Episode 24.3 - Who's Your Daddy?
June 21

Chico: Good luck with that one.
Jason: Yeah
Gordon: Welcome back to WLTI. Now here you know we like to be current.
Chico: Yes we do.
Gordon: And being that we have The World Cup, we wanted to celebrate it in our own way.
Chico: Yes we did.
Gordon: So we are proud to bring you...GSNN's WORLD GAME TOURNAMENT
Jason: OOOOH!
Gordon: It's not only the first time we are doing this, it's also the first time we are hybridizing games. We will first be selecting games with Who's Your Daddy, then have them face off in March Madness.
Chico: May the best game win!
Gordon: There will be 8 qualifying weeks. They will be the following: USA, UK, France/Australia/Netherlands, Japan/China, Spain/Mexico, the Middle East, The Rest of the World, and Wild Card. The rules. The game must have ORIGINATED in the country. For example, though we have Deal or No Deal here, it is not a USA game, so it can only be represented by The Netherlands. Also: New episodes of the game must be CURRENTLY on the air.
Chico: Right.
Gordon: Cause you don't see Pele playing in this year's World Cup.
Jason: Correct.
Chico: Bingo.
Gordon: So with that out of the way, let's begin.
Chico: Starting with Group A: The best of the US today. First of all... gotta have the king, The Price Is Right.
Jason: Right.
Gordon: Next up: Jeopardy!
Jason: Jeopardy over Price
Chico: Agreed. Jeopardy! over Price.
Gordon: I say Price over Jeopardy, as Price has had the greater global impact.
Chico: you can say... but you're outvoted, so... =p

JEOPARDY! > Price

Chico: Next up...Wheel of Fortune
Jason: Wheel over J and Price. Wheel has had a bigger global impact its this one.
Chico: Now if ANY game show had a global impact, it would be this one. Over Jeopardy!.
Gordon: Below Price. Great global game, but not enough substance.,
Chico: Okay, so that goes...

J! > WHEEL > Price.

Chico: Next?
Gordon: Next one: Family Feud
Jason: Bottom. Not that great of a show
Gordon: Doesn't make my top 4. Bottom.
Chico: Hmm...Yeah, bottom. It translates well, but in the end, it's just the surveyed opinions of 100 people.
Chico: Remember, only the top four of eight advance, right?
Gordon: Right
Chico: Next up...The Newlywed Game
Jason: Above Feud
Gordon: Over Feud, but won't make my Top 4.
Chico: Yeah, good enough, but not really an impact maker...

J! > Wheel > Price > NEWLYWED > Feud

Chico: Next?
Gordon: Next...The Amazing Race
Chico: Oh, baby. Top of the world, ma.
Jason: Above Price.
Gordon: under Price. Best reality show out there. Keep in mind that both Survivor and American Idol weren't started in America.
Chico: So...

J! > Wheel > RACE > Price > Newlywed > Feud

Chico: My last pick.... Wipeout. The obstacle course, not video wall.
Jason: Below Newlywed.
Chico: Below Price. Literally making waves all over the place, but still has ways to go.
Gordon: Below Price. Yes on the global impact, but not a Top 4 show in the U.S. Especially since it's been accused many a time of copycating the Japanese in their shows.
Chico: Okay, so that goes...

J! > Wheel > Race > Price > WIPEOUT > Newlywed > Feud

Chico: One more, G.
Gordon: Last one...Let's make a Deal
Chico: Wow. This is hard... either I put it in the top and knock out TPIR or I don't.
Chico: It's definitely above Wipeout, that's for true...I'll go with between Price and Wipeout.
Gordon: I think it falls short here but I'd like to see it n the Widcard Round. Under Price.
Jason: Right spot. Under Price. Alright, we'll see LMAD in the wild card heat, but as for this heat...

JEOPARDY! > WHEEL > RACE > PRICE > Let's Make a Deal > Wipeout > Newlywed > Feud

Gordon: Now as the voting public, there's a few ways to get a voice in this contest.
Chico: Awesome! How?
Gordon: Once the grid is completed, you will vote through Facebook, MySpace, etc. The people's vote will count as 1 vote when we get to the knockout rounds. And the second way to vote: Let us know what game shows SHOULD be in the nomination circle.
Chico: So we'll watch out for that then.
Gordon: Next week: The UK. I already see Millionaire, Cash Cab and Countdown as worthy contenders.
Chico: Not to mention Got Talent, the Cube, and X Factor.
Gordon: So we rely on the public to help us out.
Chico: So yeah, input, write, tell us! Meanwhile, we have your input on Late Night Liars from our Big Facebook Question. This is one of what we got...

