Episode 16.9
November 5

Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, saying that Daylight Savings Time is over, but the sweeps have just begun.
Chico: Today... nothing happened.
Jason: Yet.
Chico: Just a double showcase win, a million dollar question, a five-time J! champ, and someone getting the shaft at Tribal council.
Gordon: Not to mention a writers strike primed to happen, and it's business as usual around here, right?
Chico: Oh, and the start of sweeps coinciding with a writers' strike, but other than that... nothing.
Gordon: Yawwwn.
Jason: Bor-ing.
Gordon: Ho hum.
Jason: (reads newspaper)
Chico: Oh, come on!
Jason: You mean we have break it down to the peeps?
Chico: Uhhh...yeah.
Gordon: Let's do this. From somewhere in the Writer's Guild of America's War Room, this edition of WLTI...is...on!
Jason: Whoo-HOO!
Chico: What's good. It's Chico with Gordon... and Jason..
Gordon: TONS of stuff to do today, and we can be happy that we have an extra hour to do it.
Jason: Yo. This has been the most eventful week in a bit.
Chico: Okay, so let's kick things off with, so far as game shows are concerned... Hallowed ground.
Gordon: Something we haven't seen in a while - a Million Dollar Question on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire.
Jason: How long has it been?
Chico: How long was Ogi on? At least a year.
Gordon: The last time we have seen it was Ogi Ogas. The only two times it has been answered correctly in syndication was Nancy Christy and Kevin Smith.
Chico: But check it out, Lyn Payne becomes the first woman since Nancy Christy to take a look at the Million Dollar Question. Let's take a look at said question...

Khrushchev's famous 1960 "shoe-banging" outburst at the U.N. was in response to a delegate from what nation?
A: Australia
B: The Netherlands
C: The Philippines
D: Turkey

Jason: I read the recap so I will pass.
Gordon: I saw the show, so I'm passing.
Chico: Lyn decides to use her final lifeline, the ATA. The numbers there (Thanks, Don, wherever you are...)

A: 8% B: 29% C: 15% D: 48%

Chico: But Lyn says it's too big of a risk to put in the hands of the audience.... She walks with $500,000. Great way to kick off November on Millionaire. The correct answer, by the way, was... C.
Jason: The Philippines huh?
Chico: Yep. Nikita banged his shoes for our Filipino friends. But one of the great moments of 2007.
Gordon: if she guessed at it, she would have been wrong. It's a nice way to kick off sweeps. You knew she had the references to go far in this show.
Chico: Oh yeah.
Gordon: #1. She was a Jeopardy champion. #2. She used, as her Lifeline - Leszek Pawlowicz
Chico: One of the Grand Slam 16.
Jason: There you go.
Chico: I would've been absolutely floored if she didn't get to at least $250,000.
Jason: She is a lock for Player of the Year nods in 2008
Gordon: I would think so. This is looking like a great year for game shows. This is not looking good, however, if you're a Paul Glaser fan.
Chico: Good news for Kyle Brittain fans, as he one-ups the champ.
Jason: But he is a huge 5 time champ.
Chico: Oh yeah. Wanna play Final Jeopardy!?
Jason: Sure.
Gordon: We have a collection of Final Jeopardy's to get to. Lets see the one that cost Paul his championship first
Chico: The category is Poets...

The clue: one of her poems says, "I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tired to die and get, back, back, back to you."

Jason: I know the answer...so I will pass.
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: What is Danny Bonaduce's Career?
Chico: Close :-)
Gordon: Awww
Chico: The correct response... Who was Sylvia Plath.
Jason: Yup.
Chico: Although it could describe Danny Bonaduce's career.
Gordon: Paul Glaser was trailing in that match to Brittain, who wrapped it up with the right answer.
Jason: But he was a damn good player.
Gordon: Glaser goes away with $120,000 and change, and could also get a player of the year nomination. HOWEVER, he lost $36,000 on this question, which was, ironically, delivered to him on a ghoulish Halloween episode.
Jason: lol
Chico: Fire away, Mr. Pepper.
Gordon: Setting the stage. It's Final Jeopardy. Glaser has $18,800. One contestant has $200 and the other one finished in the negative, and is eliminated from Final Jeopardy play.
Chico: Category is "Animals".. The clue...

