Episode 29.14 - Newsmakers and Gamechangers
April 23

Jason: Niiiice.
Chico: Welcome back to WLTI. Thanks for being a part of our week and allowing us to be a part of yours. And now we come to the part of the show that we'd usually get over with in act 1. That being the dispensing of results and karmic justice.
Gordon: And current events. In this case though, as we spent so much time on the first segment, we'll play catchup in a game. Are You IN or Are You OUt?
Gordon: We start with...

Kim, Final Tribal Council, Survivor

Chico: OUT. Her alliance is going to turn on her.
Jason: I agree. I am OUT. She will be out by 5 or 4
Gordon: IN. You can see it coming, but I think she'll find a way to keep herself in. However, if there's a counter, don't be surprised to see Sabrina lead it. She has allies with the last 2 guys, and now would be the key time for the minority women to pick them up and form a counter alliance
Jason: Someone I do see...and that's Troyzan. He is Russell like in his social idiocy now.
Gordon: Him and Tarzan make a great tweedledum-tweedledumber alliance. Next?
Chico: Next...

Phillip Phillips, Final 4, Idol

Gordon: IN. With Colton gone, he's the favorite to win the whole thing. And I'm glad I didn't pout a sushi dinner on it.
Jason: IN but by Default. Because I am sorry, Phil is the least deserving Final 4 competitor. I called him from Day 1. But he hasn't shown me JACK.
Chico: Agreed: IN. Right now, it's a fight between Skylar, Elise, and Hollie for the Adele-fan voting bloc.
Jason: Mark the Final Four now....Jessica, Joshua, Skylar and Phil.
Chico: And with all due respect for the people of Liverpool, UK.... Hollie's the NEXT to go.
Jason: And BTW..Colton was NOT a Chaos Boot.
Gordon: No he wasn't. He deserved to go. Think Constantine Maroulis
Chico: And to suggest otherwise would be admitting that you haven't been paying attention.
Gordon: Next...

Dancing With the Stars, Katherine Jenkins, Final 3

Chico: IN. Right now, a strong favorite. Despite being a relative unknown.
Gordon: OUT. There'll be one week she's not a judges favorite, and then she'll be a Chaos upset special. Even if she does get there, she's not going to win - here comes Donald Driver sneaking up the left hand sidelines.
Jason: I agree with...GORDON. She is NOT American. She doesn't have that "story" or Fanbase. OUT.
Chico: Neither was Helio. What else you got.
Gordon: Oh Chico, I disagree completely. Helio had a fanbase
Jason: A huge one.
Gordon: IRL is big and on ABC
Jason: He is IRL
Chico: No story, though. and to Jason's point, not American.
Gordon: Doesn't matter. Athletes and their fans vote, which is why Driver is going to win this season
Chico: Oh, I don't doubt that.
Gordon: And Urkel needs to be concerned
Chico: YEP. He'll have ONE week to plug Total Blackout. And that's it. Next...

Lindsey Pavao, Finals, The Voice

Gordon: Finals? IN Winning? OUT
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: I see Jermaine Paul edging out Juliet Simms
Chico: Because of the Javier factor?
Jason: Agreed. IN but not wining.
Gordon: Next one...

Amazing Race, Brandon and Rachel, Final 3

Chico: HELL NO.
Jason: HELL YES.
Chico: They'll flame out at the tail end before the finals. Other than that... yeah. OUT.
Jason: I disagree. They find a way. IN.
Gordon: I agree with both of you. I do think they will flame out on the last episode, BUT I think they also find a way to get there. IN
Chico: Alrighty. Finally...

The Substitute, MTV, a season 3 renewal.

Jason: IN. It's Cheap, It's Fun and Enjoyable.
Chico: Agreed. Season 2 has not disappointed yet, and Jon has learned to tone down the volume to a perfectly madcap level.
Gordon: IN. No reason why it shouldn't be renewed
Chico: Sounds good.
Gordon: And that ends the segment. Next up, we go robo-calling.
Chico: The weekly roundup continues with SayWHA? next!

(Brought to you by Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' New Years Ev...wait a sec. you mean that December 2012 is the end of the world and there'll be no New Year's Eve? Ah, screw it.)

Chico: Well played, Mayans. Well played.
Gordon: It's relevant and funny. Welcome back to the show.
Chico: It'll be even funnier if I wake up on December 22 and we're still here.
Gordon: Now we have some quotes. We'll see how many we can get right. It's time for Saywha? First up...

"I was heading towards the bathroom, and I proceeded to vomit, after I heard those numbers."

Gordon: $215,000 PYRAMESS
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: Meredith Vieira
Chico: Yes, sir.
Jason: Cause Matt Laure got $30M a year to stay at the Today show? WHA?
Chico: Yep And Meredith went on to say that he deserved every penny of that.
Gordon: Next one...

You know, I need to apologize. I wasn't myself last night and I get it, and I appreciate what you told me last night. I'll take that when I'm making a record and I'll choose songs...

Jason: BUZZER
Gordon: Jason?
Jason: I hope that's Colton Dixon
Chico: It is
Gordon: Yep. Lady Gaga? Really?
Chico: I've seen some really bad song choices, but that had to be the WORST.
Jason: No here was the problem. He and Phil have the same problem. He sings any song in the same way every week. Nothing was unique. It was BAD.
Gordon: and then he adds Earth Wind and Fire to it. He's not an R&B singer. He shouldn't be going anywhere near those songs.
Chico: Or if he does, he goes to something that was remade in the rock vein. And there are songs out there that have done so. So yeah, Colton, two bad choices. And Phillip benefits from both. Next...

