Episode 21.6
July 13

Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, and all you have to know about this week is that the person who won the most money is Larry the Cable guy.
Jason: Um...yeah.
Chico: Let's let that simmer for a bit.
Gordon: (simmering) He's got more money than the 3 of us put together.
Jason: (simmers and thinks) Wow. It was a light week then.
Gordon: I see steam rising.
Chico: Either that or he's not as dumb as we all think. I still remember one quote he made... "Imagine living out your whole life as a fictional character."  That reminds me... I'm Chico Alexander, and from Somewhere in America, the Characters Welcome edition of WLTI... is... ON!
Jason: WOOT!
Gordon: Yay! Gordon and Chico Alexander here, along with Jason Block. Hey Jason, speaking of cable, how's yours?
Jason: Tuesday.  I have been without TV a month. I am jonesing bad.
Chico: That must've been hard.
Jason: No Sports no anything.
Gordon: The internet, however, is your friend.
Jason: Yes it is
Chico: Yep. Well, it could be worse.
Gordon: Which means that you could have been a voyeur all week watching 13 houseguests be wacky.
Chico: ... Welcome to worse :-)
Jason: There you go. Welcome to Big Brother 11
Chico: No phone, no cable, no internets, NOTHING. But it seems like this is the most interesting batch of societal castoffs we've seen in a while.
Gordon: Do tell.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: We have, as part of this year's Kicking it Old School twist... three populars, three athletes, three offbeats, and three brains. No, not us, three other brains.
Jason: Gotcha.
Chico: Still good stuff, we have a neurologist, a writer, and a gamer. Unfortunately, none of them could seal the deal in the first HOH challenge. Let's explain. The 12 houseguests were competing not for HOH for themselves, but for someone else... an alumnus of the BB house.
Jason: Interesting.
Chico: We had Jessica from BB8 in the popular (and perky) crowd. We had Cowboy from BB5 as an offbeat... We had Brian from last year with the brain, and Jessie from last year with the brawn. So we had the opportunity to make one of these people HOH and life in the BB House that much more interesting.
Jason: Do these people stay in the house permanently?
Chico: Yessir. And then the athletes win and Jessie moves back in and said hopes are dashed. In FACT, guess who your first two nominees for eviction are..
Jason: Two brainiacs
Chico: An offbeat (Lydia) and a brain (Chima). Oh, did we mention that if one of your clique is HOH, then you are immune? Because that's important.
Gordon: Also important, jock boy Russell winning the Veto.
Jason: Ah ha.
Chico: So expect the nominations to stay the same. Which is sad, really.
Gordon: Well, maybe yes and maybe no.
Chico: But it goes back to one of the rules you laid out last week... Don't piss anyone off, and right now, the allegiance is to your clique.
Jason: So far.
Chico: Don't anger them, lest you want to feel the backlash.
Gordon: And this weekend...we got into a huge fight between everyone, with Ronnie threatening to punch Jeff's lights out.
Chico: Nice...
Jason: Ah yes...violence
Chico: Nice to know we're getting into the violence early. By the way, violence is bad.
Gordon: Ronnie Vs. Russell. If they post up the fight this week, and if Russell is truly offended, he could take one of them off and put Ronnie up. Which means that the video geek fan, the person that we're pinning our hopes and dreams on..could be the first one out the door.
Chico: Oh dear. I would think that someone who has every cast of BB memorized by eviction order would know better than that.
Jason: Crap.
Chico: It's one thing to be loved, and it's one thing to be feared, but you do NOT want to be hated.
Jason: Not this early anyway
Gordon: No. Meanwhile, Natalie spurned off an advance by Jeff and they are getting into it. The problem here - they are in the SAME clique.
Chico: Woops.
Jason: Not good to be "blocked" this early either.
Chico: Not really, no.
Gordon: So they are stuck with each other - unless someone who's not an athlete wins. And that could be trouble for Jeff and Russell, who both look like targets. How strange is that that Jesse may be under the radar?
Jason: That could take a lot.
Chico: So it seems we had with the best group we've had in a while... we also have the dumbest. It's a lot to take in after one week.
Gordon: Or at least the horniest and most volatile
Jason: ROFL. That too.
Chico: Hormones... the only explanation. And since this is high school all over again, then... yeah, it's valid. Makes sense, right?
Jason: Of course.
Gordon: Sure. Now lets go back a few grades...down to elementary school.
Chico: Ah, going to Larry the Cable Guy?
Jason: Getting it done.
Chico: for charity. I have the question right here that got him $300,000. The category: 5th Grade US History...
Gordon: Let's hear it

The Salem witch trials of 1692 occurred in what present-day US state?


