Episode 24.4 - Pick Your Poison
June 28

Gordon: Welcome back to WLTI. Now the new season has just started, and I see a beautiful day...sunrise...and a baby.
Jason: Awwwww
Chico: Time for a new game.
Gordon: It's called...

Gordon: ... 'Pick your Poison'
Jason: Oh boy. Sounds like a wrestling match
Gordon: We'll give you 2 similar games. You tell us which one you'd rather be playing.
Jason: Got it.
Gordon: We start with this,

Rat Race or Master Key?

Chico: Master Key.
Jason: Master Key
Gordon: Master Key. Easier to win all 3 prizes.
Chico: I don't know, I just think it takes a bit to get to the exciting bit of Rat Race and I want to just jump into it. You know what I mean?
Gordon: I do, next one?
Chico: Next one...

BrainSurge or Silent Library

Gordon: The Library. More painful, but guaranteed money for everyone.
Jason: Love the library. Brutal and fun.
Chico: Can't go wrong with the library. Guaranteed money, and, happy fun. Heh.
Gordon: Next one,

Takeshi's Castle or Wipeout?

Chico: Wipeout!
Jason: Takeshis Castle.
Gordon: I'll go with Takeshi's Cast;e - the U.S. Version. Much easier to win $100,000.
Chico: Dude, that hasn't aired since, 93? 94? Crazy memory.
Gordon: Ask Jay. My memory is sick.
Jason: Insane.
Chico: Next,

Baggage or the Bachelor?

Jason: Baggage. It's a truer dating show.
Gordon: The bachelor. Because I have no chance to be a media ho on Baggage. I could have my own franchise on The Bachelor.
Chico: Baggage. I want love. I can live without being famous.
Gordon: Next one...

Top Chef or Next Food Network Star?

Chico: Top Chef.
Jason: Its NFNS. I am not that good of a chef, but I can learn how to do it.
Gordon: Now this game isn't which one I prefer. It's which one I'd rather play. I LOVE Top Chef, but I have no chance to win it. Now NFNS is not just about cooking, it's about presentation and showmanship, and the best chef doesn't win the show - the best personality does. I have at least a 50/50 shot to win it. Hence, I'll go with NFNS.
Chico: Plus you just want to build a franchise. Me, I just wanna cook. :-)
Gordon: I want a franchise.
Chico: Gordon Pepper, one man franchise. Believe it. =p Finally...

America's Got Talent or America's Best Dance Crew?

Jason: AGT! I can't dance, don't ask me. But I can do somethign else.
Chico: Yay, something else!
Gordon: ABDC. If I'm a dance group, I have no prayer of winning AGT.
Chico: AGT. I can't dance. But I can sing. And I can get a group together.
Gordon: I believe that's it.
Chico: I believe so.
Gordon: So how do you like the new game?
Chico: I think we'll keep it.
Jason: Me too!
Gordon: Cool. We'll have more fun next!
Chico: We're going to kick it like Landon with the GSNN World Cup Who's Your Daddy: UK Edition, and as they say over the pond, SEEYOUAFTERTHEBREAK.

(Brought to you by Rupaul's Drag Race: Disney. Can you dress up as your favorite Disney characters and sing Broadway show tunes? Sure you can. Nothing like drag queens to provide family entertainment.)

Chico: Wonderful.
Jason: ROFL
Chico: Seriously.
Gordon: So are you going to be Pocahontas or Jasmine?
Jason: Jasmine LOL
Chico: You honestly think you can pull that one off. =p
Jason: If lose about 50 pounds and but a black wig, sure
Gordon: He's Jay. He can do it. Even if he can't, he can provide entertainment.
Chico: And speaking of entertainment, we're going to continue our World Cup tribute, even though our boys lost it. Thank you, Ghana.
Gordon: Here we go, So this is Group 2: The UK. And let's start with Cash Cab.
Chico: Cash Cab's a good place to start.
Jason: That was a UK show?
Gordon: It is.
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Simple brilliance.
Gordon: Let's continue with some viewer selections. Chico?
Chico: Okay...Pop Idol
Gordon: Above the Cab. Sorry Ben.
Chico: You know what, I'm going to completely cheese Gordon off here, BELOW the Cab. It's been on too long.
Gordon: Idol has only been on for 9 years here.
Jason: Agreed. Pop Idol is culturally significant and still has legs. ABOVE the cab.
Chico: Wait until you hear what I have...

IDOL > Cash Cab

Chico: Next, The Weakest Link.
Jason: Below the cab.
Chico: Sounds about right.
Gordon: Below. Fun, but not a Top 4 for me.
Chico: Right.

