Episode 24.12 - Final Answer?
August 23

Chico: Hello, internet friends.. This is Chico Alexander... and this surprisingly well-dressed moppet to the right of me is Gordon Pepper.
Gordon: C is for Cookie, that's good enough to eat!
Chico: I bet it is.
Gordon: Or what about this one: Wakah wakah wakah!
Chico: Dude, I said "Moppet", not muppet.
Gordon: IIIII Looooove Traaaaaaa......oh.
Chico: Well, you are a grouch. But we forgive you anyway.
Gordon: You hang out at the DMV for 2 hours and you tell me how your outlook on life is when you get out.
Jason: Oh boy :)
Chico: I've been there. Trust me. It's not happening.
Gordon: Anyways, let's start this puppy. From somewhere in Gordon's glove compartment, this week's episode of WLTi...is...ON!
Jason: WHOO HOO
Gordon: Joining us this week is our special guest, Mr. Jason Block.
Chico: Yay Block.
Jason: I wish I could say I was happy. But I am not.
Chico: But you're Mr. Happy Goodtime.
Jason: Not today.
Gordon: We will see what's driving Jason up a tree later, but first, let's start our engines with Food Trucks.
Chico: Ah, food trucks. The newest entry into the American culinary landscape... and the subject of the Great Food Truck Race.



Chico: The Great Food Truck Race is like the Real Cannonball Run from a while back. Only it goes in the opposite direction and it's not necessarily a race.
Gordon: Here's how this show works. You have 7 teams. They each run around selling their wares. The team that sells the least is eliminated.
Chico: So it's more like a traveling "Apprentice".
Jason: Interesting concept.
Chico: Very interesting. That's part of the good. Another part of the good..the teams. They're very kitschy. We have the Austin Daily Press that sells sammies wrapped in copies of The Onion...Grill 'em All, which sells burgers with a side of Metallica...My favorite, the Nom Nom Truck...
Gordon: Nom nom nom nom nom
Chico: The Ragin' Cajun, Spencer on the Go, the Nana Queens, and Crepes Bonaparte. So a lot of diversity, a lot of opportunities.
Gordon: Well not for the Nana Queens, who sell the least and get booted first.
Chico: Yup.
Gordon: They had issues with their cookware. You could say they had a 'Fear of Frying'.
Jason: (rimshot)
Chico: BOO!
Gordon: Thank you, I'll be here all week.
Chico: You may think I was being cruel, but he was waiting for that.
Gordon: I was.
Chico: See?
Gordon: The good news is that it's executed well. The casting did a good job on picking teams that we want to care about.
Chico: And they kept the competition at the forefront. None of this pretense BS.
Gordon: The gameplay is fun, and it's based on cold hard cash, not necessarily an 'expert' opinion.
Chico: So there's a standard in play. Good premise. Good competition. Good teams. Now the bad. Tyler Florence... meh.
Jason: Not a good conduit?
Chico: No. I mean, they could've gotten ANYONE and had the same result. And not really that much livelihood. Like play-by-numbers, there to get another check from Food Network.
Gordon: So that's part of The Bad. Another part - we've seen these elements before. As Chico said, this is The Apprentice, Season 2, Episode 1, with food instead of cupcakes.
Chico: But it's good food. At least it looks good.

THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE - Food
GORDON CHICO JASON AVERAGE-O-MATIC
C+ C NO GRADE C+

Gordon: So far. So my grade: It's nothing we haven't seen before, but it's done decently. C+.
Chico: Agreed. And it's decent enough to watch. But Tyler's really dragging it down. C.
Jason: Pass.
Chico: You should watch it, J.
Jason: I will
Chico: I mean, it's good enough.
Gordon: You could do worse. Like watch this week's America's Got Talent.
Jason: Oh boy



Chico: Because NBC likes to force things down your throat. We have the Wild Card round, where 12 rejects get one more shot at redemption.
Gordon: Ok. Let's say that you can select any - or none - of the 12 people this week. How many would you have taken into the next round?
Chico: How can I put this... ONE.
Jason: Yowch.
Chico: And they didn't even get in. Weren't even in the top 5.
Gordon: That's one more than I would have put in. Big Bored please?


America's Got Talent?

