Chico: I'm Chico Alexander... and now... a moment for class... *puts on fancy monocle* Ahem... "Two houses both alike in dignity.... "  BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Gordon: (Comes out in Romeo Montague outfit) A rose by any other name has never smellt so sweet.
Chico: ... and now I'm disturbed. :-)
Gordon: Not yet. you'll be disturbed when I say...come out, Jason!
Jason: (Comes out as Juliet Capulet) HELLO!
Chico: AND I JUST THREW UP IN MY MOUTH A LITTLE.
Gordon: I think Jason looks exquisite in that lovely white flowing gown and train.
Jason: And the blond wig.
Gordon: Oh, yes. The blond wig is to die for.
Jason: Borrowed it from Heidi Klum :-)
Chico: There's a story that goes with that, but not now.
Jason: Right.
Chico: Right now, from somewhere in America... We Lovest to Interrupt....  ist... onith!
Jason: Forsooth!
Gordon: Yayeth! Gordon and Chico here, along with special guest Mr. Jason Block.
Jason: (bows)
Chico: Anyway, we've got a lot to go over, including what Big Brother did right that Ass House did wrong... But first..  see what I did there?
Jason: I did. But we do have BREAKING NEWS
Gordon: (Takes Skull and breaks glass)
Chico: Breaking news from this afternoon, believe it or not. Now we were ready to go and sweep Steven Tyler into the media hoes for later in the show, no problem. But then, as I was enjoying a lunch of a Rosemary Chicken Tomato panini... I get a news break that now JENNIFER LOPEZ is out on Idol.
Jason: That's two. And the rumor is Randy MAY be out as well. But let's concentrate on the two.
Chico: Right.
Jason: The conventional wisdom choices may be the best choices out there.
Chico: Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.. not too keen on being bogged down on the Idol. they want to be out performing. And I can understand that... Jennifer more than Steven, but that's just PR talking.
Jason: No...Steven I get. Aerosmith has a new album.
Gordon: Well I can understand that for a few reasons - the big one of course, is that if the ratings go down, so does the contract.
Chico: Yeah. I actually have an item from Deadline... and I says, and now I'm quoting... *puts back on monocle*

"As one of her insiders tells Deadline, 'She wants to do movies. She's expecting her team to deliver... I think she's off and it's mutual. They're not inviting her back so quickly. Not because they're unhappy with her, but because she wants a lot of |?| ing money"

Chico: Gordon, what does it say on the It Board? She can't get a lot of blanking money so long as the show isn't making the beaucoup bucks it used to.
Gordon: Putting on the cynical bastard hat, it means that she wants money that the producers don't feel she'd be worth in getting a return. Keep in mind the ratings have been dropping between 15-20% the past 2 years they've been on the show.
Jason: Gordon is 100% right. If you can get say an Adam Lambert for $2M a year over STeven Tyler for 5-6.....?
Gordon: So either the people are sick of the show - or they are sick of the judges. Either way, you need a change.
Jason: This is a very needed reboot.
Gordon: Now here's the question - are the people who are rumored to be the replacements any better?
Chico: I think it's time for a Big Board.

