Episode 16.1
September 10

Gordon:
This is Gordon Pepper and...there has been a Molly Ringwald sighting!
Chico: WHERE?!
Jason: Is she on a new reality show?
Don: Wha? Yeah, where?
Gordon: By her birthday cake
Jason: Sixteen Candles, guy.... :-)
Chico: Ah.. Sixteen candles.... are a lovely light...
Don: Nice.
Gordon: I would like to thank Jason Block for accurately explaining the first bad pun of the evening. I would also like to thank Brad Rutter, who will be our special guest this week in 20 Questions!
Jason: WHOOOO!
Chico: We will get to Brad later on in the show, but right now, we begin the new season with talking about Big Brother, Grand Slam, 5th Grader, and an event 18 years in the making, the return of Sale of the Century... sort of.
Jason: Sort of?
Chico: And it all begins with this... From Somewhere in America... the 16th season of We Love to Interrupt... is.... *cups ear*
Jason: ON!
Gordon: YAY!
Don: WHOO!
Chico: Chico Alexander with you alongside Gordon Pepper and esteemed panelists Jason Block and Don "Donut" Harpwood.
Jason: Great to be here as always.
Chico: Don, does Canada have an Idol yet? :p
Don: Close. The final is this coming week.
Chico: Ah. Cool.
Jason: Who is your choice?
Don: I'd have to go with Brian Melo, and not just because I live near his hometown. :-)
Chico: Although that does help a bit.
Don: Yep.
Chico: So why the talk about Idols in the middle of September?
Gordon: Because they are infiltrating a show that has come to much fanfare in the game show community
Chico: That's right.
Jason: Um...guys...are you sure it returned?
Chico: We'll get to that, J.
Jason: lol
Chico: Let's talk about the show that aired on Wednesday. Temptation previewed with two episodes on MyNetwork TV... which I'm wondering why MyNetwork TV is still on the air, but that's another matter. Anyway, on the show are three former American Idol contestants... Mikalah Gordon, Justin Guarini, and Kimberly Caldwell. Mikalah won both of the matches. Kim... wasn't even trying... and Justin was kinda in the middle. It was good to see celebs playing as players as opposed to celebs looking to get a word in edgewise. But still, this is what they had to contend with... Big Board, please.


Idols & Temptation

- Sprint Rounds
- Fame Game
- Instant Bargains
- A "Knock Off"
 

