Episode 23.12 - The Former and the Current
March 29

Chico: Hey gang, I'm Chico Alexander, and I've heard it from Gordon Pepper...
Gordon: Yo.
Chico: ... who heard it from Jason Block....
Jason: Yo.
Chico: ... who heard it from a guy who stays around Alex Davis' mommanems.... that this was a big week.
Jason: You are NOT kidding.
Chico: All around.
Jason: Lots of things happened this week.
Gordon: Huuuuuuuge
Chico: Huger than Rod Blagojevich's hair. So let's get right into it. From somewhere in America, the Former and the Current edition of WLTI... is... ON!
Jason: YAY!
Gordon: Gordon Pepper here, along with special guest Mr. Jason Block.
Jason: Greetings. And we have A lot of stuff to talk about.
Chico: Let's not waste any time. First up... What comes to mind when I say... Monty.
Jason: The Full? LOL
Chico: Starting early with the jokes... Close, but no.
Jason: Seriously, the man, the legend. Mr. Monty Hall.
Gordon: When we're talking about let's Make a Deal, Jay, it's about getting into different clothing, not taking it off :P
Jason: Yeah yeah
Chico: Proving that 46 years after the first LMAD, he's still got it.
Gordon: He definitely still has it. As a reminder, how old is he now?
Jason: 88
Gordon: How old was Barker when he retired?
Chico: 83
Gordon: Now near the end of Barker's reign, we all were discussing how Bob lost a step throughout the show.
Chico: He had been losing a step for a while now. I'd say... five years before the end.
Jason: About, yes.
Gordon: What's impressive to me is that Hall, who would be 6 years older now than Barker was, didn't show any signs of losing a step, mentally. Maybe a little bit slower, physically with his speech, but not the game itself.
Jason: Exactly not.
Chico: Nope, In fact, he's a little cleverer than he was... a little more fox-like in cunning. Still a master at the game he helped make famous.
Gordon: He's always been like that. Of course what helps is that all 5 games that he did were direct takes of games that he did during the 1960's run of the show.
Jason: He was given one segment of the show to do his thing, with Wayne getting out of the way.
Chico: Can we run'em out?
Gordon: Sure can. Big Board Chico.

Chico: We're calling this one... "The Full Monty". Monday's Monty Deal was "Four Wallets". Three of the players and Monty took a wallet. At least ONE of them had $1, which would buy a trip to NZ.
Chico: Colene could take HER wallet or a digital camera. She rejects the sure thing and gets... $100, which was a lot of money in 1963. In 2010... not so much. James trades HIS wallet for the camera. He had the dollar. Marjorie trades for the camera... and misses out on Monty's dollar. Tuesday, Mary & Thomas get a bankroll. In it $1550. That bought them a Hyundai Accent. (It could've bought them a Kia Soul or, even worse, a Zonkmobile) Wednesday has the Cash Register. 15 cards, 13 have money. $1000 before a Zonk, and Randy & Chanelle can win a Hyundai Elantra. First card... Zonk. Monty makes them this deal, though; Double the cash, or if they find a Zonk, the car. Guess what they find...
Gordon: They find the second Zonk?
Chico: They find...The second...Zonk!
Jason: The crowd goes nuts!
Chico: Thursday, we play the classic Beat the Dealer. Gail goes to the final round against Monty for a Kia Forte. She is risking a living room for it. She draws 6. Monty draws 4. That's over $21,000 worth of ching right there. Finally on Friday, there are Four Keys. One of them opens a Toyota Yaris. Do Jessica & Kevin want to take a shot at a car or the bailout trip to Utah? They want to play for the car. They don't want a trip. They don't want $600. They want the car. They get... nothing. Their key doesn't fit. But they do get $200 for their trouble.
Jason: I have a few specific points about how well they executed this. #1. They gave Monty his own spotlight. Wayne got out of the way and let Monty be Monty. #2. The games were easy for Monty to remember and play. #3. Monty was AWESOME.
Chico: Yes, yes, and YES
Gordon: In other words, THAT'S how you treat a returning veteran host, Drew.
Chico: Suh-nap.
Gordon: I also liked how Wayne, instead of sitting on the sidelines, participated in the zonks with Jonathan (Ie. Wayne and Jonathan's used car lot).
Chico: That's how you do it.
Gordon: You can tell how much Wayne, Jonathan and Tiffany enjoy what they are doing.
Chico: I believe the passing of the torch is now official and cemented properly in the annals of game show history.
Jason: And also, a message to CBS. Rerun this week during the break between season 1 and Season 2.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: That would be a fun thing
Chico: Another fun thing on CBS...