Chico: The Subject: American Judging Idol. You have some of the names, G?
Gordon: I have some. you tell me if it's better or worse. We start with... Mariah Carey
Chico: Better.
Jason: Better big time.
Chico: This has been a get for a long time, and being one of the biggest artists on the planet, the show's begging for her expertise.
Jason: It HAS to be done.
Gordon: She is HUGE. That would get eyeballs at probably a fraction of what J-Lo wants.
Chico: Precisely. What about will.i.am? He's already a coach on "The Voice UK" for BBC One.
Gordon: Good, but not necessary if you have Carey
Chico: I want to say good, but not Mariah Carey good.
Jason: Thats 2nd tier.
Chico: Right.
Jason: But would get the younger eyeballs.
Gordon: I don't know about that. He's a good insider musician.
Jason: I have a name. Adam Lambert
Gordon: You'd WANT to say yes, but let's face it. The people who are watching the show are already his fans. He's not going to attract any new eyeballs.
Chico: Yeah, but he's dirt cheap... he knows what the contestants are going through so his advice is worth a lot more. But as you said, he won't bring in any new fans.
Gordon: I think the bigger concern is the ratings.
Jason: Exactly. Double edged sword
Chico: Right. So what about... a Katy Perry? I don't think it's a good move, especially given that her movie didn't do so well. We may be living in the end times vis-a-vis Katy Perry.
Gordon: Again, don't need her if you have Mariah, but that would be fun. I just don't see her drawing eyeballs. You also need a 'realist' judge. something you didn't have for the past 2 years. They need a Howard Stern type.
Chico: Right.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: Okay.. Nicki Minaj... not real enough. Miley Cyrus... not experienced enough. And Fergie... well... she DID host "Great Pretenders" for the former Fox Family Channel. Back when she was just some chick named Stacy.
Gordon: You're also aiming way too young. You need someone broader and older. A position of music authority who's not afraid to speak his or her mind. And I know this is out of left field - but why not a Quentin Tarrantino type?
Chico: I'm going to suggest something crazy and that probably won't even be entertained. If you're going to start over... start ALL THE WAY over.
Jason: Simon?
Chico: Two unknown insiders/execs, and a pop tart. I'll settle for Jimmy Iovine judging.
Gordon: I wouldn't.
Chico: But my idea? Starting ALL THE WAY over?
Jason: Jimmy Iovine is a good choice
Gordon: He's not because he's too acidic in nature.
Chico: He'd be like Simon plus. But at least he'd tell you the truth.
Gordon: UNKNOWN Means unknown. Starting over isn't bad. It's a matter of being able to do it and hoping the audience doesn't continue to erode
Chico: Or, you could, you know.. make the show about the contestants and the talents instead of hyping the spectacle. Just an idea.
Gordon: The key isn't the judges. the key is the TALENT. As we have seen the past few years, the judges havent been that good at it. Maybe we need new judges.
Chico: Maybe so. Because they've been all yo-yo, I've got goosies hip to the hop flip to the flop, who the hell understands that?
Jason: All I know is when I watch American Idol, I am looking for the teeny bopper guitar guy they are going to vote for.
Chico: One more of those and they'll cancel the series =p
Gordon: They won't unless it's one more Philip Phillips or Lee DeWyze. But again, if you know Hot Guy With Guitar wins, MAKE SURE you have a TALENTED hot guy with guitar.
Chico: BTW, we'll keep you apprised of any news about the judging panel as it comes.
Jason: Yes we will.
Chico: Speaking of.... we had a shortage of hot guys, guitars, AND talent this week.



