of this matchup.
Round 1: 100 married women, a place you would go with the girls if
your husband went out with the guys (full board). Ray gets #4, to
the movies. Linda gets #2, to the strip joint. Not that she would
know anything about that. Joel gets the big one with shopping.
Spa, club, and restaurant are up there as well. The Johnstons try
to getaway... but can't. McFarlands get 96. Other answers: casino,
bingo hall.
Round 2: someone you might address as "sir" (7). Jim's father
beats Joel's teacher, 3 to 5. Brice gets #2, boss. The McFarlands
try to steal with the PO-lice... Number one for 135! Other
answers: an elder, the President, customer/client.
Double: if a grown man had a tree house, something he'd keep in it
(full board). Mason gets the big one... BEvERages. TV, tools, and
dirty mags are there as well. Can the McFarlands steal with the
refrigerator? Nope. 106 to the Johnstons. Other answers: food,
cigarettes.
Triple: something that starts with the
word "wonder" (4). Cameron gets #2, Wonder bread. Andrew looks wonderful
for #1. The Wonderbra... surprisingly not there. Wonderland and Wonder
Woman win it for the McFarlands, 411-106.
Fast Money: Linda & Cameron get 118. Jackpot stays at $60,000.
In the nightcap, the Mosses (Cizzle C,
Tiffany, Geraldine, Tomeka, Morgen; $480) challenge the Chaidez (Martha,

Triple:something that motivates a man to start exercising regularly (4).
Tomeka gets the big one, his wife. Health reasons follow. The Chaidez
try to steal with a better sex... Not there! Mosses win, 368-59. Other

Stephen couldn't be caught yesterday in a
low-scoring affair. Now a new day awaits.
Stephen Fineman
Morristown, NJ
science teacher
$6001 |
Lisa Fritsche
Columbia, MO
Sunday school director |
Jennah Durant
Dallas
public affairs specialist |
Stephen starts with $200 Monty
Python Forever. Thanks to some silly walks, dead parakeets, and
the larch, Stephen leads, $3800 to $2400 for Jennah and $1800 for
Lisa. Stephen finds the Daily
Double under $1000 Awards & Honors. He bets his lead, $1600, on this: in
1980, this Norman Mailer book won a Pulitzer, not a pardon. "What is
'Nixon'?" Nope, it was "The Executioner's Song", leaving he and Lisa
tied at $3400. He gets $200 back, but with Lisa at $4400 and Jennah at
$5400, Stephen will be the one to start Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400 "Can"ned Words. Lisa gets the first Daily Double under
$1600 Official State Stuff. She fronts $2000 on this: it's official
state fossil is Chesapecten jeffersonius. "What is Virginia?"
Right for $10,400. Jennah finds the other under $1600 Historic
Nicknames, betting $2000 on "the Knight of the Cloak". "Who Sir
Lancelot?" Nope, Sir Walter Raleigh, leaving her with $3800. Lisa leads
it with $14,000, but at $7600, Stephen can still catch her. Jennah is in
the middle with $9800.
Final Jeopardy! in "Communication": a government website says it's "a
complete complex language... said to be the 4th most commonly used" in
the US. Correct response: what is American Sign Language?
Lisa loses it by questioning "What is Spanish?", giving Jennah the win
with $18,800. Stephen leaves with $7001. |

