Episode 22.3
September 28

Chico: Hey there, I'm Chico Alexander... we at WLTI like to do shows dedicated to the ladies, because we're all about the ladies here...
Gordon: (puts wig on Jason Block)
Jason: Hey!
Chico: Some of us more than others.
Jason: Stop that now.
Gordon: But Jay, it matches the fuchsia dress perfectly.
Chico: But today... it's all about us men.
Gordon: ...oh. (removes wig and dress)
Jason: Thank you. (Puts on the Ralph Lauren Suit)
Chico: Dudes. Guys. Bros...
Gordon: And hopefully, game show fans.
Chico: Because from Somewhere in America.. the Just Men... edition... of WLTI.. is ON!
Jason: WOO HOO!
Gordon: Yay! Gordon Pepper here, along with special guest Jason Block.
Jason: Glad to be back. Been a while.
Chico: That it has
Jason: But I am glad to be here.
Chico: Good. We're glad to have you back.
Gordon: But are you glad to be watching the new syndicated shows? We start this week with the debut of the syndicated version of 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?'
Chico: It's essentially the same show as the primetime show, only half an hour long. But there's more!
Gordon: Moooore!
Chico: You see, we've cut the class down from 5 to 3. EVERYONE answers all 10 questions. And each question has a dollar amount attached.
Jason: From $500-$5,000
Chico: Answer correctly, and the value gets added to your bank. Answer incorrectly... and you go to zero.
Jason: After all 10 questions are answered you have a choice...
Chico: Take your money or risk it for 10x on a final bonus 5th Grade question. Not unlike the Million Dollar Question in the Syndicated version. If you answer everything correctly... You win $250,000.
Jason: If you lose it, you get a $2500 Gift Certificate.
Gordon: $2,500 or $250, depending on how much money you had before the question.
Chico: Right.
Jason: This is another example of syndicated streamlining that works.
Chico: Yes it is.
Jason: It feels faster and more enjoyable.
Gordon: Let's start with The Good: The pace is much quicker, and as we have all said countless times, this works better as a 30 minute show than an hour show.
Jason: Indeed.
Chico: It's a cleaner, leaner show, and it actually makes more sense from a strategic standpoint. You see, on the primetime show, you were going up a ladder and the best thing you could've done was go for the easy stuff and get it out of the way so you can get to the $25,000.
Jason: Jeff Foxworthy is still good as host.
Gordon: He is a good host. Now it's set up so that you should hit the hard questions first, and that leads us to The Bad: VERY anti-climactic at the end.
Chico: Unless you decide to go for the bonus.
Gordon: Should you screw up on the big questions early, you're not going to see a big payout at the end.
Chico: But surprisingly, in the 20 episodes, we've seen, that hasn't happened with as much frequency as you'd expect. Which leads us to #2... It's on too darn much.
Jason: Bingo!
Chico: Now I love 5th Grader as much as anyone. I think it's a good show.. It's a great format. It's executed well... The theme song's catchy. But between double runs on my local CW... AND double runs on CMT... AND double runs Tuesdays on My Network TV. That's 20 episodes a week.
Gordon: Weeeeee
Chico: And they shot 170.
Gordon: That's a lot of episodes. That also means if they are all in the can, that they'll be all gone by November (which makes my job as recapper a lot easier).
Chico: Ha
Jason: But that's shooting your gun way too early. Deal had double runs last year...but they did pace themselves, right Gordon?
Gordon: No, they did not. We saw everything by January There was a month in March and a week in July, but that was it after January. Now with season 1 of DOND as the repeated half hour after the regular show, it may be laid out better, but if you know the shows are repeats, you're not going to stick around after watching the new episode.
Jason: And...honestly...5th grader's summer publicity was pretty much non-existent.
Chico: Yeah. WHAT summer publicity? All I got were a few local homebrews.
Jason: And their webpage went up Sept. 21...where's that presence too?
Gordon: Not exactly a god way to advertise your show.
Chico: Hmm.. no.
Jason: That's why you have an 0.9 rating this week. Doesn't bode well for those guys.
Chico: Truth be told, I'm surprised with zero pub that it got THAT high.
Jason: The reason why Deal has a season 2 was a) a HUGE summer 08 campaign and b) word of mouth. I don't know if 5th grader gets a season 2.
Gordon: Very true. 5th Grader is going to need to step it up. They could get it on CMT though, should the ratings warrant it.
Chico: That's what you call.. Plan B. It doesn't work in syndication. go the CMT route. They've been known to take chances on down-home country humor and have it pay off for them Singing Bee.
Jason: Bingo...see Season 2 in January 2010.
Chico: So what do you guys think?
Jason: Can I grade the show and the marketing plan separately?
Chico: WHAT MARKETING PLAN? =p
Jason: Exactly.

