Chico: I'm Chico Alexander... with a fact... seven out of the last eight days had record temps somewhere on the east coast. Summer. Welcome to it.
Jason: My sweat is sweating
Travis:: I'm renting out my condo as an isolation booth for any primetime game show that needs one. Air conditioning not included.
Gordon: You don't think this has ANYTHING to do with global warming, do you?
Jason: Nope. It's called a HOT SUMMER.
Gordon: Well this week, you could qualify as a HOT MESS.
Chico: Especially with all the rockets red glares and such.
Travis:: Now, see, in Seattle we have summer for about three days, but everywhere else, there's actual temperature variations and such.
Chico: We'll go over all of this hot mess, because from somewhere in Hades... WLTI... is.. ON! ...or the surface of the sun. Whichever.
Jason: (hands everyone a bottle of ice water)
Chico: Thank you. It's important to keep hydrated.
Gordon: It is I tGordon Pepper, the Kobayashi to Chico, 'Joey Chestnut' Alexander, and here's our 2 guests.
Travis:: Domo!
Gordon: From NYC, Mr. Badlands himself, Mr. Jason Block.
Jason: Glad to be here.
Chico: And from Seattle, Gamer X... Travis Eberle.
Travis:: In Stereosound Where Available. Felicitations and welcomes to everyone.
Gordon: And we start the hot mess this week with 12 acts on stage, and 8 of them shouldn't have bothered.



