Episode 16.8
October 29

Gordon: Thias is Gordon Pepper and it's time to PARTY! (Brings noisemakers)
Chico: Woo!
Jason: Look at my costume...I am going as a 2nd season renewal contract for Temptation!
Gordon: You're really into the fantasy roleplaying, huh, Jason?
Chico: I see an ugly stipulation for more shopping. You should cover that up.
Jason: You mean I should use legal paper?
Gordon: More like toilet paper.
Jason: Right...I still have a few days to go back to the drawing board.
Chico: Well, in the meanwhile, we've got some tricks and treats for you because... from Somewhere in America... the All Hallows' Eve edition of WLTI... is... ON!
Gordon: I'm going as Mark Cuban's replacement hip.
Chico: And me? I'm Criss Angel's Latin half-brother... Cristobal... Angel. =p
Jason: lol
Gordon: You point that nail gun away from me right now.
Chico: Aww.... We'll get to that in a moment. In the meanwhile, we have a lot to talk about, and not a lot of time, so let's start with...Apologies in advance..."The first big hit of the new fall season."
Gordon: (boom)
Jason: what are we talking about?
Chico: Marie Osmond.
Jason: That's so wrong!
Chico: It is.
Gordon: Wrong, but appropriate :)
Chico: Hence the apologies in advance.
Gordon: Marie fall down and go boom
Chico: But the good news is that she is okay.
Jason: Yes. But Mark Cuban isn't
Chico: He's so not okay.
Gordon: And that's bad news? Not to me! Yay! (Blows Noisemakers)
Jason: Hater
Gordon: :)
Jason: He can now prep the Mavericks for another 70 win season then to falter in the playoffs.
Chico: I won't lie to you... It was time for him to go.
Gordon: it was time for him to go weeks ago.
Jason: so why did he go home this week?
Chico: You want the long version or the short?
Jason: Short
Chico: He was dead as a fish.
Jason: ah :)
Chico: For about three weeks now.
Gordon: A fish flopping on the table, and it was only time until he got gutted.
Chico: Yeah, he did his fair share of wriggling. He didn't want to go down easy.
Gordon: To make this quick: 1. No dancing skill, 2. Low marks from judges, 3. No more unknown names left for him to hide behind in popularity.
Jason: Got it.
Chico: So now that THIS problem's taken care of, the unflappable coronation of Sabrina Bryan can begin.
Gordon: Joining him at the bottom - Jane Seymour, which shows you who Marie Osmond's voters are voting for. You knew that everyone and their mom would vote for Marie, so that means that people would be voting less for another middle-aged woman - in this case, Marie fits.
Chico: You really get off on chaos theory, don't you? :-)
Gordon: I do. It....completes me.
Jason: His theory is usually right.
Chico: I didn't say anything about it being wrong, just saying that it's the most logical explanation all things considered. So now that Mark is gone, the only two guys remaining... Helio and Cameron. Racer... and soap star.
Jason: So who is left now?
Chico: We have Jane, Marie, Sabrina, Cameron...Mel B... Helio... and Jennie.
Gordon: It is. Meanwhile, Mark Cuban is finally off my TV set. Who wants some noisemakers?
Jason: I don't. I like the guy. He can't dance. But I like him
Gordon: What about magic tricks. You like magic tricks?
Jason: I love magic. Can you make David Copperfield's charges disappear?
Chico: So what did you think of NBC's newest foray into the reality arena, "Phenomenon"?
Gordon: Can I make the show disappear, daddy?
Jason: Oh boy...that bad
Chico: Gordon... as a person who goes into anything with an open mind, please tell everyone what was wrong with the execution aspect of this show.
Gordon: Well let's get to the premise first. The top 10 magicians are here to present you their tricks. Uri Geller and Criss Angel comment on their presentation and style, and America votes.
Chico: And like 8 out of every 10 reality concepts on TV today, it's based on a foreign format.
Jason: Ugh and Ugh.
Chico: I liked the tricks. Really I did. The thing that got me though was that it didn't really bring anything to the party. It was like, "Here are 10 illusionists. They do stuff. Vote for one."
Gordon: I sort of did.
Chico: Sound familiar?
Jason: America's Got Magic?
Chico: American Mentalist?
Gordon: Ding. And the hosts are not nearly as good as either Regis or Jerry.
Jason: I thought there was supposed some psychic and mentalist stuff
Chico: There are some psychic and mentalist stuff as well.
Gordon: The tricks were ok, but nothing I haven't seen before, except the nail gun trick, which I thought was cool. The other three were ok. What I didn't like was the timing. It was sooooo sloooooow.
Chico: Well get ready because the next episode is two hours of... that.
Jason: Oh boy
Gordon: ZZZZzzzzzzzzz
Chico: If you thought an hour of that was unbearable...
Gordon: The show may as well make Pat Kiernan appear and put the audience to sleep.
Chico: But other than that, time to grade. Gordon?
Gordon: The tricks were ok. The 2 main faults were the pacing/execution, which was slow (you can't take a 5 minute act and extend it to 15, sorry) and the judging, which was at best (Cris) cloying and at worst (Uri) useless.
Chico: No brutish honesty?
Gordon: Neither of them had the word 'Good' in their dictionary. It was either the best trick ever, or the worst trick ever. Does not help your credibility, since the 3 acts that didn't involve a nailgun weren't excellent.
Chico: You and your nailguns, Gordon.
Jason: its a good magic trick weapon - along with a .357 magnum with the catch the bullet trick
Gordon: It is. Not a good food additive though. I once found a nail in a brownie.
Jason: No kidding
Gordon: No kidding.
Chico: And it really sucks for automobile maintenance.
Gordon: Especially if you're a tire.
Chico: Anyway, the contestants are pretty cool. The presentation needs work. C-.
Gordon: Grades. Magicians: Decent. Judging: Bad. Execution: Awful. Grade: C-
Chico: The kids will dig it, though.
Jason: How did it do ratings wise?
Chico: Preface: this was up against game 1 of the World Series.
Gordon: When you get that sort of preface, the news is probably not going to be too good.
Chico: It was also up against Kid Nation, America's Next Top Model, and Pushing Daisies
Jason: Ok
Chico: Let's start with the good news...It beat "Kid Nation".
Gordon: That's not saying much
Jason: Agreed.
Chico: That's like saying, "Given the choice between asparagus ice cream and spinach ice cream..." But it came in THIRD. Behind Rox vs. Sox and Pushing Daisies.