Chico: Answers, class?
Jason: (locks In) Should I reveal?
Chico: That would help, yeah.
Jason: Massachusetts. I have been to the actual court house.
Gordon: Massachusetts, of course.
Chico: It's a nice courthouse, isn't it?
Jason: You been?
Chico: No, but I've heard. Coworker used to live up there.
Jason: Its a very small building. But been there.
Chico: Yeah. That's right for $300,000. Larry decided against answering the $500,000, even with a cheat on the table. The question... 5th Grade Astronomy
Jason: Ok. Bring it.

In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form what other element?

Jason: I am guessing Helium...from the name Helios of the Sun?
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: I'll say helium and save my smart-ass answers for later. :)
Chico: Okay. Sing with me now..."Two molecules of hydrogen, slam dance and turn to helium...
Jason: YES!
Chico: "What's left is solar energy, and speed of light and race through space, 8 minutes later on your face."
Jason: Source of the song?
Chico: Old Nick PSA. 1990, 1991.
Jason: Very cool.
Gordon: Ah.
Chico: So Larry the Cable Guy wins $300,000 for the Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital, Orthopedics Department.
Jason: Very cool.
Chico: And that was your Million Dollar Moment of the week. Enjoy it, because it doesn't get any better.
Gordon: YAY!
Chico: Trust me. I've see Great American Road Trip.
Gordon: He could take it and go on a road trip.
Jason: That bad huh?
Chico: It's not bad... It's just trying too hard in spots.
Jason: I read your recap....looks like Central casting
Chico: Yeah, try watching it. You get the same vibe.
Gordon: It sounded like Central Casting, casting people who don't have a TV set.
Chico: Yep. Let's go over the cardinal sins committed by the cast in... the Big Bored.


Roadoverkill

- Cute stunts...
- Great scenery...
- Unbelievable families straight from central casting...
- No playalong...
- Nothing we haven't seen before...

 

Chico: This one's titled, simply... Roadoverkill.
Gordon: Dead skunk in the middle of the road....
Jason: Ewwwwww
Chico: NOW... One thing you need to remember about this show.. It is not a race. It's all about the journey. Take it all in.
Jason: A lot of people thought they were on a DIFFERENT SHOW.
Gordon: I'm thinking the same thing.
Chico: Yep, chief amongst them, the "Mexican Clark Griswold" in the Rico family, who's trying to pass the other families on the road. That didn't work out well.
Chico: Meanwhile, we also have a stalled decked out RV at the start of the line with Silvio diSalvatore trying to carve his own way to Route 66.
Jason: lol
Chico: One other thing to remember is that this show is a straight shot from Chicago to Santa Monica down Route 66, the great American highway.
Gordon: The whole point of the show isn't to get there the quickest - it's to complete obstacles on the way.
Chico: Yep, and for the most part, they're inspired obstacles. Cute, harmless... except when you win and someone calls foul on it. Cue the diSalvatores. The Coote family from Chicago won the "Presidential Race" KoR Challenge in an almost ingenious fashion. The point was to get as many "votes" through an obstacle course and to a "ballot" as possible. All while wearing an oversized President head.
Jason: Cute...but ok.
Chico: The Cootes decide to basically put all their eggs in one basket, delivering a giant shoveling of votes held up by dad's shirt only. They end up winning the challenge. But here's the thing. One of the rules states that the votes cannot be stuffed inside your shirt to count.
Jason: oops
Chico: Amy diSalvatore quickly launches into burying the Cootes' strategy, though no votes were concealed. She eventually did the right thing and apologize, but they really should've been concentrating on their own victory rather than going after another team.
Gordon: And they didn't get zapped for it.
Chico: Nope.
Jason: Not cool.
Chico: And so far, the "Are We There Yet?" count is at ... 1.
Jason: My over under is 5
Chico: I'll go 8, once every episode. The leg ends in St. Louis, and we have to play a game of zorb croquet with a zorb, a few mini-Arches, and 450 feet of rope, otherwise known as... a good night at Gordon's apartment.
Gordon: Hey!
Jason: ROFL. Wow.
Gordon: Stop spying on me using your webcam.
Chico: SORRY!
Gordon: Damn (Puts fuzzy handcuffs away)
Chico: That's just... wrong. Anywho, the strategy is to guide the zorb through all of the arches to the one at the end in the shortest time. The Katzenbergs did it in 41 minutes, including engaged couple Hyleri and Marc... they're the first team to have their vacation cut short. So we have cute stunts... great sights... but families seemingly out of central casting. It just doesn't feel... real to me, you know?
Gordon: Here's the problems that I have with it. 1. And most importantly, there's no sense of playability. No sense of excitement.
Chico: It's all pretty much predictable. As in... EVERYTHING is predictable.
Gordon: Do I really want to watch a family go through a course in 41 minutes?
Jason: No. I don't
Chico: I know I don't. But I'm typing, so... I'm trying to enjoy it, but it's hard. It's perfect for shut-ins, but comparing it to an actual road trip... I'd much rather go on an actual road trip.
Gordon: 2. Nothing new to the table. Where have we seen this before?
Chico: Amazing Race Family Edition.
Jason: Yes...what C said.
Chico: ... Cannonball Run: Race Across America... Only with RVs. Whoopee!
Jason: Yay.
Chico: How about the host, though... Seems like he's winging it.
Jason: He's a comedian...sometimes they do.
Gordon: I thought Reno was ok. i think part of the problem was that he was stuck with the material he was working it.
Jason: That happens
Chico: True. At least he's not dead weight like some hosts.. Bill Weir... Talking to you.
Gordon: lol
Jason: lol
Chico: So any more problems, or are we ready to grade?
Gordon: I'm ready to grade.
Chico: Then forward, sir.