Chico: The Subject: Idols and Temptation. Round 1 is a 30-second Sprint Round. Not unlike anything you haven't seen before. Then comes the first instant bargain. AGAIN nothing you haven't seen before. Then comes the Fame Game. It's played just like the old Fame Game, except that it's $15 flat instead of a pick on the Fame Game board AND it has a little bit of a Wheel tossup thrown in.
Gordon: For those stupid people that need the answer spelled out for them.
Don: When I saw that, I was kinda hoping that the flat $15 would be just for the celeb games.
Jason: Nope..its for everything.
Chico: Then comes another Sprint round, this time played as a dis-or-dat.
Jason: You Don't Know Temptation...pretty much
Gordon: Or Remote Control Temptation
Chico: Then another Instant Bargain.
Jason: You forgot the home shopping in between commercials.
Chico: I don't accept them. =p
Jason: ok
Don: The home shopping felt like an afterthought to me.
Chico: They have no bearing on the game, I don't accept them.
Jason: Got it
Chico: Then comes "Knockoff", a game that's just like round 2 of Wipeout, except without the whole betting issue. One subject, 12 answers, 9 of them are right.
Gordon: So that means the game itself is a knockoff :-)
Chico: Irony, don't you love it?
Don: Indeed.
Jason: Theft is another word for it.
Chico: Instant Cash is next where your lead can buy you either $500 or $2500. Then the final Sprint Round for $10 a question instead of $5. Player with the most cash at the end wins.
Don: I'd have liked to see that final Sprint Round extended to 60 seconds instead of 30.
Chico: Me too, but the fact that they bumped the money up kinda makes it a wash. Then comes the endgame, "Super Knockoff", just like Knockoff only you get more money and less answers. Winner can take the cash and buy ONE thing from Shopper's Paradise, OR they can bank the winnings and return to play again UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
Chico: And as I said before. Mikalah won BOTH games. Obviously either very well read on pop culture or very eager to jump on the buzzer. Either way, not bad for a celeb player.
Gordon: I think she's very well read in pop culture. The questions were not exactly Millionaire level.
Jason: Uh....no.
Chico: Nope. Seems like any game that asks "What letter does Rossi and Shape share?" is not exactly for Ivy League grads. But you know, this is one of those games that works in theory. Variance of games with some instant bargains thrown in, and in the end, the best player wins. Again, works in theory.
Jason: But this isn't Sale of the Century. This isn't Australian Temptation.
Chico: It's change for the sake of change, I'll give you that much.
Jason: As a game show, it's ok. As Sale of the Century...it's dreck.
Chico: So far as game shows are concerned, yeah it's harmless. People will lash out and say that this is a spit in the face of a great franchise, but in the long run... It'll be dismissed with the same amount of dismissal as was met with Joker's Wild 1990.
Jason: which was?
Chico: Basically "This show sucks, let's move on, shall we?"
Jason: Which is my theory. lol
Chico: It wasn't the dog that year. Tic Tac Dough.. That was the dog.. and for the most part, it was a by-the-book remake.
Jason: Bad host though made a bad show.
Gordon: Well you can look at it in 3 ways. And so I will give it 3 different grades
Chico: Well let's get to the reviews then.
Gordon: Review #1. Comparison to the original Sale of the Century.
Chico: Good: Instant Bargains... enticement... Rapid fire rounds... The option to return for another game.
Jason: I like those parts of it.
Chico: Bad: Too much game, not enough hard quiz, which was the bulk of Sale... and the Fame Game change was unneeded. So as a comparison to the original Sale... I'm going to go with a C-.
Gordon: Too much change was unneeded. Did we really need Wipeout and Remote Control Retreads?
Chico: Again, change for the sake of change. But the timbre was there.
Jason: Comparison to Original Sale: D.
Gordon: To quote Wellington Mara from the Nnew Y ork Giants, Change is only needed if it causes an improvement. This changed the game from a solid trivia quizzer to a teen geared eye-candy fest. True fans of the show would be convulsing in pain. D.
Don: Comparing it to the original SotC, I'd give it a D+.
Chico: Okay, review #2?
Gordon: Next review....comparison to the Australian Version of Temptation
Chico: Good: the set looks a lot better. The questions are on tempo, rather quick.
Gordon: Do the Australians get to play Wipeout?
Chico: Yes... on "Wipeout". Which isn't airing no more.
Gordon: But do they get to play it on Temptation?
Chico: No.
Gordon: Do they play Wheel of Fortune Fame Game?
Chico: they play the Fame Game... MINUS the Wheel board.
Gordon: Do they play Remote Control This or That?
Chico: On some of the questions, but they don't have a whole round devoted to it. More Bad: I wish they kept the rolling cash jackpot and the "buying the lot"
Gordon: So basically if I'm an Australian and I see Temptation and I'm watching this, I'm going to feel rather ill.
Chico: Yes you are. They would've done better to just TWEAK the Aussie formula.
Don: Definitely.
Gordon: So then I'd be going to the bathroom and having a D for diarrhea.
Jason: Sorry this isn't what got the show on the air. Another D for me.
Chico: So comparison to Temptation... D for me.
Don: D here as well.
Chico: I don't know whose idea it was to overhaul the game, but let's just say the buck stops at the top. Ginger Simpson... is a moron.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: Andrea Zecker, exec in charge for 20th TV... also a moron. Seems like those two were just listening to a bunch of talking heads that told them, "Hey! Let's go for this sort of demographic, and screw everyone else!" Am I right?
Jason: Yes.
Don: Sounds about right.
Chico: Because in the end, the bottom line is just that... the bottom line. Entertainment nowadays is money first, entertainment second. Alright, NOW to Review #3.
Gordon: Now this would be...if we never heard about Sale of the Century and graded this show in its own right.
Chico: Good: Rossi Morreale, as a rookie game show host... kinda surprised me. Of course, editing helps, but he makes the sale when he needs to. Although I do have an issue with "Every host needs to look the same." But I like his approach. Have no problem with the approach. As far as being a self-supportive people-centered game... It works. And as I said before, the theory behind it is solid.
Gordon: I think its too early to judge Rossi because he's also not dealing with civilians.
Chico: Well, dealing with celebs, he can hold his own, and that's good. Not many people can do that and keep a straight face.
Gordon: I think he will have a different tact. I also think that the pacing will be better. id much rather have it too fast than long and drawn out
Chico: The bad:... the prizes are sort of on the chintzy level.
Gordon: I don't think those prizes would stop anyone from buying anything. And the As Seen On Items were total dreck.
Jason: The Apple iPhone stuff was nice.
Chico: I'd buzz in for that.
Gordon: They weren't selling the Apple iPhone to us civillians.
Chico: I don't accept that. Not part of the game. So as a game... I'm actually going to give it a B-.
Gordon: As far as an iPhone...was it offered before the price drop?
Jason: lol
Chico: Yep. Maybe somewhere down the line, we can get one of those iPod Touches to go with it.
Gordon: I'm going to go up the middle. I would watch it if there was nothing else on and it will get better. C
Chico: Yeah, there's a lot of room for improvement, but there's also a lot of potential.
Gordon: But a zero on the originality of the games will not allow me to grade it any higher.
Don: On its own, I'd have to say B-. I am feeling hopeful that we will be seeing improvements to it.
Chico: So basically what we're all agreeing to is "It could be better, thank God it isn't worse."
Jason: No I am saying, it's crap. It's unadulterated dreck that should have never been aired. D for Dreck.
Gordon: Moving on...
Chico: ... BB has its Final Four in place.. and America's Player is... out of place. Eric and Jessica were voted out in a DUAL elimination round.
Gordon: The Donatos teamed up to get rid of Jessica, while Dick won the HOH, which led Daniele and Zach to get rid of Eric.
Chico: That alliance didn't last long, did it?
Gordon: It lasted long enough for the Donatos to border on complete control of the game.
Chico: Again, daddy?
Gordon: Daniele, Zach, Jameka and Dick are left. Zach is the new HOH
Chico: He put up Dick and Daniele on the block... To which I say.... "Geez, what took you so long?"
Jason: Yeah. AFT
Gordon: Zach is not a moron. He knows that he can't get to the final 2 unless he wins HOH if he's going up against both Donatos. He probably gets there if Jamekla wins HOH in the final 3. However, we still have the Power Of Veto to deal with.
Chico: Ah.
Don: And if either Dick or Daniele wins...
Gordon: If either Donato wins it, Jameka is gone. Then its 2 against 1 in the finals
Chico: But that's okay with Jameka, because she's a Real Woman of Jeebus.
Jason: Another one of the "good people"?
Chico: Yeah, one of them.
Jason: oh boy.
Gordon: The last of the Good People
Chico: But still, if either Donato wins it, one of them will end up the winner of BB8. If Jameka won the veto, it would be a de facto vote against the other.
Gordon: Can I have another Big Board Please?


