SPEEDROUND:
The fighting Leathernecks of the Marines (Matt, Joshua,
Christopher, John, and Derreck) take on the world's greatest Army
(Randy, John, Lynea, Jason, and Jude) in day three of Armed Forces
Week. We triple the score with what country 100 single women
thought had the most exciting men. John's Italy beats Jason's
France, 2-3. Rest of the Marines thought about the USA. Army
rogers a steal of Germany. But they should've rogered a steal of
England, as the Marines take it, 392-75.
Christopher and John go
to Fast Money, coming ever so close to $20,000, but they only
score 192 for $960.

Just Ain't Right Week: X:
Ted Wells. O:
Andrea Clark ($12,006).
Martin gets first
billing, there's a shopping cart on stage, Charlene's SS reveal is
upside down, the marquee scrolls backwards on screen, Melissa
wears curlers, Tom wears glasses, and all the squares for the
final shot are empty in this mistake-ridden episode, where Ted
takes round 1 from yesterday's show. He connects Warren, Martin,
and Baba Booey for $1000.
We're going to a Secret
Square of a gift certificate from TicketsNow.com. As stated
before, Charlene has it. No one chooses her, but Tom runs for
cover as the overly excitable Ted connects Doris, Baba Booey, and
Gilbert for $1000 more. Andrea leaves with $12,006
The blushing steamer
trunk logs some more miles still as we try to send Ted to Paris.
He runs the board, connecting Michael, Warren, Melissa, Charlene,
and Gilbert for five keys spotted. He goes northeast... and
everyone runs for cover while Ted does a happy dance. The trip to
Paris put him at $12,745.
Francie Cartalano,
originally from Long Island, is poised to become the new champ if
this pattern holds. But Ted takes the first game with a
straight-away of Doris, Martin, and Melissa for $1000.
Second Secret Square
game has Dr. Gadget hawking a Mitsubishi HDTV. Michael has it in
his square. Ted finds him, as together they have to identify an H2
yearbook picture of Annette Bening. They can... and Ted's excited
again. This game of Tic-Tac Dough will have to be continued on
tomorrow's show.

SPEEDROUND:
Final Jeopardy! Category: Classic Movies.
Answer: A 35-foot-long Muslin stocking was used to create the
cyclone for this 1939 film. Correct response: What is "The Wizard
of Oz"?
Tucker Warriner didn't
have to risk a lot of money, as he lead by more than twice as much
money than his opponents to secure himself a big pay day with
$19,600. But he should feel embarrassed with a huge moan from the
crowd, not knowing the clue in Final Jeopardy! (he thought it was
"Gone With The Wind").

On the eve before
another controversy erupts on American Idol, we have Jordan
Lowery, Jeanette Robinson, Nicholas Bishop, Sandra Highlands - and
a floor clock worth $2,325. Jeanette wins that, and she will be
making her move to win a coffee maker, a violin and a poster bed.
The numbers are 820307470, and Jeanette puts the coffee maker at
70, the violin at 820 and the bed at 3074. She is...right!
Christopher Cabali is also looking to be right - and he can start
by being right on a chandelier. It is Sandra that is right on the
$599 chandelier, and it is Sandra who can win A NEW FORD FOCUS
SE!!! She plays the Hole In One (or Two) game, and she gets all of
the products right for a $500 bonus! She doesn't even need Bob's
inspirational putt - which is a good thing, because he misses it.
She easily taps it in for the win!
Jeanette Gray will try to keep things rolling by winning a set of
golf clubs - but Christopher wins the $986 clubs. He can continue
winning and add a barbecue (1,897) and a bar set (1099) if he
knows whether to keep the prices or switch them. He keeps the
prices as is - and the win streak ends because he's wrong. The
streak continues for Jeanette, as she amasses $6,000 on the wheel
and moves on to the Showcase.
The next person with a shot of amassing goodies is Rami Draid -
and one of the goodies that he can amass is a pair of GPS
receivers. The $1,100 receivers go to Jordan, who can also win
$50,000 in PLINKO!!!!! She only gets 3 chips - but she makes a lot
of money with them - $11,100 worth!
Laura Perkins would love $11,100 - but she'd settle for some
ladies jewelry. Rami can impress the ladies with the $685
collection - and he can impress his friends with a treadmill, a
curio cabinet and a dinette set. Which prize is the most
expensive? Rami says the cabinet - and at $2,880, he's right (The
Treadmill was $1,300 and the Dinette was $2,345).
Larraine Fultz gets to join the group and bid on a hammock - and
Nicholas could be sleeping in the $675 item. He could also be
driving in A NEW TRUCK - if he wins the Money Game. The numbers
are 50,. 17, 65, 19, 18, 70, 35, 99, and 85. It takes him to the
bitter end, but he wins the $19,735 truck! He also picks up $6,000
on the wheel, which makes him the Top winner going into the
Showcase...
Where he can bid or pass on power tools, An entertainment center,
and a trailer. Nicholas bids - $20,000 worth, which means that
Jeanette, who gets a living room group, carpeting, a set of
bathing suits and a trip to Fiji, bids $17,000.
Who wins? Nicholas is off by $3,245, while Jeanette is only off by
$2,172. She gets the win and $31,461 - which includes $6,000 in
cash so she can pay out the bills incurred by all of those prizes. -Gordon

