Episode 20.11
March 23

Chico: Hey Gordon...
Gordon: Yes Chico?
Chico: GET IN THE CORNER. NOW.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: I'd like to point out that in our March Madness bracket, you are losing to Cheeseball.
Jason: I am in first.
Chico: How is Jason in first?
Jason: I am.
Gordon: It's the first 2 days. Just like he gets the Round of 36 in good shape on Idol until he says silly things like Allison Iraheta and Michael Sarver are leaving.
Chico: Point taken...
Jason: I have 2/4 perfect brackets
Gordon: And how is that South region looking, Jay?
Jason: No comment.
Chico: I have ZERO perfect brackets. But my closest one is the one I have on my Facebook. Welcome back. We at WLTI know that the economy is ... well... for lack of a better word crappy. But that doesn't mean you have to be the loser.
Jason: Tell me about it.
Chico: Hence, we provide to you.... BARGAIN HUNTERS.
Gordon: And we start with a simple one.

The showcases this week on The Price is Right - not too shabby. Which of these things would you want: an LA Dodger Package, a Plasma HDTV with PS3, XBOX 360, and Guitar Hero and Rock Band 2, or a Nintendo Wii Nascar '09 Package and a Trip to the Brickyard 400?

Chico: Easy. PS3 package. Get me a bit of Rock Band 2 up in here.
Gordon: There are 2 gaming packages up there, Chico
Jason: Nascar.
Gordon: I'll go PS3 because of the Plasma that goes with it.
Chico: Good, Gordon.
Gordon: No love for the Dodgers. Sorry, Joe Van Ginkel.
Jason: He's an Angels fan.
Gordon: Would be fun to spend a few weeks with him though in LA.
Chico: Let's hope.
Jason: Me too. And see some games at Angels Stadium.
Gordon: True. Next...

Wheel went to Sea World Orlando. Jeopardy! went to Las Vegas. Amazing Race... Siberia. Time to get out of town, folks. Where are you going?

Jason: Vegas, baby!
Gordon: Vegas, of course
Chico: Talk about a no-brainer. So pack your bags, kids... Siberia it is!
Gordon: Hardy har har.
Jason: Besides...do you want to see me run in Siberia?
Chico: NO!
Gordon: I would. Permanent blackmail material.
Jason: ROFL
Chico: On that note, it's time to move on. Next?
Gordon: Next one... Did you know that Top Chef was starting their tour on Friday in NYC?
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Gordon... I think we may be going...no?
Gordon: Yes, We're going.

If you could use your inordinate wealth to pay to be a contestant on the following shows: Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, Chopped, or The Chopping Block, which one do you go to and why?

Jason: Honestly, Chopped. I like the fast paced challenge aspect of it. And Ted Allen is cool.
Chico: Chopped. I like the challenge, but I don't want a large commitment.
Gordon: Now you all know I like to play to win, right?
Chico: Right.
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: I would get smoked on Chopped or Top Chef, and as much fun as being on the show would be, I'd be gone the first episode.
Chico: Or in the case of Chopped, the first course.
Gordon: However, Hell's Kitchen's contestants are, shall we say...morons.
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Yes, yes they are.
Gordon: Not only would I not be out the first episode, but I think I would have a solid chance to win. So put me on Hell's Kitchen so I could meet my idol.
Chico: Just don't question him. He'll eat you alive.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next...

Upper Deck is releasing a line of American Idol trading cards.. What would you want the prize of your collection to be?

Jason: Autographed Kelly Clarkson. No wait...Autographed Simon Cowell.
Chico: Damn. Took mine.
Gordon: I would have first said Carrie Underwood, but that would mean that the words on the card would either be missing or spelled incorrectly.
Chico: *ding*
Jason: No. You. Didn't.
Gordon: Yes. I. Did
Chico: Heh.
Gordon: So I'll take the hottest person on the face of the planet right now, and that's Jennifer Hudson.
Chico: Me... Randy Jackson. Plain and simple.
Gordon: If you go back to see Idol Season 4, the best part of Carrie Underwood's performances were not the lyrics, which she either forgot or replaced. The bast part was clearly her...assets.
Chico: So Carrie's card would be nice to look at ... but you want to take home Jennifer Hudson's card. Makes PERFECT sense.
Gordon: Yep. Next one...

