Gordon: The losers get fed to the squid?
Chico: Among other ... prizes.
Gordon: nice. are you giving out plungers as prizes?
Chico: Yup. So far, not one person has answered all 1000 questions, so the
plunger is with me today... Helping us out with the Push or Flush... part 3.
Gordon: Too many shows. Not enough episode time, so we give out more episode
time.
Josh: Part 3? This is gonna be epic.
Chico: This is gonna be epic indeed, Josh. Everyone ready?
Josh: Let the trilogy complete!
Rob: I'm ready, Chairman.
Chico: We start with...

Jason: Food Network has the track record for quality shows. PUSH.
Gordon: I'm up for some Recipe Showdown. I like the fact that they will cook the recipes out, Iron-Chef styles. There's always room for Iron Chef. Push.
Josh: Grandmothers sitting at a table and trade old-country family recipes? If only...
Chico: It reminds me of the Pillsbury Cook-off... turned up a notch... and it has Marc Summers. PUSH.
Josh: Hmm, Marc Summers, you say? Sure, I'll PUSH.
Rob: I'm going for Push, you got 2 quality hosts, and what looks like to be one stiff competition just with recopies.
Chico: Five pushes. *fanfare* Next up...

Rob: Bad Band, Bad Show, Really Bad Idea to make another season of it. In the words of Joe Van Ginkel, Drain-o.
Josh: Another Pussycat show? How well did the last one do in ratings?
Chico: Bad show. Why a second season was ordered is beyond me... Writers.. come back! FLUSH.
Jason: You have got to be kidding me....FLUSH HARD.
Josh: You've fooled me once, PCD, but a second time is making me say "Wait A Minute"...FLUSH'D!
Gordon: Oh yeah. That worked out real well last time. It was so bad, that not even the winner wanted to join the group. At least she's giving the audience a message to stay away. FLUSH.
Chico: Five flushes... Our toilet's back'd up. You know what happens now. ONE! TWO! THREE!
Everyone: PLUNGE!
Chico: And freshen. *spray*
Jason: Yup....whoo boy what a stench.
Gordon: yuck
Chico: Next up...

Josh: Can I do what?
Chico: Et. Can you duet.: It's the search for the next great country duo.
Rob: Joy, another music show.
Gordon: Duets are only good if both people are talented. I'll give this one the benefit....but just barely. Pastry Push
Chico: I'll pastry as well, if only for the success of Nashville Star... which we haven't heard anything from this year... weird.
Rob: I'm flushing, I absolutely despise country music. So, I won't watch and won't care either.
Jason: What's the theme?
Chico: The theme?
Josh: Any celebrity judges?
Chico: None announced as of yet. They're casting as we speak.
Josh: Ahh...let's sit on the fence with this one, then
Jason: Pastry then.
Chico: Oh no... No fence sitting on Push or Flush.
Josh: Sure, I love pastries. PASTRY!
Chico: So there we go. Four pastries, one flush. Only logical, because that's what happens after four pastries. You have to flush.
Gordon: Nice
Josh: LOL
Chico: Next...

Josh: A dating show I presume?
Jason: And I don't want to watch....FLUSH.
Rob: Permission by the Chairman to quote Joe Van Ginkel again.
Chico: It's like Outback Jack... meets Cowboy U. ... or something. I have to get permission from Joe to use "Drano"... I'm sure he won't mind. I hope he won't mind.
Josh: Dating shows = 2000 FLUSHES.
Rob: Ok, "Drano"
Gordon: It's Outback Old MacDonald. Old MacDonald had a plunger. F-l-u-s-h. And a flush flush here, and a flush flush there. Here a flush, there a flush, everywhere a flush flush...
Chico: Well, I think dating shows like this are cute, with their hooks and their women hating on each other.
Gordon: Old McDonald had a plunger. D-r-a-n-o.
Josh: O-P-U-P-U
Chico: And the CW needs a hit. I think they have one in this!
Rob: No Chico, for all that is good, don't.
Chico: I'm kidding. FLUSH.
Rob: hahahahahahaha
Chico: Had you going didn't I?
Rob: You did.
Chico: Okay, let's count. ONE! TWO! THREE!
Everyone: PLUNGE!
Josh: Jiggle the handle!
Chico: RID-X afterwards! Wow. That was quite a load. Do NOT go in there. Whoo!
Jason: damn
Josh: I can still smell it out here...can we move to a different studio next show?
Jason: Lot of cowpies.
Josh: I hope this is rhetorical.
Chico: Next...