Jason: BTW...I have the text proof... G went 4 for 4. Tuesday 7:31AM
Chico: That's correct.
Travis:: Can I just say that I was very disappointed that the Olympic Trials were bumped for a no-content AGT clip show?
Chico: Yes. Yes you can.
Travis:: I was very disappointed that the Olympic Trials were bumped for a no-content AGT clip show.
Chico: I like AGT as much as the next guy, but filler is BAD. Anyway, let's go over the NON filler. Helmets on, panel.
Gordon: Before we start... Just a reminder of the 3 things you MUST do if you want to stick around. 1. Raise your game.
Chico: Right.
Jason: DING.
Gordon: 2. Listen to the judges and answer their criticisms.
Jason: DING.
Chico: Truth.
Gordon: 3. Give us something you DIDN'T do in the first 2 shows - don't forget that we have seen you in 2 auditions.
Chico: Boom.
Gordon: And of course the usual standard reality show rules - be nice to the judges, sell yourself, etc.
Chico: That leads us to #1, the Distinguished Men of Brass marching to "Crazy in Love" to start. Great idea, guys. Starting the show with something we've seen a million times.
Jason: That means bye.
Chico: That's an easy decision, and after I had so much hope for you guys.
Gordon: Terrible song choice. Did nothing to raise th bar. If anything, their auditions were better.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: Remember that last sentence. you'll be hearing this a lot.
Chico: On the other hand, you have #2, Edon. He was at the piano performing "Titanium" by David Guetta with Sia.
Gordon: He did raise the bar. Good song choice. Very contemporary and he sang it well.
Jason: I love that song.
Chico: Me too.
Jason: I have the album.
Chico: And Edon, in addition to his age, brought a new feel to the piece.
Jason: This was a "I am here" performance.
Chico: and he was here. He didn't get the votes to advance outright, but he swept the judge's decision. Easy.
Gordon: Well 'I am here' was only good for 4th or 5th.
Chico: Next, Jarrett & Raja made towels sing in the rain. Yawn. Because again... we've seen it so many times in the past.
Gordon: Again, they made a concert orchestra appear. What do they do for an encore? A shower scene? Really?
Chico: This is a family show, G. Shower Game was discontinued for a reason. :-)
Gordon: I would have been a lot happier with a porn scene than flopping towels with visibly seen ladies under there.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: Unless the ladies were WEARING the towels. :)
Chico: Heyo!! Speaking of kids, Lil' Starr party rocks while tapping. Good, but there was another dance act that was BETTER.
Jason: THis was a bad and old trick
Gordon: ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz Again, nothing new we didn't see before.
Jason: Boring
Chico: And "Party Rock Anthem" just seems to be one of those go-to songs, like "Okay, I have nothing better to offer."
Jason: It's a year old.
Chico: Basically.
Gordon: Zero originality in the song choice or routine.
Travis:: The song shouldn't make a difference: it's what you can do with or around it.
Chico: And she couldn't do much. And again, there was a better dance act.
Travis:: Then judge her on that. Or have everyone choose from a small stable of musical accompaniment.
Jason: Right the song didn't matter.
Chico: Right.
Jason: Lil Starr wasnt good.
Chico: Was Todd Oliver and his dog act good? He was good enough to advance to judges' choice, and chalk that up to being... well... cheeky. It was a cheeky act and honestly there was nothing like it to vote against.
Jason: It was different and unique. But that's it.
Chico: Basically
Gordon: Here's the problem I had. I loved the idea, but Howard Stern was 100% right - the material wasn't racy enough.
Travis:: Wait, what?
Chico: Todd Oliver uses his dog as a ventriloquist dummy. It's unique. I'll give him that. But that's all I'll give him.
Travis:: I thought it was AGTalent, not AGTitillation.
Chico: Titillation's not until NEXT week. American BMX Stunt Team. How do extreme stunts translate to AGT victory, class?
Jason: (BUZZ)
Gordon: (buzz)
Chico: Yes, it's good to look at. But a million dollar act? No.
Gordon: What made it worse was once again, there was zero originalty. Just a bunch of flipping bikes. At least the Smage Brothers had a routine.
Travis:: Is there still money in the X-Games?
Chico: Plenty, but it's mostly in pub.
Gordon: Next?
Chico: Nikki Jensen sang "The Scientist" by Coldplay'... which was a little depressing, if you ask me
Gordon: Ok. What was Nikki Jensen's shtick going into the competition?
Chico: Being depressing?
Gordon: Besides that
Chico: She was going all acoustic in Austin.
Gordon: Acoustic hot chick with guitar
Chico: Yeah. There's something wrong with that. The part where she's a chick. =p
Gordon: She's definitely a chick. And She's hot.
Chico: Yes she is.
Jason: But she didn't use the guitar
Gordon: But she wasn't acoustic, she didn't have a guitar, and she sang a song completely out of her genre.
Chico: You never let go of your weapon. That's what makes you you. If you have an edge, you ride it to the end. Batting eighth, the Scott Brothers, whose shtick is... cartoon popping.
Jason: A spectacular dance routine
Chico: They give off the illusion that their bowlers are floating on air. Remember when i said that there was a better dance act? THIS was it. Best act of the night so far.
Gordon: So far - but not my favorite act of the night, but definitely worthy of advancing
Chico: We're getting there, dude. Michael Nejad... who performed "Moves Like Jagger" using household items. I got a household item for you... a shovel. Bury yourself.
Jason: Next...AWFUL.
Chico: The judges give him the razz and wisely so. It was just all over the place and not going anywhere at the same time.
Gordon: And again, it was a bad choice of song. Old song not current, etc.
Chico: Well, it shouldn't matter, but he was not going anywhere with it.
Jason: Payphone would have been better.
Chico: That's one of the rules of offbeat acts. If you're going to do something different with the familiar, make sure you are going somewhere with it. 787 Crew performed the Skrillex remix of Benny Benassi's "Cinema".
Jason: I saw tons of errors in the routine
Chico: They were outgunned from go. I'm sorry.
Gordon: They made errors and it was nowhere near as good as their acts on either AGT or ABDC. What was that?
Jason: Very disjointed.
Gordon: Los equipos de Puerto Rico estan muerto.
Jason: What the.... Block: LOL
Chico: asi-asi, G.
Travis:: Contestants. Defeated.
Chico: Shanice & Maurice Hayes.... one of the two definite ins of the night. They picked the right song and just blew everyone away. They sing "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill. Great backstory. The song ties into the backstory... and the chemistry was there.
Jason: A little on the oversinging but very very well done.
Gordon: No question about it. They deserved to advance and I see them going far. They were my favorites of the evening.
Chico: Not mine. Up there, but the game ball for me goes to... David Garibaldi & his CMYKs
Jason: This. Was. Brilliant.
Chico: Power painting to "Paint It Black".
Jason: I don't know how they are going to do in the top 12...but wow.
Chico: It left you wondering if they had more in the tank. It's different, and I can see this act going far.
Gordon: True. But I had the 'I saw this before' feel. I want more in the next round.
Chico: I think they've got a little more in the tank. Meanwhile, NEXT WEEK.

