Host: Dylan Lane
Eric, Mike & Brian (high school buddies)
Karyn, Danielle & Jenny (grade school best friends from Jersey)

Round 1 ($100 per word): connect ROUND with ONE. Karyn gets DAY ONE and ROUND TABLE. Danielle goes to GAME DAY. The girls follow up with TABLE TENNIS, but Brian completes the chain with MATCH. The chain: ROUND - TABLE - TENNIS - MATCH - GAME - DAY - ONE. First Speed Chain: SECOND - H - B - ALASKA. Correct: "Half Baked." Guys: "Hand Book". They trail, $400-$100.

Round 2 ($200 per word): connect FAST with FREAK. Danielle starts with FAST FORWARD. Jenny follows with a bit of FORWARD THINKING. Mike's a CONTROL FREAK. Brian gets #4 CAP, but Danielle completes the chain with GUN to lead, $1000 to $500. Chain: FAST - FORWARD - THINKING - CAP - GUN - CONTROL - FREAK. Second Speed Chain: WORLD - P - P - DREAM. They get "Peace Pipe" for $1200.

Round 3 ($300 per word): connect PRESIDENT with RAT. Mike's a RUG RAT. Jenny gets an AREA RUG. Karyn gets #2 FORD and #3 ESCORT, as Danielle completes it with SERVICE. Chain: PRESIDENT - FORD - ESCORT - SERVICE - AREA - RUG - RAT. Final Speed Chain: ROSE - K - C - FRACTURE. They give "Kiss Chin." Not right, but they do have the lead by $1600, $2400 to $800. Answer, by the way, was "Kennedy Compound."

Round 4: connect SACK and FALL. The chain: SACK - RACE - COURSE - CREDIT - RISK - FREE - FALL. The guys, try as they might, couldn't catch up, as the girls win, $2200 to $1200.

Bonus... Round... Time: blindfolds go to Danielle. The women get Zeus (inexplicably) and zebra for ... no extra money.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Diaz (Rosaura, Enrique, Renan, Angie, Balbina)
Vega (Jose, Roselia, Delia, Nubia, Lydia)

After three, the Vegas lead, 122-37. The double: something people have in their hands as they board a plane (3). Nubia buzzes in with a suitcase... #2. Angie's passport... #3. Ticket is number one for the win, 304-37.

Nubia and Jose take on Dinero Rápido. Nubia can only manage 84. Jose gets 99 for a total of 183. Hard to win, that five large is. They get $500 and another shot against...

Vega (Jose, Roselia, Delia, Nubia, Lydia); $500
Portillo (Jacobo, Angel, Felix, Omar, Angel); $1500, three games

After three, the Portillos are running away with it, 266-0. Double: an animal with big ears (3). Omar fires with rabbit for #1. Much to Marco Antonio's surprise, the burro is #2. What's #3 for the win? It is an elephant? Of course. Portillos blow away the challengers, 460-0.

Jacobo comes up with Angel for the family's fourth trip to DR, where Jacobo draws... extra points! That's two in a row. Let's see if they do some good here. The boys... 189 after nine questions... 195 after 10. The extra points... 20! That's win for the Portillos, giving them $6500 after four games.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Kim Goydia (hairstylist/student from Chino Hills, CA; ran in with/stalked Paul Walker)
Steve Altes (technical writer orig. from Syracuse, NY; met Jeff Goldblum on his way to the gym)
Jaime Veuklich (instructor from Moorpark, CA; involved with Dick Van Dyke and a golf cart)

Lookie lookie, it's our good friend Steve Altes... Now, he was a former "On the Cover" contestant, which means that I personally expect him to own today.

Round 1: Kim ID's Demi Moore and Luke Perry. Time for a Celebrity Train Wreck: Courtney Love. Clay "It's about frickin' time you got to release that second CD" Aiken leads us to break with Steve in the lead, 250 to Kim's 200 and Jaime's 150.

Round 2: wank guitars mean it's time to See Cups. Clues... "One dynamic duo"... "those are definitely super"... "most definitely has the weapons to 'kill Bill'". Kim gets Uma Thurman. Next up, George Hamilton and a Mug Shot of Edward Furlong. Jaime takes the lead after this one, 550 to Kim's 400 and Steve's 350.

Round 3: let out your fiercest Power Ranger yell, because it's time to be like... Bruce Lee. After that battle royale, Steve comes from behind to the W with 950 to Jaime's 750 and Kim's 600.

Bonus Round for a trip to Hawaii: it's between rubber-suited radioactive monster Godzilla and designer-suited radioactive monster Star Jones Reynolds. Steve polishes off both radioactive monsters in 10 questions to win the trip. Way to go, brother...