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? - CMT/Syndication/MNT
  GORDON JASON CHICO AVERAGE-O-MATIC
The Show B+ B B+ B+
The Marketing F F F- EPIC FAIL

Jason: The show is a solid B. And F for the lack of marketing.
Gordon: B for the show, F for the marketing and advertising.
Jason: You remember the last show Fox syndicated right?
Chico: ... no.
Jason: Temptation :)
Chico: That was syndicated, right?
Jason: Yes it was.
Chico: In fact, that was syndicated... rather poorly
Jason: But I do like the show, I wish we would have had a bigger splash for it.
Chico: 20th TV seems to have learned nary a thing about getting the word out there. B+ works for the show. The marketing plan... F minus.
Gordon: I'm guessing the marketing gets an Epic Fail?
Chico: Yep
Jason: Agreed. You dont bring a show out like this.
Chico: You don't launch a show and just expect people to watch it.
Gordon: Nope. Sorry, 5th Grader. Now what can you say about The Price is Right?
Chico: It's pretty looking.
Jason: Unbelievably hot looking.
Jason: Started weak in the beginning, but got it's feet by the end.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: Really?
Jason: Yes. I think so.
Gordon: It may have gotten it's feet by Friday, but Monday was a mess. Big Bored, please?


TPIR's Manic Monday

- Rich-Averted Skunk
- Budget Tightening
- Bad Contestants
- Craig Ferguson
 

Chico: That was a season premiere? That was SAD.
Jason: It seemed THERE.
Chico: That's the problem. It was only there in the biblical sense. Six games...Showcase Showdowns...Showcases... Drew officiating...And you know... it was there... and as much as I wanted it to be great.. it was just... there.
Gordon: You guys are so nice to the show. Allow me to be a little more blunt?
Chico: What was supposed to be the big coming out party turned into... crap. How's THAT for blunt?
Jason: Sure.
Gordon: 1. We had a perfect show. A perfect 0-6, with only a Rich Fields blunder stopping it from being an official pricefart.
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Agreed.
Chico: You had to have eagle eyes to point that out.
Gordon: 2. For a debut show, they were tightening up on the budget. Nothing fun or flash to start the season (besides the set)
Chico: It's the economy, stupid... either that or misallocated funds.
Gordon: 3. Bad contestant play, which contributed to the 0-6. Who's up for a $9,000 motorcycle in Contestants Row?
Jason: Um...no.
Chico: That was just dumb. And it's easy to just blame casting, but in the end, who made the bid?
Gordon: 2 Chips won in Plinko
Chico: That was just sad.
Gordon: 4. Craig Ferguson. First of all, if you don't have any idea on who he is or what he does, you'd think there's a drunk man who wandered on The Price is Right stage.
Jason: And that's a guy who has been sober for 13 years, thank you.
Chico: And even if you did, you had to watch and think... What the hell?
Jason: It made NO PROMOTIONAL SENSE.
Chico: Nope. At least push the book.
Jason: Which is called "American On Purpose"
Chico: Instead, it was just Craig Ferguson... being Craig Ferguson. Am I supposed to GET IT? I mean, break this down to me like I'm a child.
Jason: If he had that...I would GET IT.
Gordon: I'm glad he's sober, but I had no idea. And I don't blame that on Craig. I blame that on the writers and the showcase people for ironically, not showcasing him well enough. (Pun very much intended)
Chico: Ba DUM bum.
Jason: (rimshot)
Chico: So the season premiere wasn't at all what we hoped it would be. The good news is that the week didn't suck outright.
Jason: Again, we are suffering from the same problem we have been talking about for 3 seasons now...INCONSISTENCY.
Chico: The players went 14 for 30.
Gordon: That's actually a better record than the norm for last season.
Chico: Oh yeah. Still didn't solve the Drew problem, in that he's still erratic and inconsistent. I'm hoping he gets it this year or else... serious problems afoot. Cause I suspect Wayne Brady will be consistent and CBS is going to keep both eyes open...
Jason: I have to ask though. Do you think Drew was taking a shot at G-R.net with the web site plugs?
Chico: Could be. As it is, he was just doing what he's been paid to do... pub the site. Thoughts Gordon?
Gordon: Well, yes and no. I agree with Drew that TPIR should have had their own web site ages ago. And to be honest, if the 'fan friendly' site isn't supprting your product, then why should you support them?
Chico: Makes sense.
Gordon: I mean there's a difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: And truth be told... you'd rather get Price info from the horse's mouth, all things considered. So this is a good move.
Gordon: As much as we're harping on the show (which we are), there are good things about the show that we do like and we point that out, too.
Jason: I will say it again, the presentation of the show is so good now.
Chico: I like the DiPirro touch.
Jason: The direction, lighting, and new set is top notch.
Chico: And Drew giving Bente Christensen the props she deserves... class move.
Gordon: If you're going to be a site that criticizes the show unreasonably, then you are certainly not going to get the support of the TPIR staff, etc.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: And don't think they don't know what's going on over there as well. The TPIR brass is not as dumb as you'd like to think.
Gordon: So you've converted 2 of the 3 WLTIers. I want to see a more consistent Drew and more consistent writing. I know you have it in there. you have had some streaks of brilliance (aka the April Fools Day episode, which was genius). Here's the challenge: I want that same sort of love on EVERY episode, not just the special ones.
Chico: Think you're up to it, CBS?
Gordon: I'll end the discussion on TPIR on this note. If I'm a contestant that gets called on the show, I should be able to have the time of my life, regardless on what episode I'm on, and not hope I'm stuck on a show where Drew has a bad day.
Jason: That works for me.
Chico: Right
Chico: As a reminder... Double Price next week. Think of it as an appetizer for Deal next week. Now, are you hyped up for some...