Between Oct. 25 & Nov. 1, the Los Angeles SPCA, like many other shelters, banned adoption of these.

Jason: I knew this one...this was WAY TOO EASY. Since I owned two of them.
Chico: I had one a long time ago. This was a gimme. Especially if you consider the air date.
Jason: Correct.
Gordon: The answer was 'Black Cat'. Glaser only put down 'Cat', and does not get credit for his answer.
Chico: Wah waaaaah.
Gordon: The wager - $18,000.
Jason: (THUD)
Chico: Yeah, I'd make the same move... wouldn't put the same answer that he did, but oh well =p
Gordon: Glaser does survive, but he takes only $800 with him instead of $36,800. Still, the $120,000+ for 5 days easily makes him the Top Seed in the Tournament of champions. How far does he go?
Jason: He goes pretty far.
Chico: He'll get into the semi, but he'll have to work there to avoid an underdog.
Gordon: I like his chances. He has the penchant to bet big, which is an aspect that you need in order to do well.
Chico: Especially in the early rounds. And the news gets even better. Next week begins the annual Tournament of Champions... Paul Glaser... he's playing!
Jason: I happen to have the names of who is in if you want.
Chico: Just for my edification, who's in?
Gordon: Lets have the names - and a Big board, please

Gordon: The Subject - The 2007 Jeopardy Tournament of Champions. The names, please?
Jason: Mehrun Etebari, Andrew Rostan, Paul Glaser, Cathy Lanctot, Craig Westphal, Steve Unite, Jeff Spoeri, Celeste DiNucci, Christian Haines, Cliff Galiher, Chris Mazurek, Sara Terrell, Susan Mitchell, Doug Hicton, Nick Swezey
Chico: I recognize 12 of the 15... 11 big champs, and the college winner Cliff.
Jason: who do you not recognize?
Chico: Sara, Chris, and Susan
Jason: Sara: Season 23 4-time champion: $71,799 + $1,000. From J-Archive.com. Chris: Season 23 4-time champion: $76,597 + $2,000.
Gordon: it may lack any big names but It's a very nice field, between Glaser, Westphal and Haines
Chico: Don't count the college guy out. Never count out the college guy.
Jason: Never count out the College Guy. Susan Mitchell was a Season 23 4-time champion: $67,100 + $1,000. Glaser will be the freshest, but you never know. They are going after $250,000 and the title of best of the best :-)
Chico: The best tournaments are the ones that are completely wide open. So this oughta be fun.
Jason: You bet.
Gordon: Speaking of Halloween, lets get to some other treats - like the Price is Right Halloween episode.
Chico: Oh yeah, that was a great treat right there. Just shows you that TPIR was taken to the next level with Drew Carey on board.
Jason: I am telling you this was FUN!
Gordon: I think that between the models being dressed up as witches and zombies, one walking around and acting like there was an axe buried in her skull, and a gift presented of a bed and a body in it, it's safe to say that you would NEVER see this sort of show during the Bob Barker era.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: Nope. Sounds a little too out there for him.
Gordon: Not to mention Roger Dobkowitz getting involved during a skit during the Showcases.
Chico: Nothing against him, really, but this was pretty much to the extreme here.
Jason: He was the garlic throwing chef
Chico: Props to the Dob on that one.
Gordon: I personally loved it. It injected a personality and edginess to the show that we haven't seen in decades.
Jason: This was my one of my favorite moments in ALL of game shows this year.
Chico: Oh yeah. The best moments are the ones you don't see coming (take a hint DOND producers). Like when Drew came out with the teeth and said in no uncertain terms... My mouth's too big for these.
Jason: He is honest to a fault. And I loved that. And when he said Rich's accent was "bad Italian Vampire." Priceless.
Gordon: I know there was some grumbling when Syd Vinnedge was named the new Executive Producer of the show. Is there any grumbling now?
Chico: If there was, I sure as heck haven't heard it.
Jason: I am having crow with hash this morning. I grumbled. And I was Wrong. In a big way.
Chico: I want to go to work on Tuesday and ask Janice... "So Janice, have you seen TPIR lately? Wanna take back all the smack you've been talking?" Then she'd smack me.
Jason: People have talked smack.
Gordon: She'd introduce you to a new car - face first.
Jason: and to all those people...they are wrong.
