Episode 27.2 - Balls and
Shafted
June 13
 Jason: ROFLMAO!
Chico: OW! My head. I hit it on the back of something laughing at that.
Jason: Thats damn funny. I am crying
Chico: You haven't seen MINE YET!
Jason: The bar has been set high :)
Chico: Welcome back to WLTI. Thank you for being a part of our weekend and for
having our weekend be a part of you. Now it's time to saddle up and ride because
it's the Good.. me...
Jason: (cue whistling)
Chico: The bad... Gordon...and the Ugly.....
Gordon: Jay isn't ugly, but his poker account is.
Jason: LOL
Chico: There you go. Okay, we start with this...
Gordon is good, Jason is bad, Chico is ugly on this: Chris Harrison being all
diplomatic about Ashley and Bentley, saying that it would've "opened up a
Pandora's box" if she knew Bentley's TRUE intention.
Gordon: The Good: It's RATINGS! We have to make up for the Brad Womack debacle.
Jason: The bad: The true intention was for Bentley to open up Ashley's Box. :)
Chico: The ugly: SO WAS EVERYONE ELSE'S!
Jason: ROFL
Chico: UP TOP!
Jason: Down Low!
Chico: *high fives*
Gordon: Filthy McNastys. Next one...
Chico is Good, Gordon is Bad and Jason is ugly on this: Season 3 of Shark Tank
is now casting.
Chico: The good: a good format finally finds its legs and gets a shot in
primetime.
Gordon: The Bad: We're probably going to only see it on Friday or Saturday
nights.
Jason: The Ugly: And we get see more people like BRAIN Implant Guy from Season
1...Yay!
Gordon: Just as an FYI: The Beverly Garland Hotel is where me and Jay stayed for
the Game Show Congress a few years back.
Jason: No kidding :)
Chico: This was before the Glendale Hilton, wasn't it?
Jason: Yes.
Chico: Ah. Just making sure.
Gordon: Right
Chico: Next...
Jason is good, Chico is bad and Gordon is ugly on this: Wheel and Jeopardy! get
ONE MORE YEAR on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel.
Jason: The Good: Two powerful US Game Shows get more Canadian Exposure on a huge
Canadian network.
Chico: The Bad: .... NOT ENOUGH CANADIANS! AND IT'S AMERICAN! WE DON'T NEED
THAT.... CANADA!
Gordon: The Ugly: And then we can replace both huge hits with back to back
episodes of Kenny Vs. Spenny and Inside the Box.
Jason: LOL
Chico: But give the CBC credit. They're incredibly nationalistic, but they're
not dumb.
Gordon: Well, if they are going to get rid of both shows, then they ARE dumb.
Chico: They know there's money in the show.
Gordon: Alex Trebek is CANADIAN. They are sinning against their own host. What
exactly are you going to replace it with?
Chico: ...CANADA! *runs off*
Gordon: Sigh.
Chico: ... *runs back* okay, next?
Gordon: Next one...
Jason is Good, Gordon is Bad and
Chico is ugly on this: The Glee Project
Jason: The good: Fans get a shot at a 7 episode arc on a very popular show
Gordon: The Bad: We've seen this already on MTV, NBC and with High School
Musical. None of the times worked.
Chico: The ugly: you're going to have to be genuinely talented, but they'll
distort the winner's voice beyond recognition. I'll take Overproduced for $400,
Alex.
Gordon: Wouldnt it be funny if they lip synced the winner?
Chico: Hilarious
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next...
Gordon's good, Chico is bad and Jason's ugly on this: Minute to Win It in the
UK.
Gordon: The Good: It's a fun alternative for people like me who think The Cube
is slow and overdone.
Chico: The Bad... I remember this show when it was called the Cube.
Jason: The Ugly: Now we get to see British People fail at Supercoin.
Chico: HA
Gordon: Last one...
Chico is Good, Jason is Bad and Gordon is Ugly on this: Vienna Girardi and Jake
Pavelka together again on The Bachelor Pad.
Chico: The good: To quote my brother, "Oh the drama! Oh the humanity! OH THE
RATINGS!"
Jason: The Bad: Jake and Vienna on our screens, faking friendship
Gordon: The Ugly: I hear it's Anthony Weiner's Pad and he wants to take a dip in
the pool.
Jason: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
Chico: And on that bombshell, it's time to ride into the sunset... but we'll be
back and we'll have buzzers and plungers.
Gordon: After this
(Brought to you by Revisionist History IQ. How well do you know American
history? You could win a major fringe party nomination if you can correctly
guess that the opening salvos of the American Revolution were a warning to the
British... or that the Statue of Liberty was a warning against socialism from
the French... or that Jason Block was married to Kate Middleton.)
Gordon: Wrong, but not incorrect.
Jason: (shakes head)
Gordon: I thought Jason was married to Kate Hudson
Chico: No, dude... he was married to Kate Jackson. That's a Charlie's Angels
reference for you millennials out there!
Jason: No no...it was Kate Mulgrew :)
Gordon: No no no. He was married to Kate Ydid
Jason: No wait it was Katey Sagal LOL
Gordon: Before we drive the car off the cliff, let's take it to the bathroom.
Chico: Let's get Push or Flush started and see where it finishes. First...

