Chico: Yoyo..
Jason: Best break of 2007. Bar none.
Gordon: lol
Chico: Okay, time to get serious for a bit. Serious lights... Serious music... It's time for The Blame Game.
Jason: (serious clothes) lets do it.
Chico: And you've heard this all show... there is a twist to this round of the Blame Game, and that is... *picture of Rob Mariano* This.
Jason: Him?
Chico: Somewhere on the board is this picture. Uncover it, and 10 of your points go to your opponent. Get it? "Rob?"
Jason: Got it.
Chico: I call it "Being Robbed". Other than that, five questions, 10 points a pop with a 5 point follow up. All three point cards are in play. Gordon, you start it.
Gordon: Let's do it

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Gordon: ok - #9 please
Chico: Number nine...Gordon, you just got Robbed.
Jason: BOO-YAH! Nothing happens though.
Chico: No. So much for THAT. Okay, Gordon, try again, this time without the suck.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Gordon: Well its the same feeling that the producers should have for screwing
Rob Mariano twice. Ok - 3 then.
Chico: 3... Who am I....

I was born in 1983 in Kansas City, MO. Since then, I've become a successful model and TV host, first hosting the travel series "Get Out" for HDNet. Ever since December of 2005, though, I've been spending most of my time opening briefcases on Monday nights. Without telling you which one is mine, I can safely say that when the guys on WLTI see me, they shout "Boo-yah!"

Gordon: DING!
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: That could be a few of them, but I'll say Hayley.
Chico: No.

I... Am.... Lin...

Jason: buzz
Chico: Block?
Jason: Lindsey of DOND
Chico: Which one?
Jason: I don't know her last name
Chico: There are two of them...
Jason: I don't know
Gordon: Say the one with the bigger breasts
Jason: Gordon wins.
Chico: Heh... No one got it. The last name was "Clubine", by the way.
Gordon: Was she the one with the bigger breasts?
Jason: LOL
Chico: Yeah, but you're not going to get anything for it
Gordon: We got Robbed, Jay
Chico: Okay, for the 5er... Was Dancing responsible for the drop in Dealership from 18 million to 14 million this week?
Jason: The answer is yes. There was a curiosity factor for the premiere and the Pirates of the Caribbean Trailer.
Gordon: Of course it was. And it's going to get even worse next week when it competes against both Dancing and the NCAA Finals. And the Pirates Trailer didn't hurt.
Chico: Double whammy. Both of you score.

Gordon - 5, Block - 5.

Chico: Gordon, it's still your board.

1 2 4 5 6 7 8

Gordon: 7 please
Chico: 7.... Who am I...

I was born in England in 1960. After serving in the Forces over there, I concentrated my energies into television, having produced several formats since 1999.

Gordon: DING!
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: Simon Cowell.
Chico: Okay, Wrong. Continuing for Block.

My most recent venture, a quiz show for Fox, is now one of the highest rated shows of its kind in the nation. On the side, I recently got engaged to fellow transplant Roma Downey.

Jason: BUZZ
Chico: Block?
Jason: Mark Burnett
Chico: That's correct for 10.
Gordon: Oh, I call Shenanigans. Burnett started producing formats well before 1999. Eco-Challenge started in 1996.
Chico: Oh crap. I forgot about that.
Jason: Give us both 10. I don't care.
Chico: Done and done.
Jason: See, I am fair.
Gordon: I'm still going to lose, but I want the score to be close.
Chico: Okay, for 5 points... Who can you blame for the popularity of "5th Grader"?
Jason: Simple. The American Public. They are sheep that will watch anything after Idol.
Chico: And Gordon, your thought about what made 5th Grader popular?
Gordon: The 9:30 to 10:00 pm slot right after Idol, but also the fact that we haven't had an academic quizzer since Millionaire and the Public wants that. 1 Vs. 100 is a pop culture quizzer, and not an academic quizzer.
Chico: Not in primetime at least.
Gordon: Right
Chico: So 5 for each of you.

Gordon - 20, Block - 20

Chico: Block, it's your board.

1 2 4 5 6 8

Jason: 5 please...
Chico: Five please.... 10 POINT CARD!
Jason: Yes!
Gordon: I want Rob Mariano's agent on the phone, Stat.
Jason: LOL

Gordon: 20, Block: 30.

Chico: And it's still your board.

1 2 4 6 8

Jason: Numbah 1
Chico: Number one... What am I...

I was born in 1946 with the production of our first transistor radio, dubbed the TR-55 and released in 1955. We had an initial identity crisis, but soon took our name from a local slang word for "whiz kids". As a result of our initial persistence, we became a worldwide leader in home electronics and entertainment.

Gordon: DING!
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: Sony?
Chico: Congrats. You got one right. :)
Jason: Nice get.
Chico: The follow up. Can you blame the tie-breaker match on Monday on a little kid who asked if there was ever a three-way tie?
Gordon: Was he crying when he asked?
Chico: No.
Gordon: No No no only kidding. Seriously, No, I don't blame the kid. I blame the person who could have locked the game away who decided, for strategy's sake to attempt to bring back his competitors. Eventually, it may have cost him, but I don't blame him for why he did it. However, I blame him for doing it.
Jason: I agree. No, you can't. It was all about the bad betting of the champion. He should have added the $1 and be done with it.
Chico: You're both correct.
Jason: Can you explain the kid reference?
Chico: The boy may have planted the seed, but it was on the guy in front to do the wagering. The reference: over the break before the Friday final, a kid asks if there was ever a 3-way tie.

Gordon: 35, Block: 35

Chico: Gordon, your board...

2 4 6 8

Gordon: 2 please
Chico: 2... who am I...

