October 8

Jason: I'd watch
Chico: So would I, being the Caniac. Welcome back to WLTI. Thanks for being a part of our week and allowing our week to be a part of you.
Gordon: Thank you. And I have 100 hockey pucks. (Gives pucks to Chico and Jason)
Chico: Not like they're being used, sadly.
Gordon: Now you can trade the pucks to the Pepper Pawn Shop for $100, or you can trade them for a variety of items as we play Buen Trato.
Jason: WOOT
Gordon: First up - a Big Box with 'America's Next Top Model' on it. Who wants it?
Jason: I will keep the $100.
Chico: I'll keep the money
Gordon: Inside the Big Box....

It's a VCR Camera and supplies! The models used something like that to video their own messages while modeling and it could have been yours. Total value: $2,250.

Jason: Oh well.
Chico: Eh.
Gordon: If you don't like that, I have a Curtain that says 'Chef Race: Uk Vs. US' if you prefer.
Jason: You know what...I'll take it.
Chico: I don't think I'd like what's behind that curtain. I'm keeping the cash.
Gordon: Behind the curtain....

It's a Trip to Las Vegas! You can go to bet on the Final Four...oh wait, already did that. Still, a nice trip worth $4,595!

Jason: MGM Grand!
Chico: I was expecting a bag of trashed meat. Seriously... who throws away bison?!
Gordon: No meat, sorry. But I do have a small box with 'The AMazing Race on it. I promise there's no Bison Meat in the box.
Jason: HELL NO!
Gordon: Chico?
Chico: I'll .... pass.
Gordon: Inside the box...

Ok, so I telegraphed the Frog Fallopian tubes in here (CHASCO!)

Jason: YES you did :-)
Chico: Called it.
Jason: I seriously almost lost it when watching
Gordon: I hear it tastes like Bison though. Moving on.... What about a small box with 'Survivor' on it?
Chico: I'll take it.
Gordon: Jason?
Jason: I like Vegas.
Gordon: ok. Inside the Small Box....

A Rice Cooker. Perfect for hiding immunity emblems. Inside the pot...MORE Frog Fallopian Tubes (CHASCO!)

Jason: ROFLMAO
Chico: Ha
Gordon: Hey, you can never get enough frog fallopian Tubes.
Chico: Maybe. But you got a couple more deals left...
Gordon: Actually, I do. Next one - a Curtain with 'Top Chef masters' on it.
Chico: I'm in.
Jason: I'll take it.
Gordon: You know the tubes would be perfect on a cooking show.
Jason: They would...you wouldn't be that evil though...WOULD YOU?
Gordon: I would,,,but that would be passe'. Behind the curtains...

A new work office station, where you can write letters on your new personal computer.

Jason: boom!
Chico: Hey!

The chefs had to make their meals based on writing letters and you can write your own. And congratulations to Chris Cosentino, for winning Top Chef Masters. The Desk set is worth...$5,000.

Chico: Nice
Gordon: Finally...I have 2 curtains.
Jason: Here we go :-)
Gordon: One says 'The Voice' and one says 'X=Factor'
Jason: Ill will keep my desk and like it.
Chico: I know one show is critically and commercially better than the other. I also know the mind of Gordon Pepper.
Gordon: Hi.
Chico: So I'm going to change the desk out for The X Factor.
Gordon: ok. Behind The Voice....

You get 4 FABULOUS...Goal posts. NBC, which airs the NHL, is getting hosed, and if you picked this door, so would you. CHASCO!

Chico: Nailed it.
Gordon: Games are no fun unless you can guess the pattern.
Chico: Again, I know how Gordon Pepper's mind works.
Jason: But...you know Gordon could have been put CHASCOs behind both of them
Chico: I know.
Gordon: Behind the X-Factor -

It's a cross country trip! Youget to go to San Francisco, Austin, Kansas City, Providence and Greensboro - plus $2,000 in spending money for each trip AND an AUDI waiting for you when you get home. This Deal is worth $45,795!

Jason: HOLY cow...
Chico: YEAH MAN!
Jason: an Audi?
Chico: That's what I'm talking about.
Jason: Awesome! I got a desk though, so I am happy.
Chico: you can write about me winning this car.
Gordon: You'll get the trip when the NHL awards a franchise in Providence, Rhode Island
Chico: Ah...oh... :-(
Gordon: But think about that while we have this break!