Idol > Cash Cab > WEAKEST LINK

Gordon: Next one...Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Chico: Below Idol. It lost some Thunder.
Gordon: I agree. But what a show.
Jason: Sounds about right. But a classic.

Idol > MILLIONAIRE > Cash Cab > Weakest Link

Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next one... The Cube
Jason: Below the Link.
Chico: Above Link.
Gordon: Doesn't have the legs. Below the Link.

Idol > Millionaire > Cash Cab > Weakest Link > THE CUBE

Chico: Next?
Gordon: Next one... Countdown.
Jason: On top. The best show in the world. Period.
Gordon: I can't go that far, because it doesn't have the global effect. Above Cash Cab.
Chico: TOP. Most underappreciated show. EVER.
Gordon: It's an awesome, awesome show though.
Chico: So that goes...

Idol > COUNTDOWN > Millionaire > Cash Cab > Link > Cube

Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Two more shows. The first... X-Factor.
Jason: Above the Cube.
Chico: Below the cab.
Gordon: Good show. I'd like to see it as a wild card, but I don't see it knocking off any of the Top 4. Below Cash Cab.
Chico: So that goes...

Idol > Countdown > Millionaire > Cash Cab > X-FACTOR > Link > Cube

Chico: Last one?
Gordon: Last one... Only Connect
Chico: You know what, This is oddly interesting. Below Millionaire.
Gordon: This is another one I want to see in the Wild Card Round. Very underrated game which requires smarts. I can't see Cash Cab not getting a slot though. Below X-Factor.
Jason: I want to put it below Cash Cab and above X Factor. Good, but THISCLOSE.
Gordon: So I think we have 2 shows here we want to see again.
Chico: Yep. We're going to see Only Connect and X Factor, but for now...

IDOL > COUNTDOWN > MILLIONAIRE > CASH CAB > Only Connect > X-Factor > Weakest Link > The Cube.

Chico: And I completely forgot the Million Pound Drop. I'm thinking best of the rest round. The show with the dropping money, you know what I mean?
Jason: Yes I do.
Gordon: We'll see that later on. This week's Facebook Question...

What do you want to see in the France/Australia/Netherlands Bracket?

Chico: Fort Boyard, y'all.
Gordon: Deal or No Deal? Temptation? Something else? 15 to 1? Big Brother? Let us know.
Chico: 1 vs. 100 still on?
Gordon: Yes it is
Jason: Help us out at Facebook.
Chico: Meanwhile, we're going to speed. Things. Up... after this...

(Brought to you by Million Dollar Cash Cab. You think Cash Cab is tough? Try going from NJ to NYC in 9am Rush Hour Traffic. If you get an accident on the upper level of the George Washington Bridge, you could have a 2 hour wait, which enables you to play for hundred of thousand or even millions of dollars!!!! Who wants some?)

Jason: ROFL
Chico: Yeah,
Gordon: Congrats to the Cash Cab crew.
Chico: Still have that whole "don't leave Manhattan" rule, though. Heh. Welcome back, I just found out that the meter is still running outside, so let's go to a SPEED ROUND!
Gordon: Speed Round Starts...now! Hell's Kitchen. Will we see a red team win before Ramsay switches up the teams again?
Chico: No.
Jason: Don't think so
Gordon: I agree. Top Chef: Who leaves next?
Jason: Pass. Have not caught up yet.
Chico: Stephen.
Gordon: I'll go with Kelly. America's Got Talent: You have a favorite yet?
Chico: Not yet. Maybe next week.
Jason: Not yet.
Gordon: I'll go with the real mother of 'Precious'
Jason: She is up there. So is the Katrina kid.
Chico: Yeah, but I don't think we've seen THE act yet. I mean, these were good, but we haven't seen THE act.
Gordon: Can anyone explain to me what Cirque du solieil or The Lion King have to do with the Daytime Emmys?
Chico: Ratings. That's it.
Jason: They are in Vegas.
Chico: Does this mean we're going to see Terry Fator?
Gordon: They are in Vegas. Where is our viewers email?
Chico: Still in our viewers' computers.
Gordon: How does it get into our mailbox?
Chico: They send it to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com Or hit up the Facebook, and the Myspace, and the YouTube... And if Chrishell Stause is still backstage at the Emmys, our address will be posted at the end of the show, Bring munchies.
Gordon: There you go. And that ends the show. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining usd this week.
Jason: Always a pleasure to be here.
Gordon: Next week: We go to the library and then go to Europe.
Chico: Gordon what are you watching?
Gordon: I'll be watching the semi-finals of Last Comic Standing.
Jason: I will be watching Silent Library.
Chico: Everyone will be. What won't you be watching?
Gordon: USA on the World Cup Tournament :(
Jason: Late Night Liars. Unfunny, and unwatchable.
