(BrainVision has been brough to you by Linning
Lines. Can you get all the questions on the Wonder Wall that has the Knick Logo
on it? Hosted by Jeremy Lin)
Chico: Following up on "Who Wants to Be a Mil-Lin-aire" from last week, nice.
Welcome back to WLTI, thanks for being a part of our week and allowing us to be
a part of yours.
Gordon: Now it's time for Gordon and Chico's Poetry Corner
Josh: *snaps his fingers*
Gordon: This is one of the newer games so I don't know if Josh has seen it.
Josh: Nope but it sounds groovy maaaan
Gordon: So we'll start with Josh.
Come up with a 4 line rhyming stanza to Wheel of Fortune and the letters to
select first (no, not R)
Josh: *drops the gloves* OK, YOU WANT A FIGHT?
Gordon: No. I want a 4 line poem.
Josh: On What letters To Select?
Chico: Yep
Josh: *steps up to the mic* yeah yeah yeah.....check it out man...
To win on the wheel, ya gotta know what to do
Pick out the letters that work best for you
S and T are a pretty good bet
with the first vowel of E, you'll win the game yet.
Chico: And he sticks the landing
Josh: *steps back* Whew!
Chico: What is up. Next? Gordon...
Create a Shakespearean sonnet on... survivor.
Gordon: Here goes...
'Twas sunny and 9 warriors came forth
The competitors were facing north
As uncle Jeffy gave them the rules
But alas Kourtney she was a fool
Her wrist broken 'tis such a sight
And off she goes into the good night.
Chico: Good stuff.
Josh: Bravo, young scribe.
Gordon: Now Chico. Your title of your poem is...
The ballad of the American Idol female vocalist.
Chico: ok...
Tis hard to have a pair of boobs
and a voice that rang the air...
Because poor Steven Tyler
Can't get past my long blonde hair.
The female singer has a plight
My song may go unheard...
Because America's undressing me
As I mumble every word
Josh: I think Rodney Carrington would be proud.
Chico: I try.
Gordon: I think Josh would be proud if you gave him a poem, Chico
Chico: Okay, Josh... Limerick time.
The category: Mike Rowe on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire this week.
Josh: Here goes...
The Messiest Man on the Earth
Will Show off His Mental Girth
A million buck prize
is what he spies
And his pockets may need a wide berth.
Chico: Nice
Josh: That's what I get for being a Loyal fan of "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"
Gordon: Now Chico.
Give me an alliterative sentence featuring The Celebrity Apprentice
Chico: Coming at'cha...
Trump takes talented tittilants to the task on the Town.... Revolution.
Chico: Because at least one poem in this
segment needs to end with a pause and then... "revolution".
Gordon: Good enough. Last one?
Chico: Last one, G...
Beat poem time. The subject... the downward trend of GSN.
Josh: Why do I have the feeling that the rating on this show is going to go to
TV-14?
Chico: Because it probably will.
Josh: *snaps his fingers*
Gordon: Hush.
It makes sense that we have think like a cat, and dance with stars, cause we are
the lady folk. That also is the reason why the ratings are low, because we'd
rather solve puzzles and answer trivia questions asked to us by Alex Trebek.
Josh: *snaps fingers*
Chico: (plays the bass)
Gordon: Cause you see, the only thing we like to see more than that is this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25-UqGqElEg
Josh: Curse You Pepper!
Chico: We're gonna get letters. First, though... we're going to court. Judge
Chico hears from a jury of your peers... after a few beers. See what I did
there?
Josh: Yah. You know they have books for bad poetry? You should submit that to
them!
Chico: I'd love to be published alongside JJ Redick, really I would.
(Brought to you by Red Bullseye, the lightning energy drink from Barry &
Enright. It'll give you wiiiings.. but
only if you can drink three or four at a time. It's ... DARING)
Josh: LOL
Chico: Jim Lange loves it.
Gordon: I need a case to get through an episode.
Chico: Welcome back... ALL RISE FOR WE THE JURY!
Josh: *stands up*
Gordon: The Honorable Chico Alexander is presiding. The less than Honorable
Gordon Pepper is the bailiff. ORDER IN CHICO'S COURT!
Chico: Double Cheeseburger. I have an extreme mini-golf appointment in half an
hour and justice wil be served.
Josh: I guess that makes me the Doug Llwellyn of this trio.
Chico: Gordon, the first case?
Gordon: First Case...
ACCUSED: X-Factor 2.0
CHARGE: Violating the spirit of the rules.
