Episode 17.15
April 14
Jason: BTW...kick ass song.
Chico: I thought they were singing about Ultraman myself Then I remembered
that the time limit was 3 minutes, not four.
Gordon: There you go. Anyways, we have made fun of a lot of things. Now we
see how bad they really are.
Chico: Time for 15 Shades of Wrong?
Jason: Sounds cool.
Gordon: We start with...

The Rock of Love...the House of Hate. Brett Michaels and the TV Production
company are being sued for the $380,000 worth of damage inflicted onto his 9
million dollar mansion they used to shoot the show. |

Jason: When you rent a 9M house...you have to keep it clean...about a 7.
Chico: It's a rock star's life. You knew it when you signed on. 6.
Gordon: Yes, but the rocker should know better. 7.
Jason: This will be settled and everyone will go home happy.
Chico: Oh yeah.. the Wrong-o-meter scores it... 7.
Gordon: Good. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

Groomer Has It... Think of it as "Shear Genius"... for dog groomers. |
5

Jason: Ok...I HATE this concept...but people will love it...in a weird
way....7 again for me.
Gordon: I also hate the concept...but I also hate dogs. Other people like
dogs, so Im grading this based on them. 4.
Chico: This attracts the audience of Puppy Bowls. There, JD. I said it :-) 3.
That would be our friend Mr. Hernandez. That would average out to a... 5. Not
too wrong.
Jason: Next.
Gordon: What about this one...
 |
Anyone want to see two work offices competing against each other in
a singing
battle? |
11
||||||||||| |
Gordon: That's what Joey Fatone, Melanie Brown and TLC bring us soon.
Jason: Ok...this is way wrong. Cheese-tastic. 10 for me.
Chico: The Singing Office.
Jason: Yeah that. Yuck.
Chico: Some shows should not have babies. Singing Bee and "The Office" chief
among them. 12. Unless it's "The Office Office", forget about it.
Gordon: Y.U.C.K. Crash and Burn. 11. We get an average of 11. Pretty wrong.
Next one?
Chico: Next up..
 |
Hey Contender! You've been cancelled! AGAIN! |
7
||||||| |
Jason: Honestly...pretty wrong for me. ESPN should have kept it. 9.
Chico: ESPN Classic anyone? That's where all good sports games go to die. 11.
Gordon: Not too wrong. I didn't like the show. Too schmaltzy and not enough
payout. It's a good show, but it wasn't a must keep. Sorry. 2.
Chico: That knocks it down to...7. Not as wrong as it could be. But still...
a little wrong. Maybe on ESPN's part, I don't know.
Gordon: Now if it replaces The Contender with Schwab Season 5, than we get a
14.
Jason: LOL
Chico: Yeah. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

George Takei. Singing. |
11
||||||||||| |
Gordon: Lowlight of the week. I'm only saving some cushion
because I know
Chico probably has something worse. 13.
Chico: I've heard worse. 11
Jason: Honestly...not as wrong as you think. 10. He can act and has done
theater.
Gordon: We're not talking about his acting. We're talking about his singing.
Jason: He has done musical theater. But it's pretty bad.
Gordon: I'm guessing he played the usher. Or maybe the custodian who cleans
up the theater after the guests leave.
Jason: (rimshot)
Chico: 11 the average there.

DOMENICO NESCI! THAT'S AMORE! |
15
||||||||||||||| |
Gordon: I knew Chico had worse. 15.
Chico: I was going to put that Idol recycled the Next Great American Band
stage for Idol Gives Back, but Gordon wanted worse so..
Jason: You mean the Italian guy in the Speedo?
Gordon: The most annoying character on television.
Chico: Yeah
Jason: Yup. 15.
Chico: Only a hair more annoying than Ross the Intern 15.
Gordon: And I say character, because that can't POSSIBLY be him in real life
when the cameras are off.
Chico: But if it were... whoa.
(BOOM)
Chico: Okay, we broke the Wrong-o-Meter. While we go get it fixed, watch
this, please.
(Brought to you by Ruins of Love. We bring 15 people, trap
them on a pyramid and send the plant thing from The Ruins to eat them all.
Castaways include Domenico Nesci, Ross the Intern, Omarosa, and the annoying guy
who tells us how much the lottery is every week.)
Chico: Coming soon to My Network TV... They'll put on anything.
Jason: Add Billy Mays and you have a show.
(Done. Billy Mays added to the roster.)
Chico: Even better! Thanks, Mr. Commercial!
(Don't mention it)
Chico: Okay, let's go the Big Finish! Michael Johns out. Who does this help?
Who does this hurt?
Jason: Helps Archuleta, Brooke White, and David Cook. Hurts Smithson big
time.
Chico: It helps all the rockers. It hurts Kristy Lee Cook who now has to
perform... for realsies.
Gordon: People will have to vote now - and we'll see who is going. Since
people will be voting for their favorites, it's curtains for Carly.
Chico: Survivor. Who follow Eliza?
Gordon: Unless he wins immunity, Jason.
Chico: Deborah Fitzgerald lasted four days.. how long does she last in the
ToC?
Jason: not very far
Gordon: I agree. She had a lot of luck to get there for 4 days.
Chico: No joke.
Gordon: DWTS: whos next to go?
Chico: Marissa?
Jason: Yeah.
Chico: The soup curse.
Gordon: NO soup for you. But we have mail
Chico: We do. First up, Daniel Benfield... part 2!
Gordon: Yay!

