LEVEL 1: BRAIN TEASE
- Playing with Your Food for 10... You're on the top row, you missed it. Goulds & Crews get 10.
- Sumo Wrestling for 25... Garths got a little number happy entering 22 instead of 2. They're still scoreless.
- Movie Hotshot for 50... Shaughnessys and Crews miss. Goulds lead with 85 to Eggerts' 75, Garths' 50, Crews' 35, and Shaughnessys' 25.

For 100... The Plane That Runs on Beans... And the Crews family is wrong to Braindrain out with a $1000 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and a TigerDirect camcorder.

LEVEL 2: BRAIN FART
Today's Super Fantastic True Chronicle of Truth That Is Absolutely True is full of celebrity pets on TV. The Eggerts & Garths are cancelled with a $1500 donation, but the Goulds & the Shaughnessys are still on the air for...

KNOCKOUT ROUND
Charles & Josie set up Sudden Death.... but get it back to win! The Goulds will donate $3000 to Save the Children, while Ed, Luca, and Dylan leave with a Philips portable TV with DVD player.

LEVEL 3: BRAIN TRIP
For making it this far, the family gets a $5000 donation to the First Tee Program. As for prizes, Charles & Josie are playing for a Eureka camping package, Rossignol snowboards, and a Sportcraft billiards table. We have 17.9 seconds for a six-grid... because Charles forgets to stop the clock. That mistakes proves deadly as they Braindrain with a camping set and snowboards.

The BrainSurge premieres keep coming next time...

CHAMPIONS
Nagle

Rick, Kim, Dan, Ryan, Renee
Boston
$20,000
Bogany
Larry, Lakis, LaTasha, Lamika, Tarrance
Houston

SINGLE: something a man might be embarrassed to admit that he wears. (#1 answer was not said by either family.)

1. Women's undies/clothes24  5. Tighty-whities 7
2. Toupee 17 6. Makeup 5
3. Man's girdle 15
4. Thong 12


SINGLE: besides sleepwalking, something you'd hate to find out you did while you're sleeping.

1. Snore 27                  5. Drool 5
2. Talk/Curse 22             6. Drive 4
3. Wet bed/floor 19          7. "Let one go" 3
4. Eat 11


DOUBLE: an occupation where you wouldn't want to be their first customer.

1. Surgeon/Physician 25      5. Pushy salesman 7
2. Dentist 17                6. Hairdresser/Barber 7
3. Nurse 9
4. Coroner/Mortician 9

TRIPLE: something that falls between the car seats, never to be seen again.

1. Money/Change 74
2. Food/Crumbs 11
3. Pen/Pencil 8
4. A lighter 3


The Nagle family only got the #1 answer and took control on the last board, and the Bogany family would get #2 for the steal and the win, 340-64,

Lakis & Larry take on the run for Fast Money. They each had a difficult time to answer what baby boomers do to fight Father Time, as sex and cry didn't score and many of the other answers didn't score many points either and could only get halfway, or a total of $500.

Fast Money #1 answers
- Something a man wears that his wife might not know the exact size he needs: Hat
- What percentage of America wish their love life was better?: 50% (Lakis)
- A fruit that begins with the letter P: Pineapple (Larry)
- Something baby boomers do to fight Father Time: Plastic surgery
- Something you do that wastes a lot of water: Take a shower/bath


In the nightcap, returning champions Stewart family are up against the Jaeck (sounds like Jake) family.

The Stewarts had no problems getting the steal on the last board on naming a place where people are asked to rise. There was church, school and ball game and with the #2 answer left up there, the Stewarts know that when the judge enters, people rise in court and that got them another victory.

Darryl & Felicia play Fast Money once again. Darryl had a slow start and also said 18 is too old for a kid to be on Santa's lap. The other three answers got him 89. Felicia had too many weak answers on her side and couldn't get it done. But the family now has a three-day total of $21,590.

  The next Tournament of Champions will be held in three weeks' time. Win or lose, Joon is going to be your #1 seed in it.
 
SEVEN DAY CHAMPION
Joon Pahk

Somerville, MA
college physics teacher
$199,000
Katie Proctor
Hendersonville, NC
stay-at-home mom
Leigh Wishner
The Bronx, NY
antique textile & costume specialist

Joon starts with $200 Buchanan, James Buchanan. At the TV timeout, he's up to $3600 to Katie's $1600. Leigh is currently on negative numbers at -$200.

