Episode 22.7
October 26

Chico: Ha!
Jason: 6 times in a row
Chico: I remember that. I'm thinking to myself, this has got to be a mistake of some sort.
Gordon: Whats not a mistake is as we enter sweeps week, start to decipher all of the press releases we'll be hearing about in the upcoming weeks.
Chico: Let's Read Between the Lines... This is from Carnie Wilson, after GSN announced "Unstapled".

"I am thrilled to be working with GSN on my new series—I have so much fun doing The Newlywed Game, and I love to engage my fans and let them know about what’s happening in my life. I know there are so many people going through the same stages of life that I’m experiencing, and this new series gives us a great opportunity for an honest and lively give-and-take."

Chico: My take: You know those little green bits of paper with pictures of presidents on them? I want MORE OF THOSE!
Jason: Translation: GSN is paying me to let them follow me around.
Gordon: Translation: Oooh. money. Feed me (Chomp)
Chico: You get it. We miss Soupy...
Jason: Its all about the Benjamins, baby
Gordon: Next one...

'The Price is Right Having it's best 18-54 ratings for women in over a year!'

Jason: Translation: We will promote any good news we have!
Chico: Translation: Anything to shut the fanboys up!
Gordon: Translation: We're going in the right direction. We haven't hit Bob Barker numbers yet, but we're working on it.
Jason: Seriously though...even though it's spin, we are glad they ARE going in the right direction.
Chico: This gives due credence to Drew, Michael, Rich & company that whatever they're doing, it's working. And that is a GOOD thing.
Gordon: Its getting better. The ratings with them in 2nd and third show it. Now we need more people to show up.
Chico: Next: Cat Deeley (my new game show hussy) on Katie Holmes from last season...

"It's quite terrifying to go on and do something like that when that's not what you're known for. I can only respect people who put themselves out there and go for it and try new things and that's exactly what she did."

Jason: Translation: Don't kill her too hard.
Gordon: Translation: I know you all want to kill her, but hey, we have to do what the corporate shills tell us what to do, which means that if Katie includes ratings, we try Katie. And since I'm still getting a paycheck from them, you won't hear anything bad from me about it...until I release my tell all autobiography 20 years down the road.
Chico: Translation: "She sucked! Hey! Let's talk about something else!"
Gordon: You wanna talk about something else?
Chico: ... why not?
Gordon: Let's talk about something else!

'TOP SELLING AMERICAN IDOLS OF ALL TIME' TO PERFORM AT "2009 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS" on ABC. This includes Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry and newcomer Adam Lambert.

Chico: Translation: ... Kris Allen? Who the hell is Kris Allen?
Jason: Translation: American Idol is the 900 pound gorilla of the music industry and we at ABC will take any opportunity to suck some of the Fox Fairy Dust off it to us.
Gordon: We're going to hope you remember the good people you voted on and hope you forget that you idiots also voted in Taylor Hicks and Kris Allen instead of Daughtry and Adam Lambert, which ruined our proposed title of 'American Idol Winners'. Morons.
Chico: Oh well.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next...

On the death of Fox Reality: "With the changing cable landscape, we've made a strategic decision to shift some resources and refocus on emerging channels."

Jason: Translation: No one was watching.
Chico: Translation: Ain't no money in it no mo'.
Gordon: Translation: We didn't get ratings. We didn't get advertising. And well, wait, you didn't want to watch Battle of the Bods? What was wrong with that show?
Chico: I'll take "Everything and the Kitchen Sink" for $200, Alex.
Gordon: The answer is...last one...

Chico and Jason proclaim that Gordon Pepper is going to have the 'Best Birthday Week' ever.

Jason: Translation: He will.
Chico: Translation: We promise not to rag on him TOO MUCH.
Gordon: Translation: I have the best friends and colleagues a guy could ask for. I don't need anything else.
Jason: *applause*
Chico: *applause*
Jason: Happy Birthday Sir.
Gordon: Thank you. Now watch me torture both of them after the break - Next!
Jason: Wait...what?
Chico: ...WHAT?!

(Brainvision has been brought to you by Pupperoni! It's something you can see on The Price is Right every day! Pupperoni! If you don't buy after the first 5 times you see the ad, maybe you will on the 6th time!)