Chico: Evidence?
Gordon: Singers are NOW eligible to play if they have a managerial contract.
Does this violate the idea of finding unknown talent?
Josh: Yes.
Chico: Very much.
Josh: Raw Talent is supposed to be unsigned.
Chico: Really is.
Josh: If you have a contract, go to The Voice.
Chico: I mean, what's the point in having a talent contest for unsigned talent
if your unsigned talent is signed?
Gordon: Obviously, the thought here is that either they have milked the pool of
talent, or they think they can find better. I don't think it's fair for people
to not have the opportunity just because.
Josh: Still, Rules are rules
Chico: Verdict?
Josh: GUILTY!
Gordon: Not Guilty
Chico: So it's up to me. This is one of those cases where the intent violates
the spirit of the game, but not the game itself. But given the charge... GUILTY.
Gordon: I don't have a problem with it. But again, let's have a whole bunch of
crappy contestants and see what happens
Chico: It would make for entertaining TV until we weed out the crap and get to
the cream. Sentence... They have to sit another year with Nicole and Paula
making a decision on what to have for lunch. JUSTICE!
Josh: Ah, I was going to suggest A 24 Hour William Hung Listening Session.
Chico: ... That's cruel and unusual. Next case...
ACCUSED: Courtney Robertson.
CHARGE: Excessive media ho-ing without a license.
Josh: This is the case of A Model Overexposed.
Chico: Very nice, Josh.
Gordon: Not guilty. She's not being a media ho. She wants to be competitive and
win. Of course, that's not the objective here, but I don't think she came here
to be in a positive light, because she's certainly not going to leave in one.
Chico: Apparently she isn't in it to JUST win. She wants to be famous.
Gordon: There are levels of fame you DON'T want.
Chico: Not interested in Ben at all.
Josh: G-U-I-L-T-Y! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!
Gordon: Not guilty.
Chico: You don't want to leave this up to me.
Gordon: Yes I do. Because I want to see you squirm.
Josh: Just say your verdict and get it done and over with.
Chico: Okay.... GUILTY!
Josh: Sentence: Being limited to shopping at the following stores: K-Mart,
Wal-Mart, Peebles.
Chico: Not PEEBLES!
Josh: I would say Target, but you can find fashionable stuff there.
Chico: You really can. Next case!
Gordon: Next one...
ACCUSED: Oh Sit!
CHARGE: Discrimination
Chico: Explain.
Gordon: Here's an excerpt from their contestant wanted ad:
Specifically Looking For:
- Dynamic MEN and WOMEN over 18 years of age- Must be legal residents of the
U.S. and live in Southern CA- Must be able to swim and have no fear of large
animals
- Must be in peak physical condition and have the stamina to go the distance
-
Fun, great sense of humor, and big personalities
- Currently looking for people
who fit the following team categories:
Blondes VS Non-Blondes
Suits VS Blue Collars
Country Folk VS City Slickers
Heavy Metal VS Country Music
Jocks VS Nerds
Chico: So THAT's what the show is for. So GUILTY.
Josh: Guilty!
Gordon: Make it a trio. GUILTY! Can we be more creative than that?
Josh: Sentence?
Chico: They're going to be on the CW. Isn't that sentence enough?
Gordon: No.
Josh: Sentence: Make them sit on pushpins for 1 second
Chico: OW.
Josh: Justice?
Chico: Justice. Next...
ACCUSED: Christina Aguilera.
CHARGE: Extortion
Chico: The other three Voice coaches will return for season 3 with six million
dollars worth of happiness. Christina has agreed to join them for an extra
four million.
Josh: This is the case of the Songbird who wanted more worms
Gordon: Um...How many singles does Christina have over the past year?
Chico: Over the last year? I can't remember any.
Josh: I can.
Chico: Except for one with Adam and Maroon 5.
Josh: Yup. That's the one
Chico: Adam, though, isn't getting $10M.
Josh: No but he's happy with his 6, I imagine I would say that Christina is
guilty of Greed, Not Extortion.
Chico: I'll accept the lesser charge of greed.
Gordon: Not Greed at all. Greed is only when you think you're at a higher worth
than your value. Christina got the 10 million, so it's certainly not greedy
because NBC agreed that she was worth that. Not Guilty of all counts.
Josh: Exoneration!
Chico: First of all, I want to say that three of the four cases were deadlocked,
and as jurors, you both suck. :-)
Josh: Thank you Yer Honor.