Gordon: Well, we had a pair of morons, but not who you think. The first moron, though, is definitely a moron.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: That would be Tyson, who removed himself from the game by deviating from the plan. Here's the setup: The majority of 6 wanted to get rid of the Hidden Idol, which means split it between Russell and Parvati.
Chico: Correct.
Jason: Right.
Gordon: Russell, who is NOT part of the majority, told Tyson he's voting for Parvati. Tyson, in exit interviews, said he wanted to keep Russell around, so he decided to switch his vote from Russell to Paravti because he thought that Parvati would play the the idol. Well, he was right, which means his vote didn't count. What he WASN'T banking on was the minority of the 3 writing HIS name down.
Chico: For the record, Russell DID have the Idol, and he opted to pass it to Parvati.
Jason: That's nuts. Ballsy, but nuts.
Chico: So they outed the Idol... but Tyson did himself NO favors in deviating from the plan.
Gordon: In an obviously idiotic move, Tyson set the stage for his own departure. Should he have listened to strategy (which was actually the correct one, for once), then Russell is gone and the Parvati-Russell alliance is busted. Instead, Parvati and Russell are allowed to have another 3 days to regroup.
Chico: And now Rob's in danger of overplaying HIS hand in being out there.
Gordon: Keep in mind that Rob was a major target this week, but he won individual immunity. I think he's got massive problems.
Chico: You know you have problems when your tribe wants to throw a challenge just to get rid of you.
Gordon: If you think about it, you are now up on the other tribe 8-5. A merge is coming up soon. The leaders who used to be strength are now weakness.
Chico: Funny you should mention that.
Gordon: If I'm Russell, now's the time to get rid of Rob.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: You can't let him get to the other side.
Chico: Funny you should mention that, too.
Gordon: Shall we talk about the other side?
Chico: Let's.
Gordon: We go to the other side, where James gets booted because of his leg.
Chico: Candice gets the immunity bye, by the way.
Gordon: But James isn't the moron of the episode.
Jason: Who is?
Gordon: The moron, who now sees why he will not be long for the game after the merge, is JT.
Chico: Yep. JT's only as loyal as his options.
Gordon: A month ago, he could have eliminated James and been the center of a very strong alliance. Instead, he gets rid of Tom, which adds to the downwards spiral of the group.
Jason: Which is crazy
Gordon: We spoke a few weeks ago how this was a terrible move for JT. Now he gets to lie in the bed that he made.
Chico: Karma. Ain't it a bitch?
Jason: JT seems to have forgotten what to do
Gordon: Ironically, Colby, who is still the outsider looking in, would be the most likely to flip after a merge, and he could get some extra mileage.
Jason: Wouldn't shock me one bit.
Chico: Nope. So to recap... if the Villains were smart, they'd get rid of Rob.
Jason: Yes. And if the heroes were smart...JT would go.
Gordon: Right. And America is smart, which is why Paige Miles is gone.



