Episode 28.2 - East Coast West
Coast Beef
September 19
Chico: Hey, Gang. This is Chico Alexander... and
Gordon wanted to start this episode with a message. Mainly for me.
Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, and sometimes I wonder why in the world my
colleagues dare to doubt me.
Jason: Because America got it wrong. I don't care the outcome.
Gordon: In fact, I wonder why in the world they would even think of disagreeing
with me, the paragon of rightness (Flashes the 'I'm Always Right' card.)
Jason: You can flash the card all the want. America got it wrong.
Gordon: America isn't wrong. Ooh, it feels so good flashing that cards (flashes
it again)
Chico: Well, we have a shot at teaching Gordon a thing or two because NEXT WEEK
is a brand new fall season.
Jason: Yeah.
Chico: But... this week, we have to put up with all of this.
Gordon: Yay!
Chico: Ugh.
Gordon: So...From somewhere in Gordon Pepper's classroom (school is in session,
kids), this weeek's edition of WLTI...is...ON!
Jason: WHOO HOO!
Chico: joining us, you know him, you love him... to a fault, our guest Mr. Jason
Block.
Jason: Glad to be here.
Chico: Great to have you. Now, this summer, we had question. This week. We
promise you answers. First of all.. Who's Got Talent?
Chico: Answer... NOT POPLYFE.
Gordon: Well they do have talent. They just picked a rotten time to have a bad
performance.
Chico: They picked a bad week to have a bad week.
Jason: I really felt bad for them.
Chico: I've said it before, and I'll say it again... They need to sack their
singer. But that left THREE capable acts to take the big prize. Two dancers and
a singer. When in doubt, go with the status quo, because the best act almost
NEVER wins.
Jason: Yeah. America are a bunch of idiotic sheep.
Gordon: Wrong, wrong, wrong. The best act won.
Chico: I don't think so.
Jason: Not even close.
Gordon: I do. If you remember, I called it last week and I called exactly how
ALL FOUR POSITIONS were going to break down.
Chico: I think the Silhouettes were the best act of the night. Landau Eugene
Murphy was good... but not better than the Silhouettes that night.
Jason: Landau Murphy for all of his trappings, is nothing but a lounge singer.
And not a very good one at that.
Gordon: Out of the 3 acts left, Landau Murphy is a PERFECT representation of
Vegas. Did I or did I not get the order exactly right?
Jason: You did. That doesn't mean that America was right, does it?
Gordon: I think they completely got it right, and once again, I'll explain why.
And you don't have America to blame here. It's the acts fault.
How the Wild West Was Won
- Poplyfe: Picked a bad week to have
a bad week
- iLuminate: Didn't have a bridging act
- Silhouettes: Not Vegas Enough
- Landau Eugene Murphy: JUST Vegas Enough
|
Gordon: The Subject: How the Wild West was won.
Now Poplyfe, we know why they lost,
Chico: They cracked.
Gordon: Bad time to have a bad performance.
Jason: They choked.
Chico: Khelani went through puberty on stage. Embarrassing.
Jason: Yeah.
Gordon: Now why did Team Illuminate come in third? I outlined this last week,
but let's outline this again. Hey Chico?
Chico: Yes, Gordon.
Gordon: What were the themes of Illuminates act for the past few weeks? Let's
not even talk about the last performance yet. Let's talk about their acts.
Chico: Mostly video game riffs. We had Legend of Zelda, we had Mortal Kombat,
and then there's the whole Tron-like aspect of the act itself.
Gordon: You had the original act, the dragon/phoenix combo, Mortal Kombat and
Zelda. What does that cater to?
Jason: Gamers...and stoners :)
Gordon: Younger age gamers and stoners, and an old fart like Jason.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: now...what is the age demographic of the people who vote?
Chico: Put it to you like this... OLDER THAN JASON.
Gordon: Wow that's old. I think Methuselah is by his phone still trying to dial
in.
Jason: HA Ha HA. :)
Chico: But yeah, pensioners and/or familymen/women.
Gordon: Team Illumintate failed to do 2 things 1. Tell a cohesive story in the
last stunt and 2. More importantly, do no themes to draw in the older (and more
frequent) voters.
Chico: All they had were, and I'm not lying... dancing hearts. It was the best
light show they've ever done, to be sure, BUT in terms of the whole act, it was
literally all flash and no fire.
Jason: Exactly. No Coherent Story.
