¿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); $6500, three days
Rodriguez (Evelyn, Vanny, Walter, Vivan, Silvio)

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

After the Double Round, the Rodriguez lead, 295-40.

Triple Round: something that you'd find in the supermarket paper aisle (4). Dolly gets #2, napkins. Alex gets #1, toilet paper. Paper towels and ... paper plates? The Rodriguez hope so... Not there! The Marins are still in it with 253! Other answer: soap.

Sudden Death: something you change frequently on your car (2). That's Alex. "Llantas." Not tires. Evelyn? "Aceite." Oil is #1. The Marins have one final chance with fuel... NO! The Rodriguez win, 565-253. Other answer: brakes.

Evelyn & Vanny go for Dinero Rápido... Evelyn draws from the table of fortune... "buena suerte." Evelyn gets 85. Vanny gets... only up to 147. They get $500.

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; three games, $10,000
REIK (Jesus, Cris, Julio, Coco, Bibi), playing for CAOBA; one game

So what the heck is that special surprise that we've heard so much about? We'll find out after this final feud between bands.

REIK leads after three, 123-85. Double question: a part of your body in which little scars are common. Misael gets face, #2. Coco's arms are #3. Chuy gets #1, hands, while Diana rounds it out with knees for the lead, 259-123.

Triple: when you enter your car, what's the first thing you do (3)? Chuy's engine start is beaten by Bib's seat belt, while closing the door rounds out the game for REIK, 375-259.

Jesus & Julio take it to the DR board for CAOBA de Mexicali. Julio only manages 20. Jesus gets the team to 183. In five shows, they managed to win... nothing. But we're going to give their charity $1000. Diana Reyes, meanwhile gets $10,000.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Danny Jordan (from Simi Valley, CA; his dad played with Neil Diamond)
Lauren Mora (substitute teacher from San Miguel, CA; a fan of the Olsen twins)
Scott Shapiro (from Phoenix; was made fun of by Paul McCartney)

Someone misplaced their National Enquirer logo.

Round 1: Billy Crystal and Hulk Hogan lead us off. We're getting a little bit Hot with Jaime Pressly of "My Name is Earl" fame. Flea leads up into break with the kind of game we love to see... a close one... Danny with 250, Scott with 200, and Lauren with 150.

Round 2: in the tradition of "Below the Beltway", here's a famous pair of boobs in "See Cups". The clues: "Uncle Festers" and "Sleepy Hollow? Right between them." That chest belongs to Christina Ricci. Next up, Justin Timberlake giving America the finger before we get into a Mug Shot of Tim Allen. After that, Lauren ends up on top with 650 to Danny's 450 and Scott's 400.

Round 3: famous quotes from... Jack Nicholson... Nice. Lauren channels her inner Jack to win, 1250 to Scott's 600 and Dannys' 450.

Bonus Round for a trip to the Caribbean: today, it's Lauren against Dr. Ruth and Dr. Dre. She gets five in a row before stumbling. She gets the other five for the trip.
