¿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), two games, $1000
Construction workers (Edward, Hector, Felix, Jorge, Angel); two games, $5500

We're down to the wire as we have two heart-stopping tiebreaking matches today. And the winners will play the Fast Money for $10,000.

The girls lead 165-63 after three. Double: one of the five senses (4). Bibiana goes with hearing for #3, while sight is #2 for Jorge. Angel gets #1, smell. Touch rounds it out for the lead, 255-165.

Triple: a public place where you see people sitting (3). Angel gets #3, a plaza. Mabel gets #1, a park. A mall does it for the girls, 456-255.

Can Susy & Mabel take the Dinero Rápido for $10,000? Mabel gets 64. The final question for $10,000, a country that speaks Spanish. Susy goes with Mexico. Quoting Marco Antonio: "The bad news, you need 71 to win. The good news is that Mexico is the number one answer!" After a trademark prolonged pause, the survey said... 76! They've got $10,000! That gives them $11,000 for the week. 

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

We had one big win this Friday. Why not another?

After three, it's pharmacy rats over gym rats, 120-56. Double: something you can read on a cereal box (4). Tony fires with carbs... that's under #1, the nutrition facts. Ingredients and name are also up there. The pharmacists can steal with "expiry date"... Got it for 272-56.

Triple: what is the first thing you do after you trip on the street and fall (3)? Geraldo: "Levantarme." Get up is #1. Laugh is also up there. Time for a steal. They go with cry... Not there! Pharmacists win, 464-56! Other answers: fix what I saw, cover myself with my hands.

At the DR board this time... Hector & Geraldo. Gerald gets the number one on his last question with 78 to go.. but the news isn't good. They only get 65 for 187. They end the week with $1500.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Molly Torrance-Berings (wife from Huntington Beach, CA; used to be in a pop band when she was 17)
Steve Cubine (novelist orig. from Memphis, TN; almost ran into Little Richard)
Laura Hornberger (stunt woman from San Jose, CA; game showing for two)

Round 1: Ben Stiller leads us to a new segment, "15 Minutes of Fame", with Amber Frye, the mistress of Scott Peterson. Laura has mouth diarrhea as we go to the quintessential Celebrity Train Wreck, Dennis Rodman. Nicole Richie's not a train wreck... yet as we head to break with Steve at 150, Molly at 200, and Laura at 250.

Round 2: John Cusack makes Laura's day. Next, See Cups. Clues: "Double D's? No? Double C", "Playboy featured her in the Buffy", "That chest had a lot of charisma." It's Charisma Carpenter. *sirens* Time for a Mug Shot of... Stone Cold Steve Austin. After that round, Molly in the middle with 400 to Steve's 350 and Laura's 750.

Round 3: ever see four Danny Bonnaduces on one stage before? It happens today! "Me Laura" comes through in the clutch, winning 1350 to Steve's 950 and Molly's 400.

Bonus Round for a trip to Mazatlan: it's between Dustin Hoffman and Dustin Diamond. Laura gets all ten with one second to go.