Jason: I am.
Chico: This week, "Morons Gone Wild" tkaes on a whole new meeting as for the first time, someone is EJECTED from a challenge.
Jason: To use a soccer parlance...that was STRAIGHT RED.
Chico: Precisely. It happens in the Reward/Immunity Challenge. They were basically playing a variant of kill the guy with the ball. And by that, I mean "handball"
Jason: Jeff warns the competitors that they are playing too rough.
Chico: Right.
Jason: And he says the next person who plays unfair goes bye bye.
Chico: That was in round 2.
Jason: Ben, in front of everyone, straight trips Jaison.
Chico: It was more of a kick. Ben kicks Russell S. and Jeff follows through on his threat. No more primal-getting for you, sir. But... there are at least three wrinkles to that.
Jason: Russell HAS the immunity idol.
Chico: That would be #1. #2... Mike is medivaced for breathing problems. And C... though there was a medical evacuation... Tribal Council still went on as planned. I guess that takes care of one double elimination at least. But the elimination... Betsy. I'm guessing Russell had a hand in that. Because, as we all know... he's the baddest sumbitch to play Survivor EVER.
Gordon: Its a very logical and clear elimination. Betsy is a moron for not understanding who is in charge.
Jason: Why? I really thought Ben was a detriment to his team
Chico: Nah, once is an isolated incident. Twice and he's unstable.
Gordon: Russell is the head honcho right now, and while he's digging his own grave in this game, Betsy should have seen it coming and never should have challenged Russell - especially since Ben was a much better target to be eliminated. But the second she told Russell that she couldn't trust him, she became a target for Russell. Ben is a pawn, but Betsy is a threat, so she had to leave.
Chico: Yep
Jason: So when does Russell get exposed?
Gordon: Not for awhile. He has the immunity idol, and he has a few people who are more hated than he is (including Ben). If I'm Russell, I found the person who I'm taking to the final 2, because I bet I can win against Ben.
Chico: It's a nice feeling, ain't it
Gordon: It is. Russell right now has a great master plan going on. After 2 episodes, I could see him winning the whole thing. Now he has to make sure that there aren't 5 people left on his tribe when they go into the merge.
Chico: Hopefully he has a plan for that
Gordon: They need to start winning challenges or his master plan won't matter.
Chico: Yep
Gordon: Though I will say this - if anyone can flip people over to their side and come ahead despite going in outnumbered, it's Russell.
Chico: Russell's ready to do whatever he has to do to get further in the game. That's basically the season all wrapped up into one.
Jason: And it's another great one.
Gordon: Should be fun. What was fun was the debut of this crop of Dancing With the Stars.
Chico: A good time as always.
Jason: For the disco ball trophy
Chico: And we already had our first two no-brainer eliminations.
Jason: Yup.
Chico: For the men... it's the chick that keeps on losing and the celeb with the girl name... Edyta Sliwinska & Ashley Hamilton.
Jason: See ya.
Chico: And for the ladies... Macy Gray and Johnathan Roberts.
Jason: I try...and fail.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: Neither of these eliminations are surprising.
Chico: Nope.
Chico: Ashley Hamilton basically mailed it in.
Gordon: I wouldnt say mailed it in. For a person that has had brain issues and who had problems walking a year ago, I considered it very valiant. Unfortunately, such valiance did not translate to the dance floor. Macy, on the other hand...ugh.
Chico: As for Macy Gray... I don't know what the hell she was doing, but it wasn't dancing... and Johnathan Roberts is a bad choreographer. Can't bring out the best in anyone.
Jason: Michael Irvin had the lowest score this week in the single dance. Macy and Ashley were 2nd lowest.
Chico: So overall. A good start. A clean finish. It's what Dancing with the Stars should be.
Gordon: So far so good - the audeince and the judges have agreed. We'll find out what happens when they don't. Now who's up for some eating?
Chico: I'm STARVING!
Jason: Yum.
Gordon: Here's some food for thought. Tim Janus. Otherwise known as Eater X in the World Series of Competitive Eating circuit.
Chico: Also known as Major League Eating
Chico: Tim has done very well for himself... but can he eat his way up the Millionaire Money Tree?
Gordon: He's currently ranked 4th in the eater circuit, but he decides to take a bigger bite in the wallet. Hence Tim shows up on Millionaire.
Chico: So this would be this week's...



