Episode 27.1 - I Don't Feel Like Dancing, No Sir, No Dancing Today
June 6

Chico: Don't give Mike Darnell any ideas.
Gordon: He probably thought of it already. Welcome back to the show.
Chico: And it's time... with apologies to our friend Geoff Edwards... to Play the Percentages!
Gordon: This week we've had our share of interesting business developments. The round will be dedicated to said developments. We start with...

Fear Factor is coming back to NBC. What's the % that Joe Rogan will join them?

Chico: He's high on the list. I say about 75%
Gordon: I'll go a little lower. 60%. He's the voice of the franchise, but I can see if the men in the suits want to go younger. However, they need to be real careful here - the wrong choice of host will doom this franchise.
Chico: We need someone with a lot of bite.
Gordon: Conversely, I haven't seen Joe around, so I think he would do this at the going rate.
Chico: We'll see how he does. He already has a winning track record with the Ultimate Finales.
Gordon: The record speaks for itself. Next...
Chico: Boo yah.

Britain's Got Talent has been accused of bringing in a 12-year old (who allegedly is already signed to a record deal through their company) to promote - and then to win. What's the % that this is legit?

Chico: I'm going with 20%. I don't think it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. Because... well, let's face it. It's BGT. Something's gotta stink sooner or later. Think about the two big worldwide profit earners from the show. What do they have in common?
Gordon: I'm going to be a lot more cynical. 55%. You can't have an act go through all these background checks and not know he had a contract with the same company that's running the show.
Chico: They're frumpy AC acts that your mother would love. Wouldn't surprise me if they were going to try and make some cash off of a youngun.
Gordon: Surprise : 0%. Next one...

Continuing on that same Vein. Britain's X-Factor is migrating to the U.S. What's the % that it's the number one show in the Fall?

Chico: I'm going to be cynical here and go with 50%. It still has to beat Dancing with the Stars.
Gordon: I'll be even more so. 10%. The Fall is a very nasty animal and it still has to deal with DWTS, etc. Plus FOX is going to be airing the World Series, which will pre-empt the show.
Chico: Especially if the Yankees get in, and we all hope they do.
Gordon: Go Yankees! :)
Chico: Whoop whoop. Next?

Japan's Tokyo Broadcasting System has sued Wipeout with a 'Cease and Desist', claiming that it borrows elements from Takeshi's Castle, and MXC, among others. What's the % that TBS wins?

Chico: There's an old saying... "It's Hollywood. Everyone's copying everyone." It's one thing if it's directly lifted from the show, but if it's a composite, that's a lot trickier to prove infringement upon. 12%.
Gordon: The problem here is that some of the stunts are direct lifts and I think TBS will be able to prove it. 85% that they'll get something out of it, but I don't think they are going to yank the show. I do think TBS will get some sort of compensation over it.
Chico: They're going to win SOMETHING, but it'll more than likely be a settlement of some sort, not an overall kill of the show.
Gordon: I'd rather see a show that got lifted on the air and me getting paid for it.
Chico: Because you'd profit from it and ABC could keep it. Everyone wins!
Gordon: MONEY! Next one...

Ludia will be bringing in TV games and making them Facebook applications. What's the % that a game starting out on the internet makes it's way on TV?

Chico: Worked for Catch 21. Will work again. Just need the right game. 90%
Gordon: 100%. I'm sure someone's coming up with an Angry Birds TV show as we speak.
Chico: It'll prolly end up on Nick as a cartoon that's slightly geared toward adults (see the Hub's "Dan vs.")
Gordon: Or a companion to Toon's Hole in the Wall. Finally...

What's the % that The Voice will have the highest Post-Superbowl ratings ever?

Chico: THAT'S...not gonna happen. 33%.
Gordon: 6.9%. I'm not sure there will be a Super Bowl. And besides, it's the wrong target audience for that sort of show.
Chico: It'll be big. Not the biggest, but big.
Gordon: Big? Maybe. Biggest? No.
Chico: And think about this, you know what show would be premiering after the NFC championship if it's played? American Idol. Just something to think about.
Gordon: But I hear the list of new shows is big.
Chico: Oh it's big. And it's bound to get bigger. Hopefully not after we take a break to get the toilet ready.
Gordon: We return after this!