THE GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP - NBC
CHICO GORDON JASON AVERAGE-O-MATIC
C C- NO CABLE C

Gordon: Its nothing new. What they bring to the table isn't awful, but we've seen it before and it's sleep-inducing. C-.
Chico: About right. It's not terrible, but at the same time, it's not memorable. C.
Jason: Since I didn't see it I will pass.
Chico: Probably best. But it's available at NBC.com if you get the internets. And ... oh dear. Seems it's moved to Mondays from Tuesdays. Imagine that.
Jason: One bad night and boom.
Chico: Color it fortunate. Usually a show has one bad night and boom, it's cancelled.
Gordon: It's the Summer. They aren't going to cancel it. Just burn-off.
Chico: On a Monday. Okay, we've had high school... we've had grade school... we've had summer break... now we have the library. Usually, we see six guys doing whatever for money... This week... a turnabout...  The women... of Silent Library...
Jason: Ah.
Gordon: Yay!
Chico: Are they any better than the men? Gordon, with the details, please.
Gordon: Here we go. We have Kaitlyn, Veronicas, Tovah, Kate, Julie and Sarah hanging out with us in the library. The events were less pain and more food related. I also think they are easier. But they were girlie things, like walking in boots loaded with bugs.
Chico: Heh. Gross. So basically, the events of the library reimagined for the fairer sex.
Jason: Gross indeed.
Gordon: It was fair. The women do walk out with $3,000 (or $500 a person), which is not bad.
Chico: No, it's actually pretty good, especially when you consider a team that walked out with $2200.
Jason: Not bad at all
Gordon: Nope. But I know on Jeopardy, you can win much more than $3,000.
Chico: Much more. In fact, I know a lady who won over $50,000.
Gordon: ooooh
Jason: Do tell.
Chico: Alyssa McRae goes into Friday's show having won three games. Going for game #4 against a product manager from Minnesota and a computer engineer from High Point, NC... Which is about an hour and a half from my house in GOOD traffic. Peter Wiscombe, the computer guy... he has $19,200. Almost a runaway, but not quite. Alyssa has $10,800. The clue to decide it in Final Jeopardy! was your standard Friday gimme. The category is "The Calendar".

This US event was set after the harvest, on a day when rural folk could get there without having to travel on Sunday.

