Episode 25.2 - Yin vs. Yang
September 27

Jason: Ouch.
Chico: Duuude.
Gordon: Welcome back to the show. If you're Tiger Woods....sorry. If you're a Tweeter, then we have fun for you. Cur the baby, birds and sunrise, please.
Chico: Baby...Birds...Sunrise...We're calling this one...



Chico: If you're a frequent reader of the show (thank you, first off)... it's like "Saywha?" only with Twitter tweets.
Gordon: And like SayWha? These are REAL Tweets, yes?
Chico: These are for-real tweets. I'll give them to you, then you tell me who tweeted it, and we talk about it for a bit. It's fun. It's a non-scoring game.
Gordon: Let's do it
Jason: Ready
Chico: Remember, it doesn't necessarily have to be a person. It can be a show or network as well.
Jason: Right.
Chico: Let's start it with this...

"I'd rather do Wipeout than Dancing with the Stars".

Gordon: I'll say the one Wipeout person who isn't on the show yet - John Henson
Jason: Or was that the Hoff?
Chico: Actually, No Wipeout person was on the show.
Gordon: John Henson?
Chico: Not John Henson. Umm... She is a big game show fan. A VERY big game show fan.
Gordon: Rosie O'Donnell?
Chico: Good... I could make a joke here, but let's talk about Dancing for a bit.
Jason: Ok.
Chico: Would you rather see David Hasselhoff on Wipeout than on Dancing with the Stars?
Jason: Yeah. He might do better
Gordon: He's got a bad knee, so one and done is fine with me.
Jason: So his performance has an "out". If he went out with Bad knees, so be it.
Chico: Yeah. I mean, it's good for him that he's getting off of it for a while, but still...
Gordon: By the way, let's flashback to last week, shall we?
Jason: Yeah I know....

(FLASHBACK)

DAVID HASSELHOFF & KYM JOHNSON

Chico: Could be all toes if he falls off the wagon. Middle.
Gordon: What you don't know, as much as we make fun of him, is that The Hoff DOES have dance experience. I think he can be your winner.
Jason: Legitimately...WINNER. He has dance training and a massively huge fan base. WINNER.
Gordon: ...Jason says winner? Crap (scribbles out name)
Chico: HA!
Jason: You suck, Gordon.

(END FLASHBACK)

Gordon: And THAT is why I switched my vote to Jennifer Grey.
Jason: (Gets Ready to eat the crow sandwich)
Chico: You want fries with that?
Jason: Ha, ha.
Chico: Seriously, thanks David for ruining the pick... and for ruining the joke.
Gordon: I still think we should use the graphic all season.



Jason: And he got caught between two sympathy votes He was in the perfect s-storm.
Chico: A fecal deluge, if you will
Jason: People thought The Situation deserved a 2nd shot, and Cho "tried", therefore she gets a second shot. And The Hoff's image well..there you go.
Gordon: America votes for people who try over people who make a mockery of it and who aren't entertaining.
Chico: Bring up the graphic again.



Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next...

Survivor tonight! Ep 2. No teases, no spoilers. But tribal is great! The things people say never ceases to amaze me.

Jason: The Jeffster
Gordon: That has to be uncle Jeffy
Jason: Mr. Probst
Chico: Right on.
Jason: Who I follow BTW
Chico: Me too.
Gordon: It was fun. Shows what 72 hours can do to your mind and mouth.
Chico: But seriously, do we have a case of diarrhea of the mouth every week or something? You think after 21 seasons, people would get it.
Gordon: Its different when you're in closed quarters and when there's pressure on you.
Jason: They don't. They think they have THE BEST game plan :)
Chico: Yeah, but there's a time and a place and Tribal is neither.
Jason: Wrong place, way wrong time.
Chico: Shannon's response to his tirade. "I'm not the judge, God is." Ok then. Next one.

Had a great time on @theearlyshow yesterday, being interviewed by Julie Chen! Harry Smith is also a big Jeopardy! fan and former contestant!

Jason: Roger Craig?
Gordon: Sounds like Roger Craig
Chico: You guys are good. But yeah, seems like Roger was enjoying himself.
Jason: He will ride his fame for a bit. He deserves it
Chico: He plans to use the quarter-mill-almost to give to charity, pay off student loans, buy a new car, and "enjoy gourmet food".
Jason: Sounds like a plan.
Chico: After Ramen, that would be "almost anything".
Gordon: Very true. Next one?
Chico: Next...

Taping an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race as a judge!!! Hollywood...what a place! From Rent to HIMYM to LMAD to this! That's living, baby!

Jason: Thats Wayne BRady
Gordon: I'll go with Wayne
Chico: Yep. So you've seen a whole week of new Deal. Thoughts?
Jason: Good stuff. They have upped the game a little bit in set, zonks, and interactivity. Let's see some new games.
Gordon: It will come in time, but I agree with Jason. We want more new stuff.
Chico: Let's hope so.
Gordon: Next one...