Sci Fi Network has 3 personal GSNN faves: Cha$e, Estate of Panic, and WCG. If you could buy any of the SETS, which show would it be?

Chico: WCG. ANY DAY.
Jason: WCG. Gamer. Gamer's Wet dream.
Chico: You want to talk about drool-worthy?
Gordon: Now why would I want to buy a white room?
Jason: No way...I am talking the HOUSE.
Chico: Big plasma.
Gordon: The room is nice. The stadium seating is nice, but all that is are 2 big white circles. I would want a house also - a MANSION. A nice spooky mansion which I can make a game room out of. I'll grab the Estate of Panic, thank you.
Chico: The set for Cha$e... crawling with drones who want to have their way with you. And not in the good way, Gordon.
Gordon: Amazon Beard can have her way with me anytime.
Chico: I betcha she can...
Jason: Give me Icey though.
Chico: I seem to remember a convo with you saying... "I'd hit that." And me saying, "Yeah, and she'd hit back."
Gordon: She can Sonic Stun me anytime.
Jason: LOL
Chico: Okay.. Next up..

A swimming pool, a collection of silver tights, or a bunch of styrofoam walls? Fox really sees no need for any of these at the moment.




Gordon: Yes, Hole in the Wall got yanked. Again.
Chico: AGAIN, Daddy?
Jason: For the third time
Chico: Third time lucky, hopefully. Maybe it'll die and stay dead this time.
Gordon: Until GSN picks it up.
Jason: Ouch.
Chico: Four words: Show. Me. The Money. And dropped it after how many episodes again?
Gordon: 7
Chico: Out of an original order for...
Gordon: 13
Chico: Yeah. I see the same thing happening here. SO... I'll gladly take the pool...
Jason: Pool for me.
Gordon: Pool. Good for the Summer.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: That's it. We're done.
Chico: Alright. And on the horizon... The reason why I have an extra hat this week.
Gordon: We're done spending. Now we spare the rod and spoil the pun with our new game, Coming up next!

(Brought to you today by the NBBC. Bringing you incredibly chopped and screwed editions of your favorite British programmes since... well, when was Coupling again?)

Jason: Too long ago. I have the series on DVD. From the BBC...classic.
Chico: Yep. Though season four was worth a tattoo removal. Just my opinion. Welcome back. This is the mélange of game show news, insight, in-jokes and random catch phrases we call WLTI. And up on the horizon.... a great sunrise!
Gordon: (baby)Waaaaaa(/baby)
Chico: And in its glow... a cooing newborn!
Jason: Awwwwww
Chico: And on our page... A NEW GAME!
Jason: What is it?
Chico: This game is called...



Chico: How do we play it?
Gordon: We're going to give you a topic. You're going to say something that fills that topic.
Jason: Alright.
Gordon: For example, if I said...

Jason: I would say..."oh no...it's Scott Macintyre"
Chico: "Hi! I'm Ben Bailey, and you're in the Cash Cab!"
Gordon: "How much does it cost? Well, how much do you have?"
Jason: LOL
Gordon: And you keep on putting in witty repartees until you hear the BUZZ
Jason: Gotcha.
Chico: Got it.
Gordon: Ok Chico, start us off
Chico: Right... First up...

