups- $3.59
3. Bleach- $2.19
Originally, she had the cups and pies switched around, but the audience made her change her mind in order to move her up to the second line. Believe it or not, Rich's doing the Inspiration Putt today!!! His putt...off to the right. As for Celeste...right on the money for the truck! She was lying when she said she wasn't good at golf!

TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Danby electric wine cooler
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Colette ($999): $.85
Sherley ($3,879): 15 + 35 = $.50
Celeste ($18,143): 35 + 20 = $.55
Colette goes to the Showcase.

Robert: $500
Christopher: $650
Jamie: $700
ARP: $587
Robert Devore from 84, PA plays One Right Price for an executive desk (Phire) and an eliptical trainer (Amber). He tells Gabrielle to place the One Right Price of $1,599 on the trainer...right! The desk was $2,399.
Possibly helping out in continuing our winning streak next is Verna Wilbert and the fifth IUFB is an LCD TV (Amber; Drew's on the TV).
Verna: $1,495

Jamie: $1,395
George: $700
ARP: $1,300
Christopher from Altima, CA plays Dice Game for a 2009 Ford Fusion SE (Std., AT, Assist, Mats)(Phire). First number is 2. Unfortunately, it ends immediately when he rolls a 2 on the second number and says higher. ARP: $21,245. That's too bad that 2 popped up on his first roll, because look at the rest of his rolls:
Third number: 2- RIGHT
Fourth number: 6- NO; LOWER
Fifth number: 1- NO; HIGHER
Justin Bell comes on down last and the final IUFB is a bass guitar (Amber & Phire).
Justin: $650

SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Christopher ($1,300): $.75
Robert ($4,585): Quarter + 85 = OVER
George ($5,963): 15 + 40 = $.55
Since Christopher's got the Top Winner spot, he likely get a second shot of winning a car following his early bad luck in Dice Game.
The first Showcase has prizes we really might like- a Rowe jukebox (Amber), a video camera (Phire) and a Dodge Charger (Std., Paint, EBH)(Gabrielle). If that Charger had been in place of the Fusion that was offered in Dice Game, Christopher would've slam dunked a win there, because it's $22,645.

Saunders finds the Daily Double early on under the "F" clue worth $600...which he already has right now. He'll try to double that with this clue:
On July 3, 1754, Fort Necessity was surrendered in one of the first battles in this nine-year war.
"What is the French Revolution?"...no, back to zero he goes. The right battle was the French & Indian War. At the first break, Hosford leads with $3,400. Chuchla's just $800 behind her and Saunders is back at a grand. After the round...
Brandon: $2,400
Ben: $4,200
Audrey: $9,000

About midway in the round, Saunders finds the first Daily Double under the $800 World Capitals clue, and it appears his and Ben's fortunes have flip-flopped this round. That's because Brandon now has $9,200 while Ben's down to $1,000; Hosford still leads with $12,600. His wager is $3,400. To tie this game up:
Around 1050 Harald Hardrade founded this city on a fjord.

"The Amazing Race" 11/16
Will Nick & Starr make it five wins? Or will Ken & Tina join them in the season's four win club? Or will Terence & Sarah or one of the other two remaining teams finally get on the board? Let's find out right now.
OPENING CLUE: Teams must fly about 1,000 miles to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Once there, they must take a taxi to a chicken factory where the second clue awaits.
FLIGHT 1: Nick & Starr, Ken & Tina and Toni & Dallas
FLIGHT 2: Terence & Sarah
FLIGHT 3: Andrew & Dan
ROADBLOCK: One member from each team must search amongst numerous chickens for one of seven golden eggs, each of which can be redeemed for the third clue.
But wait, there's more...
FAST FORWARD: Ken & Tina are locked out of this. Here, teams trying this must go to a local restaurant and eat a feast mostly consisting of sheep fat.
At this point, only Nick & Starr and Terence & Sarah try the Fast Forward; Terence & Sarah need to win this more since they haven't won a thing yet, despite their good work so far this season. I felt Andrew & Dan made a possibly fatal mistake by not going for it.
CLUE #3: Teams must choose one of the factory's crane trucks and travel to the Koktobe Arch, located at the foothills of the Tienshan Mountains. Once there, they must followed the marked path to the Mongol Warriors; they must then wait for their next clue.
DETOUR: Play Like Mad or Act Like Fools?
Play Like Mad: Teams must travel to the Museum of Folk Instruments where they must learn to play a traditional Kazak tune using two instruments. Once they've done well enough inside, they must play that tune in a park for tips. Once they've earned $1.50 in tips, they'll get their next clue.
Act Like Fools: Teams must travel to a children's puppet theater and put on a two-person cow costume. Then, they must walk the streets with the costume on and then find a milk store, where they must then drink a glass of milk. Once done, they must then walk to Zelyoniv Bazar and go to its meat section, where they must turn in their cow costume to the store's butcher to get their next clue.
Back to the Fast Foward, here are the final results...
...Terence & Sarah decide to give up, meaning Nick & Starr win the season's other Fast Forward!
PIT STOP: Teams must run to the Old Square, where one team's journey may end here tonight.
Nick & Starr Spangler win for a FIFTH time this season!! They've now each won a pair of waverunners and are one victory shy of tying Colin & Christie's all-time record of six! Not only that, that's their fourth win in a row, A NEW ALL-TIME RECORD!!!
Ken & Tina and Toni & Dallas decide to try the cow costume task. Meanwhile, Terence & Sarah and Andrew & Dan are lost.
2ND: Toni & Dallas
3RD: Ken & Tina
Terence & Sarah and Andrew & Dan also go inside the cow costumes. Andrew & Dan get there first, but they take a taxi there instead, so they're asked to go back to the butcher shop and do the final traveling over again. The last team definitely moving on to the next episode is...
...Andrew & Dan. That means for Terence Gerchberg & Sarah Leshner...
...DISASTER HAS HIT THEM- THEY'RE ELIMINATED THANKS TO THEIR UNSUCCESSFUL FAST FORWARD ATTEMPT. That means despite all of their good teamwork, they're leaving with nothing. Too bad.
OPENING CLUE: Teams must fly about 1,000 miles to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Once there, they must take a taxi to a chicken factory where the second clue awaits.

...Terence & Sarah decide to give up, meaning Nick & Starr win the season's other Fast Forward!
PIT STOP: Teams must run to the Old Square, where one team's journey may end here tonight.
Nick & Starr Spangler win for a FIFTH time this season!! They've now each won a pair of waverunners and are one victory shy of tying Colin & Christie's all-time record of six! Not only that, that's their fourth win in a row, A NEW ALL-TIME RECORD!!!
Ken & Tina and Toni & Dallas decide to try the cow costume task. Meanwhile, Terence & Sarah and Andrew & Dan are lost.
2ND: Toni & Dallas
3RD: Ken & Tina
Terence & Sarah and Andrew & Dan also go inside the cow costumes. Andrew & Dan get there first, but they take a taxi there instead, so they're asked to go back to the butcher shop and do the final traveling over again. The last team definitely moving on to the next episode is...
...Andrew & Dan. That means for Terence Gerchberg & Sarah Leshner...
...DISASTER HAS HIT THEM- THEY'RE ELIMINATED THANKS TO THEIR UNSUCCESSFUL FAST FORWARD ATTEMPT. That means despite all of their good teamwork, they're leaving with nothing. Too bad.

