Chico: Welcome back to the Big Game edition of the Big Show. Thanks for being a part of our week and allowing us to be a party of yours.
Gordon Pepper: Thanks. Now you know that we have Valentine's Day coming up in a few short weeks. Just in case you feel like buying something for your loved ones, we may - or may not - have some suggestions.
Chico: Granted, they may not be GOOD suggestions, but they're suggestions nonetheless. Time for another installment of Gordon Pepper's baby... NOW How Much Would You Pay. Remind us how it works again
Gordon Pepper: We'll give you an object - and a price. You say how much you would really pay for it. For Example...

Scotty McCreery's New Platinum Idol CD. Cost: $14.95. How much would YOU pay?

Chico: $9.95. on iTunes.
Gordon: I'm not a country music fan. $0. I'm stealing all the songs on YouBoob.
Chico: And remixing them for Club Gordon: Country Strong Edition, no doubt.
Gordon: GP Remix.
Chico: Word. Next...

A year subscription to Reality Weekly. Cost: $93.

Gordon: $13. That's around a quarter a week. Sounds about right.
Chico: $0.69. Seriously, why buy the cow when you can get the steak for free?
Gordon: Cause if you don't pay for the steak, eventually, they stop killing the cow and you'll have to do it yourself.
Chico: ... I can live with that.
Gordon: You don't look like a good cow rustler.
Chico: No, but I can cut my own cut now. Thanks, Alton Brown!
Gordon: Um Newsflash: You have to CATCH the cow in order to cook it.
Chico: ... Okay, so I'll learn.
Rob the Cash Cow: Moo?
Chico: I'd NEVER slaughter our cash cow!
Gordon: Don't worry, Rob, you're safe. Next one...

A trip to Brooklyn to go to Food Network TV Tapings of The Next Food Network Star. With tolls and gas and parking, your total: $40.

Chico: I'll pay the full $40. It's good money spent on a good product.
Gordon: It's a lot of fun when you go. just keep an open mind and an empty stomach. $40.
Chico: Thank you Chairman Shatner. Next..

The Clean Bottle. It opens at both ends for easy cleaning, and it's Mark Cuban's first deal as a regular Shark for season 3. Bill Walton not included. Cost:$5.

Gordon: You know what? I'd spend the $5. I like the idea.
Chico: But yeah, it costs less than a bottle from Walmart and you can keep it cleaner. Full price is easy.
Gordon: It's a good idea.
Chico: Very good idea. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

An Auto tune up. A few years ago, when Deal or No Deal was in NJ, the contestant coordinator told the crowd that the first 20 people to get their cars tuned up at the auto place they were staying at would get an automatic pass to the head contestant coordinator. Needless to say, 20 screaming fans ran over to the garage. Would you? Total retail value: $35.

Chico: Yes, partly because my IAC valve needs a look-at. But I'd only pay $20.
Gordon: For something like that, where even if I get picked that close? $0. For a show like that, there's no reason to be at the front or back - they judge you on your assets, and that won't change regardless of where I am in the line.
Chico: There you go... Finally... the mystery money.

GSN paid an undisclosed amount to air "Dancing with the Stars"... only to have it fare terribly after ONE. NIGHT. How much would you pay?

Gordon: $0. We both know GSN is going in the wrong direction here. For what they paid for it, they could have easily gotten 4 new seasons of new shows that could be hits.
Chico: Again, textbook cases on how NOT to run a network. I'm going to go one step further and say that you'd have to pay ME to be even REMOTELY interested. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I've seen something similar to this being done before that leads me to believe that this won't work.
Gordon: I have something that won't work. let me show you what it is as we go to the break.
Chico: If it's what I think it is, I'm calling the police.

(Brought to you by Amazing Dances with the Racers. Maybe if we get the 2 shows spliced into one program that people will watch....Maybe not.)

Chico: Oh STOP. Here's an idea. Acquire season 1 of Wayne Brady's Let's Make a Deal. Run it on primetime. Here's another idea... Import The Chase. Hire myself, Klauss, and Larissa Kelly as chasers. Prime. Time. GOLD.
Gordon: I'll ask you to come up with some Trios, how's that?
Chico: That'll work.
Gordon: First one?
Chico: First one...

Wiped out by wipeout, drowned out by The Voice, or bombed by the Big Bang.

