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
Turner (Mignon, Cameron, Eniko, Kevin, Debbie); $665
Darcy (Sheila, Mike, Carrie, Tommy, Maureen) from Chicago

Round 1: what might you do right after your boss says "you're fired" (full board)? Sheila has a good cry for #1. The Darcys also look for another job and just say "You can't fire me, I quit!" The Turners try to steal with updating the resume... Not there! The Darcys get 40. Other answers: leave (said!), tell them off, clean out desk (also said!), hit him/revenge, ask/wonder why.

Round 2: something many people say a little prayer before doing (6). Athletics is good for Cameron at #5, but Mike eats up the question for #1. Only thing is that the Darcys follow up with going to bed. The Turners try again with "flying".. Got it for 59! Other answers: doctor/surgery, going on a drive.

Double Round: 100 married women, a famous store you wish your husband owned (6). Eniko fires with #2, Tiffany's. Stupid answer coming... Kevin: "Victoria's Secret?" Mignon also scores with #3, Wal-Mart. The Darcys try for the steal with Macy's... Number one! They get 98. Other answers: Saks Fifth avenue, Starbucks, Bloomingdale's.

Triple Round: a place where someone gives their car to a stranger (4). Kevin gets number one, a restaurant. The champs also get a hotel, a car wash, and an auto shop to win, 338-98.

Mignon and Cameron try it again in Fast Money... and get it done in eight for a two-day total of $20,665.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Ben Goggins (retired marine biologist from Tybee Island, GA); $46,800, two days
Barbara Watkins (stay-at-home-mom/attorney from Oak Park, IL)
Doc Hamilton (advanced customer care agent from Nashville)

Ben, Barbara... the Doc will see you now.

Ben starts his third game with $200 Let's Take a Trip, finding the Daily Double under $600. He bets the max of $1000 on this: anytime the head or tail of his Danish statue is vandalized, it's repaired using the original 1913 mold. "What is the Copenhagen Mermaid? The Little Mermaid?" Right for $1400.

Last clue in the Jeopardy! round remains hidden, as Ben storms into the lead with $8800, Doc in the game with $3300, and Barbara at $1200 start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Art. Barbara finds the first Daily Double deep in the round under $1600 15-Letter Words. She bets $2000 of her $5600 on this: the emission of light by living organisms like fireflies. "What is bioluminescence?" That... would've gotten her the money. Instead, photoluminescence drops her to $3600. Doc finds the second Daily Double under $1200 The Non-Category. He makes it true. The clue: MLK Jr. said the "Gandhian emphasis on love and" this led him to the method for social reform that he'd been seeking. "What is nonviolence?" And he's in the lead with $10,400! He ends with that much, while Ben has $7200 and Barbara has $5600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Notable Women": she was the 31st person--& the first woman--to lie in state or honor in the US Capitol. Correct question: Who is Rosa Parks?

Ben is right to double up... It's all on Doc... He's right... And he bets $4001 to win $14,401. Ben leaves with $48,800.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Starting today's show are Adam Briscolara, Anthony Robinson, Linda Savage, Michelle Jones, and an HDTV worth $2599. Michelle, only $199 off, wins it and a chance at an offroad motorcycle and a floor clock at Barker's Bargain Bar. The motorcycle is marked $2174. The clock is marked at $3025. Which is the bigger markdown? She goes with the bike. The clock is $3925, a $900 bargain. The motorcycle is $3374, a win with a $1200 difference.

Linda wins a $750 sofa in round 2 and a chance to Cover Up for a Chevrolet Malibu. The setup...

         3
       1 7
     7 0 4
   0 3 5 8
 3 7 1 4 6
 1 3 0 7 2
$2 1 4 8 5

The first Cover Up is $17,313... The first three are right. Second Cover-Up: $17,358. The 5 is right. Is the price $17,354? Two dollars off. It's $17,352.

New entry from round 2 Eric Huggins wins a $500 picnic package in round 3, en route to a chance for a baby grand piano playing the new Balance Game. Four bags: $271, $2000, $5000, and $7000. He sets his scale at $7271... Not it. Should've used the $2000 and the $7000 for the $9271 piano. Eric may not be any good at the balancing, but at the spinning, he's a master. He'll be back for the Showcase.

Anthony may yet join him as he wins a $999 DVD camcorder in round 4. Will he use it to record his new home gym, his new dinette, and his new popcorn cart? His game is Barker's Markers, and the prices are $2175, $1389, $1747, and $2725. He marks the first three. After Bob presents him with five Benjamins, he gets the offer to change the marker after $1747 was revealed for the gym and $1389 was revealed for the popcorn cart. Will he switch his marker? Nope. He should've.

Round 5 promises a lamp to Heather Cropper for $659. She now gets a shot at something with a light and four wheels... a new Ford Focus! The game is That's Too Much! She thinks $17,121 is Too Much! and That's Too Much indeed! She wins the car!

Last chance for Adam to make a move. Last item up for bids: flatware. ARP: $900. Winner... Adam! Now he gets a chance at a snowmobile playing Hit Me. The house shows an Ace. The products on offer... Capzasin P ($12.99), Hot Pockets ($22.90), Maxwell House decaf ($28.50), Goldfish crackers ($1.78), Viactiv chews ($63.92), and Smucker's blackberry jam ($13.40). The 89c Goldfish gives Adam a deuce. The Hot Pockets at $2.29 gives Adam 12. The calcium chews at $3.35 gives Adam 16 against the dealer Ace. Hole card up... a 9. Dealer 20 beats Adam's 16.

But lo, he will not be defeated, because he joins Eric in the Showcase. First up, Broyhill's 100th Anniversary bedroom group with sleep set, luggage, and an African photo safari. Top winner Adam bids $15,000. Eric gets ways to tell you've partied too much involving a dishwasher, a sauna, and a Ford Mustang convertible. He bids $32,000. Actual price: $29,309. He's over. Actual price of Adam's Showcase... $25,062. He's your big winner with $25,962.

Stats: 2-4, $55,065.
