- TEAM GORDON: Donald, Roshon, Melissa, William
- TEAM CHICO: Jaleel, Donald, Roshon, Sherri
- TEAM BLOCK: Jaleel, Donald, Roshon, Melissa
|
Jason: Thats big.
Chico: It is. For one of the biggest shows on TV. It's the 14th Dancing with the
Stars.
Jason: (drinks a bottle of water)
Chico: And once again, we're pushing the definition of the word "star".
Jason: You ain't kidding.
Chico: You know how this works, I give you the star and the partner, you tell me
how they do.
Chico: First...
Gavin DeGraw (singer of "Chariot", "Follow Through", "I Don't Wanna Be" and
recently "Not Over You") and Karina Smirnoff
Jason: Mid pack. He is popular, but I don't know how well it will translate.
Gordon: I agree with Jason here. I think he will be higher than thought, because
he is the bible belt, but there's more people who are popular. Mid-Pack.
Chico: Well let's see. He's popular. He has rhythm, and Karina's a good teacher.
I'll go mid pack. Next...
Wideout for the Green Bay Packers and future Hall of Famer Donald Driver... and
his partner Peta Murgatroyd.
Jason: Top 4.
Gordon: Hey! It's the NFL! Top 4. I think this is your winner.
Jason: Athletes do well.
Chico: Very well. I'll go top 4. Next...
Star of "Shake It Up" Roshon Fegan and his partner Chelsie Hightower.
Chico: "Shake It Up" is a show about a dance academy that airs on ... class?
Jason and Gordon: DISNEY!
Chico: Good! You get an Oreo
Jason: (chomp)
Chico: Roshon gets top 4.
Jason: Agreed. Top 4.
Gordon: Oh ho - So you guys finally listen to me on the power of the mouse?
Chico: Yeah.
Jason: The Power of the mouse, compels me.
Chico: You're gonna say something different now.
Gordon: Nope. Top 4.
Chico: .. Or not. Next...
Melissa Gilbert of "Little House" and every movie-of-the-week NOT starring
Valerie Bertinelli... and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Chico: The perennial bridesmaid. Bottom 4.
Gordon: See what Ricki Lake did? She has the same auridnece. Top 4.
Jason: She is going to be the Ricki Lake/Kirstie Alley/Jennifer Grey Nostalgia.
TOP 4
Chico: I don't know, Tommy. We'll see.
Chico: Next...
Katherine Jenkins (opera singer) and her partner Mark Ballas.
Chico: Gordon, I believe you know as well as I do what ELSE she did.
Jason: What did she do?
Gordon: WHO...moi? :)
Chico: Vous. See, 2010 had one of the better Doctor Who Christmas specials on,
and she was... frozen lady
Jason: Ah. Nice. Still Bottom.
Chico: And that's what scares me. Because we're going "Oh, Doctor Who!" And
America's going "Oh, doctor... WHO?!"
Gordon: Heh. Agreed. Bottom 4.
Chico: Bottom. Next..
Gladys Knight (legendary R&B singer) and her partner Tristan McManus
Jason: Sorry. Bottom as well
Chico: Bottom.
Gordon: Absolutely not the bottom - but not the top either. Midpacker.
Chico: Okay, next...
William Levy (telenovela star) and his partner Cheryl Burke.
Jason: Midpack
Chico: She usually flames out spectacularly after she wins a big one. Bottom
Like.. seriously, WHO?
Jason: See = Telenovela
Gordon: I'm going to disagree with both of you. Latin Heartthrob. Younger. Can
dance. Does this remind you of anyone?
Jason: no
Chico: Yeah, ME! :-D
