Chain Reaction by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9p ET/8p CT on GSN
Host: Dylan Lane
Randy, David & Jon (Bronx boys)
Sara, Brigid & Adriana (Jersey girls)

Round 1 ($100 per word): connect BIG with STAND. Sara starts on a BIG FOOT. Brigid follows with BAND STAND and HOUSE BAND. Adriana follows with #3 BRIDGE. Randy gets the CLUB before the fill-in required by Dylan. Chain: BIG - FOOT - BRIDGE - CLUB - HOUSE - BAND - STAND. They trail, $400 to $100, but here's the Speed Chain for them: PARALLEL - P - S - ALIEN. This one's for Tim Connolly. They get "Parking Space" for another $100.

Round 2 ($200 per word): connect WRINKLE with RECOGNITION. The girls gets #2 CREAM. The guys gets #3 SODA. Brigid follows with a soda FOUNTAIN. David writes with a fountain PEN, while Jon gets some NAME recognition. Chain: WRINKLE - CREAM - SODA - FOUNTAIN - PEN - NAME - RECOGNITION. Speed Chain: MASSAGE - T - G - HUG. "Therapy group" is a chain for for the lead, $1000 to $800.

Round 3 ($300 per word): connect SILLY with ALOUD. Adriana is a silly GOOSE for the lead. That form of the word jazz comes into play with #6 READING, eventually gotten by Sara, but not before Adriana gets goose DOWN. Jon follows with down JACKET, while the men finish it off with REQUIRED. Chain: SILLY - GOOSE - DOWN - JACKET - REQUIRED - READING - ALOUD. Final Speed Chain: FINAL - D - D - STADIUM. They don't get "Draft Dodger". But with the score at $1700 to $1600 for the women, it's still anyone's game.

Round 4: connect PICKLED with OUT. The chain: PICKLED - BEET - RED - HERRING - BONE - CHILLING - OUT. That herringbone does it for the ladies, $2000 to $1600.

Bonus... Round... Time: give Brigid the blindfold, please and thank you. They get Simon Cowell, roller coaster, and rubber duck. Not enough.

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Chaparro (Alejandro, Andrea, Cielo, Rosalba, Milady)
Perez (Iris, Ambar, Carlos, Gloria, Elio)

After three, the Chaparros lead, 123-51. The double: the first thing you do on payday (4). Gloria goes shopping for #1. We also pay bills, deposit the check, and... one missing. Can the Chaparros take the game with "go out to eat"? Nope. The Perez get 193. Other answer: cash the check.

Triple Round: something hard to remove from the sole of your shoe (3). Milady fires with gum, #1. No more answers, and the Perez try to steal with a nail... Got it for the win, 424-123. Other answer: the heel.

Ambar and Carlos play Dinero Rápido, but first, Marco Antonio pulls out his trusty dictionary to reveal that one of the answers given in the Triple Round by the Chaparros was indeed correct. Look for them on a future episode. Meanwhile, the Perez family can only come up with 161 for $500.

Perez (Iris, Ambar, Carlos, Gloria, Elio); $500
Pernia (Roxanna, Greylis, Pablo, Olga, Anamercris); $1000, two games

After three, the Perez lead, 130-74. Double: a mode of transportation that one has when he is very rich (3). Gloria flies high on a jet plane for #1. The rest of the family comes up with limousine. Can the Pernias steal with helicopter? Nope. The Perez take the points for  286. Other answer: luxury car.

Triple: if you were going by what you saw in the movies, something done by the Mafia (3). Anamercris gets #3, robbing. Roxanna gets #2, killing. Greylis gets #1, drug trafficking for the win, 305-286.

Olga gets the fruit basket rights today, as she pulls... buena suerte. Olga scores 91. Pablo scores three zeroes for 143. Darn. They get $1500 for three games.

Round 1: Rosie O in a doc's outfit and Mischa Barton in lunch goes right into the Hot Corner, with... Heidi Klum. Too... damn... hot. Mark McGwire leads us to break with Joel in the lead, 500 to Michelle's 250 and Royce's 50.

Round 2: we start with See Cups... "A real boob"... "Newly separated"... "Chicken of the C up." It's Jessica Simpson. Speaking of, next up is Tom Hanks. Next up, a Mug Shot of Hank Williams, Jr.

Round 3: let's put on our "Lenos", talk about hardware, and make chin jokes. Joel makes this game a non-issue, winning 1900 to Michelle's 650 and Royce's 250.

Bonus Round for a trip to Mexico: it's between Charles Manson and... Kathie Lee Gifford. Joel gets... seven for $700.