Jason: "Hey You Guys work for AIG...I am sticking with you."
Gordon: "Hi! I'm Johnny Fairplay! Wanna see my new wrestling moves with my wife Michelle and the kid?"
Chico: "... and then I happened upon the dead body, and I notice... wait a minute... this is my boss!"
Jason: "Hi! I'm Sugar! Meet me new friends...the Elephant and the Rhino"
Gordon: Hey look! It's The Hof, Sharon and Piers! Are you here to judge my talent?"
Chico: "I'm just here to meet the dude from Rock & Roll Jeopardy!... I'm totally baked right now."
Jason: (sings "Islands In the Stream") Simon, new chick and Randy...what do you think?

(BUZZ)

Jason: LOL. This is fun
Gordon: Cool. Next one...

Gordon: "Look! It's the Naked Cowboy! And he's dueting with David Hasselhoff and a Cheeseburger!"
Jason: "oh my god! There's the last bottle of imported Pellegrino water!"
Chico: Two words.... shoe sale.
Jason: "It's Paris! "
Gordon: It's Tyra! And She's with David Archuleta! Shriek!
Jason: It's Rupaul! And he's with Christian Siriano!
Chico: It's a tall person!
Jason: It's a CHEESEBURGER! It's a meal!
Chico: "It's MILEY! GET HER!"
Jason: It's an open bathroom! With a mirror! Free makeup!

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Sillies. Next one?
Chico: Next...

Jason: "Hey Larissa! Wanna see my Almanac?"
Gordon: Hey Larissa, it seems you're stressed out. Have some of my foaming tea."
Chico: "I picked a perfect day to stop drinking."
Jason: "I don't want to get beaten...by a girl"
Chico: "I have to prove that she's a Cylon infiltrant!"
Jason: Hey Larissa...wanna check out my dic-tionary."
Chico: "*call phone* Hi, is this Ken Jennings? I need your brain... no, seriously, I need to borrow your brain... No, Tuesday will be too late!"
Gordon: Maybe Ken Jennings was right and some people on Jeopardy are robots.
Chico: "Hey Larissa... I kissed your husband... and I liked it."

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Next one...

Jason: It's Me - Sanjaya! Look at my hair!
Gordon: Yes Alexis, the Dolly Parton hairdo is PERFECT for your performance.
Chico: *reads a book* ... Insert scissors into hair piece and push blades together...(Snips) ... Uh oh.
Jason: You are definitely an autumn.
Gordon: But Kristy Lee Cook, that Indian Shawl look did wonders for Joseph and The Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat.
Chico: Why yes, this totally accentuates your hard abs and stunning physique... Will that be all, Mr. Seacrest?
Gordon: "Oh yes, Silver Spandex is perfect when you fall in a pool"
Jason: "T shirts and jeans" They are still in Mr. Cowell.
Chico: "Well, I was the first voted off of Project Runway... Apparently cardboard and polyester... didn't work."
Gordon: "Hair? You're a model, you don't need hair. Just use these weaves that I gave to Toccara. And have some cheeseburgers. That worked for her, too."

(BUZZ)

Chico: You like cheeseburgers, don't you, Gordon?
Gordon: I prefer sushi, myself.
Chico: Next up...

Jason: I am sooo calling Paris Hilton.
Chico: "So who are you calling?" "YOU, Meredith!"
Gordon: I'm calling Ellen DeGeneres. Hell, it worked for the person who called Rosie O'Donnell.
Chico: "Hey Gordon!" "Yyyyes, Chico?"
Gordon: Chico the answer is D. I'm 69% sure.
Jason: Hello...this is Sugar....
Gordon: I'd like to call Michael Davies. It's his damn show, so I bet he knows the answer.
Jason: Mr. President....
Chico: "Hello, is this Alex Trebek's residence? You got your cards ready?.... What do you mean you're drunk? And what the hell is seven comes a niner?"

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Last one...