Chico: Winner Hockenberry, Danielle Stallings, Big Barry, the All Ways, Lisa Clark Dancers, Turf, Aurora Light PAinters, Hawley Magic, Ben Blaque, Tom Cotter, LionDanceMe, and, because Travis wanted titillation... Donovan & Rebecca. I'm calling it for Tim, Turf, LionDanceMe, and the repeat performers from Britain's Got Talent, Donovan & Rebecca.
Gordon: I'll go with Tim and Turf, but I'm going to go with Aurora and Lisa Clark Dancers
Chico: So talent time is over, now how about a little Q&A. We have an interesting game of Jeopardy! ... it's about 9:15. It aired some two hours before we went to air on this episode.
Jason: Oh really?
Travis:: Not for someone in Seattle.
Chico: Not for someone in Seattle.
Travis:: It's about 75 minutes until Jeopardy out here.
Gordon: Well you'll get a sneak preview.
Travis:: Or I can put up Spoiler Shields until you're done talking about it. Chairman, will you oblige?
Chico: I'll allow it. I'll buzz you back in when we're done.
Travis:: Got it. Headphones on.
Chico: Okay, we have something we haven't had in a long time, maybe, oh, three or four years. I could be wrong. But returning champion Stephanie Fontaine has $11,200 going into the final. Her opponent Susan... ALSO has $11,200. This is your classic all-or-nothing wager on the Final.
Gordon: The 3rd player had $11,400...until the last question, and dropped to $9,400. He's still a force in the game.
Chico: The obvious question to answer is not "Will I get this right," but "What are the chances that my opponent gets this right"
Gordon: Well, no. There's an obvious bet for all 3 players here.
Chico: I'll start with the two.
Gordon: Jason, you have $11,200. What's your wager?
Jason: 0
Gordon: Oh that's not my bet. lol.
Jason: 1799?
Chico: Corner booth, J. Five minutes. =p
Gordon: (tosses Jason a dunce cap)
Chico: Gordon, please.
Gordon: I'm tied with $11,200. I get it right, I advance. If I get it wrong, I'm almost certainly gone. The bet is $11,200.
Chico: The book calls this "the tortoise and the hares". If you're either one of the ladies... you bet it all. If you're the monkey in the middle, you play it cool and bet only $1801.
Gordon: Very good, sir.
Chico: Now... the Final Jeopardy! category... And I will once again remind the Washingtonian to cover his eyes and his ears and watch for slime. The category... is OPERA CHARACTERS.

In a play subtitle she's called "The Chinese Sphinx"; in a later opera her suitor calls her "Principessa di Morte".

Chico: You have 30 seconds, good luck.
Jason: (LOCKS IN)
Gordon: (Locks)
Chico: Jason?
Jason: What is Turandot? Or who is specifically
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: Who is Lindsay Lohan, the killer of co-stars careers?
Chico: No the correct response is Jeremy Lin in a Houston Rockets dancer's uniform.
Jason: The Princess of Death.. Gordon's answer does make sense.
Gordon: Chico's...doesn't.
Chico: It's a Chinese sphinx, come on. =p Susan bet... $5000. And she was wrong. It's all academic, because guess who had the right response...
Jason: Stephanie. AND she had the right wager. So Stephanie's in it to win it. She's been doing her homework. She knows her game.
Chico: I'm going to keep an eye on this one. She returns Monday with $35,100.
Jason: 2 weeks to go.
Chico: We've had a string of players who looked like they could enter the tournament talk, but on game 4, fall out. Which way do you see Stephanie going?
Gordon: 2 more days. On the edge of the tournament
Jason: Sounds right
Chico: Okay, Let's buzz Mr. Eberle back in.
Jason: BUZZ!
Chico: Why do I feel like Tony Reali? Mr. Eberle.
Travis:: Yessirs?
Chico: You can come back on. We're done.
Travis:: Excellent. I shall leave the Dragons in their Den, then.
Chico: We went over the show and I made a really BAD Jeremy Lin reference.
Travis:: Is there a GOOD Jeremy Lin reference?
Chico: Speaking of really bad....
 


