Episode 16.5
October 8
Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, and we're at a fever pitch pace today!
Chico: Today... it's a fall classic with a new show, a new class, and... quick I
need something else that's new.
Jason: A new Iron Chef?
Rob: A new Top Chef?
Jason: New Price is Right Host?
Chico: That'll work!
Gordon: What about a new intro?
Chico: .... naah. Too much new harms the soul. That said, from somewhere in
America, the new!new!new! edition of We Love to Interrupt... is.... on!
Gordon: Thank you, Gordon and Chico here, and lets get to the guests. From the
home of the New York Yankees, Mr. Jason Block.
Jason: Do we HAVE to talk about the Yankees?
Chico: And to fulfill equal time laws, from the home of the Cleveland Indians,
Mr. Mike Klauss...
Gordon: I think I hear some buzzing around here somewhere.
Jason: Lots of bugs there.
Mike: You know you're a Clevelander if you cast a plague of midges upon the
Yankees in the playoffs.
Chico: Next, from the home of the Seattle Mariners, who... aren't doing much
right now, Mr. Rob Seidelman.
Rob: Yes, the same Mariners who gagged in 95, 97 and more importantly 2001. I
wish we were the Seattle Pilots, mind you.
Gordon: And finally, from the home of Toronto and Montreal, who don't care about
baseball because now they've got hockey, Mr. Don Harpwood.
Don: I'm just glad the Jays finished above .500 this year.
Chico: Definitely not the '92 Jays.
Don: Definitely.
Chico: Now that was a team to be feared.
Rob: They won the World Series that year, right?
Chico: Yep.
Don: Yep.
Chico: Our panel is one short of a class on 5th Grader.. Which is not a problem,
because we have a new class anyway.
Mike: What a segue.
Chico: Thanks. I try.
Gordon: Tell us about the new class
Chico: Certainly, you have the wanna-be pop star Mackenzie... The brainchild
Sierra... The athlete Cody... the OTHER brainchild Olivia... And the Yankees fan
Nathan.
Jason: Nathan is crying today.
Chico: Dude.. Nathan looks like Gordon as a kid. No... SERIOUSLY
Gordon: Nathan is my new idol.
Chico: Their first classmate... 18-year-old Katie Barbaro. She was a high school
valedictorian.
Gordon: So what happened?
Chico: She started strong... VERY strong. She still has two cheats with one
question left. The question, in 5th Grade World History...
The Hundred Years War of the 14th and 15th Centuries was primarily a conflict
between England and what other country?
Chico: Class, write your answers now.
Mike: That's a 5th grade question? OK, I'm in.
Chico: This is a 5th Grade question. It's not a trick
Mike: (Man, California's 5th grade standards must be ridiculously high.)
Gordon: (shrugs) I learned this in 4th grade
Rob: (ding)
Gordon: (DING)
Jason: DING
Mike: Obligatory ding here
Chico: Okay, everyone's in,. Olivia said "Spain".
Gordon: I said France
Jason: I said France
Rob: I said France also
Mike: I said the home of the Coneheads as well.
Chico: Answer... IS France.
Mike: We're all smarter than 10-year-olds!
Chico: She came dangerously close to winning a million... only to walk out with
$25,000.
Gordon: She trusted Olivia?
Chico: Yep. Used the copy.
Mike: Ow.
Jason: Oh boy.
Rob: That's the equivalent of Trust the mob, but backfiring on ya.
Chico: Yeah. That's basically it.
Mike: Opening day jitters, maybe?
Chico: Probably. I chalk it up to opening day jitters.
Gordon: How did everyone react?
Mike: I know I'm always a little on edge on my first day of school.
Chico: Katie... pretty much the entire of the class was devastated. Particularly
Katie, because she just had her pride stripped (at an early age, mind you) on
national television.
Gordon: Well, she is leaving with $25,000.
Jason: Which is not bad college money
Rob: No, not at all.
Don: Indeed.
Rob: That should cover about 1-2 years. With some left over for a nice spring
break trip.
Chico: Of course. And of course she's got to have some money locked up on
scholarship.
Rob: Oh, of course.
Gordon: Now on the other hand, if you wanted to move from Europe to Africa, we
got that too.
Chico: Ah, Last One Standing. A reality show for people who hate reality shows.
Gordon: This is as real as it gets
Jason: Wow.
