LMaD: This is shaping up to be the WORST week in "Let's Make a Deal" history. I really hope we can get a big winner of any kind on the Grammys salute episode. The base item's a 2011 Grammy Nominees CD (Jonathan) w/ cash or a prize on the disc inside.

Shauna (dressed as a dog in the doghouse): CURTAIN #1- Trip to Graceland ($4,294)
Randy (dressed as an old barber): SMALL BOX (Tiffany)- Living room ($7,996)
Mary Anne (dressed as a kangaroo): CD (also turns down $1K)- Scion xD ($16,785)
Big Box- Hip-Hop camel booth

PERFECT ROUND!

Marilyn (dressed as a red devil) is wearing a T-shirt that reads "She's Got the Look" (which is TV Land's rip-off of "America's Next Top Model", BTW) & she's getting a Grammys quiz regarding last year's ceremony. Each correct answer wins her the prize from the corresponding colored box.

(Note: Just after coming out of the first TV timeout, we see a Grammy on a really small turntable.)

Lady GaGa or Justin Bieber- Who won Best Vocal Album?
PICK: Lady GaGa- Nikon digital camera ($900)

Cee-Lo Green or Lady Antebellum- Who won Record of the Year?
PICK: Lady Antebellum- Vendi handbag & BlackBerry Curb 9330 ($1,700)

John Mayer or Bruno Mars- Who won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance?
PICK: Bruno Mars- 3-D laptop w/ $1K SonyMusicPass gift card ($2,800)

THE BIG RISK (CURTAIN #3): NO- Duct-tape sailboat

PERFECT ROUND #2

And now, for this morning's special musical guest- Kenny Loggins! He'll sing "Footloose" during this edition of Dance Me a Deal pitting Nadia (dressed as a cowgirl) against Arnold (dressed as a cow)...Arnold keeps the $1K she wins. However, what was in the Silver Envelope Kenny was holding had...tickets to this Sunday's Grammys as part of a $5,510 vacation package.

Courtney's Fast Deal (she's dressed as ketchup): CURTAIN #2 ("Bad Romance") or BB ("Empire State of Mind")?
DECISION: NEITHER FOR $1K

CURTAIN #2- Broken heart
BB (which was her choice)- Trip to NYC ($5,108)

Richard (dressed as a Canadian biker) could replace his bicycle w/ the Ford Focus S (Curtain #3) if he wins at The New Car Pong. The first half of this playing's under the Go for a Spin rules.

Souvenir T-shirt & poster: Shirt- YES
Boy band & girl group: Boy band- YES
Line dance & mosh pit: Mosh pit- NO

GO ON
FINAL RESULT- WIN AT THE BUZZER IN SIX ATTEMPTS AFTER INITIALLY BOUNCING IN THE NORTHEAST CUP (& Wayne does mention this is the first-ever victory in this deal)!!!!!

(Notes: By this time, the bigger cash amounts on the non-car cups weren't in play & Lenn showed some shots of the original cup layout, which had the word CAR in red on a mostly silver label. In at least this playing, the word CAR was silver on a red background. Later on, all of the cup text will be black on silver.)

This episode's a good time to do the Mystery Music CD Deal. Tasha's here (who's dressed as a construction worker). The prize subject's Curtain #1.

CD Choice: #1- COUNTRY
DECISION: $800 (from Wayne's pocket; these CDs aren't marked w/ money today)- Small kitchen ($2,864)

Lizelle's the last new trader this week (she's dressed as a fitness instructor) & she could keep the SB (Tiffany in front of the middle curtain).

CD Choice: #3- R & B
DECISION: $600- Shoe horn

THE BIG DEAL: Now that we've given away both cars on offer today to salvage the week, let's see if Randy can avert a BIG DEAL SHUTOUT; doing so wins him $24,310 worth of something. He hopes to get lucky on Door #2...but the BD SHUTOUT does happen; he trades all the way down to a $1,995 Crosley jukebox package that includes an iPod & a $250 gift card.

#1- Strong Spa 6
#3- '12 Chevrolet Camaro LS (Std., Tire, Mats)

Adam's incorrect by telling Jonathan that the song "Footloose" was released in '89, when it actually was in '84 & a girl dressed as the character Strawberry Shortcake doesn't give Tiffany a thimble for the $500 twitter wad.

But $49,269 in cash & merchandise was still won today!

Final Prize Wedge This Week: $5K Beyond the Rack gift card
Friday Gift Tag: CONOCO (which presumably means the Tuesday & Wednesday episodes got flip-flopped from their originally intended days)

Meineke Jackpot Round: What Are You Doing?