Gordon: They were nice dancing hearts. But all it seemed to me was dancing
hearts. Whoopie. If I wanted to see blinking dancing hearts, I could put in
electrodes to my Lucky Charms cereal. So is it a surprise they didn't win? No.
Chico: Now the big question... What did Landau do that the Silhouettes DIDN'T
do?
Gordon: Now lets go to the Silhouettes.
Jason: You mean the uncrowned champions?
Gordon: No. I mean the second placed team that deserved to finish in second.
First of all, their number that they did perform was excellent
Jason: Yes it was.
Gordon: However. We have had 5 seasons of AGT. We know who the audience
gravitates to. MORE IMPORTANTLY, what is the underlying theme of the show? What
kind of act is the judges looking for? What does the winner get?
Chico: If I may do my Nick Cannon..
Gordon: Please do.
Chico: "ONE MILLION DOLLARS AND A HEADLINE SHOW IN LAS VEGAS!"
Gordon: 'VEGAS SHOW'
Chico: I can see where you're going with this.
Gordon: Now forget Landau being tailor made for Vegas for one second. The onus
is on The Silhouettes to not only be Vegas ready, but to get out of the box and
expand. What they did was great. What they didn't do was show any sort of Vegas
stuff. Being completely cynical here, they spoke about 'Education' and 'Love'
and 'Experience' and 'Patriotism'. These are all great ideas. HOWEVER, they
never got out of that box.
Chico: They needed a new theme basically. They're kids, they don't know about
things like vice and excitement and whatever else goes on in Gordon's mind.
Gordon: If the Silhouettes wanted to expand, they needed to do Vegas, or the Rat
Pack, or anything to show they are more than a one message pony. They were
excellent and they did an excellent final performance, They just did the wrong
one.
Jason: I will go to my deathbed saying they did EXACTLY WHAT THEY needed to do
to win.
Gordon: Then you will be a hollow and shattered man. Because they didn't do what
they needed. They needed to be a Vegas Act for just one night and they didn't
accomplish it. Now over to Landau, who I have the feeling, if the votes came
out, would have been the favorite from the start.
Chico: Okay, let's get the obvious out of the way. He's a singer.
Gordon: The producers did EVERYTHING to try to get him to not win, including
putting him in first in the finale.
Chico: That could've been a draw issue.
Gordon: Not a chance First of all, he IS a singer, and America loves to put the
singers through.
Gordon: I think the only way a singer doesn't win is if the only vocalist who
auditions is Jason.
Jason: Pretty much.
Gordon: But there's more to that.
Chico: Right.
Gordon: #2. Was it self-indulgent? Oh yes. But was it the right song?
Absolutely. It's never been done on Idol or AGT and it's the most challenging
song and performance that he did on the show.
Chico: And here's the thing - he just provides the final coda to his repertiore.
Is it played? YES. But it fits into who he is.
Gordon: I agree. #3. The first half of the song WAS shaky. I'll agree with Jason
on that. But people don't remember the first half of the song. They remember the
coda and money note, and he nailed that.
Jason: I honestly don't think he did. I just saw ego and self-indulgence.
Gordon: Forget your biases on who you WANTED to see win and listen to the
performance. The Silhouettes last performance fit who they are too, but the
point is this; Landau is the ONLY act who gave us a Vegas show. And when you
think Vegas, you think Landau and a crooner going through standards over a bunch
of little kids who'll be performing way past their bedtime.
Jason: I do. Thats the point.
Gordon: Right. So that's how Landau won.
Chico: YAY.
Gordon: Now let's go to how Porsche lost.
Gordon: As we said last week, whoever won the HOH was going to win the whole
thing.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: Not only did Rachel do that, She's also the first person in Big Brother
history to win the first HOH, then go on to win the whole thing.
Gordon: Adam quickly gets himself knocked out of the final HOH, which
effectively knocks him out of the money, because neither lady should pick him.
Chico: Right.
Gordon: The final HOH winner was...Rachel.
Chico: And she honors a deal she had with Porsche to take her to the final vote.
Gordon: She wisely takes Porsche and defeats her 4-3.
Jason: Wisely?
Chico: I'd think so.
Gordon: Well it's a no brainer here. She takes Adam and she loses.
Chico: Yeah, what Gordon said. Adam had a better social game. Rachel had a
better strategic game. Porsche really had neither of those. So you need to go up
against a loser to win. Sucker way to win, I know, but it works.