Travis:: My specialty category!
Chico: Who cleans the floors in the middle of the night with a washtowel?
Travis:: Contestants on a game show who were charged a penalty event.
Chico: But remember, Robin says she's not crazy. And she's in the Glass House. But she's not crazy.
Travis:: ABC, I am so disappoint. You waited until Week The Third to give us the goodies.
Gordon: Well first of all, she's crazy just for doing it. But then again, she's the first person that's showing some semblance of a personality in the house. Is it bad if I said she was entertaining?
Chico: Judges? (BZZZ) No, continue.
Travis:: Y'know what this whole deal reminds me of? Big Brother 2000. And who remembers how well that went.
Chico: Our point exactly. But here's the thing. It's week 3... We're finally "getting the goodies".
Travis:: TOO LONG
Chico: ... and Robin is picked as America's least liked contestant.
Gordon: And she loses her competition, so she gets to go to limbo.
Travis:: Meanwhile we finally get some controversy, as UFC 182: Mormon vs. Gay is contested.
Jason: ROFLMAO
Chico: Jeffrey in the role of Dana White.
Travis:: So here's the tightrope: if you're an "interesting" player, you'll make waves within the house, but possibly the voters (if they have a soul) will keep you around.
Gordon: Well only interesting for the right reasons.
Travis:: CF Primetime Alex Stein 99. May I put out a Betting Question?
Chico: Hold off, let's finish up the sum up of events.
Travis:: Got it.
Chico: Because this is where it gets interesting.
Travis:: And thank God for that, because little about El Casa Glass-a is interesting.
Chico: We end in a 5-5 tie between Andrea and Erica.
Travis:: (OK, the Kinect vote and the metaphor about throwing stones in a glass house is interesting.)
Chico: Robin is the tiebreaking vote being the captain of the team... She picks Erica.
Gordon: AKA. WHo do I have a chance of beating. I have a feeling the answer is no one, but away Erica goes with her.
Chico: Down the tube. Erica and Robin go down the hooooooooooooole.
Travis:: Down the hole, into a Holiday Inn.
Chico: Yeah you read about that. :-)
Travis:: I listen to Rob Cesternino's podcast.
Chico: Okay, betting question. Go.
Travis:: Does the show stay on the air long enough to pronounce a winner: yes or no? PLACE BETS NOW! BET BET BET!
Gordon: Yes, just because there's absolutely nothing else on to put in it's place.
Travis:: Hey, wait a minute, the Chris Harrison's Big Brother Herpes show is starting up.
Chico: This is true. BUT... Even at 2 hours it's way too long.
Travis:: Jon Kelley's gotta eat, too! Why no moar Mole?
Chico: Ha. It lasts, but like anything else that debuted this summer, it's going to be a one-shot deal. Yeah. I said it. CORRECTION. Anything that debuted in broadcast primetime this summer.
Travis:: Into the dustbin of programming with I Survived a Japanese Gameshow and Who's Watching the Newlyweds. Jason, you were kinda quiet in that block. Are you too proud to admit you watch the show, or what?
Jason: I don't watch the show. I am waiting for July 12.
Chico: the REAL show starts. We'll get to that.
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: Big Brother: 2 weeks. The Price is Right: This past week.