Chico: The premise: six people - 3 Britons and 3 Americans - travel the world in
search of the greatest tests of combat.
Gordon: .Real men competing against real tribal warriors in real sporting
events. Everything except the loser being sacrificed.
Jason: Which is a good thing
Chico: Yep. Everyone plays until the end.
Gordon: And at the end of the first episode - everyone got schooled
Jason: What combat was it this time?
Chico: The first episode... Kalapalo wrestling.
Jason: wow.
Chico: They traveled to Brazil for that one.
Gordon: The 'winner' was declared so because he was the only one who didn't lose
outright
Chico: Even the ceremony to prove ones worth of competing was killer...
bloodletting by piranha, anyone?
Jason: Damn. Makes Jackass looks like Sesame Street.
Don: Yipes!
Gordon: If you like that sort of stuff, its a fun show.
Chico: But yeah, any time you have a competition where there could theoretically
be no one winner... It only makes the drive to compete that much better. (See:
Ninja Warrior)
Rob: And what channel is this on again?
Chico: This is on Discovery, Thursdays at 9p.
Gordon: It's not if you can win, but if you can survive
Chico: Correct.
Rob: I think that's the ultimate reward in this show, to see if you can survive
all of the tribal ordeals that other countries and cultures put the young men
and women through.
Gordon: I like it. Then again, I'm twisted like that. Grade: B.
Chico: I'll go one better. Finally, a game that isn't about the outcome as it is
about the game. B+
Rob: I'm putting this on my DVR, B also.
Mike: I'll stick to Survivorman and How It's Made, thankyouverymuch.
Don: I missed the first episode, but it sounds like a good one.
Rob: Mike, don't forget Mythbusters. Nobody should ever forget Mythbusters.
Mike: Mythbusters too. Definitely.
Chico: True. And Cash Cab, of course.
Jason: I'll have to check it out
Chico: I thought I was the only one that made How It's Made a guilty pleasure.
Mike: No way. I know quite a few people who like How It's Made.
Rob: I enjoy it also. But, I don't watch it regularly.
Chico: I don't feel so bad anymore.
Gordon: And then the next night, we had...The Million Dollar Mission continue...
Chico: ... to fizzle out of control. Hee hee.
Jason: Ugh
Mike: Oh no.
Don: I really wish someone would just win the million already, so they can go
back to regular DoND.
Mike: Stop the inanity.
Chico: I'll save you the trouble. The Drew family... did not win the million
dollars.
Gordon: Awwwww.
Jason: Awwwwww.
Rob: What a shame.
Mike: I can't wait until there are 25 cases with $1M, and the ****ing contestant
still picks the damn penny.
Gordon: They went for it and blew it. but they do salvage $100,000 and change
for their troubles.
Jason: Amen Mike.
Rob: Ditto, Mike. This is what I hate about the Million Dollar Mission, they are
that desperate for ratings to pull off a stupid stunt like this.
Chico: And it's kerploding in their faces. Granted, it's still a hit, but not
the hit it once was.
Mike: If they're so desperate to give away money, any of us will gladly take it
off their hands.
Rob: Not only that, a better show in Power of 10, already gave away a million
dollars.
Mike: And in dramatic, unforced style.
Rob: And that wrinkled a few foreheads at NBC.
Chico: Wednesday, it lost to Pushing Daisies.
Jason: I'll take it.
Mike: Deal might be pushing daisies soon
Rob: I can't wait for next year to come. No-Gimmick DOND in syndication, I hope.
Chico: I've been waiting to say this for a while. Can I say this?
Jason: Say it
Chico: I wanna say this..
Rob: It's your show.
Chico: Please let me say this..
Don: Go for it.
Chico: IT'S THE GAME, STUPID!
Jason: APPLAUSE. (standing ovation)
Don: *Applauds*
Rob: CHICO, CHICO, CHICO.
Gordon: That being said, it still picked up an 12 rating.
Jason: Still, it's the freaking game.
Gordon: Yes. BUT as much as you want to bury the show, its not even close on
Life Support.
Mike: Yes, it's the game but it's also genuine contestants, not Endemol
cookie-cutter contestants who had a half dozen Red Bulls in the green room.
Jason: Just 6? I just need 1! lol
Mike: That big guy from Friday might need a case of 'em.
Chico: But it's definitely not the game we're used to seeing. BTW, to save you
more trouble. Alecia Whitaker... ALSO didn't win the million.
