Remember, former U.S. "Temptation" host Rossi Morreale has that same position for this show. The contesti:
Iris Hill and Terrence Terrell (L.A.)- She's a dance instructor, while he's a college admissions representative
Bre and Tara (Boulder, CO)- Bre's a makeup entrepreneur, while Tara's an advertising executive
Drew & Derek (Seattle)- Musicians
Wilson & Sharon Monterro (brother/sister from Tampa)- He's a boxer, whereas she's a radio personality
Ross & Brett (Venice Beach)- A pair of online bloggers who frequently post videos on YouTube
Chekesha & Tiffany (NYC)- A couple of models, NCAA Division I female basketball players & best friends originally from Houston, TX
The big winners after six episodes will not only each win their own redesigned 2013 Ford Escape, but $50K apiece as well. To help each of these teams, they'll get their own social online network to help them out in their stunts. iJUSTINE is the co-host.
Opening Challenge: The social networks are being asked to give their teams as many valid five-letter words as possible.
First Urban Challenge: Using their Escape's MapQuest service, they need to meet Rossi on top of a roof at 737 Terminal Street in L.A to play a life-sized version of "hanging with friends" from zynga. One teammate will be harnessed to a swing near the edge of the building, while their partners try to guess the letters of their opponents' designated words one letter at a time. Each right letter means that balloon in their mystery word pops and the player hanging will be pushed further back. Once a team's word is guessed, they're eliminated from the challenge and the designated player will drop about 100 feet to the ground.

At least for this challenge, finishing a challenge in last place will get you NO points. Each successive position's worth 20 points more than the one below it (so first's worth 100 & fifth's worth 20).
Interactive Challenge: Put on a live streaming talent show within 20 minutes.
Escape Challenge: At Fullerton Airport's Air Combat USA base, the six teams battle it out in a one-hit dogfight tournament. In the first round, the team w/ the fastest winning time will earn a bye to the final round.

"The Ultimate Fighter Live" 3/30
SECOND-ROUND FIGHT #3: Myles Jury vs. Al Iaquinta
Referee: Josh
Jon's "MLB 12: The Show" Keys to Victory:
Myles: Dictate the pace & defend the overhand rights
Al: Stay on the offensive & keep it standing
Tale of the Tape:
Age: 23/24
Height: 5'11"/5'9"
Weight: 154/155
Reach: 74"/68.5"
MMA Record: 9-0/5-1-1
R1: After Al put him in a sick submission hold with about a minute left...Myles comes back w/ a big back suplex to likely take that round.
R2: The bout's temporarily stopped 11 seconds into the round because of a low blow to Al...& even though Myles scores a takedown late in regulation, we're going on!
SUDDEN VICTORY: Al's early beatdown of Myles should just about do it...
...it ends in a split decision, but Al still WINS w/ the last two judges! The sole judge that scored it 10-9 in Myles' favor was Adelaide Byrd.

He loses his turn immediately by calling N for negative while on the Wild Card. Second, Kym calls two T's to put $1,600 in her bank, but has to give it right back because of the Bankrupt next to $2.5K. Third, Sara calls a second dud of S. Fourth, Dennis calls for two R's to pick up the S.K. wedge & a $300 L, then he buys three E's & calls a $2.5K C before buying two A's & landing the LaT. After Kym gets the same fate from her previous spin of the wheel, Sara takes the $900 D at the end, the $800 G at the start and the $1K pair of F's while on Jackpot...

Sara secondly Free PLAYS three E's but then Bankrupts out next to $3.5K. Third, Dennis lights a $500 P for the blue 1/2 KIA, & quadruples the cash w/ three L's before spinning LaT for his second time. Kym tries again but records her third Bankrupt in a row (and fourth overall; that's her third next to top dollar), giving Sara the chance to call a couple R's for a grand, buy the same number of A's, say an $800 H and purchase two O's before she goes to the board...

Prize Puzzle Round: What Are You Doing?
She calls the two obvious N's for $1K & that blue 1/2 KIA and a $350 G, followed by the buys of four I's and three A's but then a dud of R. Going Dennis' road second is another baddie of S. Third, Kym discovers a $1,200 T pairing, an H for the LuggageOnline gift tag and an E before wisely FPing the sole dummy vowel of O. After a $300 K & the U come a $400 D, a $300 P but then that same Bankrupt, her fifth in total this evening, depriving her of $2,700 in money and luggage. Sara follows all of that w/ the back-to-back Z's for six more crisp pictures of Mr. Franklin...