Gordon: Hey Let's make a Pawn Shop Game Clone! It could work though on the
execution. A cautious pastry.
Jason: Yeah. This is going to be Antique Roadshow meets something I have no clue
why they greenlit this. FLUSH
Chico: Because it has Merv Griffin's name on it.
Gordon: I do - none of the major pawn shows aren't on the Big 4. So it could

Gordon: If Heidi Klum has to pose naked for a show (and let's face it, she looks
sparkling fine naked), and if they are moving it back to Wednesdays, then
Lifetime knows there could be an issue. Perhaps the Weinsteins are starting to
regret the move from BRAVO? Pastry.
Jason: Lifetime KNOWS there is an issue. Show is showing it's age. PASTRY.
Chico: Or maybe they're taking out the Wednesday block. Let's see how this

FLUSH |

FLUSH |
FLUSH |
Chico: They're still holding onto it. Last time a network held onto a show for
so long, we had the silently aborted Million Dollar Mind Game. Ben Bailey gives
it a pastry.
Jason: I give it a FLUSH
Gordon: It's Russian Roulette all over again. It will attract an audience. I
just don't think it will be enough. I give it a taxi cab with a flat tire.
Chico: Right. Ben'll be back in his rig in no time. It's a summer show. And...
WE'RE DONE!
Jason: WHOO HOO!
Gordon: Yay.
Jason: Whew.
Chico: We'll see how our list stacks up at the end of the summer, when we do
this all over again. Meanwhile... Speed Round is next. Hang on!
(Brought to you by He's Worth What? Teams compete to adopt
their own NFL player. If a team can support him for a month, then they earn 10%
of his contract. Cam Newton hosts.)
Chico: Not to be confused with with a certain Emmy-Nominated friend of ours.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: Hey, the players need to do SOMEthing in September.
Chico: I betcha they'll get a deal done if ESPN says three words..."Teammates is
BACK!"
Jason: ROFL
Gordon: What about The Speed Round is Back?
Chico: Some would argue it never left. But here it comes in three... two... and
ONE!
Gordon: The Voice: Give me someone who will advance.
Chico: Javier.
Gordon: I'll go with that
Jason: Vicci Martinez
Chico: Plausible.
Gordon: AGT; Winner this week?
Chico: Probably.
Jason: Maybe.
Chico: Glee Project. Watching?
Jason: At least the first one
Chico: Let's see what the show is about.
Gordon: Will we be giving any of the new shows this week anything higher than a
C?
Jason: NO.
Chico: Oh no. How many visits to the Cool Wall do we get this week? We asked
what you thought about Lingo. Are you Team Gordon, it's good for a mainstream
audience...Are you Team Chico... It has its moments...Or are you Team Jason...
It sucks five letters from Sunday.
Chico: Matthew Behrman writes...

Matthew Behrman
The Lingo reboot is fantastic and Bill Engvall does a good job on the show, but
the downside (a little) IS NO Shandi! |
” |
Gordon: That would be one for Team Gordon :)
Chico: (DING!)
Chico: Now Team Gordon can come up with another question.
Gordon: He will...

WLTI'S BIG FACEBOOK
QUESTION!
What's more impressive this week: The $100,000 win on Lingo or the $81,007
Season High Winner on The Price is Right? |

Chico: Don't forget to show your work. VERY important.
Gordon: So that's it for the week. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us.
Jason: Always good to be there
Chico: Next week, we warm up our singing voices and Gordon warms up his autotune
thingie.
Gordon: Hey now.
Chico: He really does have an autotune thingie.
Gordon: I do, but that's personal
Chico: And ON THAT BOMBSHELL!
Gordon: That's next week though. For this week, this is Gordon, saying Game Over
and spread the love.
