Episode 26.7 - Race for Your Life, Ryan Seacrest!
February 28

Gordon: Someone have a bad eating experience?
Jason: Yeah I think.
Chico: It's like bad food.... it just lingers there. Languishing.
Gordon: Like the 32 worst game shows of 2010?
Chico: Yep. they're all competing for ... THIS!



Gordon: That's pretty.
Chico: ... and you can see the plate says.... "You Suck"
Jason: ROFL
Gordon: Only a special breed of show goes there. And joining us for this honor is Agent Josh. Welcome.
Josh: *comes barreling in, slips on some ice, flies by the hosts and Jason, and
collides with the wall across the room* *CRASH!*
Chico: You alright, dude?
Josh: *weary* I'm ok
Jason: Damn! That's an entrance
Gordon: Also joining us, from BuzzerBlog, our buddy, Alex Davis.
Alex: Howdy
Gordon: Cause this is a special event.
Josh: Hey Alex!
Jason: Yo!
Gordon: For every Academy Award Show, we have the Razzies. For bad gameshows, we have this. Big Bored please? The Subject: Conference Breakdown. Shows by Network:


Conference Breakdown

- 8 - ABC
- 5 - VH1
- 4 - GSN
- 2 - NBC, Fox
- 1 - Bravo, Cartoon Network, CMT, E!, Food Network, Fox Reality, MTV, Syndicated, Travel Channel, TV One
 

Gordon: ABC has the most crappy shows on this list this year. Taking the title from VH1.
Josh: Wow
Chico: And this is totally objective, right?
Gordon: Completely. And as usual, we had more than enough to choose from to make the Top 32. Notice this year: NO shows from CBS makes the Top 32. Of course that will change next year, thanks to Live to Dance.
Josh: Heh
Gordon: Here's the Last 4 shows out: The Arrangement (LOGO), Shaq Vs. (ABC), Thin Ice (NBC), Millionaire (New Format) (ABC)
Jason: Thank you Gordon Lenardi :)
Gordon: We have 30 game shows, 1 non-game show and 1 almost game show. You will understand as we vote. You are voting for the WORSE of the 2 shows.
Jason: Got it.
Gordon: Here we go.

The Tragic Thirty Two

1. Bridalplasty (E!) Vs. 8. The Fashion Show (BRAVO)

Chico: Bridalplasty FTL.
Josh: I'll take Bridalplasty
Gordon: The Overall #1 Seed Vs. A Fashion Clone
Jason: Bridalplasty Crushes The clone
Josh: At least Fashion show is copying something successful
Alex: I've only heard of Bridalplasty vaguely but what I heard, it sounded rough
Chico: Rough. Tough. Had enough.
Gordon: It's rough and awful. Bridalplasty cruises. Next.

4. The Bachelor Pad (ABC) Vs. 5. Worst Cooks in America (Food)

Gordon: Chicos Faaaaavorite spin-off Vs. Chefs who practice to suck.
Chico: Bachelor Pad. At least you learned something from Worst Cooks in America.
Josh: Bachelor Pad. WCiA was actually entertaining....Not in the game show way.
Jason: Bachelor Pad. Worst Cooks is a lot better than his
Jason: this
Alex: I hate both dating and cooking shows, but I hate dating shows more.
Bachelor Pad.
Gordon: Make it another 5-0 rout. Next one...

3. The Marriage Ref (NBC) Vs. 6. Don't Forget the Lyrics (Syndie)

Josh: Ta Ta DFTL
Chico: Mark McGrath saves this one. Marriage Ref.
Alex: Don't Forget The Lyrics. Boring, pointless, cheap
Jason: Lyrics was BAD. It wins.
Josh: Marriage Ref was in the tradition of the great british panel shows that
you can listen to on BBC4
Gordon: At least the Ref had celebrities. DFTL wins and we have our first upset.
Chico: (UPSET SPECIAL, BABY!)

2. Seducing Cindy (FOX Reality) Vs. 7. Late Night Liars (GSN)

Gordon: An 80 year old man's love lust vs. the most expensive unfunny puppet
show ever.
Josh: Seducing Cindy. LNL I actually liked. Not LOVED, but liked.
Chico: At least Late Night Liars was fun. Seducing Cindy sucked.
Alex: I really liked Late Night Liars a lot. Thought it was just on the wrong
network. Seducing Cindy which I guess is a dating reality show.
Jason: Late Night Liars was disappointing. Seducing Cindy was bad.
Chico: Yeah, it's not our fault we had hope for LNL
Gordon: Cindy was terrible. 5-0 rout here. Next quadrant...