Jason: Numbers?
Chico: WS1: 16.87m; Daisies: 9.45m
Gordon: In the important 18-49 demo, it scored a 5.2, which is actually pretty good. It did better than anything else on it's schedule that night, including the Bionic Woman.
Chico: Phenom: 8.35m
Jason: Not bad
Chico: BUT!....Last week, DoND has 12.41m. Draw from all of that what you will.
Gordon: For all of those about to bury DOND (and you know who you are), not so fast, my friends.
Chico: Step away from the shovel.
Jason: (drops the shovel)
Gordon: If Phenomenon can maintain those numbers, we'll be seeing it again in early 2008 when the strikes come a'calling.
Chico: Well, NBC gave it a vote of confidence by putting it on for 2 hours. This Wednesday.
Gordon: Halloweeeeen. Oooooooh.
Jason: and with no game 7 :)
Chico: Welcome to sweeps :-)
Gordon: Though how it's going to fill up 2 hours without boring us to death will be a great trick.
Chico: I'd like to see Criss Angel and Uri Geller pull THAT one off.
Gordon: Maybe they can pull off someone winning a million dollars on Deal or No Deal.
Jason: I couldn't do it.
Chico: I almost did it once. Of course, this is in the home game.
Jason: I hit the penny on the NBC game.
Gordon: I hit the million in the home version. Then again, I'm studly. So what happened on DOND?
Chico: First game of DoND (out of 2). Neal Washington... He's a butcher
Jason: Did he bring the meat?
Gordon: Or did he butcher the board?
Chico: The last big money case left in play... a million. After that, the board gets harsh: 1, 100, 300, 400, and 750.
Gordon: Ooooooh
Jason: oh boy
Chico: Next pick is.... $100.
Jason: good boy
Gordon: 1, 300, 400, 750, million
Chico: Hundred-dolla-make-you-holla.
Gordon: Offer?
Chico: $121K
Jason: And I hope he left
Chico: Neal ... turns it down.
Jason: Oh my!
Chico: Next pick of the board is... dollar!
Gordon: 300, 400, 750, million
Jason: offer?
Chico: Next offer... $236,000.
Jason: then he leaves right?
Chico: I don't know about you, but in my heart of hearts, that's walking money.
Jason: Me too
Gordon: Time to go.
Chico: And so does Neal. Deal for $236,000.
Jason: Good man! Applause.
Chico: Not so fast, J.
Jason: Oh no...
Gordon: What was in his case?
Chico: He HAD the million!
Gordon: Aieeeee!
Jason: Hold on though. That WAS NOT the perfect storm board where he could go all the way.
Chico: No. No that wasn't.
Jason: I don't fault him there.
Chico: I don't blame him one bit. I would've done the same thing. It was either a million or $400.
Jason: But if there was one more big amount...sure. On that board, you get the heck out.
Gordon: That makes how many people who had the case? 6? 7?
Chico: About that, yeah.
Gordon: You can't say this season that people haven't had their chance to win the million.
Jason: But this time, I don't blame him for dealing one bit. Not like the kilt wearing police dude from last year.
Chico: Michael Abbruzzese is next. He continues NEXT week with five of the big seven - and four cases left to pick.
Gordon: Good start so far. I find it interesting that the ratings actually went UP when there was no Million Dollar Mission
Chico: Me too... Hmm... NBC, I hope you're reading.
Jason: I think the fans like the show...for the show....:)
Chico: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. IT'S THE GAME, STUPID.
Gordon: I liked the gimmicks on the game when it didn't affect the gameplay. You don't need to resort to affecting the gameplay.
Chico: Very true.
Jason: Amen.
Gordon: But James needed to resort to a feat of superhuman strength to survive this week...and he did, thanks to Todd, who gave him ont of the two immunity idols.
Chico: So Operation Even Up the Odds Revised... didn't work.
Gordon: No, although Courtney was on the verge of pulling off the dumbest move this season.
Chico: This I have to hear.
Jason: I am listening
Chico: Did it happen to have to do with Action Bob?
Gordon: Despite the fact that they knew that Aaron was gone, despite the fact that by getting rid of one of their own, they would be even, and despite the fact that Courtney would be left with no allies, Courtney STILL tried to get rid of Jean Robert (AKA Action Bob).
Chico: And now guess who has the target on her back.
Jason: The pretty much strongest player in the game?
Chico: You better hope that a merge is coming, and that you have a lot of friends over on the other side, because I don't know about y'all... but if she was coming after me like that... I'd put moves into motion to get her... OUT.
Gordon: She has a big one. Fortunately for her tribe, cooler heads prevailed and Sherea was sent packing, but if Jean Robert knows that he and James will be gone once the other tribe is knocked out, it may be worth Jean Roberts and Jame's while to pull a switch and send their original tribe packing.
Chico: That tends to work, but only for so long (see Cesternino's Law)
Gordon: Cesterino would have won the whole thing if he survived the last immunity challenge. That's some stuff to think about. Also things to think about - how can 2 major Jeopardy Champions went bye-bye this week.
Chico: Simply put... they got outplayed. Jeopardy! is like a ballgame. You have to play 30 minutes worth.
Jason: That's it. Nothing more. You cant have one good half...
Chico: Somewhere along the line, both Shad Small and Nick Swezey dropped their game.
Jason: I played well for 149 out of 150 minutes :)
Gordon: Shad departed on Monday, with over $50,000 worth of goodies.
Chico: Nick left Thursday with over $78,000 But Nick's opponent Kevin did give us a great moment. Picture, if you will... Final Jeopardy!...The category: 16th Century Names. The answer: Paul III roared at him, "I have waited 30 years for your services. Now I'm Pope. Can't I satisfy MY desire?" Kevin's response.... "Who is Lady Godiva?"
Jason: YES!
Gordon: Whoo hoo!
Jason: LOL
Chico: It's not right... but it's damn funny.
Gordon: Very
Chico: But yeah, even with two dethroned champs, it was still a good week to be a J! geek.
Jason: There you go
Chico: We've got more champs for you in the Game Show Rewind ... now. *plays "Take Me Out"*
Gordon: (rewiiiiind)
Chico: Carly, a personal assistant, went five-and-out on Temptation, and what does she have to show for it? $4000.... in furniture.
Jason: Ugh
Gordon: I spent 5 days on a game show, and all I have is this lousy furniture set.
Chico: Quick list of everything she did right... and wrong... in the Big Board..

