Round 4: connect SPRAINED with BOOK. Mimi bets and wins $100 on a SPRAINED ANKLE. Both teams lose $200, but Mimi fronts a bit $500 on CHECK BOOK. They lead now. Andrea loses $100 after. Susan gets $100 on a RAIN CHECK. Mimi wins $100 on ANKLE DEEP. Final word... Dennis gets $500... on PURPLE. That's the win, $2000 to $1900.

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Marin (Alex, Monica, Carla, Felipe, Dolly); $500
Garcia (Hector, Rosemary, Hanny, Dayllana, Yusnier)

¿Qué Dice La Gente? VIP continues in the second half, but first...

After three rounds, the Marins lead, 123-71. Double round: something you put salsa or ketchup on (4). Felipe gets #1, French fries. Hot dogs, burgers, and pasta complete the sweep for the win, 312-71.

Felipe & Dolly go for Dinero Rápido... Alex draws from the table of fortune... "$500." That goes in the family bank. Felipe gets 56. And "Hello Dolly" gets... only up to 172. That's another $500 for $1500 for two days.

Now back to the reason for this special week.

REIK (Jesus, Cris, Julio, Coco, Bibi), playing for CAOBA; one game

Diana Reyes y Su Grupo lead this game, 139-60. Double round: a part of an airplane. El Coco gets #1, the wings. The turbines and seats are also on the board. Diana tries to steal with the cabin... Got it for the win, 331-60.

Diana & Chuy take it to the DR board for CAOBA. Diana gets 110. Chuy gets ... the rest! That's $10,000 for St. Jude Children's Hospital.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Evan Wexel (nonprofit worker from Great Neck, Long Island, NY; fan of Jon Bon Jovi)
Becky Collin (from Philadelphia; was hit on by the Hoff)
Dave Lurman (arcade manager from Detroit; claims to have dated J-Lo)

Round 1: Bjork and Rob Schneider lead us to "Hot Corner", where we find Jenny McCarthy at the Lingerie Bowl. We also get a visit from Christopher Walken, but Dave manages to freak everyone out, but with good reason, as he ties Evan's 300. Becky has 50.

Round 2: Questions focus on Kirsten Dunst before we go "Below the Beltway." Today's clues: "I had six children," "I created the Panama Canal... and I'd be happy to show it to you," and "Speak softly and carry a big stick." It's Teddy Roosevelt. Time for a "Mug Shot" on Tracey Gold. Evan pulls out to a lead with 700, while Dave has 600. Becky has 150.

Round 3: Everyone dons their ... Travoltas this time. Dave rides his celebrity hyperactivity to the W today, 1400 to Evan's 900 and Becky's 150.

Bonus Round for a trip to Puerto Vallarta: this one's for Dave's grandma. Today's starfaces: 24 senior analyst Chloe O'Brian (as played by Mary Lynn Rajskub) and disgraced entertainment reporter Pat O'Brien. Dave gets the 10th at the last second. He's going to Mexico!