1. Dance Cam Slam (VH1) Vs. 8. Conveyor Belt of Love (ABC)

Chico: Honestly, I wish I could forget BOTH of these shows.
Gordon: Civilians + Dancing = Mess. Dance Cam Slam.
Alex: I've never even heard of that Dance show.
Gordon: You're better off for it.
Josh: Can we get rid of them both and give the winner of the next matchup a bye?
Gordon: We want the worse show, so these 2 entries are worthy.
Chico: When in doubt... go chalk, Alex.
Jason: Dance Cam...but not by as much as you think
Chico: Dance Cam.
Josh: If I have to choose, I'll get rid of Conveyor Belt
Alex: I really dislike any form of dancing show, though. I don't understand the
appeal. Dance Cam
Gordon: Dance Cam advances, 4-1.
Josh: Conveyor belt was a gimmick.
Gordon: Next up...

4. Hidden Agenda (GSN) Vs. 5. Downfall (ABC)

Jason: Hidden Agenda...OMG...Downfall was just poorly executed
Josh: Sorry, Hidden Agenda was awful.
Alex: I liked Downfall, but it was screwed by bad editing and poor production
decisions. Hidden Agenda was just bad.
Chico: Hidden Agenda.
Josh: Downfall was a good format with bad editing and a piss-poor host. Hidden
Agenda was...just wrong.
Chico: Hey.. I didn't think Chris Jericho was bad. Hidden Agenda... I just
didn't think that was GOOD.
Alex: I thought he did great when they didn't chop him to pieces
Josh: Sorry. I still see him as a big heel.
Chico: Well in any event, this was a sweep'
Gordon: Hidden Agenda was terrbile. I think it could be a sleeper. 5-0 Sweep
here. Next...

3. Hole in the Wall (TOON) Vs. 6. The Bachelor (ABC)

Josh: Bachelor!
Chico: Bachelor.
Alex: Bachelor
Josh: At least Hole in the Wall you can laugh!
Chico: This version of HITW was... dare I say... actually good.
Jason: The Bachelor
Gordon: The 3 seeds are not safe this Tournament. The Bachelor moves on.
Josh: I'd agree with Chico. They didn't take it seriously (like fox did)
Chico: And CN is bringing it back.
Gordon: Next one...

2. America's Worst Driver (TRAVEL CHANNEL) Vs. 7. Ultimate Parkour Challenge (MTV)

Chico: Worst Driver. Didn't even bother to watch it. No game to it.
Alex: Driver
Chico: No... nothing to it.
Jason: Worst Driver FTL....:(
Josh: AWD
Gordon: Unfortunately, I did watch it and it made me sad. Worst Driver.
Josh: But Parkour was a bit of a disappointment
Gordon: Parkour had the potential and then denigrated to comedy.
Chico: Ew.
Josh: You better clean that up, Gordo. It'll stain the carpet.
Gordon: There's worse stains to come. AWD wins 5-0. Next...

1. Our Little Genius (FOX) Vs. 8. Work of Art: The Next Great Artist (BRAVO)

Gordon: There;s a much bigger stain, in more than one way. Yes. I went there.
Jason: Genius. Nuff said.
Chico: Genius.
Alex: You can't do worse than rigging a show. Not to mention the show was just
bad. Genius.
Chico: The show so bad... it didn't even air.
Josh: Genius. Although I would call shenanigans because it never made it to air.
Gordon: The show didn't even make to the air, yet earned,IMO, a #1 seed. Genius
cruises 5-0.
Josh: Genius...The "Twenty-One" of our time.
Chico: Rigging a game show is BAD. BAD.. BAD FOX.
Gordon: Next...

4. Carnie Wilson: Unstapled (GSN) Vs. 5. Skating With The Stars (ABC)

Josh: Carnie Wilson
Jason: Unstapled
Josh: That was tough to watch. I think it should show GSN's execs something.
Gordon: The only non-game show up here, but it deserves to be here because it
sucked.
Chico: Carnie Wilson.
Alex: Unstapled. I still don't get reality shows.
Josh: WE DON'T WANT TO WATCH THAT SORT OF REALITY!
Chico: I just wanna see a girl host a game. That's it.
Gordon: Carnie slouches on. Next one...

