Rob: The Dresden Dolls are fantastic.
Jason: Nice. I checked out their webpage. What is their music like?
Gordon: Its Goth Rock
Jason: Ok
Gordon: Alt-Goth Rock, wouldn't you say, Rob?
Rob: Pretty much, Gordon. I pretty much have all of their songs.
Gordon: While Gabriel and Dresden are Euroclub DJs
Rob: I just want to pick up their Paradise DVD.
Gordon: They've done some great remixes of songs. Unfortunately, there are no Dresden references in this game. However, we do have instant Bargains and Trivia Questions. Wanna play?
Rob: Sure.
Jason: Yeah baby!
Chico: Why not?
Gordon: It's time for...The Blame Game!
Chico: Bring out the board!
Jason: This is my favorite game!

Gordon: Oh, and we have...something special...ooooh.
Jason: Sorry gents...this one is mine.
Chico: We'll see jerky :)
Gordon: Since Jason tied the last one, he goes first.
Jason: Lucky 7
Gordon: 7 is.... a trivia question. Hands on buzzers.

I was born January 6, 1970 in NYC. I have made appearances in a number of places, including Veronica Mars and Yes Dear, but I am known more for hosting. I am the host of a long time running reality show that is in it's 8th season...

Rob: Buzz
Gordon: Robert
Rob: Slipped

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Out of the question. Continuing...
Chico: (BUZZER)
Gordon: Chico
Chico: Julie Chen?
Gordon: Right!
Jason: Or Julie Chen-Moonves
Rob: She's only 37?
Gordon: Yep
Rob: Gosh, Plastic surgery does wonders.
Chico: Yep
Gordon: Amazing, ain't it. It makes you look older, too.
Jason: No kidding.
Chico: She really is more machine than man.
Jason: lol
Rob: She's probably a robot.
Gordon: Now Chico, is Chen-Bot to blame for Big Brother's slipping ratings?
Chico: Nope. Lack of compelling characters is. There's no one you want to root for. No one you want to remember.
Jason: BUZZ
Gordon: Jason?
Jason: You also remember the jump the shark all-star season...ALL STAR SEASONS NEVER WORK!
Rob: Buzz
Gordon: Rob?
Rob: It's because the premise of the game hasn't changed in years. There
hardly has been a big change, like survivor.
Chico: Sure it has. It changed once. =p
Gordon: I actually agree with someone. The person who I agree with is....Rob.

Gordon: Chico, you select
Chico: 4 for Bobby Orr.
Gordon: 4...question

I was born in 1945 in San Francisco, CA. According to IMDB.Com, I have worked on only two shows my entire life. The first one was as a production assistant on The Match Game. The second one was also as an production assistant, but I worked my way up to a producer position...

Jason: buzz
Gordon: Jason
Jason: Roger Dobkowitz
Gordon: Right!
Jason: WooT!
Gordon: is Roger to blame for this infernal Bob Barker replacement search?
Jason: Hell no. This is all on CBS/Fremantle's idiot way of handling for day 1.
Chico: Nope. The incredibly shallow pool created by CBS and Fremantle is.
Jason: They have really blown this.
Rob: It all comes back to one name, David Price. If he hadn't sucked major eggs, he would have gotten the gig, without question. But since he blew, we had a meat parade of potential hosts for the past 10 months.
Gordon: You're all right, in one aspect or another.

Gordon: Jason, you select
Jason: Numbah 1.
Gordon: 1...question

I was born October 8, 1980 in San Diego, CA...

Jason: BUZZ
Gordon: Jason
Jason: JD Roth
Gordon: So JD hosted Fun House when he was 8?
Chico: He was 19, Jason!
Jason: oops :)

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Continuing on...

I am in acting (I will be in the Day of the Dead movie as a lead) and as a host, I got my first gig on a show called Mission:Makeover. I did move up from there and got my own show. I have created a number of shows for both Nickelodeon and MTV...

Rob: Buzz
Gordon: Robert
Rob: Ashton Kutcher
Gordon: Noooooo

(BUZZ)

Gordon: And Chico gets the rest of the question all to himself.

My most famous shows have been Underclassman, Short Curcuitz and Wild 'N' Out. I am Nick...