Pat & Vanna talk about the show's April Fool's Day past to end this week.
J!: Beau Henson could be at least a four-time champ at the expense of:
Ruth Robbins (Jacksonville, NC)- Stay-at-home mom

Friday's Base Topics:
WILD CATS
HERBS & SPICES
NOTABLE NAMES
SOLVE FOR "EX"
IT'S ALL RELATIVE
RECORD BREAKERS
Beau goes Daily Double Hunting quickly in the middle of the "EX" clues...& gets it at the end of the Wild Cats w/ a Lock Game Territory-quality score of $2,800, while Sarah has $200. He goes w/ this clue's face value:
The cougar has the Guinness (World) Record for most other names in English, over 40, including this four-letter name.
"What is Puma?"...also the name of a clothing & consumer goods manufacturer, that's right to make his score $3,800. It's down to $3,200 at the timeout, but he's still $2K ahead of Ruth; Sarah's $800 in negative territory. The time's up signal goes off before we end the round w/ the $1K It's All Relative answer.
ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,400
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $3,800
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $5,200
Post-R1 Scores:
Beau & Ruth: $2,600 each (following an incorrect response reversal by Ruth on a $1K clue, which means the champion's starting Double Jeopardy! because he's furthest to the left of the two tied contestants)
Sarah: $2,800

Beau goes DDH right away in this round of play in the center of Poe's Prose...it takes him a while, but he does pick up his second of this game courtesy of the $1,200 Language of South America & he's back in LGT w/ $7,400; Ruth's at $3,200 & Sarah's close behind her w/ $2,600. He makes this clue worth $2.5K:
W/ 1.5M speakers, Italian's this country's second-most spoken language; Arabic's third and German's fourth.
"What is...Chile?"...nope, it was Argentina, so he's kicked back out of LGT to $4,900. He does sweep those DDs & after choosing the last one in the center screen of Michael at the Mike w/ $8,900 (Sarah stands at $4,600 & Ruth trails her by a thou). For two more C-notes & to move back in LGT:
Last year, this singer said of his band's breakup "We have to thank all the people who helped us...for these 31 years".
"Who is Michael Stipe?"...that was indeed the lead singer of R.E.M. we were looking for to send the champ to $10,900 w/ less than a minute on the round's clock! It runs out prior to the last three Record Destroyers being talked about.

RR put "What is Texas?"...she wasn't confident & for good reason- she drops to a buck. Sarah Curtis guessed "What is New York"...good enough for the $14K & the win. Beau Henson, who thought of TN, leaves us w/ $53,202.

After a $300 K & the U come a $400 D, a $300 P but then that same Bankrupt, her fifth in total this evening, depriving her of $2,700 in money and luggage. Sara follows all of that w/ the back-to-back Z's for six more crisp pictures of Mr. Franklin...

Pat & Vanna talk about the show's April Fool's Day past to end this week.
J!: Beau Henson could be at least a four-time champ at the expense of:

Friday's Base Topics:
WILD CATS

IT'S ALL RELATIVE
RECORD BREAKERS
Beau goes Daily Double Hunting quickly in the middle of the "EX" clues...& gets it at the end of the Wild Cats w/ a Lock Game Territory-quality score of $2,800, while Sarah has $200. He goes w/ this clue's face value:
The cougar has the Guinness (World) Record for most other names in English, over 40, including this four-letter name.
"What is Puma?"...also the name of a clothing & consumer goods manufacturer, that's right to make his score $3,800. It's down to $3,200 at the timeout, but he's still $2K ahead of Ruth; Sarah's $800 in negative territory. The time's up signal goes off before we end the round w/ the $1K It's All Relative answer.
ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,400
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $3,800
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $5,200
Post-R1 Scores:
Beau & Ruth: $2,600 each (following an incorrect response reversal by Ruth on a $1K clue, which means the champion's starting Double Jeopardy! because he's furthest to the left of the two tied contestants)
Sarah: $2,800
Next on Tap:
POE'S PROSE
17TH CENTURY SCIENCE
KROSSWORD KLUES "K"
MICHAEL AT THE MIKE
LANGUAGES OF SOUTH AMERICA
RECORD DESTROYERS
Beau goes DDH right away in this round of play in the center of Poe's Prose...it takes him a while, but he does pick up his second of this game courtesy of the $1,200 Language of South America & he's back in LGT w/ $7,400; Ruth's at $3,200 & Sarah's close behind her w/ $2,600. He makes this clue worth $2.5K:
W/ 1.5M speakers, Italian's this country's second-most spoken language; Arabic's third and German's fourth.
"What is...Chile?"...nope, it was Argentina, so he's kicked back out of LGT to $4,900. He does sweep those DDs & after choosing the last one in the center screen of Michael at the Mike w/ $8,900 (Sarah stands at $4,600 & Ruth trails her by a thou). For two more C-notes & to move back in LGT:
Last year, this singer said of his band's breakup "We have to thank all the people who helped us...for these 31 years".
"Who is Michael Stipe?"...that was indeed the lead singer of R.E.M. we were looking for to send the champ to $10,900 w/ less than a minute on the round's clock! It runs out prior to the last three Record Destroyers being talked about.
ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $4,400
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $3,200

RR put "What is Texas?"...she wasn't confident & for good reason- she drops to a buck. Sarah Curtis guessed "What is New York"...good enough for the $14K & the win. Beau Henson, who thought of TN, leaves us w/ $53,202.

