Episode 26.6 - Jeopardy! 3: Rise of the Machines
February 21

Chico: Yuzo Koshiro would be proud.
Gordon: Is Phil Moore doing vocals?
Chico: Nope, but we've got an endless supply of those loud shirts he wore. Welcome back once again. It's time for Saywha?, where we pick up on what people have said, who said it, and why. Anyway, we start with this one...

"As soon as I walked to the camp, I was so grateful to be back to get my title of sole Survivor."

Gordon: BUZZ
Chico: Mr. Gordon?
Gordon: That has to be Russell Hantz
Chico: Has to be.
Gordon: Though he isn't.
Chico: He isn't the sole Survivor. He's convinced he would be. But something's going to go wrong on his tribe. And if Rob was SO CLOSE to getting voted off, what makes you think that Russell's any safer?
Gordon: The same reason why Rob was safe. They want to use him to get to the jury first. They both make the jury. Then they both go away.
Chico: Makes sense. Next one.

"If you beat the gajillion-whatever supercomputer, you're a hero. But if you lose, it is a computer, so I guess you did the best for your species."

Robert: BUZZ
Chico: Rob?
Robert: Would that be Ken Jennings?
Chico: That WOULD be Ken Jennings. So did Brad and Ken do the best for their species?
Robert: Using what god gave them, and not aided by some of the best tech wizards that money can buy, they did a darned good job. Not only that, he was as amicable as usual in the end.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next one...

"He's trying to be on Regis' side, but TRYING TO GET HIS JOB!"

Robert: BUZZ
Chico: Rob?
Robert: Jeff Probst.
Chico: No
Gordon: Regis?
Chico: Yes. He was talking about himself and guests trying to posture themselves.
Robert: Ahhhh.
Chico: As in "Yeah, I got the project, but at the same time, I wouldn't mind YOUR job."
Gordon: Nice. Next one?
Chico: Next one, speaking of nice...

"If we can translate that into kids coming on this show from flipping burgers one day to ending up as the star of a television series, then we are showing everyone there is a way out of our lives."

Gordon: (I WANT FRIES WITH THAT)
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: Nigel Lythgoe
Chico: VERY GOOD, GORDON! Now can you relate to such a story or are you just going along for the ride here? Because I'm just going along for the ride here. Because, well... this is the same song-and-dance from the first nine seasons.
Gordon: Both. It has worked, but the singers need to be more than just raw. Whine about AI7 all you want with the 'experienced' talent, but it's painfully clear that they make a much better show than the greenhorns.
Chico: Greenhorns with stories tell stories... but what happens when it's time to throw down? When it's time to throw down, it's throw down.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next one...

"Which is better, having a Michelin star or being a TV star? Very political question. BOTH!"

Robert: BUZZ
Chico: Rob?
Robert: The satanic chef himself, Gordon Ramsay
Chico: Good guess, but no.
Gordon: (YOUR CHOCOLATE IS IN MY RISOTTO)
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: That would be Morimoto-San
Chico: That WOULD be Morimoto-san. The Iron Chef is going to have a cameo in a future episode of Hawaii Five-0. He's going to... sing. I'm like... really? But apparently he's a fan. Okay, one more...

"What the hell was I thinking when I put three girls in bikinis, on a photo shoot, while fighting for the same guy?"

Robert: BUZZ
Chico: Roberto?
Robert: That has to be your favorite person, Mike Fleiss
Chico: No.
Gordon: (CHICO ENDORSES MIKE FLEISS FOR PRESIDENT)
Chico: ...Gordon, it's open.
Gordon: Well my first thought would be you, since you LOVE the Bachelor
Chico: Ha HA.
Gordon: But Is it Brad Womack?
Chico: ... sounds like something I'd say, but it IS Brad!
Gordon: Your bed poster compels thee
Chico: Right. That's where I got it from. But there you are. That's the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit promotion. Don't you just love corporate synergy?
Robert: Yes, so much that it's nauseating.
Gordon: Chico loves it so much, he's going to play some Bachelor music as we go into the break
Robert: *hands Chico the helmet*
Chico: Thanks. *runs head first into wall*... I think I hit a brick that time...

(Brought to you by "Survivor: Bonus Island". Watch castaways spin for high stakes against a huge neon star with three circular windows. Only the true survivors will avoid being struck by lightning. Coming this fall.)

Chico: Talk about a bullseye.
Robert: Sounds like some good quality watching.
Chico: So is this. It's the BIG FINISH! We call it.... the Speed Round
Robert: Let's do this.
Gordon: Survivor: is Philip next to go?
Chico: Yep
Gordon: Bye Philip
Robert: No, Russell's team goes to Tribal and they exit out the snake himself.
Gordon: Jeopardy: It's still February Sweeps. Do we get a long running champ?
Chico: Nope. Still in tourney mode for the rest of sweeps. We think Zev & Justin are going for the early exit first. Still going with that?
Robert: Yeah.
Gordon: Yep
Gordon: Idol - we seeing a Doobie in the Finals?
Robert: No
Chico: Yep, but it won't be Lara Johnston. Because someone's going to insist on scatting. Therefore, there will be a doobie. Followed by another doobie. Followed by a doo.
Gordon: We got any mail this week, Mr. Doobedoobedoo?
Chico: Nope, but we can go to the wall. Last week, we asked what you'd watch if you had one hour of TV time. Rob Hoffmann, who's always good for a joke, says...

“

Rob Hoffmann Jeopardy!, as while the other three choices are interesting, this is historic. A computer is playing as a contestant on a game show against human competition -- that makes this a relatively simple decision.

”

Gordon: With that, we end the show. Special thanks to Robert Seidelman, for joining us today. VERY special thanks to Todd Alan Crain for the interview this week.
Robert: You're welcome Gordon. BTW, I fixed your Gordon Android. It's now dried off, wires replaced and it works like normal.
Gordon: He's doing the Rapping Dragon chant. That's definitely NOT fixed.
Robert: Wait a tick. *hits it*

(Starts the Carolling Whammy chants)

Gordon: (sigh) Better. Next week: More February Sweeps and the debut of The Amazing Race. For everyone, this is Gordon pepper, saying Game Over and Spread the Love.