Gordon: (Locked in)
Jason: (locks in)
Chico: Your response, J?
Jason: What is Thanksgiving?
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: The correct answer is What is Election Day.
Chico: Correct.
Gordon: Since it's always on a Tuesday.
Chico: Not just any Tuesday, the first Tuesday after the first Monday.
Gordon: And they can get there without traveling on a Sunday (they'd travel on Monday)
Jason: Right.
Gordon: Right. But the REAL answer is... What is North Carolina Wicker Man Day? You know what that day is, right Chico?
Chico: And no, I don't know what Wicker Man Day is.
Gordon: That's the day where they find an old coach who hasn't won enough games or an athlete who didn't go on enough steroids and caused UNC to lose. They kidnap him and stuff him into an old Ramses uniform and light him on fire at the stadium on UNC's campus.
Chico: Okay, now I'm almost ashamed I didn't know that.
Gordon: I thought you were in charge of the kidnapping committee.
Jason: ROFL
Chico: WHYIOUGHTA... That's classified information. So Peter stuffs Alyssa in a costume and lights her on fire, winning the championship and $16,799.
Gordon: DO you think he'd also send her to the Sucker Punch?
Chico: With a mate. At least this week.
Gordon: What do we got on Wipeout this week?
Chico: Because our favorite obstacle course NOT in Japan had couples week. Basically, what happens is that both players on a team have to complete the course together. Take into account the King of the Mountain second stage, and the result is quite hilarious.
Jason: Ouch and double ouch.
Chico: That's the point! Usually the first six people on top will move on to stage 3. But this week, it's the first three couples. So theoretically, you could have SIX people on the mountain, and none of them get through. Add a seventh and hilarity ensues. But where it gets really hairy is the couple vs. couple Wipeout Zone stage.
Gordon: Describe the carnage.
Chico: What happens is that both players will run the course separately and their times are combined. Obstacles include the Aqua Launch, the Raging Rapid, the Crazy Sweeper, and the Turntables.
Chico: Shane & Sally Harris clock in at 12:38.29.
Gordon: We know that the women have had substantially longer times than the guys, traditionally.
Chico: Of course. Anyway, 12:38.29 is the time that Brian & Lori Beth Schwab have to beat.
Jason: Alright
Chico: And before you ask, no they're not related to Howie. Which will come as a great relief to all of us, really.
Gordon: Good
Chico: Brian had 6:48.36. Lori Beth did not have a good start stalled on the launch and overshot the Raging Rapids. She stopped short of the victory in the Turntable phase, so Shane & Sally are your winners.: And no, getting hit by the Crazy Sweeper didn't help. So for their great teamwork, Shane & Sally get... a trophy.
Gordon: $50,000 trophy?


Shane & Sally Harris


Chico: Yep. And Lori Beth gets the dirty rug for quitting twice. Hey Gordon!
Gordon: Yeeeees Chico?
Chico: did you know that the hams were working on their own little Wipeout Course? Everything is miniaturized, but instead of a crazy sweeper, we have Eve on a rotating bar chasing them.
Gordon: I do. You have the golden cage run, the loose cage waddle and Eve in the wrecking back and the feed pool.
Jason: She looks like she is having TOO much fun though.
Gordon: And you wall into the pool of pellets.
Chico: And of course... there are Big Balls. Because it wouldn't be a Wipeout course without Big Balls.
Jason: Not at all.
Chico: I was not told what the balls were made of, but I have an idea.
Gordon: It was fun refurbishing,.
Chico: Alrighty. Let's get the news underway.
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: That's gonna sound great on the radio :-)
Gordon: Sure is. What's the first one.
Chico: First, let's go to the datebook. First entry.

All next week, Jeopardy! is inviting kids to play, while Wheel has one more week to give away a million.

Chico: Anything else?
Gordon: Sure do...

July 17th is Catch It Keep it, where you have people creating contraptions to save prizes from utter disaster.

Jason: Oh boy.

Then on July 19, you have HGTV Design Star and Most Popular

Gordon:
I'm really looking forward to Catch it Keep It, myself.
Chico: Me too. It sounds like a good premise. Use science to win prizes.
Jason: And I hope to see it ...lol
Chico: Science and technology, that is. Okay, next up, a greenlight...

Is Mr. & Mrs. the next British show to invade the US? TV Land is rolling a pilot.

Jason: Yup.
Chico: All we know is that a pilot is being shot in New York City. We don't know if it's been picked up.
Jason: Gotcha.
Chico: On the other end of the country...

We have the pilot of Let's Make a Deal rolling at TV City with Wayne Brady as host.

