Today is

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Susannah Jacobson (communications assistant from Madison, WI); $37,201
Mike Pesca (reporter from New York City)
Judy Rudnick (physician from Honolulu, HI)

July has arrived, and already someone is causing sparks. Will Susannah continue?

Susannah starts with $200 Seans, Shawns & Shauns. At the TV time out... the champ is sputtering, tied with Judy at $1400. Mike, meanwhile, has $4600.

Mike finds the Daily Double under $800 Biblical People. He bets $1600 on this: this apostle, an effective missionary, is sometimes called the "Second Founder" of Christianity. "Who is Peter?" Nope. It was Paul, as Mike drops to $2800. He goes back up to $3800, while Susannah returns to form with $4200. Judy, with $2600, will start out Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 3 Es for Me!. Mike finds the first Daily Double under $2000 The US Census. Mike? "I'm gonna go all-in." For $6800... for 19 years in a row, it has had the highest-percentage population increase of any state. "What is Nevada?" Correct for $6800! Judy, meanwhile, puts a level wager on the second Daily Double, $1600 Zoology. The clue: the greater long-nosed species of this is found only in the rain forest & usually has 7 or 8 bands, not 9. "What is an anteater?" Nope, it was an armadillo, giving Judy $5000. She drops further to $4600, while Mike leads with $11,200. Susannah is in the middle with $9400.

Final Jeopardy! in "Oscar-Winning Singers": 2 of the 4 people who've had a Billboard No. 1 Pop Album & also won a regular acting Oscar. Correct question: Who is Bing Crosby, Jamie Foxx, Frank Sinatra or Barbra Streisand?

Susannah, the only one who gets it right, scores the W today with $18,800, giving her $56,001 for two days.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Miranda (Genaro, Mairet, Delviz, Jorge, Jorge); $5000
Medina (Marcos, Dainery, Adonis, Ana, Luis)

So the Mirandas managed to crack the DR code. Question is now... can they do it again?

Round 1: something that makes for a romantic evening (5). Marcos? "Velas." Candles are number one! We also get flowers and wine, but the Mirandas get the steal. How about music? Got it for 84. Other answer: dinner.

Round 2: an activity with tools that only your neighbor happens to do in the middle of the night (6). Dainery hammers out #1. And that's it for the challengers, while the Mirandas drill for the steal, giving them 124. Other answers: repair the lights, saw, mow the lawn, fix the car.

Round 3: a food that when prepared is round (7). Delviz takes the question with bread for #7. Jorge gets #3, pizza. Genaro gets #5, tortilla. The Medinas try to steal with a cake.. number one for 57! Other answers: jell-o, hamburger, pancake.

Double Round: if you had a business, something you would use to advertise it (4). Ana fires with TV, #1. Radio, newspapers, and internet complete the sweep for 241.

Triple Round: a desert (4). Jorge gets #1, the Sahara. Next, Arizona. The Medinas have one last chance. They go with Colorado.. No! The Mirandas take it, 325-241. Other answer: Sonora, Mojave.

Dinero Rápido: Genaro and Jorge #2 are back at the board. Jorge gets 168. Again, Genaro can't secure one more number one, but together, they get enough for another $5000. that brings them to $10,000.

No show tomorrow. Come back Wednesday to see if they can make it three for three.