Jay Ben correctly answers Where on Earth is the Video Daily Double? Under its $600 clue & he has $2,200; Richie has the six bills. He's going for the $4,400 doubler:
The Tower of the Great Opening Hotel's in Khartoum in this country.
"What is Sudan?"...Khartoum's indeed its capital for the $4,400! He's added half that score to that once we reach the first break, while Richie's gotten to the $1K mark; however, Beau's $400 in the hole.

Richie's road to getting rich has reached a crucial point- him finding a DD w/ $8K attached to the $1,600 Philosophical Metaphor during such a spree. He's $600 behind Beau for second & is $2,400 out of the lead. For another five big ones & the lead, here's the clue for Richie:
In a work of political philosophy, hobbies compared "The great power of..." man's governor to this Biblical beast.
"What is the Behemoth?"...NO. It was The Leviathan & his bank's cut to $3K. Jay Ben's second & final DD this match comes from the middle spot under They Came From Ohio w/ about a minute left in this round of play & he's barely leading the champ, $13,600-$12,600; Richie's far behind them at $3,800. To move back in front w/ a $4K bet:
An elementary school in Lorain, OH is named for this woman from Lorain, who's both a Pulitzer & Nobel Prize winner.
"Who is Rachel Carson?"...heeeeeeeeeeere's bad news for Jay Ben- her name was Toni Morrison instead, meaning he has a $3K deficit between him & Beau.

RR's response to that answer was "What is Neptune?"...BUSTED. Jay Ben Markson almost agreed w/ Richie, but he wrote "What is Mercury?"...Ford's now-defunct mid-luxury line name is GOOD FOR THE DOUBLER TO $23,200...but Beau Henson's won for the third time at $23,201! Three-day total: $51,202.

J!: No joke- Beau Henson's a two-time champ on this program (he's an actor originally from Mt. Carmel, IL). But challenging him are two more guys:
Richie Rodriguez (Haywood, CA)- Mechanical engineer
Jay Ben Markson (originally from Lakeville, MA)- Also an actor
For real, here are Thursday's first six:

RUNNING ON "N.T."
THE FIRST EPISODE
WHERE ON EARTH...?
Jay Ben correctly answers Where on Earth is the Video Daily Double? Under its $600 clue & he has $2,200; Richie has the six bills. He's going for the $4,400 doubler:
The Tower of the Great Opening Hotel's in Khartoum in this country.
"What is Sudan?"...Khartoum's indeed its capital for the $4,400! He's added half that score to that once we reach the first break, while Richie's gotten to the $1K mark; however, Beau's $400 in the hole.
SOLE TS OF THE ROUND (attempted): $600 (N.T.)
Post-J! Round Scores:
Beau: $3,400
Jay Ben: $9,200 (Lock Game Territory Alert)

PHILOSOPHICAL METAPHORS
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Richie's road to getting rich has reached a crucial point- him finding a DD w/ $8K attached to the $1,600 Philosophical Metaphor during such a spree. He's $600 behind Beau for second & is $2,400 out of the lead. For another five big ones & the lead, here's the clue for Richie:
In a work of political philosophy, hobbies compared "The great power of..." man's governor to this Biblical beast.
"What is the Behemoth?"...NO. It was The Leviathan & his bank's cut to $3K. Jay Ben's second & final DD this match comes from the middle spot under They Came From Ohio w/ about a minute left in this round of play & he's barely leading the champ, $13,600-$12,600; Richie's far behind them at $3,800. To move back in front w/ a $4K bet:
An elementary school in Lorain, OH is named for this woman from Lorain, who's both a Pulitzer & Nobel Prize winner.
"Who is Rachel Carson?"...heeeeeeeeeeere's bad news for Jay Ben- her name was Toni Morrison instead, meaning he has a $3K deficit between him & Beau.

On March 17, 2011, a probe called Messenger became the first spacecraft to orbit this planet.
RR's response to that answer was "What is Neptune?"...BUSTED. Jay Ben Markson almost agreed w/ Richie, but he wrote "What is Mercury?"...Ford's now-defunct mid-luxury line name is GOOD FOR THE DOUBLER TO $23,200...but Beau Henson's won for the third time at $23,201! Three-day total: $51,202.