Chico: The judges were 100% on point.
Jason: I thought so.
Chico: And America... same deal. Gordon, you're an expert on the human voice... Tell us all of what Paige did wrong.
Gordon: (Brings out a 500 page tome). You sure?
Chico: ...Or I can tell you in one word... EVERYTHING. There is not a single thing that Paige did last week that worked. Picked the wrong song. Picked the wrong version. Sang it awkwardly.
Gordon: It was a ghastly mess. Off pitch., Bad song selection. No energy.
Chico: Wasn't on pitch. Paige just checked out.
Gordon: After the performance was over, without even hearing the judges, I texted to a bunch of people 'Bye, Paige'.
Chico: And I got it.
Jason: You texted that to me too.
Chico: You know you did a bad job when Simon's first words are "How do you think you did?"
Gordon: Any time you hear 'How did you think you did' from any of the judges, it usually spells trouble.
Jason: She sang herself out of the tour, because if she sang well, it was bye Tim.
Chico: Yep. No tour, no tour money.
Gordon: By the way, I'll text you right now, who's leaving this week without having to hear a single performance.
Chico: Gordon's texting us right now. Though he could easily PM us. =p
Jason: yeah

Bye, Tim

Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: If America knows you're in trouble Week #1 when you're in 3rd to last, then puts you in second to last the next week, you have issues.
Chico: The theme next week... R&B/Soul mentored by Usher. Oh, did we mention that his new album drops next week? Raymond v. Raymond? And frankly, a person wiser than I once said, if it happens twice, it'll happen three times.
Jason: Tim is not soulful.
Gordon: I don't expect him to do well on R&B week. So now, who will join him? Let's once again, take Michael, Casey, Siobhan and Crystal out of the mix. Even if they screw up R&B week, they have too much fan base to be in serious danger. That leaves Didi, Andrew, Aaron, Katie, and Lee. I think Katie, unlike Paige, WILL get a boost from being in the bottom this week, so she will be safe.
Gordon: I think Paige's vote will go to Michael and Katie. That leaves us 4 singers competing for 2 slots which they don't want. I think the performances will give us the bottom 2 from those 4, but my leaders for the 2 slots will be Didi and Andrew, since neither of them have done anything in the past month, and some can argue that neither of them have done anything memorable in the Top 24..
Jason: But even so, Tim is the favorite to go
Chico: Unless someone REALLY mucks it up. Which, given this crop, is a very real possibility. Because as I've said before... this is the WORST. SEASON. EVER.
Gordon: Yes, yes and jury is still out on Worst Season ever until the halfway mark for me. But they are certainly building up a good case for being called that.
Chico: Two weeks, G.
Gordon: 2 weeks.
Jason: 2 weeks?
Gordon: 7 weeks from Top 24 to Top 8. 7 Weeks from Top 8 to Finale
Jason: Ah ok
Gordon: And the funny thing is, I can't blame the casting coordinators or judges on this one. Because a lot of these singers sounded very very good during Hollywood Week. I don't think anyone would have expected a lot of these singers to fold like an accordion once the bright lights went on.
Chico: Then... here comes the pressure... PRESSURE!
Gordon: Chico is 100% right.
Chico: Yay.
Gordon: You know, during the years, people have cried foul on the process and accusing Idol of taking people with experience in the industry instead of 'real amateur talent'. Well, this is what happens when you get, for the most part, real amateur talent and put them on stage. Happy?
Chico: I know I am. Keeps me in the zone for the rest of the season.
Gordon: The Twilight Zone?
Chico: Yep. Heh. How about the Dancing Zone? America's favorite Dancing Show period returns for its landmark 10th season.
Jason: With MONSTER ratings to boot.
Chico: Yep. And you put together 11 dancers with 11 "stars"... you get some big numbers. Let's go over the scoreboard.
Gordon: Big Board?
Chico: Big board.

