Episode 27.7 - Good vs. Evil IV: And a Dog Shall Lead Them
July 18

Jason: Always in blue cans.
Josh: Don't forget the Lite version. All the taste, half the guilt.
Jason: Win.
Chico: He gets a present of a six-pack... of Presents.
Josh: PRESENTS!
Chico: It's Christmas in July! First up...

Sara Bareilles is your new judge on "The Sing-Off". What do we give her as a welcome-home gift?

Josh: How about an all-girl a capella group to work with?
Jason: Or a legitimately critical voice. Don't be afraid to give real advice. Not what they WANT to hear.
Chico: I agree. That would've worked for Christmas... but you're going into the big time now.
Josh: Ok, point seen
Chico: It's time for some real decisions and some tough love. But Josh is right, let's have some talent that the panel can work with.
Jason: True.
Chico: Seasons 1 and 2 set the bar mighty high. Now it's time for season 3 to step up to the plate and just knock it out.
Jason: Lets see what you can do
Chico: Jason, why don't you go next. Who do you want to give a present to?
Jason: OK...How about this?

The new season of Wheel of Fortune started taping this week. What do we give to Uncle Harry Friedman?

Chico: Well, we can't give him a new puzzle board, because that's already hot... He can't get a new announcer, because Jim's not officially on the clock yet...How about another show to go with Wheel and Jeopardy! You know, go for the triple crown.
Josh: A $10,000 wedge that's more like the regular $5,000 wedge.
Chico: That's a lot of moeny
Josh: It is...but it's only available one round.
Chico: A good idea. It's 2011. Come with it.
Jason: How about another Million dollar Win?
Chico: YES.
Jason: Got to happen sooner than later
Josh: YES!
Chico: COME WITH IT, WHEEL!
Josh: Ok, I have an idea.

We need to get a present for Jeff Stuphen.

Jason: Host of Brainsurge and 101 Ways, He hasn't had a good summer with 101 ways, but Family Brainsurge is about to debut.
Chico: Yes we do. Family BrainSurge returns this week... and 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show is still on the air. He needs a decent primetime show to host. 101 Ways is good for the Wipeout fan who can't wait for next week, but what about the rest of us!
Josh: How about bringing Brainsurge to primetime?
Chico: ... You know what, Josh? I can do that. I can give you weeknights... I can give you 8:00pm. You turn on Nick... and he's gonna be there.
Josh: I was thinking Sundays cause that's traditionally family time.
Chico: Another good idea. Something along the lines of Family Game Night. There has to be another idea for a wheel game out there that doesn't suck, Jonathan Goodson.
Josh: A wheel game for Jeff Sutphen. I like it.
Chico: I'm sorry, that was evil of me.

(EVIL)

Gordon: Yes it was. Unleash your inner evil. I know you can do it.

(GOOD)

Chico: Shut it, evil one. Let's switch gears here... back to the good... back to the good. Next...

Mark Cuban has been promoted from guest shark to real shark. What do we give him?

Jason: A new NBA Season for 2011/2012. Get it done.
Chico: Thank you.
Josh: And while we're at it....How about a baseball franchise?
Chico: YES! Give him the Dodgers!
Jason: He should buy the Dodgers.
Josh: LOL
Chico: If he turns the Dodgers around like he turned the Mavs around, we're talking hot.
Josh: We're getting the perfect gifts!
Chico: We are. Let's keep it going. Jason!
Jason: Ok...

Drew Carey...huge season for TPIR this September....#40...what do we give him?

Josh: 40 Bowties
Jason: Ha.
Chico: Throwback games.
Josh: I got one. Drew's Bargain Bar. They haven't played Bargain Bar in a while.
Jason: Yeah do a throwback game once a week
Chico: MAYBE NOT Two-Player Bullseye. I heard things about that.
Josh: Hurdles!
Chico: And to top it all off... Get Rich Fields back in the booth if only for one show. They're like Snoopy and Woodstock outside of 33, I've heard.
Chico: Batman and Robin. Gordon and myself.
Josh: I got someone at the top of my list that I have been racking my brain for....

GSN

Josh: I want to give them a format that WORKS
Chico: How about a decent show hosted and executed decently by someone who's just not about themselves.
Josh: Not just relying on celebrity talent to host. I would like to see maybe WML or maybe even the UK "Bullseye" make a try. Budgets are low enough for both shows.
Chico: Would they take a chance on Countdown?
Jason: NO. Too smart for the USA...sorry
Josh: I think even COUNTDOWN would work. The play-along factor is addictive
Chico: You would almost have to have a name for that. Imagine George Clooney at the desk saying "Aaaaaaaaand here's the clock.
Josh: You have to be careful about what name you put there.
Chico: Very.
Josh: Let's face it. Larry the Cable Guy or Ron White wouldn't work.
Jason: Nope.
Josh: So here it is. A format that is not celebrity driven but GAME driven.
Chico: The ultimate gift. And that's Presents. When we come back, we dive into the pits and set our evil TIVO. See you after the break!

(Brought to you by Those Funny Little Recappers. Watch Chico, Josh and Jason try to entertain the masses - and watch Gordon and Rob buzz them out of existence.)

Gordon: I'll watch that show, won't you Rob?
Rob: Oh yeah.
Gordon: So on that note, we have our Evil game this week.... WHAT YOUR TIVO SAYS ABOUT YOU
Rob: This oughta be fun.
Gordon: We're in the Summer Season, so it's time to do some reviews. Ready, Rob?
Rob: Let's do it.
Gordon: We start with:

America's Got Talent

Gordon: What does tivoing this show say about you, Rob?
Rob: It says that you want to see what's new in talent. However, it seems like you enjoy watching reruns as well, even though they're brand new shows.
Gordon: It says that I like watching heartwarming acts that don't have a chance of being remembered a year from now. Now If I'm here to see a million dollar talent, I'm hoping that I'll see it during the YouTube episode. Next one...