Jason: This is a game show fan's dream. I think with real contestants this could be fun. Mild PUSH.
Rob: Now that is one quality piece of Push right here. I am hoping Scott Stone calls Corbin Bernsen to host this.
Chico: This is truly the reality show for people who hate reality shows. PUSH.
Josh: Just so long as we don't have the cornfield maze challenge for the dubrillionth time...PUSH!!
Gordon: Oh, Chico.
Chico: Oh, Gordon.
Gordon: You know we haven't gotten any hate mail in a while.
Chico: And by "we", you mean "you", right?
Gordon: Well...yes, yes I do. Quite frankly, I have no idea why they would think about putting this back on the air. Flush.
Chico: WHAT? Are you kidding me?
Rob: ?????
Jason: You have got to be kidding.....why?
Josh: The man's entitled to flushing anything he deems "poop"! But why?!
Gordon: 3 out of 4 Moles, the Mole has been the buxom piece of eye candy who's there to keep the horny male demographic. I want a game. This is not it. The Mole will never be what it should be, because of TV regulations, and I call them on it. Flush.
Chico: What about Bill?
Josh: Bill was a buxom at heart.
Gordon: And that's the show that got yanked and relegated to Summer burn-off, prompting them to put the babe as the Mole EVERY time.
Rob: Gordon, they put it at the Friday Timeslot. You can't expect quality ratings on Friday on ABC.
Chico: It was yanked because of the same reason Singing Bee was yanked. Programmers got greedy.
Gordon: They won't get Anderson Cooper back. They probably won't even get Ahmad Rashad back. They will get some sort of low level comedian and the mole will be the foxy babe who everyone will figure out at the end of episode 2.
Josh: Yeah...the show was good when Cooper hosted, that's for certain.
Gordon: I'd rather see this show, as good as it's been in other countries, not get regenerated if it's going to have a rotten incarnation.
Rob: Gordon, they'll more than likely get Corbin Bernsen to host the show.
Jason: That's true. And he was on both Celeb Moles.
Chico: The good news: Ahmad Rashad has been asked not to return.
Gordon: The problem isn't the host. The problem is the execution. The first celeb mole was way too easy. The other one was way too esoteric. Maybe we'll get Rossi Moreale.
Chico: He deserves better than Temptation, at least.
Jason: No kidding
Rob: Rossi should go back to G4 and bring the rest of the old crew with him to stage a mutiny.
Chico: I'd like to see a mutiny. Probably won't happen, though. He's busy shilling for AT&T. Oh well. One more show.

Chico: This one's a no brainer. PUSH.
Rob: I would Kill to see Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten on High Stakes to cross promote for WPT. This gets a Royal Push.
Chico: There's an idea.
Jason: You have to be kidding. PUSH AND PUSH ALL IN.
Gordon: It doesn't matter where this is on. It's still great poker. PUSH.
Josh: The whole poker thing is getting very stale for me. It's been how many years now since Moneymaker?
Rob: 4 years, he won in 2003
Chico: I know Mike was all in for Poker After Dark.
Josh: WPT is going to GSN though, right?
Rob: Yes.
Josh: They already have High Stakes Poker...and Blackjack Tour...and 3-Card Poker...and Cat-Minster...
Rob: The last 3 you mentioned were all specials.
Chico: And bad ones at that.
Josh: Ah, still. I've had too much poker for a while, thanks. I'm gonna have to FLUSH this one. The only mild craving of poker I've had in awhile was Celebrity Poker Tour...when it was good. :P
Rob: I blame Phil Hellmuth for killing Celebrity Poker Showdown.
Chico: Thanks. Good time for a break as well. Big Finish next!
Jason: Alright!
Rob: Cool.

(Brought to you by Game Show Fathead. Now you can have your very own Game Show Fat head. Dan Pawson and Drew Lachey fat heads are out now, so buy, buy, buy!)

Gordon: You know you want a Dan Pawson Fathead, Chico.
Chico: In that case... yes. Give me something to aspire to.
Rob: Can I get the TTD Dragon and TJW Devil instead?
Chico: Dragon yes. The devil will keep you up at night.
Gordon: I'm sure they are available. Also available - The Big Finish! Deal or no Deal...we getting a million Dollar winner yet?
Chico: Nope
Rob: Not until the MDM reaches at least 13 $1,000,000 Cases.
Chico: Because people are chicken.
Gordon: Idol 7 - you watching?
Rob: No.
Jason: Oh yeah I am watching Idol.
Chico: Yes. If only to cover it. But I'm hoping that we'll get someone ... you know... good?
Gordon: The Amazing Race - Do TK and Rachel have a shot of surviving this lap?
Chico: Maybe if they have beat feet.
Jason: TK and Rachel...deep trouble.
Gordon: They need some help. We need some letters - and we have some. First off?
Chico: Got one from Josh Johannesen..
Gordon: Hey Josh
Jason: Hey Josh

Chico: I defer to the resident Gladiator expert.
Rob: This is the hardest Eliminator ever since the Season 7 Eliminator when they added that Ball Pit.
Gordon: It's definitely harder. I like the travelator at the end. I also like the fact that they removed the hiding gladiator at the end of it.
Chico: I remember back when it was three levels long, but this is one big bad mo'fo. I'm guessing it was a group decision to make this a bigger badder beast.
Jason: Agreed.
Chico: And I'm all for bigger and badder, but there's a limit to what you can accomplish here...
Jason: And Yes the pacing is slow as ...molasses.
Chico: Especially given how the pacing drags. This is a show of action, damn it.
Rob: They need to take out a few things.
Chico: Less talkie more gamie.
Rob: Exactly.
Gordon: It definitely has the obstacle course feel. Thanks Josh. And that's it. If you want to send us any correspondence, it's wlti@gameshowenewsnet.com Or wltiongsnn @ myspace
Chico: Big thanks to Jason Block, Josh Halbur, and Rob Seidelman for hanging out with us. Jason's Block Party column can now be heard at blockpartypodcast.com for anyone who's interested, by the way.
Jason: Thanks for the plug. Much appreciated.
Gordon: And that ends the show. From all of us to all of you, game over and spread the love.
Jason: And Yes, game over and spread the love.
