¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders (Susy, Stephanie, Janeen, Bibiana, Mabel), one game, $500
Construction workers (Edward, Hector, Felix, Jorge, Angel); two games, $5500

The hoot-and-hollerers are sporting pompons while the hoot-and-hollered are wearing construction hats in an act of solidarity. Coolness.

The girls lead 172-87 after three. Double: something that makes people sweat (4). Jorge fires with exercises... #1! Running is #2, as the Dolphins try to steal with the sun.. Not there! The construction workers lead it now, 233-172. Other answers: heat and work.

Triple: an excuse people use to get out of a fine or ticket (3). Mabel takes her brother to the hospital for #1. "I'm in a hurry" and "I wasn't paying attention" round out the list for the Dolphins, giving them the game, 355-233.

Susy & Mabel go for Dinero Rápido again... Mabel gets 97 despite only answering three questions. Susy gets only 39 for 136 total, giving the cheerleaders another $500.

Pharmacists (Massiel, Eni, Hector, Martha, Geraldo); one game, $500
Personal trainers (Louis, Elizabeth, Nelson, Tony, Catalina); two games, $1000

After three, the trainers lead, 155-29. Double: something for which Brazil is known (3). Tony fires with Pele... not there. Martha gets soccer for #1. Geraldo gets #3, Carnaval. The samba puts them over the top, 311-29.

At the DR board this time... Hector & Massiel, who get 131 for $500 more, giving them $1000.

Two tiebreakers next time.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Amanda Alderman (co-owner of a clothing/jewelry line orig. from Wichita Falls, TX; looks like Demi Moore and/or Ashlee Simpson)
Harout Dimijian (communications manager orig. from Beirut, Lebanon; obsessed with "The Golden Girls")
Traci Lolicotta (coordinator from Bainbridge, NY; met Bono at a party)

Round 1: Vin Diesel and Mandy Moore lead us to a Celebrity Train Wreck. Today's stop, Jerry Springer. Spike Lee leads us to break with a very close game with Amanda at 250, Harout at 200, and Traci at 100.

Round 2: Let's go Below the Beltway. The clues... "It's not his fault, he pulled out, then he jumped back in to finish the job," "His talk isn't the only thing that's straight," "I'm all ears."  It's Ross Perot. Next up, Natalie Portman and a Mug Shot of Kim Delaney. That leads us to break #2, as Amanda still leads, 750 to Harout's 400 and Traci's 200.

Round 3: let's put on our... "Naomi Campbells". Naomi Amanda comes out early and often, winning this one with 1350 to Harout's 400 and Traci's 200.

Bonus Round for a Caribbean cruise: it's between Randy Quaid and Dennis Quaid. Amanda only manages nine, giving her $900.
