Episode 29.1 - Two Not-Broke Men
January 9

Jason: lol
Chico: *scat singing*
Gordon: No love for Peter Marshall?
Chico: We love Peter Marshall. ABC... not so much.
Gordon: Anyways, we're back and it's time to do some infiltrating. Start us off.
Chico: First up...

We've seen celebrities play TPIR for fun and profit. And they did a bang-up job with it. Not giving producers any ideas, what game show should Hollywood tackle next?

Gordon: The sister show, of course - Let's Make a Deal.
Jason: YES :)
Gordon: And it's been done in the old version, so this would be a smooth transition
Chico: I like it.
Jason: Because all the other shows have done celebs in one form or another. LMAD is the only one left.
Gordon: Next one...

Jillian Michaels needs a new gig. She got booted from the Doctors. Now assuming The Biggest Loser wouldn't take her back, do you think she could be a good hostess for any of the faux weight loss competition shows out there?

Jason: Actually there is a new show debuting that I might be interested in...FAT CHEF on the Food Network
Jason: I like the new direction of the network BTW
Chico: ... If only Oprah was still on the air. Oh well.
Gordon: I could see her do that - or if they wanted to reboot the Celebrity Fit Club franchise.
Chico: That'd be a good fit. Pun intended.
Gordon: Cute. next?
Chico: Next...

Jason Keller could be on any game show he wants and probably kill it. So what's his next challenge?

Jason: Millionaire for one. Even with the new format he will kill it.
Gordon: That's a natural progression to MIllionaire, but I'd like to see what he can do on Million Dollar Mind game. He's obviously a gamer.
Chico: Obviously. That would be on Team Awesome II. All he needs are five of his buds. ... Three right here.
Jason: Bingo.
Chico: Just saying. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

We discussed Brandy on the X Factor. What about Nicole Scherzinger on the British version?

Jason: Um...no. She needs to just GO AWAY.
Chico: What about no.
Jason: Seriously, she blew two people careers with her indecision.
Chico: Have to agree. I mean, if you're hired to be a judge, you have to be a judge 110% out of the gate. She wasn't. She needs to go.
Gordon: True, but I think the people in the UK get more out of this than the US. She may be a better fit.
Jason: Are you kidding? if she pulled this stuff in the UK she would be thrown out and burned at the stake.
Gordon: I could see her tied to the mast of a yacht and being floated back over here though
Chico: Creative, both of you. Let's try this...

Here's a question... Who's the next game show frequent flyer to show up on Who's Still Standing?

Jason: Another Suchard?
Gordon: Well I haven't seen Travis Schario on the show (and I've seen him in the promos), so...
Chico: Sure, take the logical route, why don't you?
Gordon: Sure will. Last one...

Ben Flajnik is the Bachelor, which is getting really sad ratings so far. Forget Dancing with the Stars. How would he do on Survivor?

Jason: Not well.
Gordon: I'm going to take a different angle. He's charismatic, hence he has a silver tongue. That could take him far.
Chico: I can see where that's going to help him LATER, but he's gotta get that far.
Gordon: He's strong, and he has a personality. He could surprise.
Chico: It's al about physicality to start, and I don' t think he's that strong a guy.
Gordon: He may have a much better chance of finding love.
Jason: That's true
Chico: Yeah, well, what's the over-under on marriage?
Gordon: 6.9%
Chico: Figured as much. Okay, we got a break, and when we come out of it, it's Happy Toilet Time!
Jason: Its clean too!

(Brought to you by Irresolute. Who's the first person to break their New Year's reaolution? Have you done so already?)

Chico: .... Pending. I had a resolution: lose 24 pounds in three months. It's been a week.
Gordon: and you lose how much?
Chico: Haven't checked yet I'll check it on Monday. It's important to weigh yourself at the same time using the same scale ... on a regular basis. Science. Welcome back to the show, thanks for being a part of our week and allowing us to be a part of yours.
Jason: Glad to be here.
Chico: Time once again to take the best shows spring has to offer... and plunge them.
Jason: Hamsters...the toilet please.

*hams wheel SuperToilet in*

Chico: Okay, fasten your seatbelts!

	DANCING WITH THE STARS ABC - TBA
	CHICO	GORDON	JASON	PASTRY
	PASTRY	PASTRY	PASTRY

Jason: Pastry. Depends on the cast and execution
Gordon: I'm pastrying regradless. The past 3 seasons casts have been less than compelling and I don't know how many more 'celebrities' they have without scraping the bottom of the barrel and giving us Coolio, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and the rest of the Syfy Saturday night movie cast.
Chico: Same here. On principle. How about at least a B-grader once in a while. Final one...

	CHICO	GORDON	JASON	PASTRY
	PASTRY	PASTRY	PASTRY

Gordon: I'll give it a shot. Pastry
Chico: Was originally going to bow at the end of this month, but then a little show on Spike TV beat it to the punch.
Jason: Which will be the better of two shows - PASTRY
Chico: I'll tell you right now, if this gets benched, it'll be the SECOND show that Kimberly Caldwell hosted that was benched.
Gordon: I don't think it will be her fault in either case.
Chico: No, just saying. Pastry in any event. Okay, that should be it for now. Of course, this listing can and will change, so keep and eye out. Meanwhile, we have one more break

(Brought to you by Doctor Who's Still Standing? One Time Lord is in for the fight of his life against a Dalek, a Sontaran, a Slitheen, a Cyberman, an Auton, a Weeping Angel, a Silent, a Silurian, a Sea Devil, and the Master. The only show on TV where if you blink, you're dead. Dropping out seems tame by comparison)

Jason: WIN!
Chico: Credit Gordon for the assist.
Jason: Ok you both win
Chico: And speaking of, it's time for the Extreme Speed round of death! That starts... NOW.
Chico: How long does Dan McShane last on Jeopardy! Maybe one or two more games.
Gordon: I'll say midweek. Who's still standing: Million Dollar winner?
Jason: No press release, hence no winner.
Chico: Nope. Face Off. As good as the first season?
Jason: Better.
Gordon: I agree. Any other emails?
Chico: Nope. But that can change.
Chico: you can drop us a line at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com or find us on Facebook... OR... if you haven't got the time... we're on Twitter now. Follow us @WLTIonGSNN
Gordon: And that's this week's show. Special thanks to Jason Block and Quisla Alexander for joining us.
Jason: And Thank you
Gordon: Next week: More of the same and maybe more Quisla.
Jason: We would like that :)
Chico: Until then, for Gordon and EVERYONE at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander. Thanks for reading. Game over, and spread the love. :-)