Jason: Yum!
Chico: And it's good for humans to eat, too... wait, no it isn't.
Gordon: And being that it's my birthday week and all, let's celebrate it with a little Buen Trato!
Chico: Yay! That way these costumes make sense.
Jason: Woot!
Gordon: Now I have for both of you, $100 worth of Pupperoni.
Chico: *eats one*
Jason: spicy.
Chico: ... It's not as good as they say.
Gordon: You can keep it, or trade it for the Curtain, which has 'The Price is Right' on it. Anyone trading?
Chico: I'll take it!
Jason: heck yeah
Gordon: You both get...

An iMac! It's one of the things I want for my Birthday. Total Value: $2,149.

Jason: They just came out with the bigger screens! Sweet!
Gordon: MACs rule. Now for most people, that would be good enough.
Jason: yes....
Chico: I'm a computer pimp. I'll use anything.
Gordon: But not me. I'm offering you a small box called 'Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader.' You want it?
Chico: ... I'll keep my computer, thanks.
Jason: I like my Imac
Chico: I'm a PC with an iMac. Does that make me dirty?
Gordon: Neither of you win...

A Trip to the Caribbean! Since no one wants it, we would have given it to you guys. That, plus $500 in spending money, is worth $3,590!

Jason: Drat.
Chico: I like the Caribbean.
Gordon: And you can even spell it correctly.
Chico: Oh well.
Gordon: But I have more. I have another small box. This one says Jeopardy. Who wants it?
Jason: I got a BAD feeling about this. I am keeping my Imac.
Chico: ... I smell a trick. No dice, sir.
Gordon: Neither of you get...

Jeff Kirby's Tie! We can't give him any money for his silliness, but we can give a piece of the experience to you. Total Value: $15, and a Chasco! (Brrrr...Stamp!)

Jason: I knew it. High Five, C
Chico: Word. Up top
Jason: Down low.
Gordon: Next up...Catch 21, in curtain form. Who wants some Catch 21 fun?
Chico: ... I'm in. Hit me.
Jason: I do. Bye bye Imac

You win...a Wine Rack! In honor of Poppy, the Fine Wine Auctioneer who won $25,000 on Monday's show. Total Value: $3,500.

Chico: Nice.
Jason: Very cool.
Gordon: Next one. It's a big Box that says Newlywed Game. Does anyone want it?
Chico: No thank you
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: Neither of you win...

All the consolation prizes on The Newlywed Game!

Chico: Awww.
Jason: Darn it. :)

Now you may think it's a Chasco, but with $500 worth of Omaha Steaks, a Coffee Maker, a years worth of Netflix, and $5,000 from the celebrity couples episode, this is a Prize Package worth $6,035!

Jason: It's not that we don't trust you...but we don't :)
Gordon: I've noticed.
Chico: Perceptive.
Gordon: Anyways, its time for the Big Deal of the Day, and since you 2 have the same amount, I'll let you choose from 1 of 3 doors. Door #1 says Trato Hecho. Door #2 says Family Feud. Door #3 says The NEW Let's Make a Deal with Billy Bush
Chico: 1! 1!
Jason: I will risk it with #3
Gordon: We will START with the door that neither of you picked, and that's Door #2.  Neither of you win....

Hey look, it's the Knight Family! Remember the theme of Deja Vu? Well, they were ALSO on the show, and they were brought back.



Chico: We have a graphic for everything, don't we? =p
Gordon: Yes
Jason: Didn't we see that before?
Gordon: Maybe.

You would have won EVERYTHING they did for the past 2 days, which would have been a total of $16,720!!!!!

Jason: I really hope that wasn't the big deal
Gordon: Its not.
Jason: Oh good.
Gordon: Now Chico, you wanted Door #1.
Gordon: I will show you Door #1...AFTER I show Jason Door #3.
Chico: (in a state of frozen shock)
Gordon: And here's what Jason wins!

You win... the set of kilts used for the 'What's Under my Kilt' Sketch. Total Value: $69. CHASCO! (Brrrr..stamp)

Jason: Aw man!
Chico: I got the big one, didn't I?
Gordon: And Chico wins the Big Deal of the Day!
Gordon: Here's what you win!

