Episode 16.2
September 17
 Chico: That's a cut. That's a club banger right there.
Gordon: Enjoy his last album before he goes into retirement
Jason: Actually I have both albums...Kanye's is much better.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: As he's getting pummeled by Kanye West's album in sales.
Jason: is just well...there.
Gordon: Kanye reinvented himself. 50...didn't.
Jason: yup
Chico: So "The Answer".. would be kinda a step up for him. =p
Jason: lol
Gordon: Funny you should mention that, because we have....a beautiful
sunrise...a crying baby....a NEW GAME!
Jason: aw...its cute...
Gordon: It is. The Game is called...What If? I give you a 'What If' situation,
and you tell me the ramifications.
Jason: Got it.
Gordon: For example...
What If...Eric could have voted against America's wishes? Who would be the final
2?
Chico: Jessica and Jameka. And Eric would stand and smile... as he was voting
for his sweety.
Gordon: I think it would be Eric and Zach. Jameka is useless in competitions and
Zach would have bulldozed through anyone not named Donato.
Chico: But yeah, if people played with their brains... instead of their
hearts... Dick & Daniel would not be in the position they are.
Gordon: There were so many opportunities to get rid of one or both of them -
they have no one to blame but themselves.
Chico: Yeah.
Gordon: That being said, Eric had to convince America to keep them in play, so
it will be fun to see their expressions when that happened.
Chico: That's. just... yeah.
Gordon: Next one...
What If...as long as you didn't hit the million, you could return as a Power of
10 Champion?
Jason: You mean compete in the round of 2?
Gordon: Yes
Jason: I like that idea. Makes things interesting. The budget would still be
the same.
Chico: Oh totally.
Jason: And you could have someone to root for.
Chico: Plus, you'd probably build one or two national heroes.
Gordon: I think it would add spice to the show - also would create more risk.
There were some people that I would have loved to see have another crack at it.
Jason: So Michael...I can call you that right...give it a thought.
Chico: Even better...
Jason: lol
Chico: EVEN BETTER.
Jason: What?
Chico: Give the player a choice.
Jason: How do you mean?
Chico: "You can keep that money you won, that $1,000... or you can come back as
returning champion and try for more."
Gordon: Eh. I think it sort of counters the idea.
Chico: Really?
Gordon: Yeah. if you won $100,000, and you didn't want to risk it to drop to
$10,000, why would you risk it and if you lost, walk out with nothing?
Chico: Ah. Point taken.
Gordon: Though it would be funny to have a wheel of rotating contestants and CBS
spend nothing in it's budget.
Jason: lol
Chico: Hear that, waytraffic? :-)
Gordon: Next one...
What If...Sanjaya Malakar actually won American Idol?
Jason: I said this in my column...the show would be gone. Done. Finished.
Chico: Agreed.
Jason: The arenas would be empty. Worse than now.
Chico: You'd have the biggest s(^_^) fit in the history of television.
Gordon: You think that the producers are taking notes from last season?
Chico: Yep. You should make a book on this for producers... Cite Sanjaya.. and
Amber Tomcavage. "How not to create controversy."
Jason: If they have any brains, they would look at season 3 on how NOT to do it.
Chico: The kicker is.. Sanjaya was genuinely talented...
Gordon: He was when he didn't have to perform in front of thousand of screaming
fans
Chico: But someone at that age, starts believing what people write about
him...it all goes to s(^_^).
Chico: Look at the last 17 year old to explode.
Gordon: But yet, Jordin Sparks was 17 also - and she won it.
Chico: Yeah, but we all know she has a head on her shoulders... I say at least
two more albums before she starts to come around.
Gordon: Next one...
What If...The Tila Tequila Show is a hit?
Jason: Not much actually. MTV has been known to have gay and lesbian dating
shows. This is nothing new.
Chico: Then it's a hit, and MTV orders another season and Tila gets another
100,000 Myspace friends.
Gordon: This is the first Bi-Dating show
Chico: That's pretty much it.
Gordon: In this format
Jason: Big deal. This is MTV...
Chico: I mean, look at the average audience of MTV. They have the attention span
of a walnut.
Gordon: Do you think that it would make bi-people more popular and spark off
something in that direction?
Chico: No.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Again, it's MTV. Who cares.
Gordon: You have those wacky MTV people...
Chico: No one cared that Bravo did it.
Gordon: Bravo doesn't get nearly the market that MTV does. You don't get Bravo
Chico: Sure, just throw that in my face =p
Gordon: Chico needs a huuuuuug
Jason: (HUG)
Gordon: Chico Tequila! Dates women, but lets men hug him
Jason: ROFL
Chico: Hey.. I'm hugging ya.. but I'm hitting ya....
Jason: lol
Chico: It's called "The man hug"
Jason: Next one
Gordon: Next one...
What If...one of FOX's Celebrities wins A Million Dollars on Are You Smarter
Than a 5th Grader?
Chico: Then that would be sad that a celebrity is smarter than the rest of us.
Especially after all the crap we give celebrities.
What If...said celebrity was Kellie Pickler?
Jason: Yeah!
Chico: That'd be freaking hilarious.
Jason: Go Kellie!
Gordon: I would laugh my butt off. THAT may get the highest ratings of the year.
Chico: I'd watch.
Jason: For One Millon Dollars...spell Calamari
Chico: HA!
Gordon: Last one...
What If...Gordon, Chico, Jason, Don and Travis Eberle were all the contestants
on Without Prejudice?
Jason: I get eliminated first.
Gordon: Well, that's a given
Jason: Thanks much.
Gordon: No prob ;)
Chico: I'd at least get to the interview... Don would as well.
Jason: Chico would win. He has the best story...depending on the judges.
Gordon: I agree.
Chico: I doubt it. I betcha at least one of the judges would've been like "His
mother died recently. Big deal."
Gordon: So Chico, go audition
Jason: Yeah.
Gordon: They love sexy bald Panamanians
Jason: And yes...bald and Sexy(TM) does rule.
Chico: I'm no one special. No, really, I'm about as average as they come.
Gordon: And with that modesty, we go to break
(Brought to you by Power of 100.... Where one person on one night can win
$1,000... $100,000... $10,000,000... $1,000,000,000.... up to
$100,000,000,000... Damn the budget.. full speed ahead!)
Jason: Who is running this?
Chico: ... I don't know.
(Game sponsored by Dewey, Cheatham and Howe)
Chico: Heh. Thanks.
Gordon: Time for...The big Finish!
Chico: Big Brother.. who wins?
Gordon: Gotta be Daniele.
Jason: Yup.
Gordon: Human Competition machine and everyone hates Dick
Chico: Who'll be the Last Comic Standing?
Gordon: Lovelllllzzzzzzz
Chico: Wake up...
Jason: zzzzzzzzzzz
Gordon: Will we get any big winners on Deal or No Deal this week?
Jason: Yes. And it won't be legit...stunt wins.
Gordon: Will we get anything legit on Wheel/Jeopardy/Millionaire?
Jason: I would hope to think so.
Chico: Hope so.
Gordon: Any mail this week?
Chico: We got mail. It's from the Voice of Brainvision News... the most vocal
man in the fandom... literally... Mr. Doug Morris.