Chico: ... though he only goes for $250,000...Alright, gents... the question!
Jason: Lets hear it.
Chico: Category is Flowers.

According to the Dictionary of American Regional English, a "railroad daisy" is what type of flower?

A: Rhododendron
B: Sunflower
C: Black-eyed Susan
D: Mountain laurel


Chico: Answers, please.
Jason: I think its C.
Gordon: I say C
Chico: Tim said C. I say C. It is C. But Tim doesn't risk the $75,000 and walks with $100,000 and spot #3 on the leaderboard.
Jason: Nice.
Chico: Leaving Will Capp the sole member of the "Gang of Nine" on Millionaire's top 10.
Gordon: So that's someone who likes to be into the world of Competitive Eating, which can be seen on SPIKE. Let's talk abot something else you can see on Spike - Ultimate Fighting.
Jason: This week is HUGE for fight fans.
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Because we see the debut of Kimbo Slice.
Chico: Kimbo Slice will be slicing onto TV screens this week.
Gordon: Since we haven't spoken that much about the show, let's chat about it.
Jason: Let's.
Chico: Sounds good to me.
Gordon: Episode 1 was the bloodiest fight in UFC history, which featured Jon Madsen obliterating Abe Wagner.
Chico: How bad was it?
Gordon: Wagner is so bloody and the cuts are so deep that the doctors could see pieces of Abe's skull. Ew.
Jason: DAMN!
Chico: Heh.. Gross.
Gordon: The second fight is less gross. James McSweeney wins a unanimous decision in 2 rounds over Wes Shivers. Both of them are noticeably tired during the match, and neither of them have much in terms of stamina.
Jason: Heavyweights have that problem.
Chico: Yep. They have the muscle, but not the staying power. Maybe Kimbo Slice will change that.
Gordon: This week: Roy Nelson Vs. Kimbo Slice. Nelson has already stated that he doesn't want to train with Rashad Evans. That could be the break Slice needs.
Chico: Could be. This will be a week to watch. If you've not seen an episode... you have to watch this one.
Gordon: Meanwhile, we have the hamsters getting at it...or trying. Cheeseball is practicing Jujitsu, but he just keeps on landing on his Fanny Flagg.
Chico: Ow.
Jason: Ouch.
Gordon: I sort of liked them better when they were playing around with the fat sumo suits.
Chico: Speaking of... it's J-Fat in a sumo suit!
Jason: WOW :)
Chico: Heh... Look at him all rolypoly and such.
Jason: He can't get up though.
Gordon: Before we roll him down the hall, let's 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. Let's start with the calendar...

September 28 is BrainSurge. September 30 is Pay It Off and Road Rules/Real World: Ruins

Jason:
Brain Surge is going to Rock.
Chico: I'm SO looking forward to that. Nickelodeon hasn't had a good game show on since they cancelled Double Dare.
Gordon: We have some new shows and some new concepts. I'm eager to see how it all plays out.
Chico: I still think Pay It Off's going to be a giant rip-off. But that's just me. I'll recant when needed. But until then... I have an opinion.
Gordon: Give me your opinion of business deals.
Chico: Got it. First... a new season is upon us.