- Half of the acts were buzzed
- Through: Michael Grasso, Anna & Patryk, Connor Doran, Michael & Ashleigh
 

Gordon: The Subject: America's Got Talent? Let's do this by the numbers. Kruti Dance Academy
Chico: Not that one. People have done better with Bollywood... AND have not gotten through.
Gordon: It's Bollywood. And it's been done much better. Next: Rudi Macaggi (Buzzed by Piers)
Chico: He's buzzed. We shouldn't even be talking about him.
Gordon: CJ Dippa (Buzzed By Piers)
Chico: See Rudi Macaggi. Next.
Gordon: RNG (Buzzed by PIers)
Chico: ...you know what I'm about to say.
Jason: Next?
Chico: Good.
Gordon: This was the second attempt for the past 3 artists. They had better runs during their first appearances on the show. Next: Harmonica Pierre.
Chico: Now technically, he wasn't buzzed. I mean, Howie buzzed him, but only because Piers buzzed Howie's picks. So they made him take it back. BAD HOWIE.
Jason: NO HOME GAME
Chico: But yeah, we've seen harmonica acts do better this year... and not go through.
Gordon: This was the same harmonica act. He did better, per se, but not good enough. Next: Michael Grasso
Chico: He actually made it through to the next round, and I'm honestly asking how. I know America put him through, and he's a good magician, but we've seen better this year. Why did he get through?
Gordon: Cause everyone else sucked and you had to advance 4.
Chico: I mean, is this the best of what we have or is it just a numbers game with the magicians?
Gordon: Yes?
Chico: :P
Gordon: The act wasn't very good and you could see how the trick was done.
Jason: Which is not cool.
Chico: No, not really. Next...
Gordon: The Hot Shot Tap Dancers
Chico: For those playing along at home... THIS was the act to which I was earlier alluding. I mean, they had one bad audition and it ended up costing them.
Gordon: Really? I didn't think they were special.
Chico: Better them than the dancing act that actually got through. I thought they were special.
Gordon: I agree with you on the wrong dancing act got through, but I don't think they are going anywhere, either. Next: Doogie Horner. You've heard him before.
Chico: I don't need to hear the act again. I know what he's about. I know he sucks. And Piers wanted him back. So I'm like... Why?
Gordon: Cause it's a good running gag, since no one in this group has a shot of advancing.
Jason: Of course not.
Chico: Not even Connor Doran the indoor kite-flyer?
Gordon: No.
Chico: Well... He did.
Gordon: It's a nice sob story that ends once he's up against real contenders.
Chico: America loves a hardluck story. After all, that's why Ali & Christina are in the semi. Which is where I think their run ends also.
Gordon: Next: Anna and Patryk. Don't get me started on 2nd chances here.
Chico: They're on #3 right now.
Chico: Which is one more than what everyone else got. And America's giving them ANOTHER!
Jason: THUD
Chico: America? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
Gordon: Defending America here, they are forced to put in 3. They were the best of the worst.
Chico: True. Next?
Gordon: Michael Lipari & Ashleigh Dejon
Chico: Again, they had one bad audition, and unfortunately, that's going to be their legacy.
Gordon: You can't have a bad audition.
Chico: The judges (except for Piers, who apparently knows better) put them through over Pierre.
Gordon: If everyone gets an audition, then you can't excuse them by saying 'oh, well they had a bad audition'. Too bad. It's like saying, 'he would have been a great clutch hitter if he didn't strike out in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded'.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: Finally...Swing Shift Side Show
Chico: Now this had an interesting side story. THey had to pull out after being given the greenlight to Vegas. But they return thanks to Howie for another shot. Do I think it was deserved based on what we saw? No. Apparently Howie thought otherwise. But then again, no one's paying me for my opinion.
Gordon: That was brutal. There's no reason why they should have had the last spot on the show.
Chico: So the four that come through from this round take on the 20 from the rounds previous... Lots of luck. A preview of coming attractions, if you will, for semi-final #1:

ArcAttack, Anna & Patryk, Antonio Restivo, AscenDance, Christina & Ali, Connor Doran, Dan Sperry, Future Funk, Kristina Young, Micahel Grimm, Prince Poppycock, and Taylor Matthews.