3. Your Chance to Dance (CMT) Vs. 6. The Bachelorette (ABC)

Josh: Bachelorette.
Jason: Bachelorette
Josh: YC2D had a decent host, at least.
Gordon: I have to go Dance here. That was terrible.
Alex: Bachelorette.
Chico: Bachelorette. It's not Mark Walberg's fault that the show didn't really
have any meat to it.
Gordon: Chico gets all 3 Bachelor shows into the next round.
Chico: Yay.
Josh: Wouldn't be interesting if All three Bachelor shows made it to the final?
Gordon: That ain't going to happen.
Chico: That won't happen
Gordon: Next...

2. I Love Money (VH1) Vs. 7. Dating in the Dark (ABC)

Josh:
I Love Money moves on.
Chico: Don't make me choose...
Alex: Murder tends to dampen your show. I Love Money
Gordon: The show was dead and should have stayed Dead. ILM.
Josh: Dating in the dark was a good heartfelt idea as I said in My review.
Chico: I'm in agreement.
Jason: Yes. ILM
Chico: I Love Money
Gordon: ILM advances 5-0. Next...

1. Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch (VH1) Vs. 8. True Beauty (ABC)

Josh: Anything with Ochocinco automatically gets my vote as the worst.
Jason: OCHOCINCO!
Gordon: Ocho-Suck-ass.
Alex: No idea what True Beauty is but I have to continue my dislike of reality shows. Ochocinco
Chico: Going with Chad Ochojohnson here.
Josh: Chad Whats-his-name moves on it looks like.
Gordon: 5-0 sweep here, too. Next one...

4. Million Dollar Money Drop (FOX) Vs. 5. Instant Recall (GSN)

Josh: Sorry Wink. Instant Recall gots to move on.
Alex: Instant Recall. I like Money Drop a lot when they actually make the show a little quicker than 7 questions a show. Instant Recall was just horrible.
Gordon: I like Wink. I hate a big money Fox clone. MDMD
Chico: I can't do it to Wink... I really can't. I'm going with the drop. Because of that whole stink about Post-its. The game on Recall is weak, but it's a game. It's a game that is irrefutably based.
Jason: Yeah...MDMD is just awful.
Josh: Instant Recall to me...that was so bad I fired my agent. And I don't even have one.
Gordon: I like the premise of Instant Recall. The execution was terrible, but it pales to making an $800,000 error on your first show.
Alex: I didn't make it past the screener
Gordon: MDMDM squeaks by, 3-2. Last chance for a #3 seed to survive the first round...

3. What Chilli Wants (VH1) Vs. 6. The Ultimate Merger (TV ONE)

Jason: Ain't happening. Merger was terrible
Chico: Ultimate Merger...
Josh: Ultimate merger....
Alex: I'll just go Merger
Chico: What Chilli Wants wasn't even a game show in the loosest sense
Josh: What chilli wants... GOD... Can't we move both of them on?
Gordon: What I want is less Omorosa. Ultimate Merger advances 5-0. Last 1st round match...

2. Frank the Entertainer - In a basement Affair (VH1) Vs. 7. Celebrity Apprentice (NBC)

Jason: Frank
Chico: Frank the Entertainer.
Josh: Celebrity Apprentice was entertaining.
Chico: I liked the Apprentice.
Josh: My vote was for...what's his name again?
Alex: I'm apparently really out of the loop. Continued hatred of reality, though. Frank the Entertainer
Gordon: Frank is not swank. More of a skank. Frank moves on 5-0. All of the top seeds hold as long as you weren't a #3. Heh. Time for...

THE SOUR 16

1. Bridalplasty (E!) Vs. 4. The Bachelor Pad (ABC)

Chico: Melissa Rycroft saves the day again.
Jason: Bridal Plasty
Gordon: This has got to be hard for Chico.
Chico: Bridalplasty.
Gordon: or not.
Chico: Actually quite the opposite.
Josh: This is hard for me.
Alex: Bridalplasty
Josh: I hate both shows with a passion.
Gordon: Not for me. Bridalplasty was terrible.
Josh: Bridalplasty should move on though. It's that much more terrible.
Gordon: Bridalplasty moves on 5-0. Next...