Chico: But speaking of treats and TPIR... we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Thursday's show... So let's say you were at the Showcase, and you had to bid on Family Guy pinball, a pool table & "Bowlarama" game, and a cruise of the Bahamas. Whatamibid, whatamibid...
Jason: Again, I read so I know! I should be more ignorant :-)
Chico: ... You read a lot, J. Gordon?
Gordon: 16,069.
Chico: You'd be under. But Letia was right there... She bid $21,500. Actual price... $21,578!
Jason: DSW! BOOM
Gordon: YAY!
Jason: what was in the other showcase?
Chico: Off by 78 means that Letia Clouston wins THAT... AND dishwasher, a wine cabinet, a laptop, and a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Gordon: NICE!
Chico: Her total: $47,438.
Jason: Hello, Car. And a lot of stuff. Taxes.
Chico: Including $3.51 she won at Any Number.
Jason: That too.
Gordon: I don't think thats going to cover the taxes.
Chico: No, but still a nice treat indeed.
Gordon: That's a nice treat. For tricks however, lets chat with Sabrina Ryan
Jason: Sabrina Bryan who got hosed this week.
Chico: Once again, a horse we had to win the whole thing gets sent to the glue factory. And we have to wonder what show America was looking at.
Gordon: I Know! I Know!
Jason: Which one?
Gordon: They mistook Dancing With the Stars for Queen for a Day :P
Jason: That could do it.
Chico: I could see that. What with Jane Seymour and Marie Osmond getting free passes over this "cursed season".
Gordon: Queen for a Day, for those people who don't know what it was, was a competition to give someone the title out of the most heart-warming sob story.
Jason: Which was around in the 1950's and 1960's.
Chico: And revived for a one-off in 2004.
Jason: With Mo'nique if I remember right.
Chico: Right.
Gordon: So we have Marie, who fainted. We have Jane, who's had fire and personal issues. While everyone is voting for them, they seem to overlook the fact that there are performers who actually have talent.
Chico: Sabrina, of course, being one of them.
Jason: No kidding. So, let's award the title in a Marie-Jane final shall we. I dare you, America. I double dog dare you.
Chico: "I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!!!" When did this become a Christmas story? =p
Jason: lol
Chico: Which proves the point that this sort of thing, even for the structure given... is nothing more than a popularity contest.
Gordon: Uh....duh. It wont be Marie Vs. Jane. In fact, now that the Chaos Theory hit it's mark, this is usually the week that America rebounds and boots the person who caused this problem.
Jason: Which would be....?
Gordon: So I expect Marie or Jane to go bye-bye. I think that Jane will have a little more pull and we'll be out an Osmond.
Chico: Why not. I'd go for that. Less teeth to watch every week.
Jason: So would I.
Gordon: Also keep in mind that Sabrina did not have the high score last week.
Chico: No, I believe that would be Mel B. With the perfect 30.
Gordon: So that set her up to be upset. Everyone thought that she was safe and people did not vote for her, which put her in an even more difficult position.
Chico: Which means that she has an uphill battle to try and top that.
Gordon: True, but she has a fan base, which will be stronger because I sense that Sabrina's fan base will go to Mel B.
Jason: Yup.
Gordon: Continuing with the tricks - Jaime was tricked into thinking that she had an immunity idol. She doesn't - she has a useless piece of wood and she gets bounced out of Survivor.
Jason: (snicker) No kidding?
Chico: And to drive the point home... Jeff takes the useless piece of wood and tosses it into the kindling.
Gordon: Meanwhile, James now has BOTH immunity idols.
Gordon: And the strongest player in the game physically now is the strongest player in the game politically...as long as he doesn't screw it up.
Jason: Can he use two?
Gordon: He sure can.
Jason: So he can survive TWO vote outs?
Gordon: Right
Jason: That's major power.
Gordon: Or he can use them to give to other people and maybe redirect a vote-out...such as sneaking one to Jean-Robert.
Chico: I wouldn't put it past him to do that.
Gordon: That would be a great strategy to uproot an alliance. We'll see if he's smart enough to do it during the series.
Jason: That would be sneaky and be really good play.
Gordon: Also sneaky - the changing of the play in Crosswords.
Jason: oh?
Chico: Yeah. The game itself doesn't change, but the structure does.. Big board 2, please.

