Today is

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Bruce Lin (research scientist orig. from Mississauga, ON); $41,400, two days
Ann Rupel (medical research assistant from New York City)
Justin Budinoff (administrative coordinator from Framingham, MA)

Bruce made serious coin last time. Can he keep it up today? He starts with $200 Food Facts. At the TV time out, Bruce is the only one in money with $4200 to Justin's $0 and Ann's -$200.

Bruce finds the Daily Double under $600 Advertising. He bets $4000 on this: January 1, 1971 was the last day these could be advertised on US TV. "What are cigarettes?" Right for $8600. That's where he ends the round, as Ann is in second with $4800. Justin, with $3000, starts up Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Dust to Dust. Justin finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Ashes to Ashes. He bets $4000 on this: as requested, his ashes were buried beneath a tree in front of his office on Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana, CA. "Who is Howard Hughes?" Nope, it was Edgar Rice Burroughs, leaving him with $600. Earthquakes for $1600 is where Bruce finds the second Daily Double. Bruce bets $5000 on this: the USA's most powerful quake occurred in 1964 in Alaska on this Christian holiday also associated with a quake. "What is Christmas?" Nope, it was Good Friday, as he drops to second with $9200. That's where he ends the round, as Ann leads by $400. Justin has $2600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Literary Characters": last name of Sir Clifford, whose crippling war injuries make life difficult for his wife. Correct question: What is Chatterley?

Bruce is right to go to $13,199. Ann is... wrong. Bruce wins again with $54,599 for three days.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Reynaga (Graciela, Gabriel, Alma, Mercedes, Ricardo)
Carreño (Susana, Maria, Carlos, Ricardo, Laura)

Mexico vs. Nicaragua on the QDLG stages in Miami. Let's play!

The Reynagas lead after three, 160-37. The Double Round Decider: an activity done with your feet but not with your hands (3). The Carreños get running and walking, but the Reynagas steal playing soccer for the win, 356-37.

Graciela & Ricardo go for el Dinero Rápido first. Graciela gets 105 first. Richardo only gets 55 for 160 for $500 for the right to challenge the champs..

Milano (Alvaro, Elis, Josie, Rafael, Raquel); $1000
Reynaga (Graciela, Gabriel, Alma, Mercedes, Ricardo); $500

After three, the champs are all over this game, 153-0. Could the double round decide it again? The question: something you blow up (3). Rafael gets #1, a balloon. A ball is #2, but this one goes to the Reynagas. Is it a tire? No! Milanos win, 343-0. Other answer: bladder.

Elis & Raquel are giving it another shot, but first, we have to pick a lucky fruit. Elis gets... "puntos extras!"

Elis comes up with 114 on the Dinero Rápido board. Can Raquel get the other 86? Well, no, she only gets 186. She needs at least 14 extra points attached to the lucky fruit....

50 points! That's a win and $5000! They return tomorrow with $6000!