Travis:: Is that next? Because I have several complaints herewith.
Chico: We'll get to those in a bit, but here's what happened on our Fourth of July show. We had a crap first half. A stellar second half. A lady who thought she was cute when she bid 420 once. And a how-did-that-happen chip that bounced out of the zero slot and into $10,000. Oh yeah, and some water polo guys showed up on their way to London.
Travis:: Fun Fact: Several four-year colleges are now teaching courses in Applied Plinko Physics.
Chico: This all-American spectacle ended up with two all-American showcases. We have two RED covered iPads, a WHITE Vespa, and a BLUE sailboat. See what I did there?
Jason: YES
Chico: BIDS PLEASE!
Jason: $25,076
Travis:: Lower'n that.
Gordon: $30,303
Chico: The actual price... $34,920.
Travis:: D'oh.
Chico: Gordon, you win... pride. American pride. Now let's see you do it again. The US Olympic Water Polo Team gets to take you to see fireworks in NYC and a Jeep Liberty Sport. Who's got the number?
Jason: $30,000
Travis:: $33,333.
Gordon: $24,000
Chico: Actual price... $31,278. Gordon's off... and Travis thought we were playing Aussie Rules Price. :-)
Travis:: Damn!
Chico: But all in all, it was... as it was billed... a special show.
Gordon: Well 3-3 for a unique show IS special.
Chico: Which delivered nothing incredibly special, but a half-and-half with almost $100,000 out of the door.
Travis:: I disagree, the Plinko and Let 'em Win play in bits were easy. Production finally got a clue.
Chico: So you approve of this episode?
Travis:: All up? sure.
Jason: The 2nd half and the showcases yeah.
Chico: Made up for the craptasticness of the first half. You saw three in a row go down and a questionable bid and all you can think of is "Dear sweet mercy, not this again."
Gordon: Sure -but now we have 2 new shows that you have to decide whether you approve.
Chico: These oughta be fun.
Gordon: The first one is the more high-profile one. It's time for The Great Escape.
Travis:: Didn't we already have that? Rossi Morreale hosts an hour-long weekly commercial?
Chico: No that's ANOTHER escape. This one is hosted by Rich Eisen and there's no SUV in sight.
Travis:: Oh! Shoulda led with Rich Eisen, then. :-)
Gordon: But there are jails, freighters and other places for 3 teams to escape from.
Chico: Three teams of two. They're stuck in a place where the object is simply... to get out. Episode 1... Alcatraz.
Gordon: There's 4 stages (and a bunch of other challenges). In each station, you get a piece of a key upon completion. The objective is to get all 4 pieces of the key, then escape.
Chico: But if you think about it, it's a lot like the old Syfy series "Chase" without the faux video game hokum.
Travis:: Hey! I will not have you talking smack about Cha$e. I dug that.
Jason: No smack talked.
Travis:: Are there reality trappings, or is it just telling the story of the escape?
Chico: It's like a dungeon in Zelda.
Travis:: Once again, shoulda led with that. :-)
Chico: Which is part of the good. It forces you to think.
Gordon: There's a lot of good here.
Chico: There really is.
Travis:: Which channel do I need to buy or pirate for this?
Chico: TNT.
Gordon: For starters, the contestants are NOT force-fed. Unlike the Amazing Race, you have to figure out what to do. This is HARD, which is good.
Travis:: Thank you, Youtube. And thank you, fellow Interrupters, for pointing this out.
Chico: And did we mention guards? Because there are guards. And you can figure out what THEY'RE there to do.
Jason: Stop you at all costs.
Travis:: Swat away LeBron's shots?
Gordon: You get caught, you go back to the start
Chico: And if you get caught and go back to start... you lose everything you picked up to that point. So... you don't want to do that.
Travis:: So it's like you're living a video game on infinite quarters.
Chico: Basically. So we have basically a grown up version of Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Travis:: Giggity. (starring Rich Eisen.)
Chico: The bad... well, this is just me talking but who are the first players we meet?



Chico: Gabe Okoye and Brittany Mayti.
Travis:: Did I read that right? Gabe and Brittany.
Gordon: (Hits the Media Ho Button)
Travis:: Pound it for me, would you, Gordon?
Jason: HOOOO-FENDER
Chico: And true to form, they finish LAST. You're.... really.... BAD AT THIS!
Travis:: We never did find out how their make-up game went.
Gordon: Well if they are on this show, chances are....not good, unless this WAS their make-up game.
Chico: They ended up so bad... ... ahem, THEIR GAME WAS SO BAD...
Jason: HOW BAD WAS IT?
Chico: They were still on the rock when time was called.
Travis:: Contestants. Defeated.
Chico: But yeah, other than that, a really solid adventure game in a sea of suck that is the summer of 2012. Not much to quarrel with here.
Jason: The production looks every high end, very even.
Gordon: http://www.hark.com/clips/spnwhzghpw-your-a-bad-person-from-the-hangover
Chico: Ron Howard's involved. It damn well better be.
Gordon: The production values are fantastic.
Chico: So grades up gentlemen.