Chico: Cee Lo had two big hits of his own. And produced a mess of others. Blake
has some hits of his own. Adam and his bandmates... drowning in hits.
Josh: Christina did need to join with Adam to get a hit.
Gordon: R&B + Alt Rock + Country < Pop
Chico: I'll accept the lesser claim of Greed and sentence her to time served.
Josh: Justice.
Chico: Good luck in season 3.
Gordon: Christina makes more than the rest of them with their hits. Hence she can
command a higher salary.
Chico: But she better win this season.
Gordon: She almost won last season
Josh: True
Chico: Next case!
Gordon: Next one...
ACCUSED: American Idol Editors
CHARGE: Slander
Gordon: Alisha Bernhardt (The police officer who went nuts) accused the editing
of making her nuts.
Chico: All I can say is editors work with what they're given. You can't create
something out of nothing.
Josh: But We have heard of previous precedent in other reality shows of
contestants saying they were edited to be the villain.
Gordon: You can't be edited to be a screamer if you didn't scream. Obviously she
did. Not guilty.
Josh: I will not say that this is proven to be true. Not guilty due to lack of
evidence.
Chico: Justice!
Gordon: Last one...
ACCUSED: Simon Cowell
CHARGE: Inciting a riot.
Chico: He said that there should be an X Factor vs. Idol vs. Voice reality
talent jeux sans frontieres... .... revolution, to which Nigel suggested that the Idol
would already be a star by then.
Josh: I think it would be ridiculous and personally, a waste of valuable TV time.
Chico: I cite the case of World Idol 2003.
Josh: The precedent is ample.
Gordon: If they were on the same level, it's actually not a bad idea. However,
the idea is awful, GUILTY!
Josh: GUILTY.
Chico: So Guilty. Sentence?
Josh: William Hung 6 hour marathon.
Chico: The lunch thing from earlier... and you have to hear about how Nigel ate
the porterhouse that shook the heavens. It was THIS BIG.
Josh: And so this session of Chico's Court has come to a close. Remember, if you
are a game show fan and you feel you are being wrongly treated, don't take the
law into your own hands, you take 'em to court.
Chico: And that's We the Jury with apologies to Ralph Edwards and Stu Billett.
Josh: Yes, All Apologies
Gordon: And with no apologies, we'll end this episode after the break
(Brought to you by Lin, Lose or Draw. The best street
artists compete to put a Jeremy Lin sketch all over the city. Maybe someone will
make an Andre the Giant sub movement. Jeremy Lin hosts)
Josh: STOP THE LINSANITY!!!!!
Chico: No, double down on the Linsanity!
Gordon: Triple Down!
Josh: Sorry guys. Wasn't much of a NBA Fan with the exception of The Bulls.
Gordon: Let's finish this with a Speed Round...NOW! Idol: Give me someone who
makes the Top 24.
Chico: David Leathers.
Gordon: Reed Grimm
Chico: It's gonna be awesome. Survivor. Who's voted out first?
Josh: Colton
Gordon: I have a funny feeling Romeo and Juliet may be found out first. Sabrina
doesn't have an Idol. Colton however does, so I could see them going in a
different direction.
Chico: Sabrina then?
Josh: I'll take that too.
Gordon: Millionaire. We have had some close calls and February sweeps isn't over
yet. Are see going to see a Million Dollar question?
Chico: Nope.
Josh: Wait for holiday sweeps
Chico: Amazing Race? Any surprises on leg 1?
Josh: There will be. What exactly, hard to tell it is. (All Apologies to Yoda
and George Lucas)
Gordon: We do have some email this week, care of Andy Elfe. Thanks Andy!
Chico: Yay!

Elfe
Did Whitney Houston appear on any game show through her career? I though she and
her mother were on the Jim Lange game show "Triple Threat" in 1988, but I'm not
certain about that. Also, was she on the John Davidson version of "Hollywood
Squares"? |
” |
Chico: Thanks, Andrew! I've been looking on Google for this... I couldn't find
any. Gordon?
Gordon: Andy is correct. She was a guest on the show, though not a regular.
She was on another show, though.
Josh: I believe it was Wetten Das...
Gordon: That would be Wanna Bet. And yes, she was on the German version also

Josh: Too true.
Gordon: That ends the show this week. Special thanks to Agent Josh for joining
us.
Josh: Honor and a pleasure, As always.
Chico: Next week... Brenchel part 3.
Gordon: And we break down Idol's Top 24.
Chico: Hope to see you then, but for now, for everyone at GSNN... I'm Chico