Chico: Topic: I Am Carly (And So Can You!)
Gordon: Carly to the Max, Dude!
Jason: Thank you Chico Colbert
Gordon: How TO and NOT TO play as a 5 Time Temptation Champion
Chico: RIGHT: Played on buzzer. She was wailing at that thing. WRONG: Spending more than $10 on a chance... a CHANCE at Instant Cash.
Gordon: How much total did she spend on Instant Cash?
Chico: She spent T$96.... on $300.
Jason: Wow...and would that have gotten her a diff prize?
Chico: Almost assuredly, especially when you take into account...WRONG: "One more time."
Gordon: Big Wrong. When you have $100+ in Super Knock off, and you are not 100% sure of an answer, you do NOT go one more time.
Chico: What happens in Super Wipe-Off (or any game for that matter) nine times out of then when you go one more time?
Jason: "Stop at a Whammy."
Gordon: Stop at a Whammy.
Chico: Stop at a Whammy.
Gordon: (Waa waaa) Hee hee hee hee hee - I cannot tell a Lie - you lose!
Chico: RIGHT: Taking a second look at a big lead going into her final IC... and not going for it. See, when that didn't happen, the game was hers.
Gordon: How much did she blow on Super Knockoff?
Chico: $400 blown. That would've gotten her the trailer on the last day. Then figure in the hundie that she spent on Instant Cash and the T$109 blowout on Friday's show... She would've won the Bangkok trip. $20K for only 800. Do the math. It's all there, black-and-white, clear as crystal.
Gordon: So instead of $20,000+, it's $4,000 for furniture and $300 on sofa covers. Bit of a difference, no?
Chico: Bit of a difference, yes.
Jason: No kidding
Chico: She's a good study of pop culture...But not a good game player. (See WLTI from a couple of weeks ago)
Gordon: True. and although Suzie was a good singer, she gets stopped in the finals in this week's Singing Bee.
Chico: Yep. Jon wrested her crown. Unfortunately, he only won $5000 in the Final Countdown! I'm going to have to do the Ray Chew line this week.. "It's the FINAL COUNT-DOOOOWN!"
Chico: Everyone sing along to the one song that Jon got right in the final round..
Jason: Ok
Jason: mi mi mi
Chico: "Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Macho macho man..." *points to panel*
Jason: I WANT TO BE A MACHO MAN
Chico: Jason's wrong.
Jason: (^_^)!
Chico: It was "I've got to be a macho man."
Jason: right.
Chico: Easy mistake to make.
Jason: That's why this is the better show :)
Chico: ... I've got to be a macho newsman. Fire up the hamsters!
Jason: Oh my goodness...look at them...they look like the Village People!
Chico: ... My god, they do.
Gordon: Is that your construction belt, Chico?
Chico: Yeah. He stole it from a Bob the Builder beanie.
Jason: lol
Gordon: Nice to see that Gordon Jr. is the cop. Jason, why is Cuckoo dressed like an Indian?
Jason: He likes the feel of the feathers
Chico: Footage! FOOTAGE!
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...First story... let's get down to business.
Jason: (hands you the black bat)
Chico: For anyone who doubts the power of Drew Carey, I have one number for you... 10%.
Jason: what's that number mean?