Jason: And this week was awful.
Chico: Back to week 2 of the quarterfinals. HOW AWFUL WAS IT?
Jason: It was so awful that this was a week of WHO SUCKED LESS.
Gordon: Let's put it THIS way. Big Barry was NOT the worst one this week.
Chico: I can tell you who the worst one of the week was. But we've got a process, so let's play. First up, LionDanceMe liondancesthemselves to Avicii's "Levels".
Jason: I was bored. Jump. YAWN
Chico: If the best thing you can say about this act is "At least they didn't fall"... then you've got issues.
Gordon: Again, what are the 3 rules of performing in the Top 48?
Chico: Raise your game. Do something different...
Jason: Have them wanting more.
Gordon: Lion Dance Me did...none of those
Chico: Right! So they're lost. And gone. FOREVER. Turf on the other hand made an honest go at it popping and stretching to BEP's "Imma Be'. This is one of those acts that only does one thing, but they do it really really well.
Jason: I didn't like it...but the people did.
Gordon: I wasn't a big fan, but he does have the back story, and let's face it, no one did better, with the exception of 1 person
Chico: Right. We'll get to that one person. and I know who that one person was. Meanwhile, we go to hands down.. the worst act of the night... The All Ways singing Lady Gaga, "Telephone".
Jason: No...they were screaming it.
Chico: I wanted to throw a brick into my TV set, but then I remembered that I like my TV set and it's an expensive TV set, so I threw a brick at my head instead.
Gordon: THIS would be the worst act of the night.
Jason: OUCH
Chico: And surprisingly no one buzzed it. I would've given my buzzer a workout.
Gordon: This was god-awful. My eardrums didn't want a telephone. They wanted a TTY
Jason: DAMN. That's cold.
Chico: I wanted to turn my telephone off. Get off my TV and stay off. Now Hawley Magic balances a leggy assistant on a sword... right before impaling her with it. Yes, it's pretty. Yes, she's pretty.
Jason: Seen that MANY TIMES OVER. When I was 5.
Chico: Yes it's dangerous and probably should not be attempted everything everywhere... Except... it was attempted EVERYWHERE!
Gordon: I wasn't really paying attention to the magic. I think that was the idea of the act. make us stare at the female and forget that this is a parlor trick.
Chico: Well DUH. =p. Aurora Light Painters... well, they at least stepped their game up. They made their light paintings come alive.
Jason: Good, but not good enough.
Chico: Basically. They did what they had to do, but they didn't do enough of it.
Gordon: As I said a few weeks ago, this just doesn't translate well to TV.
Chico: And in the quarters, you don't sell yourself short. You NEVER sell yourself short at any time, but this is the first phase where you're being judged against everyone else. They tried to make it translate to TV and it would've worked if they did more of it. It needed more.
Gordon: It needed more visual.
Jason: Yes it did.
Chico: Danielle Stallings sang Bruno Mars' "It Will Rain". Again, good but not good enough.
Gordon: Not a good song choice at all.
Chico: It was more high school talent show and less NBC talent show.
Jason: It wasn't good at all. Not to me.
Gordon: It was too big and she didn't hit the range.,
Chico: I've tried singing the song on my way to work, it's too big for ME. =p It's a BIG SONG. Lisa Clark Dancers. They just did their thing on stage. It didn't really tell much of a story as it just showed off. In that, I didn't get it. Howie didn't get it.
Jason: Yeah. Good but not good enough(see the theme here)
Chico: I see the theme here.
Gordon: Well here's the problem. Technically, it was excellent. There was ZERO story.
Jason: Bingo
Chico: Exactly.
Gordon: Just standing around and doing tricks is NOT enough, You have to suck the viewer in and tell a story. The LCD didn't do that.
Chico: There was nothing unifying the whole ordeal. It was just "Let's show off" and Howie ... much to Stern's chagrin, called them on that.
Gordon: Speaking of ordeals...next?
Chico: Next is our repeat offender couple.. Donovan and Rebecca.
Jason: They deserved to be in the next round
Chico: Having conquered England with their aerial act, they're taking on America.
Gordon: Nepotism time!
Chico: Aerial acts with couples are very sensual. And the two Howards put them in over Danielle. Something about sex in air to Snow Patrol.
Gordon: It's the right move I thought.
Chico: Agreed.
Jason: Yes sir
Chico: Next... speaking of sex... BIG BARRY!
Jason: Howard was 100% right here.
Chico: Surrounded by women singing "Feeling Good".
Jason: He should have literally kicked Howie's butt.
Chico: I wish he would've.
Gordon: That was an ordeal, per se.
Chico: I wish he would've kicked Big Barry's butt.
Gordon: See, the women saved the show. I was hoping that the audience would have voted them through and we could just see them meander around the stage for 2 minutes.
Jason: NO THANK YOU.
Chico: I'd have to agree with Gordon. But then again, i like women. So.
Jason: I like women too.  But I don't like Big Barry
Chico: Tom Cotter did a stand up act.
Jason: Which was very good.
Chico: It was funny. I like the observational humor. You can relate to that. It makes the connection.
Gordon: It was - and again, one of the few acts that had a clean performance.
Chico: Ben Blaque shot his arrows off at a rose. And then at balloons.
Gordon: Quite simple - didn't elevate his game
Chico: I'll go one better... wasn't a million dollar act to begin with. How many ways can you shoot a crossbow?
Jason: Exactly. Yawntastically bad
Gordon: I think it could be if he had other weapons to his disposal and he did something besides just putting a lady in peril
Chico: How about shooting daggers from that crossbow, buddy.
Gordon: bow and arrow, gun, my wit, etc.
Chico: And finally... the act of the night in that it didn't totally suck.. Tim Hockenwinner with Katy Perry's "Part of Me". Slowed down for him.
Gordon: Winner Hockenberry.
Jason: Best act of the night. Very good stuff.
Chico: Hands down.
Jason: Upped his game. Shows that he WANTS this.
Chico: Left a little gas in the tank.
Gordon: And I'll disagree with Howard here. He took a risk and he nailed it.
Chico: He's ready to work his tail for it.
Jason: So who is up this week?
Chico: This week...