Patricia first calls for three N's to take the gas card but then spins Lose a Turn. Second, Michele calls a G to take the Million Dollar Wedge, two R's for $600 & a $500 L, then she buys an I & two U's before calling D for dud while on the Wild Card. While third in line, Chelsi calls two T's for her own six Benjamins, buys triple the E's but then loses the remaining $350 to the Bankrupt next to the top dollar space. Patricia regains control & then calls a $500 H for the blue 1/2 KIA before giving that money right back in exchange for the rest of the vowels (an A & two O's) & picking up the gift card wedge w/ the twin C's...

R U N N I N G / T H E

O _ _ T A C L E

FINAL UNCLAIMED JACKPOT THIS WEEK: $6,600

The first letter from Michele after she's prompted to mention her children's names are two N's for the WC, but she forfeits it right back to that same Bankrupt. Second, Chelsi calls an $800 G, purchases trip E's, takes two T's to add $1,200 & buys an I & A, but that previous Bankrupt wipes her out for the second time tonight, this time to the tune of $1,250. Third, Patricia calls four L's for another 1/2 KIA from the same place & 2K bucks, a $350 S & a $1K W couple. After buying five O's to shut down the vowel section...

Right after those are an R & two S's for another $300 each, two Free Play L's for another C-note &...

J!: As you know, the last three competing semi-finalists in the current College Championship are Connie Shi, Zack Terrill & Matt Olson.

Friday's First Half-Dozen Topics:

HISTORIC TRANSPORTS
POTPOURRI
PRE-COLUMBIAN AMERICANS
SUPERHERO MOVIES
SHH! LIBRARIANS!
"K" IS FOR...

When we go to break, Zack leads at $3,800 to Matt's $2,200 & Connie's $3,200 (her previous wrong response on the final Superhero Movies answer was deemed acceptable). But not only is it time to say Shh! Librarians!, we need to say the same thing to the audience after they applaud for Connie selecting the Daily Double from its $400 clue w/ $4,200; she's $800 behind Zack for first place, while Matt's slightly up to $2,600. She wagers $1,200, so for the lead:

As an assistant librarian at Peking University in 1919, he red up on Communist Theory.

"Who is Mao (Zedong)?"...right for $5,400 & a $400 cushion. She's a little more ahead at the conclusion of the J! Round w/ $7,200, compared to Zack's $4,600 & Matt's $4,200.

SOLE TS (unattempted): $800 (Historic Transports)

On Tap for Double J!:

VOLCANOES
COLLEGE BEFORE & AFTER
EPONYMS
EUROPEAN HISTORY
POETIC CHARACTERS
THE GRAMMYS (these answers are about nominees)

Matt could be about to explode w/ excitement, because he's hit one of the DDs w/ $5,800 under the $1,600 clue dealing w/ Volcanoes; Zack's at the $5K mark & Connie's at eight. Matt's attempting to tie the game after Alex poses him this:

In 1944, Allied Forces in Italy had to evacuate an airfield when ash from this volcano damaged planes.

"What is Vesuvius?"...he's got a share of the lead w/ $8K apiece! Late in the round, he's hunting for the last one of the week...& it's his behind the $1,600 Eponym w/ him almost in Lock Game Territory at the $18K plateau! Zack's sitting on $10,200 & Connie has $8,800. This time out, Matt bets 1/3 of his score ($6K in this case) on the following:

Both a horse race & a man's hat are named for Edward Stanley, 12th Earl of this.

"What is Belmont?"...NO. It was Derby, so he's down to 12.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $3,200
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $4,400
TOTAL DJ! LACH TRASH: $7,600

Scores After DJ!:

Matt: $13,200
Zack: $11,800
Connie: $8,800

CORYAT SCORES:

Matt: $18,600
Zack: $11,800
Connie: $8K

FINAL J! CATEGORY: Ancient Quotations.

When Byzantine Emperor Justinian completed Hagia Sophia, he declared, this king "I have surpassd thee".

Connie quickly put down "Who is Constantine?"...for the wrong reason & leaves w/ $10K after falling to $2. Zack wrote out "Who is (King) Midas?"...NOT the golden question here, either, costing him seven thou & he finishes at $4,800. Matt's Q was "Who is Ozymandias?" & yes, he did risk $10,401...BUT HE'S LOST. The correct response was "Who was King Solomon?" & Zack's the only guy in the finals (we see the Zerg Cam for the second time in three nights, too).