Gordon: BUT.
Chico: BUT.
Mike: I love big buts and I cannot lie.
Chico: She left with $306,000. OH! And she found one of the MDCs. Darn.
Gordon: Which could have ended this silly stunt
Jason: yup.
Don: Of course, those who saw the preview of Friday's show at the end of
Wednesday's show already knew that she had one of the MDCs.
Chico: Quite true.
Mike: And then we could go back to the lime green Escalades, Celine Dion, and
marching bands in the audience?
Rob: Or that DOND Choir.
Mike: Yay?
Gordon: Boo. Well as silly as it is., the game play does sort of go back to
normal with one MDC left. That being said... Next contestant is...
Chico: Cecil Richardson.
Gordon: Now Cecil - ALSO didn't win the million. BUT.
Chico: But?
Rob: BUT?
Mike: Another big but...
Gordon: He was going to switch cases and play the game out...but chickened out
and left also with $300,000+. Now if he switched cases like he said he would -
like his dream told him to... He would have had the million.
Jason: Ouch
Don: Big ouch.
Chico: Whoa... At this rate, it's gonna take someone with giant nards to end
this stunt.
Rob: Or there's 26 $1m cases.
Gordon: The only way this ends if if there's nothing left but 1m cases.
Chico: Continued reliance on this sort of thing will doom the show almost
indefinitely.
Mike: Yep. Next week, it goes to 7. They showed a preview of the next show with
7 millions on board.
Don: I thought I heard something about them capping the # of MDCs at 6 or
something, but Howie said the next game would have 7.
Chico: Crap. My bad.
Gordon: The announcers at the beginning of thie stunt did say it would be as
many as 6. They are going over the mark now.
Mike: It's not going to take someone with giant nards. Eventually, we'll get to
an anticlimatic $1M vs. $1M situation.
Rob: You know what the evil person in me wants to see happen?
Chico: What does the evil person in you want, Rob?
Rob: I want the contestant to knock off in round 1 in order... $1m, $1m, $1m,
$1m, $1m, $1m, And in Round 2..... $.01, $5, $1, $25, $1m.
Don: That would be evil.
Chico: Yes it would.
Gordon: And if THAT happens Rob... Then we may see what, according to our sister
site, BuzzerBlog says what would happen - they redo the show.
Chico: WHAT!? No. Nononononononono..
Gordon: The contestant started out the Million Dollar mission with 2 cases - and
promptly picked them both off in the first round.
Chico: Yep.
Don: That would have been interesting to actually watch.
Gordon: The contestant does walk out with $50,000. BUT.
Chico: BUT.
Rob: BUT???
Gordon: DOND decides that the episode was not exciting enough, so...
Chico: ... So?
Gordon: they decide to go with another contestant, starting in the Million
Dollar mission instead.
Rob: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jason: BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chico: Ugh.
Gordon: The first contestant who got edited out did keep the $50,000 that she
won.
Jason: that's good.
Rob: This is stupid on many fronts. 1: Production front. They lose out on
commercial spot money, they waste production money, and they could have recouped
the $50,000 in commercial spots. 2: Airing Front. That's more fresh episodes in
the can that they could have, so the show could still be going fresh when others
are in reruns.
Chico: (see: 5th Grader)
Rob: Yup.
Gordon: Plus - would it really have been that bad to show the episode?
Jason: Of course not. Its just a dumb move.
Chico: Because you know, that's how the business is run nowadays.
Rob: No, because that's more money to be made at the end of the day by the
network.
Chico: Forget quality, it's about quantity and getting eyeballs. The more the
better. More isn't better. More is simply MORE.
Jason: And with a writer's strike on the horizon...that was REALLY dumb.
Chico: Oh yeah. 25 more days, people. 25 more days.
Rob: Nov. 1st is the big strike?
Chico: Oct. 31 is the deadline. If nothing happens by then, then ready yourself.
Gordon: And it ain't looking too good.
Rob: I heard the negotiations are getting progressively worse. Now, how would
this affect the genre we love? Would we get hammered?
Chico: Short answer: yes with an if. Long answer: no, with a but. See, we could
get hammered if there is no agreement, but production companies are gathering
their nuts as we speak.
Rob: I see this hurting Jeopardy, Millionaire, Feud, Crosswords, and maybe a few
other Cable games. Temptation has no worries, because from what I read from the
last WLTI, production should be complete by Oct. 8 if I read correctly.