Who Wins If...

- Jameka wins if she gets into the finals
- Zach... can't win
- Donato wins with POV
 

Gordon: This is my favorite part of the Big Brother year. Who wins if... If Jameka gets to the finals, she wins. The Late Night crew seem to be a spiteful group.
Chico: HOW SPITEFUL ARE THEY?
Gordon: I'm guessing they will not play on good game and will play on emotion. Jameka has done NOTHING in this game, but she'll win because she's liked
Chico: That's pretty damn spiteful. How about Zach. What happens if he gets into the finals?
Gordon: Zach can't win.
Jason: why not?
Gordon: Not only has he also done nothing, but he's not liked. A Donato will win before Zach, because they played the game - even Dick.
Jason: Of the two Donatos who is favored?
Gordon: I would think Daniele will be favored. She has ins with Zach and I don't see Jen EVER voting for Dick. That's 2 right there. Dustin would vote for Daniele.
Chico: Eric would vote for whoever America tells him to. I think Dick has the edge there.
Gordon: So if a Donato wins POV, a Donato will probably win Big Brother.
Chico: Yeah. I haven't seen a deck stacked so high since the Jeopardy! guy took on Ogi on Grand Slam.
Jason: The J! guy vs. the Zen Millionaire dude.
Gordon: But they are only playing for $100,000 - which is what we could have seen someone win on Power of 10 this week. But Nooooooo. Once again we see two people going for the million - and losing. The first question, please?
Chico: Here we go again.

What percentage of Americans think the US will still exist as a country in 100 years?

Chico: With a 10 point range. Lock in your guesses... And ... what do we have? I already saw the show, I know the answer. Player locks in 83-93%
Don: For that one, personally, I'd have thought it would be a high number, like around 85-95%.
Jason: 60-70
Gordon: I'm going to say 40-50
Chico: You're all wrong. All of you! ALL OF YOU! WRONG!
Gordon: Are we wrong?
Chico: YOU'RE WRONG!
Gordon: As in not right?
Chico: AS IN WRONG!
Chico: Correct answer... 74%. Daniel leaves with $10,000.
Gordon: Aaaaaand...Contestant #2?
Chico: Wednesday's show featured this gem..

