100 Mexicanos Dijeron by Jason Hernandez, GSNN

Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil
STAY TUNED...
 
 
Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Letzer (Aidan, Thad, Devin, Rivata, Briana)
Parsons (Tim, Charise, Tiffany, Chantel, Taryn) from Arizona; $41,340, four days

It looks like the Parsons are going to ride this gravy train all the way to the Victory Junction, but not if the Letzers have anything to say about it. Round 1: something Marilyn Monroe will always be remembered for (6). Aidan gets #2, the blown-up dress. Tim tries Kennedy... #5. Thad acts for #4. Rivata gets #1, her platinum blonde hair. Going back to Kennedy for that birthday song at #3.  It goes to the champs, who go with her... boobs. But that's already said (sort of), so they go with her suicide... Not there, the Letzers have 94. Other answer: her mole.

Round 2: a four letter word that's something everyone wants (6). Twenty-two people each said cash (Thad) and food (Charise), but it goes to the challengers. But they pass. Taryn wants love for #1. The Letzers have a chance with "luck"... Got it for 174! Other answer: gold, hope.

Double Round: the kind of dancing you think is the hardest (5). Salsa is good for #3 for Devin. Briana gets #1, the tango, while the rest of the family... strikes out. The Parsons go with ballet.. Up there for 64! Other answer: breakdancing, waltz.

Triple Round: something you spend more money on the older you get (4). Rivata gets #1, healthcare. Aidan gets #4, vacations. Devin gets #3, car. Over to the Parsons for #2... They hope it's life insurance... Not there! The Letzers win it, 366-64. Other answer: clothes/shoes (said!)

The apparently very sexy Thad and Devin can't convert in Fast Money for $720.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Michael Cramer (graduate student from Virginia Beach, VA); $22,600
Jeanne McDougall (communications consultant from San Diego)
Bill McDonald (attorney from Vinita Springs, FL)

The Unofficial Game Show Congress Week on Jeopardy! continues with Michael stepping up to podium #1 to defend. He starts it off with $200 Europe. Jeanne steps up as she finds the Daily Double under $1000 Presidential Fast Facts. In the lead by $400, she bets all of her $1200 on the only 20th Century President who didn't attend formal college. "Who was Abraham Lincoln?" Not even in the 20th Century, as Harry Truman zaps her to zero, a tie with Bill.

After the break, it's a two-man race between Michael's $2600 and Bill's $4200 at the end of the round. Jeanne, still at the zero mark (actually better than she had been; she was in the red once) starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Crusades. At $9800, Bill would find the first Daily Double under $1600 Also a State Capital. He goes $4500 on another word for a peace treaty. "What is Concord?" Right for $14,300.  But now it's Michael's chance to get into the game with $1200 Soft "G", the other Daily Double. He bets $4000 on a "fitting" or "pertinent" homophone for a famous pop quintet member. He blanks. It was "germane" (as in Michael and Tito's brother), as Michael drops to $1000. An up-and-down game for Michael ends downward as he is out at -$600, meaning we will have a new champion today as Michael leaves with $23,600. As for Jeanne with $5200 and Bill with $14,300... well, it's just peas and carrots now, isn't it?

Final Jeopardy! in "20th Century Books": this 1972 book, a bestseller in 2005, begins "We were somewhere around Barstow... when the drugs began to take hold." Correct question: What is "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson?

Way to take all the drama out of it. Bill wins this one hands down with $18,199.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
Katrina Morris, Derrick Davis, Theresa Kales, and Regina Gordine get things started with a comfort-spa. Katrina gets that spa and a chance at luggage, a recumbent bike, and dinnerware. And winning all of that is Easy as 1-2-3. 1 goes with the dinnerware ($875). 2 goes with the luggage ($1500). 3 goes with the exercycle ($1999). And a win goes with her.

Theresa collects a curio clock, and you know what looks good on that? Money! The kind you make playing Plinko! After getting chips from Bob, a humidifier, a CD rack and a radio, she translates them into $2600.

Derrick manages a set of language courses, and he can learn how to say Ten Chances in Spanish now. Los premios: a crepe maker, a pair of electric guitars, and a Ford Focus! First, though, the crepe maker, with the numbers 5, 0, and 3 to work with. He tries $30. Boom. Done. Now to the guitars with 8, 2, 0, and 6. It takes two chances for him to win the $620 cherry axes. Now to the car, which has 8, 1, 7, 0, and 9. It takes all but three chances, but he's got himself a $18,970 set of wheels. And speaking of wheels, Derrick manages to conquer a big one, as he's going to the Showcase.

Thing I learned watching TPIR #634: "Don't shout Phire' in a crowded building."

Regina gets a cotton candy cart in round 4, but can she get a home theatre sofa group with an HDTV? She can if she Picks a Pair of products that have the same price. On offer, Hunt's tomatoes, Gold Bond lotion, Campbell's tomato soup (possibilities!), Marie Callender's Fettuccine Alfredo, Airborne Jr., and Mrs. Dash seasoning. He goes with the tomatoes... 99 cents. Now to the soup... 99 cents!

We've got a gold/diamond ring, and now Mia Magdaleno has a gold/diamond ring! And she's got a Chevrolet HHR after going boom, boom, on the Money Game. Middle number: 5. Choices: 15, 62, 84, 48, 17, 71, 29, 33, 16. 17's in front, 84's in the back. Just like that, another new car rolling out of CBS.