Gordon: ...no.
Chico: ...Aw.
Gordon: It reminds me of one Mr. JR Martinez. Here's your dark horse. Top 4,
Possible upset winner.
Chico: Next...
Maria Menounos... hottie... and her partner Derek Hough.
Gordon: Bottom 4. First one out.
Chico: Bottom 4, but not the first one out. I know who's the first one out.
Jason: Yes. Bottom 4
Chico: ...HER...
Martina Navratilova and her parner Tony Dovolani.
Gordon: I stand corrected. Martina wins the Door Prize
Jason: Bottom 4
Chico: Bottom 4, first to the door. Next..
Sherri Shepherd (who's TNG relaunches NEXT week) and her partner Val
Chmerkovskiy.
Chico: Okay, let's see. Sherri's also the host of what now?
Jason: The View
Chico: On WHAT network?
Jason: ABC
Chico: HERE's your dark horse. Top 4.
Jason: Midpack
Gordon: And with the counter argument...What political alignment is she?
Jason: LIberal
Chico: Quite.
Gordon: Who votes on the show?
Jason: Conservatives
Chico: Quite.
Gordon: She won't sniff the Top 4, midpack. And I would put a sushi dinner on
that
Chico: Gordon plays the sushi card. He doesn't do that often.
Gordon: Any takers?
Jason: No. I am with you.
Gordon: Aw.
Chico: Next..
Soap opera star, one-hit wonder, and perennial daytime game show spoiler... Jack
Wagner and his partner Anna Trebunskaya.
Chico: Spoilers go to Hell. Bottom.
Jason: Sorry Midpack...bottom of it.
Gordon: Bottom midpack also
Chico: And finally...
Jaleel White and his partner Kym Johnson.
Chico: That rounds out MY top 4.
Jason: Here is your dark horse Top 4. Nostalgia and Fun,
Chico: You want to talk nostalgic? He and ABC go way back. Family Matters, Sonic
the Hedgehog on Saturday mornings.
Gordon: I think if he can dance, he has a shot. Midpack, I think he finishes in
the Top half.
Jason: So...for me: TOP 4: WHITE, DRIVER, FEGAN, GILBERT - Winner: Gilbert.
Chico: My top 4... WHITE, DRIVER, FEGAN, SHEPHERd, winner... DRIVER.
Gordon: My Top 4: DRIVER, FEGAN, GILBERT, and in a surprise...LEVY. But I'm
going chalk on the winner: DONALD DRIVER
Jason: Congratulations to Snooki for winning the whole thing
Chico: I'll play the sushi card on Driver
Jason: Gilbert isn't sushi bet worthy. The American Public are very fickle.
Chico: Very fickle.
Gordon: I don't have the heart to take that bet. Besides, you wouldn't pay up,
as you're in NC.
Chico: True. But it's gonna be a fun race to the finish. We'll be following it.
Meanwhile, let's break. When we come back, will we pin the McLaughlin Machine?
Jason: I dont know.
Chico: It's 15 Shades of Wrong, but first, watch this, please.
(Brought to you by The Great Peyton Race. Teams compete to
make the best tribute to bring Peyton Manning to their team. The winning team
gets a million dollars in free advertising and maybe one of the bext QB's of all
time. So what will it take? A Bronze statue? A harem of women? Rex Ryan's head
in a box?)
Gordon: So Chico and I are back here. Jason Block has
go to GWU in face paint
and a French Maid's outfit.
Chico: Umm. Ew? (15)
(John McLaughlin: WRONG!")
Gordon: Now yes, that may be wrong, which leads us to this nice segue to our
next game.
Chico: Let's play ... 15 Shades of Wrong. We start with...