Chico: This one's titled Crossing Over... 1) The Getaways are gone in favor of two more Extras, one in round 2 and one in round 3.
Jason: that is good
Chico: 2) Bet limit on said Extras is raised to $2000 in round 3 (that's the "bet-up-to" limit for people who don't have that much). 3) The final round is played for a trip, an Xbox 360, and a cool $5000.
Chico: So it seems that Crosswords is throwing some pretty fat stacks around for a change.
Jason: Could this be a sweeps thing or a permanent thing?
Chico: Well, there's nothing really saying that this is a sweeps stunt. Except, of course, for the fact that said play structure began on November 1, the first day of sweeps.
Gordon: I would think permanent. The producers of Crosswords have seen the ratings and have heard the complaints. If it went back to trips and limited cash after sweeps, then the ratings will drop. And at a 1.0, they can not afford the ratings to drop.
Jason: right
Gordon: I think it's holding on to a renewal by a thread, and only because everything else that has aired in syndication has been mediocre at best.  If they offer that and pull it back, they are done.
Chico: Something that was said in Quiz Show.... Holds true today... "People don't watch for the mental combat. They watch for the money."
Jason: wow :-)
Chico: It's in the movie, watch it.
Gordon: I think they watch for both. But I also think that in this sort of show, where the gameplay has many flaws, the money is almost vital.
Chico: Have a letter that addresses that from our friend Eddie Timanus if I may whip it out.
Gordon: Whip it out. As you know, we love it when we get an Eddie Timanus email.
Chico: Okay, here's what Eddie has to say.
Gordon: He's one of the only people who gets front page email coverage.

Chico: Thanks, Eddie.
Gordon: I agree with Eddie. I've already on this show said 2 things that Eddie has said - change the status of the Spoilers and make them answer 2 clues before getting to the podium
Chico: Well, like we said before, it's hanging by a thread. The show never broke a 1.0. But in this day and age, what a 1.0.
Gordon: They have also improved the writing (although we still see some annoying clues with more than 1 answer).
Chico: But not that much. But as you can see, the result after two months is a lot cleaner. A lot more streamlined. Everyone knows what they're doing. This show, and I believed this from day one, was going to get better, and it has. Now it has to find that audience. Otherwise, it's going to be one of those fringe shows that will score a renewal only because it's cheap to produce.
Gordon: However, if what we think may happen starting on Monday, then Crossword will get a renewal.
Jason: As well as a lot of other shows that are cheap
Gordon: Why? Because on Monday, the Writer's Guild of America is supposed to be helming a strike, which, according to one source, is predicted to be 'real bad'.
Chico: Extending the Business end, are we? Gooood... let it flow through you =p
Gordon: We'll get to that as we start BrainVis....what's the Chairman hamster doing with a bat?
Chico: He was a Rockies fan.
Jason: Oh boy
Gordon: (Points the hamster towards Boston). Go get 'em. Chairman!
Chico: Wow. Look at him go!
Jason: Damn, he looks angry
Gordon: Maybe he can score more hits than the Rockies could.
Chico: Okay, Gordon, make news go now.
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. As stated before, we start with a special report in the Business End... Monday.
Jason: (BREAKING NEWS)

The WGA has set Monday for the beginning of the big strike barring any events this weekend.