Expedition Impossible

Rob: It says that you can't wait to see the new season of The Amazing Race, so this is the next best thing, since it's hard to tell either show apart.
Gordon: It also says I'm going to like to see guys do this, because all of the women may be gone by the halfway mark. Whoever thought that women would have any chance to win a marathon show is loony in the head.
Rob: Alrighty, Gordon, What's next?
Gordon: Next one...

Platinum Hit

Rob: It says that you thought Kara was right and you are watching this to stick it to Idol. Aside from that, maybe you want to see another version of Idol?
Gordon: It says that all 25 people out there watching are Kara Dioguardi fans. I hope they clone themselves when her new show comes on BRAVO - if it ever hits the lanes.
Rob: I am thinking it will, since Bravo thrives on has beens. What's next?
Gordon: Next up:

Love in the Wild

Rob: You love trainwreck TV.
Gordon: I am a Chico Alexander fan and I want to see love. I want Chico to know there's a place that he can sing in his boxer shorts and be appreciated.
Rob: Are you sure we're on Love in the Wild. It sounds like we're still on Platinum Hit.
Gordon: I think it's good for both. He can sing in his boxer shorts to make sweet love to Kara DioGuardi. Then they can go into the wild.
Rob: With Kara as Jane and Chico as Cheetah.
Gordon: Who's Tarzan?
Rob: Simon Cowell.
Gordon: There you go. Next One:

69 Ways to Leave a Game Show

Rob: You like seeing explosions and contestants becoming terrified beyond belief when they lose. Oh, and you think Jeff Suthpen is a great emcee.
Gordon: I think that I miss Fear Factor values with really slow pacing. Last one...

Chico Alexander and Jason Block's Wild Burlesque Extravaganza! Guest starring Agent Josh!

Gordon: It means I'm a crackhead.
Rob: Hi, my name is Gordon Pepper. I have this on my DVR, so I can torment Chico Alexander and Jason Block with this footage the next time they forget to pay me back.
Gordon: Or when Jason Block owes me sushi dinners.
Rob: Or when Jason Block owes Rob $25 from a missed Wrestlemania bet.
Gordon: Hi, my name is Rob Seidelman. I have this on my DVR also, and I'll play it when I want to see Jason be more embarrassed than when he was on the North American wrestling connection.
Rob: Hi, I'm Quisla Alexander. I have this on my DVR so I can embarrass Chico Alexander at the next Alexander Family Reunion.
Gordon: I'm Jason Block's dad. Now whenever Jason wants to get into an argument, I'll play him this and he'll shut up. I can give more things of what it means, but I think Chico will get the hint and let us out of the dungeon....won't you Chico? :)
Chico: You know, you are usually terrible, but I think you hit an all-time low.
Gordon: I could keep going...
Chico: Oh no. You've done enough. I'm coming over.
Gordon: Thank you. And now, we break.

(Brought to you by Family Finders Keepers. Our teams of families are going to have a time looking for the keys to a brand new car... which is a lot like looking for the keys to your current car if you've ever done that before.)

Chico: *"Reunited" starts playing* ... I guess I have to open the dungeon now, don't I? *opens dungeon*
Gordon: I still think the Chico Alexander and Jason Block burlesque show would bring in the ratings.
Chico: Umm... no.
Gordon: Not even with Quisla as the head dancer?
Chico: ... DON'T MAKE ME PUT YOU BACK DOWN THERE.
Gordon: You. No. Fun.
Chico: Are you kidding? We had plenty fun up here... Heh.
Gordon: We had more fun in the dungeon
Chico: Speaking of, big thanks to Rob Seidelman, Jason Block and Agent Josh for being great sports. But right now, it's just you, it's just me, and it's just the Speed Round. Ready to do it?
Gordon: Ready. Starting....now. AGT: Give me someone who advances
Chico: Dani Bieber... err, Dani Shay.
Gordon: I'll go with that. Big Brother - who goes away?
Chico: A newbie. All I know. I know it won't be Adam or Dominic, who'll likely veto themselves. So Jordan's going to put a newbie team up. We had a very frank and lively discussion about that.
Gordon: I agree. I think the ladies may have issues this week.
Chico: If I was Cassi or Shelly, I'd be really concerned.
Gordon: I agree. She may gonna get it. Expedition Impossible. Is it possible that a female team doesn't get booted this week?
Chico: That's impossible.
Gordon: What's the possibility of mail?
Chico: That's possible. You know what else is possible?
Gordon: What?
Chico: STAT BOY!

Jason Wuthrich Going back to the June 27 show, yes, I caught the Hawaii Five-0 reference. But did anyone catch Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's cameo CBS just repeated? You know, for a karaoke singer, he's a darn good chef.

”

Chico: I'll agree with that.
Gordon: I'll go with that also. Thanks for the email, Stat boy
Chico: We still have the FB Question from last week. Nobody's answered it, so we'll keep it up until someone does. The question again...What WAS the question again?
Gordon: The question:

Who should we put Chico Alexander on a date with: New York, Emily Maynard, or Boy Lady Gaga?

Gordon: Wait... I don't think that's it.
Chico: *draws weapon*
Gordon: Ah! Here it is.

“

WLTI'S BIG FACEBOOK QUESTION Big Brother 13: interesting strategy bringing in dynamic duos or just another lame twist?

”

Chico: Again, best answers make the next show. And speaking of the next show, we're doing it up family style. Until then, for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander. Thanks for reading, game over and spread the good evil love.
