Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Jaramillo (John, Olga, Maria, Luz, Maria Victoria)
Ortiz (Maria Beatriz, Fernando, Cecilia, Camilo, Tatiana)

The Jaramillos are serving up a giant butt-whupping with a 183-point lead, 183-0, after three rounds. Double: something you find in a man's wallet (3). Camilo gets and ID card, #3. Money is #1 for Luz. All they need now is #2... Photos! They win, 375-0.

Dinero Rápido: John and Maria Victoria are up at the board. Maria Victoria gets 99. John can only get so far as 162 for $500.

Meneses (Lazaro, Lilia, David, Maria, Ivan); $2500; four games
Jaramillo (John, Olga, Maria, Luz, Maria Victoria); $500

It's the last chance for the Meneses to grab that brass ring. After three, they lead, 137-98. Double round: something cats play with (3). Luz plays with a ball for #1. Yarn is good for #3. Mice rounds out the sweep for 288.

Triple Round: a professional it's hard to talk to (4). Ivan talks to a doctor. Number three. A lawyer... #1 for Maria Victoria. The police is up there for #4. One last chance for the Meneses with a teacher... Not there! We have new champs! Jaramillos win it, 489-288. Other answer: politician.

Maria Victoria and John are back at Dinero Rápido, where Maria Victoria gets... $500 bonus! That brings the family to $1500 AT LEAST. Maria Victoria gets 126. John gets the rest for $5000, giving the family $6000 for two games.

 
Starface by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  9:30p ET/8:30p CT on GSN
Host: Danny Bonaduce
Michelle Kazz (teacher from LA; met Leonardo DiCaprio... worked with his mom)
Ted DeVirgilus (teacher from Scranton, PA; asked Vanessa Carlton out on a date)
Stacey Majors (executive assistant orig. from Chicago; spilled coffee on Robert Plant)

Round 1: Claire Danes gets the ball rolling. Next up, Daryl Hannah and a visit to the National Enquirer Hot Corner with Taye Diggs (and Ted went to school with him). Harrison Ford leads us to a break with Ted and Stacey in a dead heat with 350 each. Michelle.. just happy to be here.

Round 2: Jodie Foster and her big freaking hair are not in the Starface Yearbook... but these clues are... "What planet are you from?"... "I'm a free spirit, and you're kinda neurotic with the freaky lips.." No one gets Garry Shandling. Speaking of bad photos, here's a Mug Shot of Cynthia Watros (from "Lost"). After, surprise surprise, no one knows who she is, Ted goes into the lead with 650 to Stacey's 350. And hey! Give it up for Michelle; she's on with 200.

Round 3: let's put on our "Martins". No, not Steve Martin, it's Martin Lawrence. And guess who takes this game? Not Stacey with 750... Not Ted with 850. I found you, Miss Come From Behind, it's Michelle with 1000.

Bonus Round for a trip to Cancun: this time Michelle gets to compare rocker Ozzy Osbourne... and faux rocker and Starface host Danny Bonaduce. Michelle only gets seven for $700.