Gordon: According to my sources, if it's not settled by this week, it will not be settled for a while.
Jason: The big dispute...royalties from Internet and DVD sales.
Chico: The AMPTP tried for an 11th-hour deal to settle such things, but to no avail, so the WGA is giving them one final weekend before the bottom falls out.
Gordon: Said royalties could be worth millions - or billions - of dollars to the industry.
Jason: And yes, this could be a long one.
Chico: So what does this mean for you, the discerning game show fan? In a word... more.
Gordon: It means that you may be seeing a lot more of them, because most game shows will NOT be affected at all by the strike. Hence this being a reason why Crosswords, despite a 1.0, may see another season.
Jason: So that's why we have seen a lot of casting notices lately too
Chico: Oh yeah. We may have a lot of low-performing shows (Singing Bee and Biggest Loser) stick around for a while. And of course, we'll have a lot of pickups for primetime. Duel being among them.
Gordon: Well, maybe not Singing Bee as much.
Chico: Oh yeah, see, that show is in hiatus for sweeps. I've always said that was more of a summertime show. Unless I haven't said it and I just forgot now.
Jason: We might see a lot of "summertime" shows coming in with the strike in place.
Gordon: Last Comic Standing anyone? America's Got Talent, anyone?
Chico: But primetime won't be affected apparently until later in the season.
Gordon: Right, but the episodes end in February - right in time for February sweeps
Chico: Get ready for rerun padding.
Jason: Yup.
Chico: Just so they can get through May.
Gordon: And expect a lot of it in December and January, where they can use the excuse of 'low ratings during the holidays'.
Chico: And the kicker is... they're right. I mean, what was the highest rated show two Christmas's ago?
Gordon: Oh this little thing called Deal or No Deal. I wonder what happened to that show. Oh yeah, the networks are always right.
Chico: Even when they're wrong. Sick ain't it?
Jason: Crazy. But we will be on this big time.
Gordon: I've got some Haterade to make you feel better
Chico: Serve it up, G.
Gordon: Are you smarter than...

Jim Callohan, who not only puts up a ridiculous act on spirit clairvoyance which was real easy to figure out, but also annoyed Criss Angel, who posted up an envelope and challenged him to identify what's in it for a million dollars.

Jason: And Also upset Uri Geller in the process.
Chico: Those two really get upset easily.
Gordon: I have been asked if I thought it was live or rehearsed. I think that Criss was waiting for the first 'bad' act to pull it out and try to defraud them. You don't just create an envelope in your pocket and offer a million dollars to identify what's in it if you aren't planning to use it.
Chico: So to answer your own question...
Gordon: It was a prop he was waiting to use, and he didn't care who he used it on. I HATE that kind of pre-planning, trying to articially create drama instead of letting it play out.
Jason: And the people will call you on it.
Gordon: and they have, which leads to this Haterade. Mr. Chairman, if you will assist with the ratings for Phenomenon, please?
Chico: I'd be pleased as punch. This week, the show came in third in both of it's slots.
Gordon: What are the numbers?
Chico: GETTING THERE.. Geez, you're as pushy as me. =p

At 8p, it scored 5.95 million viewers against 8.58m for Pushing Daisies and 6.89m for Kid Nation.

Jason: ouch
Gordon: Losing to Kid Nation = Bad.

At 9p, it scored 6.18m to Criminal Minds (which I'm usually watching) with 14.69m and Private Practice with 11.23m. Thanks to Mediaweek's Marc Berman for that info.

Jason: (double knockout)
Gordon: While we're serving it out...

We also serve it out to the Singing Bee, which will be yanked during November Sweeps for 2 hour episodes of The Biggest Loser.