Gordon: Its a lot closer than that. the key here was Shelly, who rewarded
gameplay over emotions
Chico: Right.
Gordon: As we discussed last week, most of these players voted on emotion. Adam
didn't piss anyone off in the house. As Jason rightly said last week, Adam
didn't play the game and shouldnt win the money based on that, but playing a
social game if sometimes as effective - even more so - than winning challenges.
Jason: You really think that Porsche/Shelly/Daniele/Kalia would have voted for
Adam in a block?
Chico: Nope.
Gordon: I do. Shelly would have given the money to Adam, who she had a secret
alliance with. Rachel did JUST enough to win.
Chico: And the other jurors?
Gordon: Well the veteran core (Jeff/Jordan/Brandon) voted for their own
Chico: That deal with Shelly might've just about did it. She was the flip.
Jason: Yes. But she did DESERVE to win it. She did win all the competitions to
keep her in there
Chico: Oh yeah. Daniele was the other flip, but in the end, the flip is moot
because the vote would've gone the same 4-3.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: But Rachel had the numbers to win... and she won it. No question about
it. She gets a trophy, too.
Chico: By the way, if you think you can do what Rachel did, go to CBS.com/bigbrother
to apply for a key. You could be the next moron we get to make fun of.
Gordon: Now continuing on the very action-packed filled Wednesday, we see that
Rachel didn't need a coach. Do 16 people on an island need a coach?
Jason: 8 of them do :)
Chico: 8 of them REALLY do. Time for a brand spanking new installment of...
pause for effect...
Jason: TA DA!
Chico: Let's run over the housecleaning tasks... Savaii are in RED, Upolu are in
BLUE. The leader of Savaii... OZZY LUSTH. The leader of Upolu, BEN "COACH" WADE.
Ozzy is the winningest tribesman in Survivor history. Coach... is the
DRAGONSLAYER. So which of their tribes escapes the moron moniker this week?
Would you believe... The Dragonslayer's?
Gordon: Believe it or not, the Dragonslayers tribe acted like a team. Ozzy's
team was too busy scrambling looking for idols and people to throw under the bus
Chico: Now the campaign leading to Tribal Council is simple: who's the bigger
moron: the moron who bricks it off of the rim in the challenge to give the win
to Coach's team, or the moron who rallies to keep that moron in the game?
Jason: The moron who bricks it. And says she's good at it :)
Chico: Now one would argue that it is way too early to begin playing the game
THAT HARD. And one would be right. Yes, ultimately it is every man for himself,
but you do yourself NO FAVORS if you personally send your team to Tribal.
Jason: These first few days are the balance between doing what's good for you
and staying under the radar
Gordon: You need Ozzy in the game. You don't need a poet who sucks at immunity
challenges who is also plotting the demise of your tribe.
Chico: Precisely.
Jason: Ha.
Chico: You can tell Semhar was up to something.
Gordon: Cochran should be checking his luggage tags. Unless he can find his way
in the Top 5, he's gone next.
Chico: Right. But Semhar... WAY too political to start. Way too political to
stay. That is called snuffing out an early threat who played a hand WAY TOO
EARLY.
Gordon: These people needed to stay in school. Perhaps with Jon Gabrus teaching
them.
Chico: Time for a review?
Gordon: Time for a review.
Chico: The game is "The Substitute". It's Michael Davies' newest joint. Cash Cab
in a classroom, basically. The game is in four rounds: Two two-player showdowns
in "Things You Should Know" (subjects in school) and "Things You Do Know"
(subjects in pop culture). In the middle is an Extra Credit question, where two
students from the first round get to play for a prize related to that question.
From there we go to "Things You Do". Which is another opportunity for learning
in the guise of a stunt. Winner gets to go on to the final round, "Things You
Think" (a best of five Family Feud Face Off), to take on another classmate
chosen by the rest of the class (they're called the People's Champ) for $5,000.
If the big winner wins, they get the $5000 all to themselves. If the People's
Champ wins, the rest of the class splits the cash. So before we start with the
good... Full disclosure... Gordon, Jason and I have all met Jon Gabrus. Good
guy. Now then... the good. The game is simple, straight forward, answer
questions win money.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: No fuss, no muss, no funny business.
Gordon: Jon Gabrus is solid as a host.
Jason: I like him.
Chico: He reminds me of Jack Black in School of Rock.
Jason: He fits the MTV Vibe personally
Chico: Actually, he reminds me of Jack Black in.... any Jack Black movie.
