Episode 20.10
March 16

Chico: Nom, nom, nom.
Gordon: 4 out of 5 zombies recommend it, I hear.
Chico: Of course they would. I mean have you seen the size of their teeth?
Gordon: Wow.
Chico: Okay, welcome back to this mélange of game show insight and wiseacry known as WLTI...And it's time... for Who's Your Daddy. Jeopardy Tournament of Champions edition. So far, we've have three champions punch their tickets for next week... Dan Pawson, Larissa Kelly, and Ben Bishop.
Gordon: Very impressive for all 3, may I add.
Chico: What happens now is we're going to take the next two episodes worth of gamers and stack them up. Then comes THESE THREE as our Wild Cards.
Gordon: Sounds good. lets get cracking
Chico: First up...

Aaron Schroeder.

Gordon: He's a capable player.
Chico: He made over $100,000 over six games, so... yeah. One to be reckoned with there. Next... Jim Stevens

Chico: He's also made over $100,000... $140,000 to be exact... over seven games. He should easily top Aaron.
Gordon: I'm not going to argue too passionately on this one. I'll save the challenge for later. Put Jim over Aaron.
Chico: Alright.

Jim > Aaron.

Chico: Next.. Donna Vogel. Five games, but only about $85,000. She has a habit of playing a close game.
Gordon: I was a major fan of her strategy. Her betting got her that far. I'll put her between the 2 guys.
Chico: Sounds about right. But she's going to have to be fast and loose if she wants to win Monday.
Gordon: I agree.

Jim > Donna > Aaron.

Chico: Next... Deborah Fitzgerald.. This season 25 lifer gets five wins.. but only $55,000.
Gordon: She's a nice story, but nice stories don't do much. She's at the bottom. Sorry.

Jim > Donna > Aaron > Deborah.

Chico: Next.. Erik Nelson... $94,404 over four games. He likes big bets and big money.
Gordon: Big dumb bets in jeopardy's TOC get you killed. Especially in the first round where you bet to survive, not win. Between Aaron and Deborah.
Chico: He's locked a game once. I don't think he can do it again, not against champs. Above Deborah.

Jim > Donna > Aaron > Erik > Deborah.

Chico: Next... Mark Wales. He was the final champ of season 24. But he left the game with over $141,000.
Gordon: I remember him. Solid. Behind Jim.
Chico: He is solid. Were it not for some chick named Emily, he would've gotten to meet Kurt Davies (Hi, Kurt)... behind Jim it is.

Jim > Mark > Donna > Aaron > Erik > Deborah.

Chico: And finally... the three wild cards... Dun dun DUUUUUUN. First up... Dan "The Man" Pawson. He had a great run in his original stay, but only eked out a win in the quarterfinal. I think Jim will give him a run for the money. Behind him... just, though.
Gordon: I'll go with that
Chico: Alrighty.

Jim > Dan > Mark > Donna > Aaron > Erik > Deborah

Chico: Next... Win Ben Bishop's Money. Got over $100K the first time... Easily took the quarterfinal.
Gordon: I think he's strong. I don't think he's strong enough. between Dan and Mark.
Chico: I can go with that.

Jim > Dan > Ben > Mark > Donna > Aaron > Erik > Deborah...

Chico: And finally.... Larissa "Jeoparhottie" Kelly. What could be said that hasn't been said already. She comes... She sees... She obliterates.
Gordon: I worry about her hyper-aggressive betting, but she turned it down during the tournament. I think she's the total package. Top of the class.
Chico: Yep. She gets into the semis, though... she'll be playing to win. Which means... hyper-aggressive betting. But still... should make for a great week ahead.

Larissa > Jim > Dan > Ben > Mark > Donna > Aaron > Erik > Deborah...

Chico: There you go. Larissa's the daddy, and Deborah's the shoe. You don't agree with us, drop us a line and defend yourself.
Gordon: And that's the break. When we come back, we populate an island.
Chico: Unfortunately, it's with morons... Seeyouafterthebreak.

(Brought to you by the Pi Hole. Today's special: a whole Apple Cinnamon Crumb Pie for $3.14... Happy Pi Day, everybody)

Gordon: Someone watch Countdown a wee bit too much?
Chico: Hey. I like it. It's good stuff. Don't you like Countdown?
Gordon: I love Countdown.
Chico: You like Golden Balls? How about Temptation? Noel's Deal or No Deal? I could rattle off British game shows all day....
Gordon: And we have morons to go on the island. Start us off, Chico.
Chico: Gladly.

Taj or Spencer. They both have big mouths, and for one, it cost them the game. For the other... might cost them the million.



Chico: So which is worse: losing the game early or late?
Gordon: Early. At least Taj has a chance to get to the Jury. Spencer has his paycheck cut short. Send Spencer. And add Todd Herzog (for not providing him good enough training) with him.
Chico: HA! Next?