All Beef Patty, All wheel Sports, Elusive, Inspire the Fire, Spencer Horsman, Mike Price the rockstar Juggler, Wordspit & the Illest!, The Untouchables, Jake Wesley Rogers, Cristin Sandu, Jacob Williams, and Light Wire Theatre.

Gordon: Can I call the 4 now?
Chico: Hold on, let me write this down... Okay. Your four.
Gordon: Wordspit, the Illest!, Jacob Williams, Light Wire Theater, and All Beef Patty over Jake Wesley Rogers
Chico: Elusive, Wordspit, Lightwire Theatre, Jacob Williams.... Three out of the four.
Jason: I will see after the performances. I aint that crazy LOL
Chico: Yeah you are.
Gordon: I'm going to say that the 4th quadrant looks to be the hardest in maybe all of AGT history.
Chico: Now let's get to the top of the show and why Gordon and Jason were dressed as Batgirl and Robin. This week was the long awaited duel of the reality show houses... and the reality show hoes that dwell within them.
Gordon: I don't know about bats, but one of these shows was for the birds.



Gordon: I do like the new pretty graphic.
Chico: Let's start with the good...  Big Brother's back!
Jason: (HAPPY DANCE)
Chico: And with a new twist.
Jason: We started with 12 invitations and 11 Keys
Chico: And four returning houseguests, Janelle Pierzina, Dan Gheesling, Mike Boogie Malin, and Britney Haynes. Now they're not here to compete against the newbies. They're here to compete against EACH OTHER.
Jason: And 4 "Mentors/Coaches"
Gordon: I believe , in honor of me, we have a new graphic?
Chico: Yes we do.



Chico: In the wake of shows with coaches (ie X Factor and The Voice)... the returning houseguests are coaching teams of newbies. The one left standing wins $500,000. Their coach wins $100,000.
Gordon: This was the only thing that made sense to me the veterans were coaching the newbies and which ever protege winsm, they get a $50,000 coaches reward.' It's a great idea and adds a new layer to the show.
Jason: This is going to be FUN.
Chico: Yep. It's the sort of thing that works in theory, but in practice, it's like living with your mother when you're married with a kid.
Jason: I disagree totally. Everything about the first day worked. We saw strategy and BOOZE.(on BBAD) Janelle and the cast were potty mouthed.
Chico: Of course.
Gordon: Here's the other fun thing - the 'All-Stars' don't have to worry about being voted off, per se.
Chico: No, they're there to watch and judge... They're like cats.