Chico: I don't see it hurting Crosswords, because I don't think they use union
writers.
Gordon: True. Most game shows have a lot of the episodes in the can.
Chico: Jeopardy! I know tapes shows many weeks in advance. 10 a week. Figure
that the typical season lasts in upwards of 180 shows, and you're done in three
months. three and a half tops. Maybe less, because you have to figure that the
show goes on the road for tourneys.
Rob: And Wheel is almost constantly on the road now.
Gordon: Most reality shows are not covered by the Union, so they will not be
affected. Some of the major ones, however, are.
Chico: But when you see major shows like the Survivors and the Top Models, they
could be affected (Top Model being a prime example)
Rob: I completely understand now. Now, I got a question for everybody. With the
upcoming writers strike probably halting most scripted programs on TV right now,
will we probably see more primetime games on Network TV?
Gordon: We sure will
Don: I'd bet on it.
Chico: I think this is more of a wait-and-see thing myself, but I wouldn't be
surprised. Surely networks will show no mercy to new shows that fail to perform
(ahemCavemenahem).
Gordon: We'll see. There are a few shows on the docket begging to be yanked.
Chico: ... Yep.
Rob: I can understand that. I'm secretly hoping for a WOF/J! combo on ABC.
Jason: We can dream
Rob: WOF with higher stakes and the return of Super Jeopardy! Or better
yet....This years TOC on Primetime.
Gordon: Hopefully, they will be more graceful than what Jennie Garth did
Jason: What did she do?
Chico: She... fell.
Jason: Ouch.
Chico: I'm guessing sympathy votes saved her, because guess who left that week.
Jason: The pretty person.
Chico: The pretty person. Albert whatshisface left the dance floor.
Jason: Reed
Chico: That's what I said. Albert Whatshisface.
Jason: fine
Gordon: And that's why he left. Big Board please
|
Why Albert Left
- You need to be
popular
- You need to know how to dance
|
Gordon: The Subject: Why Albert left.
Chico: Couldn't we just copy and paste last week's board?
Gordon: We could, but it wouldn't be as much fun. Now Albert complained that
this was a popularity contest. Well...duh. 1. You need to be popular
Chico: Like any contest with a viewer-voting element.
Gordon: The 2 first people gone - the two people with no name recognition
Chico: People know Albert's face, but that... pretty much it.
Jason: Right on.
Gordon: Now he still could have saved himself, but he also 2. didn't dance
great. He was tied at the bottom for third
Chico: Yeow. When you consider Wayne Newton was there as well...
Gordon: Yes - but Wayne has a MAJOR fan base
Rob: Wayne Newton is still a big name in Las Vegas.
Jason: Huge.
Gordon: Even as badly as he is doing, people will vote for him
Chico: And he was doing pretty badly. And Mark Cuban... well... I really can't
explain that one.
Gordon: Well, blame the surgery for that debacle
Rob: What surgery?
Chico: HRS. Hip replacement surgery.
Jason: ouch
Rob: And at that young of age. Owch.
Don: Wow.
Chico: So Albert... gone. Jane Seymour... not gone.
Gordon: And won't be for awhile
Jason: But her mom...unfortunately is.
Chico: She's continuing in memory of her late mother, which is rather noble of
her.
Jason: Very
Gordon: It's great. And you know the public will vote for her.
Rob: In spades.
Chico: I can only imagine that it was a difficult decision to make.
Jason: I would have to think.
Rob: Going through a loss like that would completely test your courage and will
to win.
Chico: That it will, and we salute her for it.
Don: Yep.
Rob: (SALUTE)
Jason: (salute)
Gordon: And as Jane has an alliance with her fans. Us fans now have an alliance
with...Drew Carey. The Price is Right - happening in a week. We've already seen
some stills. Thoughts?
Chico: Sweet.
Rob: It's make or break time for Price.
Jason: The set kicks major major behind.
Chico: I think it'll survive, myself.
Don: It's looking really good from what I saw.
Rob: However, while shopping, I spotted a tabloid with a rather interesting
headline.
Chico: Nothing's changed except the face and... the face.
Gordon: The set looks like something Drew Carey 50's ish
Chico: Which fits, because Drew looks like he ate Bill Cullen.
Jason: Hey!
Chico: Kidding...
Don: lol
Jason: But I cant wait. One week to go.