Chico: Seems easy enough to pick the winners. If you put the musical acts ahead of the rest, and you put the acts with more screen time than the rest, and you put the better backstories up against the rest, then you get ArcAttack, Christina & Ali (I'm going to hell for this, but... boohiss), Prince Poppycock, Antonio Restivo, whoever is the better dancing duo, and whoever's rocking the better six-string. Not scientific, but scientific enough. Gordon?
Gordon: I'm going to disagree here. If you add that no Judges choices have ever gotten past the next round, My Top 6 here is AscenDance, Christina & Ali, Dan Sperry, Michael Grimm, Prince Poppycock and Taylor Matthews.
Chico: We'll see who's right and who owes who a Coke next week. Meanwhile, we have a whirlwind vacation.... and at the end of it, the first big game changer of the summer in the Big Brother House.
Jason: Oh yeah.



Chico: Now last week we said that there was a 99% chance that Ragan was going home this week. Well... when there's a 99% chance of going home, there's a one percent chance of NOT going home.
Gordon: Which is what would happen if he wins Veto, which he does.
Chico: But that's only the beginning. Matt is put up as the replacement nominee. BUT Matt has the Diamond Power of Veto. He plays the Veto and puts KATHY up. That was the game changer that we all saw coming, but rather unlikely. Not only was she evicted, she was evicted UNANIMOUSLY.
Gordon: And that's the problem with floating. It only works when you have 2 factions against each other. When you only have one dominant faction, being a floater is bad news. Now Britney is the new HOH. Up goes Brandon (as revenge for him putting her up) and Enzo (as a pawn to get Brandon out).
Chico: Yeah, and when the other faction is lterally a faction of one (thanks to said whirlwind vacation that sent Rachel to the BB House for 24 hours and Brendon to the Jury House for 24 hours), you're really up against the 8-ball.
Gordon: However, this is an obviously ridiculous move. Britney needs to break up the Brigade or she's out at 5.
Chico: Correct.
Jason: Pretty much.
Chico: You don't play out of vengeance. You don't play with your heart. You play with your head.
Jason: Unless Brandon wins POV, he is gone this week.
Chico: Correct.
Gordon: But I will say this. Should Brandon not win the Veto, the Brigade may be the best Big Brother Alliance ever if they can hold it together for 3 more weeks.
Chico: Not so much because they're good but because everyone else is an idiot.
Gordon: I don't disagree, but the Brigade uses that to their advantage, and they should score for that. There has never been an alliance to have nothing but it's core members around at the end.
Chico: The Brigade could be the first, and the benchmark to which all future reality TV collusions are measured.
Gordon: Well, no. The best alliance was the The Tagi of Survivor, who made Pagong a household word.
Chico: But the Brigade... certainly up there.
Jason: It's still a verb around here :) To "Pagong: To bring down another team one by one, by means of an alliance."
Gordon: What makes this more impressive is that most of the time, the Brigade HAVEN'T been the HOHs.
Chico: Again, the decisions being made by the HOHs have been more or less bad ones. This nomination of Brendon and Enzo... just the latest in a string.
Gordon: Yes, but The Brigade now control the vote. As long as 2 members aren't against each other, it's smooth sailing.
Chico: Basically.
Gordon: 7 people left, and 4 of them are Brigaders.
Jason: The four are: Hayden, Enzo, Matt and Lane.
Chico: Right.
Jason: And Ragan, by winning POV, gets $20,000 for his troubles by remaining the saboteur :)
Gordon: But how good of a Top Shot is he?



