Episode 25.8 - Charlie O Tribute Show
November 8

Jason: LOL
Chico: And it goes down like crap.
Gordon: Apparently. And Chico has a problem.
Jason: What's that?
Gordon: Too many things on the TV set at one time for his liking.
Chico: It's true.
Gordon: So much sweepage
Chico: So we're going to play a little Watch or Record.
Gordon: Lets play. Starting with...

Jeopardy! or 1 Vs. 100?

Jason: Watch J! Record 1
Chico: Watch J! Record 1 vs. 100.
Gordon: Same here. I'm not enthused with 100 video cut outs.
Chico: Reminds me of Paranoia. Only without Peter. We miss you, dawg.
Jason: Amen.
Gordon: Amen. Next one?
Chico: Next...

Now that baseball is over, it's back to slinging hash for the man. Hell's Kitchen or Survivor?

Jason: Watch Survivor, record HK
Gordon: Actually - Watch Hell's Kitchen, Tape Survivor. It's going to be clear who the next 3 bootees are going to be, so I'll watch Hell's Kitchen till the finale, then flip to Survivor once the Logan's Run Pagonging is done.
Chico: Watch HK, which is coming down the pike to a heady climax. Record Survivor... which isn't.
Gordon: I didn't Chico to agree with me. Heh. Next one...

Later on that night - The Ultimate Fighter or The Challenge?

Chico: Ultimate Fighter Watch. Challenge, Record.
Jason: Watch UFC...record challenge. I do not understand the appeal of RR Challenge
Gordon: Watchg UFC, Record Challenge. I understand the appeal. It's the soap opera for people not into The Hills. Jay is an old fart so he doesn't get it.
Chico: And i have a brain. so i don't get it
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next..

Jeopardy!/Wheel of Fortune... or Family Game Night?

Jason: Watch the Friedman Duo and record FGN. Both great shows.
Gordon: Watch Family Game NIght, Tape the block - but for a different reason. It will be weird hearing someone not Charlie O'Donnell, and I want to tape it and hold on to it.
Chico: Same here.
Gordon: Next one...

Pictureka Vs. Catch 21

Chico: Watch Pictureka, Record Catch 21. It's good to watch people on live TV know what they're doing.
Gordon: Watch Pictureka. I like penguins.
Chico: Me too. And Cory Almeida's good in it. The last few bonuses on C21... Hoo-wee
Jason: Watch Pictureka and record the catch
Gordon: But Jason...you were a contestant on Catch 21. Expain to Alfonso and the rest of us why you're going rogue.
Jason: Because the show is...well...the show...it's good...but not APPOINTMENT tv. I am not going rogue. I am being honest. Pictureka is more challenging as well.
Gordon: Honesty is the best policy. Unless you're on Survivor, Big Brother or Friend Vs. Foe. Last one?
Chico: Last one...

Poker After Dark or Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?'

Gordon: Watch Poker after Dark. Tape 5th Grader.
Jason: Oh yeah :)
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: And I'm hoping that helps Chico and his viewing habits.
Jason: Me too.
Chico: More than you know. Thanks a lot
Gordon: And when we come back, we will help you with the media spin.
Jason: I love to do that.

(Brought to you by Amazing Race Antarctica. Million dollar penguins... )

Jason: Watch for the ice!
Chico: Now that's a Penguin prize hunt you can get behind!
Gordon: Is Pictureka sponsoring it?
Chico: Yep
Gordon: Cool. It's time to Read Between the Lines. Start us off, Mr. Bald and Sexy.
Chico: Yes sir. Oh ma, we're starting heavy here.

This was from a story about something that happened on Countdown this week. Channel 4 says...

"Countdown is a daytime program and this particular word was not deemed appropriate for a daytime audience so was not included in the show."

Gordon: Translation: 'The amount of fleeting curse words that appear on our shows is zero.'
Chico: Translation: We absolutely draw the line on nine-letter words meaning "to get drunk" or "become ornery"
Jason: Translation: We have standards and we don't want to be like the price is right in the US, where would be stoners think 420 is a cute bid. DO YOU HEAR ME? Not funny anymore. 69 is cool. :) 420 is not.
Chico: Though Gordon Ramsay gets away with saying such things all the time!
Gordon: The letters: DTCEIASHF What the contestant came up with: Sh(bleep)tface. Perfectly legal word.
Chico: He could've added the other D for 9
Jason: Wow.
Gordon: Honestly, he should have been able to play it. It turns out he won the match anyways, so no harm no foul, but it's in the rules that he should have played it. Would have been a great blooper.
Chico: Awesome. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

According to Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, they are switching roles between the 'Good Judge' and 'Bad Judge', saying that neither of them wants to be a stereotype.