Last clue in the round belongs to Leigh with $1000 Childhood Health. She can move into second, but she bets only $1000 on this from Dr. Oz... "Kids will feel full & maintain energy if they eat 7 to 10 grams each morning of this part of a balanced diet; it doesn't have to be in cereal--1 pear alone has 5 grams." Notice he didn't say apple. Just saying. "What is carbohydrate?" Fiber drops her to $1200. With Katie at $3600 and Joon at $6400

... with $400 Say Cheese!, finding the first Daily Double under $800 National Anthems. She bets $500 on this: Vatican City's anthem says "O noble Rome, you are the seat of" this apostle, "whose blood was shed in Rome". "Who is Peter?" Correct for $3700. Maybe she'll bet more with the second Daily Double, $1200 Century of the Crime. She bets... $1500 on the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat. "What is the 18th Century?" Could've had the lead, still has $6000. She drops to $5600 to Joon's $13,200. Katie dominates the round with $17,600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Art & State Capitals": the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, home to the largest permanent collection of her words, is in this state capitals. Correct response: what is Santa Fe, NM?

Joon is counting on Katie to miss... She doesn't, and she wins with $26,401! Joon will return in three weeks, but for now, he leaves with $201,000.

Yesterday we gave away nearly $70,000 in cash and prizes...can we do better on this winning Wednesday? We start with one person who is Tracey the maid. She is playing the ATM game. She can make one withdrawal...or take the Big Box. The leftover goes to Tiana the Cowgirl. Tracey goes with the ATM. Tiana gets the box and offered $700 to take the box. She passes on the money is going to Vegas baby at the Bellagio for 4 days from vegas.com worth $3,700! Tracey is offered curtain #1 for her ATM Card. The leftover goes to Eileen the Gypsy.

Next up are Briyana the pizza and Francisco the workout guy. They are playing Dice Duel for up to $15,000. Here is how it works. Similar to High Rollers, they have boxes 2-12 on the stage. Roll a box, you keep the cash inside it. But you can't roll the same number twice. Roll it twice and you lose your cash and the other person wins. Each player has a free roll card if they roll a bad number. Briyana goes first and gets 6 which is worth $600. Francisco rolls a 4 for $1,100. Briyana rolls 5 for $700. She has $1,300.

Will she keep the bookmark or Tiffany's $995 Valentino Purse with something inside it. She keeps the purse....and the bookmark was $3,750! Ouch. Inside the purse was a fresh fish sandwich (ZONK). Next we need a poetry lover. We find Rodney who is the director and founder of the West Tennessee Mass Choir. Wayne has Curtain #1 and the poetic clue from Jonathan has something to do with "the invention of the wheel, and while you will scoot, you wont have to walk." He is offered $800 and its a Piaggio Fly Scooter worth $3,489!

Two people are dealing in this segment. Julie the Safari girl, and Jeffrey the male cheerleader. They are partners and have to decide and agree. They will both get the prize. The big box's clue is HOT POTATO while Curtain #2 is COUCH POTATO. They pick COUCH POTATO and HOT POTATO was a gas grill worth $984. Will they keep COUCH POTATO or Curtain #3 which is FRENCH FRIES. They keep COUCH POTATO and pass on large ZONK FRENCH FRIES. (ZONK). Individual decisions...keep COUCH POTATO or the ? Envelope. They both keep #2. And the envelope was a trip to Mt. Rushmore on a 8 day tour worth $4,500. Curtain #2 is a trio of HDTV's....a 51" Plasma HDTV, a 40" LCD TV and a 32" LED LCD TV worth $2,449!

Annie the tourist is playing Gold Rush for a 2011 Chevy Cruze LS worth $17,455! You know how it goes...8 boxes...6 gold, 2 zonks. She needs to get 5 in a row. She starts with 6...and has $500. #3 blows her back down to zero. She still can win the car. #1 is gold, $500. She moves on to 7 and doubles to $1,000. She moves on to 8...and loses everything....BOOM.

Natalie the basketball player is given a small box by Jonathan with no clue or Wayne's _____ ROOM behind Curtain #3. The leftover goes to Opera Singer Tyler (who really can sing). She takes the curtain and its BEDROOM. A new bedroom set/mattress/and Bose Music System worth $6,195 is what Natalie has! Tyler is offered $800...and passes. The Box...has a teenie weenie tree (ZONK). Tyler sings his way to a $200 consolation prize.

Who will trade their prize for a shot at $28,388? It's Tracey and her $6,349 gaming suite!

She picks 3. 1 had the vault worth $2,345. #2 had a trip to Aspen with snowboards and a trip to Brazil...which was the BIG DEAL worth $28,388! She wins a pair of retro appliances with refrigerator and four burner range worth $6,990!