4) Staying on Deal Or No Deal (something I rarely do)...that one lady who SAID
she had the Million - and DID have the Million - sold it. My thing is, if she
KNEW the Million was in her Case then WHY did she sell it? If I were host I
would've asked that - and the answer would likely be 'I was Needy!' (sigh...)
Yeah, well, I'm Needy, too...but I'd play through the end if I still had the
Million and another 'life-changing sum of money' on the board. Heck, even the
contestant searches say 'We want people with personality, not those who are
shy/etc.' and my favorite - 'Leave the gimmicks and costumes at home.' Yes,
because we'll be supplying those. You know, every single modern-day show in the
GSWorld has given away the top prize - Identity gave it away during the Premiere
Week; 1 vs. 100 gave it away on their Season Premiere; Duel gave away over 1.6
Million at the end of their Tournament; The Price is Right gave away the Million
THREE TIMES and they're STILL churning out specials! Heck, even Deal Or No
Deal's foreign counterparts have given away the big prize - UK gave it away once
and Australia gave it away at least TWICE! ...But here, with three years past?
None.
|
Chico: People who go on Deal or No Deal are chosen for their outgoing
personalities.. not for the way they play the game. Let's get that out of the
way right now. A cheerleader has a better chance of going on DOND than a
statistician. Unless that statistician also happens to be a cheerleader. You get
what we're trying to say here, Dan?
Jason: I agree Chico.
Chico: Moving on..

5) Other than Joe 'The Game Show Man' Van Ginkel (Crosswords), Gordon Pepper
(What's My Line? Live On Stage - good job stumping the panel BTW), and Jason
Block (Wheel Of Fortune, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire), who else of the WLTI
staff and guests (Mike Klauss, Doug Morris, 'Stat-Boy' Jason, Don 'Donut'
Harpwood, etc.) have been on game shows - and when?
|
Chico: Okay... Mike and I were web contestants on the short-lived Fox Family
game show Paranoia. Ryan Vickers... name a Canadian game show of note... he was
probably on it.
Jason: Aaron Huertas was on the Price is Right. James Dinan was on
Millionaire and Two Minute Drill
Gordon: Well fine. Don't talk about the fact that I did writing for a few game
shows then :P.
Chico: Gordon writes for a little game show web site called PlayCafe.
Gordon: And other shows.
Chico: Tom Gauer was on... Caesars Challenge. Underrated gem, that. I'm still
looking for televised face time... Come on, TV... I'm sexy! And bald!
Jason: Absolutely.
Chico: Okay, let's finish up his letter next week. One more letter, I think
we have time for, G.
Gordon: Ok. I got a letter from... Jason 'Stat Boy' Wuthrich!
Chico: Yay!
Jason: Cool.
To: WLTI
From: Jason Wuthrich
Talking about Pink's, if you guys ever do go there, try their chili dogs. It
was featured in the pilot episode of "Out of Control", where Dave Coulier called
it the world's best. And G, after that e-mail from [identity withheld] last
week, my spam doubled. No home game!
|
Jason: LOL
Gordon: Well Jason, I figured you needed the spotlight a little.
Chico: Pink's is west coast isn't it?
Gordon: It is. CA, baby.
Chico: Yeah, we're going to be out there soon. We watch game show, we eat
Pink's, we go casino. It's all fun.
Gordon: In a few months, actually. So maybe we'll meet Jason there. If you
want to meet us there and email a schedule, what should they do, Chico?
Chico: Drop us a line, of course, wlti@gameshownewsnet.com, or if you're on
the 'space, go to myspace.com/wltiongsnn and add us as a friend.
Gordon: we like friends.
Jason: And we want to hear from you. Been fun as always.
Gordon: Special thanks to Jason Block for showing up
Jason: Absolutely.
Chico: Until next week, He's Gordon Pepper, I'm Chico Alexander. The show is
WLTI... And this is my Phil Hellmuth impersonator..
Gordon: I would say spread the love...but that's not Helmuthian-like.
Chico: "What? Show's over? MAN, this is BULL(^_^)!"
Gordon: Ah. That's better.