RECAP: "Meow Mix Think Like a Cat Game Show"
The eight final teams:
Judi Basolo and Guido (S.F.)
Alma Coronado and Tabby (Dallas)
Hartford Hough and Mr. Guffington (L.A.)
Mirka Luoto and Phoebe (Denver)
Simone Mickelberry and Spooky D. Cat (Portland, OR)
Stephanie Park and Wolfie (NYC)
Ian Stitch and Quinn (Tampa, FL)
Saunjae Taylor and Charlie (Chicago)
The Fast and the Furriest: The winning three teams are...
...Alma & Tabby, Simone & Spooky D. Cat and Ian Stitch & Quinn! Alma's team qualified last because time ran out before a third winner was decided, and that they were the team furthest along amongst the six remaining teams. Everybody else leaves with $1,000 and some cat food.
Are You Smart As a Cat?: The three remaining contestants now face a 30-question board with questions ranging from 10-50 points. Like in "Jeopardy!", you earn points if you're right but you lose points if you're wrong. Here are the six categories:
FAMOUS FELINES
CAT-TISTICS
JUST KITTEN AROUND
MAW & PAW
HISSTORY
LET'S GET FUZZICAL
ALMA STARTS OUT WITH FAMOUS FELINES FOR 10:
What's the name of Dr. Evil's kitty-companion in the "Austin Powers" films?
IAN: Mr. Bigglesworth- CORRECT (10); CAT-TISTICS FOR 20
What boxing gear is also the accepted name for a cat's white paws?
SIMONE: Gloves- RIGHT (20); LET'S GET FUZZICAL FOR 20
What white, bulbous vegetable, legendary as a vampire repellant, is toxic to cats?
IAN: Garlic- YOU BET (30); JUST KITTEN AROUND FOR 10
Morning, noon or night- at what point in the day are cats more active?
ALMA: Night- CORRECT (10); MAW & PAW FOR 20
Abraham Lincoln's cat, Tabby (and also the name of Alma's cat), was the first of several cats to live in what presidential mansion?
IAN: The White House- OF COURSE (50); HISS-STORY FOR 10
What anicent pyramid builders tamed, worshipped and eventually mummified their pet cats?
ALMA: Egyptians- RIGHT (20); FAMOUS FELINES FOR 20
What cat character appeared as a floating smile in "Alice in Wonderland"?
SIMONE: Cheshire Cat- CORRECT (40); JUST KITTEN AROUND FOR 30
About how many vocalization sounds does a cat make- less than 10, exactly 35 or over 60?
ALMA: Exactly 35- INCORRECT (-10)
IAN: Over 60- RIGHT (80); LET'S GET FUZZICAL FOR 30
Like humans, a kitten will lose all of these before reaching maturity. What are they?
IAN: Baby teeth- RIGHT AGAIN (110); JUST KITTEN AROUND FOR 20
When a cat is either happy, scared or in pain, what noise will it make?
ALMA: Purr- CORRECT (10); MAW & PAW FOR 40
Siamese, Persian or Manx- what's the most popular pedigreed breed of cat in America?
ALMA: Persian- RIGHT AGAIN (50); JUST KITTEN AROUND FOR 40
What's the activity that cats spend approximately two thirds of their lives doing?
IAN: Sleeping- YES INDEED (150); HISS-STORY FOR 20
From which parent does a kitten learn the survival skill of hunting?
ALMA: Mother- RIGHT (70); MAW & PAW FOR 50
If a cat is "Polydactyl", it has extra what?
ALMA: Toe- RIGHT AGAIN (120); TIME EXPIRES
Simone leaves with $10,000 and the cat food, plus a chosen feline charity will get $1,000.
Think Like a Cat: With 100 points to start for Ian and Alma, here's the first situation:
A voice recorder was placed inside a big box with each cat owner's voice. Does the cat even stick their head inside?
IAN:
Guess: NO
Answer: YES
Wager: 30
Current score: 70
ALMA:
Guess: YES
Answer: YES
Wager: 10
Current score: 110
Now for the question where the two can wager as much as they want:
Both cats were introduced to a stuffed animal, a ball with a bell inside and a treat ball. If their cat touched at least one toy, which one did they touch first? Or did they not touch any toy at all?
IAN:
Guess: Stuffed mouse
Answer: Stuffed mouse
Wager: ALL IN
Final score: 140
ALMA:
Guess: NOTHING
Answer: Treat ball
Wager: 20 (DOH)
Final score: 90
Alma's wagering blunder means Ian and Quinn will go for the big money! Alma leaves with $15,000, the cat food, and a $1,500 donation to her charity.
MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE: Quinn chooses #7 while Ian chooses #2 because he thinks that in poker, a 7-2 base hand is the worst you can get. #7 has the red snapper. Does #2 also have that for $1,000,000???...
...NO- Salmon's there instead. As it turns out, they didn't pick either of the winning numbers- the right ones were #4 and #6, both of which had a chicken card. That means he's the first contestant of my third season to lose $1,000,000. But he does leave with $25,000, the cat food, and a $2,500 donation to his charity.

Big GSN Note for 11/20
Betty White will be the featured attraction of the second half of GSN Live on Thursday, November 20th! She's scheduled to appear on the set at 5 PM that day. From 3-6 PM that day, a "Password Plus" marathon featuring episodes with her and Allen Ludden will air.
Ratings notes
Last night's "TPIR" military special pulled a 4.7 Fast Nielsen with an 8 share, winning its time slot but understandably down from the "NCIS" reruns that had aired in the 9 PM slot the past few weeks.
"Deal or No Deal" and "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" each scored a 3.5/6. "Don't Forget the Lyrics!" managed a 3.2/6.
Finally, the fifth season premiere of "Top Chef" was its highest-rated ever with about 2.7 million viewers.

First, they had to cut 15 apples with a knife. The last eight to finish moved on to the second part, while the first one to finish got immunity. The winner was...
...Stefan Richter!
In the second part, the remaining eight had to brundise two cups of apples. Four would be on the bubble during the final part. Their names were...

11/14/2008 Results- My Brother Andrew's Birthday
TPIR: Before we get to the military special later tonight, let's see what happens on Episode 4515K. The opening players are Kimberly, Scott, Jamie and Charles, and the first IUFB is a computer system (Amber & Phire).
Charles: $2,150
Jamie: $1,300
Scott: $1,350
Kimberly: $2,151
ARP: $2,608
Kimberly, a PhD student from UCLA and is originally from San Diego, will play It's In the Bag; this is the first time ever this game's been played first! Gabrielle and Phire are the game's models today. The products are razor kit, Multi-Grain Cheerios, mixed nuts, Ester-C, snoring aid and Skittles. Here are her guesses:
$.90: Skittles
$13.49: Ester-C (the audience and I are worried about this one)
$6.49: Razor kit
$4.99: Nuts
$3.49: Cereal
She's right about the Skittles for $1,000. She goes on with the Ester-C and I have a bad feeling the $13.49 item is actually the sleeping aid...but it's the Ester-C for $2,000! But she goes on with the razor kit and loses. Correct items for the last three stops:
$6.49: Nuts
$4.99: Sleeping aid
$3.49: Cereal
Leaving the audience fifth is Shon and the second IUFB is a bubble chair (Gabrielle & Phire).
Shon: $3,000
Charles: $755
Jamie: $650
Scott: $756
ARP: $3,350
Shon Miller, who's studying Physical Therapy at school, plays Most Expensive for a secretary desk (Gabrielle), golf equipment (Phire) and a refrigerator (Amber). He thinks the most expensive out of the three is the refrigerator. The desk is $2,500, the golf stuff is $1,240...and the refrigerator is just $1,399.
Coming down now is Linda and the third IUFB is garden equipment (Phire).
Linda: $450
Charles: $1,200
Jamie: $1,201
Scott: BUCK
ARP: $869
Linda Zorn, not related to current Washington Redskins coach Jim, is from Laguna Beach, CA; she now plays One Away for a Honda Element (Std., AT, Security)(Amber & Gabrielle). Board:
$ 3 1 , 7 4 5
Her first guess:
$ 2 2 , 8 5 4
She has...four right. She changes the second 2 and loses. ARP: $22,654.
TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Broyhill game table
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Linda ($869): 55 + 90 = DOH
Kimberly ($2,608): $.90
Shon ($3,350): 45 + 65 = OVER
Kimberly goes to the Showcase.
Coming on down next is Cheryl Landers and the fourth IUFB is a pair of electric guitars (Amber).
Cheryl: $3,800 (STAGE WILLY)
Charles: $2,238
Jamie: $2,500
Scott: $2,000
As I figured, all have overbid.
Cheryl: $1,850
Charles: $1,601
Jamie: $1,500
Scott: $1,000
All are over again.
Cheryl: $995
Charles: $738
Jamie: $750
Scott: $800
ALL ARE OVER FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW!! Nothing seems to be going right in this episode!
Cheryl: $725
Charles: $518
Jamie: $650
Scott: BUCK
ARP: $620
Video Bonus: Triple All-Overbids
Charles finally gets us out of that IUFB nightmare and plays Balance Game for an Aico bed (Phire). Gabrielle has the scale today. Last three numbers in the bed are 8, 3 and 8.
DOLLAR VALUES AVAILABLE: $2,000, $4,000 & $5,000
He places $2,000 and $4,000 on the scale, thus agreeing with me that the bed is $6,838...we're on the board!
Jerell Cantrell comes on down next and the next IUFB is a sapphire/diamond bracelet brought to us by Gabrielle.
Jerell: $695
Jamie: $1,300
Scott: $1,500
Cheryl: $849
ARP: $1,700
Scott now escapes and this UC-Riverside student now plays Lucky $even for a Honda Accord Coupe (Std., AT, Cover, Sensors, Net)(Phire). His second number guess is 7...
$ 2 4 , _ _ _
...that's a $3 WILLY right there. Third number guess is 6...
$ 2 4 , 1 _ _
...he's broke already. ARP: $24,128. This was the first really hard Lucky $even playing of the season; why the heck he really overpriced the Honda as if it was a Mustang is beyond me.
The last player is Amanda Fink and the final IUFB is an eliptical trainer (Phire).
Amanda: $525
Cheryl: $2,310
Jerell: $1,895
Jamie: $2,400
ARP: $999