Merv Griffin's Crosswords

Will the Groundhog pop up his head on
Saturday? Let's see if this show will be an indicator...
Noah Gregoropolis
Improv Teacher
Illinois |
Esther Lindstrom
AmeriCorps Leader
Illinois |
It's a battle of Illinois so far.
Noah has all the money at $550 when an Extra shows up. $500 goes
on the block on this: 'Accountant on Cheers'. Norm gets him up to
$1,050. he has a nice $1,350 to $150 lead on Esther.
But the Spoilers can make any Groundhog's Decision miserable.
Michael Falk
Meteorologist (and former J! Champ)
Wisconsin |
Jim Law
Carpenter
Michigan |
Julie Inman
Performer
California |
Michael spoils...Esther, but at
least at $350, he's in the front row. But it's all Noah when he
finds the Extra at $1,950. He puts up $800 on this - 'Cattail
Site'. Marsh gets him $800 and a $2,750-$350 lead. Jim goes for
the Spoil but gets locked out. Michael finds the second Extra, and
at $750, he has no choice but to gamble the $1,000 max on this -
'Image of a Diety other than G-d'. Icon? No. Idol. Mike drops to
-$250 and it's now a race on who can spoil Noah. So far, no one
can as Noah leads, $4,050 vs. -$250 for Michael.
Round 3: Esther spoils....Michael, which is not the person who
Esther wanted to spoil. Michael's happy, because he gets to spoil
Noah on the very next question. Julie gets to spoil...Esther,
which again is the wrong podium to spoil. She does find the Extra
at $550, and she has to go for $2,000 on this - 'Witches Facial
Blemish; Wart gets her to $2,550, but still far away from
Michael's $4,950...make that Esther's $5,050 as she spoils
Michael...but Noah takes his podium back as time runs out. Noah
wins with $5,250, which is only fitting since he spent the most
time building the money up.
But can he make it $10,250 and a trip to Cabo San Lucas? Yes he
can, and barely does it with seconds to spare. So one of the
better players on the show wins $10,250 and gets the trip. Ok Mr.
Groundhog, it's safe to come out, so do so...please....

It's the first day of February, and the
first contestants in February are Sandra Aguirre, Micheal Resendez,
Reavis Goldsborough, and Lindsay Martin. The first prize of February is
a set of football equipment. It's $1170, as Micheal takes on Credit Card

chance at $10,000 in the Grand Game! The target: $5.75. Visine eye
drops... $5.29! V8... $3.15! Hall's Naturals... $2.15! He goes on,
eventually... with a bottle of Pompeiian olive oil... No. $7.99.
And Drew, ever the showman, wanted to show the prices of the others
before getting around to it. Either way, it's just... bad for Reavis. He
had it with Super Poligrip ($4.99).
Lindsay wins a $678 ping-pong pack, which
she may try to pack in the back a 2008 Ford F150. Not only that, she can

Switcheroo. Here's the board...
Truck - $20,6_2

Foot massager - $_9
The missing numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9.
She goes 9 2 1 5 3... Three right. Switching it around with 5 9 1 2 3.
Down to one right. That one.. a $19 hot plate. The truck was $20,632.
Micheal wins the Showdown by default.
Round 4. Donald Harrison. $3495 catamaran. His. How about a trip to
Ireland? It's either $6259 or $5184. He goes with $6259... It was $5184.

16... Front. 95 and 40... More money. Last chance with a 75. She wins...
$228. The price of the car... $16,509... and El Cheapo claims another
victim.
Last chance for Sandra comes with framed
prints... $1078. Winner... Daniel Wade. Now comes a $2085 floor clock
and a $1999 offroad motorcycle. These are the bargains at Barker's
Bargain Bar. He thinks the motorcycle is the bigger bargain. The clock
is $2785. The motorcycle is $2499. $700 beats $500, and Daniel's beat.
Thanks to Drew, Minnie spins her way to
the Showcase... where we have a living room with carpeting & maid
service and a hot tub. Top winner Micheal passes to Minnie, who bids
$25,000. Micheal goes green with a recycling cabinet, a Mac, and a 2008
Ford Escape hybrid. The bid if $28,000. Actual price: $30,711, a
difference of $2711. Actual price of Minnie's Showcase... $16,057. She's
over. Micheal wins $35,707! |

win a third?
LaMarr

T$141 |
Raquel
Office Manager |
Angela
Bartender |
INSTANT CASH: $500 |
After Speed Round #1: LaMarr - $25 Raquel
- $20 Angela - $15
After all 3 contestants miss a question on answering a Fastest Finger
question to get to the Hot Seat (BOOOOOOOooooo) we get Instant Bargain
#1: A Pilates Package and a 32 inch LCD HDTV for $1,274. LaMarr can have
it for $10. Rossi makes it $8 and adds $100 LaMarr buys it - and quite
frankly, he needs the Pilates package. I don't know if he needs a second
LCD HDTV, but hey, that's his choice. Angela, who doesn't need the
Pilates Package (yowzers) gets Jennifer Love Hewitt in the Fame Game for
a $10 lead.
Knock-Off Subject: TV Moms. LaMarr - Edith Bunker - $2. Raquel - Carol
Brady - $2. Angela - Monica Geller - $2. LaMarr - Louise Jefferson -
$10. Raquel - Wilma Finstone - $2Angela - Carmela Sorano - $5. LaMarr -
Debra Barone - $5. Raquel - Nikki Sanders - $15! Angela - Elyse Keaton -
$5.
After Knock Off: LaMarr - $34 Raquel - $39 Angela - $42
Instant Bargain #2: 3 Days in Washington DC. Only 3 Days? This lame trip
is $1,625 but Angela can have it for $8. Rossi makes it $7 and Angela
takes it.
After Speed Round #2: LaMarr - $39 Raquel - $49 Angela - $40
LaMarr is Buzzer Ninja at a little over .500, which means that Raquel
gets to play Instant Cash for $9. She goes for it and selects...$100.
Magic Money was in the Red Wallet and we'll see $1,000 tomorrow. Who
will we see in Shopper's Paradise Today?
After Speed Round #3: LaMarr - $69 Raquel - $30 Angela - $50
LaMarr is again surprised. So am I. Regardless, he wins. Raquel leaves
with $100 while Angela leaves to embark to Washington DC. LaMarr can
attempt to win one of these things in Shoppers Paradise...