3/28/2012 Results
LMaD: I've just realized something during these Super Deal episodes- apparently, at least one deal gets edited out of any broadcast when the SD comes into play. Yesterday, although Christopher went home w/ a $17.5K car & $3,900 to maybe buy some pizza from the pizza joint he works for after graduating from school, Wesley completely bombed out on the SD while in Big Deal Land, losing $23,093 worth of vehicles after giving up a near-$17K automobile that he won early on in that episode. Wednesday's BD has a price of $23,175.
This is the third time this season we're playing Spell the Car's Name for that 2012 Ford Fiesta S (Curtain #3); Rebecca (who says she needs to go to the bathroom & wants to replace her 25-year-old car) & Kimberly (dressed as a nurse who has no ride at all) are the ladies playing for it this morning.

Kimberly: BAILOUT W/ $1.5K ($1,550 to help her buy a scooter)
Rebecca finally declines $2K to choose #4 for the month of April & that A's behind...#1.
Getting $700 in betting money apiece to begin the second deal are Theryn (a girl dressed as a giant white box of playing cards), Todd Aspegren (dressed as a #2 beekeeper) & Valerie.
BIG BOX: Valerie ($700)- Giant mouse trap w/ that gorilla behind it

Jerwin's Fast Deal Decision (he's wearing a dog hat): SMALL BOX (Jonathan; travel)($500)- AmericanAirlines round-trip airline travel for two w/ a pair of BOSE QuietComfort 15 headphones ($2,100)
CURTAIN #3- '12 Polaris TrailBlazer ATV ($4,799)
Martha, a college student, will face the Inkblot Deal. The only one on offer's the one for CURTAIN #1, but she goes all the way w/ the SILVER ENVELOPE.
CURTAIN #1: Camouflaged car (some of the Peanut Gallery correctly thought it was some kind of automobile)
SB (Jonathan): Trip to the Rosedon Hotel ($6,022)
SE: DEALER'S DELIGHT- Chevrolet Sonic 1LS HB (CURTAIN #2)($15,395)
Celeste, a retail vintage saleswoman, picked the perfect time to get chosen w/ a piggy bank in her hand, because she's playing Smash for Ca$h.

#2- Home office w/ Apple electronics & SAMSUNG 40" HDTV ($6,465)
#3- Trip to Argentina (included six nights at their wine country)
To start the aired Quickie Deals, Sue (dressed as a Cheesehead) is asked by Jonathan to pick a number from 0-9 & she chooses six. Unfortunately, the only credit card she's got doesn't end in that number & she loses out on $100 for every card that did end w/ the selected number.Vanessa (dressed as a spa lady) does manage to pull out a small cocktail umbrella for the $500 twitter wad held by Tiffany, while Jessica (dressed as Brooke Hogan w/ a mustache) can't pull out an actual book or magazine for $200.

TOTAL WINNINGS: $69,999
WoF: W/ Pat's reported guarantee at the end of last night's episode, I wouldn't be too surprised if one of the two remaining America's Game Weeks this season has at least one $100K win, given the way they've been going this season as compared to Season 28.

He gets four T's for 12 bills, buys an I & grabs two N's for another $1,600 & Free PLAYS an E, then he purchases four A's, calls an L for the Wild Card & buys the other two vowels before repeating the N. Minnie can't take advantage of that mistake, as she loses a turn on the Million Dollar Wedge's right side. As for Yeganeh, she calls the $600 pair of M's...

Prize Puzzle Round: Phrase
Beginning Yeganeh's next turn is the same Bankrupt of the MDW. Second for Ryan is its other Bankrupt, so there goes his WC. Third, Minnie puts in $1,200 worth of two T's but then calls a dud in H. Fourth, Yeganeh has an S for the LuggageOnline gift tag but that's wiped off the board by the Bankrupt next to where the WC formerly was. Ryan next finds a $300 N, a $550 Y, four E's & a $300 P before trying for the mystery vacation...

R4: Thing
After spinning the wheel again, he wastes a spin on the Bankrupt next to top dollar; that's his second of the night. Minnie secondly digs up two T's & an H at $350 per appearance, quadruple E's but then a negative of L. Third for Yeganeh are a $600 S, an $1,100 N pairing, the same amount of A's, the same quantity of R's for $600 extra but then a dummy letter of M. After Ryan hits the regular Bankrupt from earlier in the match (that's his third), Minnie then puts the trip P's for $900 additional & we're headed to Last Chance Mode late on this puzzle...

This is the third time this season we're playing Spell the Car's Name for that 2012 Ford Fiesta S (Curtain #3); Rebecca (who says she needs to go to the bathroom & wants to replace her 25-year-old car) & Kimberly (dressed as a nurse who has no ride at all) are the ladies playing for it this morning.

To start the aired Quickie Deals, Sue (dressed as a Cheesehead) is asked by Jonathan to pick a number from 0-9 & she chooses six.
