Episode 26.15 - I Do What the Voices Tell Me
May 2

Chico: or afterwards.
Gordon: You know, there cheerleaders can get gigs with Tyra, or Project Runway,, etc.
Chico: You think so?
Gordon: Sure do. Can someone with any brains in Congress end the lockout already?
Chico: It was over for like three days. I'm this close to just saying "WHAT DO WE WANT"! "FOOTBALL!" WHEN DO WE WANT IT? "SOON!"
Gordon: What do I want? A Game! When do I want it? NOW!
Chico: How about Pick Your Poison?
Gordon: I like it.
Chico: Then start it, please
Gordon: I'll start it.

What do you prefer...Singing in front of judges for a 5 million dollar contract on The X-Factor...or singing on the Voice for much less money, but a better chance of making it to the show?

Chico: The Voice.
Gordon: Giving up 4.9 mil?
Chico: I'm a serious vocalist, I'm going to take on a serious challenge.
Gordon: I'd actually agree with you. I'm not a 20 something kid, so I have no chance on Idol, but with a back story, you never know on The Voice.
Chico: I'm also not a 20 something kid... any more. But I have a story and a few friends who're willing to corroborate. :)
Gordon: Very true, boxer short boy
Chico: Next one...

No car but a chance on the Cash Cab... or car not paid for, with a chance to make it so on Repo Games.

Gordon: If you look at it, if I get 3 wrong on either show, I'm out.
Chico: Right.
Gordon: However, I only need to get 3 right on Repo Games, Vs. 15+ questions on the Cab. And the questions are a lot easier on Repo Games. So believe it or not, give me Repo Games and a new car.
Chico: Good job. I'm about to go into the cab. a) my car is paid for. b) I like Ben Bailey.
Gordon: Mine is too, but from a game standpoint, if I owe a lot on my car, what good is $1,500-$3,000 when I can win $7,000 and pay off my car?
Chico: Valid point, but where's the challenge?
Gordon: Challenge? Who cares about a challenge?
Chico: I do.
Gordon: The challenge is to not hold my tongue form laughing,.
Chico: Good luck with that.
Gordon: Granted, I don't ever want to be in that position, but if I am, and I want money, I go for a repo ride. Next one,...

Get a second chance via Redemption Island or a second chance via the judges save?

Chico: Redemption Island. Because seriously... can't take a judge who won't judge seriously anymore.
Gordon: First of all, I have no chance winning on either show if I need a second chance. However, I can still further my career and maybe get a better record deal if I last another few weeks, vs. getting Pagonged out once I'm eligible to return. So I'll take the Judges Save
Chico: Yeah, you take that judges save, Stefano. See if I buy your record Mr. Stefano 'I Never Wanted to Win Idol'.
Gordon: That's Casey, thanks you, but about that. Bitter, table of one, please. Next one?
Chico: Next..

American Idol Wendy's Meals or Amazing Race Snapple?

Gordon: Snapple. I'm looking to sound like Casey, not look like him.
Chico: But you ARE rocking the sexy scruffy, though. Just don't growl, and we'll be cool. I'm going with Snapple as well.. I'm more of a panini/submarine guy.
Gordon: Casey's a bit of a chub
Chico: Yes he is. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Patron for 24 Hour Restaurant Battle or Patron for Top Chef's Restaurant Wars?

Chico: I don't know about you, but I can't really stomach the idea of food poisoning... or Gordon Pepper sloppy seconds. :)
Gordon: Dont bust on the fact that I got a SPEAKING role as a patron on 24 Hour Restaurant Battle.
Chico: And that's where you're going to get your SAG card from :)
Gordon: Now you know on 24 Hour Restarant Battle, the chefs are in their element, and the food is bound to be good. HOWEVER, on Top Chef Restaurant Wars, it's been a mixed bag, In fact, it's been redone because the food on both sides has been awful. So if Im an eater, I'll go for the sure thing and 24 Hour Restrurant Battle.
Chico: Alright, but Marcus Samuelsson took a chicken back once.
Gordon: The new season debuted last week.
Chico: Finally...

The Cube or Reflex?

Gordon: Nipple Clamps attached to my temples.
Chico: Heh. The Cube is ... the Cube. Reflex is literally a test of reflex.
Gordon: Seriously, I'm a drummer growing up, Reflex should be right up my alley.
Chico: There you go.
Gordon: And you?
Chico: Cube. I have a thing about reflexes... I'm... not really that good. Or at least as good as you are on the drums. You KILL the drums.
Gordon: I would wipe the floor with you.
Chico: Tell you what, you get the drums, I'll get my guitar and the Rock Band and see how high we can get the score up. Meanwhile, you take a break and we'll come back with a list.
Gordon: Listing up possible breaks...now.

(Brought to you by "The Voices". Judging a singer by their voice... Good. Judging a singer by the entire package... better... Judging a singer on how bat-guano insane they are... PRICELESS)

Gordon: What about judging Gary Busey?
Chico: He'd WIN THAT. All he needs is a watermelon on his head.
Gordon: I'd lay even money on that. While we ponder, lets abuse some lists. Chico?
Chico: Got it. First up...

Sick to my stomach...
Mentally, Physically, & emotionally challenging...
barely survived..
I wanted to die.
... state of terror.
... the sorrow poured out of me....