Gordon: And in terms of trivia, it's not bad. If I'm an MTV kid, I'm going to
follow along.
Chico: I'm also going to follow along. A good balance of trivia. A good balance
of game.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: The kids seem to like it. It's a party in a classroom.
Gordon: It's a party, complete with peer pressure and drama, but not too much of
it.
Chico: And if you're lucky, a few people get made fun of.
Jason: The balance is JUST right.
Chico: Right, Anne-Hathaway doppelganger?
Gordon: Right. Now for the bad.
Chico: Jon, as good as a host as he is... can't seem to turn off the Manic, if
you follow.
Jason: One note, yeah I got it. It can get repetitive
Chico: It really can. Especially during the first rounds.
Gordon: He can be, as well as the game format. Does this remind you of a
specific show which features a dog pound and Brooke Burns?
Jason: Dog Eat Dog?
Chico: I was going for more of an Ulrika Jonsson vibe but... yeah.
Jason: It's not original.
Chico: Nope.
Gordon: Nope. They did put it in the right time slot - 4:30, which is perfect
for the middle school set.
Jason: Oh yeah. Kids can laugh at their idiot brethren.
Chico: Yep.
Jason: And actually say hey, I can do that
Gordon: But how long is that attention span going to hold out?
Chico: Right after school, right before homework. How big was your attention
span at 16?

Gordon: MTV crowd? We'll see. but I do like the
show. We've seen it done before, but this is done well, and Gabrus, for the
most part, holds it together nicely. B-.
Chico: If I was a 16 year old, and I know we have a lot of students reading
this, I'd give it a go. It's a bit of an easy intro to the hard quiz genre for
the non-game show fans. It's got a little bit of everything. A couple of
wrinkles could use polishing, but overall, a decent effort. B.
Jason: Gordon is right. I like it. It's a nice little show. B-. And like
Silent Library, it can get bigger and better. If this takes off... can you
imagine it being paired WITH Silent Library?
Gordon: I think it should be, to be honest.
Jason: Oh yes :)
Chico: Give the MTV crowd a little something substantial other than Deena
Nicole's boobies. Speaking of substantial, It's time for a season premiere.
Family Feud launches #13 this week, and aside from a very obvious Joey Fatone
edit, you can hardly tell the difference.
Gordon: That would be a good thing.
Jason: Very much so.
Chico: Oh yeah. Steve Harvey picks up where we left off. And it seems that
everything survives the move to Georgia intact. But as we go into season 13...
I still have a few issues. In some ways the Feud is resurgent and lasting
longer than anything Fremantle has ever produced for the syndicated market. By
a mile. A country mile, if I'm being honest. But there are a few things that
could stand to be updated. Just a few. Feel free to add onto this wishlist. 1)
It's 2011. There's no reason why this show should not be produced for HD.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: 2) you lose Fast Money, you still get $5 a point. That's 1976 money.
Jason: Go $10?
Chico: $10's doable.
Gordon: um...no. $5 is good. You wish to kill a budget? $900 (average add)
times 180 shows = $162,000
Chico: Another possible $995 for a Fast Money loss isn't exactly budget
busting, when you consider that they're budgeted for $20,000 a show. It's
small.
Gordon: I'll tell you right now, there's no way they budget a prize fund for
$20,000 a show. It's like saying you have a 180 million dollar budget for
Millionaire.
Jason: They don't. :)
Chico: ... Point taken.
Gordon: So lets be realistic here. The usual standard budget per ration of
game show is 30-40%. So lets go with $8,000 an episode. $8,000 * 180 episodes
= $1,440,000. Lets round up to 1.5 mil
Chico: Okay, that's a decent total.
Gordon: You're asking them to increase their budget by over 10% in a cost
cutting era. That's going to fly just as well as asking Heidi Klum at the next
Project Runway shoot to wear a duct tape tuxedo.
Chico: Point taken. Any other wishes for this season?
Gordon: Steve Harvey to get more on point with some of the rules. More smooth
transitions. But really, it's just minor. He's done a really good job helming
the show.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: He really has. He's most of the new life that the show has nowadays.
And from new life we get... new love...
Chico: I have one more MVP trophy to award. And it goes to the winner of
Karaoke Battle USA. Remind the people what the winner gets.
Jason: A shot to represent the US at the World Karaoke Championships and a
record deal.