Jorge or Jasmine. pick a singer to provide the entertainment.

Chico: Both chose rather horrid songs, but Jorge had the added detriment of singing it badly. Send him.
Gordon: I'll select Jorge for a different reason. He had the advantage of having the audience select him in. So for 3 judges picks to get more votes than he did is enough to warrant sending him to the island.
Chico: Alright... next...

Steve-O or Steve Wozniak? Both of them... two left feet. Both of them... injured. Both of them.. want to continue. Who should just be put of their misery?

Gordon: Ok With Steve Wozniak, he's an Apple CEO. you don't expect much out of him. With Steve-o, he's a man that is flexible and you expect a lot from him in terms of dancing, not a comedy-laden routine that we saw. Send Steve-O to the island.
Chico: Sounds about right to me. And at least Steve-O has Jackass fans. What does the Woz have?
Gordon: Many electronic friends. Maybe he can use ipods to dial in for him.
Chico: Maybe so. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Scott Hamilton or Tom Green. Who should go to the island for the advertising mess?



Gordon: Here's my thought. If you have a character for Zappos, and you have a suit with a 'Z' on it, you're not going to name a character EEE, are you?
Chico: No. So who's idea was it?
Gordon: Scott's. So Scott gets to go.
Chico: Next up...

Mark & Michael or Amanda & Kris. One team got blindsided... literally... while the other one was the blind leading the blind. Ironically... to install a set of blinds.



Gordon: Amanda and Kris have nothing to do right now. Send them over.
Chico: I would, but just to say I brought this up... how do you lose an entire house?
Gordon: You send in the Oz Tornado Specialists, of course.
Chico: Ah. Of course. Finally...
Gordon: Last one....

Chico Alexander's Toe Water (for meeting his hard drive for a spark convention), Chico Alexander's router (for not working and making this edition of WLTI 6 hours long) or Chico Alexander (for owning these items in the first place)

Chico: .....
Gordon: Love you, Chico :)
Chico: Ha. Toe Water. See, now I have to go to a data recovery specialist to salvage what data I did have, which was just music... a LOT of music... and bootleg episodes of Kamen Rider (which I do not own if the government is watching)
Gordon: I'll go with the router. The Toe Water you could have done on your own time. The router is wasting my time.
Chico: Okay, so what've you got?
Gordon: So to sum this up...

Welcome to The Ides Of March Bungalow, created by Kris and Amanda. Scott Hamilton turned the pool made out of Chico's toe water into an Ice Rink, while Todd and Spencer are selling the skates. Steve-O is performing Jack-ass-like stunts on the ice while Jorge Nuñez is singing the Jackass theme on a microphone connected to the router...until Steve-O goes crashing into the house. No, Steve-o, that's a Bad Stev-o!

Chico: Ha... Speed Round's next.

(Brought to you by Make me a SuperMotel. People try to make the best motel possible - since they will be in high demand after the recession wipes out any chance of people to pay their mortgage. Brother, can you spare a bed?)

Chico: Are we going back to the days of hostels and Hoovervilles?
Gordon: We may. if that happens, I'm sleeping at your place.
Chico: Why not. You can have D's old room.
Gordon: You don't mind a Dukie living under your roof, do you?
Chico: Actually, yes I do. Well, only in March =p. Anyways. Welcome back. Time for the Speed Round...we begin with Jeopardy!... who wins the TOC in your vision?
Gordon: We wont know that yet, but I'll do with Dan, Larissa and Jim as your finalists.
Chico: It's going to be a cool match. Can you tell me who's next to go on AI?
Gordon: Usually, there's a wave of people who swing vote for their favorites who wound up in the bottom (Anoop and Megan). That puts Kris, Allison and Matt on notice.
Chico: That's your bottom three?
Gordon: That's my bottom 3. What's yours?
Chico: I'm going with Allison, because she deserves it...Matt, because he hasn't earned his spot in the top yet...and Kris, because he hasn't wowed me yet
Gordon: I could see Matt having issues on Idol. Who'll have issues on Survivor?
Chico: Please for the love of God, ERINN! How about it, fates?
Gordon: I think Erinn is in trouble but I also see Taj setting herself up for her own demise. I think her giving her away her Idol is going to come back to haunt her.
Chico: We'll see. How about the Race?
Gordon: Blondes.
Chico: Hard to go from First to Worst, but not impossible...Ain't that right, Allison & Donny?
Gordon: Sure is. We can't do mail this week due to technical difficulties, but we did get mail. You'll see it next week. We promise.
Chico: And we'll get the rats out of the machine by then too. In the meantime, special thanks to Jason Block for joining us.
Gordon: If we can find him...he's been cleaning up that hamster pellets for way to long. I'm concerned.
Chico: Well, while we go look for him, we let you out into the world to share what you've learned from us this week... Until next time, for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander.. enjoy March Madness and spread the love.