Chico: It's Dancing with Morons... week 1. The dancer to beat... not surprisingly Nicole & Derek with 25 (two 9s and a 7)
Gordon: Hey look! My favorite to win is in first. Shocking.
Chico: What's really shocking was that it was with a Viennese waltz. Not exactly what we've seen from Nicole.
Gordon: I agree. You don't expect to see that gracefulness from her on that sort of move. If that's her weak dance, then the rest of the field is in deep trouble early.
Chico: And speaking of deep trouble... At the bottom, Buzz Aldrin & Ashly Costa. She's rusty. He's old. Two 5s and a 4 for their Cha-cha-cha. Nuff said.
Jason: Do you think they will get the sympathy vote.
Gordon: Honestly here, did you expect anything else than this?
Chico: Nope. This is very much how we pictured it. Second from the bottom are Aiden Who? & Edyta. They had 15.
Gordon: I think Aiden Who? could very well be the first one gone.
Chico: Wouldn't surprise me. After all... Buzz Aldrin is an American hero who has the hearts of Dancing's rapidly aging audience. Aiden Turner is.... that guy from that thing.
Jason: All My Children
Chico: And one more thing. If you watched the show, you were in good company... 24,185,000 joined you.
Gordon: That's a record high for the premiere of any season.
Chico: And it shatters all records for ABC Monday. That's what you call a phenomenon.
Gordon: Which means...good job, casting coordinators.
Jason: I am not shocked, mind you.
Gordon: Any shot of Jeff and Jordan being the next couple on Dancing with the Stars?
Chico: Nope. Because they can't dance and they're not stars. :-)



Chico: Let's go to France!
Jason: This was a Franco-philes dream. And a free commercial for Tattinger Champagne. And lots and lots of wine. And Joan of Arc...
Gordon: Who apparently was responsible for leading the animals away from the flood. Wha?
Jason: That's Noah's Ark.
Chico: Who the hell said that?
Jason: Caite
Chico: So it was local Mensa president Caite then?
Gordon: If there was not a clear winner this week for Are You Smarter than, then Caite would be your winner here.
Chico: Did we mention that she and fellow rocket scientist Brent botched the Tower Detour?
Jason: Yeah.
Chico: So instead of third, they end up in 6th. This would be their third such infraction. Seriously, folks... where do you get these people.?
Jason: The Iraq :-)
Chico: Heh. So ... does this mean Jeff & Jordan AREN'T the morons on the run this week?
Gordon: Oh no. They are, because despite all these issues, they take an hour and a half to get lost, which causes them to be last and out.
Chico: But that's not nearly as entertaining =p
Gordon: Entertaining? No, but hey, they are morons.
Chico: Okay, and that leads us to a visit from...



Jason: AH!
Gordon: Can we send Augustus after Jeff and Jordan?
Chico: He'd leave hungry. Zombies eat brains.
Gordon: ...Yeah, you're right. So what's the occasion?
Chico: Now normally Augustus would behave himself until Brainvision, but today he's visiting us for a very special, very somber moment... the final Solitary.
Jason: Awwwwwww
Chico: Now rewind to episode 3 where #3 Kelsey Thorn wanted to quit. She just didn't have it in her. She had it in her last week. She's the last person to exit Solitary and the first woman to win the whole thing.
Jason: Sweet.
Gordon: She did it, ironically, on a word game final challenge. It's called 'Wheel of Misfortune', and contestants have to guess words, hang-man style. The loser has to do bonus laps on a hamster wheel.
Fluffy The WLTI BrainVision Hamster: *squeaks*
Chico: Not yet. Continue, G.
Gordon: Kelsey won the Test, which gave her a few free passes from the penalty should she need them. It turns out that she doesn't - she gets words early and often, which continuously put Rommel on the wheel. Eventually, Rommel's legs fell off, and quickly (compared to the other final challenges), so Kelsey wins $50,000.



