Episode 18.6
July 14

Chico: CAESAR SAYS... STOP.
Gordon: Its it worth a million dollars?
Jason: I hope not.
Chico: Are you kidding? She'll be lucky if she wins her dignity back.
Gordon: And speaking of Dignity....WLTI Court is back in session. The less-than-honorable judge Gordon Pepper presiding. ORDER IN MY COURT!
Jason: I'll have an Irish Pancake!
Chico: Here come da judge... here come da judge... order in the courtroom, here come da judge.
Jason: Thank you Flip Alexander
Chico: Anytime. First up on the docket, the People vs... Tila Tequila.
Jason: GUILTY! Sorry.
Chico: Due process, J.... Due process.
Jason: Go on.

	ACCUSED: Tila Tequila CHARGE: Excessive media-ho-ing, disturbing the peace
	CHAIRMAN	HATERADE	THE BLOCK	DOUGHNUT	VERDICT
	GUILTY	GUILTY	GUILTY	GUILTY	GUILTY

Chico: The charge: Excessive media ho-ing without a license and disturbing the peace
Don: GUILTY!
Jason: Seriously. Guilty. She has an album, a book coming out, and she is going to do Season 3...no matter what she claims now.
Chico: Guilty as sin.
Jason: GUILTY.
Gordon: Does it even need to be said? GUILTY! The sentence?
Chico: Tila is forced to make a Facebook account with a bunch of apps that she doesn't really care about.
Gordon: I like Chico's answer. JUSTICE!
Jason: JUSTICE!
Chico: Next case?
Gordon: Next one... Accused: The American Public
Chico: GUILTY... Sorry. Go on.

	ACCUSED: The American Public CHARGE: intoxication Via Overdose of Tequila
	CHAIRMAN	HATERADE	THE BLOCK	DOUGHNUT	VERDICT
	GUILTY	GUILTY	GUILTY	GUILTY	GUILTY

Gordon: Sure, Tila is guilty, but shouldn't some of the blame go here, too?
Chico: Yes. Particularly with the young folk who get off on younger folk in skimpy clothing bitching. GUILTY!
Jason: Again sadly, GUILTY. These kids love the nakedness and faux lesbianism. Because I honestly do not believe she likes the cat :-)
Don: If they keep watching her, she's not going away. Guilty. :/
Gordon: I'll just say this. If you all don't watch. We don't have to worry about the faux-reality shenannigans. Unfortunately, you do, and so we get more of it. GUILTY! Sentence?
Chico: We have to continue watching... until the end of time.
Gordon: Lovely thought. Next case?
Chico: Next case...

	ACCUSED: Horizon Media CHARGE: The charge: leaping to conclusions.
	CHAIRMAN	HATERADE	THE BLOCK	DOUGHNUT	VERDICT
	NOT GUILTY	NOT GUILTY	GUILTY	NOT GUILTY	NOT GUILTY

Jason: Evidence?
Chico: Their claim: "America's Toughest Jobs" and "Opportunity Knocks" are both expected to fail come fall.
Jason: Their accuracy is about as accurate as the people who analyze the NBA or NFL Draft. Guilty.
Gordon: Where are they airing on the schedule in the Fall?
Chico: Opportunity Knocks: 8p Tuesday on ABC.
Gordon: Which is against House, The Biggest Loser and NCIS
Chico: Yes, yes, and yes. America's Toughest Jobs... Friday at 8p on NBC.
Gordon: ATJ goes up against Ghost Whisperer, Wife Swap, and 5th Grader. I completely agree with Horizon Media here. Not Guilty.
Don: Up against some big shows. They may be on to something here. Not guilty.
Chico: Oh yeah.
Jason: Well, I am out voted LOL
Chico: They're pretty much throwaway slots. Not guilty.
Gordon: Horizon Media is free to go. next one...