That is the year-to-year bump that TPIR experienced last week among the ad-friendly adults 18-49.

Jason: That's the big story. The audience went younger.
Chico: It gets better. You compare this week to the 35th Season Premiere Week... the number goes to 22 percent.
Jason: That's big.
Jason: Les, Syd and Roger are popping the bottles.
Chico: As well they should be.
Jason: And Drew should relax...they like him...they really like him.
Chico: Drew's been doing a great job. This bump is very much deserved.
Gordon: He's been doing a very good job, and the change of pace with him doing color commentary is hysterical.
Jason: I like the bits where he comments on the accessory prizes that come with the prizes.
Chico: Not going to say that it's TPIR the way God intended it to be, but he made the show fun again.
Gordon: It's turned from just seeing the games to seeing the games and hearing what Drew is going to do next, which adds a bit of 'Must See' value to the show.
Jason: The show has---an edge! Holy smoke
Gordon: The fact that you're getting $500 for each item right in half/off, btw - good move.
Chico: Very good. Next up...I hear tell we have a date for Raceday.
Gordon: We do - at Viva Laughlin's expense
Jason: Not a surprise.
Chico: Waa waaaaaa.

We now know why we didn't see The Amazing Race on the schedule - it was being used as replacement material for the first new show that tanked. Said show - Viva Laughlin, which leaves after 2 episodes. The Amazing Race shows up in it's spot - November 4th.