FROM: Doug Morris
Love the new design on GameShowNewsNet.com. It still has that new template
smell. BTW, does anyone know what the exchange rate is between the "Temptation
dollar" and the "National Lampoon Funny Money" dollar? Hat's off to Joe Van
Ginkel's review of "Temptation: The Game Show Tarnishing the Legacy of $ale of
the Century". I basically agree with everything he said. If Jim Perry cracked
open a bottle of champagne after seeing the train wreck that was "Card Sharks"
six seasons again, he should get on a conference call with Summer Bartholomew
and as many other cast and crew members as possible -- for another round of
champagne.

Chico: Thanks Doug. I'll say it again. It's a solid game... It's just not Sale
of the Century.
Gordon: I agree with that, and unfortunately, we have to judge it against SOTC,
because that what it claims to be
Chico: That's right. That, and Fremantle has a preset mindset like "This is how
you make a game show in 2007..." And it doesn't work. You say you're Sale... you better be Sale.
Gordon: I've got the Jason Block Idolization letter of the week!
Jason: lol
Gordon: This one from Erskine Thompson. Thanks, Erskine!

TO: WLTI
FROM: Erskine Thompson
I watched the American Idol preview of this show. I TiVoed it. I got my wife,
who doesn't watch game shows (except for Grand Slam) to watch it with me,
because I was so excited about the return of "Sale of the Century." Then I saw
"Wipeout" instead. She looked at me about 15 minutes in and said, "Are you sure
you remember the right show, because this isn't anything like you described it."
I promptly took her to YouTube and showed her how the game is SUPPOSED to be
done. An absolute embarrassment.

Chico: WHOA.
Gordon: Well the fans have spoken on Temptation. That's why it's averaging under
a 1.0
Chico: Again, Ginger Simpson... moron.
Jason: It's an 0.6
Chico: Temptation actually scored better on MyNetwork TV. MY GAMES FREAKING
FEVER as well, and that's SAD.
Jason: You are serious?
Chico: Very.
Gordon: Painfully
Jason: Ginger Simpson...moron!
Gordon: But maybe GSN wants it. An 0.6 would be HUUUUUUGE
Jason: Ok
Gordon: Any more?
Chico: That's all on my end.
Gordon: Thats all I got. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us
Jason: As always a pleasure.
Chico: We'll see you back next week. I'm Chico Alexander. He's Gordon Pepper...
The show is WLTI... Until next time... Game over ...
Gordon: And Spread the Love
Chico: :-)