Jeopardy!: The season's last three teens are all seniors. They are:
Shelby Malone (Grayson, KY)
Ben Chuchla (Calabasas, CA)
Charlie Carbery (Oak Park, IL)
Opening categories:
IT'S LIKE SHAKESPEARE, YOU KNOW?
TV OR NOT TV
ANAGRAMMED PRESIDENTIAL LAST NAMES
THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD OF THE KITCHEN
POTTY MOUTH!
URBAN DICTIONARY.COM LINGO
Carbery's going for an instant sweep of the Presidential Anagrams with the $1,000 clue also being a Daily Double. He wagers face value ($1,000) on this:
WIENER SHOE
He can't get Eisenhower, so no sweep there and his $2,000 gets cut in half. At the first break, he has $2,400; Chuchla has $1,800 and Malone has $1,600. After the round...
Charlie: $1,800
Ben: $4,400
Shelby: $3,400
...Carbery's slipped to last place while Chuchla's now in the lead.
ROUND 1 LACH TRASH: $4,000
DJ! Categories:
A VOYAGE THROUGH EUROPE
POSE-POURRI
TEENS IN HISTORY
AQUATIC MAMMALS
LIKE HANNAH (each correct response will be a palindromic word)
MONTANA
About midway in the round, Malone finds the first Daily Double under the $800 Montana clue with $5,800; she leads Chuchla by $600 and Carbery by $2,000. Her wager is $1,500. To stay in front:
One of the three Canadian provinces that border Montana.
"What is Alberta?"...the right three are British Columbia, Saskatchewan...and Alberta, meaning she's still the leader with $7,300! Later, she wraps up Aquatic Mammals with the other Daily Double. Now with $11,300, she wagers $3,000 this time.
Its population has grown the past few years, but this state marine mammal of Florida is still endangered.
"What is the manatee?"...one's being made fun of on "Late Night With Conan O' Brien"- that's right to go to $14,300!
DJ! LACH TRASH: $10,000
SCORES AFTER DOUBLE JEOPARDY!:
Charlie: $5,800
Ben: $13,600
Shelby: $15,100
CORYAT SCORES:
Charlie: $6,800
Ben: $13,600
Shelby: $13,400
It's possible all three could be in next week's semi-finals.
FJ! CATEGORY: Higher Education.
The first public one of these schools began in Illinois in 1901 for students who wanted to pursue higher education in their home area.
The scores to beat for the ones who lose tonight are Audrey Hosford's $8,200 and Haley Batz's $6,800.
We start with Carbery, who wrote down "What is a state school?"...HE LOSES EVERYTHING WITH THAT. He leaves with $5,000. Chuchla wrote "What is an agricultural college?"...no, but it only costs him $4,500, so he's at $9,100 and assured at least of a Wild Card berth. Malone's response was "What is a community college?"...ACCEPTABLE FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE, SHE WINS! She and Chuchla will join the other seven teen semi-finalists next week.
Don't Forget the Lyrics!: Tonight's contestant is Marcus Johnson from Katy, TX (who is a music teacher). Waiting in the wings to possibly help him out are his wife Michelle and Craig (a friend of his). Categories:
POP
THE "EYES" HAVE IT
TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
R & B
TV THEMES
LOVE SONGS
ROCK
1980s
CLASSIC ROCK
The first topic he tackles is Rock and the choices are "Good Lovin'" by the Young Rascals and "Cheap Sunglasses" by ZZ Top. He picks "Good Lovin'" and needs to fill in three words to the following:
"Yeah and you __ __ ___"
He's right with "...got the cure". His second category is Classic Rock, and this time the choices are "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band and "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey. He tries "The Joker" and he's got another three word target:
"I play my music __ ___ ___"
He's unsure with "...all night long", so he uses his two words backup. He chooses the second and third blanks and gets the following:
"I play my music ____ the sun"
Good thing he used a backup there. After changing his guess to "...under the sun", he uses another backup and calls on Craig. It's changed again to "...in the sun" and that's finally locked in...right.
His third category is R & B. On the board this time are "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations and "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. He attempts "Tell Me Something Good" and hopefully he won't have as much trouble filling in the three missing words to this:
"Tell me that __ ___ __"
He's confident with "...you like it"...one away from the safe haven. Before he tries to get there, Mark Cuban makes a special appearance! He gives the contestant a basketball signed by the Dallas Mavericks, tickets for his music class to a Dallas Mavericks game and the right to let Marcus sing the National Anthem at a Mavericks game!
Back to the game, he's trying Love Songs fourth. The two in play tonight are "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green and "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. His pick is "Let's Stay Together" and he needs to fill in six this time:
"Times are ___ __ __ ___ __ __"
At this point, Mark stays on the set for the rest of the game. Marcus locks in "...good or bad, happy or sad"...and he has $25,000!
His $50,000 topic is TV Themes. He can choose the theme from "The Brady Bunch" or "Making Our Dreams Come True" from "Laverne & Shirley" fame. He tries "The Brady Bunch" and again must fill in six blanks:
"That's the way __ _____ __ ____ ____"
He goes with "...they became The Brady Bunch"...incorrect. It was "...we became The Brady Bunch"...HOWEVER, after this game ended, the backstage researchers found out that during the first season of "The Brady Bunch", the ending of the theme was actually Marcus' final guess of "...they became The Brady Bunch". Therefore, his guess is acceptable for $50,000!
(Note: This mishap was not included in tonight's broadcast.)
His next category selection is the 1980s. The song choices this time are "Let's Dance" by David Bowie and "Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins. He wants "Hole Me Now" and now has his hardest task tonight- filling in nine words. They follow "Whoa" during the chorus part. His chorus remainder guess is "...warm my heart, stay with me, let lovin' start" and he decides to lock that in...correct for $100,000!
After performing his own personal rap about this show, his $200,000 category is Pop. The next pair of songs that pop up on the screen are "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing" by Michael Jackson. He chooses the Michael Jackson song and again must fill in nine. He needs to come up with the words that follow "Won't you come, it's emergency". His guess is "...cool my fire yearnin' honey, come set me free". That doesn't sound right to me, but he locks it in anyway...
"...cool my fire yearnin' honey, come set me free"
...RIGHT for $200,000!
Going for $350,000, his next category is The "Eyes" Have It. Both of these songs have "Eyes" in their title- "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" by Crystal Gayle and "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. His choice is "In Your Eyes" and this time must fill in ten blanks. They come after "(In your eyes) of all the". He only comes up with "...fruitless urges", so it's time for the multiple choice:
A: "...fruitless searches I can feel the light and the heat"
B: "...fruitless searches now I feel the light and the heat"
C: "...fruitless searches oh I see the light and the heat"
He goes for it with B...NO. It was C, marking the first time somebody has lost on the $350,000 level and the first time that somebody has lost despite using their multiple choice backup on any song. He leaves with $25,000 and the other prizes...for good.
TPIR Salute to the Troops: This is Episode 4512K, so this is, I repeat, NOT a Million Dollar Spectacular or an official primetime special. The opening theme on this episode is "Stars and Stripes Forever", being played live in the studio by the Marine Corps Band!

TONIGHT'S BEAT THE BANKER WINNING CASE: #2
Charles: $2,150
Jamie: $1,300
Scott: $1,350
Kimberly: $2,151
ARP: $2,608
Kimberly, a PhD student from UCLA and is originally from San Diego, will play It's In the Bag; this is the first time ever this game's been played first! Gabrielle and Phire are the game's models today. The products are razor kit, Multi-Grain Cheerios, mixed nuts, Ester-C, snoring aid and Skittles. Here are her guesses:
$.90: Skittles
$13.49: Ester-C (the audience and I are worried about this one)
$6.49: Razor kit
$4.99: Nuts
$3.49: Cereal
She's right about the Skittles for $1,000. She goes on with the Ester-C and I have a bad feeling the $13.49 item is actually the sleeping aid...but it's the Ester-C for $2,000! But she goes on with the razor kit and loses. Correct items for the last three stops:
$6.49: Nuts
$4.99: Sleeping aid
$3.49: Cereal
Leaving the audience fifth is Shon and the second IUFB is a bubble chair (Gabrielle & Phire).
Shon: $3,000

Jamie: $650
Scott: $756
ARP: $3,350
Shon Miller, who's studying Physical Therapy at school, plays Most Expensive for a secretary desk (Gabrielle), golf equipment (Phire) and a refrigerator (Amber). He thinks the most expensive out of the three is the refrigerator. The desk is $2,500, the golf stuff is $1,240...and the refrigerator is just $1,399.
Coming down now is Linda and the third IUFB is garden equipment (Phire).

She has...four right. She changes the second 2 and loses. ARP: $22,654.

As I figured, all have overbid.

All are over again.

ALL ARE OVER FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW!! Nothing seems to be going right in this episode!
Cheryl: $725

Jamie: $650
Scott: BUCK
ARP: $620
Video Bonus: Triple All-Overbids
Charles finally gets us out of that IUFB nightmare and plays Balance Game for an Aico bed (Phire). Gabrielle has the scale today. Last three numbers in the bed are 8, 3 and 8.
DOLLAR VALUES AVAILABLE: $2,000, $4,000 & $5,000
He places $2,000 and $4,000 on the scale, thus agreeing with me that the bed is $6,838...we're on the board!
Jerell Cantrell comes on down next and the next IUFB is a sapphire/diamond bracelet brought to us by Gabrielle.
Jerell: $695
Jamie: $1,300
Scott: $1,500
Cheryl: $849
ARP: $1,700
Scott now escapes and this UC-Riverside student now plays Lucky $even for a Honda Accord Coupe (Std., AT, Cover, Sensors, Net)(Phire). His second number guess is 7...
$ 2 4 , _ _ _
...that's a $3 WILLY right there. Third number guess is 6...
$ 2 4 , 1 _ _
...he's broke already. ARP: $24,128. This was the first really hard Lucky $even playing of the season; why the heck he really overpriced the Honda as if it was a Mustang is beyond me.