Jason: Oh boy.
Chico: Come on, guys... The One is beginning to look good by comparison.
Jason: Hold your horses, Chico. Be cool. :-)
Chico: Aww...
Gordon: Now you could say that they are saving the episodes for the strike, but the reality is that the ratings for The Singing Bee have been taking a steady nose dive.
Jason: No show has been a huge hit this year.
Chico: Yup. And yup. But apparently a big hit heads online as we get fully loaded.
Jason: Hic.
Chico: Well, I don't know how big a hit "That's the Question" is, but hear me out anyway.
Jason: Ok. I am listening

GSN has released a new online minigame version of TTQ that plays like its TV counterpart.

Jason: Nice.
Gordon: I've played it. Its pretty good.
Chico: It's a good game to link to your myspaces or your blogs, but it tends to get repetitive after three times. I can't count how many questions I was asked TWICE that I knew the answer to.
Jason: Not a big question base.
Chico: Not for knowledge, but for having played the game through. Still, a pretty good addition to GSN's growing online repertoire. And it shows that the network believes in the franchise. Could we see a third season? Too early to say. We're barely two-thirds of the way into season 2.
Gordon: It's a very cheap show to produce. So why not another season?
Chico: Why not. You gave Lingo six. Come on.
Gordon: Any idea on the ratings?
Chico: No idea. While we're on the subject of games on the web... TPIR has something up, don't they, J?
Jason: Yeah.  Fremantle has put out the first official TPIR Site at http://www.priceisright.com
Jason: Very cool with behind the scenes stuff. Even our buddy Scott gets a video.
Chico: So there you have it. Two must-visit game show sites.
Jason: The models, ticket info, stuff on drew, classic videos too. Very well done page.
Gordon: Very cool.  We have past, present and future dates this week in the Datebook
Chico: Let's hear it.

First of all, a shout out to Ben Ziek and Tim 'Loogaroo' Connolly, who competed in this week's Crosswords Episodes.

Jason: Whoo-hoo!
Gordon: Who wants a date with $100,000-$500,000 pots?
Jason: I do! All in!
Chico: ME!

This Monday is not only the potential strike date, but it's also the start of a special run of High Stakes Poker, where the pots will be starting out big - $500,000 big.

Jason: Damn! That's big.
Chico: Pretty big.
Gordon: Huuuuuuuuge
Chico: And the future?

Friday November 23 is the Viewers Choice Marathon on GSN. What shows do you want? You decide by going to gsn.com and voting.

Gordon: You have a choice of 50 games to select.
Chico: The first time in four years that we had a Viewer's Choice.
Jason: Should be fun :-)
Chico: And I know the viewers. Expect a blend of new favorites and classics.
Gordon: Thankfully, Fake-A-Date and Greek Games are NOT 2 of the choices.
Jason: What about Burt Luddin's Love Buffet?
Chico: No.
Jason: How about the Best of Playmania?
Chico: How about no.
Gordon: Throut and Neck?
Chico: Don't make me come over there.
Jason: lol
Gordon: Awwww. What about making me come with you on a journey around the world?
Chico: ... Yeah, let's do that. This week, we're heading over to the UK for a big birthday.

Congratulations to Countdown for 25 years of letter-numbery.

Gordon: Yay!
Jason: The best UK GameShow of all time, in My opinion.
Chico: Carol Vorderman, the show's math expert and certified game show hottie, celebrated by wearing the same pants she wore on show #1 back in 1982.
Jason: And they fit? Awesome.
Chico: Oh yeah. Very.
Jason: Just a personal thing. This week, Wheel starts three weeks of shows from New York City.
Gordon: Yay!
Jason: They taped them at the end of last month.
Chico: This week isn't the celeb week, though. Is it?
Jason: Nope. Next week is...this is Best Friends Week.
Gordon: Can media hoes be best friends?
Jason: Ask Paris and Nicole.
Chico: We start as always with the Couch.
Gordon: Are you parents with teen-20 something kids and are dying to be on MTV?
Chico: No, and no.
Jason: No and No...but some readers are :-)

Parental Control is going for another season, and they want YOU to be a part of it.