You've Won a Week's Worth of Trato Hecho Big Deals from their first week on the Air! That would include a Trip to Puerto Vallarta...a trip to Mexico, living roomm and watches, a trip to Cancun, a kitchen and a Chrysler PT Cruiser! Total Value of this Trato: $33,857!!!!!

Gordon: Buen Trato!
Chico: NICE! Que nice!
Jason: Congrats man!
Gordon: While Chico fills out all of the IRS tax forms, we'll go to break.

(Brainvision has been brought to you by Pupperoni! It's something you can see on The Price is Right every day! Pupperoni! If you're a dog, it's the perfect Trick or Treat gift. If you're an adult, please go out with your kids to make sure everyone has a safe and happy holiday!)

Gordon: We've seen that commercial before...

Chico: We have a graphic for everything, don't we? =p
Gordon: Yes
Jason: Didn't we see that before?
Gordon: Maybe.
Jason: We do this every year, so let's do it one more time.

Chico: How to make this a very safe Halloween for everyone. 1. Make sure your little kids are wearing reflective costumes or tape... and give them a flashlight.
Jason: 2. Make sure they can see and breathe correctly through the eye and mouth holes
Chico: 3) Only go to houses in the neighborhood you know, OR alternatively, look to see if local malls are holding their own trick-or-treats.
Gordon: 4. DOUBLE CHECK THE CANDY to make sure its safe to eat.
Chico: 5) Only go to houses of people you know.
Jason: 6) Check the books to see if there are any hours where you live. And always...have fun!
Chico: And don't forget to practice proper trick-or-treating etiquette. "YOU. CANDY. NOW."
Jason: NO!
Chico: I kid! I kid! :-)
Gordon: That's something I would do.
Chico: Here's something else you'd do. Speed round starts... NOW! Dancing... Who's about to hang up their clogs for good?
Jason: Can I call Irvin now?
Gordon: You can. He still won't go.
Chico: Please. For the love of all that is right and good in the world.
Gordon: I'll call Louie. He doesn't have the audience support. Survivor: Assuming we have a tribal vote, who leaves?
Chico: Russell H. You know, the one who's left.
Jason: Oh no.
Chico: oh yea.
Jason: I am thinking Shambo on Galu or Liz on Foa Foa
Gordon: The loss of Russell on the other tribe shifts the politics there. Shambo may not be as doomed as we think. I think Liz could have issues there.
Chico: All depends on how the challenge falls.
Gordon: Sure does. The Ultimate Fighter: Qunentin 'Rampage' Jackson's team doesn't have a win yet. Are they getting one this week?
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Nope.
Jason: Rashad knows the deal here.
Chico: I smell a sweep coming.
Gordon: I smell mail coming. What do we got?
Chico: We got a couple of good ones. We'll go through them quickly.
Chico: First up, Dougie Mo...

Chico: Thanks, Doug. If I recall correctly, there is a place for your SSN.
Jason: I mean, Jeopardy has only missed a few over 26 years. That's not a bad ratio. Even so, they need to be more careful.
Gordon: If there wasn't one before, I'm sure there will be now.
Jason: This is more on the cojones of Kirby.
Chico: Agreed. Jeff did a bad bad thing. But also remember that the Brain Bus and the Test... two different brands of the same critter. So something to mull about.
Gordon: Thanks for the email, Doug. Next one?
Chico: Next is from Eddie Timanus. Thanks, Eddie!
Jason: Yo Eddie!

Jason: Thats a nice back pat from Eddie!
Chico: Yep. Thanks, Eddie, I needed that. Meanwhile... more corrections.

Chico: This from ... the regular Stat Boy
Gordon: Thanks Jason Wuthrich. now if you want to tell us what we missed, or just wish me a nice happy birthday, where does the email go?
Chico: It goes to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com Or you can... "Find us on Facebook".... or MySpace.
Gordon: or YouTube. So that's our show this week. a very special thank you to Jason Block for helping us with the show this week.
Jason: And a happy birthday again to the co-host. Gordon Pepper.
Gordon: Thanks, Jay :)
Chico: And thanks to you for watching. Until next week, for the birthday boy and everyone at GSN, I've been Chico Alexander. Game over... and spread the love :-)
