Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Bruce Lin (research scientist orig. from Mississauga, ON); $9599
Jennifer Laam (teacher from Studio City, CA)
Scott Ahearn (actor from The Bronx, NY)

The Canadian is going to have to brush up on historic Americans, but in the meanwhile, he starts with $200 12-Letter Words, finding the Daily Double under $400 Inventors & Inventions. He bets it all on this: this device was first developed by Zenith in 1950 under the name "Lazy Bones". "What's a remote control?" Right for $4800!

Bruce would hold his lead into the half with $7000 to Jennifer's $3600. Scott with $2600 starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 World Cities. Scott finds the first Daily Double under $2000 Dinosaurs. He bets $2500 for the lead. The clue: this name of the ferocious predator seen in "Jurassic Park" means "one who seizes quickly". "What is velociraptor?" Right for $10,300! Bruce finds the other Daily Double under $1600 Put Me in Coach!. He bets $1000 on the buses of Safety Coach Lines from Muskegon, Mich. "What are silver darts?" Nope. They're Greyhounds, leaving him with $1000. He gets it back and then some with $16,000 to Scott's $15,900. Jennifer could play spoiler with $10,400.

Final Jeopardy! in "Variety Headlines": the Variety headline when this couple married June 29, 1956 read, "Egghead Weds Hourglass". Correct question: Who were Marilyn Monroe & Arthur Miller?

Jennifer's right to double up. Scott's right to double up. Bruce's right... also to double up! Bruce wins this one in a heartbeat with $31,801, giving him $41,400 for two days.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Garcia (Candida, Benabeli, Hector, Aracelys, Felicia)
Milano (Alvaro, Elis, Josie, Rafael, Raquel)

We crowned five-time champs last time out, so we're going to greet three new families. The Garcias and the Milanos are first, though.

After three, the Milanos are whupping the Garcias, 227-0. Double Round could do it. The question: something we call someone who maintains a car. Rafael fires with #1, a chauffeur. They also get driver and... three strikes. The Garcias try to steal with operator... Not there! Milanos win, 407-0. Other answer: maintainer.

Elis & Raquel take their game to the Dinero Rápido board... Elis gets 55. Raquel gets... only up to 119. D'oh! That gives them $500 and another half hour on TV against...

Milano (Alvaro, Elis, Josie, Rafael, Raquel); $500
Climent (Richard, Mary, Roberto, Maria, Raul)

After the Double Round, it's the Milanos up, 252-72.

Triple Round: something associated with "Snow White" (4). Raquel goes with the dwarves, #1. A witch, the apple, and... a forest? The Climents hope so... Nope! Milanos win again, 462-72. Other answer: the dress.

Raquel & Elis try again, but first, Jackie brings out that fruitbasket of doom. And we have... "Buena suerte." Damn it.

Raquel gets 100 even. Elis gets... 16 more, giving the family $500 more for $1000 total.