(Brought to you by Jersey Shore's Got Talent. Spoiler alert: 85 percent of the acts involve gymming, tanning, and laundry. Who'll be fist pumping like champs? That's for the Situation and JWoww to decide)

Gordon: You forgot cannolli eating.
Chico: ... we're talking about actual cannolis, right? As in culinary cannollis, right?
Gordon: Yes. not as in the ones that shoot bullets.
Chico: Good night everybody!
Gordon: But the toilet's always loaded
Chico: Yep. But will it be loaded with the good stuff this week or... what a toilet is known for being full of?
Gordon: We'll find out. You have the list?
Chico: I have the list. First up...

	CHICO	GORDON	PASTRY

Chico: Basically a version of Come Dine with Me with Rocco DiSpirito playing judge, jury, and executioner.
Gordon: Bravo's version of Chopped. Not too keen on the history of a straight copy and too too keen on Rocco. Jiggle.
Chico: It's on Bravo. It'll sate you until Top Chef comes back. PUSH.
Gordon: Bravo's history of the Xerox doesn't impress me.
Chico: Next...

Gordon: I hated the UK version of it. I'm guessing I'm not going to like this version much better. FLUSH.
Chico: If it can hold Wipeout's audience of diehards, then it may have legs. Even so, I'm betting on Jeff Sutphen. Jiggle.
Gordon: Jeff can't save this slow, drawn out over-wrought format.
Chico: Next..

Gordon: See during the Summer, it should rule. But the problem is its up against NBC's new powerhouses. Pastry.

Gordon: Push afterwards then.
Chico: Right on. Next...

Chico: It's Chopped... TO THE EXTREME!
Gordon: I like the idea here. I don't know how much mileage it's going to get, but I like the premise. I'll give it a Gas Cooker.
Chico: That's a new one. I'll give it a gas cooker as well... Basically going to sit or get off the pot on this one. Sit on it and see what happens.
Gordon: We shall. I have a break cooking and then we'll head to the Speed Round.
Chico: Nom nom nom.

(Brought to you by the ACME Dance Classes of America. You want to look like a Dance Superstar? Train here! This semesters courses are the Haspop Hustle and the Double Dream Hands Dance.)

Gordon: You're enrolling in that, aren't you, Chico?
Chico: Hell yeah. My game needs freshening. Before we do that, though, let's reach uppppppppppppppppppp and grab a Speed Round! *Dream hands*.... and I'll never do that again.
Gordon: Please don't. Speed Round Starts....NOW! AGT: Do we see the winner yet?
Chico: I think we'll see one more singer, one more dance act, and one more kid who all have legitimate goes at it. But no, no winner YET.
Gordon: I agree. The Voice. Give me someone who's leaving this week.
Chico: Raquel, Nakia, Devon, and Jared. AKA, who, what, when, and why?
Gordon: I'll go with Nakia
Chico: Lingo. Two out of the three of us gave it the seal of approval. Do you watch it this week?
Gordon: Of course. SYTYCD: Winner this week?
Chico: Given that we're in the Vegas stages, yes.
Gordon: That was quick.
Chico: Yes it was. They want to get those all-stars in tout suite. Let's go to the wall. We asked about summer shows and which ones you're watching... Douglas Crawshaw says...

“

Douglas Crawshaw Who's Still Standing with Ben Bailey.

”

Chico: Good choice there. Josh Woo says...

“

Josh Woo GSN's Lingo, if only to watch it fail harder than rocks. R-O-C-K-S.

”

Chico: We all know that people are going to say it will pale in comparison to the original. That said... Just watch it. Once. With an open mind. Think like we think, if only for half an hour. That said, here's the question...

“

WLTI's BIG FACEBOOK QUESTION Now that you've seen Lingo... What do you REALLY think about it?

”

Chico: Answer online at facebook.com/wlti.gsnn And to remind you... responses taken before 8:30p ET will not be accepted. I'm talking to you yelpers out there.
Gordon: Again, we will not accept any answers here until Tuesday am, because if you comment before then...you haven't seen it.
Chico: Even better. We know how y'all do.
Gordon: And that's it for our show this week. Special thanks to no one in particular, since it's us 2 crazies this week.
Chico: WEEE!
Gordon: Next week: We review a lot of shows and provide both food and merriment.
Chico: Until then, for Gordon Pepper and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander... game over, and spread the love. :-)