	THE GREAT ESCAPE TNT - 10p ET Sundays
	GORDON	CHICO	JASON	AVERAGE-O-MATIC
	A-	A	B	A-

Jason: Solid B
Chico: The first show I gave an A to this summer was Nick's Figure It Out. I sense another one. A
Travis:: I can't give a grade as I haven't read the paper, but it is sounding good.
Gordon: Well I do have some bad here. Rich Eisen does nothing special here. you could have had any one in that spot. However, we're finding some really great game shows this summer. A-
Chico: Well, give him time. It's not about Rich, as awesome as he is, it's about the contestants...'
Gordon: True. The only other issue I have - it's self-contained, so you can smell by the last break who wins.
Chico: Which is not at all a bad thing, mind you, since it's all about the journey.
Gordon: Maybe for you. I like some suspense in my game.
Chico: Well, it's one show, Let's see what the future holds (and I sense a bright future ahead). Meanwhile, we have another show that was just.... there.
Gordon: It's there and waiting for a review. It's called 4 Houses. Chico has the rules.
Chico: They say the best shows can be described with one sense.
Gordon: sentence*
Chico: Four Houses can be best described as... "Come Dine with Me..... with houses."
Gordon: You have a bad house, you go away.
Chico: Four people get together and have a contest to see who has the better decorated house. Winner gets $10,000. Simple. It's a show that doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.
Travis:: So it's Chopped with Interior Decorators?
Chico: No. It's more like "Come Dine With Me"...
Travis:: Oh, you said that. But I don't know how that goes.
Chico: The four homeowners visit each others' houses. Giving points for originality, style, livability and functionality. And the house with the most points wins $10,000 and a spread in Better Homes & Gardens.
Gordon: Which means: If you like these sort of shows, you'll like this. If you don't, you won't. I....don't. C-.
Travis:: That sounds like perfect wallpaper television.
Chico: It IS. Basically, it's a competition for people who like to show off their things. And the beauty of it is, it's nothing more, nothing less, doesn't go above it or below it, it's just there.
Travis:: How nice that they survived the recession with their nice things intact.
Chico: ... I didn't say they were nice. But Gordon is absolutely spot on. If you like this kind of show, you'll watch. If not... you'll watch something else. C. Me, I'm watching the hams play "Four Tunnels". Winner gets a fresh bag of pine chips. Chairman has of course the Carolina Blue regalia...
Gordon: Gordon Jr. decorated his man cave with...(holds nose. Gives Jason rubber gloves and an aerosoil can)
Jason: EWWWWWW
Chico: Chen-Bot has a glass house.... ironically.
Gordon: Be really careful of the thing that looks like a giant bean bag.
Chico: And Eve.... .... I don't know what it is but it looks like evil. While Jason cleans up, Gordon, please?
Gordon: Roll That Beautiful Brain Footage

(Doug: Live, local, and latebreaking... From the four corners of the globe to your frontal lobe, this is WLTI Brainvision News, and now here's Gordon Pepper, Chico Alexander, and the award-winning Brainvision News Team)

Chico: Thanks, Doug. Starting first with a visit from...



Chico: ... followed by a....



Fox had plans earlier this week to move Take Me Out, which was taken out by four nerds and their hottie neighbor, to Saturday where it would do no further harm. Then the numbers came in for yesterday and they decided to keep everything as is.

Chico: Don't get me wrong. It's still headed to the game show thresher, but at least it keeps its place.
Gordon: For now.
Chico: Meanwhile, we have a greenlight also.

And it's for Total Blackout, which gets a second season order from Syfy.

Jason: Deservedly so, but if they don't change the formula it will be two and done.
Gordon: It's fun, but they need to add on this show.
Chico: I think there's going to be a bit of freshening. But yeah, at least they have something to build from. That's always a good thing.
Gordon: Here's another good thing - a Datebook

Tuesday is Trust Us On Your Life (Or another Thank God Your Here Clone), while Thursday is...BIG BROTHER.

Chico: Yay! Another Hantz relative and four returning houseguests. Am I the only one sick of returning houseguests!
Travis:: Well, this isn't like the other times.
Jason: You are.
Travis:: (Is the buzz I've heard.) And no, I don't like it except for All-Stars.
Gordon: Actually, I like this one. The returning houseguests are playing their OWN game.
Travis:: I'd like it if one of the returning champions was different.
Gordon: So it's 2 separate games in the house. The newbies playing for $500,000 and the veterans playing for their own moneys.
Jason: This could be REALLY fun.
Chico: We'll see.
Gordon: That being said, I could do without the Hantz in the pants.
Travis:: It's a different Hantz, not that it matters.
Chico: Meanwhile, I think we should get loaded. Because the BB bar is stocked.
Jason: You know there is a wrestling connection to BB this year.
Chico: No I didn't.
Travis:: I didna!
Jason: Frank Eudy is the son of Sid Eudy a/k/a Sid Vicious/Psycho Sid/Sid Justice
Chico: He as big as Sid Justice?
Jason: Not sure
Chico: Anyway, let's get loaded.
Jason: HIC
Travis:: I've got my own drink over here, thanks.