Amanda: $525
Cheryl: $2,310
Jerell: $1,895

Jeopardy!: The season's last three teens are all seniors. They are:
Shelby Malone (Grayson, KY)
Ben Chuchla (Calabasas, CA)
Charlie Carbery (Oak Park, IL)
Opening categories:
IT'S LIKE SHAKESPEARE, YOU KNOW?
TV OR NOT TV
ANAGRAMMED PRESIDENTIAL LAST NAMES
THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD OF THE KITCHEN
POTTY MOUTH!
URBAN DICTIONARY.COM LINGO
Carbery's going for an instant sweep of the Presidential Anagrams with the $1,000 clue also being a Daily Double. He wagers face value ($1,000) on this:
WIENER SHOE
He can't get Eisenhower, so no sweep there and his $2,000 gets cut in half. At the first break, he has $2,400; Chuchla has $1,800 and Malone has $1,600. After the round...
Charlie: $1,800
Ben: $4,400
Shelby: $3,400
...Carbery's slipped to last place while Chuchla's now in the lead.
ROUND 1 LACH TRASH: $4,000
DJ! Categories:
A VOYAGE THROUGH EUROPE
POSE-POURRI
TEENS IN HISTORY
AQUATIC MAMMALS
LIKE HANNAH (each correct response will be a palindromic word)
MONTANA
About midway in the round, Malone finds the first Daily Double under the $800 Montana clue with $5,800; she leads Chuchla by $600 and Carbery by $2,000. Her wager is $1,500. To stay in front:
One of the three Canadian provinces that border Montana.
"What is Alberta?"...the right three are British Columbia, Saskatchewan...and Alberta, meaning she's still the leader with $7,300! Later, she wraps up Aquatic Mammals with the other Daily Double. Now with $11,300, she wagers $3,000 this time.
Its population has grown the past few years, but this state marine mammal of Florida is still endangered.
"What is the manatee?"...one's being made fun of on "Late Night With Conan O' Brien"- that's right to go to $14,300!
DJ! LACH TRASH: $10,000
SCORES AFTER DOUBLE JEOPARDY!:

Ben: $13,600
Shelby: $15,100
CORYAT SCORES:
Charlie: $6,800
Ben: $13,600
Shelby: $13,400
It's possible all three could be in next week's semi-finals.
FJ! CATEGORY: Higher Education.
The first public one of these schools began in Illinois in 1901 for students who wanted to pursue higher education in their home area.
The scores to beat for the ones who lose tonight are Audrey Hosford's $8,200 and Haley Batz's $6,800.
We start with Carbery, who wrote down "What is a state school?"...HE LOSES EVERYTHING WITH THAT. He leaves with $5,000. Chuchla wrote "What is an agricultural college?"...no, but it only costs him $4,500, so he's at $9,100 and assured at least of a Wild Card berth. Malone's response was "What is a community college?"...ACCEPTABLE FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE, SHE WINS! She and Chuchla will join the other seven teen semi-finalists next week.
Don't Forget the Lyrics!: Tonight's contestant is Marcus Johnson from Katy, TX (who is a music teacher). Waiting in the wings to possibly help him out are his wife Michelle and Craig (a friend of his). Categories:
POP
THE "EYES" HAVE IT
TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
R & B
TV THEMES
LOVE SONGS
ROCK
1980s
CLASSIC ROCK
The first topic he tackles is Rock and the choices are "Good Lovin'" by the Young Rascals and "Cheap Sunglasses" by ZZ Top. He picks "Good Lovin'" and needs to fill in three words to the following:
"Yeah and you __ __ ___"
He's right with "...got the cure". His second category is Classic Rock, and this time the choices are "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band and "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey. He tries "The Joker" and he's got another three word target:
"I play my music __ ___ ___"
He's unsure with "...all night long", so he uses his two words backup. He chooses the second and third blanks and gets the following:
"I play my music ____ the sun"
Good thing he used a backup there. After changing his guess to "...under the sun", he uses another backup and calls on Craig. It's changed again to "...in the sun" and that's finally locked in...right.
His third category is R & B. On the board this time are "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations and "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. He attempts "Tell Me Something Good" and hopefully he won't have as much trouble filling in the three missing words to this:
"Tell me that __ ___ __"
He's confident with "...you like it"...one away from the safe haven. Before he tries to get there, Mark Cuban makes a special appearance! He gives the contestant a basketball signed by the Dallas Mavericks, tickets for his music class to a Dallas Mavericks game and the right to let Marcus sing the National Anthem at a Mavericks game!
Back to the game, he's trying Love Songs fourth. The two in play tonight are "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green and "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. His pick is "Let's Stay Together" and he needs to fill in six this time:
"Times are ___ __ __ ___ __ __"
At this point, Mark stays on the set for the rest of the game. Marcus locks in "...good or bad, happy or sad"...and he has $25,000!
His $50,000 topic is TV Themes. He can choose the theme from "The Brady Bunch" or "Making Our Dreams Come True" from "Laverne & Shirley" fame. He tries "The Brady Bunch" and again must fill in six blanks:
"That's the way __ _____ __ ____ ____"
He goes with "...they became The Brady Bunch"...incorrect. It was "...we became The Brady Bunch"...HOWEVER, after this game ended, the backstage researchers found out that during the first season of "The Brady Bunch", the ending of the theme was actually Marcus' final guess of "...they became The Brady Bunch". Therefore, his guess is acceptable for $50,000!
(Note: This mishap was not included in tonight's broadcast.)
His next category selection is the 1980s. The song choices this time are "Let's Dance" by David Bowie and "Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins. He wants "Hole Me Now" and now has his hardest task tonight- filling in nine words. They follow "Whoa" during the chorus part. His chorus remainder guess is "...warm my heart, stay with me, let lovin' start" and he decides to lock that in...correct for $100,000!
After performing his own personal rap about this show, his $200,000 category is Pop. The next pair of songs that pop up on the screen are "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing" by Michael Jackson. He chooses the Michael Jackson song and again must fill in nine. He needs to come up with the words that follow "Won't you come, it's emergency". His guess is "...cool my fire yearnin' honey, come set me free". That doesn't sound right to me, but he locks it in anyway...
"...cool my fire yearnin' honey, come set me free"
...RIGHT for $200,000!
Going for $350,000, his next category is The "Eyes" Have It. Both of these songs have "Eyes" in their title- "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" by Crystal Gayle and "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. His choice is "In Your Eyes" and this time must fill in ten blanks. They come after "(In your eyes) of all the". He only comes up with "...fruitless urges", so it's time for the multiple choice:
A: "...fruitless searches I can feel the light and the heat"
B: "...fruitless searches now I feel the light and the heat"
C: "...fruitless searches oh I see the light and the heat"
He goes for it with B...NO. It was C, marking the first time somebody has lost on the $350,000 level and the first time that somebody has lost despite using their multiple choice backup on any song. He leaves with $25,000 and the other prizes...for good.
TPIR Salute to the Troops: This is Episode 4512K, so this is, I repeat, NOT a Million Dollar Spectacular or an official primetime special. The opening theme on this episode is "Stars and Stripes Forever", being played live in the studio by the Marine Corps Band!

She's right about the cat litter being lower than that, because it's $6.74. She then is right about the supplement being higher, since it's $9.99.

"America's Next Top Model"- FINAL 4
TYRA MAIL #29: "A model who knows how to sell makes the most sense."
Paulina Porizkova taught the remaining four contestants how to model different kinds of items, such as fish, toilet paper, and I believe an iPod. Analeigh did the worst.
TYRA MAIL #30: "Your delivery better be on the mark."
They were taken to Amsterdam Worldwide, where they were told of this:
Challenge #1: Do a 30-second Amsterdam Worldwide commercial that involves male supermodel Mark Vanderloo. The winner got a $10,000 G-Star shopping spree.
McKey didn't do very well with the commercial. Not surprisingly, Analeigh's previous acting experiences helped her do well in this challenge. But was it enough for her to win the challenge?...
...NO- the win went to Marjorie. But all was not lost- she was picked by Marjorie to join her in the shopping spree.
TYRA MAIL #31: "Tomorrow you'll be going Dutch. But you're gonna have to give 100%."
Prior to the next important thing, the ladies had a feast that included alcohol. And Marjorie apparently drank a little too much while bathing with a local man.
PHOTO SHOOT: The remaining four had to pose with extreme hair and makeup near the famous giant windmill.
1. Analeigh: She acted as a pitchfork lady. Good job!
2. Marjorie: Her drunkeness really got to her in the photos near the fence; hence, she didn't do that well here.
3. Samantha: She was walking in the grass for her photos. She did poorly thanks in part to being uncomfortable with the shoes she was given.
4. McKey: She posed with a dark costume with a chain attached while she was just underneath the windmill.
Analeigh & McKey got into the finals no problem. The final spot came down to Marjorie and Samantha. The season's last finalist is...
Marjorie
Samantha
...Sam, meaning Marjorie got a ticket home and learned a valuable lesson in life- getting drunk can wreck anybody's dreams in life in a New York Minute.

"Million Dollar Password" Season 2 premiere date announced and details
The second season of "Million Dollar Password" will bow on December 21st, and like the first season will air on Sundays after "60 Minutes". The celebrities for the second season premiere will be William Shatner and Aisha Tyler. Here are some changes for the second season:
-The show now eminates from L.A. The first season was taped in NYC.
-Contestants are allowed to fail once on both the $10,000 and the $25,000 levels of the money round; the first failed attempt on either of those levels will be edited out of the broadcast.
-After clearing the $100,000 level, the clue givers (most likely the civilian contestants) will be shown ALL six passwords before deciding whether or not to go for the $250,000.
-In addition to $25,000 being a safe haven, $250,000 is also now a safe haven. Thus, anyone who clears the quarter million level gets a free chance to become a millionaire.
Various sources contributed to this report.

"The Ultimate Fighter" 11/12
Tom Lawlor decided to give a hard punch to the jaw of Dave Kaplan to test how tough his jaw is. As it turned out, Kaplan's jaw was sore after the punch.
COACH'S CHALLENGE: This season, the teams engage in a soccer penalty kick shootout. The first team to make ten wins $10,000 for their coach and $1,000 for each remaining contestant on that team. Antonio Noguiera said this challenge insulted his heritage.
The winners were...
...Team Noguiera!
Krzysztof Sosynski's room was allegedly turned into the "UFC Storage Room". Sosynski decided one night that he confiscated all of the kitchen utensils, tables and dinnerware and set up a breakfast for Team Noguiera the next morning outside. After that breakfast, some of the stuff from the storage room was scattered all over the hallway floor.
LAST LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT QUARTERFINAL: Krzysztof Sosynski vs. Kyle Kingsbury
Referee: Herb Dean
Round 1: Early on, Kingsbury was given a warning for excessive high knees. After 2:08 into the round, Kingsbury scored a big takedown on Sosynski. But seconds later, Sosynski struck with an armbar attempt...and he won at 2:36!