Super Knock Off Subject: Wedding
Anniversary Gifts. In order for LaMarr to have ANY shot at the car, he
needs to do well here. Diamond - $25. Silver - $25. Gold - $25. LaMarr...quits.
He would have said Ruby, China and Coral - and he would have swept the
board. Ouch.
LaMarr does have $285, which is enough to go to Antigua with a Digital
Camera. He could come back, but with needing $650 in the last 2 shows
for the Lexus, we can safely say that the car is out of reach. The
Bedroom, $430 away, is gettable. With that, LaMarr decides to go to
Antigua. He leaves with $8,230 in gifts and goodies. Three new
contestants on Monday. |

excited to solve too! Let's see if she can get more with her best friend
to end the week! Pat jokes that Caitlin calls the P now. She lands on
the B. And we have FOOD AND DRINK to deal with. With the RSTLNE and
their choices of G C H A we have:
_ C _ N G
And this puzzle was ICING on the cake of their bonus round win of

Chad Justen (Toledo, OH) has $2,000 and 2
lifelines, but still no luggage, going into today's show.
[$8,000]
The ancient port of Byzantium is the site of which of these present-day
cities?
A: Beirut
B: Rome
C: Athens
D: Istanbul
Though he has an inkling, Chad calls his friend, John. He says it's D.
But just to make sure, Chad uses the 50:50, leaving C and D. He locks in
D... and they're both right!
[$25,000]
Featured in the movie "Dead Poets Society," the famous line "I sound my
barbaric yawp" was penned by what poet?
A: E.E. Cummings
B: Allen Ginsberg
C: Walt Whitman
D: T.S. Eliot
Chad says that C is jumping out at him, and that he's sure it isn't A or
B. But he's not sure enough to go for it, so Chad walks with $16,000! As
it turns out, though, it was indeed C.
Tim Hastings (Tonowanda, NY): He's a disc jockey, and before they start,
he wants to rub the million dollar check for good luck. He then acts
like he's about to take off with it. Heh.
Well, he can at least take off with $1,000 once he's done here. Moments
after securing that amount, he gets to this...
[$16,000]
"Great Lake State" is a common nickname for a U.S. state that also goes
by which of these monikers?
A: Gopher State
B: Badger State
C: Wolverine State
D: Beaver State
Tim asks the audience, and 59% are thinking C. Though he originally
didn't think that option made sense, he trusts them... and they're
right!
[$25,000]
In fancy restaurants, which of the following is often known as an
"amuse-bouche"?
A: After-dinner drink
B: Small appetizer
C: Dessert plate
D: Basket of bread
He's leaning towards D, but Tim decides to use the 50:50. Guess what? A
and B remain. He then calls his brother, Rob, and he says, "Tiny bite
sized morsel served before the Hors D'oeuvre or the first course of a
meal." In other words, B. Tim goes with that... and he has $25,000!
Then, after he switches out a question, this pops up...
[$50,000] (Q)
Which of these characters was not an opponent in Nintendo's popular
boxing video game "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!"?
A: Von Kaiser
B: Super Macho Man
C: Soda Popinski
D: Max Payne
Tim says he remembers this game, then says B... but he didn't remember
it well enough. It's D! Well, at least he can take off with $25,000! And
with that, we're done for the week.
On Monday, they're bringing out the double Hot Seat for Wedding Week!
Don't miss it! |
