Today is

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Rich Small (IT programmer from Kent, WA); $9600
Brent McGlasson (systems analyst from Henderson, NV)
Erin Weiss (art dealer from Los Angeles)

Small payday for Rich yesterday, but today is another game. Let's get it.

Rich starts with $200 Muhammad Ali's Greatest Hits. At the TV time out, Rich leads with $2400, but not by much, as Brent has $2000 and Erin has $1200.

Brett has $3200 as he finds a video Daily Double under $1000 Months. He bets the level, and we throw it to Mr. Cannon at the gym. Jon? "It's named for a god of doors, and it's the month the greatest number of Americans walk through that door & join a gym." "What is January?" Right for $4200! He ends up with $5200 at the half, while Rich is trailing with $4000. Erin with $600 starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 American Idle, finding the first Daily Double under $1200 My Name is URL. The self-proclaimed Jeopardy! nut bets level here. The clue: the website for this brand of gum is its name followed by .quit.com. "What is Nicorette?" Right for $3800. Brett finds the second Daily Double under $1600 Gray's Anatomy. He bets two large on this: the hypoglossal nerve functions as the motor to most of the muscles of this organ. "What is the tongue?" Right for $15,200. He levels off at $16,800 against Erin's $12,600. Rich, though, is way in the back with $6000.

Final Jeopardy! in "State Flags": its state flag, based on a design from 1776, shows Virtue, dressed like an Amazon, triumphing over Tyranny. Correct question: What is Virginia?

Rich is down... but not out. He is the only one who gets it right as the two challengers cancel each other out. Rich returns Monday with $18,100.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Patruno (Sergio, Marina, Sergio, Valentina, Danny)
Rueda (Marta, Constanza, Olga, Rosa, Eduardo); $500

Hopefully the Ruedas can score big in Dinero Rápido... And they're in a prime position to do so after four rounds, leading 200-192 after the challengers sweep the Double Round. Both sides say they have this one. Only one way to figure out who's flying and who's lying. Vamos, ¡A jugar!

Triple Round: something embarrassing that moms do to their kids in public (3). Danny goes with arguing... #1!  Un besito, a kiss is #2. Punishing is #4. Will the Ruedas steal the bank with condescending? NO! Patrunos win, 465-200. Other answer: hit them.

Danny and Sergio Jr. take Dinero Rápido in a moment, but FIRST! NEWS! Starting Monday, ¿Qué Dice La Gente? returns to its hour-long format! Meaning that families will have a shot at $10,000 every show!

But it's not to be on this show. Danny & Sergio only come up with $500 worth of game show monies.
