Round 1 ($100 per word): connect GET with HOP. Tanya gets OUT, while Maurya calls her BELL hop. Tanya goes out BACK. Billy goes back STAGE, and Tanya rattles off the entire chain, finishing with DOOR for the $400-$100 lead. Speed Chain: TOILET - P - W - LIFTER. Is it "Paper Weight?" Yep.

Round 2 ($200 per word): connect FLAT with SHORTCAKE. Donovan gets STRAWBERRY Shortcake. Morgan gets WILD strawberry. James is a flat FOOT.

Round 3 ($300 per word): connect CHRIS with SPOT.

Final Speed Chain: SMEAR - C - T - MIX. They don't get "Campaign Trail".

Round 4: connect JUNE with AROUND. The chain: JUNE - WEDDING - PICTURE - PERFECT - ? - STICK - AROUND, as the game becomes a bit more heated with the guys coming back to lead, $1900 to $1800. Now comes the final word. It begins with M... Billy says "Match"... Got it! Guys win, $2000 to $1800.

Bonus Round: James gets blinded. The guys get pirate (finally!). But that's it..

 
¿Qué Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
Chaparro (Alejandro, Andrea, Ana Paula, Rosalba, Milady
Lavayen (Bianchi, Andres, Deyda, Jorge, Alberto)

After a technical fault, the Chaparros are back to see if they can't get some of that sweet Univision bling... but after the doubler, it's all about the Lavayens, 283-67.

Triple Round: something that gets wrinkled when it gets old (3). Milady gets #1, a body. Other two: clothes and... grapes? Let's hope so for the Lavayens... Got it with fruit for the win, 568-283.

Jorge starts Dinero Rápido with 76. Alberto gets another 131, for the big $5000.

But can they do it again?

Jaramillo (John, Olga, Maria, Luz, Maria Victoria); $6500, three games
Lavayen (Bianchi, Andres, Deyda, Jorge, Alberto); $5000

After three, the Jaramillos lead, 132-44. Double: something you have to teach kids how to hold correctly (3). Jorge fires with a spoon. Alberto follows with a bottle. Deyda gets a pencil for the sweep for 238 to 132.

Triple: an occasion where you take family photos (4). A wedding is #3 for Maria Victoria, but a birthday is #1 for Alberto. An anniversary is #4. Will Christmas do it for the challengers? Yep! They win it 514-132.

(C-Note: about the names on the screen thing... spoke too soon)

Jorge and Alberto return to DR, where Jorge draws... Buena suerte. He and Alberto team up for 133, giving the family another $500, giving them $5500 today.

Amy's still in the lead with 550 to Shaun's 450 and Allison's 200.

Round 3: Ever thought you would see three Taylor Hickses at once? Taylor Amy owns this game, winning with 1350 to Shaun's 850 and Allison's 200.