Chico: Jason's come back from GWU.
Jason: Not cool guys. :-) And I still say the 8 is where the dress thing should
be.
Chico: I'm going with 11, and I stand by my opinion that Courtney PINS the
Hot-Crazy Scale. Gordon?
Gordon: I will say 5 on the miscommunication scale, but 8 on the Courtney is
delusional scale. I'm guessing after getting the dress, she went out to the
supermarket and got herself a Glenn Close mask and some nice ripe bunnies.
Chico: She won't get a ring, but she'll have a lot of Peeps. :-) That averages
to...
Brobot bleeps... "EIGHT."
Gordon: Good brobot. Next one...

Chico: A 4 on theory, a 12 on execution.
Gordon: He's weird, but effective. 7, but Colton needs to make sure thart 'Let's
vote for Colton because he's in charge' doesn't turn into 'Let's bring Colton to
us to the finals because going up against him is an easy million dollar win'
Jason: Actually it's a 5. He is treading the annoying/brilliant line. He could
be the next Russell if he doesnt watch himself.
Chico: So a 5, a 7, and an 8.
Chico: Brobot?
Brobot bleeps... "SEVEN."
Gordon: It's not enough to be the leader. You have to be charismatic enough to
get people to vote for you to win. People haven't gotten down that facet of the
game yet.
Jason: And Colton ain't that. At all. He is drunk on his own power.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: Not when you're coming ff as creepy, no.
Chico: Okay, this one JUST MIGHT pin the Wrong scale...

Chico: To explain, Cohen arrived as his character in "The Dictator." He had an
"urn" of "Kim Jong-il's ashes" And he spilled them. It was more like pancake flour than actual ashes.
Jason: And I laughed my ass off. 0.
Chico: I thought the reaction from the blogosphere and the twitterverse was
weirder than this. And Donald Trump, who has a reaction to everything. 2.
Gordon: The event itself? 0. Sasha Baron Cohen? 0. The audience? 13, for
thinking that this is entertaining.
Chico: So... for the event...
Brobot bleeps... "ONE.".
Chico: And the reaction to it....

Jason: This irks me. This is a 12. You signed the contract. Honor it. You are a
bunch of overweight semi-reality stars.
Chico: Don't give me the "this isn't what I signed up for". You KNEW what you
signed up for. You didn't see this one coming, you weren't paying attention. 15
Gordon: 15. Forget the money. This is an opportunity to get HEALTHY. On someone
else's dime. THIS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. For you to walk out on the show just
because there's competition means that you're perceptions of reality are
completely screwed up and you're there for the absolute wrong reasons. And on a
side note, I hope they replace the whole cast. The cast that's still in the
house suck.
Chico: They've sucked all season.
Gordon: The casting directors need to be grounded for this season.
Brobot bleeps.... "14. EVERYBODY PANIC."
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next one.

Jason: Snarky Alex...I love it. Although Jeopardy has gotten covertly political
over the last few years in the questions. 1.
Chico: For people who think that way, J... It's a quiz show. It's trivia. You
know it. Or you don't. Simple.
Jason: That's true. But the quote itself was brilliant :-) '
Chico: Anyway, I'm going to go ... about 4. It's minor, but again, where's
someone who represents big government. We've seen pundit after pundit. I'm ready
for the real deal. I'm ready for the real deal Holyfield.
Gordon: 1. If I'm a senator, specifically one looking to be elected, this is a
fine forum for me to have an awful showing and be deemed, right or wrong, that
I'm an idiot, unft to run this country. I would avoid this like the plague. The
only people who should do this are people not running for re-election.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: Congrats, Gordon, you made the end-of-year reel with that one. :-)
Gordon: Whoo hoo!
Brobot... "TWO."
Chico: Just weird. And accurate. For what it's worth. Finally?
Gordon: Last one...