Jason: This I like. I have seen the pictures.
Chico: Our friends at Hollywood Junket were there.
Jason: And if the report is true from them....this could be REAL good.
Chico: They have pictures, it's basically again, old school meets new school with Wayne Brady hosting.
Gordon: What report do you have?
Chico: Let me bring it up.
Jason: The Hollywood Junket report.
Gordon: Details! We want details, man!
Chico: I'm getting there! Okay, hosting.. Wayne Brady. EPing, Mike Richards, who is EPing the new season of Price when it launches September.
Jason: The set...old school meets modern
Chico: Yep. Best way to go, in my opinion. And in the role of "Jay Stewart" is Jonathan Mangum, who is an old friend of Brady's.
Jason: And the format...UNCHANGED.
Chico: And in the role of Carol Merrill... Drew's favorite LSU grad, Rachel Reynolds.
Jason: They basically are trying to remove the 2003 version from continuity.
Chico: Seems like it. Going back to simple game played simply. Now I've always been a fan of LMAD.
Jason: Me too
Chico: The beauty of this show... as far as non-scripteds go... Is how amazingly scripted it is. You think Monty just went off book all the time? NO! There was a formula!
Gordon: As long as they keep the format the same, they'll have a winner...unlike some people who really screwed themselves this week. Who's up for some blackboards?
Jason: I am!
Chico: READY!

Are YOU Smarter than...Johnny Rodgiruez, who though he could design a knock-off dress and get away with it on The Fashion Show.

Jason: Who did he knock off?
Chico: I don't know, but that dress had Maggie Gyllenhaal written all over it. I want to say it was Lanvin. I know he said the name over and over and over again.
Gordon: We see what Gyllenhaal wore. Then we see Johnny's outfit, and it's the same. Right down to the exact fabric used and the way it was worn. Needless to say, he's gone and doesn't make it to the final 4.
Chico: Nope.
Jason: oops
Chico: There are just some things you don't do... That was one of them.
Gordon: Copying someone is bad. very very bad. So it this...

Are YOU Smarter Than...Wes Hayden, who insists that although everyone says he said he has one, that he has no girlfriend and that him saying that he did is all about 'false editing'.

Gordon: Which again, is something you don't do on a dating show.
Chico: Wow. Where've we seen this defense before... I'll go with... everywhere.
Jason: Wes...you are a media ho. Deal.
Gordon: It seems like Wes didn't realize that the public doesn't like it when you go on a show to peddle yourself.
Chico: No.. REALLY? See Guiney, Bob.
Jason: I am shocked.
Gordon: Oh yes. How is Bob Guiney's CD sales doing?
Chico: It's on life support. They sent for a priest.
Jason: Yup.
Gordon: Who wants some Haterade?
Chico: Me!
Gordon: Now Chico, you are a foodie, right?
Chico: I AM a foodie.
Gordon: If I say John Besh, what does that bring to mind?
Chico: New Orleans cuisine... Lost Next Iron Chef to Mike Symon.
Jason: 5 restaurants
Gordon: So he's a talented guy, right?
Jason: Sure.
Chico: Right. My god, he did something bad, didn't he?
Jason: oh yeah.

Besh forgot to check on his cooking eggs, which didn't cook. So when he presented the eggs, he himself was cooked to the tune of receiving, out of 5 stars... 1/2 star.

Chico: Ew. Basically, he served food that couldn't be eaten.
Jason: Raw, With a burnt grease taste
Gordon: Serving raw eggs is not exactly a good way to get tips.
Chico: No.
Gordon: It's a good way to go to the hospital, where you'll get Fully Loaded with penicillin.
Jason: ewwwww. hic
Chico: Are you kidding? We're going to have to break out the heavy duty stuff... Tobramycin on that junk. So. Here's what we have this week...

1 vs. 100 is adding the UK to its beta group and it's starting to give away actual prizes. And Microsoft is considering charging for it. Or, rather, they're refusing to rule it out.

Jason: Interesting. How much though?
Chico: They had no comment. Season 1 is still free for Gold subscribers.
Jason: Which I am one.
Gordon: Cool... You think they could get 100 Media Hoes up there?
Chico: Probably. Would they all fit on a couch?
Jason: Maybe.
Gordon: They could. What couchy stuff do you have this week?
Chico: This week, I've got the Biggest Loser.