@JLo asked me if I was going to change between announcement and press conference. I said sure then realized I only brought one suit! Haha

Jason: Thats Mr. Seacrest
Gordon: I'll say Ryan because I don't think Stephen Tyler would know what a fresh change of suits were if it hit him.
Jason: ROFL
Chico: Be nice.
Gorodn: What?
Chico: Or, you know... Be less mean... or something.
Gordon: Less mean? Moi?
Chico: Seriously, the new panel and Jimmy. Do you tihnk this will turn the downward tide?
Jason: Hell no. It will be the next hot guy with the guitar. See Allen, Cook, Dewyze et all. (and Grimm on AGT)
Gordon: 20 million to start, then 22 million to see the first live show, then 15 million and going downwards to end the season and series. And then we get a year off before The X Factor becomes the big hit
Jason: I am with G on this.
Chico: Finally...

HOT! Top Chef DC Reunion Up Double Digits From Season 6 Reunion, Scoring Over 1.5 Million Total Viewers

Jason: Bravo
Chico: Encore...oh you mean the network.
Jason: Yes I do.
Gordon: Yeah, well take that with a grain of salt. It's a reunion show, not the series itself.
Chico: Now the question: how many of those just tuned in for the lineup to Top Chef All-Stars?
Jason: Most. If not all. The reunion show intrigues me
Chico: Normally, it would for me as well, but this season was meh.
Gordon: We did have a meh season. Hopefully next season will be better
Chico: Now a bonus. "What that part of your latest executive package?"
Jason: That was me :) Tweeting Kevin Butler of PS3 @beattheblock for those care.
Chico: Alright. It's no fun when your mark memorizes his tweets. I must remember that. =p My Tweet is @chairmanchico. So that's the game. Thoughts?
Jason: Not bad :)
Gordon: @CHICO. KEEPER
Chico: Woohoo! Now that we've cleaned out our Twitter feeds, we're going toilet cleaning. See you on the other side.
Jason: Got my plunger ready

(Brought to you by Reality Realty. We'll rent your spacious palazzo overlooking the Hollywood Hills to a bunch of ruffians who love to act like they ain't got no mamas... Watch the hilarity ensue!)

Jason: And a cleanup bill of a gazillion dollars.
Gordon: I think the winners get what they charged up.
Chico: Seriously. The latest victims: the owners of "The Bachelor Pad". The couple rented it out for $45K. They're suing for $5 million in damages.
Jason: Daaaaaamn.
Chico: That's a lot of roses. Alright, kids. We're running short on time again, so it's time to wheel out the Super Toilet.
Jason: Its so Clean

(Brought to you by Carry-ons. When it's just not big enough to be considered baggage, like 'I spilled a drink on my date' or 'I snore'.)

Jason: LOL
Chico: Or I help run a major game show news website. It's not baggage.
Gordon: Or I spear-headed the Speed Round. Staring...now! Survivor: Who's next?

Chico: Yes we do.
Gordon: Who do we got?
Chico: From our friend Josh Johannesen.

Gordon: Hey Josh. #1. Based on what Ive heard, it is Jose leaving, but there's nothing official on that front, so it's all rumor. #2. Thanks for the Season 25 praise.
Chico: After we figured that using "The Big Finish" would probably get us in trouble later on. Even though we totally didn't take it from anything.
Gordon: Right. Chico wanted to change it, and I came up with the new title. So it was a collaboration effort.
Chico: There you go. I got some more mail. This is from Erin Connelly. Thanks for writing, Erin!

Chico: Game Show Forum. Find the Trading Post. Post your request. Hit some leads.
Gordon: People have been very successful there. Good luck. Any more mail?
Chico: Nope, so that's going to do it for us. On account of the lateness of last week's episode going up, we're going to keep the Facebook question going. It's only fair.
Chico: One more time, the question...

BIG FACEBOOK QUESTION Pay the Rent. Thoughts?

Chico: Go to Facebook.com and search "We Love to Interrupt" to answer. And for any other probing game show questions, shoot off an e-mail to WLTI@gameshownewsnet.com. We love the attention.
Gordon: We do. We love the email. Keep it going.
Chico: Jason... Great work as always. Thank you so much.
Jason: Thank you very much. Love to do it
Chico: Gordon, before we go. What are you watching?
Gordon: I'm watching The Next Iron Chef
Chico: Word.
Jason: I am watching The Amazing Race
Chico: I'm... not ... watching I Love Money. Out of principle. Why, VH1. Why.
Jason: Agreed. And of course, Millionaire. And DFTL. Very disappointed
Chico: It'll be interesting to see the numbers on those.
Gordon: I'm avoiding Don't Forget the Lyrics. Ugh.
Chico: Hopefully we'll be LESS disappointed next week. Until then, for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander... Game over, and spread the love.
