Today is

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Celeste DiNucci (grad student from Philadelphia); $83,601, five days
Eugene Manning (U.S. Army specialist from Honolulu, HI)
Danelle Johnson (postal clerk from Salt Lake City)

Celeste has her five and a berth in the next ToC is all but certain. But can she win any more?

Celeste starts with $200 Restaurants. At the TV time out, Eugene is in the lead with $2200 to Celeste's $1800. Danelle has $1200.

Danelle finds the Daily Double under $800 Bear Stuff. She bets $1000 on this: Subject of a 1930s novelty song; in 1993 9,750 bears & their owners attended one set up in New Zealand. "What is a teddy bears' picnic?" Right for $2800. She goes to $4800 thanks to a good showing in 3-Letter Words, but she trails Celeste's $5000. Eugene has $4000 and first pickings in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Graveyard Shift, finding the first Daily Double under $800 Music. He bets $2000 on this: Liszt was among the customers of Bosendorfer, a firm that's been making these since 1828. "What are pianos?" Right for $10,400! He can strike again with the second Daily Double under $2000 Bodies of Water. He bets $1000 on the south arm of the sea named for the Englishman who explored it in 1841. "I don't know." What is the Ross Sea? Eugene drops to $17,000, still in the lead. He holds his lead into the final, $15,000 to Danelle's $9600. The game is just out of Celeste's reach with $7400.

Final Jeopardy! in "American Women Authors": Henry James called her "the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom". Correct question: Who was Louisa May Alcott?

All three are wrong, but Eugene bet strategically to win the game with $10,000. Celeste leaves, perhaps not for long, with $84,601.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Ballesteros (Margarita, Hector, Soltera, Cristian, Herbert)
Morales (Gustavo, Belkis, Fanny, Bruno, Humberto)

It's Colombia (Ballesteros) vs. Venezuela (Morales), and so far, Venezuela leads, 156-66, going into the Double Round... a method of transportation used in the old days (4). Cristian fires with horse, #1. Carriage is #2, and now the Morales can steal to win with train. Got it for the win, 342-66. Other answer: bicycle.

Dinero Rápido time, as Gustavo & Humberto have a chance at $5000 or more. Gustavo gets 103 despite a blankout. Humberto gets... only up to 170 for $500.

But we have more game to play...

Soriano (Ana, Ana, Carlos, Rolando, Miguel); $2500, three days
Morales (Gustavo, Belkis, Fanny, Bruno, Humberto); $500

The Sorianos trail, 125-90, going into the Double Round... when watching a game of soccer, what makes you get up (3)? Rolando goes to the WC for #3, while Bruno scores #1.... Gooooooooooool! That's all they can come up with, while the Sorianos try to stay alive with the phone... Not there! Morales win, 305-90! Other answer: win.

After a spiel promoting the Red Cross, Marco Antonio brings up la canasta, and we get from said basket... $500! That's bonus money. Now, Humberto & Bruno try to win Dinero Rápido again. It is not to be, though, as they only win 117 for another $500, giving them $1500 for today.
