Chico: Welcome back. Now you're probably wondering why I'm wearing a nice suit with no tie...
Josh: You look very Chic, Chico.
Chico: Thank you. And Gordon's dressed as A-Rod...
Gordon: I got a big bat, baby
Chico: ... and Agent Josh is a secret agent...
Josh: My martini glass is always full.
Jason: Why am I dressed as Sarah Palin?
Josh: LOL!!!!
Chico: Because you're very tart, J.
Jason: Ah ok.
Chico: ALSO... because we're about to play... BUEN TRATO!
Jason: WOOT! I love this game.
Josh: (looks very confused)
Chico: Josh, Buen Trato is Spanish for "Good deal"
Josh: Ah. Ok. I took French in High school
Chico: This is from the Spanish version of LMAD, "Trato Hecho". We all miss Trato Hecho. But I have something that'll help. Two tickets to go see Let's Make a Deal in Vegas. I got two tickets for you, Gordon. Two tickets for you, Jason...And two tickets for you, Josh.
Josh: Oh goody.
Chico: And I bet you didn't know this... but there's something ATTACHED to those tickets. You want to know what?
Josh: I hate to repeat myself....What's the Catch of the Day?
Chico: The catch is.. I'm not gonna tell you until this game ends. Awwww. But Gordon...Hi, Gordon. You know I love you like a brother, right?
Gordon: Oh I know you do.
Chico: So I'm going to buy back those tickets for what's behind the box that some chick we found at Parkway Lanes is standing in front of. What do you want to do? I'll tell you right now... It says MONEY LIST on it
Gordon: Oooh. I don't want that.
Chico: Jason, you want it?
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Josh?
Josh: I'll pass on it as well.
Chico: No one picked the Money List box...Well, I'll tell you right now that it had something to do with what happened last week... which was that a team SWEPT the List of "States with a Coastline"...

And you would've seen half of America on a train!

Josh: OOOOH@!
Jason: Drat
Gordon: Eh.

You would've flown round trip coach from Los Angeles to Miami, where you would've boarded a train to New York City. You would've stayed three days, two nights at a luxury hotel in the heart of Manhattan. Total value of the deal... $2260.

Chico: And now we say... Awwww.
Josh: Awwwwwwwwwww
Jason: Awwww
Gordon: AwwwwBarf.
Chico: You still have tickets, but you missed half of the states with a coastline. But never you fear, because Jason...Hi, Jason! I have another box! And it's right in front of me.
Jason: I see it.
Chico: It says MILLIONAIRE on it. It's yours. Guess what it costs.
Jason: My tickets.
Chico: Right.
Jason: Nope. I have a bad feeling. Pass.
Gordon: I'll pass on the tickets.
Josh: (looking the other way and wincing, he hands Chico his tickets)
Chico: Josh is giving me the tickets for the Millionaire box.
Jason: I think I know what's in there.
Chico: Josh, you now own...

FIVE EUROS!

Jason: YES! Knew it.
Josh: Bother. That was a dirty trick.

Five euros... Add it up faster than Patricia Heaton, and no matter how long you take.. it adds up to a CH-CH-CH-CHASCO! *STAMP*

Josh: Oh well, them's the deals.
Chico: But I'm NOT DONE!
Jason: Woot.
Chico: And neither are you, Josh. You don't want to go home with $7.50, do you.
Josh: No, I don't.
Gordon: I'll trade you the Euros for 30 quarters :)
Josh: I'll wait to see what Chico the man has in store.
Jason: What's next?
Chico: Because I'm feeling in a 1990 mood... I have a video screen with "Wipeout" on it.
Gordon: I'll trade for that.
Josh: Anything has to be better than $7.50. I'll trade.
Jason: I still want my Vegas Tickets
Chico: Jason holds onto his tickets. Gordon and Josh have traded and you're going to love this...

it's a bunch of BIG BALLS!

Jason: WOOT!
Gordon: But I have those already ;)
Chico: Heh.
Josh: Hey, at least I can try to make some money off of it.

You've seen them on TV, now YOU can have a ball with these 10-feet rubber contestant bumpers. Fun for you, but for everyone else, it's a CHASCO... *stamp*

Gordon: I can throw them at Jason the next time he screws up.
Chico: Next... I have... would you believe it... ANOTHER BOX.
Jason: For all of us?
Chico: All of you. It says CRASH COURSE
Josh: I'm Trading.
Jason: Me too.
Gordon: Trade away.
Jason: What was attached to the Vegas tix?
Chico: You want to know what was attached to the Vegas tickets.. none of you are taking them...

The $20 Wayne Brady couldn't give away on the Early Show. Ha. That's it.

Jason: WOOT!
Chico: But you've all traded away, and you're going driving... Check it out...

You can drive a crash course or any course with your own PS3 Slim!

Josh: OOOOH! Yeeeeees
Gordon: YAY!
Jason: YES!