6. Don't Forget the Lyrics (Syndie) Vs. 2. Seducing Cindy (FOX Reality)

Josh: DFTL
Alex: I have a vendetta against Lyrics
Josh: Makes two of us
Chico: Lyrics.
Jason: Lyrics
Josh: Makes four of us...
Gordon: Make it 5-0. This show was so good in Prime Time. What happened?
Chico: Fox cheapened it.
Josh: The way they broke it up.
Chico: Extended it.
Josh: It was un-watchable.
Jason: Pacing
Chico: And ... cheapened it some more.
Alex: Cheap, bad host, slow game, horrible songs, horrible music
Gordon: Next one...

1. Dance Cam Slam (VH1) Vs. 4. Hidden Agenda (GSN)

Josh: Hidden Agenda.
Alex: Hidden Agenda
Chico: UPSET SPECIAL!
Jason: Agenda
Gordon: A pair of hidden web cam shows.
Chico: Hidden Agenda
Gordon: Hidden Agenda scores the upset and our first #1 seed is gone.
Jason: Weak #1 actually
Gordon: Next one...

6. The Bachelor (ABC) Vs. 2. America's Worst Driver (TRAVEL CHANNEL)

Josh: Bachelor
Alex: Bachelor
Chico: America's Worst Driver.
Jason: Driver
Gordon: Driver.
Josh: Bah!
Jason: Sorry.
Chico: The second of the Bachelors is gone.
Alex: I never saw Driver, so I've got no clue, nor have I seen Bachelor, but regardless
Gordon: The bachelor is an icon of bad, but I hate the whole idea of putting someone on the road who clearly does not deserve to be there.
Jason: You cant have a show that celebrates the ability of people to KILL others.
Gordon: AWD survives and advances. Next one...

1. Our Little Genius (FOX) Vs. 4. Carnie Wilson: Unstapled (GSN)

Josh: Genius
Jason: Genius
Chico: Genius
Alex: Unstapled.
Josh: Such a rig-job. I didn't even like the concept.
Gordon: It's the battle of the big rigs. I have to vote Genius. It advances 4-1. Next...

6. The Bachelorette (ABC) Vs. 2. I Love Money (VH1)


Jason: ILM
Alex: Money
Chico: Money
Josh: God this is tough.
Gordon: Not here. At least they got a marriage out of this one. ILM should never have hit the airwaves.
Josh: Well, my decision no longer matters. I'll say Bachelorette
Chico: It should've died and stayed dead.



Chico: We have a graphic for everything, don't we?
Gordon: We do.
Jason: Didn't we see that before?
Gordon: Maybe. Next...

1. Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch (VH1) Vs. 4. Million Dollar Money Drop (FOX)

Alex: Ochocinco
Chico: Chad Ochojohnson
Josh: I hate to repeat myself, but Chad has got to shut his big fat mouth.
Gordon: Sesenta Y Nueve.
Jason: MDMD
Josh: And while we're at it, can we get rid of T.Ocho show?
Gordon: There's an easy way to. Stop watching it. If people stop watching a show, it goes away. Honest. Ocho-69 moves on, 4-1. Next...

6. The Ultimate Merger (TV ONE) Vs. 2. Frank the Entertainer - In a basement Affair (VH1)

Josh:
Frank.
Chico: Frank
Josh: At least Merger, I knew who was on it.
Alex: Frank.
Jason: Merger
Gordon: Frank. Omorosa is entertaining. Frank is as fun as dry wall.
Chico: It's a Bachelor clone with a guy from I love New York; that's as best as I can explain it.
Gordon: Frank moves on and we're guaranteed to have a VH1 show make the next round. Right now it's time for...

THE EXCRUCIATING EIGHT

1. Bridalplasty (E!) Vs. 6. Don't Forget the Lyrics (Syndie)

Alex: Oh this is a hard one
Josh: Bridalplasty
Chico: A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I called Bridalplasty the worst show EVER. I stand by that.
Alex: Bridalplasty
Jason: Bridalplasty
Gordon: Bridalplasty is an awful mess. It needs corrective surgery.
Chico: It isn't ... perfect.
Gordon: 5-0 sweep. Next...

4. Hidden Agenda (GSN) Vs. 2. America's Worst Driver (TRAVEL CHANNEL)

Josh: Worst Driver.
Chico: Hidden Agenda
Alex: Hidden Agenda
Jason: Driver
Gordon: Its up to me, huh?
Chico: Yup.
Gordon: Hidden Agenda is a terrible show, but the premise had potential - make someone do stunts for money. It was just executed badly. America's Worst Driver had a concept that should never have been allowed to get out of a conference meeting. For that reason alone, I go AWD. Next...