Chico: (BUZZER)
Gordon: Chico?
Chico: Mr. Renaissance, Nick Cannon.
Gordon: That is correct (DING) Can we blame Nick for the fact that he is now 1-6 for this season, including a beat down at the hands of Brooke Hogan?
Chico: Well, to be honest, I blame the lineup. I've seen the team lineups. Can you say stacked?
Rob: Buzz
Gordon: Robert?
Rob: Redman was probably high throughout the entire show and Brooke Hogan would have sic'ed Hulk and his crew of washed up 80s wrestlers on Nick Cannon if she lost. So, he threw that match.
Jason: BUZZ
Gordon: Jason
Jason: As we discussed last week, the loss of Nyima Funk and Katt Williams has made Nick's team very weak.
Gordon: I was watching a season 2 marathon and remembered just how good Katt and Nyima were and how green Mikey Day was. Point - Jason

Gordon: Chico, your selection.
Chico: Numma 9, peeze.
Gordon: 9...oh Chico...
Chico: Oh god...
Gordon: It's the Home Shopping Zone!
Chico: HA!
Rob: God, where's Craig Vandeberg when you need him.
Gordon: You've just spent 10 points on THIS!

It's new! It's marvelous! It's an Unan1mous marble sorter! Take your glass marbles and throw it down this Unan1mous contraption, because that's really the only thing it can do right now.

Jason: lol

It's normally valued at $69,069, but on The Blame Game, you just bought it for 10 points!

Chico: I bet half of it came from the National Bingo Night set.
Rob: I wouldn't put it past them.
Gordon: Probably did. Don't you feel proud to own it?
Chico: Yes I do. I have a ton of marbles and I need a new and more creative way to lose them all! :)
Gordon: You still have marbles?
Chico: On second thought, I lost them a long time ago.

Gordon: Your choice, sir
Chico: Okay, let's go... Money card behind.... 3
Gordon: behind #3...question
Chico: No, no question, money card :)
Gordon: So sorry.
Chico: FIne, question...

I was founded in 1969 as a shipping company. The creators of me included Anders Wilhelmsen & Company, I.M. Skaugen & Company, and Gotaas Larsen

Jason: buzz
Gordon: Jason
Jason: Endemol
Gordon: Incorrect.

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Good guess though. Continuing on...

We advanced our development, and in 1972, the Song of Norway was the first one we launched. We added 4 more ships in the 1980s, but business started to boom in 1986...

Chico: (BUZZER)
Gordon: Chico
Chico: Royal Norwegian Cruise Lines?
Gordon: Incorrect

(BUZZ)

Chico: Darn.
Gordon: and Rob gets the rest of the question all to himself.

...where we bought coastal property in Haiti for use as a private destination for its guests. We now have our cruise ships in Freedom, Voyager Sovereign and Empire class, and we are one of the main advertisers to National Bingo Night. We compete AGAINST Royal Norwegian Cruise Line, because we were here first. We are Royal...

Gordon: Robert?
Rob: I don't know.
Chico: *headdesk*

(BUZZ)

Gordon: Chico or Jason?
Jason: BUZZ
Gordon: Jason
Jason: Royal Caribbean
Gordon: Thats it. No points. Gordon: But a bonus anyways. Are they to blame for the revival of NBN?
Jason: You bet.
Chico: No. The Internet is.
Rob: The people watching and playing at home are to blame. Plus most of them just tune in to see the referee say NO BINGO! It's this generation's version of Da Plane, Da Plane. It's a craptacular show, craptacular game.
Jason: If you didn't have the sponsors to pay for them, then the players wouldn't play.
Gordon: I'll agree with all of you again. 5 for everybody.

Gordon: Chico, you're still in control
Chico: I'll try this again...Money card behind...... 5
Gordon: behind 5...question
Chico: Walk it off, Chico.. Walk it off.
Gordon: Chico, you suck at this

I was born July 4, 1930 in Rocky River, Ohio...

Jason: BUZZ
Gordon: Jason
Jason: Jerry Springer
Gordon: Fast buzzing has not helped you in the past, has it?
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: It's not going to help you here, either

(BUZZ)

Jason: Oh well.
Gordon: Continuing...

I have only played the roles of myself, but I have been a staple on Seinfeld. I made my way into reality television in 2004, when I was on The Apprentice...

Rob: Buzz
Gordon: Robert
Rob: George Steinbrenner?
Gordon: Right!
Chico: Man, I was going to say that.
Rob: Pays to own season 1 on DVD.
Gordon: It does. Here's the 5 point bonus. Some of the trade papers are saying that Steinbrenner made a call to NBC and campaigned for Donald Trump's show to come back for another season. Is he the reason why The Apprentice got the renewal?
Rob: He may be a reason but not the reason.
Chico: Nope. NBC needs programming on the cheap. Donald needs an outlet to get his face on TV. It all worked out in the end.
Rob: The show is still viable, however the credibility of that show has been shot because of the Rosie/Trump spat and the declining of interesting characters that made Season 1 and 2. NBC has enough programming. DOND, 1 Vs. 100, The Office, L&O, among others. Plus they got Football.
Jason: Nope. The fact is Ben Silverman is the reason why.
Gordon: None of NBC's programming has cracked the Top 15. Chico and Jason get 5 each

Gordon: BUT Rob is in control. Behind 2 of the numbers are point cards.
Behind one is the last question and I throw the points out.
Rob: Let's start with 2
Gordon: 2 is...10 point card!