"We really tried, but sometimes we feel guilty of tokenism. Oh, we have to wedge African-American chicks in there! We always want to cast for ethnic diversity, it’s just that for whatever reason, they don’t come forward. I wish they would."

Jason: BRING ME THE HEAD OF ANDREW FIRESTONE!
Chico: Jason?
Jason: That's your boy, Mike Fleiss.
Chico: That IS my boy Mike Fleiss. Am I the only one calling BS?
Jason: (opens up smartphone) Hello, BS?
Gordon: BS here. what's your problem?
Chico: Well played boys.
Gordon: :)
Chico: Yeah, you can wish in one hand and poop in the other and at the end of the day see what you're holding.
Jason: I am telling you, this is going to bite ABC and Mike Fleiss in the ***
Gordon: Next one...

"It's kind of weird being fired because I'm usually on the other end of the shoe there. I'm the guy that's doing the firing, but you know, I've experience being humble in my life quite a bit. So, there's nothing wrong with that."

Chico: BOOM!
Gordon: Chico?
Chico: Paul Teutul?
Gordon: Very good sir
Chico: Thank you.
Gordon: Paul, who I thought would be a favorite, is gone, because he didn't bring back the person who should have been fired. Who's your favorite left?
Chico: Would it be wrong of me to say Clay Aiken?
Jason: No...because he has been under the radar. Don't be surprised if Penn Jillette is in there too.
Gordon: He hasn't been the best per se, but he hasn't made any big errors. I could see Penn, Arsenio, Clay - and Lisa. I think everyone else is fodder.
Chico: Agreed. Next...

"Dr. Seuss or Dr. Dre: who wrote, 'With my triple sling jigger I sure felt much bigger'?"

Gordon: (SCREAM IF YOU KNOW THE GHOST FACE KILLAH ANSWER)
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: I'm guessing it was a Hip Hop Squares question. Which means it would be coming from the host, Mr. Peter Rosenberg
Chico: CORRECT! Now what's the answer? =p
Gordon: Believe it or not, I think its Dr. Seuss.
Chico: Correct. Circle gets the square.
Gordon: Whoo hoo!
Chico: So we've seen the show, we know what we're getting ourselves into... is this really going to be an event?
Jason: If they do it RIGHT...yes. And I am PRAYING they do.
Gordon: If they do it correctly, this is this generation's Remote Control
Jason: This is the biggest game show debut THIS YEAR.
Chico: I think this is gonna be hot. Remember Wild'n'Out? That caught fire early.
Jason: If you get the hip hop community behind this and not laughing at it...this is going to be on A WHILE.
Chico: Because if anyone knows about hip-hop amongst the three of us... It's J. Block.
Jason: Believe or not, I am a student.
Chico: I know.
Gordon: Last one...

"I'm totally pissed off. I feel like I'm completely alone now, but when I get pissed off, I get fired up and now I'm going to win every damn Immunity. I could give a crap about those people. This is not a team anymore. I'm no longer a team player."

Jason: BUZZ.
Gordon: Jason?
Jason: Thats TROYZAN
Gordon: It is. He's king of the...oh I don't know. What is he king of?
Jason: Himself.
Chico: But tell us how you REALLY feel?
Gordon: We'll talk more about him in the Speed Round. Right now, let's break
Chico: Break we must.

(Brought to you Clark Bar. As in the bar that is raised by anyone who wants to do what Dick Clark did. We'll miss you, old friend.)

Gordon: We will. And with that, we enter our Speed Round...NOW! Survivor: Any hope for Troyzan?
Chico: Nope.
Jason: None.
Gordon: Nada. Idol: ANy hope for Hollie?
Chico: Nope.
Jason: None.
Gordon: Zilch.
Chico: Biggest Loser. We have a free week. What happens?
Gordon: We see someone come back. I'll say Jeremy.
Chico: I'll go with that
Gordon: RuPauls Drag Race; Your finalists are Chad Michaels, Sharon Needles and Phi Phi O'Hara. Who you got?
Chico: Chad Michaels.
Gordon: I'll say Sharon Needles, just to disagree with you. any email?
Chico: No, but we have a tweet
Gordon: Ooh who's it from?
Chico: It's from @allnewtpir

@allnewtpir "My father worked on the crew of American Bandstand when it was filmed in Philly. The first game show I remember was $100KP."

”

Jason: Thats cool!
Gordon: Very cool. Thanks for the tweet!
Chico: And if you want to shoot us a tweet, we're at @wltiongsnn. Also follow us for the latest breaking stories throughout the day. And if you want to email us, mail us at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com
Gordon: That ends it for this show. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us today
Jason: Thank you.
Gordon: Next week: The beginning of May Sweeps and the end of Spring Shows. Should be a fun week.
Chico: Until then for Gordon and everyone at GSNN,... we'd usually say game over and spread the love here, but this week...I think we'll let the man take the mic.



Jason: (STANDING OVATION)
Chico: "Have a great weekend. For now, Dick Clark... So long."