Chico: And the female winner... who nailed Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home to
Me"... Cassandra Mae Jopp of Fargo, ND!
Jason: YAY!
Gordon: Whoopie!
Chico: The judges got it right on the country singer. She's an angel who
dropped down from... Fargo. That said, this show should probably die and stay
dead.
Gordon: We also had a male winner, who is Josh 'I'm an Emo Rocker. Feel my
pain' Scholl, who throughout the season showed us that performance can trump
mediocre vocals.
Jason: Oh man. :)
Chico: As if we didn't know that.
Gordon: But yes, if you liked Friday night Karaoke, this was the show for you.
As we saw in the ratings, most people found something better to do with their
lives. Like create a board for 5 Good Questions for...what do we have?
Chico: This week, it's a bonus board. It's...
THE
BEST
OF
WHAT'S
LEFT
Chico: Basically, any question that we NEVER got
to in the last few weeks, you get to ask it now. Could be about a mid-season
show. Could be about GSN. Could be about any of the shows we covered. It's a
free-for-all.
#1. Will GSN give us a new game show that doesn't involves dogs and cats?
Chico: I sure hope so. I think they will give us a couple. One will be a big
hit. The other.... not so much.
Gordon: With the current reorganization going on there, I hope so. Next one?
#2. After ABC's The Chew and The Revolution fail.... and they will... will
they explore game shows?
Gordon: I think they should, but keep in mind, its cost-cutting mode time. So
new fluffy cheap game show? yes. Million dollar daytime challenge? no.
Chico: I think they have a good enough bank to worth with all they have to do is
find a winner.
Jason: I do too.
Gordon: Next one...
#3. With the shake up at the Hub, how long of a leash do the new game shows
have?
Chico: Not a very long one, unless Kevin Belinkoff likes what he sees.
Jason: Again...not long.
Gordon: Agreed. The first thing a new person likes to do is put their own
imprint on the network. That usually means getting rid of the stuff currently
airing.
Chico: ... no more Dan vs.... BELINKOFFFFFFFFF! How's that for a reference? =p
Gordon: There you go. Next?
Chico: Next...
#4. Will TBS EVER get that Pyramid pilot out of Development Hell?
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: Sorry. And the show, based on what we saw in NYC, deserves better.
Jason: Absolutely.
Chico: Okay, Final question?
Gordon: Last one....
#5. What network is the next great new game show that we don't know about yet
coming from?
Chico: ESPN. They're about due.
Jason: I will agree. ESPN Needs another 2 minute Drill
Gordon: I'll say ESPN or a sports network, but for a different reason. With no
more poker, they need to put something on the air.
Chico: NBC Sports Network when Vs. goes away.
Gordon: I'd go with that. Of course the hammies think it's going to be from The
Animal Planet. And here they all are, dressed up in their hamster tuxedos,
waiting to pitch to the network.
Jason: They look dapper
Gordon: Ummm...I don't think Hamaoke Battle is going to work.
Chico: ... and neither is Expedition Fun Cage.
Gordon: Sorry guys. But they can run Brainvision well.
Chico: Yes they can. Take your positions!
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. Okay, let's get the hard bit out of the way. Datebook
runneth over.
Monday
is BIG GAME MONDAY, with Dancing With the Stars, Jeopardy, Let's Make a Deal,
Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, and the Sing Off ALL debuting new
episodes.
Gordon: But WAIT! There's MORE!
Chico: MORE, you say.
Tuesday has The Biggest Loser, Wednesday has The X Factor and The Ultimate
Fighter, Thursday has Sweet Genius, Friday has Majors and Minors and Sunday has
The Amazing Race.
Gordon: (Stops, grabs a glass of water)
Chico: Breathe, dude. *puts towel over his shoulders*
Gordon: ...I'm ok.
Chico: Alright. Let's have a greenlight. What do you get when you cross 24-Hour
Restaurant Battle with Project Runway?
Gordon: I don't know, but if I'm ordering a burger, I'm making sure I don't see
any weave under the bun.
Chico: Ew.
It's
actually the premise of 24-Hour Catwalk, which Lifetime has ordered to series.
Chico: Hosted by Alexa Chung, four designers will complete their own collection
in a DAY. Then it gets judged, and the winner wins something.
Gordon: Thought it's not for my taste, this will definitely appeal to the
Project Runway fan.
Chico: Of course.