Rob: 8
Gordon: 8 is...the last question. Since the last question is always worth 25 points, whoever gets this one wins the game. The 5 point bonus will mean nothing.  Good luck.
Chico: The tension mounts. Oh, what a feeling

I was born in March 30, 1971. I was not born in the US, though. I made it to this country, and after getting fame internationally, I made my way to prime time television. Although I played a cameo appearance in a well known episode in Road Rules history, I made more of my fame by being in shows such as All My Children. My prime time break came in the form of a show on NBC called Friends, where I made a cameo appearance. Now I am back on NBC but as a Host on a show that is based around The Age of Love...

Chico: (BUZZER!!!!)
Gordon: Chico
Chico: Mark Consuelos?
Gordon: Right!

(DING DING DING DING DING)

Chico: *fist pump*
Jason: Damn Damn Damn
Rob: God, shows I don't watch.
Gordon: Not my fault. You guys saves him for last, lol. Is Marc Consuelos to blame for this mess?
Chico: Hmm. .. with the host, the format, the hussies, and the mark, there's enough blame to go around.
Gordon: Ill accept it. Final scores...

Gordon: Jason has been dethroned. Im sure he'll want blood next time. Chico, the floor is yours for the next 20 seconds. Go.
Chico: You know how I've been ready for The Bachelor to leave?
Gordon: Yes
Chico: I'm ready for Big Brother to follow.
Gordon: lol
Chico: Big Brother... it's time for you to go. You don't have to go back to Holland, but you can't play here no mo'.
Gordon: And with that, we head on to The Big FInish - after the break...

(Brought to you by Stuff of Love... Watch as one man gets to decide who his dream date will be... by the stuff that's on her wish list!)

Gordon: lol
Rob: If one of those women has The Dresden Dolls on that list, I select her immediately.
Chico: Box set?
Gordon: Nice!
Rob: They only made 3 albums, so sure.
Gordon: I want the one with a Boxed Set  (and I dont mean of Dresden Doll albums) :)
Jason: lol
Chico: Time to wrap this up in a box with the Big Finish. This week is Without Prejudice. Watching?
Jason: Hell...yes.
Rob: Absolutely.
Gordon: Should be fun. Can't wait for it.
Jason: You are damn right. This is must see TV.
Gordon: Set For Life starts this week - you watching that, too?
Jason: No.
Rob: For curiosity sake.
Chico: Hmmm... why not, it's something right? I have to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Gordon: It's a really bad sign when you see zero advertising for it
Chico: Not even during "American Inventor"
Gordon: At least we saw advertising for Bingo.
Chico: Not even during "The Next Best Thing"
Gordon: Next Best Thing finals...who you got?
Chico: Who's in the final?
Gordon: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley (2), Robin Williams, Little Richard, Barbra Streisand, Paris Hilton, Lucille Ball, George Bush, Tina Turner
Chico: Gotta go with the Chairman... Frank Sinatra.
Gordon: Paris, thats hot.
Jason: Oh boy.
Gordon: Will either Man-Kira or Kashif get to the finals of AGT?
Rob: No
Chico: One, but not both.
Jason: Man-Kira will.
Gordon: VOTE FoR Man-KIRAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAAAA
Chico: Well, is there any mail in the bag on your end?
Gordon: No. I blame the downed system.
Chico: I also blame the downed system...
Gordon: We do have some cool congratulation mails from the people who saw our WLTI site on MySpace.
Jason: Awesome.
Rob: Always good to know.
Gordon: You can email us at wlti@gamsehownewsnet.com, or go to our myspace page at http://myspace.com/wltiongsnn
Chico: It's also a useful tool to get your game news from us when stuff like this happens. As I've learned the hard way this week. Big thanks to Jason, Josh, and Rob for hanging out this week...
Rob: You're welcome, you Coin-Operated Boy you.
Chico: Hopefully we'll be able to put all of this on site once our coin-operated FTP decides not to be a certain part of the male anatomy. For Gordon Pepper and everyone at Game Show Newsnet, I'm Chico Alexander, and until next time...
Gordon: Game Over - and spread the love.
Chico: Always.