"Survivor: Gabon" 11/13
Early on, Matty feels like he is in the most danger of being voted out at Tribal Council amongst the five remaining Fang members. Soon after we hear him, here comes this Tree Mail:
"It will be fun, long drives and short putts, you may need more practice than anyone thinks. A once in a lifetime 'cultural trip' for those who perform best on the links."
Reward Challenge: Both tribes launch a ball from a slingshot until they get one into a hole. The tribe who uses fewer shots wins that hole. This is a best 2 out of 3 match; the winners go to a village to eat and sleep for the night. Corrine sits this challenge out for Fang.
HOLE 1:
FANG: 4
KOTA: 3 (1-0)
HOLE 2:
FANG: 3 (TIED)
KOTA: 4
FINAL HOLE:
FANG: 4
KOTA: 5
And for the first time in a while, Sugar will definitely NOT be going back to Exile Island! This time, Bob's going over there. Bob is NOT aware that Sugar already claimed the Immunity Idol from there a long time ago. As it turns out, though, by the time he leaves Exile Island, he's wearing a decoy Idol.
Here's the next Tree Mail:
"Today it's not important if you're faster, stronger or smarter. To avoid going home tonight, be the best first starter."
Just as the rules for the next Immunity Challenge are about to be announced, the remaining nine contestants learn that they've reached the MERGER!
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: This is the same set a fire challenge that might sometimes be used for Tribal Council tiebreakers in past seasons. This time, the winner gets individual immunity.
And that lucky person is...
...Suzie Smith! She was in a tight battle with Sugar there.
TRIBAL COUNCIL: Neither Sugar nor Charlie use their Immunity Idol. Sugar doesn't get any votes at all. HOWEVER, Charlie's involved in a tight vote against Crystal. By a vote of 5-4, the second player demoted to the jury this season is...
Charlie
Crystal
...Charlie Herschel, meaning he's the first contestant this season to WASTE AN IMMUNITY IDOL. OUCH.

11/13/2008 Results
TPIR: Opening the show are Mylissa, Christopher, Paula and Karin. The first IUFB is a pool table (Gabrielle & Phire).
Karin: $1,299
Paula: $3,400
Christopher: $1,600
Mylissa: $1,200
ARP: $2,800
Christopher Newcy from Santa Cruz, CA plays Cover Up for a Jeep Wrangler (Std., AT, HTop, Prot, EBH)(Amber). Board:
First number: 2 or 3?
Second number: 2, 5 or 7?
Third number: 1, 3, 4 or 8?
Fourth number: 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5?
Last number: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9?
First guess is $25,847...the 2 and the 8 are right. Second guess is $22,858...the second 2 is now right. Third guess is $22,819...the 1 is now right. His final guess is $22,814...BULLSEYE and he does a baseball slide over the Jeep!
(Note: Instead of asking the sound effects lady one last time if he had won the Jeep or not, Drew simply decided to hit the reveal button on the gameboard to reveal if he had won or not. I wish Bob Barker had done that a lot more often.)
David now enters Contestant's Row and the second IUFB is a cooler collection (Phire).
David: $325 (STUPID BID)
Mylissa: $300 (STUPID BID)
Karin: $350
Paula: BUCK (STUPID BID)
By default, Karin Joot wins with the ARP being $1,176.
This resort manager from Las Vegas now plays Cliff Hangers for a trip to New Orleans (Amber & Gabrielle) worth $5,400. Phire now models a "TPIR" PC game, a USB hub and a drink buggy. Karin's on the nose with $20 for the game. She then guesses $33 for the USB hub...$30. Her guess on the buggy is $35...it's actually $50 and she wins!
Next to leave their seat is Carrie and the third IUFB is stemware (Amber & Phire).
Carrie: $400
Paula: $585
David: $900
Mylissa: $1,000
ARP: $1,680
Mylissa Acevedo, who I doubt is related to $1,000,000 winner Cynthia, is a professional ballet dancer and a news lady in the Vegas area. And she could be doing a victory dance if she wins Clock Game for $1,000, a sofa (Gabrielle) and a sailboat (Phire). ARP of the sofa was $1,679. She starts with $3,000, then
$2,700...$2,500...$2,200...$2,100...$1,900...$1,500...$1,700, $1,600, $1,650, $1,670,
$1,699...$1,680...$1,684...$1,674...$1,680...$1,677 and one ups from there to finally win that with just three seconds left. The boat's price was $1,995. She begins with $4,700, then $4,400...$3,000...and then $2,000 before running out of time.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Mylissa ($3,359): Quarter + 45 (during her second spin, she belly danced and some special music is played!) = $.70
Karin ($6,676): 40 + 20 = $.60
Christopher ($25,614): 55 + 55 = OVER
Mylissa will be belly dancing her way to the Showcase!
Carlos Camejo comes on down next and the fourth IUFB is a set of surfboards (Gabrielle).
Carlos: $2,000
Carrie: $1,800
Paula: $2,400
David: BUCK
ARP: $1,544
David Bortz, a Psychology major from Ohio State, plays One Right Price for a motorcycle (Gabrielle) and a fireplace (Amber). He decides that Phire should place the price of $1,999 on the fireplace...got it! The motorcycle was $3,349.
After him comes Dorothy Benson and the fifth IUFB is a weather station (Amber).
Dorothy: $700
Carlos: $350
Carrie: $701
Paula: $702
ARP: $760
Paula House finally makes it out and this barefooted lady from St. Louis now plays Money Game for a Pontiac Vibe (Phire). Board:
(19)(37)(64)
(50)(17)(95)
(25)(18)(86)
Middle number is 4. She starts with 25 for $25, then 17 for $17...19 for another $19 before finally picking 18 as the front of the car ($ 1 8 , 4 _ _). She then picks 64...she finishes with only $124. ARP was $18,486, so she becomes another victim of the Front and Back Trick.
Sharon Zepeda leaves the audience last and the final IUFB is an exercycle (Gabrielle).
Sharon: $700
Dorothy: $510
Carlos: $450
Carrie: $1,000
ARP: $799
Sharon now plays Bullseye for a dining room (Phire) worth $6,266. Products today are crescent rolls, Clorox bleach, fruit snacks, Yams and Eggo French Toast.
1. 3 French Toasts: $3.49 X 3 = WIN AT $10.47!
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Paula ($884): $.70
David ($6,892): Nickel + 90 = $.95
Sharon ($7,065): 45 + 50 = $.95
SPIN-OFF:
David: Dime
Sharon: $.50
Sharon goes to the Showcase.
First Showcase asks people what's the most logical place you can think of when you hear French Fries and French Toast? Where else- Paris (Amber)! Second, if you like rings like the onion ones, napkin ones and "Lord of the Rings", you might like to wear a new diamond engagement ring (Gabrielle). Finally, if you hear cardboard and carp fish, you'd instead think of a new Ford Mustang Convertible (Std., AT)(Phire)!
SHARON SHOCKINGLY PASSES TO MYLISSA, WHO BIDS $33,000 ON TRIP/CAR SHOWCASE
MY BID FOR TRIP/CAR SHOWCASE: $37,850
For Sharon, she visits Port O' Price being overseen by Gabrielle and captained by Amber. The prizes on today's big boat are a popcorn machine, a wine cabinet and a Smart fortwo Passion (Fairly loaded)!

The $250,000 in #22 next to #21's $100,000?...nah, it had $500 instead. But had she gone on one more time with Danille's #9, she would've knocked out $5 and likely taken an offer of $111,000.
WOF: Let's start out with this Toss-Up in the category of Fictional Characters:
_ N _ _ P Y/&/
_ O _ _ S _ _ _ K
Malia & Julie easily solve SNOOPY & WOODSTOCK for $1,000. Here are tonight's duos:
Malia Stapleton and Julie (Waikaloa, HI)
Lauren Williamson and Courtney Dingus- Seniors at University of Hawaii-Hilo; Lauren majors in Psychology while Courtney majors in Geography
Opeta Brien and Stephen Camcam (Honolulu)- Opeta's originally from American Samoa, while Stephen retired from the Air Force last May
$2,000 Toss-Up category is Rhyme Time:
G _/_ I _ H/_ _ _/
_ _ _ W
Lauren & Courtney solve GO WITH THE FLOW for $2,000.
Round 1 category is Before & After and out on the wheel now are a pair of Alaskan Cruises from NCL worth $11,200. After Lauren & Courtney buy the U, we have...
_ U _ _ _
F L I G H T
A T T E N _ A N T
...but they spin Bankrupt. Opeta & Stephen spin Lose a Turn. Malia & Julie call a $300 D then call a B for a gift tag worth $1,000 cash. After an $800 P, they solve BUMPY FLIGHT ATTENDANT for another $3,850 and $4,850 total.
DUDS: O, R, S
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Lauren & Courtney)
Swanson Broth Jackpot Round category is Living Things. Opeta & Stephen land on the Million Dollar Wedge instantly but call a dud in T. Malia & Julie fail to pick up the Free Spin with another dud of N. Back to Opeta & Stephen, they land on Jackpot and call a $500 R; they can't solve for a $6,400 Jackpot. A little later, after Lauren & Courtney call the F's for the cruises, we have...
S A _ _ F _ S H/&/
S _ _ R _ F _ S H
...they buy three I's but get a Bankrupt from the Million Dollar Wedge to lose the cruises and $1,900. Opeta & Stephen call a $900 L but buy the other dud vowel on the board in U. Malia & Julie then call a $600 D but spin a regular Bankrupt, as do Lauren & Courtney. Opeta & Stephen then just decide to solve SAILFISH & SWORDFISH for their first $2,000.
DUDS: E (repeated once by Malia & Julie), N, P, T, U
BANKRUPTS: 3 (Lauren & Courtney twice, Malia & Julie)
IHOP Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food & Drink. Malia & Julie start this round by hitting Bankrupt for the second time in a row (and third overall). After Opeta & Stephen then call the P, we have...