Chico: So how is Drew doing so far?
Gordon: We don't know yet, but you know we're excited about it
Chico: Yep. My sister doesn't regularly watch the show, but she said that she
might start.
Jason: cool
Chico: And this is from a person who watches the View.
Gordon: We're also excited that the Survivor we're supporting has finally
figured out that in order to play the game, you need alliances.
Chico: Jean Robert becomes Action Bob again?
Rob: Huzzah.
Jason: Wow.
Gordon: Action Bob is on the button and he wagers that he can form an alliance
with James and Aaron
Don: Nice.
Chico: That'll last him a couple of rounds, but watch what happens when the
merge comes about.
Gordon: If that happens, it spells trouble for Todd, who already loses an
alliancemate in Leslie and threatens to lose another one in Courtney.
Chico: Oh really. Guess Jean Robert's pretty much gone from undercard to the
main show.
Gordon: Meanwhile, the other tribe FINALLY wins a challenge.
Chico: Question now, are there any big threats to win the whole game?
Gordon: I would have said Todd and Amanda, but their game took a hit on the last
episode. It's still anyone's game. It really depends on where the alliances lie.
Chico: Well, let's just let the cards fly. Meanwhile, the hamsters are playing
Last One Standing... Their first event... Pellet throwing.
Jason: Ewwwww
Chico: You want to talk about survival?
Jason: Whoa! Down goes Chen-bot!
Chico: Next week, wrestling in cedar-chips.
Gordon: I'm not cleaning this mess...
Chico: Neither am I.
Gordon: (hands mop and pail to Jason)
Chico: You can wait until after Brainvision, though. We've got a lot in the
Brainvision.
Jason: Why is it that I clean up all the messes?
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.
Gordon: Who wants a date with Menudo?
Chico: ... I'll pass.
Jason: Uh no.
Gordon: What about a date with Drew Carey?
Rob: No way.
Jason: Sure.
Mike: I'll pass.
Chico: ... I guess it's October 15?
 TPIR:
Drew is on October 15th. Making the Band: Menudo is on October 25th.
Rob: I will definately watch TPIR, and I never cared for anything Menudo.
Also on the 25th, Are You Smarter Than a Canadian 5th Grader... with Colin
Mochrie, and the syndicated DOND is in the Fall of 2008
Rob: Now here's the question. Will they string out Canadian 5th grader like
they do here in America?
Gordon: Don?
Don: I'll let you know how it turns out.
Chico: Actually, it'll air five Thursdays in a row. I saw the press release.
Jason: its an even swap now.
Chico: I've got a date for you in the Business End...
 If
you're in Vegas on October 13, then get ready to head to the opening/dedication
of the Game Show Hall of Fame.
Mike: But not the one created by our good friend Paul Bailey, right?
Chico: I don't know.
Jason: Nope. Not him.
Gordon: Tell us more about it, Jason
Chico: Hello?
Jason: This hall of fame is being set up somewhere in Vegas. We do not know who
is behind it or where its being located. Paul wants to set up a building in
Truth or Consequences N.M.
Chico: Hmm... strange.
Gordon: So we'll find out when they get inducted. Ooooh.
Don: Interesting.
Jason: The first four "inductees" are Peter Marshall, Hugh Downs (getting a
lifetime achievement award), Wink Martindale and Monty Hall.
Chico: As always, when we find out more, so will you.
Jason: Two of which the Game Show Congress already honored.
Gordon: What really isn't a mystery is who will be in this weeks Haterade.
Chico: Gee. I wonder who's being hated on this week. No really. I do. Can't you
see I'm serious?
Gordon: Uh....no.
Chico: 'cause I ain't. :)
Gordon: But first, Are You Smarter Than... Jonny Fairplay?
Chico: Yes.
Don: Sure.
Jason: Oh yeah.
Mike: Who isn't?
 Jonny
foolishly decided to get all sorts of inebriated and then try to put a wrestling
move on Danny Bonaduce, who responds by flipping Johnny on his head and makes
him lose some teeth. But wait - there's more.
Chico: MOOOORE?!
Jason: Yup. More.
Jonny attempts to file charges, which is denied. What isn't denied was some
of the other women at the Reality TV Awards, including members of
the...Moonlight Bunny Ranch Brothel... who are saying that Johnny was making out
with them - which isn't too good if you've just impregnated someone who you're
supposed to be married to.