Finally, Bob offers a gas grill. Bethany Berger gets the grill and the shot at a trip to Copenhagen. The game is Coming or Going. Coming is $4538. Going is $8354. She's coming... and she should've gone. Mia goes to the Showcase after besting her competition. Meanwhile Jeffrey, who high-fives a page for luck (I've seen this page, she's a tall drink of water)... is stuck in Contestant's Row.

First up in the Showcase, Raggedy Ann, who looks good for 90. She gets tossed on a rocking chair, tossed in a washer/dryer, tossed on a motor scooter, and gets a ride in a Chevrolet Impala. Top winner Derrick bids $22,500. Meanwhile, Mia gets a bedroom with sleep set, towels, and a hovercraft. She bids $25,000. Actual price: $20,809. She's over. Actual price of Derrick's Showcase: $26,347. He's your big winner with $47,237.

 
Trato Hecho by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time:  Noon ET/11a CT on Univision
Host: Guillermo Huesca
The first play had Juan and his wife go for a case on the Price Switching game, but they don't win it because they were off by 1 switch. Ouch. They exchange their money for Curtain #3 and get a refrigerator worth $1,899!

The second segment has Musketeer Rofalleo deciding between Curtain #2 and a mystery check. He goes for the check, turning down a lawn mower and a storage cabinet worth $797 - and then turns down a $300 buyout offer. Inside the check is $100. Awwww.

We have a check from the Home Depot starting at $10...and the last 2 numbers missing. Enrique the Indian gives away girl the Check to Joanna the school and gets...Chasco Bond the Mannequin as he is hiding with the secret agent spy animals. Joanna also gives away the check and they both give away a $1,000 check! Joanna gets Chasco Bond the mannequin who's now in the interrogation room. A pair of people get Chascoed as we go to...

The Gran Trato! Juan and his wife Cecilia go for it, as well as Rofalleo the Musketeer. Juan's wife selects door #2 and Rafael selects door #3> neither of them get Door #1, which is a barbecue set, china, bicycles, and a lobstergram worth a total of $2,569. The Musketeer...does NOT get the Gran Trato, but he does get $700. The Gran Trato, which is a new living room set complete with carpeting worth $5,543, goes to the couple, who seem very happy. Tune in tomorrow to see if we can keep the win streak going.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira
Last time, Navy doctor Megan Ryan (San Diego) operated to the tune of $2000. She still has her three lifelines as well. She'll use her first at $4000...

In a formal place setting, which of these utensils is traditionally placed farthest to the left?
A) Salad fork
B) Dinner knife
C) Soup spoon
D) Tea spoon

The audience returns with A, 80 percent, while AOL comes back the same with 61 percent. And Sarah knew it all along, just getting left and right. Only thing matters is that SHE'S right! Now she has to use another at $8000:

The word "regifting," which refers to the recycling of unwanted gifts, was popularized in a 1995 episode of what sitcom?
A) Home Improvement
B) Roseanne
C) Friends
D) Seinfeld

The 50/50 leaves A and D. She thought Seinfeld to start... and it's a good start for $8000. After breezing past $16,000, we go to $25,000:

Identified in 2005 as "Deep Throat," W. Mark Felt was formerly the second-in-command at what US agency?
A) FBI
B) State Department
C) Secret Service
D) CIA

She phones up her sister Tricia. "Okay, hold on... FBI. He was the former agent to the FBI." Sounds like a Googling. And Meredith calls her on it! Oh well, she wins the $25K anyway. Going to $50,000...

Which of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was built first?
A) Hanging Gardens of Babylon
B) Pyramids of Giza
C) Colossus of Rhodes
D) Lighthouse at Pharos

It would be smarter to Switch, so she does. She thinks it was A... It wasn't. It was B. Now to a new question...

Often made out of two thermometers, a psychrometer is an instrument used to measure what?
A) Air pressure
B) Humidity
C) Wind direction
D) Gravity

She goes with B... and she's right! Now to $100,000...

The phrase "eating humble pie" originally referred to a dish made from the innards of what animal?
A) Pheasant
B) Deer
C) Rabbit
D) Duck

She thinks it's either rabbit or deer. But will she go for it? She's taking a $25,000 risk on rabbit pie... It was deer pie. But husband Terry's happy with $25,000.  Next up, Michael Andrew (Iowa City, IA) is a corrections officer with one lousy car. You could call it a "hooptie." He's on the road to a new one, having breezed through the lower tier. Then to $2000 thanks to Ashton Kutcher. Then to $4000 thanks to Applebee's. Then to $8000 thanks to an estate tax. Then to $16,000 thanks to pizzazz not being able to be played in Scrabble, which gives him a look at the $25,000:

Which of the following is not the name of an island nation located in the Caribbean Sea?
A) Trinidad and Tobago
B) Suriname and Guyana
C) St. Kitts and Nevis
D) Antigua and Barbuda

He goes to the audience for this, and NYC returns with B, 82 percent, knowing that they're landlocked in South America. Meanwhile four out of 10 AOLers agree. He was leaning toward that... and he's going into tomorrow's show with $25,000 secured!