P _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ S
...I've got it already. They call the N's for another $600, buy the A's, call a $900 C, a $300 L for the Free Spin and then buy the O's. They then solve FROZEN PINA COLADAS for another $1,600 and a pair of trips to Mazatlan, for a new total of $17,000 in cash and trips.
DUDS: T (while Lauren & Courtney were on a Mystery Wedge)
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Malia & Julie)

R _ _ _ H/_ R _ _ _ D/T H _/
_ D _ _ S
...they can't solve. Malia & Julie call a dud in M. Lauren & Courtney call the N's but can't pull out the solve for $7,500. Opeta & Stephen then call the last remaining consonant on the board, G, and solve ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES to seal the deal with a winning total of $24,500! Lauren & Courtney get $2,500 apiece and Malia & Julie each get $2,425.

ALL YOU NEED IS GOVERNOR
YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT
On the last clue before the first break, Batz finds the Daily Double under the $800 clue in You Can Quote Me On That with $800 so far. Schrader leads now with $2,600 and Marx has $1,400. She tries to double up with this:
This author concluded a famous novel with the line "After all, tomorrow is another day".
"Who is Ernest Hemingway?"...incorrect. It was Margaret Mitchell. At the end of the round, Schrader's now at $6,200. Marx has $2,600 and Batz's back up to $1,600.
ROUND 1 LACH TRASH: $3,800
ASK ALEX #2: Why did Alex shave his moustache? Because the thought came to him while looking at the mirror one day before an episode started. On the first show without his moustache, half the crowd didn't notice a difference about Alex.

Marx is the one who finds the first Daily Double under the $1,200 Nonfiction clue with $4,600. She trails Schrader by two grand at this moment, and she'll try to cut the lead in half with this clue:
This book that tackled the topic of football in a Texas town inspired a film and a TV series.
"What is Friday Night Lights?"...you bet it is to go to $5,600! By the time she finds the other Daily Double under the $1,200 clue in Abbreviations, she now trails him by just $600, $9,000 to $8,400. She wagers $1,000 again. This is for the lead:
nsec stands for this very brief amount of time.
"What is a nanosecond?"...she's got the lead now with $9,400!

Haley Batz made a decent charge in the second half of DJ!
FJ! CATEGORY: Washington, D.C.
Unveiled in 1923, the statue seen here of this man is located on the south side of the Treasury Building.
We start off with Batz, who wrote down "Who is Madison?"...incorrect. She wagered $2,000, so she's down to $6,800. Schrader said "Who is Hamilton?"...right for another $2,000, giving him $17,000 and guaranteeing him at least a wild card berth in the semi-finals. As for Marx...she put Jefferson, meaning the man wins, but she only lost $3,800, so with a final score of $12,400 tonight, she's in the semi-finals anyway as a Wild Card! Benjamin Saunders is also a Wild Card. Let's see the updated scoreboard:
WILD CARD LEADERBOARD:
1. Benjamin Saunders- $20,000
2. Sarah Marx- $12,400
3. Audrey Hosford- $8,200
4. Haley Batz- $6,800
Katie Houghton and Casey Clough each leave with $5,000.
Karin: $1,299
Paula: $3,400
Christopher: $1,600
Mylissa: $1,200
ARP: $2,800
Christopher Newcy from Santa Cruz, CA plays Cover Up for a Jeep Wrangler (Std., AT, HTop, Prot, EBH)(Amber). Board:
First number: 2 or 3?
Second number: 2, 5 or 7?
Third number: 1, 3, 4 or 8?
Fourth number: 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5?
Last number: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9?
First guess is $25,847...the 2 and the 8 are right. Second guess is $22,858...the second 2 is now right. Third guess is $22,819...the 1 is now right. His final guess is $22,814...BULLSEYE and he does a baseball slide over the Jeep!
(Note: Instead of asking the sound effects lady one last time if he had won the Jeep or not, Drew simply decided to hit the reveal button on the gameboard to reveal if he had won or not. I wish Bob Barker had done that a lot more often.)
David now enters Contestant's Row and the second IUFB is a cooler collection (Phire).
David: $325 (STUPID BID)
Mylissa: $300 (STUPID BID)
Karin: $350
Paula: BUCK (STUPID BID)
By default, Karin Joot wins with the ARP being $1,176.
This resort manager from Las Vegas now plays Cliff Hangers for a trip to New Orleans (Amber & Gabrielle) worth $5,400. Phire now models a "TPIR" PC game, a USB hub and a drink buggy. Karin's on the nose with $20 for the game. She then guesses $33 for the USB hub...$30. Her guess on the buggy is $35...it's actually $50 and she wins!
Next to leave their seat is Carrie and the third IUFB is stemware (Amber & Phire).
Carrie: $400
Paula: $585
David: $900
Mylissa: $1,000
ARP: $1,680
Mylissa Acevedo, who I doubt is related to $1,000,000 winner Cynthia, is a professional ballet dancer and a news lady in the Vegas area. And she could be doing a victory dance if she wins Clock Game for $1,000, a sofa (Gabrielle) and a sailboat (Phire). ARP of the sofa was $1,679. She starts with $3,000, then
$2,700...$2,500...$2,200...$2,100...$1,900...$1,500...$1,700, $1,600, $1,650, $1,670,
$1,699...$1,680...$1,684...$1,674...$1,680...$1,677 and one ups from there to finally win that with just three seconds left. The boat's price was $1,995. She begins with $4,700, then $4,400...$3,000...and then $2,000 before running out of time.
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Mylissa ($3,359): Quarter + 45 (during her second spin, she belly danced and some special music is played!) = $.70
Karin ($6,676): 40 + 20 = $.60
Christopher ($25,614): 55 + 55 = OVER
Mylissa will be belly dancing her way to the Showcase!
Carlos Camejo comes on down next and the fourth IUFB is a set of surfboards (Gabrielle).
Carlos: $2,000
Carrie: $1,800
Paula: $2,400
David: BUCK
ARP: $1,544
David Bortz, a Psychology major from Ohio State, plays One Right Price for a motorcycle (Gabrielle) and a fireplace (Amber). He decides that Phire should place the price of $1,999 on the fireplace...got it! The motorcycle was $3,349.
After him comes Dorothy Benson and the fifth IUFB is a weather station (Amber).
Dorothy: $700
Carlos: $350
Carrie: $701
Paula: $702
ARP: $760
Paula House finally makes it out and this barefooted lady from St. Louis now plays Money Game for a Pontiac Vibe (Phire). Board:
(19)(37)(64)
(50)(17)(95)
(25)(18)(86)
Middle number is 4. She starts with 25 for $25, then 17 for $17...19 for another $19 before finally picking 18 as the front of the car ($ 1 8 , 4 _ _). She then picks 64...she finishes with only $124. ARP was $18,486, so she becomes another victim of the Front and Back Trick.
Sharon Zepeda leaves the audience last and the final IUFB is an exercycle (Gabrielle).
Sharon: $700
Dorothy: $510
Carlos: $450
Carrie: $1,000
ARP: $799
Sharon now plays Bullseye for a dining room (Phire) worth $6,266. Products today are crescent rolls, Clorox bleach, fruit snacks, Yams and Eggo French Toast.
1. 3 French Toasts: $3.49 X 3 = WIN AT $10.47!
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Paula ($884): $.70
David ($6,892): Nickel + 90 = $.95
Sharon ($7,065): 45 + 50 = $.95
SPIN-OFF:
David: Dime
Sharon: $.50
Sharon goes to the Showcase.
First Showcase asks people what's the most logical place you can think of when you hear French Fries and French Toast? Where else- Paris (Amber)! Second, if you like rings like the onion ones, napkin ones and "Lord of the Rings", you might like to wear a new diamond engagement ring (Gabrielle). Finally, if you hear cardboard and carp fish, you'd instead think of a new Ford Mustang Convertible (Std., AT)(Phire)!
SHARON SHOCKINGLY PASSES TO MYLISSA, WHO BIDS $33,000 ON TRIP/CAR SHOWCASE
MY BID FOR TRIP/CAR SHOWCASE: $37,850
For Sharon, she visits Port O' Price being overseen by Gabrielle and captained by Amber. The prizes on today's big boat are a popcorn machine, a wine cabinet and a Smart fortwo Passion (Fairly loaded)!
SHARON BIDS $22,000 ON SMART CAR SHOWCASE

The $250,000 in #22 next to #21's $100,000?...nah, it had $500 instead. But had she gone on one more time with Danille's #9, she would've knocked out $5 and likely taken an offer of $111,000.
WOF: Let's start out with this Toss-Up in the category of Fictional Characters:
_ N _ _ P Y/&/
_ O _ _ S _ _ _ K
Malia & Julie easily solve SNOOPY & WOODSTOCK for $1,000. Here are tonight's duos:
Malia Stapleton and Julie (Waikaloa, HI)
Lauren Williamson and Courtney Dingus- Seniors at University of Hawaii-Hilo; Lauren majors in Psychology while Courtney majors in Geography
Opeta Brien and Stephen Camcam (Honolulu)- Opeta's originally from American Samoa, while Stephen retired from the Air Force last May
$2,000 Toss-Up category is Rhyme Time:

_ _ _ W
Lauren & Courtney solve GO WITH THE FLOW for $2,000.
Round 1 category is Before & After and out on the wheel now are a pair of Alaskan Cruises from NCL worth $11,200. After Lauren & Courtney buy the U, we have...
_ U _ _ _
F L I G H T
A T T E N _ A N T
...but they spin Bankrupt. Opeta & Stephen spin Lose a Turn. Malia & Julie call a $300 D then call a B for a gift tag worth $1,000 cash. After an $800 P, they solve BUMPY FLIGHT ATTENDANT for another $3,850 and $4,850 total.
DUDS: O, R, S
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Lauren & Courtney)
Swanson Broth Jackpot Round category is Living Things. Opeta & Stephen land on the Million Dollar Wedge instantly but call a dud in T. Malia & Julie fail to pick up the Free Spin with another dud of N. Back to Opeta & Stephen, they land on Jackpot and call a $500 R; they can't solve for a $6,400 Jackpot. A little later, after Lauren & Courtney call the F's for the cruises, we have...
S A _ _ F _ S H/&/
S _ _ R _ F _ S H
...they buy three I's but get a Bankrupt from the Million Dollar Wedge to lose the cruises and $1,900. Opeta & Stephen call a $900 L but buy the other dud vowel on the board in U. Malia & Julie then call a $600 D but spin a regular Bankrupt, as do Lauren & Courtney. Opeta & Stephen then just decide to solve SAILFISH & SWORDFISH for their first $2,000.
DUDS: E (repeated once by Malia & Julie), N, P, T, U
BANKRUPTS: 3 (Lauren & Courtney twice, Malia & Julie)
IHOP Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round category is Food & Drink. Malia & Julie start this round by hitting Bankrupt for the second time in a row (and third overall). After Opeta & Stephen then call the P, we have...
_ R _ _ E _
P _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ S
...I've got it already. They call the N's for another $600, buy the A's, call a $900 C, a $300 L for the Free Spin and then buy the O's. They then solve FROZEN PINA COLADAS for another $1,600 and a pair of trips to Mazatlan, for a new total of $17,000 in cash and trips.
DUDS: T (while Lauren & Courtney were on a Mystery Wedge)
BANKRUPTS: 1 (Malia & Julie)
WINNING ID FOR TRIP: LW10082
Things is the $3,000 Toss-Up category:
_ U L E S/&/R E G _ _ _ _ _ O N S
Lauren & Courtney solve RULES & REGULATIONS to go to $5,000. Speed-Up Round category is Phrase and consonants are worth $1,500 apiece. After Opeta & Stephen call the D's, we have...
R _ _ _ H/_ R _ _ _ D/T H _/
_ D _ _ S
...they can't solve. Malia & Julie call a dud in M. Lauren & Courtney call the N's but can't pull out the solve for $7,500. Opeta & Stephen then call the last remaining consonant on the board, G, and solve ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES to seal the deal with a winning total of $24,500! Lauren & Courtney get $2,500 apiece and Malia & Julie each get $2,425.

11/12/2008 Results
TPIR: We began with Jody, Latanya, Nicholas and Stephen. First IUFB was an off-road motorcycle (Amber).
Jody: $1,900
Latanya: $2,000
Nicholas: $1,200
Stephen: $1,500
ARP: $2,184
Latanya Williams from Riverside, CA played Any Number for either a wine cabinet (Phire) or a Dodge Avenger (Gabrielle). First number in the car price was 2, and Drew decided to spoil what the upcoming game was by asking us what was the very first Pricing Game introduced in 1972 before the prizes were introduced.
1. 1- CAR ($ 2 _ , 1 _ _)
2. 3- CAR ($ 2 _ , 1 3 _)
3. 2- CAR ($ 2 2 , 1 3 _)
4. 0- EXACTA!!!!! ($22,130)
I believe that's the first Any Number EXACTA since November 19, 1998 (nearly a decade ago)! How ironic when Drew decided to talk about the game's history today that a little bit of history was made here today!
(Well, upon further review, the last perfect win here was actually on October 9, 2000 according to a Golden-Road.net member.)
Video Bonus: Any Number EXACTA
Debra then plugged in Lantanya's spot and the second IUFB was hockey equipment (Phire).
Debra: $699
Nicholas: $800
Stephen: $900
Jody: BUCK
ARP: $1,416
Stephen Hargrove, who just graduated from California State University-East Bay as a Mass Communications major, tried to decide correctly whether he was Coming or Going to Mexico City (Amber & Gabrielle). Coming leads to a guess of $4,092 while Going makes the guess $2,904. I went with $2,904 and he and the audience disagreed with me...$4,092 was a winner for him!
Eunice came on down sixth and the third IUFB was a sofa (Gabrielle).
Eunice: $2,000
Jody: $1,300
Debra: $1,800
Nicholas: $1,350
All were over.
Eunice: $800
Jody: $750
Debra: $850
Nicholas: $870
ARP: $1,099
Nicholas Newohner, whose wife Jamie's expecting a new child on the day when Barrack Obama is inaugurated as the next U.S. President (January 20th), tried to win some All-American Cash in Grand Game. Target this time was $6.50 and the products were Blue Star Ointment, Bruce's Yams, Carrot Body Wash (ick), dog food, nail kit and Axe body spray. It didn't look like Fingers wanted the $10,000 won today.
1. Yams- $1.79 ($10)
2. Nail kit (I groaned)- $5.99 ($100)
3. Body wash (I groaned again)- $7.99
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Nicholas ($1,199): 20 + 50 = $.70
Stephen ($5,508): Nickel + 20 = Quarter
Latanya ($24,314): $.80
Just like in Any Number, Latanya quickly won here!
Anthony Flores next entered Contestant's Row and the fourth IUFB was a microwave (Gabrielle & Phire).
Anthony: $200 (STUPID BID)
Eunice: $150 (STUPID BID)
Jody: $500
Debra: $350 (STAGE GARF)
ARP: $549
Almost by default, Jody Beach from South Jersey played Line Em' Up for a blender (Gabrielle), a router, a BBQ (Phire) and something that she could drive to her nearby beach in- a Chevrolet HHR (Amber). Board:
1
?- $748, Blender
?- $49, Wireless router
?- $462, BBQ
4
Her first guess was $18,464...just one of the middle three were right. Her other guess was $18,924...WINNER! We go from two shows in a row with both car games lost to a car game sweep today!
Joyce Forrest came on down next and the next IUFB was a golf bracelet being worn by Amber.
Joyce: $1,400
Debra: $3,000
Anthony: $1,500
Eunice: $1,550
ARP: $2,252
Eunice Hong played One Wrong Price for an espresso maker marked at $1,500 (Gabrielle), a grandfather clock marked at $3,938 (Phire) and a home theatre system marked at $3,190 (Amber). The prize she thought was wrong was the espresso machine...$1,030!
Albert Ruiz was the last name Rich had to call today and the final IUFB was an area rug (Phire).
Albert: $3,500
Joyce: $2,500
Debra: $1,599
Anthony: BUCK
ARP: $2,050
Debra Beeler from Columbus, OH played Double Prices for a 63" inch plasma HDTV (Amber & Gabrielle). Choices were $4,990 and $5,999. She chose to have $4,990 be given the "Alkazam!" treatment...well, Drew instead thought $5,999 was chosen instead, and that was the right price. Upon further review, the result was declared a TECHNICAL WIN. Another reason why Drew has NO CHANCE IN HELL of winning the Outstanding Game Show Host Daytime Emmy in 2009 (an instant replay of this mistake was shown at the bottom of the screen just before the second Showcase Showdown got underway).
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Debra ($8,049): $.75
Eunice ($10,410): 45 + 15 = $.60
Jody ($20,732): 45 + 95 = OVER
Debra, involved in today's screwed up Double Prices, took over the Runner Up Showcase spot.
(Note: The beeping in today's Showcase Showdowns were out of sync.)
TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Oneida flatware (Gabrielle)
The first Showcase was the popular Every Room in the House Showcase. Today, it contained an Aico dinette, a large steel range, a retro Coca-Cola machine and a guitar (Amber & Phire).
LATANYA PASSES; DEBRA BIDS $13,300 ON EVERYROOM SHOWCASE- STAGE GARF
MY BID FOR EVERYROOM SHOWCASE: $22,500
For Latanya, we start with Phire working out on a new home gym. Second, Amber decides to prepare herself for a part in some construction work with some new power tools. Finally, Gabrielle decides that wearing a bikini is only appropriate when showing off a 2009 West White Potter sailboat.
LATANYA BIDS $26,000 ON SAILBOAT SHOWCASE- STAGE WILLY
MY BID FOR SAILBOAT SHOWCASE: $20,500

Just before the final reveals, Latanya told Kyle that they wanted to re-marry, and it appears they're going to do that! But it's Debra who won today and $33,591 in loot (her Showcase podium reflected her legitimate winnings of $27,592, if you take away the TV she was given due to the big error).