Jason: At least right now...we could have a Twist o Doom
Gordon: The house guests have a challenge early. The losing team loses a member.
Chico: That would be Jodi the first one out the door. Danielle was gaming hard early to start; the people who usually say what they aren't as an occupation usually do. I would've called her on the BS right then and there. She does NOT look like a teacher. She looks like a student.
Jason: A sexy student :)
Gordon: Don't be a teacher's pet.
Jason: :-)
Chico: If she's a teacher, she can send me to detention. So any development on the live feed, or are we going to cross the tracks to the OTHER house?
Gordon: moving on, we also have our first HOH challenge
Chico: Do tell.
Gordon: The winner - Willie HANTZ. Does that last name sound familiar?
Chico: Let me see...
Jason: Uh yeah....:)
Chico: Now apparently a student of the game and reality TV as a whole... put two and two together. He better keep his trap shut
Gordon: He puts up Frank (Boogie) and Kara (Dan). They are already thinking about back-dooring Joe (Janelle) Also potentially in danger of being backdoored - Ian (who wore a duck to the Nomination proceedings and has been acting like an idiot).
Jason: lol
Chico: Not so much of being backdoored, but of being annoying.
Gordon: True
Chico: Meanwhile, over at Not Big Brother... it's an Ass Split.
Jason: Huh?
Chico: It's Jeffrey vs. Andrea and everyone is taking up sides. Basically, everyone hates everyone else.
Jason: Yawn.
Chico: And again, Andrea's playing the flaming homophobe card.
Gordon: Well, that's where we start. Eventually it's going to turn into a Kevin and Mike ally half the house up alliance. Now when you have an alliance, and when you have 2 different teams, what is the right thing to do, kids?
Chico: Follow the power.
Jason: Bingo
Gordon: no
Chico: So stay out of the crosshairs, then?
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: ok team challenge comes up. You have half the house in an alliance. How do you set up the teams?
Chico: Split the alliance!
Gordon: Yes. You split the alliance, so whoever wins, you have control. 3 guesses what Kevin and Mike do
Chico: Split the alliance. Except where they don't.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Next team challenge: Kevin, Mike, Ashley, Andrea & Stephanie vs. Holly, Jeffrey, Erica, Gene, and Joy (robin was beamed back to earth earlier)
Gordon: We already determined that this is the Ass house So OF COURSE they DON'T do the smart thing
Chico: So it's the Flaming Homophobe Alliance ... and Stephanie... vs. everyone else.
Gordon: So they put all of their alliance on one team - which comes back to bite them when they LOSE.
Jason: :-(
Chico: DAAAAAAMN!
Jason: Yeah.
Chico: So Ashley's in Limbo now.
Gordon: and joining her is the less than Brainiac Kevin
Chico: Lesson learned, kids.. If you don't split the alliance, the alliance will be split FOR YOU. Meanwhile, we split the audience with two new shows on Wednesday. The first was a new take on the old improv game. ABC's "Trust Us With Your Life"
Jason: OMG this was AWFUL.
Chico: That was short.
Gordon: No splitting here. This was absolutely painful to watch.,
Chico: I mean, there's only so many ways youc an do improv games on TV. This... wasn't one of them. Basically, the performers you've grown to love... are telling celebrities' life stories.
Gordon: Take who's line and combine it with This is your life and you get an incohrent mess as 4 of the best in the business try to improv their way through scenes.
Jason: The biggest problem: DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE CELEBS.
Chico: AGreed.
Gordon: Actually, I did. I didn't care about host Fred Willard, who looked like he was too busy ogling Serena Williams than doing anything worthwhile.
Chico: Yeah, even when he played a game show host on TV, it's was kind of off putting. He's more like the crazy uncle you don't like to talk about.
Jason: He's no Drew Carey
Chico: And Drew Carey had to practice to get to where he is today, but is there any good? The performers ... are always good.
Gordon: I want to say yes, but I can't. The games are all retreads and there's nothing new here to speak of.
Jason: It's done by the same people who did WLIIA. This is EPIC FAIL bad.

