Episode 19.7
October 20

Chico: 13 million dollar cases!
Jason: YAY!
Gordon: I'd vote for him. Of course, he can't win, because he's Canadian, but I'd still vote for him.
Chico: I'd vote for him, I don't care if he's Canadian.
Gordon: So welcome back to the show, and ...what's this big gift wrapped thing in the middle of the studio?
Chico: Gordon... I got you an island...
Gordon: (opens it up) Oh Chico! My own gift wrapped island! How thoughtful!
Chico: This... is a papier mache model.
Jason: Still a nice job.
Chico: The real island is somewhere out in the Pacific and is reasonably larger.
Gordon: I will call it Augustusopolis
Jason: Nice name.
Gordon: Cause every good tropical island needs some zombies. Especially near Halloween.
Chico: Let's populate, shall we?
Jason: Let's do this.
Chico: First up...

The writing team of Bingo America or the writing team of Temptation?

Jason: Temptation by far.
Chico: I'm going to make a case for Bingo America. They said Itchy of Itchy and Scratchy... was the cat. THAT. IS. UN. FORGIVABLE.
Gordon: At least in Temptation, the writers had to somewhat work. You can't get trivia questions wrong. Send Bingo America over.
Chico: That's what I'm talking about.
Gordon: Next one

Hole in The Wall or Opportunity Knocks. Here are your first 2 game show casualties who get yanked (and presumably cancelled) in mid-season. Pick one and send it over.

Chico: Hole in the Wall
Jason: Hole In the Wall. Without question.
Gordon: Send HITW over. Take the 16 unaired episodes along with you. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

Sugar and Ace are unwillingly controlling all the cards in Survivor, not to mention dragging their tribe behind... so which one should go onto Augustus's little rock?

Jason: We need hot dumb women on the Island. Sugar.
Chico: There you go.
Gordon: Sugar is an idiot, but she does have the idol. Ace may be the best player out there - he went from a liability to an ally and if he can get the coalition of the weak to band together come the merge, he could be a force to be reckoned with. I'd say the 2 dumbest people out there are Sugar and Dan, who is quickly going from a strength to a liability on Kota. I would send Dan and Sugar over. Especially since Dan wanted to eat the normal rations IN ADDITION to the reward. That will get you enemies very quickly.
Chico: Oh yeah. He's a target. Next boat?
Gordon: Next one...

BRAVO or Lifetime. Who's to blame for the Project Runway mess?

Jason: BRAVO. They didn't follow the rules. Send them to the Island.
Chico: Bravo... They wanted their cake and they wanted to eat it, too
Gordon: I think that Lifetime is someone who got brought into this mess under good faith. BRAVO needs to get send packing. Next?
Chico: Next...

Who's responsible for Drew's latest clusterschmazz of shenanigans? Seriously. Pick one.

Gordon: Only one?
Jason: I have two.
Chico: Fine. Pick as many as you feel you need to
Jason: Drew Carey for going off like a kid in the candy store...and Syd Vinnedge for allowing it to happen.
Chico: Can't forget Mike Richards. He can't wash his hands of this either.
Gordon: Drew, Syd, Mike and Cecile. I'm sending all 4 of them over for turning the CBS Morning Flagship into another ship - The Titanic.
Chico: I'd like to add, and believe you me, I hate this as much as you do.... Fingers.
Jason: Why her?
Chico: She's basically assuming the Dob's role, right?
Jason: Syd is.
Chico: So she's yet to reign Drew in. She's on stage when this is all happening, and she hasn't stepped in to stop it.
Gordon: In defense of her, she's in around as much as a lame duck position as you can be in without growing feathers and a beak.
Jason: I am with Gordon on this one.
Chico: Looks like a full deck here.
Jason: She is the last refuge of the old guard. If Fingers goes...it's all over. I do mean that. She is the LAST one of the Barker regime.
Chico: And the countdown begins... now. Thank you, Jason. Because, you know, once you say it, it's out there.
Gordon: Last one...

XBOX 360 Live or 1 Vs. 100

Gordon: XBOX Live Primetime is not ready to go out as scheduled. And the flagship show which they are going to use, 1 Vs. 100, has been canned by NBC.
Jason: I will go with the XBOX 360 Upgrade.
Chico: Can hardly blame NBC for that. Might as well send over 1 vs. 100. No use to us here.
Gordon: I'm a SONY guy. I'm sending over XBOX
Chico: So where's your PS3?
Jason: He is waiting for FFXIII - Like everyone else.
Chico: He'll be waiting a long time.
Gordon: I'll buy one when I don't have to spend the same amount as I would for a season's worth of food. So to sum this one up...

Microsoft presents the live XBOX Tour! With a free demo of Hole in the Wall! The Price is Right executive staff will set up the show with Drew Carey hosting. The show will air on BRAVO, and the Bingo America writers prepare for the show while Sugar and Dan frolic in the pool...as they will all get besieged by Augustus and his family of Tropical Zombies. Drew Carey will be the main dish while Augustus' Cousins will take the TV equipment and throw it into the pool, electrocuting Dan and the rest of the Hole in the Wall crew. The writing crew becomes the dessert, while Augustus will bite Sugar to convert her into the zombie queen and they will make lots of little zombie babies. It's a zombie massacre and everyone dies. The End.