Jason: Here you are sir...Gruel.
Chico: "And for your main, sir.... Crow. Seared Louisiana style."
Gordon: This is my personal favorite. Prune Cheesecake with a Castor Oil Cocktail.
Chico: "Who wants an apple core sundae?"
Jason: And on top of your porterhouse...a hemlock glaze.
Gordon: Would you like the arsenic almonds or the sashimi fugu on the side?
Chico: And for your starter sir, Bruschetta smeared with dog feces. Eat up.
Jason: And for the sandwich....Salmonella Peanut Butter.
Gordon: It's what I call Fear Factor Pizza, complete with the black and furry moon cheese from last month's WLTI.

(BUZZ)

Gordon: And there you go. Our new game. how do you like it?
Chico: I think we have a keeper.
Jason: We do.
Gordon: We wrap this up with the Speed Round - next!

(Brought to you by Survivor: NCAA. 64 teams step up on the island. Only one tribe remains. Can you figure out who wins?)

Jason: UNC.
Chico: UNC. That's who the President has
Gordon: I'll take the field.
Chico: I bet you will.
Gordon: And we move on to The Speed Round...now! Idol - Who's next to leave?
Chico: Michael Sarver.
Gordon: I think he's safe. I think Megan has problems this week.
Jason: I agree with Megan.
Chico: Alright.
Gordon: DWTS: Can anything save Steve Wozniak?
Chico: Another Apple geek save. Right, Gordon?
Gordon: I think so. But I think what's more likely is an injured Steve-O bowing out.
Chico: Oh yeah.
Jason: Steve-O.
Chico: Will the Blondes overcome the Race?
Gordon: No they won't. bye blondes
Jason: Dont think so. With a speed bump and a potential U-Turn. NOpe.,
Chico: So sorry. And finally... once and for all... Jeopardy! TOC... Who takes the money?
Jason: Larissa.
Chico: Dan.
Gordon: Larissa
Chico: I'm only saying Dan, now, because Jason's going with Larissa.
Gordon: Jason has to be right one of these times...doesn't he?
Jason: Sometime.
Chico: We'll see next week.
Gordon: Will we see any mail this week?
Chico: Not on my end, I'm afraid.
Gordon: I have some mail
Chico: Deliver, sir.
Gordon: This is from Steve Waldie. Thanks Steve!

Jason: LOL Sure can.

Gordon: Hey Steve. They won't do it because if you're an advertiser, you want to give the product out.
Jason: Exactly.
Gordon: If it's a high market item (like a car), maybe, but on things like trips, they actually GET money from the people who win them, since you will have to spend money on hotel service, food, transportation, etc.
Chico: Not to mention for the firm that books them.
Gordon: Exactly. People want their name out there, so they have to give stuff out.

Chico: Well, there are a LOT of games we haven't seen in ages.
Gordon: These games are brought out in a cyclical basis. 3 Strikes will be back.

Chico: They probably won't be back come fall. They MAY be back come midseason. It all depends on how desperate NBC is at that time.
Jason: Yeah. Deal is doing well enough in syndication to warrant it back on NBC
Gordon: I think the models may be the new dancing Itos once we get to more Madoff Madness on Jay Leno.
Chico: Dancing models? OKAY!
Jason: Way!
Gordon: Thanks for the email, Steve! Keep 'em coming! I have more email for you. This one's from Mike Ceciliani. Thanks, Mike!

Gordon: Thanks for the email Mike. I don't know if Ben is related to Fred. I do know however, that Fred is not Ben's father - Ben Silverman's father is Stanley Silverman, who's a music composer. That's all I got. Hey Chico, if more people want to send in mail, where does it go?
Chico: It goes to... WLTI@gameshownewsnet.com OR check us out on Facebook... or on Myspace... Or check out the Video Wall on YouTube. Meanwhile, it's sadly that time of the week where we let you out into the waking world to bask into that new spring sunshine...
Jason: Awwww.....
Chico: *achoo!*... and allergies.
Jason: Big time.
Gordon: Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us. For Jason and Chico, this is Gordon, saying Game Over and Spread the Love.
Chico: *achoo!*