If you ever wanted to take an improv class, it's as simple as following @IFCBunk on Twitter and playing along with Bunk on IFC. Tweet your own responses and you could win a $300 voucher towards an improv class in your area.

Gordon: whoo hoo
Chico: Following someone for free... and winning $300 just for playing along. That's smart. This... not so much. (whiteboard)
Gordon: This is actually tied in together.

Are YOU Smarter than...the person who stole Jillian Michaels' $100,000+ Bentley?

Chico: Tons more smarter.
Jason: DUDE...she will hunt you down and kick your ***
Chico: you don't steal a Bentley and expect to get away with it
Travis:: "I seem to have lost my very expensive car. Ah well, off to do another television show."
Gordon: The thief gets caught by the cops but...and here's where the Haterade comes in...

After the cops catch him with the Bentley, he drives it right into a light pole, completely totaling it. Bye bye $100,000+ Bentley.

Travis:: And he becomes a contestant on Don't Drop the Soap.
Jason: DUDE!
Chico: So that's grand theft auto... destruction of property...  Yeah. He's not getting out into the world for a LONG TIME.
Gordon: Jason, you're the car expert. How much is a Bentley worth?
Jason: Depends on the Bentley
Gordon: I'm looking at prices now. I see one going for over $300,000
Travis:: Over $100k, said the story.
Jason: Bentley go for 200K+
Chico: Over $100,000.
Gordon: I think Jillian needs to go traveling in another vehicle anyways, Where're we going?
Chico: Home of the Bentley.
Jason: UK
Chico: The theme for this trip to the UK... past, present, and future.

PAST: Live "Millionaire" next week with Chris Tarrant.
PRESENT: Gok Wan will front a British version of "Baggage".
FUTURE: ... "Don't Blow the Inheritance"

Chico: Basically a family-oriented quiz show where the elders work to make a bank roll... that the youngers have to play for in the final round. It's from the same company that gave us the Rich List and Without Prejudice.
Travis:: Yay/Boo.
Gordon: So a hit and a big miss.
Jason: Boo/Yay :-)
Gordon: This could be interesting.
Chico: Very
Gordon: but would you blow the media hoes?
Chico: HELLO AND GOODNIGHTEVERYBODY! (Plays "Pimpin' All Over the World")

In this week's Media Ho Report, Adam Lambert does Queen (the Band), Rachel Crow cuts a video, Andy Griffith passes, Cheryl Cole does Glee, Travis Stork may have found another doctor, Jerry Springer will be hosting TPIR in Canada, Tori Spelling hangs out in a wheelchair, Bob Barker wants the Calgary Stampede to stop, and yes, we have an 'All Star' Celebrity Apprentice edition coming out.

Gordon: But none of them is your Media Ho of the week.
Chico: Who is it?
Gordon: Co- hoes, sorry.
Chico: Who are they?
Gordon: Philip Phillips will be singing the National Anthem for the All-Star game, and Katie Holmes will be a judge on Project Runway
Chico: One has been in the news for being molded and shaped into something the public wants to see... and the other is Phillip Phillips.
Gordon: And those...are your hoes
Chico: And that's Brainvision. Choppler off, J.
Jason: (shutting down)
Gordon: Still to come, a new game! But first?
Chico: First. Straight talk. No chaser.
Gordon: You're reading WLTi, You give us 22 minutes, and we'll give you 22 places where you should be forced to escape from. The DMV. An old castle. My apartment.,
Chico: The ground floor of UNC Hospitals. It's labyrinthine.
Jason: The New York Public Library

(Brainvision is presented by The Crate Escape. Three contestants try to work their way out of a freighter. The catch? They're on a barge headed for Norway.)