Chico: See? A love story!
Jason: And The Zombies walk into the sunset....awww.....
Chico: Makes you want to throw it to commercial.
Gordon: Let's throw it to commercial. Break!
Chico: We'll be back.

(Brought to you by Carey-Barker '08. Barbara Walters hates puppies. Think about it... View ratings go up, TPIR ratings go down. That means less money for our staff...That means less dog food for their puppies. Puppies... Love... Dog Food. So when you go vote... think about the puppies.)

Jason: I hate negative campaign commercials.
Chico: Especially when they don't really have any meaningful messages.
Jason: Are you making an allegorical point to something bigger?
Chico: Both. You know what I'm saying?
Gordon: I sure do. Puppies' Tails make good sockets for appliances.
Chico: GORDON!
Jason: Are you nuts?

(This is a Public Service announcement from WLTI. Puppies tails do NOT make good wall sockets. Do not attempt to plug your appliance into a puppy's tail or any other part of a puppy. Thank you.)

Chico: That's more like it.
Gordon: Aww.
Jason: No phone calls to legal this week.
Chico: Okay.
Gordon: Anyways, I have some deals for you both.
Chico: Okay.
Gordon: Welcome back to Buen Trato, the game where my colleagues try to get the beat deal.
Jason: The game I rarely win :)
Chico: Have faith, J. Have faith.
Gordon: We start off with a Gift Certificate to The Celebrity Apprentice Cupcake Store. Value is $100 for each of you.
Jason: That's 5 cupcakes.
Chico: Nummy
Jason: Yum.
Gordon: You can keep that, or trade it for a curtain that says 'Stylista'. Do either of you want it?
Jason: I do.
Chico: Nah. I'm good.
Gordon: Jason, of course, takes the fashion item. And Jason gets...

A new Wardrobe! Stylista believes in dressing for success, and now so will you! It's a nice new wardrobe makeover, and a year's subscription to Elle. Total Value of this package is $3,020.

Jason: Whoo hoo! Stylin suits and pants.
Gordon: In the first episode, everyone got a new fashion makeover
Chico: And it looks like Jason's going to get one as well.
Jason: I like my start so far.
Chico: Now you're hot.
Gordon: He can keep that - or - I can offer you a small box that says 'Opportunity Knocks' on it.
Chico: Umm... You know, why not.
Jason: I will be keeping my wardrobe.
Gordon: Chico gets the small box. I take the cupcake certificate, and Chico gets...

A Jonas Brothers Package! 2 tickets to see the Jonas Brothers in concert. You get free limo service. Oh let's not mention the $5,000 in cash that the girl gave up to get it on this show. Total Value: $5,475.00

Chico: I'll take the money...  as for the concert, I'm sure I'll find a Jonas Brothers fan somewhere.
Jason: Somewhere.
Gordon: I hear that Tiffany Pollard is available.
Jason: Or Ashley Perl.
Chico: Umm.. no thanks.
Gordon: So you both have those items. I have another small box. This one says 'World Poker Tour' on it. Either of you buying?
Jason: No way. They have no money. Keeping my clothes.
Chico: Nope. For all the reasons stated above.
Gordon: That's too bad., because either of you could have gotten...

123...shares of their stock. That would have equaled out to a cool $69. Chasco! (Brrrr...Stamp)

Jason: (high five)
Chico: Word.
Jason: They WILL be delisted. Bank on that.
Chico: Oh yeah
Gordon: So no WPT shares for you. Can I interest you instead in a curtain labeled 'Jeopardy!'
Chico: I'm game.
Jason: Me too.
Gordon: It's a...

Nice trip to Puerto Rico! That's the answer on Monday's Jeopardy that made Meredith Robbins a 4 time champ. And we'll give you some spending money. A trip worth $6,420!

Jason: I buy first round of drinks, C.
Gordon: Ironically, the only time she gets a Final Jeopardy question right...is the one time she loses.
Chico: She had the game, but she forgot about the metagame.
Gordon: If you play to not lose, you will.
Chico: That's rule #1.
Jason: You play to win, ladies and gentlemen.
Gordon: The next gift I have is a curtain labeled 'Bingo America'. Do either of you want it?
Chico: I feel like I'm going to get a Chasco if I go for it, so... no.
Jason: I have an idea...but not enough to give up my trip.
Gordon: Behind the curtain is...