1. Our Little Genius (FOX) Vs. 2. I Love Money (VH1)

Chico: Money.
Josh: Genius
Alex: Money
Chico: Mind over merrrrrrda
Gordon: I have to say ILM just because it hit the air. At least FOX had the sense to yank Genius before it ruined careers.
Jason: MONEY!
Gordon: Money moves on, 4-1. Next...

1. Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch (VH1) Vs. 2. Frank the Entertainer - In a basement Affair (VH1)

Josh: Same show, different hosts.
Josh: Ocho goes on for me.
Chico: Ocho.
Gordon: Who's the worst celebrity?
Jason: Ocho
Alex: Ocho
Josh: Frank isn't even a celebrity.
Gordon: Ocho should have known better. At least Frank knew how to use his 15 minutes of fame. Ocho moves on 5-0 Sweep. So that brings us to...

THE FATAL FOUR

1. Bridalplasty (E!) Vs. 2. America's Worst Driver (TRAVEL CHANNEL)

Josh: AWD.
Jason: Two Morally reprehensible shows
Gordon: This is tough. I have to go AWD.
Josh: Bridalplasty wasn't fatal.
Gordon: Bridal Plasty won't kill you. AWD will.
Chico: YET.
Jason: Me too. Driver.
Alex: Driver
Chico: Bridalplasty
Gordon: Chico's show and the #1 seed goes down, 4-1. The other semi-final...

2. I Love Money (VH1) Vs. 1. Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch (VH1)

Josh: ILM
Jason: Money
Alex: Money
Josh: Let's say it together.
Everyone: It died and it should've stayed dead.
Chico: Money
Gordon: Make it a sweep. So it boils down to...

THE FOUL-NALS

2. America's Worst Driver (TRAVEL CHANNEL) Vs. 2. I Love Money (VH1)

Josh: I think we are all in agreement....
Chico: I'm going to say this ONE. MORE. TIME. It died. And should've STAYED DEAD.



Chico: We have a graphic for everything, don't we?
Gordon: We do.
Jason: Didn't we see that before?
Gordon: Maybe.
Alex: Money
Jason: Money. You had a show which died because of a casting error. MONEY in a sweep
Gordon: Its a bad show that made it that much worse because they aired a season that should never have aired. So congratulations to I LOVE MONEY, deemed the Worst Game Show of 2010.
Jason: BOOOOOO! (throws tomatoes)
Josh: *throws tomatoes at the logo*
Chico: The golden Haterade is yours... way to fail, VH1. Still to come, the best things in life come in threes, but first.. With Alex on the guitar... Me on the drums... and Jason playing the spoons... Here's Gordon... with One Shining Moment.
Gordon: I was going to sing it, but I'm going to let Christina Aguilera do the honors.
Josh: Don't you dare! She'll mess up the words.
Jason: Not another Twilight's Last Reaming?
Chico: Fine enough. Gordon on the 1s and 2s... and Christina Aguilera... with One Shining Moment
Gordon: While Christina's warming up, we'll go to break.
Josh: Why do I have the keyboard-guitar hybrid?

(Brought to you by Jasinsky's Couriers Two and a half Bag Special. We can ship you Charlie Sheen for 50% off! Hookers and busted cell phones not included)

Chico: .... Too soon?
Josh: TOO SOON!
Jason: FUNNY!...but too SOON!
Gordon: Never too soon :)
Chico: Okay, welcome back to WLTI. Where we have more eggheads than an over-elaborate Lady Gaga Grammy entry.
Josh: God, I needed to take a shower after that display of awful
Gordon: We need that rotten 32 team stench our of our mouths. Chico has some trios for you. Start it up.
Chico: Okay, I'll start it.

A buzzer advantage... word association... extensive computing power...

Which of these probably did the most for Watson's thorough trashing last week?

Jason: It was the buzzer.
Josh: I will say the extensive power. But you can make a case for the buzzer.
Jason: Contrary to what Ken Jen says on his blog, the buzzer was an almost unfair advantage.
Gordon: Definitely the buzzer. That was the difference in the match. Next one...

American Idol, The Amazing Race, Survivor.

All of them have suffered dips in the ratings. Who should be the most worried?