Jason: And gets plugged in real quick
Chico: That's this Sunday, isn't it?
Jason: Yes it is.
Gordon: It is indeed. Now a note to all of you game fans who love the show. If you want it to keep showing up on the air, WATCH THIS SEASON!
Jason: Yes,
Chico: You keep watching... the show keeps ... showing. The Simpsons will still be there in the morning. You watch the Amazing Race, damn it.
Jason: Yes - watch now.
Gordon: And then when you watch the episodes on your iPod, you can be fully loaded
Chico: Or at CBS Innertube. Don't forget that.
Jason: Hic.
Chico: BTW, you can watch FULL episodes of The Price is Right on CBS Innertube every weeknight at 6p/5p CT. Thanks, Internet!
Jason: Very Very cool.
Chico: This week, it's games... as games. Imagine being in Hell's Kitchen... on your PC.
Jason: Is it rated M?

The multi-year, worldwide agreement, which will see the firm develop the title on Wii, DS and PC for the UK market, will be fronted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay as he heads up the kitchen with his trademark style.

Chico: It will be released over yonder next Summer... No word on a North American release yet. But if I had to put the money that I don't have on it, I'd guess that it would coincide with the next season.
Jason: I would think.
Gordon: I would agree. Strike while the iron is hot. This is the hottest that Ramsay has been.
Chico: Oh (^_^)ing yeah.
Jason: lol
Gordon: But now we go from hot...to cold. Figuratively and literally.
Chico: Haterade?
Gordon: I got some ice cold Haterade. Want some?
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Got it
Chico: I need to restore my electrolyte balance. And my brainpower. So who are we supposedly smarter than this week?

Are you smarter than....the first contestant (name withheld so they aren't embarrassed in 2 different countries) on Are You Smarter than a Canadian 5th Grader?

Jason: What happened?
Chico: Here the question, hot from Mr. Vickers.
Gordon: Thanks to Ryan for the assist

Grade 1 Math: Nathan and his four friends are going skating on the Rideau canal. How many ice skates will they need all together?

Gordon: Your answer, Mr. Block?
Jason: 10
Chico: 10.
Gordon: You are both...correct.
Chico: A thousand loonies, baby! :-)
Gordon: The contestant said....8.
Jason: He forgot Nathan.
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: First question of the first show - and answered incorrectly...But was he saved?
Chico: He was saved. He goes on to drop out with $175,000.
Gordon: Nice rebound
Chico: Almost $182,000... Tax free. Not bad for some humiliation, right?
Gordon: Not bad at all. Now for this week's Haterade...

The Writer's Guild has decided to stop going after Temptation, after realizing they aren't going to make much (if any) headway there and not wanting to waste its stockpile on the looming strike.

Chico: Nice to know they recognize a lost cause. And Temptation is as lost as it gets!
Gordon: This Haterade glass is pretty deep. They have a vote this past Friday on whether or not to strike. the amount wanting to strike...over 90%.
Chico: So it looks pretty much like a done deal.
Jason: That amounts to one big slap to the face of the studios. However, in this week's Entertainment Weekly, EW says the big three has enough scripts to make it to February, and that the strike may not mean much.
Chico: Which means that hit shows (and even mediocre ones... I'm talking at you, Bionic Woman) will stick around for a while. At least until February.
Gordon: That's where they are wrong. The Guild may correlate the strike to go with the Actor's strike coming up in 2008.
Jason: Actor's Strike?
Gordon: The writers are looking at the long haul here, and I think they are looking for this to last a long while. 15 million in the coffers says so.
Jason: First I have heard.
Gordon: It's not on the radar yet
Chico: Insider information? =p
Gordon: Actually, not that much insider. Big Board please? Its being dubbed the 2008 Hollywood Strike, and here's the info, straight from Wikipedia.
Chico: Trusted source, that Wikipedia =p
Gordon: Well, in this case, this is pretty accurate:

Chico: Yikes. Hollywood would have to either shut down or look for home-brewed talent elsewhere... talent whose works are... actually good.
Gordon: As we were the first game show site to talk about the writer's strike, we're the first group to talk about the 2008 Strike. There's a reason why everyone is scouring MySpace, You Tube, Etc. for talent. They have already seen this coming and are looking to prepare for it.
Jason: This could be big for a bit
Chico: Could be. I guess it's time for us to break out the camcorders and take this show live... again.
Gordon: And I don't know this for a fact, but don't be surprised if the other 2 biggies float money down the WGAW's way to make their strike last until June of 2008 - just to give Hollywood a taste of what may be coming their way if they don't listen now. And like the WGAW potential strike, we will be covering this VERY big story.
Chico: That we will. If all of this comes to a head, we could be going global BIG TIME. That, for the next big game show, anyway. But right now, let's go to Canada, eh?
Jason: Lets go

The next big thing for our friends up north is GamerTV... Yes, they're getting their own GSN/Challenge network.