Gordon: Now as for the other Wheel of Fortune...let's just say that we had a nice week. Jason?
Jason: Remember last week when we gave away over $347,000 in prizes and cash?
Chico: Yeah.
Jason: Including a $100,000 winner?
Chico: Yeah.
Jason: This week....shattered that. We had another $100,000 win and a total of $407,600 in cash and trips to Sandals and Beaches!
Gordon: Nice. what was the winning puzzle, sir?
Jason: On Tuesday...Mary-Anne and Michael Dixon had this to deal with: They are dealing with PHRASE. With the RSTLNE and their choices of M H C O we have:

_ E E _ / _ O _ R / R E C E _ _ T

Jason: Guesses?
Chico: KEEP YOUR RECEIPT
Jason: That's right. They hit the $100,000 and in a very cute touch, Pat makes them sweep up the confetti afterward. That's what happens when you have two of these in a fortnight.
Jason: This was the 2nd highest week in the history of Wheel behind the Michele Lowenstein Million Dollar Week. Helps when you are giving two trips per prize worth $15,000 a pop.
Gordon: Meanwhile, the hamsters have asked me to assk Fox Reality if they can give us the hamster wheels if they are done using them.
Fluffy: *squeak*
Chico: ... that means "Please".
Gordon: Was that fluffy?
Chico: Yes it was. She chirped in earlier in the Solitary piece. =p
Gordon: I'll see what they say. Meanwhile, roll that beautiful brain footage.

(Doug: Live, local, and latebreaking... From the four corners of the globe to your frontal lobe, this is WLTI Brainvision News, and now here's Gordon Pepper, Chico Alexander, and the award-winning Brainvision News Team)

Chico: Thank you, Doug. First up. We need a bat with a hobo bag attached to it.
Gordon: (Gives Chico the bat)
Chico: Because we're moving.

Family Feud is packing up and heading east for season 12. The Steve Harvey-hosted game will shoot from Universal Orlando starting July.

Gordon: it looks like a cost-cutting move.
Jason: Hopefully not too many jobs would be lost.
Gordon: What else looks like a cost-cutting move: The rumor that the Bulls-eye round has been scrapped.
Chico: You heard things?
Gordon: I hear things all the time.
Chico: Yeah, they have pills for that :-)
Gordon: In this case, it was at an audition where the max prize is $100,000, which means that there's no opportunity for $30,000 an episode. So either the people who reported that are wrong (which could be true) or FF is going on the cheap.
Chico: As always, we'll keep you posted.
Gordon: Which could also now be a reason to see O'Hurley leave, especially if he was told he was going to get a pay cut. Allegedly.
Jason: All makes sense.
Gordon: Of course, I'll add 'THIS IS ALL CONJECTURE'
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: We have more moving news.
Chico: More moving?
Gordon: More moving
Chico: I better back a truck up then.

Minute to Win It gets additional episodes on Wednesday, replacing struggling Mercy.

Chico: Mostly reruns.
Gordon: It's not a Zombie for Minute to Win it, because they are staying in their time slot.
Chico: But there's going to be a new episode on April 7, and a rerun on April 11.
Chico: So basically the network is giving a feel-out to the show.
Gordon: Right, to test out the ratings. If it scores better than Mercy, then Mercy could be in deep trouble.
Chico: Not a full vote of confidence, but a feel-around. Greenlight me.
Gordon: Greenlighting you.

CBS has greenlit its own dancing series, "Got To Dance"... no date on it yet.

Chico: Next light...

Fox has a date for Masterchef... July 29

Chico: It also has judges to join host Gordon Ramsay, such as Restauranteur Joe Bastianich and chef Graham Elliot Bowles.
Gordon: SoYouThinkYouCanCookTopHell'sKitchenILikePotatoes RecycledCloneCookingshow?
Jason: ROFL
Chico: Breathe, dude.
Gordon: Just saying...
Chico: Graham Elliot Bowles, it should be noted... LOST in Kitchen Stadium America.
Jason: Right.
Gordon: I'm guessing we won't hear that credential in the opening credit crawl of the show.
Chico: No. It's my job to know these things :-)
Gordon: And it's my job to have a Date Book.

This week: It's the Ultimate Fighter: Team Liddell Vs. Team Ortiz on March 31st. We also have Dancing with the Stars week on Millionaire.

Jason: Hell yes, on the TUF
Chico: Yes, yes, oh GOD YES!