Gordon: (divided by 10)
Jason: lol
Chico: I thought it was fitting that the final of one of the best shows to come along in a while would come down to one final shot. It was Iain's sniper shot against Chris' sniper shot. The final rung on the gauntlet was to shoot an M14 at two targets, one at 100 yards and one at 300 yards.
Jason: Damn.
Chico: The shortest and longest yardage of the competition with the M14. Making it first for the win and $100,000... Iain.
Gordon: Well done. And it was a good series. Season 2 will be coming.
Chico: And we'll wait for it anxiously. I will say that Colby Donaldson has come a ways from being Probst-lite.
Gordon: Do you support The Ultimate Gamer?
Chico: ALWAYS. This year, we're going multiplatform, which will make the competition that much more enticing. Because you know, season 1 was basically 'Who rocked the 360?'. Now, we throw in the PS3 and the Wii.
Jason: That's a good call. The Wii has revolutionized gaming
Chico: The first game out of the pike... Tekken 6.
Jason: Oh yeah!
Chico: But for the most part, The game stays the same, each round has a Real Life Challenge, an Isolation Challenge, and a Video Challenge. Lose the Video Challenge, and it's game over, no spreading of the love for you. At the end of the Tekken 6 round, it's Mike Labelle versus Kat Gunn in Samsung Stadium.
Gordon: Apparently, we have some DRAMA in the house. Kat has been known in the group before the show started. She stole Vanessa's boyfriend. Oops.
Jason: Yipe.
Chico: I thought we got PAST that.
Gordon: Nope. So Kat can expect to reserve her spot in the elimination match in every episode. However, despite the rest of the house giving Mike tips, Mike was sent home.
Chico: Awww.
Jason: Oh man.
Chico: So we can all cry for Mike now.
Gordon: Wa.
Chico: Waaaaa.
Jason: Boo hoo :)
Gordon: But what will you be doing for our next show up in our 5 Questions segment?
Chico: And while we're on crying... a LOT OF CRYING going on this week for that. Because this week, it's ... "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". Jason: Here. We. Go.
Gordon: May we remind everyone that Jason won $125,000 on the Regis Philbin version of Millionaire, so he does have special ties to the show.
Chico: Very special. So there may be some crying from Jason.
Jason: (Cracks knuckles)
Chico: Or maybe not.



Chico: Let's start it off with this one...

Question #1: Michael Davies is out at EP, Rich Sirop is in. What does this bode for the legacy and the future of the show?

Jason:
It's a good thing for Davies sake that he's out as EP. Because he can't blamed for this (bleep)ing mess.
Chico: And it BEGINS.
Gordon: (Orders sushi.)
Chico: I'll call you in for question 2.
Gordon: Cool. Thanks. (Walks out of the room.)
Jason: Seriously though, because they are going through a lot of changes that may not be related to the show itself. The "classic version". They are blowing (bleep) up, so to speak. And Michael Davies may not want to be associated with it. This is THE most important season in the show's syndicated history. Because if people like this, Sirop is a genius. If it's a bomb, Davies can just smile and say, "Told You So."
Chico: Now people have said that they'll give it a chance, but from where I'm sitting... it's Joker's Wild 90 all over again. Basically, a new game created to capitalize off of the classic franchise that make look like the original, but isn't necessarily so.
Jason: Exactly
Chico: And like you said... If it works, then good on Rich. If it doesn't... then we point the finger and laugh at you. Because you go from 15 questions straight shot to the million to two rounds, one of 10 varying questions of varying money and difficulty, then four questions of "Classic millionaire". Anytime you feel the need to change it up like that... you just gotta give it up.
Jason: Right. This REEKS of desperation
Chico: Ok Gordon, it's safe to come back.
Gordon: (Returns with sushi rolls) Based on what I've seen, I don't think it bodes too well. A lot of the changes will clearly anger the Millionaire faithful, and if they leave the show, the ratings will erode to dangerous levels. Next question.

Question #2: Now that we've see the changes, which ones help the show and which ones hurt it?

Gordon: And before we answer that, we need to see said changes. Big Board, please?


Multi-Millionaire

- Mystery difficulty
- Mystery money
- Classic Millionaire
- New Lifeline
- No Hot Seat
 

Gordon: The Subject: Multi-Millionaire. Chico, please tell everyone what the changes are.
Chico: Right on. First, the game splits into two rounds. First round is the random money. Ten questions worth anywhere from $100 to $25,000. You could get a cheesecake question for $25,000, you could get referencia obscura for $100. For every correct answer, the money is added to the bank. Walk before the end of the stack, and you leave with half your bank. So up to $68,600 could be won or loss on this 14-question format. Then comes the four Classic Millionaire questions worth $100,000, $250,000, $500,000, and $1 million. If you walk away here, you leave with your entire bank. Next is a new lifeline, Jump the Question. You get two of those. You will not have to answer the question, but you will lose that money that you could've won. Ask the Audience remains the same, but that's the only other Lifeline you get. Then, the iconic Hot Seat, is gone. You're going to play the game standing, which could be a problem if you have varicose veins, but that's neither here nor there. And the questions are now projected on an 18-foot HD screen. There's more change in store to be sure, but that's just the gist of it. And now, for a clearly-unbiased opinion, here's Jason Block... get that plunger away from me, you animal.
Jason: (Puts plunger away and grabs soap box) None of these changes HELP the show. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HURTS IT. For all you glass half-full people...THIS AIN'T MILLIONAIRE. THIS IS THE NEW COKE OF GAME SHOWS. You take away the iconic symbols of the game...like the Hot Seat, and the whole randomization thing...is a large crock of game show bull(bleep). I don't know what the (bleep) they were thinking here. Seriously. Change the name of the show.
Chico: It's has the potential to be a good show... but Millionaire? No.
Jason: Millionaire: Hot Seat is more Millionaire than this mess. And that's saying something.
Gordon: I agree with the majority. The biggest problem here is that you're using a completely new show idea and adding the Millionaire brand to it. We saw this with Temptation (Sale of the Century) and The Joker's Wild '90 (The Jokers Wild), 2 shows that got hurt because the audience didn't like the revamping. I send a lot of the same sentiment here.
Chico: Yeah, how did THOSE work out?
Gordon: One and done.
Jason: Yup and Yup.
Chico: Now there's the contingent that watch the show simply because it's filler between the news and All My Children. But the Millionaire LFATs... the backlash will be fierce. And you'll have to line up behind Jason Block. Next question...