So far, Dancing with the Stars (though down to less than 20 mill a show) and Survivor (though losing to FlashForward by 1 million) are winners. Hell's Kitchen (6.8 million) and So You Think You Can Dance (5.6 million) are losers. But the Biggest Loser of all...the fall season's first casualty... The Beautiful Life... which had less viewers in its target demo than 5th Grader.

Chico: Yeowch.
Gordon: I'm going to differ here a little. 6.8 million for Fox is very good. What was TBL's numbers?
Chico: The Beautiful Life?
Gordon: Yah
Chico: Just 1 million. That was for this week's episode.
Jason: Ouch
Gordon: That would be some ugly ratings.
Chico: Oh yeah. Well, it's down from the previous episode. But there's the roster so far. Amazing Race will be in next week's show. As for things that are green and shiny...And also business-related.

Could X-Factor make its way to the US? It's possible if Simon Cowell's deal with Fox goes through.

Jason: We are talking a BOATLOAD of cash.
Chico: The deal would have the mega-judge making $100 million and giving the network the first-look at importing the UK talent contest.
Gordon: The ratings have started to peak for Idol. I don't see how The X Factor is going to resuscitate it.
Chico: So do you think it's going to happen?
Jason: I do.
Gordon: Will it happen? Yes. We've seen this before when the singers have been classified in ranks based on age. it was called Star Search.
Chico: Lasted for three seasons in the summer. Would have lasted longer if it stayed there.
Gordon: Honestly, this doesn't bring anything new to the party. Can it work? yes, but it boils down to the execution.
Jason: Agreed.
Chico: Well, considering who's behind it... I have cautious optimism.
Gordon: How many times can you go to the well for water before you instead draw mud and dung beetles?
Jason: Not sure.
Chico: I'll take "Fame" for $200.
Gordon: What about Blackboards for $201?
Chico: That works.
Jason: Sounds right.

Are YOU Smarter Than...Charity Kubiko, who proves to us that Charity begins at home.

Gordon: Charity is the very bubbly woman on 5th Grader. She's also the first Wipe Out on the show. Big Bored please?


What We Learned from Charity

- Angkor Wat's in Thailand
- XIV = 16
- Trumpet, Trombone, and Tuba are winds
- US is a continent
 

Gordon: The Subject: What we learned from Charity.
Jason: Oh no.
Gordon: Now some of these are a little tough. We start with 5th Grade Cultural Studies.

A U.N. World Heritage site, the temples of Angkor Wat are located in what country?

Jason: I believe that's Thailand
Chico: That's about right.
Gordon: I believe you're all wrong. It's in Cambodia
Gordon: Charity says 'Thailand, because it sounds like a peanut sauce.' Apparently, if a meal has peanut sauce, it must be made in Thailand.
Chico: Oh dear.
Jason: Oh my
Gordon: But wait! There's more! 3rd Grade Ancient Cultures:

Using Roman numerals, if a building was built in the year XIV, what year was it built in?

Chico: 14
Jason: 14 AD
Gordon: Charity says 16. Bye bye money. Next up: 1st Grade Music:

The trombone, trumpet and tuba are all members of what fmaily of musical instruments?

Chico: Brass section, tricks.
Jason: Brass
Gordon: Charity says the wind section.
Chico: No.
Gordon: Believe it or not, the producers credit her for that - probably because it's the second to last question of the game and they want her to win some money. Or they though, until we get this, in 1st Grade Geography:

True or False, The United States is a Continent.

Jason: Um...False.
Chico: FALSE.
Gordon: Charity says that the United States is America, North America is a continent, so the answer is...TRUE!
Chico: WHAT?!
Jason: (THUD)
Gordon: That's the last question of the game, so Charity is the first person to get the obligatory $250 booby prize card.
Jason: :( I am sad.
Chico: Eww
Gordon: Here's something else to make you sad.

Are YOU smarter than...Conan O'Brien, who's smacks his head on a stunt go wrong and cancels his Friday night show because of it.

Chico: So THAT's why they had a rerun on.
Gordon: And here's some Haterade for you.
Jason: Yes.

Dick Clark, villain? Apparently a new documentary says to, accusing him in a wide range of offense, from allowing lipsyncing to taking payola.