IHOP Mystery Round category is Same Name. De Lara and Brad hit Bankrupt on their second spin of the round after they start with a pair of N's for $900. Melissa & Serina then hit Bankrupt as well to lose their Wild Card, and they then use their Free Spin. Later, after they buy the E's, we have...
_ _ _ E R/&/H E _ _ _ N _/
H _ N D
...but they hit Lose a Turn. Christina & Nick call a $900 G but then call a dud in M. De Lara & Brad then call a $400 L, the P's for another $1,800 and solve POKER & HELPING HAND for another $2,200 and $17,200 total.
DUDS: M
BANKRUPTS: 2 (De Lara & Brad, Melisssa & Serina)
$3,000 Toss-Up category is Person:

Melissa & Serina blank out on their guess; that allows Christina & Nick to get on the board with $3,000 on MASTER MAGICIAN! Next category is Around the House. After De Lara & Brad call the L's, we have...
N E E _ L E _ _ _ N _
_ _ L L _ _ S
...they call the P's for $1,400 and solve NEEDLEPOINT PILLOWS for another $2,750 and $19,950 total.

Speed-Up Round category is Proper Name and consonants are worth $6,000 each! After Christina & Nick call the P's, we have...

...they can't solve for $12,000. De Lara & Brad can though, for another $24,000, after they call the C's and solve THE PEACE CORPS! That gives them a season-high maingame total of $43,950! Melissa & Serina get $4,000 in cash and prizes and Christina & Nick leave with $3,000.

Big Money Round: De Lara & Brad spin the second A of AMERICA'S and the category is Phrase. Starting with:

I have a guess of BRING JOY. They call D, K, C and I...but they get shut out; their bad choices literally took them the WRONG WAY, so they don't win another $30,000. They needed the W's there. But they still leave with $43,950 in cash and trips.

Takhar finds the Daily Double under the $600 World Almanac clue with $800, leading the other two players by half that amount. He makes it a True Daily Double and here's the clue:
It's the only country listed that starts with a Q.
"What is Qatar?"...is right to double to $1,600. At the first break, he's starting to run away with it at $6,200, as he leads Hosford by five large ($1,200) while Scheeler has $1,000. After the round, the scores now look like this:
Audrey: $4,000
Drew: $1,600 (after one of his correct response rulings was reversed)
Karan: $7,600

Scheeler discovers the opening Daily Double under the $1,600 I'm So Hot clue with $6,800. Takhar's still way ahead with $15,600 and Hosford's at $5,200. His wager is five grand. To definitely stay in the thick of it:
Though it bears the name of a state in Mexico, this pepper sauce was invented in Louisiana.
"What is cayenne?"...oops. It was Tabasco as I thought, so he's down to $1,800. He then misses the $2,000 clue in the same category and is now $200 in the hole. Meanwhile, Hosford finds the other Daily Double under the $800 Literary Hodgepodge clue. With $5,600 and a $10,000 deficit standing in her face, she decides to risk $2,000 on this:
Flappers loved F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Flappers and Philosophers", published in this decade.
"What is the '20s?"...right to go to $7,600!

The name of this branch of mathematics comes from the Arabic for "reuniting".
We start with the girl's response of "What is addition"...
"What is addition"
...sorry. She risked...$5,000, so she's still alive on the Wild Card Leaderboard for now with $8,200. Takhar's response was "What is algebra?"...RIGHT to seal the deal with another $5,601! Here's the current Wild Card Leaderboard:
WILD CARD LEADERBOARD:
1. Brandon Saunders- $20,000
2. Audrey Hosford- $8,200
3. Katie Houghton- $6,100

Is she the fourth member of the "I just passed up the $500,000" Club?...
...no, she had $300. Here was the rest of the playout had she gone on:
ROUND 5:
1. #14 (Kaitlynn)- $100
2. #20 (Jared)- $50,000 (STRIKE TWO)
FIFTH OFFER: $98,000

ARP: $2,184
Latanya Williams from Riverside, CA played Any Number for either a wine cabinet (Phire) or a Dodge Avenger (Gabrielle). First number in the car price was 2, and Drew decided to spoil what the upcoming game was by asking us what was the very first Pricing Game introduced in 1972 before the prizes were introduced.
1. 1- CAR ($ 2 _ , 1 _ _)
2. 3- CAR ($ 2 _ , 1 3 _)
3. 2- CAR ($ 2 2 , 1 3 _)
4. 0- EXACTA!!!!! ($22,130)
I believe that's the first Any Number EXACTA since November 19, 1998 (nearly a decade ago)! How ironic when Drew decided to talk about the game's history today that a little bit of history was made here today!
(Well, upon further review, the last perfect win here was actually on October 9, 2000 according to a Golden-Road.net member.)
Video Bonus: Any Number EXACTA
Debra then plugged in Lantanya's spot and the second IUFB was hockey equipment (Phire).
Debra: $699
Nicholas: $800
Stephen: $900
Jody: BUCK
ARP: $1,416
Stephen Hargrove, who just graduated from California State University-East Bay as a Mass Communications major, tried to decide correctly whether he was Coming or Going to Mexico City (Amber & Gabrielle). Coming leads to a guess of $4,092 while Going makes the guess $2,904. I went with $2,904 and he and the audience disagreed with me...$4,092 was a winner for him!
Eunice came on down sixth and the third IUFB was a sofa (Gabrielle).
Eunice: $2,000
Jody: $1,300
Debra: $1,800
Nicholas: $1,350
All were over.
Eunice: $800
Jody: $750
Debra: $850
Nicholas: $870
ARP: $1,099
Nicholas Newohner, whose wife Jamie's expecting a new child on the day when Barrack Obama is inaugurated as the next U.S. President (January 20th), tried to win some All-American Cash in Grand Game. Target this time was $6.50 and the products were Blue Star Ointment, Bruce's Yams, Carrot Body Wash (ick), dog food, nail kit and Axe body spray. It didn't look like Fingers wanted the $10,000 won today.
1. Yams- $1.79 ($10)
2. Nail kit (I groaned)- $5.99 ($100)
3. Body wash (I groaned again)- $7.99
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #1:
Nicholas ($1,199): 20 + 50 = $.70
Stephen ($5,508): Nickel + 20 = Quarter
Latanya ($24,314): $.80
Just like in Any Number, Latanya quickly won here!
Anthony Flores next entered Contestant's Row and the fourth IUFB was a microwave (Gabrielle & Phire).
Anthony: $200 (STUPID BID)
Eunice: $150 (STUPID BID)
Jody: $500
Debra: $350 (STAGE GARF)
ARP: $549
Almost by default, Jody Beach from South Jersey played Line Em' Up for a blender (Gabrielle), a router, a BBQ (Phire) and something that she could drive to her nearby beach in- a Chevrolet HHR (Amber). Board:
1
?- $748, Blender
?- $49, Wireless router
?- $462, BBQ
4
Her first guess was $18,464...just one of the middle three were right. Her other guess was $18,924...WINNER! We go from two shows in a row with both car games lost to a car game sweep today!
Joyce Forrest came on down next and the next IUFB was a golf bracelet being worn by Amber.
Joyce: $1,400
Debra: $3,000
Anthony: $1,500
Eunice: $1,550
ARP: $2,252
Eunice Hong played One Wrong Price for an espresso maker marked at $1,500 (Gabrielle), a grandfather clock marked at $3,938 (Phire) and a home theatre system marked at $3,190 (Amber). The prize she thought was wrong was the espresso machine...$1,030!
Albert Ruiz was the last name Rich had to call today and the final IUFB was an area rug (Phire).
Albert: $3,500
Joyce: $2,500
Debra: $1,599
Anthony: BUCK
ARP: $2,050
Debra Beeler from Columbus, OH played Double Prices for a 63" inch plasma HDTV (Amber & Gabrielle). Choices were $4,990 and $5,999. She chose to have $4,990 be given the "Alkazam!" treatment...well, Drew instead thought $5,999 was chosen instead, and that was the right price. Upon further review, the result was declared a TECHNICAL WIN. Another reason why Drew has NO CHANCE IN HELL of winning the Outstanding Game Show Host Daytime Emmy in 2009 (an instant replay of this mistake was shown at the bottom of the screen just before the second Showcase Showdown got underway).
SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN #2:
Debra ($8,049): $.75
Eunice ($10,410): 45 + 15 = $.60
Jody ($20,732): 45 + 95 = OVER
Debra, involved in today's screwed up Double Prices, took over the Runner Up Showcase spot.
(Note: The beeping in today's Showcase Showdowns were out of sync.)
TODAY'S WIN AT HOME PRIZE: Oneida flatware (Gabrielle)
The first Showcase was the popular Every Room in the House Showcase. Today, it contained an Aico dinette, a large steel range, a retro Coca-Cola machine and a guitar (Amber & Phire).
LATANYA PASSES; DEBRA BIDS $13,300 ON EVERYROOM SHOWCASE- STAGE GARF
MY BID FOR EVERYROOM SHOWCASE: $22,500
For Latanya, we start with Phire working out on a new home gym. Second, Amber decides to prepare herself for a part in some construction work with some new power tools. Finally, Gabrielle decides that wearing a bikini is only appropriate when showing off a 2009 West White Potter sailboat.
LATANYA BIDS $26,000 ON SAILBOAT SHOWCASE- STAGE WILLY
MY BID FOR SAILBOAT SHOWCASE: $20,500
DEBRA'S SHOWCASE:
BID: $13,300
ARP: $25,542
DIFFERENCE: $12,242
LATANYA'S SHOWCASE:
BID: $26,000
ARP: $18,690
OVER- DEBRA WINS
Just before the final reveals, Latanya told Kyle that they wanted to re-marry, and it appears they're going to do that! But it's Debra who won today and $33,591 in loot (her Showcase podium reflected her legitimate winnings of $27,592, if you take away the TV she was given due to the big error).