(brought to you by ACME Food's New Orleans Jambalanada! This week's flavor: Wisconsin Cheese. It's sharp with a last second kick to it. Get it? Last second kick? That's Jambalanada - food of the Aint's)

Jason: LOL
Gordon: Hi Carl Chenier! (Waves)
Jason: Hi Carl.
Chico: And if you're reading this while you're listening to the podcast... at least we haven't been canceled.
Gordon: So Carl, I tell Chico this with the O-Fer holes. All the New Orleans Saints has to do is win a game. Then the Jambalanada goes away.
Chico: So let's get to the next game... It's Higher-Lower. You know how this works, so let's get started.

Let's Make a Deal is giving a dealer a day a chance at $20,000. But how many actually win it? Higher or Lower than... 1.5?

Gordon: Higher - 2.0
Jason: Lower 1. It's a macguffin.
Chico: A macguffin?
Jason: A big tease
Chico: They use that term in the age of the great Gatsby? :-)
Jason: Ha :-)
Chico: But I see it happening at least once.... and again at the end of the week, so 2. HIGHER.
Gordon: Ask the Plinko operators how well that promotion worked.
Chico: Yeah, it worked ONCE. On the first day.
Gordon: Next one...

What's the number of people this season who will see a Million Dollar question on Millionaire? Higher or Lower than...1.5?

Chico: Hasn't happened since Ken Basin. Won't happen this year. LOWER.
Jason: I agree with Chico. It's LOWER.
Gordon: I think we'll see it, if it's already October and we're seeing $250,000 questions. HIGHER. Next one?
Chico: Next...

Rob Wilson is your next TPIR Model. But the prize is only for a week. What are the odds that he becomes part of the regular rotation? Higher or Lower than 50%?

Jason: Much Higher. Daniel Goddard and Rob will be part of the cast.
Gordon: Higher. The women watching will drool over them.
Chico: And now a little something for the ladies...And besides audience and sex appeal and what not, remember... Rachel Reynolds is preggers. Gwendolyn Osborne Smith is also preggers. So let's think perhaps PLACE HOLDERS.
Gordon: True. So you need people there for at least the time being. next one...

The Amazing Race; how much is first place going to win? Higher or Lower than...$1,999,999.99.

Chico: LOWER.
Jason: LOWER. Not going to happen this year.
Chico: Ryan & Abbie are going to have to fight.
Gordon: Lower. I think they will stick around for a while, but I don't think they win it.
Chico: I'm going to give them the shot, but they're going to have to fight. Next...

We haven't talked about GSN's American Bible Challenge yet this week, despite it being the network's biggest hit since creation. Pun intended. How long before we see tournament 2? Higher or lower than 6 months?

Jason: Maybe Lower. I think it can get produced for May Sweeps
Gordon: Should: Higher. This should be a yearly event. WILL: Lower. I'll say 4 months.
Chico: I'm going higher. SEVEN months. Wait until the summer. Or at least wait until Family Trade flops. And it will. But if I'm GSN, I seriously renew this. It's money in the bank. And since it plays to Red America, it's A LOT of money in the bank. :-)
Gordon: You have to renew this. Last one...

We all know Emily and Jef are not getting married. Chico has to sent back his gift for them. When do they announce that this is over? Higher or lower than...February 14th, 2013?

Jason: Lower
Chico: Lower. And I'm taking back my Osterizer.
Gordon: Lower. I don't see them spending Thanksgiving with their families. But hey I have a gift! (Gives them a hockey puck)
Chico: WOO! Time for third intermission. Speed Round is next. hang on.

Jason: (standing ovation)
Gordon: Well said sir
Chico: Thank you, sir. And as a wise man once said, "You can make a difference." Join in the fight, we come together... we win. That's how it works. And this is how we work in a Speed Round...NOW. Survivor: does the bleeding continue for the Matsing?
Jason: Yes...Russell goes
Gordon: Ill say...no. Let's say goodbye to Michael Skupin.
Chico: I think someone else may be in trouble. Skupin is as good as any. Dancing: who's gone? I say Kirstie.
Gordon: Not Bristol. I'll say Kirstie as well.
Jason: Kelly Monaco
Gordon: The Race: Who's gone?
Chico: Ja(y)mes
