Episode 5
June 29

Chico: If it's Sunday at 8, then America is playing Million Dollar Password.
Gordon: That's right. Gordon Pepper here, being joined by Chico Alexander, Jason Block, Alex Davis, Joe Mello and Don Harpwood
Chico: Tonight, country singer Sara Evans and actor/author Steve Schirripa.
Joe: Pretty decent caliber of stars tonite.
Chico: Should be. On the one hand, you have Steve, who's played Pyramid and has a way with words. On the other hand... there's Sara Evans... who's a wild card at best. Let's get this thing started.
Gordon: No one has passed $100,000 yet. Will tonight be the night?
Chico: Steve is playing with Ochi Scobie of LA. She ran with the bulls, skydove, and on a prime time game show with a cast member of the Sopranos.
Gordon: Sara says that this is her first game show.
Chico: What?
Gordon: LIAR! Have we so quickly forgotten Dancing With the Stars?
Jason: Wow.
Chico: Sara's playing with Jesse Green, a security guard from Brooklyn.

11 - WIN!

Chico: It's over. Ochi wins, 11-10. She'll play with Steve.
Joe: Socialite's tricky unless they would take Social
Chico: Yeah. We're getting into Cashword level difficulty. Oh. Here's a clue.. Debutante.
Joe: If you can get out of giving 1-2 syllable words, that might work
Gordon: Whoever starts with Steve is going to have a huge advantage
Jason: Pretty much so.
Chico: Okay, time for the money round with Ochi and Steve.
Joe: Apparently, Ochi had to sneak into Pamplona
Chico: Because they don't allow women to run with the bulls. Should she win the money, she wants to get rid of the debt of her, her sister, and her dad... and she wants to open her own business in Hawaii. Ochi elects to GIVE...
Gordon: Which is what every contestant has decided to do so far
Joe: I have a feeling that will remain the case. Interesting, Ochi's on a box
Chico: Steve... He's tall...Let's play for a million!

Chico: Steve's getting a heart attack here.
Gordon: We almost had a llama
Chico: Could still have one.
Jason: Wow.
Chico: Next round is 5 of 9. This could get hair-rasing.
Joe: I think the issues with the first word snowballed there.
Gordon: Ochi plays on.
Chico: For $25,000... here's your first word... Go.

Gordon: And we DO have a llama.

Chico: Ouch.
Gordon: Bye bye, $10,000. Ochi leaves with nothing.
Chico: Steve wants to pay her out of pocket. Doesn't work that way, dude.
Gordon: Steve apologizes. I thought you said the celebrities would be good.
Chico: Hey, we still have another game to play.
Joe: Both sides were to blame there
Alex: Yeah she gave some crappy clues.
Chico: Crowd still cheers her name, though.
Joe: Halftime was gettable with those clues, though
Don: No kidding... lol
Joe: Futon might've been gettable given 5 more seconds, but I would've started with sofabed.
Chico: Japanese... couch...bed.
Joe: Again, everyone at fault. Bad clues, bad guessing.
Gordon: I think tonight may be a challenge to get to $25,000, let alone $100,000.
Chico: Again, second game gives me hope.
Gordon: Do we get new celebrities to come with the new contestants?
Chico: ...no.
Gordon: Then I don't have much hope.
Chico: Heh. Steve plays with Krystal Marshall of the ATL. She works as a nanny.
Gordon: She has her own Password Tournaments.
Chico: She's apparently a fan. They play for booze.
Joe: Best home game I've heard of ;)
Chico: Sara plays with Brandon Fake of Reading, PA. He's a film student, who's casting his senior thesis.
Gordon: Regis suggests Steve to cast for his thesis.

Joe: So we now have elements of Password, Pyramid, and Go
Chico: Brandon leads at the half, 8-7. They're all created by the same guy. And now the theme is in my head. Thank you, Joe.
Joe: :P Is that coincidence or irony?
Chico: A little from column A and a little from column B.
Joe: But we finally have a match. Think that was the first time they switched to a contestants+Regis shot - for good reason of course. Time for the celeb switchover.

Gordon: I'll take Paris Hilton right now over Steve Schirippa.
Chico: You mean to play the game, right?
Gordon: Yes
Chico: ... because if you meant the other way, I'd totally dig it.
Joe: I think we'd all take Paris over Steve for other tasks ....
Jason: Pretty much :)
Don: Yep.
Chico: Brandon plays with Sara.
Joe: That may be the better option right now
Gordon: At least Sara knows she can't do worse than Steve...
Joe: Yes she can
Chico: That's on Brandon.
Gordon: Brandon gives - which I think is also a smart move.
Joe: Sara "I give Password like a broken record" Evans

Alex: If you had Paris Hilton with the hotdog clue, she may have said "choke"
Chico: instantrimshot.com
Joe: Since when it could be two words?
Chico: (Shrugs) Brandon wants to continue and plays it.

Chico: Already Brandon has more than Ochi
Don: Good to know someone is going to leave with some cash tonight.
Alex: Sara's doing pretty well now. She realizes her mistake and physically buttons her lips before she says anything.
Gordon: And that's also a great visual cue to Brandon to not give up the word.
Alex: Yes it is.
Joe: We think Sara's starting to get it?
Chico: Perhaps.
Jason: 6 minutes left though.
Joe: Enough for one more round
Chico: He's either going to walk with $50,000 or crash out... which are really the only two options.
Alex: I really don't like the whole new self contained trend in primetime game shows. It really ruins some of the excitement.
Joe: I can understand why they have it here, though
Alex: It's easier for airing orders, I know, but a lot of the tension is sucked out.
Chico: That's true. Let's go for $50,000.

Chico: Game over.
Alex: He screwed up. that was all his fault on that one.
Joe: Shouldn't have passed on Diet
Gordon: Shouldn't have passed without giving at least one clue on each word, period.
Chico: He froze. He totally froze. But he has $25,000, which is $25,000 more than what Ochi has.
Gordon: Well that episode was...underwhelming.
Joe: Agreed. Next week: Monique Coleman and Damien Fahey
Gordon: You think we'll have a better show next week?
Joe: Don't hold your breath >_>
Gordon: So for everyone, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Game Over - and Spread the Word.