Gordon: That's very smart programming
Chico: Very smart. *wheels in white board*
Gordon: And now, I have not so smart
Are
YOU Smarter than...Ex-Choreographer Alex Da Silva. The So You Think You Can
Dance member was convicted for one charge of rape and one charge of assault.
Chico: Again with the horny choreographers.
Gordon: Alex and Shane Sparks may be swapping cell phone numbers.
Chico: Oh baby.
Gordon: Or maybe just cell numbers
Chico: Ooooooh baby...
Gordon: They do NOT want to be swapping anything with him...
The
Bell has tolled for Canada's So You Think You Can Dance, which has been given
the axe this week due to low ratings. Also joining it - all of the text to win
promotions, as it has been banned for 5 years thanks to a lawsuit settlement
Chico: Namely the Lucky Case game and whatever AI had.
Gordon: And The Apprentice, Survivor, etc.
Chico: And all of that.
Gordon: The real winners in this contest: The Lawyers. Of Course.
Chico: They can afford a trip.
Gordon: But I also have this dude
Chico: Oooh...
Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas's relationship is over after 5 months. So are the
vows of Tareq and Michaele Salahi, as she literally runs off with her ex in a
band.
Chico: Did we mention that the band was Journey? She didn't stop believin'.
Gordon: Congratulations on being 100% full fledged media hoes. I don't think
that this is what you had in mind, though. Tareq needs to get fully loaded.
Amazing
Race is now on Foursquare. So you can keep up while you check in wherever.
Gordon: Why do I want to tell my opponents where I am on the leg of the race?
Chico: It's not for the racers, dude. It's for people like you and me. It offers
travel tips, fun facts, and more. And it offers a glimpse of this season's race
course.
Gordon: So it could tell Tareq where Michaele is so he can hand her divorce
papers.
Chico: ... If he is so inclined, yes.
Gordon: I want to tell you about some more hoes.
Chico: Okay (plays "Pimping All Over the World")
In
this weeks Media Ho Report, Rihanna guest judges on the X Factor, Diana DeGarmo
gets a sopit on Young and The Restless, Chuck Woolery pimps out senior citizen
supplies...Jeff Probst has a video blog, Meredith Vieira does Rhode Island, Top
Chef will have their meals in your supermarket freezer section...Jordin Sparks
will remake Sparkle, Vanna White goes to a South Carolina Shrimp fesitval, and
YOU can rent out Kara Dioguardi's mansion...if you have $45,000 to spare.
Chico: Can I borrow a few?
Gordon: Let me think about this...done thinking...no. But none of them are the
hoes of the week.
Chico: Who's you got?
Gordon: You just won $500,000! What are you going to do with the money? If
you're Rachel, you get married to fellow competitor Brendon Villegas! Whee!
Chico: That's going to be one heck of a honeymoon. But if they end up on the
Newlywed Game, I swear I'm going to be so over the whole Brenchel thing.
Gordon: We already saw that on Big Brother. :P
Chico: Oh yeah.
Gordon: And those...are your hoes
Chico: Finally, we're goin on a trip. How would you like to break the bank?
Well,
that's not coming back, but something noticeably similar will be on UK screens.
It's called "The Bank Job". Four players are taken to a vault with hundreds of
thousands of pounds. They'll play games of luck, skill, and knowledge. One of
them will have a shot at the cash, while the others leave empty-handed. And at
the end of the week is a winner-take-all final. The question: do you stay in the
vault for more money... or leave with what you have? You don't want to stay in
too long, because if you do, you may find yourself locked inside.
Chico: Joe Farago called, he wants his 80's ripoff back.
Gordon: Actually, Estate of Panic Called. They want their format back.
Chico: Heh.
Gordon: And that's Brainvision. Shut it down
Chico: Got it. *fobs* Still to come, we clean up the toilet, but first... babies
dancing are always good for a smile. It's our semi-annual Dancing with the Stars
roundup in Who's Your Daddy.
Gordon: And this season...well...(holds nose)
Chico: Can I get a binky for baby Haterade?
Gordon: (Hands over a binky)
Chico: You're reading WLTI. You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you a silhouette
of the choppler.
Gordon: Complete with patriotic music in the background.
Chico: "You raise me uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup so I can stand on mooooooooountains."
(BrainVision has been brought to you by Silhouettes Fancy Design Shading
Company. We'll give you shadows of whatever you want, complete with fancy
background music, for all your furniture decor. Hey, we didn't win the million,
and we need someway to get by, right?)