April 4th gives us Sunday Best, season 3. Season 1 gave us Jermaine Sellers for this season, so tune in to see what overdramatic failed gospeller will be seeing Ryan Seacrest next season, or what failed Idoler shows up on Sunday Best.

Chico: Ba Dum bum.
Gordon: Or Vice versa.
Chico: Oh, and nothing happens on April 1 on TPIR. That we know of. :-)
Jason: There was a preview of it on Friday. The concept: Mimi takes over as Executive Producer :-) with Male Models...and not the hot ones
Gordon: That should be fun, and then we'll all get fully loaded after watching it.
Chico: I know I will :-)
Jason: HIC

Today, it's the first digital manifestation of the Idol Effect. Top 12 sang the songs of the Rolling Stones. The next week... digital sales of "Hot Rocks" increased 116% over last week. Overall sales of the Stones catalogue online rose over 73%.

Jason: There you go.
Chico: The biggest gainer... "Play with Fire". That was lifted 739 percent Just goes to show you that the Rolling Stones will outlive us all.
Gordon: Wasn't the biggest gainer sung by Didi Benami?
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: Didi may have a bigger fan base then we think. Think about it.
Chico: I am thinking about it. Tim's still going home, but I'm thinking about it.
Gordon: If she has ther Brooke White crowd, Didi is going to be here for a while.
Jason: Yeah.
Gordon: Meanwhile, we have people who haven't been thinking about much of anything.

Are YOU Smarter than David 'Puck' Rainey, who is now in the hospital after him and his kid get into an accident featuring a deer, an alleged excessively driven way too fast car, and an alleged amount of alcohol way over the allowable limit. Puck, who was in season 3 of The Real World and a contestant in The Weakest Link and Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Sexes, also allegedly didn't have something he may have wanted: a Driver's License, as he is being accused of driving without one.

Chico: Oh dear.
Jason: YIpe. Double Yipe.
Chico: That's bad, yo
Gordon: But just because this is always fun...

Are YOU Smarter than...Jesse James, who has a case of Tiger Woodsism. We now have 3 more women coming out of the woodwork to say that they had relations to him while he was married to Sandra Bullock (bringing the total up to 4). I say was because according to the tabloids, Sandra is currently talking to a divorce lawyer.

Chico: The Best Actress Curse continues
Jason: And honestly...yuck Tattoos are SO not my thing.
Chico: Hey Sandra... Meet Gordon Pepper :-)
Gordon: I'm available.
Gordon: Who wants some Haterade?
Jason: I do. (puts down cup)
Gordon: Sandra, you date me, you get a free supply of it. We've got a lot this week. First cup...

Bachelor News! According to Jake Pavelka's ex, Jake went on the show to collect the $500,000 pay day to pay bills and then tried to get his ex ON the show as a suitor.

Chico: This is according to the ex, by the way.
Jason: Sleaze City.
Chico: So... take this for what you will, I wouldn't be surprised either way
Gordon: Nope. Who wants more?
Chico: ME!
Jason: I do!
Gordon: Let's go to Let's Make a Deal.

Wayne tells contestant Nikia that something weighing 1,000 pounds is behind Curtain #2. Nikia's response: 'My mom?'

Jason: OUCH!
Chico: WHAT?!

We're not done yet, Nikia turns down $600 to get what's there, and she gets 1,000 pounds of moldy oranges. Which she can share with her mom. I hear oranges are a great way to lose weight.

Chico: Ew.
Jason: Ewwwww
Chico: Ha... Actually, if you really want to lose weight...pomegranates.

Continuing with Let's Make a Deal this week, we go to Kenneth, who on the advice of his wife, gives back $4,335 worth of stuff for the curtain. Behind the Curtain: an appropriately oversized giant doghouse, which Wayne escorts both Kenneth and wife to.

Gordon: Who wants more?
Jason: I do! MORE! MORE! This is tasty.
Chico: Dude! I don't think I can take much more!
Gordon: Yes you can.
Gordon: Especially if it's him...