We're throwing in Gran Turismo 3 and an HDTV to make this deal worth $1599!

Josh: Thank you sir.
Chico: BUT I'M NOT DONE YET! I'm crazy! I have a Curtain.
Jason: You do?
Chico: It has a Singing Bee on it.
Josh: Keep your curtain, I'll keep my game.
Jason: Oh no. I want my PS3 and HDTV
Gordon: You know what? I'll trade for the curtain
Jason: You're nuts :)
Chico: You are. But sometimes nuts works. Let's see what you got...

It's a pair of acoustic guitars! Yamaha CPX-700s signed by Steve Dorff and the Beehive. Together, they're worth $1148!

Gordon: Sweet!
Chico: So Gordon has guitars that he'll probably never play.
Gordon: I can set them on fire and juggle them like Mario and Jenny do.
Chico: BUT I HAVE ONE MORE DEAL FOR YOU.
Jason: Whats the deal?
Chico: TWO doors. One has Hell's Kitchen on it. The other has Great American Road Trip on it. You can keep what you have or trade for a door.
Jason: Road Trip. I will trade.
Josh: I'll keep my schtuff
Chico: Josh keeps his games. So you're happy.
Gordon: Chico, what's the underlying rule of this game?
Chico: Disagree with Jason?
Gordon: Never agree with Jason.
Jason: ROFL
Chico: So you're keeping your stuff? =p
Gordon: Which means Im keeping my stuff.
Chico: Good. No one went for the Hell's Kitchen door. If you chose it, you would've been going places...

ON A BICYCLE BUILT FOR SIX! You'll look like a complete dork pedaling up hills to the market so you can prep your opponent's kitchen while they head to the beach and laugh at you. Some would call it a CHASCO. I... call it sad.

Josh: ROTFLMAO
Gordon: Nice...wait a sec, so you mean Jason actually did something right?
Chico: Jason... you probably guessed that you've got the biggie. The question is How biggie. Well... take a look at this RV!
Jason: WOOT!
Josh: OOOOOOHHHHH
Gordon: Nice!

It's a 2009 Winnebago Vista 32K. Lots of room, lots of space. Lots of ways to drive your family... crazy. Jason, you're finally winning this game with a total of... $94,969!

Jason: Unreal!
Josh: Congrats.
Gordon: Finally.
Chico: Meanwhile, Gordon, I'll give you $5 if you can show me a commercial. And if it's a funny one, I'll give you $10.
Gordon: I got one right here.

(Brought to you by Top Kansas City Chief. We're looking for the best football player in Kansas City and Tampa Bay, because based on their NFL schedules, that may be the only fun thing they may be offering their fans. A combined 0-32 anyone?)

Chico: You honestly think that they're not going to win anything?
Gordon: All of Tampas Home games this year, with the exception of Green Bay, are against teams that finished .500 or better.
Chico: I give them about 5 wins combined... and I give YOU the Speed Round! BB: Is there any way Jeff changes the nominees?
Jason: Nope.
Josh: No, sorry.
Gordon: I think sanity takes hold, so no.
Chico: I agree. Any Millionaires on Millionaire?
Josh: Not for at least a year.
Gordon: No more millionaires. No one's gotten close.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Okay... ABDC. Who gets to be a Power Ranger and who gets to be the unlucky guy in the monster costume on martial arts week?
Gordon: I'll say Southern Movement gets the bowel movement off the show.
Chico: Tres clever. Okay, I think we have time for ONE mail this week
Gordon: Who you got?
Chico: Josh Johannesen
Josh: A fellow Josh. This oughta be good.

Chico: Thanks, Josh. I think you raise some very valid points, but at the top of my list personally is ... go in with an idea. Melissa D'Arabian had an idea. It clicked.
Gordon: I think you have to remember you're competing not just as a chef, but as a spokesman. You are representing the network. Any thought of chicanery, if it's caught (and yes, it will be caught), will mean your walking papers.
Chico: You have to know how to work an idea... and you have to be charming about it. This is light entertainment basic cable TV after all.
Jason: You can't be style over substance. You have to have the chops to back up your plan. Most of the people don't HAVE the pure culinary vision.
Josh: Guy Fieri I think has one, and he's been successful with his own shows.
Chico: Now Guy's all over the place.
Josh: Yup. Even at TGI Fridays
Chico: Yeah. I wish he wouldn't pick off my plate, though :-)
Josh: LOL
Gordon: Thanks for the email, Josh. Now if you have an email you want to send, where does it go?
Chico: wlti@gameshownewsnet.com, of course. Bonus points if you name and shame any casting directors that cast characters instead of players :-) We're also on Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube. Jason Block and Agent Josh, thanks as always...
Josh: As always, an honor, pleasure and privledge.
Jason: Thank you guys so much.
Gordon: And very special thanks to Bob Goen and Marianne Curan
Chico: VERY special thanks to them. And as always, thanks to you for reading. For Gordon Pepper and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander... game over and Spread the Love!
