Gordon: The past few weeks, we have been treated so some very good Password playing. If the sneak previews are to be believed, this episode...will not feature that same quality of game-playing. But hopefully, Jason Block, Don Harpwood, Joe Mello, and myself, Gordon Pepper, will have some fun.
Jason: Let's hope
Joe: hi
Don: I'm going to go ahead and bet that no one gets to the $100,000 level this week.
Gordon: I think that's a good guess. Our guests - from 'Wings' and 'Brothers and Sisters', Steven Weber. Stephen gets Emily Reynolds, who's a PR coordinator for a fabric company - and she blanks when asked about her favorite velvet. Oh boy. The other guest - Shanna Moakler, who has already shown that she's not smarter than a kindergartner. Her unlucky partner is Corins McGlown
Joe: This lady has done some homework beforehand
Gordon: She's written 800 passwords to give clues to. Of course, the problem is that she has to give them to Shanna, and good luck in that.
Don: Heh.
Gordon: Steve and Emily start first
ELIMINATION ROUND

Gordon: VIncent...Millay?
Don: lol
Jason: Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Gordon: There's a stretch. Emily says blame it on the blondeness. Anyone feel sad that we forgot about Vincent Price?
Don: Yep.
Gordon: Let's not forget about Shana and Corine, who are next.

Gordon: Needed Seven, after Days to make a week. Emily gives to Steve

Gordon: To run faster is to jog?
Joe: Walk faster
Gordon: Second time around for Shana and Corine...

Gordon: She got 4 out of Shanna, which is impressive.
Joe: No one heard of a crucifix?
Gordon: Guess Corine wasn't thinking that. We're tied at 7. Time to switch celebrities. Emily and Shana start first.

Now it's Corine and Steven's turn.

Gordon: We get our first 5 for 5. Corine says that none of these words matched the words she was using, but it doesn't matter, because she's in great shape. Emily needs at least 2 to tie, but she really needs them all...

Gordon: Corine needs 2 to win and to play with Steve in the Bonus Round.

Gordon: Corine wins and plays with Steven for a Million! And if you didn't think Shanna was a bubblehead before...you know now.
Jason: ROFL
Don: Heh.
Gordon: Do you think there's any shot that Corine won't even get to $25,000?
Joe: I don't think they're that bad
Gordon: Corine was raised by her grandmother, and some of the money will go to get grandma...a guitar.
Joe: $1,000,000 will buy a lot of Fenders
Gordon: Corine will give. Smart girl.
Don: Judging by how close we are to the halfway point of the show, I don't see her getting too far. Maybe $25,000, but I'd think that's about it.
Gordon: Steve is wondering why the panel is raising when they're going for the money. He's getting nervous - which is strange coming from someone who was on a comedy show about airplanes. Maybe he's nervous about trying to get Corine $10,000...

Jason: WOW :)
Gordon: Corine has $10,000
Joe: Svelte 11 clues there
Don: So far, so good.
Gordon: Indian would have gotten TeePee. Fortunately for Steven, the podium does not go higher - but Corine's bank account can if she gets 5 out of 9.
Gordon: After a loooong pause, Corine decides to play.

Jason: 10 clues there.
Joe: And 5/5
Gordon: That's 5 - and that's $25,000 for Corine.
Gordon: It's time for the Freebie. 5 out of 8 for $50,000
Joe: Looks like the tension is starting to show

Gordon: Corine has $50,000!
Joe: Another 11...awesome pace
Gordon: Will she go for $100,000? More importantly, will she make it?
Joe: I think that if she doesn't fall apart and the curve doesn't take a sharp stab upwards (which it very well could do), she has 100K
Gordon: She's a good player. It's Steven that I'm worried about.
Joe: He's been getting a couple toughies on 1 clue, though
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: Corine needs 5 out of 7.
Jason: And a valium :)
Gordon: But she can quit right now with the $50,000. She...decides to play. Here we go...

Jason: Ouch.
Gordon: She gave bad clues.
Jason: She panicked.
Don: I'd have said weapon for sword.
Joe: Excalibur. Lovely, bunch for coconuts
Gordon: I can't blame this one on Steven. Corine does leave with $25,000, which can give her grannie a nice guitar.
Joe: And a nice present for her boyfriend
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: It's already 8:35. I sense a very short second game.
Joe: Are you sensing our first $0?
Don: Wouldn't surprise me.
Joe: To be honest, I find the ladder sort of idiot-proof, but you know what happens when you idiot-proof something
Jason: You find the proof of the idiot :)
Gordon: Shanna has Jack Garrity this game, and he's a CPA from Weymouth, MA. Chelle Best, from Birmingham Alabama (who produces shows for a church) plays with Steven. Chelle and Steven start.



ELIMINATION ROUND

Gordon: Host...Regis? Steve, do you really think that they are going to use'Regis' as a word?
Jason: ROFL
Joe: Makes sense here
Don: No kidding.
Gordon: Steve drew a blank, but they did get 4. How will Shanna do?

Joe: Jack was the problem there, I think
Gordon: I agree. Can't blame Shana. Steve and Chelle play Round 2.

Joe: 6 clues!
Jason: Wow.
Gordon: Time for Jack and Shana...

Jason: Wow...Jack is not good.
Gordon: This could be short for a different reason
Joe: I was thinking that, too
Gordon: Time to switch. Chelle now has to deal with Shana.

Jason: Mediterranean?
Gordon: That would have done it, but Chelle still has a commanding 13 to 5 lead. Jack must get at least 3 or we don't see a 4th round.

Gordon: 13-7 - and Jack can't catch up.
Jason: He is out :)
Gordon: This is the first time in the history of the show that we don't see a 4th round.
Jason: Wow. Wow. Wow.
Gordon: And THAT'S why we have a short game.
Joe: The problems in that game: just Jack
Gordon: That was pretty brutal. The 7 is also the lowest losing score - a feat that I think will not be touched for awhile.
Joe: Not until series 2
Gordon: Chelle has a few kids - and she will give to Steve.
Don: Seems like every player has given the clues at this point in the game. I'm waiting to see if one will choose to receive.
Gordon: So far - it hasnt happened. Steve's still getting air sick on the elevating platform. This is for $10,000...

Gordon: 7 Clues. $10,000. Will Chelle risk $10,000 for $25,000?
Jason: Of course she will.
Gordon: And she does.

Gordon: Wow. We almost had our first $0.
Don: Close call.
Jason: Very
Joe: Doesn't look like there's enough time to try for $100,000. Of course, after that last round...
Gordon: The last round was scary. Forunately, if she blows it now, she loses nothing.

Joe: Good clues for croissant, though
Gordon: It was - but bad for Chelle, who gets no more than $25,000.
Jason: Oh well.
Joe: A great first round gone horrendous there
Jason: Not one of their better efforts.
Don: I hope we see better gameplay next week.
Joe: Next week, Steve Schirripa and Sara Evans
Gordon: Ironically, the problems were not the celebrities. The problems were the contestants.
Jason: Yeah.
Gordon: So hopefully we'll get better contestants. For the crew that all wants to be contestants, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Game Over...and spread the word.