	TRUST US WITH YOUR LIFE ABC - 9p ET Tuesdays
	GORDON	CHICO	JASON	AVERAGE-O-MATIC
	F	F	F	EPIC FAIL

Chico: Dan Patterson.... you owe me an hour of my life. F
Jason: F for FAIL.
Gordon: This is like, We have a dead cat. Let's pout a rug over it and hope people don't mind the stench of it's decaying carcass. I love the improvers, but they can't save this. Dan Patterson, I want you to go and give me something ORIGINAL in terms of improv. Bringing back games from a 10 year plus show that had people get bored by them won't help. It didn't work for Green Screen, it didn't work for improv-a-ganze, and it's not going to work here. F.
Chico: Epic Fail. For an improv show, that takes going. Meanwhile, we have another application of the "Chopped" model in History Channel's simple, yet effective, "Picked Off". And it goes like this... four teams of two start with $100, and they have to go antiquing with it.
Gordon: The team with the lowest value brought back gets 'Picked Off / Chopped / hasta La Bye Bye, and the last team left wins $10,000.
Chico: And the money they make on each item goes to buying items for the next round. It's deceptively genius.
Jason: It reminds me of "Bargain Hunt" on the BBC.
Gordon: And like Pawn Wars, the teams will go head to head and can out auction the other team.
Chico: Because they use the same idea.
Gordon: So the good - The idea is sound and not done to death - yet. It also brings people into the Pawn Auction game, which can be fun.
Chico: The bad... it's an idea that's been done before... only much... more... brief. And the on-camera talent have no charisma. That's left to the players.
Gordon: I was bored. This should have been a half hour show - or there should have been something added to it. The really slow pacing didn't help.
Chico: But overall, it's decent enough to draw fans and maybe convert a couple of new ones.

	PICKED OFF History - 10p ET Tuesdays
	GORDON	CHICO	JASON	AVERAGE-O-MATIC
	C+	B-	B-	B-

Chico: B-
Jason: B- is right on the money.
Gordon: I'll slightly disagree. If you like this genre, you'll like the show, but the lack of pace is going to stop the show from bringing in any new eyeballs. C+
Chico: Meanwhile, Drew the bookworm found a copy of "Romeo & Juliet: Ninjas vs. Pirates".
Jason: Whoa.
Chico: While Darnell and Mike have a 30-year-old aquarium hollow castle.
Gordon: Hans found a 20 year old trough.
Chico: And Eve found a real working pair of adamantium claws..... oh crap.
Gordon: I think she remembers the cal-a-pult. (Gives Jason the Falconer's Glove)
Jason: ME? Why Me? Why is it always me?
Chico: Because someone has to drive. ... So drive. Just like someone else has to say...
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. Okay, first, the Greenlight... and it's a big one.
Jason: This is HUGE. MEGA HUGE.
Chico: It took three years..... it took SIX pilots. And it took THREE hosts... but PYRAMID IS BACK!

Mark your calendars for September 3 on GSN.

Chico: Mike Richards, currently EP of TPIR and LMAD, will host the series.
Jason: Pictures look good.
Chico: They do. And that's just from the CBS pilots from three years ago. It's expected that The Pyramid will look largely similar.
Gordon: I was going to say - keep in mind that these are from NYC, not the latest pilot.
Chico: Right. the only picture we have of the current pilot is...



Chico: Now Michael Davies is taking time out of his busy footie-ranting schedule to EP this baby, maybe Richards will pick up a few pointers. I think it's a win-win here.
Jason: This one is looking really special
Gordon: I think this will do extremely well. You have some of the best minds in the business working o nthis and evreything screams classic version.
Chico: This could very well be the best GSN original series EVER. ... yes, even better than Baggage.
Jason: Better than Woolery Lingo?
Chico: .... Better. Than Woolery. Lingo.
Gordon: Better than Fake-A-Date?
Chico: Better than Fake-a-Date
Gordon: whoo hoo!
Chico: But we have a while to wait until September 3. Tide us over, G!