Gordon: Well, it's either you after watching Love Triangle...
Chico: true.
Gordon: or it's Kara Dioguardi describing her stay on American Idol.
Chico: Also true.
Gordon: So things Kara Dioguardi would say.
Chico: There you go. That's what she says about her time on Idol.
Gordon: And such a dumber set of comments to say right before your show on Bravo is about to air could never be said. I'm not feeling good things about a show who's judge bit the hand that fed her.
Chico: Her show's gonna bomb hard, isn't it?
Gordon: Better go buy her a new faucet, because the show is going to sink. Next one...

Reba McIntyre
Sia
Monica
Adam Blackstone

Chico: Vocal assistants on "the Voice"
Gordon: They will be, yes, joining the 4 judges already there.
Chico: That's a lot of voices.
Gordon: Will they help? Or just add to the voices in my head?
Chico: Good question. How about let's get to the develop the voices before throwing in more voices first.
Gordon: We'll see next week how good - or not so good - this is going to be. Keep in mind that these episodes are taped before-hand, so the eventual finalists will have more time to get this stuff down than played out on TV.
Chico: There you go. Next..

Yuuji Urushihara
Makoto Nagano
Kazuhiko Akiyama

Chico: ....that's the list.
Gordon: The only 3 people to complete Ninja Warrior?
Chico: Bingo.
Gordon: I am so smart
Chico: You are. We get season 26 this week... and... well, no one completes it.
Gordon: Aw. You SPOILED it for EVERYONE!
Chico: Not really. It's on right now. By the time this ep of WLTI airs, it'll have aired. But we do have six competitors for stage 3. The names are familiar: Paul Kasemir, Brent Steffensen, Brian Orosco, Yoshiyuki Okuyama, Lee Yen Chi, and Dave Campbell.
Gordon: Next one...

Anne Curry
Natalie Morales
Jim Bell

Chico: People currently on The Today Show?
Gordon: That's right.
Chico: Ah
Gordon: However, no Meredith Vieira. What does this mean for Millionaire?
Chico: I think it means more time for her on the show... but less of a paycheck coming in. I think she stays on Millionaire.
Gordon: I agree. Millionaire only tapes 4 months of the year while The Today show is year round.
Chico: Definitely more family time, and she needs that.
Gordon: And I'm sure she will get it. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

Dermot O'Leary
Joe Pasquale
Paul Ross

Gordon: UK Hosts that I hope never see the US shore?
Chico: ... Close. UK hosts hosting American games. Dermot O'Leary is the new host of "The Marriage Ref" overseas, Paul Ross on J!, Joe Pasquale on TPIR...Turns out after 10 years of importing, we're back to exporting our crap.
Gordon: Rather be an exporter than an importer of their shows. Wanna Bet anyone? What about the Money Drop, since that worked so well.
Chico: There you go. Next?
Gordon: Last one...

Love Triangle
Burt Luddin's Love Cafe
Ryan Leaf's Career
Chico Alexander and every relationship he's ever been in, especially with that chick from Arizona.

Chico: Things that are dead to me!

Sarah Palin's 2008 VP Bid

Chico: Things that are dead to EVERYONE!
Gordon: Things that fail.
Chico: Well, close...
Gordon: BTW, the Chick from Arizona sucks.
Chico: Yes she does. As for Love Triangle, I give it the 32 episodes and done. I've already declassified it on the site. What kind of game show is it, I ask?
Gordon: A Skanky one.
Chico: On that note, let's go to the break... then the Speed Round. Cool?
Gordon: Cool.

(Brought to you by Judge Tyler... Courtroom has a new name... and haircut... and he's saying a bunch of flimflam and gobbledygook without actually coming to a judgment.)

Chico: ... not to mention Zim-zam-zoobitybop. How about a Speed Round for that bangity bang bang good stuff there...
Gordon: Let's do it. Survivor, Who eats their own first?
Chico: Andrea.
Gordon: I'll say Andrea, if Rob is smart.
Chico: Idol... Who's going home next?
Gordon: Lauren is going to nudge out Scotty and leave - but just barely.
Chico: I think just the opposite. Lauren's going to have a moment. Scotty's done for.
Gordon: We'll see. The Race - who doesn't make it?
Chico: Gary & Mallory
Gordon: I agree. DWTS - does Kendra leave yet?
Chico: Either her or Kirstie.
Gordon: I think Kristie has more fans. No time for email. What do we got on the Facebook?
Chico: We have a viewer review of GSN's originals.

“

Stephen Buus Improv-A-Ganza gets a B- from me. Everyone expecting a "Whose Line" redux will be disappointed. The segments are allowed to go longer than they should, but the viewer must remember that the actors are playing more to the Vegas audience than to the camera. Huge points deducted for the Charlie Sheen ep. And I'm sure Bob Derkach is a talented musician, but I miss Laura Hall and Linda Taylor.

”

Chico: There you go.
Gordon: Thanks for the comment, Stephen
Chico: And from Matthew Behrman...

“

Matthew Behrman Love Triangle with that crazy Wendy Williams gets an F.

”

Gordon: So we were pretty accurate.
Chico: Yup. How about a new question, G.?
Gordon: New question...

“

WLTI'S BIG FACEBOOK QUESTION Let's Talk Jeopardy App. How do you like it? Do you agree with Chico? or Gordon?

”

Chico: Split the readership, why don't you? =p
Gordon: They can love both of us equally. :)
Chico: We'll have the responses next week. We'll also have teachers... lots... and lots... of teachers. So there's that. You can see that on facebook.com/wlti.gsnn. And while you're there, go on and like us. We'd like you back if we could.
Gordon: And that ends this week. Special thanks to...no one in particular, since it's just me and Chico this week.
Chico: Yup. We'll do better next week. Until then from everyone at GSNN. He's Gordon, I'm Chico. Game over. Spread the love.