Chico: Idol's not dying this year, but let's say for argument's sake that it was. Which one of these will be the coup de grace?
Gordon: Well Wipeout has been anemic this year so far, and while The Big Bang is getting the numbers, I'll have to say, if it becomes a big hit, drowned out by The Voice, as they may have out Idoled Idol.
Chico: That and Idol, there's no real incentive to watch this year. Last year, you had the judge's shakeup. this year... not so much. I'll go with Big Bang, because geeks are cool. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Hey Paula, Platinum Hit and Cupid.

Gordon: Each of these was created by an American Idol Judge. Each of these bombed badly. Which of these was the biggest disaster?
Chico: I'm going to go with Cupid. I know at least one station that didn't even air it.
Gordon: Cupid, but for a different reason. We knew Paula was a nutbag. We knew that Kara's show was in trouble. Simon Cowell, however, had a perfect track record - until that show. And now with X-Factor not putting up the numbers it expected to, the bloom is coming off the rose. but Cupid was the first petal that fell. If Cowell is serious about his franchise, expect a bunch of changes to the X-Factor - and soon.
Chico: Oh, I have a feeling that a change is going to come... and a drastic one at that.
Gordon: and I'd say plural. Starting with Nicole and Steve.
Chico: Yes and yes. Next...

Catch 21, Lingo, Newlywed Game.

Chico: With Baggage on its way to syndication, where it will no doubt fare way better than it ever did on GSN, which GSN original should be explored in syndication next?
Gordon: The Newlywed Game, and it should be packaged with Baggage for the perfect Power Hour. We love sleaze at 1am.
Chico: It keeps us awake at night. It keeps you awake at night, too.
Gordon: There's better sleaze that keeps me up awake at night, but we won't go there.
Chico: Right. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

RuPaul's Drag Race, Ultimate Fighter, Face-Off

Gordon: None of these shows have seen Prime Time air. With the Ninja Warrior series finally showing up on NBC, these three shows are also worthy of seeing Prime Time. Which one?
Chico: Ultimate Fighter. Fox has a perfectly good Saturday they're not using. And the match helped them last weekend.
Gordon: It did, but NBC needs the help even more. It just okayed 10 pilots. I think Face-off would be a fun Saturday night show that could draw in some culty eyeballs.
Chico: And again, perfect Saturday night that no one is missing.
Gordon: Exactly. next one?
Chico: Next...Talking about the Chase at the top of the show gets me thinking...

The Chase, the Exit List, the Bank Job.

Chico: All of these shows bowed in England. Which one hits the US first?
Gordon: The Exit List, though I'll make a side note that I don't expect any of them to succeed here, because the U.S. Producers will find a way to tinker with it and screw it up.
Chico: Agreed
Gordon: Last one...

Sanjaya Malakar, William Hung, Norman Gentle

Gordon: Everyone in The Office is getting a Spin-Off. Which American Idol character should ALSO get a Spinoff?
Chico: SANJAYA! I don't think it'd do well, but it's a fun name to say. "Sanjaya."
Gordon: I actually would like to see Stormin Norman. Kathy Griffin made a whole career out of being mediocre. Norman could go the same way. And he was actually entertaining when he wasn't over the top.
Chico: Which was about, oh, 5 percent of the time?
Gordon: Yes but you could make a good story on that 5%
Chico: Normal Norman.
Gordon: We'll finish this one up after the break

(Brought to you by Who Wants to Be a Donkey? Between Jeopardy! contestants wanting to punch you, Fear Factor contestants wanting to drink your gravy, and ... well, Gordon Ramsay and LMAD, who DOESN'T want to be a donkey?)

Gordon: And you'll be high profile this year.
Chico: *brays*
Gordon: And with that we start the Speed Round...NOW! Idol: Will we see the Million Dollar winner this week?
Chico: ... Unless we don't, yes.
Gordon: I think we've already seen him. Jeopardy: Will we be drooling over a big money winner?
Chico: Nope, but we will be drooling over tournament action.
Gordon: Drool
Chico: It's gonna be SWEET.
Gordon: Do we have any sweet email?
Chico: Nope, but you can change that. Tell'em how
Gordon: Send it to WLTI@gameshownewsnet.com Or if you dot believe in emails, do the Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or YouBoob thing. And that ends the show. Special thanks to no one in particular, because it's just Chico and I this week.
Chico: Next week, we go racing with people in wigs.
Gordon: And racing around a 6 by 6 trivia board. That's next week. For this week, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Game Over and Spread the Love.