Chico: And a freaking model to boot.
Jason: Hello Cathouse?
Rob: Air Force Amy has to pay her bills one way or another.
Jason: Oh Jonny.
Chico: Bad, Jonny.
Don: Ouch.
Chico: No home game.
Rob : No Rice A Roni
Gordon: And for haterade, we have 2 servings.
Jason: DOUBLE SHOT
Chico: Double it up, G.
Gordon: We'll start with the one that unfortunately, is no surprise.
 Bob
Barker is once again being sued - this time by Deborah Curling, who said he made
her life miserable after testifying against him in a previous trial.
Jason: Can I put on my legal hat for a minute?
Chico: Judges? (DING)
Gordon: By all means
Jason: Ok, realize I am not a lawyer, but I have been to paralegal school. And
am a paralegal. If any lawyers want to correct me, go right ahead. I did the
read the summons and complaint. Isn't it illegal to bring up alleged prior bad
acts (i.e. the previous lawsuits) except to establish a pattern, which none of
these suits ever went to trial and proved anything?
Chico: IIRC, they were all settled out of court. So in truth, no liability was
ever proved. Just something to think about.
Jason: And the timing of the suit is a little suspect too. One week before the
biggest change in the shows history. Just saying.
Chico: Indeed. Second shot of Haterade, please?
The second shot goes to recently eliminated Top Model Finalist Kimberly
Leemans, who says that she was eliminated because Jay Manuel did not pick her
best photos, calling the show less of a talent show and more of a popularity
contest between who the judges like personally better.
Jason: Meow Mix anyone?
Chico: Sour grapes much?
Rob: Could make a few bottles of wine with all of those sour grapes.
Gordon: Or some Haterade.
Chico: And then, I got loaded on said "whine".
Gordon: Lets get fully loaded
Chico: Hic.... I think that was J's line. This week, playing the Feud... for
cash money.
 Okay,
so we don't have Fast Cash this season, but if you go to Worldwinner.com, you
can play the Family Feud for cash. Ads for the new game are running on new eps
of the Feud as well as during reruns on GSN.
Jason: Hic indeed
Rob: Getting more bang for their buck I bet.
Jason: sorry I was finishing the double shot
Rob: You alright, Jason?
Jason: sure...the stuff is strong.
Rob: Gordon only buys the best.
Chico: The only bad thing about the game is that some answers are played Fame
Game 07 style.
Rob: Now that's bad.
Chico: i.e. Wheel tossup.
Don: Oh, geez.
Chico: Win enough money, and yuo can get one of those cool red couches.
Gordon: Its a comfy red couch
Rob: Or some Maid Service, maybe even some designer handbags.
Chico: Nope. Just a couch. And on it... 35-year-old models.
Rob: Uhhhh, no thank you.
Jason: Ok
 TV
Land is still casting for "She's Got the Look", due to premiere next Spring.
Casting info is available at tvland.com
Gordon: And then, there's....this....
Another... less appealing casting call is going out for people who think
they're hot.
Jason: Me! Me!
Rob: God, are they bringing back Are You Hot?
Chico: Apparently...
Fox Reality is casting what they call "a steamy new reality show" for people
who "think they're not enough to be on TV and know they can make money from
their look." Phone number is 818-391-5666.
Rob: Calling Lorenzo Lamas, we got another gig for you. And yes, please bring
that laser pointer of yours.
Chico: Actually, according to our firends at Realitywanted.com, the working
title is "Hot Tub Rankings". ... Oh boy.
Rob: Then this should be on late night Cinemax, not Fox Reality.
Chico: So it's not "Are You Hot", but it might as well be.
Rob: My feeling, it's a lot worse.
Chico: Top money... $2500.
Don: Yipes.
Chico: Yeah, it's a lot worse.
Rob: Two words make that happen. Fox and Reality.
Gordon: Two other words to make it happen - Media and Ho
Chico: *plays "Pimpin All Over the World"*
Gordon: In this week's Hodometer...
 Anne
Robinson divorces her husband of 27 years, while Elaine Joyce (Second time
Around) and Bob Saget (Drowsy Chaperone) both do Broadway...
Rob: Guess we found out that Her husband was the weakest link, GOODBYE!
Andrew Firestone gets engaged again, Hulk Hogan gets the Gladiators hosting
gig, Ben Stein tells you all to stop haterading Oil...