	ACCUSED: Golden-Road.net CHARGE: Inciting a Riot
	CHAIRMAN	HATERADE	THE BLOCK	DOUGHNUT	VERDICT

Jason: Oh boy.
Chico: I believe a plea of "no contest" is in order.
Jason: Evidence?
Gordon: The site, although graciously taking a high road, has been the venting point of people who are convinced that TPIR's days are numbered. Is this just excessive panic or is this the end of TPIR as we know it?
Chico: I'll go for panic.
Jason: Guilty. I am sorry, but their reactions were a tad presumptuous. They need to realize that spreading rumors do not help a panicked fanbase.
Chico: And again, I think a vote of "no contest" is in order. They provided the medium, but not necessarily the furor.
Jason: But some of the people within the community were involved. They shut down the site for 3 days...overreaction, maybe?
Gordon: I'm torn here. This is a VERY touchy subject. I think that an 18% drop in demographical ratings is concerning - but I don't think that firing Roger is the answer. Yet I don't blame Golden Road. I blame the overzealous Fan Boys who shoot first and ask questions later. Not Guilty.
Chico: Don? Thoughts?
Don: Being a member there myself, I didn't panic, but I did see plenty of others panicking. They had their reasons for closing off most of the site for the weekend, though... http://www.golden-road.net/index.php?topic=7668.0
Jason: I read their reasons.
Don: I'm also torn, to be honest. I gotta go with Gordon, here. Not guilty.
Chico: Two guilty... two not guilty... We have... A HUNG JURY! *plays "She Bangs"*
Jason: Haven't heard that one in a while.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next one... The producers of Wipeout... The charge... everyone say it with me now...

	ACCUSED: The producers of Wipeout CHARGE: MAKIN' COP-AAAAAAYS
	CHAIRMAN	HATERADE	THE BLOCK	DOUGHNUT	VERDICT

Gordon: What do we got, Daddy?
Chico: Spike is calling out Wipeout for copying MXC's obstacles, presentation style, and overall badassery.
Don: Even when I first saw the promos, I was immediately reminded of MXC. I like the show, but I gotta say GUILTY.
Chico: I have to say that the two are similar... but whereas one is played up for laughs, the second... is all real. Besides, I don't see no castle at the end. not guilty.
Jason: Similar, but not the same. Not Guilty.
Gordon: The end is different, but we get people wiping out for the sake of doing impossible tasks. Seems similar to me. GUILTY!
Chico: We have another... (WILLIAM) HUNG JURY... *plays "She Bangs"*
Gordon: Last one...

	ACCUSED: Mark Burnett CHARGE: Reneging on a deal
	CHAIRMAN	HATERADE	THE BLOCK	DOUGHNUT	VERDICT
	NOT GUILTY	NOT GUILTY	NOT GUILTY	NOT GUILTY	NOT GUILTY

Gordon: Burnett's ex-partner Conrad Riggs says that Burnett owes him 7 figures - up to 10% worth
Chico: That's a lot of figures. But where's the proof?
Jason: Exactly.
Gordon: Remember kids, when you get into a business deal with someone, GET THE AGREEMENT IN WRITING. Not Guilty.
Chico: No proof. No case. Not guilty.
Don: Not guilty.
Gordon: So we have a mix this time around. We'll see what the next game holds for us - right after this....

Jason: How about Catch-21
Gordon: Related to a show Alfonso Ribiero is hosting
Chico: Bingo. AND the day it's premiering
Jason: 07/21 for Catch 21.
Chico: I can stand to miss the GSN bumpers for it. Catch a Game? What're they thinking?

Jason: What's his 2nd show?
Chico: He's going to be the voice over for "Smash Lab"
Jason: Very cool.
Chico: Very cool indeed. Now if we can get him his own Emmy so he can stop sharing the shows' with the producers... Those fingerprints are hard to clean. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

25

Jason: The upcoming Jeopardy Anniversary?
Gordon: Nope
Chico: The audience of people still watching Temptation?
Gordon: Nope. That's the new number of CBS Media Hoes we get this week (Big Brother = 13, Greatest American Dog = 12)
Jason: LOL
Chico: Wouldn't that be 37? You forgot to count the dogs. Right? Right?
Jason: Right.
Gordon: They are not hoes. Just bitches.
Jason: Ah :~)
Chico: Next one...