Question #3: Is it possible that these changes are implemented to save a few more dollars here and there?

Chico: That's a tricky one.
Jason: I thought they did that the last two years by picking boneheaded idiots who couldn't play the game?
Chico: After all, every change that Millionaire has made since going into syndication has been made to theoretically increase the bottom line, right down to picking jumper cables to play the game.
Gordon: I think the problem wasn't the old format. It was the contestants. You had a lot of people who didn't play very well last season. Most people didn't come close to sniffing the million.
Chico: Well, one person did. And if he's reading this, hi, Ken. But also think about this... Disney lost the court case earlier this year, and now owes Celador a whole hot mess of cash for it.
Gordon: You try to remedy it by improving the show, not sabotaging it.
Chico: No one said anyone at Disney was smart.
Jason: And this is a big dynamite bomb of sabotage. Sorry guys.
Gordon: I mean this is clearly cost cutting, but it makes no sense. Let's say I get the first 3 questions right, and the values are $25,000, $15,000 and $10,000.
Jason: Thats $50,000.
Gordon: I now have $50,000. I'll gladly quit and take the 25K instead of risking it through 5-7 questions.
Chico: Because it's all randomly generated by the most powerful computer on a game show since the Whammy! board.
Jason: Are you sure?
Gordon: We've heard for years about how the 'randomness' of the 50/50 isn't so random.
Chico: Whether or not it's true, we can't say, because honestly we don't know.
Jason: True.
Gordon: It wouldn't surprise me if the big money early amounts magically showed up in...oh let's say...November, February and May: The sweep months.
Jason: Cynical Bastards Unite. :)
Chico: Word. Next question.

Question #4. What's the highest we'll see someone go this season?

Chico: $250,000.
Jason: That's about right.
Chico: Then the backlash comes and we're back to where we were two or three years ago.
Gordon: I think someone will get through all 10 with no Lifelines needed. That makes them an automatic $250,000 cause they can use Jump the Question twice. With only an Ask the Audience left, it would be hard pressed for anyone to go any further, but I think someone will get lucky and make it to 500K. I don't see a million dollar winner in this format though.
Chico: I will be surprised if there is one.
Gordon: Last one?
Chico: Last question...

Question #5: Last season, "Millionaire" averaged a 2.9. What's the Final Answer for this season?

Jason:
2.0. It will drop like a stone when people say WHAT THE (BLEEP) is this?
Chico: I'm going to go with 2.2. The drop, much like the fix, is in. But I'm going to be fair and give it a more of a quarter than a third.
Gordon: 1.9 and the series is over.
Jason: May I say one more thing, and no cursing will be involved here?
Chico: One more thing.
Jason: When I heard these changes, I was legitimately saddened. Because this isn't the show that changed my life and a lot of people's lives. And I really hope that the producers SEE the backlash. Certain people want this to succeed. I don't. I want this to crash and burn. I want this to fail hard.
Chico: The only way they're going to know about it is if you vote with your remotes... and maybe send strongly worded letters to those responsible.
Jason: I will NOT go a taping of this abomination. And I ask you...protest...
Chico: I can tell you right now that Eve has made her opinion known. And while Jason tries to clean it up...
Jason: Again?
Chico: Yes, again.
Gordon: (Hands Jason pail and broom)
Jason: Ugh.
Chico: Gordon's going to throw it to the news. =p
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. Doug Morris, best in the business. First up, we've got so much business I need TWO bats. Or dude... Bat-chucks! That would be two baseball bats connected by a chain.
Gordon: (Tosses Bat-Chucks to Chico)
Chico: *Does some finesse with the bat-chucks.*
Chico: ... Bat-chucks.
Gordon: Holy Bat-Chucks, Chico.