Gordon: Yay!
Jason: Awesome! About time.
Chico: Among the offerings: Test Pattern, the Last Word, The Mad Dash, Love Me, Love Me not, and Acting Crazy.
Gordon: That's MUCH better than GSN's lineup
Jason: No kidding.
Chico: Also on the net: Last Comic Standing, Dog Eat Dog, America's Next Producer, The Rebel Billionaire, Beg Borrow & Deal, The Mole, and Supermarket Sweep.
Jason: And there's the negative balance :) Minus Sweep of course.
Chico: THe Mole is not NEGATIVE!
Gordon: I was going to say. The Mole isnt negative - unless its Celebrity Mole 2.
Chico: The Mole owns you for free!
Jason: lol
Gordon: But at least it's variety, and not the 35th airing of the same episode of Millionaire.
Chico: Yeah. I'm still waiting for the day when GSN plays Deal or No Deal... from the beginning. They have enough shows now for... 15 weeks. Because GSN loves to play that (^_^).
Gordon: DOND will show up
Chico: That's gonna be a Higher-Lower question next week. Just watch.
Jason: ok
Chico: Okay, out with the globe, in with the couch. Actually, let's keep the globe for a bit.
Jason: (drops the couch)
Chico: Ow!
Gordon: Ooooh, that's gotta hurt.
Chico: I didn't say drop the couch!
Jason: I have a bad back, you know
Chico: It's the globe... ON the couch!
Jason: Oh! (brings the couch with the globe on it)
Gordon: Bad Jason
Chico: Sigh...

NZ is casting for their own version of The Singing Bee (http://www.nzrealitytv.com/2007/10/singing-bee-comes-to-nz.html), while the UK is casting season 9 of Big Brother. Interestingly enough... so is CBS!

Chico: Here's the link if you're interested.

http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1786

Chico: If you'd rather go looking for love in all the wrong places, then perhaps the Bachelor is more your speed. They're looking for would-bes in Scottsdale. And Boston. And Los Angeles.

http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1785
http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1793

Chico: One more call, and it's for Beauties and Geeks... and Geeky Beauties... and Beautiful Geeks.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tfr/457414178.html

Gordon: And now for the hoes...
Chico: *plays "Pimpin' All Over the World"*

Jerry Springer will be doing the UK's Nothing But The Truth, Vanna creates a business from yarn, Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford will be hosting 'Make Me a Supermodel', Tony Tackaberry is the new US CEO for Lion Television (Cash Cab)...

Jason: Which got a new order btw...
Chico: Amazing what one hit show can do for your career. (See Scott St. John)

The Schwab will be stumping people to fight Multiple Sclerosis, Katharine McPhee and Nick Cosckas talk marriage as does Lacey Schwimmer and Hok Konishi and Heidi Klum and Seal may sing in a TV duet.

Chico: ANYTHING BUT THAT!
Gordon: But none of them are your hoes of the week.
Chico: Then who?
Gordon: We have Co-Hoes
Jason: Yes who
Gordon: The first one is Sarah Welch, who you would know from Chico's Faaaaavorite show, The Bachelor 7
Chico: Ugh.
Jason: what did she do?
Gordon: During a runway shoot, Sarah falls in a hole in the runway. The video has been seen all over the place, including Best Week Ever.
Jason: That was her?
Gordon: That was her.
Jason: Holy cow.
Chico: JUSTICE!
Gordon: The other ones - Ant and Dec, who were there for the right - and wrong - reasons.
Jason: ok
Gordon: The right - they will be hosting Wanna Bet, soon to come to ABC, pending on strikes. The wrong - they are EP's of a show in the UK that has been rocked by the phone-in scandals.
Jason: That's never good
Chico: Nope.
Jason: Now I get schaudenfreude over this. I love seeing these greedy idiots hoisted by their own petard.
Chico: And you think I'm horrible. =p
Jason: True.
Gordon: And those...are your hoes.
Chico: Okay, guide 'er down, Gordon. We're done. More JUSTICE! with We the Jury and Excessories in a bit, but now for YLTI. Last week, exactly HALF of you thought that the year of Ken Jennings was a very good year. A quarter... 2006 with Deal or No Deal getting a permanent slot. This week's question.

Chico: Results in 168 hours. We the Jury is next. This is WLTI. Like Top Gear... only not as British.
Jason: That's a great show, mind you.
Chico: I love it. I think of myself as Hammond, Gordon as Jeremy, and you as... that other guy.
Jason: ha.
