Episode 29.5 - Spread the Love
February 13

Gordon: Liver anyone?
Chico: Dude... Chicken pate... slow-braised pork tongue... and a York peppermint pattie.
Gordon: Yummmmmmmmm...
Chico: Blended together.
Gordon: Yuck.
Chico: Welcome back to WLTI. Thanks for being a part of our week and allowing us to be a part of yours. Now I have a giant coin. On one side, noted British thespian Anthony Stewart Head. On the other, the two-tailed vulpine BFF of Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails.
Gordon: It's time to see if we agree with the executive masses. First one...

It's better to stick The Voice against Dancing With the Stars than American Idol.

Chico: Tails. Not only is it worse, but let's face it. Idol is vulnerable. Why not go in for the kill?
Gordon: I'm going to disagree here. HEADS. they are both singing shows, and you don't want to put one against the other. in addition the casting on DWTS has been weak as of late and I think they could be just as vulnerable.
Chico: So the Voice is on at the right time... but you put it up against the veteran it will win. Seems rational there.
Gordon: I'd rather see it up against that than Idol
Chico: Right. Next...

Fox says it's looking for "big music stars" to fill the judging vacancies on "The X Factor".

Gordon: Heads...if they get the right ones. And the right ones mean Lady Gaga, or Bruno Mars, or someone hot, hip and current not just looking for a paycheck.
Chico: I'll go with HEADS, but again, you have to get the right people. People who have bite AND wisdom. I hear Katy Perry's available. And if her appearance on Idol was any indication, she could be a force.
Gordon: Id go with Katy Perry. next one...

Survivor: One World will stop the Tribal Pagongoing.

Chico: Hmm... Interesting. I think I'll go HEADS. Thre's going to be a bit of strategy in play that will definitely affect tribal politics, which, especially later going, will come into play.
Gordon: I'm going to say TAILS. It will stop it, but not because they are all on one island. It's going to be because it's split up Men Vs. Women, and although it will be a success, you never had an all final 4 men or women come up in that way on that sort of tribe dynamics.
Chico: You're going to have men vs. women, but it won't end up like that come the merge, because they're going to have been too far gone in it.
Gordon: Exactly. The tails part is that its going to be claimed it will happen because they were all on the same beach. i dont think so.
Chico: Agreed there. Next one...

The answer for declining ratings on "Millionaire"... more theme weeks.

Gordon: TAILS. The answer to declining ratings: make it possible for people to call in and be able to get on the show, like the good old days.
Chico: Make it more accessible. AGREED. That's people thinking TAILS. Jeopardy! did it with the online test, and it's really worked for the show. Why isn't Millionaire adopting this?
Gordon: They should be
Chico: They really should. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

If this is So You Think You Can Dance's last year on Fox, it should be spending next season...on MTV.

Chico: HEADS. It fits the demo, and there's nothing in the rulebook about having two dance shows on one network. Just ask Fox.
Gordon: HEADS. Agreed. But don't give GSN the repeat rights.
Chico: I think GSN should be stripped of any reality prospects whatsoever. Clearly a network that lost its way. Which brings us to the final...

GSN's Amy Introcaso-Davis's biggest move to shore in ratings: repeats of reality and a somewhat controversial pilot.

Gordon: This is not a good start for Amy. TAILS.
Chico: Nope. They need a hit. They need a hit like a guy with 11 up against a dealer queen needs a hit.
Gordon: And with that, we'll go to break.
Chico: Still to come, we learn stuff.
Gordon: Lots of stuff
Chico: And hope other people learn stuff as well.

Chico: She's okay... She's okay.
Gordon: But will you be ok after our next game?
Chico: That depends. Time to break open our book of morality for The Moral of the Story Is. We describe a real-life instance in the game-show world, and you give us the teachable moment to take from it. For example...

Ben Flajnik is feeling "fooled" and "like a loser again" upon learning of the real intent allegedly of Courtney Robinson. The moral of the story is...

Chico: If you're looking for love, the TV should be the "break glass in case of emergency" last resort.
Gordon: 15 minutes of fame only works if you want to get down and dirty and milk the cash cow.
Rob the Cash Cow: Moo.
Chico: You're probably not going to find love looking like a half-dead fish on national television.
Gordon: Next one...

Steve Jones, who 'loved' The X-Factor, is now looking for a new gig after getting betrayed by the people he 'loved'. The Moral of the Story is...

Gordon: Success is only good when it's not fleeting.
Chico: Very true. Next...

Tony Lucca gets picked up on "The Voice" by Adam Levine... even though he shared a Mousketeer history with Christina Aguilera. The moral of the story is...

Chico: IIIIIIIIIIIIT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL... IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL...
Gordon: If you sleep with dogs you will get fleas, but if you play with mice you may not get the big cheese.
Chico: Touche.
Gordon: Next one...

Once again, the Biggest Threat to the Biggest loser gets punted while the people who really don't deserve to still be on the show are all there. The moral of the story is...

Chico: Play the whole game. Or that failing, join a gym.
Gordon: If you want to be the top dog in a dog eat dog world, don't make yourself look like a giant hamburger.
Chico: Mmm... hamburger.
Gordon: Yummy. next?
Chico: Next one...

Brandon. Rachel. On your TV set on Sunday. The moral of the story is...

Chico: Be a tool + wave your boobs = PROFIT.
Gordon: There's a sucker born every minute and right now we're all holding gigantic lolllipops.
Chico: That's good...
Chico: Mine's sour apple.
Gordon: I have sour grape. Last one...

The Jeopardy! College Final... Three wild cards. The moral of the story is...

Chico: It's not how you start... but how you finish.
Gordon: It's not always the best team that wins - it's the hottest team that wins. (Waves Giants Banner)
Chico: Wee! I have a break before the Speed Round.
Gordon: Let's get to it.

Gordon: Oooh.
Chico: Gordon likey?
Gordon: I likey. I also likey a Speed Round...Now!
Chico: Survivor: One World - Does a man or a woman get the vote out first?
Gordon: I'll say woman. Jeopardy. Does a man or a woman be a champion on Friday?
Chico: I'll say woman. Going with the odds here.
Gordon: Idol: Does any woman have a shot here?
Chico: Any woman who wants it bad enough has a shot.
Gordon: I'm going to say no chance.
Chico: Any chance we have mails?
Gordon: Not from here - by you?
Chico: Nope. But they can change that by mailing us, wlti@gameshownewsnet.com OR by tweeting us @wltiongsnn. Or they can just find us on Facebook.
Gordon: True. next week: BIG week. And yes, more February Sweeps.
Chico: You're going to want to tune in for that. Amazing Race, Survivor, Jeopardy! crowns a champion and even more stuff...
Gordon: It's a huge Week. Special thanks to no one in particular, since it's just Chico and I this week.
Chico: For everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico. He's Gordon. Game over... and spread the love. :-)
