Today is

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Inie Park (associate from Los Angeles); $10,800
Jim Mainguy (customer service representative from North Vancouver, BC)
Celeste DiNucci (grad student from Philadelphia)

Back in the saddle after a good two weeks at GSC, and we begin with Inie beginning with $200 Let's Start a Club. She trails only $200 at the TV time out, $1600 to Jim's $1800.

(C-NOTE: Celeste is on a mission of redemption. Her brother lost to Jerome Vered in 1992.)

Celeste finds the Daily Double under $800 Abbreviated US States. She bets $1200 on this: the 2 states whose abbreviations are informal words for father & mother. "What are Pennsylvania and Massachusetts?" PA and MA give Celeste $4200. She leads at the end of the round, $5200 to Jim's $3600. Inie, still at $1600, will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 British Poets. Celeste finds the Daily Double under $1600 Ted's Hues. She bets $5200 on this: Ted was in Ankara when he learned this bluish hue's name was derived from a western Asian republic. "What is China blue?" Nope, it's turquoise, dropping Celeste to a minor lead, $9200. Inie can catch up with $1600 Pope, the second Daily Double. She bets only $1100 on Vatican apartments originally built for Alexander VI named for this power-hungry family of his. "Who are the Medici?" Nope, they're the Borgias, leaving her with $100. She'll run out with $3300 to Jim's $2400, but with Celeste at $12,800, it looks like redemption is nigh.

Final Jeopardy! in "European Countries": this co-principality is considered to have had the last remnant of the medieval Europe's feudal system. Correct question: What is Andorra?

Jim gets it right, but it's really Celeste's to win... and she does with $12,800. Inie leaves with $11,800.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Brito (Yula, Jose, Xiolimar, Carlos, Javier)
Zambrano (Jorge, Dany, Renato, Diane, Daniela)

After four rounds, the Zambranos take the first bank to enter the game, 158 to the Britos' 187, as we go into this...

Triple Round: something that gives a warning when it has a fault (3). Javier fires with car, #1. The rest of the family scores computer, but the Zambranos have one more chance with motorcycle... Not there! Britos win, 391-158! Other answer: alarm.

Yula and Xiolimar go to the Dinero Rápido board, where they make only $500. Perhaps more will await them with

Milano (Sergio, Marina, Sergio, Valentina, Danny); $6500, four days
Brito (Yula, Jose, Xiolimar, Carlos, Javier); $500

It's the last time for the Milanos as they try to go five and out. After four rounds, The Britos lead it, 229 to 75.

Triple Round: something people say gives bad luck (4). Javier with walking under a latter goes to #2. Yula gives #1, a black cat. Breaking a mirror and salt give the Britos the win with 460 to 75. Milanos leave with $6500.

Yula goes to Dinero Rápido, and apparently she thinks that she's on the English Feud, because she says she's going for $20,000. Marco Antonio? "¡En tus sueños!" She draws from la canasta... "Buena suerte." So we're playing for $5000. Not $20,000, $5000. Yula gets up to 53. Xiolimar only gets up to 94 for another $500, giving the family $1000 for tomorrow's show.

And Marco Antonio forgets what show he's on again. :)