I was born in 1954 in Long Island, New York to a Jewish American family. My father got me into broadcasting at an early age thanks to a recording studio he owned.

Jason: Buzz
Chico: Block?
Jason: Howard Stern
Chico: Right. Now if you two were paying attention to this show, you'd know the answer to this... But is Howard Stern to blame for Sanjaya's run on Idol?
Jason: Nope. It's more on the singers who didn't distinguish themselves.
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: No he's not. This happens every year when someone who has nice looks makes a run at Idol that they shouldnt because we're thinning out the herd. The vote count is even less than this year and once Sanjaya goes bye-bye, he becomes a footnote.
Chico: That's right, but that's not going to stop whatshisface saying he had a hand in it.
Gordon: Nikki, Joshua, Jasmine, Scott, Kevin, Sanjaya.

Gordon: 40, Block: 50.

Chico: Jason, it's all you.
Jason: 6 if you please.

4 6 8

Chico: Okay, 6... Who am I... oooohhhh... Remaining two point cards out of play.

I was born in 1955 in Greenfield, MA. Aside from being the voice of Comedy Central in its early days, I am a known atheist and skeptic, and I shared some of my skeptic beliefs on a TV show for Showtime.

Jason: BUZZ
Gordon: DING!
Chico: Sparks flying. Block was first.
Jason: Penn Gillette.
Gordon: Actually, he spelt it wrong.
Jason: I did.
Gordon: Its Penn Jillette. Give me the points.
Chico: Got it. Before this turns into MyGames Fever.
Jason: LOL. I am not stripping my shirt thank you
Gordon: I am, if it will get me more points.
Chico: Okay, who's to blame for last week's ep being a little harder than most?
Jason: The production staff...after seeing that easy stack get $500K.
Gordon: (takes off shirt) I declare that the producers are the culprits! And I say that since they do not have a dopey call-in sponsor, they did not want to give out any more money! So I call to my brothers to go in and raid NBC for truth and justice! Who is with me??!!!?? ROOOOOOAAAARRRRRR!!!!!! (waves sword and twirls shirt)
Chico: Okay, no more 300 for you.
Gordon: its 003, not 300
Jason: Good god man...and I thought Chico was the one on drugs

Gordon: 55, Block: 55.

Gordon: That would be a tie.
Chico: That was the last question. Game over. So you wanted close. This is as close as you get.
Gordon: I accept a tie.
Chico: No time for a tiebreaker, so I guess you both win.
Jason: That's cool
Gordon: Yay!
Chico: No more allergy pills for me. Okay, Gordon, please go first and please hurry.
Gordon: Instead of whining about how Sanjaya is still in the competition, there is a very easy way to remedy this - vote. If you all vote for your favorite person, and if it isn't Sanjaya, then Sanjaya goes away. Honest.
Chico: Block?
Jason: Get Well Soon, Regis. You are an American Icon...and you changed a lot of lives...including my own. Stay healthy and strong.
Chico: Thanks guys. Break, then big finish.

(Brought to you by Claridryl, the allergy pill that works.... a little too well... *falls asleep*)

Gordon: Please don't work heavy machinery or recap game shows while taking this product.
Jason: Chico...Chico...Big Finish time~
Chico: I still have enough strength in me for one more act. And follow the directions on the bottle, or else it will be... the Big Finish. Okay, American Idol. Phil still good to leave?
Jason: I think so. Sanjaya stays one more week.
Gordon: I'll go against the grain and say Sanjaya - but if Phil does leave, then Sanjaya will be there for a few more weeks.
Chico: Okay, Grease crowns a winner. Does anyone care?
Jason: Nope, Not me.
Gordon: What's Grease?
Chico: It's the country in Europe whose capital is Athens =p
Jason: You sound like a perfect contestant for 5th grader.
Chico: Thanks. =p
Gordon: That's Greece. We saw $300,000 won on 5th grader, Do we get any bigger winners?
Chico: Nope.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Not for lack of trying, but these contestants.... goodness.
Gordon: Dancing With The Stars - Who leaves first?
Chico: Mullet boy.
Gordon: I'm going to say Heather Mills, since I don't think anyone will vote for her.
Jason: I'll say Leeza.
Gordon: It wouldn't surprise me if Leeza left.
Chico: This'll be interesting. Okay, time for any mail?
Gordon: We have a lot of mail this week
Chico: Who's first?
Gordon: Lets go back to last week, with a letter from Ben Wiles. Thanks, Ben!

Jason: LOL--now that's cool fan interactivity.
Chico: Talk about your six degrees.
Gordon: Next letter?
Chico: Next is from Eddie Timanus. Thanks, Eddie!
Jason: Hey Eddie!

Gordon: I don't disagree with that.
Chico: Me neither.
Jason: Neither do I.
Gordon: I think that $60,000 is a nice payday. The fact that Jamey also left with over $60,000 is a cool thing as well.

Gordon: Now THIS one I am going to disagree with. Rob and Amber did hurt themselves because of the Detour, but they were not only not in last, but there were two teams trailing them going into the Roadblock. As a matter of fact, they were in front of BOTH Uchenna and Joyce AND Charla and Mirna, and quite frankly, they would have beaten them in any other Roadblock instead of one based on pure luck. The reason why they are in that position was bad game play, BUT the reason why they got knocked out was a game that they lost on due to pure luck of the draw. And they got Robbed...again!
Chico: let it go, man
Gordon: Continue with the letter, please

Chico: Thanks, Eddie. we aim to please. Next?
Gordon: Last one - from Paul Bailey. In short, the Transatlantic Quiz is on April 14th. You can test your trivia skills against people all over the world. This is a precursor to the World Quizzing Championships, to be held in June 2. Go to www.transatlanticquiz.com to register.