Players: Julia
Park (executive assistant) and David Holden (teacher) |
Partners for Battle
of the TV Judges: Judge Larry Joe Doherty ("Texas
Justice") and Judge Marilyn Milian ("The People's Court") |
Judge Larry Joe and
Julia sweep "Actually, I Do Say That to All the Girls" (things you
say to anyone). The last category, "$2000 to See Agassi? What a
Racket!", is the Super Six for a trip to Cancun. Judge Milian and
David need only five things we pay too much for to win. He gets
the five for the win, 15-14, but no trip.
Originally from New
Jersey, David has been teaching English for 14 years. Not only
that, he's a teacher coach. Smart man who deserves $10,000. Judge
Milian gives. At the top, "things that are posted". She tries
bail, a roommate want-ad, the speed limit and a job opening... but
David runs out of time for $1200.
Judge Milian and Julia
sweep "I Graduated from Traffic School Magna Cum Audi" (terms you
hear in traffic school). They only need one in the Super Six under
"You Are Cordially Not Invited to My Party". They get all six,
then Julia and Nancy Gass of Red Oak, IA, win a Sony digital movie
studio. The ladies describe four parties that don't have guests,
winning the game, 15-11.
Julia's friend Tanny is
in the stands as Judge Milian delivers clues in the Winner's
Circle. They pass "kids' (children's) movies" and run out of time
on "goofy things" for $900.

Big screen beasts invade as small-screen smarties Karla, Tyler,
and Mariya face in-studio players Adam and Erin. Erin leads, $1700
to $700, going into the Wager of Death: Telemundo is a TV network
that normally delivers its programming in what language?
Adam and Erin face
Tyler with a two-fer. Tyler gets it wrong with "Japanese" (that
would be "Spanish"). Erin loses a little to go to $1400. Adam gets
his bet right and doubles up to force a tiebreaker. The question:
According to the old saying, what wasn't built in a day? Adam
jumps in to win with Rome.

Kelly Brouges and her mom Kathy Hayes passed
on an attempt to look at a Mystery Wedge for a $10,000 Southwest
Airlines certificate, but it made no difference because after
solving the around the house object LIQUID SOAP DISPENSER, they
advance to the bonus round with $11,100 in cash. They picked good
letters and was able to correctly solve the phrase which is I'M
PROUD OF YOU. They can share another $25,000, for a final total of
$36,100.

Returning in the hot
seat is Cecilia Ling Lee, who reached the $1,000 level and has her
audience and phone-a-friend lifelines left. On the $16,000
question, she asked the audience and calls up Micah, to ask Ron
"Pigpen" McKernan was a founding member of what psychedelic rock
group. Micah said Jefferson Airplane. 41% of the audience said The
Grateful Dead. But Cecilia takes her $8,000 and she should've
never doubted the minority, because they were right. She got
$8,000 knowing that Mount Rainier, a dormant volcano, is in the
state of Washington.
Next up is Erik Sherriff. On the $4,000 question, he asked the
audience to know that vice-president Dick Cheney, was the CEO of
Halliburton. On the $32,000 question, Erik calls up Bill to ask
that fruit is a small and seedless Pure Heart that was introduced
in 2002. Bill said it's cantaloupe....but wasn't fully sure, so
Erik narrows it down by two and the choices were watermelon and
grapefruit. Erik goes for watermelon...and he won't leave with
less than $32,000.
He got to $64,000
before calling it quits on the $125,000 question, as he didn't
know that Idaho is the correct state that once believed to be a
Shoshone Indian word, was actually coined by a Washington
lobbyist.