In this week's Datebook, Sunday is the latest creation of Chopped: Grill Masters

Chico: Which begs the question... Charcoal or propane?
Jason: Charcoal
Chico: Gives meat nice flavor of wood.
Jason: Yup. I love grilling.
Gordon: Let's get loaded
Chico: Because nothing goes with grilling than... apps?

How would you like to use an Xbox Kinect to play Million Pound Drop? Well, they're working on it.

Gordon: Can they work on fixing Trust Us With Your Life?
Jason: HIC....and no.
Chico: Nope. Throw it on the barbie. I need some more kindling.
Gordon: what about some more smarts?
Chico: Cool.
Jason: I do.

Are YOU Smarter Than...Cat Cora and Drew Daniel (Big Brother 5), who get arrested for DUI and Domestic Abuse, respectively.

Jason: ooooo not good.
Chico: Yeah. Cat amazingly looks better in her mug shot. Drew... not so much.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: And now for some Haterade
Jason: (puts down mug)

Viacom and DirecTV have a contract issue. If you have DirecTV, say goodbye to Nickelodeon, MTV, Spike TV, etc.

Chico: and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: We can relate. No Chopped for 2 weeks.
Chico: And then there was me with no Billy on the Street for a month... well, two our of three ain't bad
Jason: Pretty much.
Gordon: Lets go on vacation. Where are we going?
Chico: How about the UK?' And you won't even have to sing for it. Jason.
Jason: Oh yeah that LOL.

Anyway, "Reflex" was dropped by Channel 4, but the BBC wants to buy the pilot.

Gordon: I'll it hit the air? Probably. Will we want to watch it? Probably not.
Jason: Right
Chico: It's a pilot. Where's the harm. Not here, says me. Now where are the hoes? (plays Luda)

In this week's Media Ho Report, Anthony Bourdain does a game show, Total Blackout gets Greenlighted for Season 2, Britney Spears walks off X-Factor. Again. Kim Spradlin (Survivor) is engaged, Simon Fuller is doing a beauty / talent competition, Gladys Knight is now an Apollo judge... Lord & Taylor does Project Runway, Shane Carwin Vs. Roy Nelson for The Ultimate Fighter 16, and The Bachelorette's Sean Lowe never wants to be on TV again. Believe him?

Jason: NOPE
Gordon: But none of them are the hoes of the week. Your hoes are Steven Tyler and J-Lo, for the obvious reasons.
Jason: Obviously.
Chico: I'd like to make an addendum to that list.
Gordon: And those...are your hoes. What you got?
Chico: From Wednesday's Figure It Out... There was a guy, Grennan Bartlett-Nealeigh, America's youngest sideshow performer. He had one word left, and the Green Word hadn't been played yet. Needless to say, he knew what was coming. Roll the tape.


Jason: thats is WIN.
Gordon: I'm guessing slime was not the only liquid that made it's way onto his pants.
Jason: That is why the show is just 10 shades of awesome.
Chico: Figure It Out 2012... You will be slimed, damn it.
Gordon: And that's BrainVision. Shut it down.
Jason: (Shutting down)
Chico: After the break, this guy conquered every awesome game show in the past 30 years... but can he conquer 20 Questions?
Gordon: We'll have an interview with Scott Hostetler after the break. you're reading WLTi. you give us 22 minutes and we'll gve you 22 ways to bolt a kid in a chair so they take their sliming.
Jason: Wrist and leg shackles.
Chico: Held down by two Supah Ninjas and a Power Ranger.
Gordon: The threat to send Jeff Sutphen to his house after the tapings.
Jason: That's not a bad thing

(Brainvision is presented by The Glass Pyramid. Win in the winner's circle, and you could end up $50,000 richer. Lose... and you could end up being sucked into the ground)