Jason: Awwww....ewwwww

Kim Kardashian (Celebrity Apprentice) and Reggie Bush are 'Taking a Step Back' because Reggie can't handle Kim's hours. In other words, trouble with incompatibility issues.

Chico: They broke up.
Gordon: Looks like it.
Jason: Supposedly Reggie was scoring in a different stadium
Chico: In layman's terms
Jason: Yeah.
Gordon: Who's up for one last round?
Jason: Give....me...more.

The Bachelor has been destroying the opposition. And because of that, combined with the fact that 24 is the most expensive show on tv to produce, Jack Bauer is now facing a foreign enemy that he will not be able to defeat.

Chico: Cancellation.



Gordon: How does it feel that your faaaaavorite show in the whole wide world did what no foreign terrorist could do?
Chico: I feel sad.
Gordon: Do you need to go traveling now?
Chico: Yes I do. Let's go to the UK.
Jason: One of my favorite places.

In a case of "You Can't Make This (^_^) Up" we had a classic moment on "Countdown" this week as they celebrated show #5000.

Jason: ROFL I read about this :-)
Gordon: Im guessing you got a photo.
Chico: I have a photo.
Gordon: Show and tell, Chico



Chico: The letters... A U O D F C K E G. (Stelling) And what can I say except... here's the clock. (/Stelling) (hums the Countdown theme) Jason, what are you playing?
Jason: I have 6
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: I have 7, too
Chico: I'm almost afraid, but Jason, declare your 6.
Jason: Do I have to bleep it? :-)
Gordon: JASON!
Jason: Sorry.
Gordon: Pottymouth
Chico: ... okay. Jason Elliot's going to cancel us again. Gordon, declare your 7.
Gordon: Dockage
Chico: Dockage is legal, Gordon has 7.
Gordon: What do I win?
Chico: A couch!
Gordon: Whoo hoo!
Chico: It's big, it's red, it's powered by Reality Wanted.

They are casting for a show that looks similairly to Mark Burnett's new Trust me, Im a game show host.

Jason: Very similar
Chico: Eerily so.

If you want in, go here: http://www.realitywanted.com/call/6996-new-game-show-now-casting

Gordon: And now, for some hoes.
Chico: (plays "Countdown Theme")

In this week's Media Ho Report, Tamyra Gray (American Idol) gets pregnant, Simon Cowell accepts an international Emmy, Hollywood Square Robert Culp passes, as does Ira Skutch, longtime Producer for Goodson/Todman....

*Silence*

Chico: Thank you.

Paige Miles is upset because she couldn't compete for the judges Save (but we the general audience aren't), Paula Abdul may (or may not) be a judge on CBS's new dance show, and Kara Dioguardi admits that posing with Bikini Babe on last season's finale probably saves her job.

Gordon: But none of them are the hoes of the week. Your co-hoes are Wink Martindale, Peter Marshall and Monty Hall.
Chico: All of whom will be on a Game Show Kings Newlywed Game with Bob hosting again.
Gordon: Exactly.
Chico: Look for that in season 3 later this year.
Gordon: Should be a very fun show. Wink and Monty and Bob are all on TV again, When do we get to see Peter Marshall host a segment?
Chico: We did. It was a season 5 H2. We loved it.
Gordon: Which was years ago. I'm talking CURRENT.
Chico: Yeah...
Gordon: And those...are your hoes.
Chico: And that's Brainvision. Shut it down.
Gordon: (Shutting Down)
Chico: Still to come, we play with numbers... but first, we go island hopping.
Gordon: We decides who's good for our island. You're reading WLTI. You give us 22 minutes, and we'll give you 22 game show hosts currently not on the air but who we'd like to see back.

(BrainVision has been brought to you by MasterBaiter. We all know about MasterChef, but we rely on these fisherman to bring us the arctic char and tilapia that you see on these shows. Who's just playing with worms and who's the MasterBaiter?)