Chico: I betcha our friend Philip's going to show up for that.
Jason: He should. lol
Gordon: I bet he will. Finally...oh Chico, you will LOVE this.
Chico: Oh No...
Gordon: Would you like to pawn off your body to one of 25 gorgeous women and actress wanna-bes?
Chico: Not the Bachelor... NOT THE BACHELOR...
Gordon: Oh YES! The Bachelor OPEN CASTING CALLS!
Chico: ACK! *runs into wall* ... I'm okay.
Gordon: Now what did the wall do to you?
Chico: It looked at me funny =p Anyway, Bachelor calls...

Anyways, if you want to make Chico vomit (which is sometimes fun), go here - http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1823?PHPSESSID=4217ed92c527dbb878b65dbdff86dc84

Chico: Oh... I got your vomit, G. A Shot at Love 2...
Gordon: (Grabs the Fear Factor barf Bucket)

Already casting here. http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1799 or http://www.myspace.com/AShotatLove

Gordon: Bleeeaaaaagggh (Empties out bucket)
Jason: I need some dramamine.
Gordon: I bet that Tila doesn't actually doesn't find love in the first series, huh?
Jason: You think?
Chico: And finally, good news bad news.

Deal or No Deal is looking for players... here... http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1801

Chico: The bad news... they're looking for fun! Energetic! Charismatic!... oh yeah, and you have to be aged 18-35.
Jason: 18-35. I am going to be 40 in February. What the heck? (runs into wall) I'm OK.
Chico: We're going to need another wall after this.
Gordon: I represent Dewey, Cheatham and Howe, and I will sue both of you both for intentional wall damage.
Chico: Translation: we're not looking for a good player, just a good TV presence. So you go try out, you have to sell it, sell it, sell it. May want to take a couple of Red Bulls into the audition, just in case.
Jason: Or Amp. That's some good stuff.
Chico: And if you don't develop a major case of palpitations, let us know how it turns out.
Jason: Seriously, I hope you guys go for it and get on. Win that Mill.
Gordon: And now for the Hoes of the week...
Chico: *plays "Pimpin"

In this week's Hodometer, Howie Mandel wins a Gemini (Canadian Emmy), Maggie the Elephant moves to a new home thanks to Bob Barker, Tyra Banks signs a new deal with Warner Brothers, Pat Sajak invests in Whyville, Ant and Dec win TV awards, Mike Boogie gets arrested (oops)...

Chico: Again, daddy?
Jason: Again.

Dennis Miller is the host of Amne$ia, Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum talk about Project Runway 4, Carrie Underwood's 'Carnival Ride' debuts at #1... And charges against Kristy Swanson are dropped.

Jason: 2nd #1 album for Carrie.
Chico: If I can add to the dates... Runway 4: November 14.
Jason: The tag line: "Sew and Tell"
Gordon: But those are not your Hoes of the week.
Chico: Plural. We love plural.
Jason: Yes we do.
Gordon: Your hoes are...Ellen Degeneres, Angela Kinsey, Brian Baumgartner and Oscar Nunez
Jason: Ok...I know one.
Gordon: The 4 of them will be all be part of Deal Or No Deal's November Sweeps. Ellen will be the first celebrity Dead or No Deal Suitcase Model
Jason: Right Right
Chico: Ellen's the only model. The other three will be assisting in their "Office" personas.
Gordon: We have had celebrities as fans, and even as players (see Winfrey, Oprah), but this will be the first time we have one modeling the suitcases or others play characters.
Chico: Cool
Gordon: And those...are your hoes.
Chico: And that's BrainVision. Shut it Down.
Gordon (BOOOOOoooooop)
Chico: Okay, more stuff in a moment including breaking out the Card-Sharks boards for Higher-Lower, but first... Last week, we asked you what spawn of American Idol was your favorite.
Chico: And 64% of you say... NO MORE SPAWN, please.
Jason: Smart crowd
Gordon: This week, we have one more piece of Halloween fun before we say goodbye to this holiday.
Chico: Boo!

Gordon: Results next week.
Chico: Higher-Lower next. This is WLTI... writing's not a problem, because we have no talent :-)
Jason: And we are non-union.