18.35

Gordon: Total Audience combined who saw game shows at 10pm
Jason: The number of Millions of people who watched America's Got Talent?
Chico: No, but you're thinking. That is... a box of Jelly Bellys, Jolly Time popcorn, a jar of Mt. Olive pickles, Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls, and Pompeian olive oil.. as guessed by Pauline Prouix.
Chico: On last Friday's TPIR.
Jason: Oh yeah.
Chico: The actual price... $18.35.
Jason: Perfection!
Chico: Second time in history that that's happened'
Gordon: Last one...

Chico: Aaron Schroeder's paycheck?
Jason: The amount of Money Aaron won over 6 days
Gordon: Yep.
Jason: Nice bunch of chings.
Chico: Six figures of ching. And maybe a ticket to Vegas.
Gordon: Not bad at all. That ends the Numbers segment of the show. We'll be speeding to the end - after this.

(Brought to you by London West Hollywood... If you want to see the game-winning delicacies of Christina Machamer, go here... if you want to drink Louis Petrozza's sweat... you're better off going to Grizzlebee's around the corner)

Jason: Yuck.
Chico: Yuck indeed
Gordon: Yuck...but let's hit the Speed Round Running. Time starts...now!
Chico: Who's going to be the first person out the Big Brother house?
Gordon: Bye Renny. Will we see another $100,000 winner on Jeopardy this season?
Chico: Ten shows left. I doubt it.

Gordon: Lots of new shows this week. Which one are you looking the most forward to?
Jason: Project Runway!
Gordon: Ill go with Reality Strikes Back

Gordon: Ill go with Reality Strikes Back I will - and you will read our email...starting with... Daniel Benfield - Letter for the Season!

DANIEL BENFIELD SEASONAL LETTER
EPISODE #2: MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD

Gordon: I think the producers of the show will make it fit if the contestant wins a million.

Jason: Um...wrong. 0 is 0.
Chico: Jason FTW.
Jason: You lose, you lose.
Gordon: Sorry Daniel, but I'm disagreeing with you here. Everyone gets one shot here. Unless you get returning champs, $0 is $0. Just ask Robby Roseman.
Jason: You don't get a cookie for just trying, right G?
Gordon: Correct. Maybe a Fear Factor worm cookie. Next email?
Chico: Next is from Karen Kehoe. Thanks, Karen!

Chico: Thanks, Karen. Well, two things... 1) as explained in the first episode, "Majide" is a derelict that means "You gotta be crazy!" As in "... to do this stuff."
Jason: Right.
Chico: And 2) There's a good reason that you and your waitresses have never heard of this show, and that is, and we've gone over this before... It doesn't exist.
Gordon: 'Maji' meaning 'Are You Serious' and De added on to make it derogatory.
Chico: It's a fictitious show-within-a-show, played for real, basically the sum total of every stereotypical Japanese crazy game show
Jason: Not as crazy as the Spanish show, El Gran Juego de La Oca. But close.
Chico: I smell SEQUEL!
Jason: That is my all time fav Spanish show.
Gordon: Mine is Llevatelo. I miss you, Paco Stanley :-(
Chico: Thanks for writing, Karen. More mail?
Gordon: Thats all I got - u?
Chico: There's one more mail, but there's not enough time for it, so we'll put it in the hopper for next time. Meanwhile, if people want to talk to us, they can a) scream out into the night sky and hope that we're listening... probably won't work. b) e-mail us at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com... probably will work. c) Visit us on Myspace.. We're at www.myspace.com/wltiongsnn.
Jason: Both will work.
Gordon: There you go. That ends the show this week. Special thanks to Jason Block and Don Harpwood for joining us.
Chico: For Gordon and everyone at Game Show Newsnet, I'm Chico Alexander. Until next week... Game over... and spread the love. :-)
