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); $54,599, three days
Inie Park (research associate from Los Angeles)
Matt Mullins (physicist from Albuquerque, NM)

Can any put the championship run of Bruce Lin to a screeching halt?

Bruce starts with $200 But Fear Itself. At the TV time out, Matt leads in a dead heat, $2400 to Bruce's $2200. Inie has $1200.

Matt finds the Daily Double under $800 You Have Nothing to Fear. He bets $1500 on this: in Dean Koontz books, this 240-year-old doctor is alive today & masquerading as biotech tycoon Victor Helios. "Who is Faust?" Nope, it's Dr. Frankenstein, leaving him with $2300. He jumps up to $2700. Bruce leads $5000, while Inie with $2000 starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Renaissance Painters. Matt finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Geographic Phrases. He bets $2500 on this: it's the cape referred to in the name of the Cape buffalo. "What is Cape Horn?" Nope, it was the Cape of Good Hope, leaving him with $2600. Last clue, $2000 Names of the '70s, goes to Inie, as she bets $1800 on the man who, on November 22, 1975, stepped onto a balcony at the Royal Palace as a crowd roared, "Viva el rey!". "Who is Juan Carlos?" Right for $5400, where she ends. Bruce is in the lead with $10,600, while Matt has $4600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Presidential Quotations": he announced to the American public, "The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed...". Correct question: Who was Harry S Truman?

Bruce's fatal flaw... ignoring the Rayburn rule: "Go with your gut." He crosses out Truman, handing the game to Inie, who wins $10,800. Bruce leaves with $56,599.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Delgado (Elisa, Simon, German, Ei-Ling, Emperatriz)
Gonzalez (Julio, Odalys, Joanet, Dismey, Hector)

The Delgados only have 18 after three rounds to the Gonzalez's 134, but that's not going to stop them from giving it another go in the Double Round. After naming three famous cartoon mice (Mickey, Jerry and Speedy Gonzalez), the Delgados are back in it with 200. The other mouse, by the way, was Raton Vaquero.

Triple Round: the most popular school subject. Emperatriz fires with #1, math. English is #2... Spanish is... not on the board. PE is, though, as the Gonzalez win, 377-134.

Dismey & Julio go for el Dinero Rápido first. Dismey gets 126. Julio gets... the rest. They've got $5000 and another game to play.

Milano (Alvaro, Elis, Josie, Rafael, Raquel); $6000; two days
Gonzalez (Julio, Odalys, Joanet, Dismey, Hector); $5000

After three, the champs lead, 144-55. The doubler that could decide it: if there were a pharmacy only for men, what would they sell a lot of (4)? That's Rafael. "Condones." Let's see... what he said. It's #1. That's condoms, by the way. The champs also get razors and Viagra (or as Marco Antonio put it, "that little pill that makes you rise"). The Gonzalez try to steal with foot medicine... Not there! Milanos win it, 310-55.

Let's bring out that basket again, as Elis and Raquel try to make another $5000 (or more). Raquel takes... "Buena suerte." And they're going to need it, because Dinero Rápido is a hard nut to crack.

Raquel gets 101 for her team, while Elis gets... only up to 173. That gives them $6500 for four games. Tomorrow's their last.