First of all, NBC has ordered 24 more eps of Minute to Win It to criss-cross into season 2. So expect new shows for the rest of the summer, with more coming midseason.

Chico: And after seeing what the show could be this summer... and the vast improvement (Million $ Mission notwithstanding)... very warranted.
Gordon: Including football players and football fans.
Chico: Because you love football. *puts on Carolina Panthers jersey*
Gordon: I do. The Carolinas Panthers aren't wearing green, though
Chico: Nope. Second bat...

GSN has tapped Sherri Shepherd to host season 4 of The Newlywed Game. The show'll move BACK to NYC and start shooting for a drop date of November 1, just in time for the all-important sweeps.

Chico: The question now... does Sherri Shepherd follow in the footsteps of her predecessor and earn an Emmy nod for this? Because you know, she already has one for "The View".
Gordon: I don't think so, but it's not a bad choice of hosts. I think she could be better, given Shepherd's already-sassy personality.
Chico: Because you love the sexy sassy thick ladies. :-)
Gordon: Nothing wrong with that.
Chico: No sir. Good for greenlights as well.
Gordon: And Datebooks.
Chico: Datebook me.

No new shows coming up this week, but we get the semi-finals of AGT.

Chico: And I should say that with the new seasons of Baggage and Catch 21... we are back in business until July 2011. Hallelujah for that. Expect a new game show episode every weekday from now until the end of July 2011. And there's the special back to school episode of TPIR on Friday. Rich Fields' last...respect.
Gordon: It's all about respect. Rich is going to want to get Fully Loaded after seeing that episode though.
Chico: Right. And so will Perez Hilton. Perhaps they can get loaded together.

Perez Hilton has a new web-show for GSNTV.com, it's Perez Hilton's Baggage Report, which is a weekly sum-up of everything Baggage. Eight eps are in the offing, one for each new week.

Gordon: Oh Joy
Chico: Oh bliss. Someone get this dude a TV deal so he can stop stinking up my computer. =p
Gordon: We've seen that already. Do you wish to see it again?
Chico: ... Next story.
Gordon: Do you wish to see stupid people?
Chico: Yes

Are YOU Smarter than...Heidi Pratt, who was dumb enough to make a sex tape with Spencer. Now the world will get to see her naked body as Spencer is about to distribute the tape.

Chico: No, the world will NOT get to see her naked body. because half of it is in a garbage bin in Beverly Hills, replaced by bionic plastic parts.
Gordon: That's eerie, yet I can't refute that.
Chico: There you go.
Gordon: And for this week's Haterade, we bring back one of youre favorites.
Chico: Oh my

Tila Tequila is told to NOT perform at a Jugalos concert. She does and gets greeted by rocks, bottles, sex toys, poop and other lovely things. As a result, she sues the concert.

Chico: Lovely. Anything to mention poo on this show, huh?
Gordon: Poo for you. Let's go travelling.

Some sad news out of South Africa this week. Fiona Coyne, who hosted the South African edition of "The Weakest Link", died this week. She was 45.

(silence)

Gordon: Thank You.
Chico: Next? *plays "Pimpin' All Over The World"*
Gordon: In this week's Media Ho Report...

Watson the Super Computer will go on Jeopardy, Ethan Zohn partners up with CBS to stop Cancer, Betty White inks a book deal...Steven Tyler 'Officially' is an American Idol Judge, Jesse James is seen with Kat Von D, and Chris Lambton turns down the role of The Bachelor, Chico's favorite show in the whooooole wide world.

Chico: Good for him. Let him find love the old-fashioned way
Gordon: But none of them are the Ho of the week.
Chico: But hey, Gordon... you could totally do that job.
Gordon: I could be, but you're bald and sexy.
Chico: This is true. But I'm not the ho of the week.
Gordon: No, you're not, sorry.
Chico: Then who, pray tell?