A $100,000 win! But our budget isn't big enough for that, so you win instead one of the correct answers is Sudden Death - a collection of INXS Records! Total value of this Collection: $24.99. And a Chasco! (Brrr...stamp)

Jason: Yes!
Chico: Told ya.
Gordon: You're very good game players. Neither of you hit a Chasco...BUT...It's time for the Big Deal. I have 2 curtains. One of them is labeled 'The Amazing Race'. The other one is labeled 'Wheel of Fortune'. Do you want either one or are you staying with the Puerto Rico Trip?
Chico: I'll take... Amazing Race.
Jason: I will take the Wheel one...although I have a feeling what it is.
Gordon: Now Jason
Jason: Yes Sir.
Gordon: You have had...um...crappy luck when it comes to selecting these things.
Jason: At the end usually. The final deal usually trips me up.
Gordon: Do you think it changed today?
Jason: No, because I think there is a LEAKY FAUCET behind the Wheel one.
Gordon: We have here.... NOT a leaky Faucet, but a Trip to the Barbados!
Jason: Barbados?

You get the amount of what the 2 girls who didn't win $100,000 on Thursdays show won. Add the cash, and you get a total of $13,450!

Jason: YES!
Chico: Looks like you won one, J.
Jason: (happy dance)
Gordon: Hi Chico
Chico: Yyyyes Gordon.
Gordon: Wanna know what you won?
Chico: yes
Gordon: Here's what we have for Chico...

You've won ...a picture of Phil Keoghan's Dad! Complete with autograph! And you can go visit him on your trip to New Zealand! Complete with some spending money, your prize is ALSO worth $13,450! It's Gordon's birthday weekend! No one gets Chascoed...if you decided to select a curtain!

Jason: Thank you...and happy birthday, G!
Chico: *throws streamers*
Gordon: We end the happiness with the Speed Round and a break.

(Brought to you by Cloris Leachman for President. Sure she's 82, but at least she can dance up a storm and we know she's healthy. Is your candidate healthy?)

Gordon: Maybe, unlike us, who can be a little loopy in the head :)P
Jason: Whoever you support...go and vote. It's your future.
Chico: It's your voice.
Gordon: Because if you don't vote - I don't want to hear you whining.
Chico: Nope.
Jason: If you don't vote you can't b***h.
Gordon: We start the Speed Round...now. Survivor. One person from each team is going bye bye. Who leaves?
Chico: Sugar. Finally. And Dan... ummm... okay?
Jason: Sugar and Dan.
Gordon: Sugars not on Kota
Chico: Sugar's on Fang.
Jason: But Sugar yes.
Gordon: I'll go with Dan...and Crystal. Dancing With The Stars. Is Cloris leaving yet?
Jason: Nope.
Chico: One can only hope.
Jason: One more week, possibly two.
Gordon: Cloris is going to stick around. She's gaining momentum. Any more big money winners or are we waiting until November Sweeps?
Chico: Given that Sweeps start Thursday, we're going to wait.
Jason: We are going to wait.
Gordon: Waiting is good. I don't want to wait for mail though. What do we got?
Chico: We got time for a letter. Here's our next episode of The Letter with Josh Johannesen. *plays "The Letter"*

Jason: I would say even higher for 5th grader.
Gordon: Usually, they regulate the budgets. You would have to think that they expect Ken Jen to walk out with it and plan appropriately. 10%.
Chico: I think they might eke out another win. 20%. Especially with another... 18 eps in the season each, right?
Gordon: Right. Thanks Josh. I got another letter from Bobby McBride. Thanks Bobby!

Jason: He's right. Susan will pitch a fit.
Gordon: Thanks Bobby. I'm going to disagree here. Because the judges scores are weighted, they do have a factor.
Chico: I honestly don't think it'll happen...For... yeah, what Gordon said.
Gordon: I dont either. Though Susan would have to be concerned about what happened to her. I don't think Cloris is leading in the popularity polls and that will lead to her dismissal when she's up against Lance, Warren and Brooke.
Gordon: She could get past Susan and Maurice though and I could see her getting to the Final 4.
Chico: But that's where the gravy train ends.
Gordon: Bobby is right. Susan better log some high numbers up there. If the judges really wanted to get rid of Cloris, the best way to do it is to give Susan and Brooke high votes and put the more popular people at the bottom low scores, so they can outscore Cloris in the popularity voting.
Gordon: So like a finish of Brooke / Susan / Maurice / Cody / Lance / Warren / Cloris will get rid of her.
Chico: If only it were that simple.
Jason: Right.
Gordon: It is that simple. We'll see how the judges judge on Monday. We got time for one more.
Chico: Let's hear from ... Stat Boy!
Jason: Yo, Stat Boy.

Gordon: And with that, we end the email. If you want to send us email. Chico, how do they do it?
Chico: Real simple. You can either send us some mail to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com... OR check us out on the Myspace.com/wltiongsnn
Gordon: And now we have ANOTHER way to get in contact with us.
Jason: A third?
Gordon: We're on YouTube!
Chico: We are.
Gordon: What's our link?
Chico: You can check out the newly reopened Video Wall at www.youtube.com/gsnnvideowall.
Jason: Nice.
Chico: We have the $100,000 Bingo America win from this week up already.
Gordon: And on that note, we're done this week. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us.
Jason: Always fun to be with the crew.
Chico: And until next week, for everyone at GSNN, including the birthday boy...I'm Chico Alexander... game over, spread the love... and have a happy and SAFE Halloween.
Gordon: (Blows out candles)
