Today is

100 Mexicanos Dijeron by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 8p ET/7p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Allen (Carrie, Ernest, Sherri, Dale, Eloise)
Pomano (Kelly, Holli, Heather, Hailey, Mary); $755

The Pomanos get this mental soccer match going with a Mexican wave...

Round 1: an excuse a girl gives when a girl doesn't want to slow-dance with a man (6). Kelly: "I don't feel very good." It's number 4. Holli: "I have a boyfriend." Number 5. Heather: "I can't dance." Number 3. Hailey: "My feet hurt." Number one! Holli again: "I have to go to the bathroom." The Allens get a shot at it with "ask me later."... Not there! The Pomanos have 66. Other answer: tired.

Round 2: a place where people always try to squeeze one more person (6). Holli like a bus (number three), but Ernest gets the board with a car at number one. Elevators and restaurants also get a squeeze, but the Pomanos lose it with a taxi, giving the Allens 86. Other answers: church pew, concert.

Double Round: a drink served in its own special glass (5). Heather fires with a martini... Number one! Margaritas, beers, champagne, and wine mean a sweep and 238!

Triple Round: something dogs do a lot of doing the dog days of summer (4). Dale benefits from premature buzzer syndrome on Hailey's end, as he gets the top answer of sleep. They don't convert, as the Pomanos get one more shot with... shed. GOT IT! Pomanos win, 370-86. Other answers: pant, drink water.

Hailey and Holli try this Fast Money thing again... and again, they come up short with 154, giving them $770, a two-day total of $1525.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Chris Smith (advertising creative director from Dallas); $15,799
Gerald McClanahan (writer from Los Angeles)
Lucretia Manning (head cashier from Jessup, GA)

Chris narrowly dodged defeat on Friday, but can he put himself in a position to win in earnest today?

He starts with $200 Science, and finds the Daily Double under $600. He bets the max of $1000 on this: in testing out gases by smelling them (not a good idea), Humphry Davy found in 1800 that this one made him feel giddy. "What is nitrous oxide?" Laughing gas, right for $1800 to tie Gerald!

He would use that initial burst to springboard into the lead with $7400 at the half to Gerald's $5200. Lucretia, with $1000, gets to go first in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 The "New" World, with the first Daily Double under $1200. Chris fronts $2400 on this: at over 12,300 feet, Mount Cook is its highest point. "What is New Zealand?" Correct for $11,000! Last category in this round of recent movies (also a category) is The Constant Gardener, and the Daily Double is under $1200. Lucretia bets $1400 on the flower whose name is Latin for "small sword", whose colors range from pure white to deep red. "What is... I don't know." It's a gladiola, which leaves Lucretia with $2000. She'll end with that, as Gerald will end with $9200. Meanwhile, it's Chris's game to lose with $23,400.

Final Jeopardy! in "American History": Henry Laurens, Thomas Mifflin & Richard Henry Lee were presidents of this body that only lasted about 15 years. Correct question: What is the Second Continental Congress?

Chris is the only one right, and the only one to make the big bucks today with $26,400, giving him a two-day paycheck of $42,199.

 
Wheel of Fortune by Jason Block, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
The weather is getting warmer, the snow is melting...it's time for "Spring Break" week on WOF!
 
The $1,000 Tossup is PHRASE. Mick Haralel is from Seymour WI. He is a 8th grade Math Teacher. He solved HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU? for $1,000. Mike Schwartz is from Santa Monica. Joanna Frank is from Chicago. She is an interior design consultant.
 
The $2,000 Tossup is ON THE MAP. Mick is two for two with LAKE HURON for $3,000. He starts this round and we add a trip to the Beacon Hotel in South Beach in Miami worth $4,000. The category is BEFORE AND AFTER. He misses...over to Mike. So does he....over to Joanna. She hits Lose A Turn...back to Mick. He misses a vowel...over to Mike. He hits and picks up the Miami trip and solves STOCK MARKET CRASH DIET for the trip value of $4,000.
 
The jackpot round is sponsored by Meineke. The category is FICTIONAL CHARACTER...and it's a PRIZE PUZZLE. Mike starts. He misses...over to Joanna. She hits a $3,500 T. She hits the Jackpot wedge...and of course can't solve. She misses a vowel...over to Mick. He solves VENUS THE GODDESS OF LOVE for $1,650. And he is going to the home of the Roman Goddess of Love...Rome, Italy. It's a trip from lastminutetravel.com worth $4,000! And if you have the SPIN ID GL00194 you off to the Eternal City...and if you have the Sony Card you have $50,000! That round was worth $5,650 and he is in the lead with $8,650!
 
The mystery round prize is $10,000 courtesy of Radisson Hotels and Resorts. The category is WHERE ARE WE? Joanna starts. She hits and picks up the 1 yr membership to 24 Hour Fitness Gift Tag. She does a lot of work...and hits the mystery wedge...will she risk $6,450...no she doesn't. (It was Bankrupt) She does it again, and if she would have risked it she would have hit it! But she solved CORNFIELDS CEDAR RAPIDS THE HAWKEYE STATE for $9,350. And she added $3,000 for IOWA. So that round put her in the lead with $13,350 in cash and fitness!   
 
The $3,000 Tossup is IN THE KITCHEN. Joanna is on a roll with OMELET PAN. She is up to $16,350. She starts this round which is TV TITLE. She hits a $5,000 T. She misses...over to Mick. Final Spin time....$6,000 a letter! Mike just falls short of winning with EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS for $12,000. He misses by $350, and leaves with $16,000 in cash and trip to Miami. Mick is going to Rome with a nice total of $8,650! But Joanna is our big winner, but barely with $16,350 in cash and fitness trip.
 
The bonus round this week has a Jeep and a Saab Convertible to deal with. Let's see what Joanna does. She lands on the W from WIN. The category is PHRASE. With the RSTLNE we have:
 
_ _ _ _ N _
_ _ _ E S
 
She chooses GDCI and we have:
 
_ _ _ I N G
_ _ _ E S
 
She wasn't MAKING WAVES and lost a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. But she is leaving with $16,350 in cash and fitness.