Chico: Well, the lipsynching is nothing new... but the payola? Wow...
Jason: That is not a new charge.
Gordon: Back then, those things were normal and part of the trade. To defend Dick here, these practices are frowned upon now, but back then, it's how you stayed in business. It was a very different time then. And I'd bet that not only was payola not unusual, I'm betting it's fairly common back then.
Chico: This is true. We're talking different people in a different time.
Jason: But its also very interesting that the documentary comes out where the man himself isn't in the full mental capacity to defend himself.
Chico: Crazy.
Gordon: And here's some more Haterade...



Thanks to the recession and the lack of shows picked up, Rocket Science files for Bankruptcy. They were behind a number of game show concepts, but the one that put them on the map was Joe Millionaire.

Chico: So sorry.
Jason: Who made an appearance on the Jay Leno Thursday in a skit.
Gordon: They also did Duel, and Bullrun and My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé
Chico: And the list goes on.
Gordon: and...Temptation Island. So they actually did a lot. It will be sad to see them go.
Chico: That it will. Meanwhile, let's do some traveling... Anyone feel like a curry?
Gordon: MMM. Curry.
Jason: Yummy

The Contender is heading to India.

Chico: Now there's actually a market in India for this, as the home of the second ranked boxer in the world, Vijender Singh.
Gordon: I think this is a very good idea. Both the Contender and UFC have gone to the UK, so why not visit Asia?
Chico: Makes sense
Gordon: Now let's say you want to be in contention to win money. Interested?
Chico: Money's good
Gordon: What about money making people noisy?
Chico: uh... what?

Silent Library is casting for Season 2. They need contestants. They ALSO need people to go against the contestants, which include little people, hairy people, fat people, and sexy cowgirls. Go here if you want to play:

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tfr/1392539160.html

Gordon:
Hey Jason! I found a show for you!
Chico: Interesting
Jason: Hmmmm
Gordon: Finally, there's this.

Are you a fun and adventurous person? Do you and your significant other like to have adventurous sex? Do you want to get frisky in public? If you are your significant other do, please respond to this posting.

Chico: *plays "Callboy"*
Gordon: Now can we play some Luda?
Chico: *plays "Pimpin' All Over the World"*
Jason: WOOT!
Jason: LOL

In this week's Media Ho Report, Kara DioGuardo sits in on The View, Bob Boden heads to Hasbro, Karina Smirnoff gets naked for a PETA ad...

Chico: Yay Bob Boden!
Jason: That is HUGE for Hasbro

Richard Hatch stays in Jail, Julie Chen delivers a Baby Chen Bot, Mark Burnett is the producer of the People's Choice Awards...Baz Luhrmann will guest judge Dancing With the Stars, Lulu is gone on Next Top Model, and Ramon / Ron are gone on Project Runway / Top Chef, respectively.

Gordon: But none of them are your hoes of the week. We have 8 of them, and they're all going to lose some weight.
Jason: 8?
Gordon: It's your new cast of Celebrity Fit Club. They are Kevin Federline, Shar Jackson, Bobby Brown, Nicole Eggert, Sebastian Bach, Kaycee Strohm Tanisha Thomas and Jay McCarroll.
Chico: I never would've guessed Nicole Eggert was a celebrity fit-club candidate...
Gordon: Who's up for a game?
Chico: ME!
Jason: I am!
Gordon: Your challenge: Name me one game or reality show each of these people have been on.
Chico: Kevin Federline... 1 vs. 100.
Gordon: DING
Chico: Bobby Brown... Gone Country
Gordon: DING
Chico: Sebastian Bach... Celebrity Rap Superstar?
Gordon: DING
Jason: Shar Jackson was But Can they sing
Gordon: No on But Can they Sing
Chico: Shar Jackson.. ALSO Celebrity Rap Superstar
Gordon: Yes on Celebrity Rap Superstar (DING)
Chico: Nicole Eggert... 1 vs. 100
Gordon: Yes, but I would have accepted The REAL Gilligan's Island - which you covered. (DING)
Chico: The others... no idea
Gordon: Jay McCarroll WON season 1 of Project Runway
Chico: Ah, right.
Gordon: Kaycee Stroh was featured in High School Musical: Get in the Picture
Chico: Wouldn't have known.
Gordon: Tanisha was the only person not on a game show, although she was on The Soup and The Bad Girl's Club. And those...are your hoes.
Chico: And finally... let's get loaded.

You remember a long time ago, Noel Edmonds had something going on called "cosmic ordering" that turned out to be a ploy for a contest DOND UK was running?

Jason: I guess.
