Today is

100 Mexicanos Dijeron by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 8p ET/7p CT on Telefutura

STAY TUNED...
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Baldwin (Chara, Chandra, Michelle, Melanie, Suzan); $1305
Stevenson (Carol, Bob, Melissa, David, Dana)

As the countdown to changeover begins, will a changing of the guard be in order for the Baldwins?

Round 1: something people hate waiting for (6). Chara goes to dinner for #2. Michelle waits for the doctor, #5. It goes to the Stevensons... They go with a bus... Number one for 24! Other answers: money/paycheck, grocery/checkout, movie/tickets.

Round 2: someone famous with "Jessica" in their name (7). Bob gets #4, Sarah Jessica Parker, while Chandra scores top answer with Jessica Simpson. Nothing from the champs, so we go to the Stevensons and Jessica Lange.. Gotten for 95! Other famous Jessicas: Jessica Savitch, Jessica Alba, Jessica Lynch, Jessica Biel.

Double Round: the most exciting thing to shop for (full board). Melissa gets excited over shoes, number one. "Shoes is the number one answer?!" Jewelry, a car, and a house get the Stevensons all hot. Now to the Baldwins, who try a gift. Not there! The Stevensons are up to 267! Other answers: computer, food.

Triple Round: a part of their body where men start to grow hair about the same time they start losing it on their head (4). David's ears beat Melanie's chest, 1 to 3. Nose and back complete the sweep for the shutout, 507-0.

Carol and Dana get number ones for "a sport where there is often a false start" (football), "a planet people would recognize just by looking at a picture of it" (Saturn) "a way people shorten Catherine" (Kate), and "something found on a barn" (horses). End result... $20,000!

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Nemanja Dundjerovic (electrical engineer from Ottawa); $20,500
Ben Goggins (retired marine biologist from Tybee Island, GA)
Amanda Mapel (front services manager from Las Vegas)

Remember that name... Nemanja Dunderovic. It won't be a trivia question any time soon, but you just can't help but forget. He starts with $200 Let's Visit Springfield, which, by the way, doesn't have any Simpsons clues in it. Meanwhile, Ben finds the Daily Double under $800 Remember the 1800s? Tied with Amanda's $1600, Ben bets $1000 on this: when San Francisco's Palace Hotel opened in 1875, visitors were amazed by these devices that were then known as "rising rooms". "What are elevators?" Right for $2600.

Thanks to Chick-Fil-A of all things, Ben has prime position going into the Double round with $8200 to Amanda's $3600. Nemanja, with $600, gets the go-ahead right in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Godzilla (as in "One Nation", "'Under'", "Godzilla"). Amanda finds the first Daily Double under $800 One Nation. In third place, Amanda bets $2400 on this: the one nation in Europe with a female head of government. "What is Germany?" That... would've done it. But she opts for the Netherlands, leaving her with $1200. Amanda has a chance to recoup when she bets all of her $2000 on $2000 The BBC's 100 Greatest Britons. Clue: no. 54: froze to death with several companions in March 1912. "Who is Shackleton?" Nope, it was Robert Scott, leaving her with nothing. She rebounds to $3200 to Nemanja's $7400, but it's Ben's game to lose with $23,800.

Just a reminder that if you're on the Central and Mountain Time Zones and want to get into the game, it's your big chance. Go to Jeopardy.com today to take... the test.

Final Jeopardy! in "Poets": the Library of Congress' 2005 exhibit on his had a section titled "Wound Dresser in the Civil War". Correct question: Who was Walt Whitman?

Ben is right, winning the day with $25,000. Nemanja leaves with $22,500.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Paul Peterson, Terri Threat, Joanne McDalh, and Brittaney Brown, you're the first contestants to bid on a grandfather clock. It costs $3150, and it goes to Paul, who plays 1 Right Price for two trips: to Seattle and Sedona. The 1 Right Price: $3884. He goes with Sedona... Actual price... $2903.

Terri takes a $760 weather station in round 2. A Chrysler Sebring is waiting in the wings should she win Lucky Seven. First number: 2. She goes with 5 next... it's 9. That's $4 gone. Next, 9... 7. Another $2 zapped. Next, 6... 2. Out of money, out of luck.

Joanne wins a $1295 keyboard in round 3, as she gets a chance to play for a bedroom with sleep set. The game is Grocery Game. At the counter: Bruce's yams, Hot Pockets, Santa Fe chunky salsa, Viactiv chews, and Carnation malted milk. First, six Hot Pockets. Each one was $2.29. That gives us $13.74. Then she tries four yams... Each one is $1.29 for $18.90. Now she buys one Viactiv... that's $4.39, and over she goes. She's also over at the Wheel as Paul wins the Showdown round first.

Brittaney gets out of the row with a $1310 nightvision package. Hope she has her running shoes on, because she's about to Race for an offroad motorcycle, dinnerware, a bar set, and dumbbells. The prices: $628, $1063, $2394, and $2730. She started out with two right, then only got one... the motorcycle at $2394.

Daniel Jabir wins two Flyboys worth $698 and heads to the Punchboard for a chance at $10,000. He gets three punches from an $12 mop, a $27 humidifier, and a $120 toaster oven.  First punch... $500. Daniel puts it back. Second... $50. He puts IT back. Third... $50.

LaShawna Fitzpatrick wins a chest worth $581. Time to bring out the Money Game as LaShawna tries for a Pontiac Vibe.

65  18  19
80  20  95
33  71  26

Middle number is 2. First picks, 18, 95, and 19, all yield money. 20 is the front of the car. Final pick is 71.... And she wins... $203. Actual price of the car: $20,226. Brittaney takes the Showcase in the second half and meets Paul in the Showcase...

First up: a new living room with carpeting, a year's worth of Maids service, and a new hot tub. Top winner Brittaney passes to Paul, who bids $14,000. Brittaney takes a look at games the Beauties want to play. Gwen wants to play Clock Game to win $1000, Rachel wants to play Side by Side for a trip to the British Virgin Islands, and Gabrielle wants to play Hole in One for a Dodge Magnum. Brittaney bids $30,000. Actual price: $31,910, a $1910 difference. Actual price of Paul's Showcase... $21,779. Brittaney wins this one with $35,614 in cash and prizes.

Stats: Skunk, $42,550.