Jason: Translation: Instead of being a "good judge" or "bad judge"...HOW ABOUT BEING A COMPETENT JUDGE.
Chico: Translation: You mean we're NOT supposed to be caricatures? Folks... this is why Idol is going down the tubes.
Gordon: Translation: We can't compete with Simon Cowell, so we're going to try to be ourselves and see if the honesty works out. it probably won't, but at least it won't hurt our career if the show goes pasties up by the end of 2011.
Chico: You'd think so, wouldn't you?
Gordon: If I'm smart, I would. They still do have careers.
Chico: I'd have to say so, yeah.
Gordon: Next?
Chico: Next. This is from the Apprentice firee Mahsa Saeidi-Azcuy...

"This goes beyond the scope of the boardroom, and it goes beyond the scope of the show. My entire legal future is placed in jeopardy, and it is my duty as an attorney to clear my name."

Chico: Translation: I must put up a good front, in order to protect my behind."
Jason: Translation: This is how I am enhancing my resume, and this is how I am going to do it. Because my performance on the Apprentice blew chunks.
Gordon: Translation: As a lawyer, I have have wanted to act a little bit better on the show, cause now I'm probably going to be living with Spencer and Heidi in their guest room.
Chico: Be kind, man.
Gordon: Kind? What is the meaning of that word, kind?
Jason: LOL
Chico: Never mind. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Dance Cam Slam is moving to Wednesdays! So it can be paired with I Love Money! Watch both of our new game shows together!

Jason: Translation: Dance Cams with the media hos = webcams for money
Chico: Translation... Augustus, you're on in five.



Chico: *air punch*
Gordon: Translation: You are my zommmmbieeee, my only zoommmmbiiiiiieeee, You make me happpyyyyyyy...when the shows go awayyyyyyy.
Chico: Weeee!
Gordon: BTW. I Love Money - 0.413 million viewers. not good.
Chico: Translation: Why did we even bother? (^_^)ing Baggage gets more hits than us!
Gordon: Next one, before I start singing the next verse.
Chico: Next one...from Paula Abdul!

"I want to kick (American Idol's) butts."

Chico: Translation: I'm a bitter old hag.
Gordon: Translation: I want to beat Idol...but I'm probably drinking way too much of what's in that Coca Cola cup.
Jason: Translation: Nigel, Les made me say that...When this is over...can I have my job back? Please? Pretty Please?
Gordon: Oh I think once The X-Factor shows up next year, she and Simon will be at it again.
Jason: Done. And Done.
Chico: Mm-hmm...
Gordon: Last one...

Brad Womack is The Bachelor! It's his second chance for love!

Jason: Translation: Our casting department is more lazy than normal!
Chico: what Jason said.
Gordon: Translation: We couldn't find any Bachelorette guys who are suitable, and Chico Alexander wasn't available. Besides, Chico has a Brad Womack poster on his wall!
Chico: Oh god. Let me go barf. Throw it to break.
Gordon: Someone's had too many Buffalo Chips?
Chico: *gagging noises*
Gordon: ...guess so. When Chico is done with the puke, we go to the Speed Round. Next!
Chico: *more gagging noises*

(Brought to you by America's Next Top Turkey. They have the preening contests. The best giblets. The best noise. The winning bird is...slaughtered and put up as the cover of the next Good Housekeeping Magazine. What sort of prize is that?)

Jason: Not a good one.
Chico: Depends on what side you're taking. I'm taking the side... of stuffing. Whoooooa!
Gordon: I could go into that, but we're running out of time. Speed Round start now! Survivor, who gets pagonged next?
Jason: One of the Logan's run peeps.
Chico: By Jane!
Gordon: Marty's contract is over. So is Marty.
Chico: Who's going off the dance floor?
Jason: Bye Kurt
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: I think Kurt has a fan base. I'll say Bye Kyle.
Gordon: Hell's Kitchen - does Sabrina survive this week?
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Yep
Chico: Only because someone else will screw the pooch. And we'll have this conversation again NEXT week.
Gordon: Pretty much.
Gordon: Any mail?
Chico: Yes we do. This is from the Voice of the Brainvision News, Mr. Doug Morris.

Gordon: Well Said, Doug. I have one from John Johannessen.

Chico: I think you pretty much nailed it, Josh.
Jason: Everything he said is right.
Gordon: Hey John. I don't disagree with you. That being said, it all depends what he does on the show.
Jason: But Michael Symon is starting to be given the Fieri Push
Chico: Or who outdoes him in the competition. Remember, it's not how you start, but how you funish.
Gordon: Thanks for the email. That's all we have time for. If you want to send an email. where does it go, Chico?
Chico: Goes to WLTI@gameshownewsnet.com. Or you can find us on Facebook, MySpace, or YouTube.
Gordon: And that ends the show. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us this week.
Jason: Great fun. Thank you.
Gordon: Finally - what are you watching and not watching? For me, I'm watching sweep goodness and avoiding candy shows. Ugh.
Chico: I'm watching Hell's Kitchen.
Jason: Well, I will be watching Wheel in the transition phase
Chico: Not watching Hole in the Wall. Still. Not watching....Hole In the Wall. Next week, we're picking the J! Semis against the spread, and more of that good stuff. Until then, for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander saying, as always... Game over... and spread the love.