“

There aren't enough rounds in the game -- but they spend far too much time on too little content, and not enough giving the Liars personalities behind "broad knockoff of someone you've seen before"

„

Gordon: This week's Question:

What game shows from The UK should make our Tournament?

Chico: Ooooooohhhh. Go to Facebook.com and search for WLTI to give us your thoughts.
Gordon: We'll get personal with plungers next.

(Brought to you by Cash Shinkansen. How much money can you make on a Japanese bullet train? Better answer fast.)

Jason: That would be bad if you missed in-between stations.
Gordon: Very. But entertaining. Just like these plungers I have here.
Chico: Nice. You know how it goes by now...
Jason: We need the toilet though
Chico: We're cleaning out the list now. *brings in Toilet*
Jason: Minty fresh :)
Gordon: Let's get going

Chico: My guess... they saw the numbers Poker After Dark got and wanted a piece of that action... Jiggle.
Gordon: I like the concept. You win what you make. What I like better is that it's in a perfect spot - 1:35 am et. It's stripped and it will do well against PAD. Push.
Chico: And that translates to... a pastry. Yikes. Next...

	24 HOUR RESTAURANT BATTLE Food - July
	CHICO	GORDON	JASON	PUSH
	PUSH	PUSH	PASTRY

Chico: It's like Last Restaurant Standing... only with 24 hours.

Chico: Only because they know their audience.... PUSH.
Gordon: We've seen this before. Girls voting off the guys and guys voting off the girls, with the people remaining staying on. It was called Paradise Hotel and it was a hit for FOX. This will get the same audience and the same result. PUSH, but I'm cringing while doing it.
Chico: It was a hit?
Gordon: It spawned Paradise Hotel 2 and Forever Eden,. I'd consider that a hit,
Chico: (victory cue) Okay. Next...

Chico: 1UP Mushroom.
Jason: ROFL
Chico: That's the last time I lend you my copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Gordon: Hey, I'm addicted to it. What can I say?
Chico: Are you addicted to a Speed Round? Because that's what we've got next.
Gordon: I am. And you'll get one after this!

(Brought to you by Hollywood Lights Out... The only game show on television with 25 celebrities and one crazy board... Can you turn out all the lights in Hollywood?)

Chico: I can easily see one game lasting ages... especially with contestants that aren't necessarily known for their smarts.
Gordon: Sure. Just need a Hollywood Party, Paris Hilton's Vokda Cabinet and Season 1 of What Chili Wants.
Jason: LOL
Chico: Congrats, G, you just admitted to the world that you follow "What Chilli Wants"
Jason: He has admitted worse.
Chico: This is true
Gordon: Well, what I want is a Speed Round...now!
Chico: Hell's Kitchen. Who's going home?
Gordon: Top Chef: Who's next to go?
Chico: I'm going to go with Autumn and Stephen on both accounts.
Gordon: I'll say Autumn and Kelly
Jason: I will say Stephen
Chico: Downfall. You watching?
Jason: This is my pick for this week.
Gordon: I'll go with that.
Chico: I'm going to go with BrainSurge season 2 And you know what, we're going to cover all of that next week. Meanwhile, what's in the mailbag, G?
Gordon: I've got mail from Steven Waldie. Thanks, Steven!

Chico: Okay, you know about our take on Rat Race. It's cute. It's not terribly original, but it's cute. As for Rich... it's only a rumor and should be treated as such until we get a confirmation from a reliable source.
Gordon: Agreed. We know the rumor has been out there, but we haven't reported on it because we have know proof. We'd rather be slow and right than quick and wrong.
Chico: True, true.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next...Hey Gordon! It's your friend!
Gordon: Identity Withheld?
Chico: That'd be him!

Jason: Oh boy
Chico: Oh boy indeed.
Gordon: Ok. The first email by Steven Waldie? We like those emails. Send us those.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: The second emails? We don't pitch, represent idea or contestants. We can't help you get on a game show or pitch an idea. Don't send us those.
Chico: Unsolicited solicitations? We don't specialize in that. In any case, the address is wlti@gameshownewsnet.com. OR if you have the latter, the address is likeicare@brickwall.com.
Gordon: Or get us on YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace. That winds up this show.
Chico: Jason Block, thanks as always. Your insight is much appreciated.
Jason: Thanks for having me, as always.
Chico: More of the great stuff next week. Until then, for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander. Thanks so much for reading... Game over and spread the love.