The 'Snatch Game' Episode, RuPaul's Drag Race.
Jason: Is there a good wrong/bad wrong? :-)
Chico: Judges?
(DING!)
Chico: We can do good wrong/bad wrong.
Jason: Bad Wrong 0/ Good Wrong 15. Love this.
Chico: Agreed. And it shows, for what it's worth... why Match Game worked in that
era. It was just so irreverent like the 70s were so irreverent. And if anyone
wants to mount a Match Game reboot, they too will have to be irreverent.
Gordon: Good Wrong: 15. It was a great episode. However...Bad Wrong: 10. Beat
the Cock? Really?
Jason: (snicker)
Chico: Again... IRREVERENT
Gordon: The one thing I find very interesting about this season - it's almost
like they went out of their way to make sure that the cast mold of the first 3
winners (tall athletic physically perfect black dude) won't win it this season.
Jason: Interesting.
Brobot: Good wrong... (15... EVERYBODY.... DON'T PANIC) Bad wrong... (3.)
Chico: That's 15 Shades of Wrong.
Gordon: You have 2 white dudes, 2 fat dudes, a shorty and 2 black model dudes
who are consistently at the bottom and who will get booted soon.
Chico: Can I call the fat dude winning?
Gordon: which one?
Chico: Does it matter which one? I just wanna call a fat dude wining.
Gordon: Sure. I'll call a skinny white dude winning
Chico: I guess that leaves Block with the shorty and us with the break.
(Brought to you by America's Next Top Model: Space Invasion. One of these seven
models will have a shot.. actually... they will have as many shots as they need
to... to take on an army of leggy aliens from the space. All they have to do is
remember to shoot WHERE THEY'RE GOING, NOT WHERE THEY ARE.)
Jason: LOL
Chico: And... pro-tip... you CAN shoot your own barrier. I suggest shooting a
hole straight through and ducking behind it. Crazy? Yes. But it works. Just be
sure to shoot at the alien models before they start speeding up... like we'll do
right now.
Chico: SPEED ROUND TIME!
Gordon: Idol: who bites it first?
Jason: Shannon Magrane
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: Hey Jeremy Rosado! You got picked by the judges! Congratulations! Here's
your ticket home.
Chico: Survivor: who gets booted next?
Jason: The chick who was laughing. Because the women suck
Chico: Kat?
Jason: yeah
Gordon: If you see the CBS promos, something unprecedented happens. I'm going to
go with that and say a man gets booted, which means bye bye Leif.
Chico: I'm going to go with the guys and... Bill. Leif's a trooper and Colton
has a trump card.
Gordon: Do we have any email?
Chico: We DO! First from Steven Waldie... Thank you, Steven.

Hey, guys! I want to remind you all about an important TV milestone that
shouldn't be forgotten this year: The 50th anniversary of Don Francisco (Mario
Kreutzberger) and his game/variety show hybrid "Sabado Gigante" on Univision.
The show that would become "Sabado Gigante" debuted in 1962 in Kreutzberger's
native Chile and was introduced to U.S. viewers in 1986. "Sabado Gigante" has
earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running TV
show to air a new episode every week without a rerun or a pre-emption. Don
Francisco has also been honored with an Emmy award and a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. Spanish speaking or not, millions tune in week after week for
segments such as "La Cuatro", "El Chacal de la Trompeta" and the always exciting
end game played for a car. Felicidades, Don Francisco! Let's all "Mueve La
Colita" for this TV legend! |
” |
Jason: You know what...MUY BUENO
Chico: Si si senor.
Jason: I have watched the show....and it's fun.
Chico: It really is. I remember growing up in Monterey, CA. Saturday night, the
TV was on Sabado Gigante.
Jason: It's sort of a melting pot of talking, playing, singing and all that.
Chico: And it all works. This WAS THE Big Saturday night.
Gordon: I agree 100% here. Sabado Gigante was what Big Saturday NIght should
have been.
Chico: Right on. Finally, we have a tweet. (FOLLOW US @WLTIonGSNN!!!!)
(Shameless)
Gordon: Yay!
Chico: And... you're not going to believe it... Justin Hofstetter tweeted us. Or
at least a guy who looks a lot like him.
Jason: Say WHAT?
Chico: But here it is..

I prefer Joe Flacco to Lebron (a bit of the same reasoning) if you
will. Thurgood Marshall was my Billy Cundiff. Grover Cleveland = Evans. |
” |
Chico: You know what, I approve. Besides, everyone likes Joe Flacco. Lebron...
not so much.
Gordon: Thanks for the Tweet, Justin Maybe we can set up an interview with you
sometime
Chico: And again, if you want to join in the conversation... drop us a tweet, we
are @wltiongsnn. Or if you want to open the e-mail, do the typing, mail us at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com
Gordon: And that ends the show this week. Special thanks to Jason Block for
joining us.
Jason: Thank you. Always a pleasure.
Chico: Next week, it's a fight to the finish. Or at least a fight to start. We
go over Ultimate Fighter FX flavor, and break down the first Voice battle round
Jason: We will be there with gloves on.
Chico: Hope you will too. Until then for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, game
over... and spread the love.