What percentage of Americans think the world would be a better place if America ruled all of it?

Chico: 10-point range. Lock in your guesses now.
Don: Seems like a tough one. I'd have guessed about 45-55%, but I would have walked.
Gordon: I'll say 20-30
Jason: I had this nailed...I was on the phone with Gordon.
Jason: I said 10-20
Chico: Don would've gotten $100,000...Jason would've gotten a million... Gordon... YOU'RE...
Gordon: but I would have walked also.
Chico: Sure.. say it as I'm typing =p
Gordon: Jason was my witness - weren't you, Jay
Jason: He said on the phone...no joke...I am running like the wind :-)
Chico: But the correct answer... 19%.
Gordon: By the way, I told Jason that you were going to give him his million.
Chico: I don't MAKE a million. So sorry, you're just gonna have to go somewhere else, home slice.
Jason: Fine, be that way. lol
Chico: Sean leaves with $10,000 as well.
Jason: Just an aside, Drew is looking really good as host. He has improved.
Chico: There's a definite divide here. These are part of the back four that were ordered by CBS.
Jason: Meaning this was after he got the TPIR gig.
Chico: They were all taped after he got the TPIR gig. But you know, game shows nowadays, they can tape so many segments, then piece them together to make an hour.
Gordon: I'm happy he is holding his own. I've also been hearing that he's been VERY good at the TPIR tapings.
Chico: It's why the 5th Graders always wear the same clothes.
Gordon: So like we have a new host in Drew, and it seems like we would have had a whole new class of 5th graders...
Chico: New season... new episode... same class? To quote my cohort in crime... WHA!?
Gordon: Pretty much. Explain why he have 6th graders as 5th graders.
Don: I thought I was seeing a rerun on Thursday, though I didn't remember seeing that contestant before.
Gordon: Does that mean that all of the kids flunked out and are now left back?
Jason: Or maybe it was taped before the new class.
Chico: Probably, but this was a new player... and we may want to remember this guy's name here. Marine Corps Capt. Robert Rudder... MAKES it to the Million Dollar Question.
Jason: Oh boy
Chico: The category: World History. The question... and Don, I'm EXPECTING you to answer this correctly...

Which Frenchman was the first European explorer to navigate the St. Lawrence River in Canada?

Don: Wasn't that Cartier? Jacques Cartier?
Gordon: That would have been my guess.
Chico: Jason?
Jason: Mine as well
Chico: Okay, the bad news is that Robert didn't have the faintest idea. The good news is that he dropped out before hearing the question, going home with $500,000. And were the three of you in his shoes... You'd all be RIGHT! YOU'D BE RIGHT!
Jason: Nice.
Gordon: Whoo hoo.
Don: Yay
Gordon: Chico - you owe us all a million.
Chico: You do realize I DON'T make a mill, right.
Gordon: I want a million dollar annuity with $1 a year for the next million years.
Chico: How about just a hamster... You want a hamster? It's worth more than a dollar?
Gordon: You're selling off our hamsters?
Chico: No... Chen-Bot had babies!
Jason: no way!
Don: Cool!
Gordon: So what are the names of our new litter?
Chico: We have Carpenter... Trela... House... Goodman...KenJen... and Amanda. Because she has the mole... right below her lip there.
Jason: lol
Gordon: Goodman?
Chico: I like John Goodman :-)
Jason: lol
Gordon: So, for all of you at home paying attention... We need hamsters to run our Brainvision machine to give you all the news. We now have Fluffy, Cheeseball, Gordon Jr., Chairman, Cuckoo, J-Fat, Chen-Bot, and Eve the cat...and now the new class: Carpenter, Trela, House, Goodman, KenJen and Amanda.
Chico: And check out the baby hats...
Jason: Aw how cute
Gordon: 13 Hamsters and 1 Cat. 1 more and we can do a Hamster Big Brother
Chico: .... Amanda's still learning how to spell :-)
Gordon: This is The Hamster, not The Swan.
Don: lol
Jason: Yeah!
Chico: They all say "Roll" "That" "Beautiful" "Brain" "Footage" and "Gordon".
Gordon: Is that a hint?
Chico: Maybe. Show'm how it'd done, G.
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: You're first, G.
Gordon: You want a date?
Jason: Yes :-)
Chico: So C&G's Datebook is now official :-)