Josh: AI
Chico: Idol
Jason: Idol. They lost 5M viewers from Jan 19 to now.
Josh: Survivor changed format, Amazing Race is now in beautiful Hi Definition.
Jason: That's a 20% drop. Thats dangerous. And scary
Chico: Call the Race dip a bit of a special circumstance. It'll be up against the Oscars. Once it clears competition, look out.
Jason: 26M to 21M And it had the All-Star Game to deal with
Chico: Thank you. I was wondering what else was on.
Jason: NBA All-Star Game
Gordon: Idol. Because it's far and away the most expensive show to produce. The ratings justify it, but it won't justify 9-11 million which is what AR and Survivor consider a success.
Chico: There you go. Next...

$75,000 for a 16-year-old, $100,000 for a college student, or $50,000 for a couple of repeat offender twins.

Which victory is the sweetest?

Josh: I'll take the $100k for the college student.
Jason: Yup :) That's tuition
Gordon: $100,000. It's all about the money
Josh: It's because the college student ALWAYS needs money.
Gordon: Exactly
Chico: There you go.
Gordon: Next one...

Mark Dacascos, Chris Medina, Joey Fatone.

Who needs the next game show push?


Chico: Joey Fatone. We love him on stage, but he needs to be on TV. He needs a show
Josh: I'll go with Joey Fatone. Mark has a show already.
Chico: Mark has two.
Jason: Joey.
Gordon: I'll go with Medina. This is his one platform attempt. He's not going to get a hosting job, so he has to make it count.
Chico: That he does. Next...

A game on the Wii... an app on a smartphone... or "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing, Baby".

Complete this phrase... "I would like to compete on The Bachelor with..."

Jason: NONE OF THE ABOVE.
Josh: I'm going off the board. None of the above.
Gordon: That's so unoriginal. If you go off the board, you have to fill it in, like for instance, the Deal or no Deal women.
Josh: Never mind.
Chico: Now that I wouldn't mind. but the question...
Jason: Ok...Hugh's Hefner's new wife's bridesmaids.
Gordon: I'll go on the internets. Maybe I'll find true love there.
Chico: Sounds good. Finally?
Gordon: Last one...

Watson, Regis Philbin, Simon Cowell

If in December, you had to select an icon that represents 2011, who would it be?

Josh: Regis Philbin
Chico: Watson.
Jason: Watson. He is the biggest story of 2011...so far. Even though it wasn't perfect.
Gordon: I'll say Regis. I think Watson's part of the year is done. Regis' is just beginning.
Josh: I would say Regis because he's always been an Icon, and he'll be at his best in the final year on LIVE.
Chico: We'll see about that. Okay, time to wrap this baby up. We'll do so after the break.

(Brought to you today by the (Liver)Wurst Cooks in America. Seriously, how can you mess up sausage?)

Gordon: If you're a porn star, I could think of some ways :P
Josh: HEY NOW!
Jason: There goes our rating
Chico: And if we're still on the air, it's time for the Speed Round! Race. Jet & Cord survive this one?
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: They will survive, because someone else will screw up worse on a double lap.
Josh: Yah. They're proven racers.
Gordon: Survivor: Rob's pretty safe. How safe is Russell?
Josh: Russell is never safe.
Chico: What Josh said.
Jason: Russell is in deep trouble.
Chico: Russell's in the deep doo doo. Idol, is someone going to step up?
Jason: I Say Thia Megia does.
Gordon: I think she steps up. Did any emailers step up?
Chico: Nope. And due to circumstance beyond our control, we haven't had anyone answer our Big Facebook Question, so it stays on for another week. The question...

BIG FACEBOOK QUESTION
High Stakes Poker launches this week. How much stock will you give Norm MacDonald as host, taking over for Gabe Kaplan?

Josh: No one can replace Gabe's poker knowledge.
Chico: Well, we'll see tonight when season 7 begins. It's hard to replace AJ and Gabe. I think he'll go less for the knowledge aspect and more for the funny. We'll see how GSN wants him to play it.
Gordon: we'll see what you guys think. That ends this weeks show. Special thanks to Jason, Agent Josh and Alex Davis for joining us.
Josh: An honor and pleasure as always.
Jason: Thank you!
Gordon: Next week: Idol, Idol and more Idol.
Chico: And if we have time, some other stuff as well.
Jason: Just a little
Chico: Hey, we gotta appease to everybody
Gordon: True. So for everyone, this is Gordon, saying Game Over and Spread the Love.
Chico: We love you, New Zealand! :-)