Jason: Ugh on the Hogan thing...what were you thinking, NBC? YOU FOOL!
Rob: Now if we can get Mean Gene Okerlund to do backstage interviews, we're
perfect.
Ed McMahon attends a fundraiser, while David Madden is looking to raise money
in a walkathon, Jordin Sparks's album shows up on November 20th, The Conttender
1's Joey Gilbert gets into trouble for having illegal stuff in his body during a
match. Dennis Miller is the new host of 'Sports Unfiltered', and Hung Hyun wins
Top Chef 3.
Gordon: But none of them are your Ho of the Week....or should I say 3 hoes.
Jason: Three?
Don: 3? Whoa.
Chico: Three?
Rob: Triple Play for Ho of the Week.
Gordon: Bob Eubanks, Chuck Woolery and Jamie Farr are all hosting a new show in
Las Vegas where $50,000 will be given away and up to $250,000 could be won.
Jason: (starting looking for hotel rooms in Vegas)
Rob: Bob Eubanks actually tried that out at the Emerald Queen Casino in August.
Jason: Did you go?
Rob: I would have went, but it was on August 29th. My 21st was August 30th.
Chico: Ah.
Rob: GAHHHHHHHHHH!
Jason: Oh man! That SUCKS.
Rob: It did, but I still had fun at the Emerald Queen on my birthday. Only lost
$40. Thanks for the advice, Gordon.
Jason: Gordon is the man at the casinos.
Gordon: lol - thanks...I think. And those...are your hoes.
Chico: Because I've gone one going global trip that you're all going to love.
Rob: What is it?
Chico: We're going to the Philippines.
 Where,
premiering on Monday in primetime is their version of "Whammy!"
Don: Nice.
Rob: Oh WOW!
Jason: Yes!
Rob: It uses the same set as the GSN version.
Chico: The only downside... it's on opposite Deal or No Deal.
Jason: Stop at a whammy.
Rob: EEEKKKKKKKK! More like a Double Whammy, Jason.
Gordon: Now will it be Press Your Luck style or Whammy style?
Chico: Judging from the logo and the stills... it'll be Whammy style. The show
is called "Whammy! Push Your Luck"
Rob: I wonder if GSN should bring this back, if it does well over there.
Don: I think it would be nice to see some new episodes of it.
Gordon: I prefer they bring the original back
Rob: With all the airplay it's getting on GSN now, it seems inevitable.
Chico: I say original rules, new set. Happy medium. Everyone's happy.
Don: That would work for me.
Jason: Bingo
Gordon: It has to be something better than their 0.3 average. Yick. And that's
Brainvision. Shut it down.
Chic: Done and done.
Jason: Wow, that cage was filthy after the fight.
Chico: Okay, we've got a break but first, last week we asked you were you stood
on the issue of the writers vs. producers re: Temptation. 68% of you said...
"Who cares, just cancel the thing."
Don: The way it's going, now that I've seen civilian eps on Peachtree TV... I
agree.
Chico: 24% side with the writers.
Gordon: Not much Fremantle love
Chico: Nope. So what do we have this week?
Rob: That makes, what, 5 shows they screwed up revivals on?
Gordon: 50
Jason: 500
Rob: MG, Feud, Sharks, Whammy and now Sale
Chico: Feud was fixed. Whammy was doable.
Gordon: Anyhoo, this week's Poll...

Gordon: ...
Mike: Gordon Pepper FTW. Who doesn't want to know the real Gordon away from
the golden WLTI keyboard?
Don: Oh, I can't wait to see how this one turns out.
Gordon: Oh, I can. Why not any of you guys?
Mike: Oh it's real fun seeing someone teach, go home, and then go to sleep.
Jason: oh yeah. I work and go home. Yawn.
Mike: I'm not the party boy you are, Pepper.
Gordon: I do charity work and I bowl a few nights a week.
Mike: And that's more than I do in 3 months.
Chico: Gordon, you're nominated. Results next week. Next up. I just got paid
and am looking for a good (game-show related) time.
Gordon: Oh baby. Hook me up.
Mike: And this is why I'd rather see what Gordon does after hours.
Chico: Ha! This is WLTI, celebrating five years of hitting the hype where it
hurts.
(Brainvision is powered by "Wookin' Pa Nub with Buckwheat"... The Little
Rascal is all grown up and looking for a little rascal of his own. Premiering on
VH1... eventually)