Last One Standing is on October 4th, while America's Smartest Model sashays on October 7. I Love NY 2 - October 8

Chico: Flying boobies, smart boobies, and... just plain old boobs.
Gordon: Pretty much
Chico: It's good to see Ben Stein working again.
Gordon: True. He's a very underrated host
Jason: very good.
Chico: It's a very underrated anything. Next up, another new official... "The Business End..." We're getting all of our puns out of the way early.
Jason: sounds good.
Chico: Remember Jake Tauber?
Gordon: I do
Jason: please refresh
Don: I don't remember him...
Chico: He was exec VP of programming at GSN before Bob Boden.
Don: Ah.
Jason: ok

Well, Jake Tauber has a new beat, having been appointed exec VP of Programming at NTN/Buzztime.

Chico: For those that don't know, Buzztime/NTN is the trivia game that is played at your local bar and/or grill.
Jason: A great way to pass the time.
Chico: Because quesadillas take a long-ass time to cook... apparently.
Jason: Hey it's a good time to get boozed up and play trivia. I love it.
Gordon: Speaking of cooking, I grilled up some flounder with some Haterade sauce. Want some?
Chico: Nummy!
Jason: Yummy...smells delicious.
Don: Mmm...
Chico: Marinate that sucker.
Gordon: We start with something new in our Subdivision, called Are You Smarter Than...
Chico: Me likey
Don: This oughta be good.
Jason: What's the concept?
Gordon: This week...

Are You Smarter than... Gordon Ramsay? Gordon has decided that he wanted to cook commando style (commando for those who don't know is without undergarments). That means no nether-region protection, which is going to be an issue if your nether region catches on fire.... which it did. Or at least burning was involved.

Jason: Oh yeah...ow. :-)
Chico: *covers... self*
Jason: (crosses legs)
Don: Yipes...
Jason: (cringes)
Don: That hurts just thinking about it.
Gordon: Gordon went to the hospital, where he now has some Rocky Mountain Oysters in the oven.
Chico: Rocky Mountain Oysters, for those playing along... are buffalo testicles...
Gordon: But he doesn't get the Haterade.
Jason: Who does?

That goes to The American Idol Tour, which has the worst sales in the history of the tour.

Chico: Makes sense. It's the weakest class since season 3
Jason: Very much so.
Don: Indeed.
Gordon: They also raised the price by around 15% per ticket, which results in not a lot of sellouts and in some cases barely over half capacity
Jason: Except in Jordan's hometown.
Chico: That would be the Phoenix/Glendale, AZ area.
Gordon: Yes, but still...
Jason: that's bad for the franchise.
Chico: Worst. Sales. Ever. But no fret friends.. Usually, they rebound with a great class afterwards. At least that was the case with AI3 and AI4.
Jason: Lets hope.
Gordon: There's already been heat coming from the main office to get better talent...or else people will lose jobs.
Chico: Talk about strict. Just remember... AI is nothing without the talent.
Jason: Oh yeah.
Chico: No talent.. No show.
Gordon: Better believe it.
Chico: Next up... we've had dinner. Now let's get loaded.
Jason: Hic.

EA Sports is unleashing a new online sports trivia game show.

Gordon: YAY!
Jason: Yes!
Don: Nice!
Chico: You can compete with players from all across the country in a game show setting, it's free to download, and it begins broadcasting this fall.
Jason: I am SO there...if I can win an Xbox 360 or Ps3 I am so there.
Gordon: We like Free :-)
Chico: Doesn't get better than free.
Gordon: We also like sports hoes
Chico: *plays Pimpin All Over the World* Funny you should specifically mention Sports Hoes.
Gordon: And we like red sofas
Chico: Casting Couch time! How would you like to be an American Gladiator?
Gordon: That would be the first one

The first casting will happen this Saturday in Los Angeles, followed by auditions in New York, Chicago, Miami and Dallas throughout this month. Contestants and prospective Gladiators must be 18 years of age and U.S. citizens. At these live casting events, contestants should come wearing workout attire as their physical ability will be tested in the areas of strength, speed, balance and agility. Viewers who cannot attend the live castings should visit www.nbc.com/casting and click on American Gladiators to apply.

