Chain Reaction by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9p ET/8p CT on GSN
Host: Dylan Lane
Garrett, Paul & Scott (radio station co-workers)
Kathleen, Veronica & Michele (first cousins from Staten Island)

Round 1 ($100 per word): connect DEATH with SALESMAN. Veronica goes to DEATH VALLEY first. Kathleen follows with VALLEY GIRL, while Scott gets CAR SALESMAN to put the guys on the board. Garrett ties with #4, TALK. The guys complete the chain with SPORTS. The chain: DEATH - VALLEY - GIRL - TALK - SPORTS - CAR - SALESMAN. First speed chain: ARABIAN - P - W - SHATNER. They go with "Prince William" for another $100, giving them the lead, $400-$200.

Round 2 ($200 per word): connect GREEK with MEASURE. The guys get #2, ALPHABET, #6, TAPE, #3, SOUP, and #5, TICKER, but Veronica completes the chain reaction with STOCK. The chain: GREEK - ALPHABET - SOUP - STOCK - TICKER - TAPE - MEASURE. Second speed chain: GREATEST - G - G - KIDS. "Generation Gap" would've completed the reaction here, but the ladies fail on it. They still trail, $1200 to $400.

Round 3 ($300 per word): connect SCOOBY with DOO. Michele asks for a SCOOBY SNACK, while the guys step into DOG DOO. Michele spells out #5 SHOW. The girls follow with #3, MACHINE. Scott completes the chain with GUN for another $300. The chain: SCOOBY - SNACK - MACHINE - GUN - SHOW - DOG - DOO. Final speed chain: CARBON - D - A - COLUMNIST. Correct: "Dating Advice". The guys still lead, $1800 to $1300 going into...

Round 4: connect CANDIED with ALABAMA. Michele makes $300 on #2, APPLE. The girls lose $100 of it, while the guys lose $100. Veronica gets $100 on #6, MOBILE. Michele ties it with #3, BRANDY. Paul gets $500 on POPE MOBILE. The ladies lose $500. The guy lose $100. The girls get $500 from ALEXANDER, but it's not enough. By a score of $2000 to $1600, the men win! Chain: CANDIED - APPLE - BRANDY - ALEXANDER - POPE - MOBILE - ALABAMA.

Bonus Round: the guys get the Beatles, menu, mascara, raft, Julia Roberts, gavel, and Eiffel Tower for the doubler, $4000.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Marin (Alex, Monica, Carla, Felipe, Dolly); $1500, two days
Guzman (Mirna, Kristine, Elsa, Norma, Michelle)

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

After three rounds, the Guzmans are taking this one in a rout, 245-0. Double round: something the police ask you for when you are given a ticket (3). Norma gets #1, your license. Insurance is #3. For the steal, the Marins get 160 with "Do you know why I stopped you?".

Triple Round: a way babies express themselves before talking (4). Michelle fires with #1, crying. Stammering and smiling are also on the board. The Marins have one last chance with gestures... Got it for the win, 421-245.

After Marco Antonio tries to give Jackie a hookup... again... Alex & Monica go for Dinero Rápido... Monica draws from the table of fortune... "puntos extra." That may make the difference today. Monica gets 138. Alex brings them to 190... but with the extra points, it's just enough for the $5000. That gives them $6500 for three days.

Now back to the reason for this special week.

Diana Reyes y Su Grupo (Diana, Efren, Raimundo, Misael, Chuy), playing for St. Jude Children's Hospital; two games, $10,000
REIK (Jesus, Cris, Julio, Coco, Bibi), playing for CAOBA; one game

Diana Reyes y Su Grupo are one game away from a special surprise that Marco Antonio is talking about. They lead after three, 128-65.

Double: something that helps a child to sleep (3). Food is #3 for Misael, while el Coco gets #1, singing. A story gives Diana Reyes the game, 318-65.

Diana & Raimundo take it to the DR board for St. Jude Children's Hospital (a mistake we made last time. We apologize). Diana gets three zeroes for 38. Raimundo needs 162. He... doesn't do any better, getting one zero and one number one for only 104.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Stephanie Raleigh (from Pasadena, CA; met Jerry Rice)
Joel Goodling (orig. from Wyomissing, PA; followed Robin Williams)
Yasmine Palisano (orig. from Westwood, NJ; new mom)

Round 1: Russell Crowe and Kate Winslet lead us to the Hot Corner and Charlize Theron. Johnny Knoxville takes us to break. It's all Yasmine with 450 to Joel's 100 and Stephanie's 50.

Round 2: not wasting any time going "Below the Beltway." Today's clues: "They're huge", "We asked Monica to get a little closer, but no cigar," "This is the only place Ken Starr didn't look for dirt on Bill." It's Hillary Clinton. Next up, pics of Brigitte Nielsen and a siren. Time for a Mug Shot on James Brown. Joel roars back with 600 to Yasmine's 850. Stephanie has 150.

Round 3: I'm getting a Doughnut-Gram... "You ever see three Dr. Phils at once?" No, but I hear it's scary. Even scarier are the accents they put on. Yasmine takes this one, 1050 to Joel's 1000 and Stephanie's 550.

Bonus Round for a Caribbean Cruise: today, it's Yasmine against Gene Simmons and Albert Einstein. She gets all ten for the big cruise.