Jason: Note to NBC and this is dead serious...the Gladiators should have steroid testing. It will come up. We want our glads healthy.
Gordon: I don't disagree. Now if hosting a bingo show is more of your speed...

Go here to apply to be a game show hostess on Netwinner.com

Gordon: Meanwhile, if you want to be on HGTV's Highest rated show...
Chico: Who wants to be Design Star?

In the midst of season two, HGTV is getting ready for season three of HGTV Design Star and is launching a nationwide search for professional and amateur designers, architects and artists who have talent, experience and on-camera charisma to host their own show on HGTV.

Jason: Good deal.

And just to remind you about Nothing but the Truth, go Send an email with your age, location, contact information, occupation, a recent photo and a brief description of why you want to be on the show to: Twinsworld1@aol.com

Gordon: Now - who wants some hoes?
Jason: Oh yeah...new season...new hoes
Chico: ... hmmm.. Okay, I'll bite. I heard there was a couple of married hoes now.

Carrie Underwood chats about Tony Romo, Ralph Pagano finds work on TV with MOJO, Ryan Seacrest may sing during the Emmys. DWTS's Alec and Edyta get married, while Andy Baldwin, not getting married, now has to give the ring BACK to ABC.

Jason: oops
Gordon: There's some Network Haterade for you
Jason: That is Haterade
Chico: Hey, they went this long... Can you blame them?
Gordon: As for the Ho of the Week - I couldnt decide so we have Co-Hoes!
Chico: We want to see a marriage!
Gordon: Well, the first co-ho will show you one. Bill Rancic is having a pretty good week. Not only is he a new host on iVillage, but he got married over the weekend and you may get to see the televised version on E!
Jason: congrats!
Gordon: The other one - well this is a new low on Hoing.
Jason: How low is it?
Gordon: Tila Tequila, the MySpace bi-sexual, will now have his/her/it's own dating show on MTV. Tila will be able to select from a poll of 32 people, including men AND women, to go into the house.
Jason: whoa whoa whoa... what?
Chico: 32's a bit much, don't you think?
Don: Wow.
Jason: I see more catfights than ever.
Gordon: Man Vs. Woman. Cat Fights. Ménage a Trois. I'm guessing this will NOT be considered family entertainment. And those...are your hoes.
Don: Not by a long shot, by the sounds of it.
Chico: Umm... no :-) Finally, we're going global with our friends in the UK...

Busy British media hoes Ant & Dec are only getting busier on both ends of the Atlantic. First of all, ABC has hired an "interpreter" to decode their "Geordie accents".

Jason: lol.

Meanwhile, in the UK, they sign on to produce a British version of the a French game, Duel.

Gordon: OK. Does anyone else besides me see a looming problem with this?
Chico: Why's that?
Gordon: Well with the people involved, for starters, how are you going to host a show if you can't be understood by the contingency that's you're hosting?
Jason: That's true :-)
Chico: Well, they did host World Idol without fault... Although .. and I said this before.. Editing helps. Okay, that's Brainvision. Shut'er down.
Gordon: (boooop)
Chico: We've got a big treat for you in a bit, but first, last week we asked if you were going to watch the American Idol editions of Temptation on Wednesday. 78% of you said you would DESPITE the Idols being there. Big difference from watching Big Brother players stinking up our TV on the Power of 10. Very interesting.
Jason: It's the game stupid :-) and the people :-)
Chico: ... Straight our of the book of Chico.
Jason: I read it...
Chico: Okay, Gordon, what's this week's question?
Gordon: This week is....well...with the new season upon us, it's time to play...RANK THE SHOWS! You guys once again decide the order of what we cover next week. Chico, you have the list of shows this week, right?
Chico: Absolutely.
Gordon: Well - list those bad boys!

Let's play "Rank the New"! Pick a favorite, any favorite...

Wheel of Fortune
Jeopardy!
Family Feud
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The Biggest Loser
That's the Question
Poker After Dark
Merv Griffin's Crosswords
Temptation

Chico: Enough to get you all cross-eyed.
Don: That's quite the list.
Jason: Big list
Chico: Eight shows. Results next week. When we come back. He survived three minutes in the Diamond, but can he survive the 20? We go head to head to head to head to head with a three-time gamer. This is We Love to Interrupt, celebrating five years of creamy game show goodness. :-)

(Brainvision News is brought to you by "The Power of Ken". Three former gameshow champs can't be wrong. There's no denying the power of Ken. )
