Episode 16.10
November 12

Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper and...Chico Alexander, come on down!
Chico: Woooooo!1
Gordon: Jason Block, come on down!
Jason: Alright! (runs and high fives Chico)
Chico: Yeah!
Gordon: Next up...Chico Alexander, come on down!
Chico: Ohmygod! *wears UNC shirt*
Gordon: and Finally, Jason Block, come on down!
Jason: (wears A Drew's Crew Shirt and high fives everyone!)
Gordon: Could this happen? Yes it could, plus we talk about strikes, evictions and more as from Rich Field's podium, this edition of WLTI...is...on! Gordon Pepper here, along with Chicn and Jason.
Chico: Respect.
Jason: Good morning and I have one quick question.
Chico: "No that wasn't me."
Jason: who was the ONLY one who had the Pats last week?
Chico: You guys got lucky.... Twice.
Jason: lol We shall see again in January.
Chico: We shall.
Gordon: This brings Jason Block's prediction record to 1-14,582
Chico: HA!
Jason: Wow. Haterade early.
Chico: *ding* Okay, that was the banter bell, let's get the show started with the big news this week.
Jason: You mean that little strike thingy?
GSordon: Yes, that little strike thingy.
Chico: Yeah, that little strike thing. Monday morning at midnight ET, writers everywhere logged off their laptops and took to the streets and the pickets.
Jason: And as of this taping...no new talks are scheduled.
Gordon: Nor do I think we will see new talks for awhile
Chico: Not even between both sides and God... errr... Arnold?
Gordon: I don't see how the Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger will be able to do anything unless he pays the guild the internet royalties from his own pocket.
Chico: Like that'll happen. And with scripts running thin, we're already seeing that networks are rushing to fill in hours upon hours of television with ... well, something.
Gordon: At least both sides have been honest about this. This is all about money. Already affected are the talk shows and some prime time shows.
Chico: Late night talk shows have been shuttered for the last week. The last pre-strike ep of "The Office" airs Thursday. So sad. 24 has been shelved indefinitely.
Jason: Lost...is Lost
Gordon: And it will get worse, as most of the shows out there do not have enough episodes for February - the February that affects the Sweeps and ad rates.
Chico: But what does it all mean to Joe Fanboy?
Gordon: It means to not expect anything serious from the Writer's Guild in terms of a negotiation until late January at the earliest, since that's when they have the most power, which would be the power to threaten TV's bottom line.
Chico: February usually sets the tone for the rest of the season. November is about weeding out garbage, and May is when everything is nice and wrapped up.
Jason: And remember most shows in our genre have taped months ahead.
Chico: Yep.
Jason: But...
Chico: But.
Jason: CBS is already planning a Big Brother...in February.
Gordon: Right. Now as the casual fan, I would think that what it means is that we will be seeing lots and lots of reality and game show programming. The good news is we'll see a lot.
Chico: That and they've already started quietly casting for Amazing Race.
Gordon: The bad news is that a lot of said shows will be shows that did not make the Prime Time Schedule, which means the quality of said shows...probably not so good.
Jason: Anything to fill time
Gordon: Can I have a Big Board, please?
Chico: Got it.

Gordon: We're going to do a mini Push or Flush. Here's the shows coming down the pike. You tell me if it's Pushable or Flushable.
Jason: OK.
Chico: Got it.

Celebrity Big Brother

Jason: Pastry Push...if they get the right celebs
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: Agreed

Celebrity Apprentice

Jason: See above
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: We've heard rumors of the celebrities. We're not going to post anything up until we have something definite, but it's not looking awful

American Gladiators

Jason: This is flushable. Especially with Hogan in it.
Chico: I'd push it. Even though I don't agree with the hosting choices. I mean, Hulk and Laila Ali? Come on!
Gordon: Push, but Hogan as host concerns me. greatly.
Chico: .. Yep.

Amne$ia

Chico: This could be cute. Push.
Jason: It's Mark Burnett, which I dont like. But it's Dennis Miller, which I do. Pastry
Gordon: I hate the concept, but Burnett has surprised before. See 5th Grader. VERY paltry push

The Moment of Truth

Jason: This is major flush time. Bad Bad stuff.
Chico: This has the potential to be the biggest Fox quiz disaster since The Chamber. FLUSH.
Gordon: Why, FOX, why? Flush

Dance War

Chico: Other Drew's hosting. It'll work. Push.
Jason: DWTS viewers love Lachey. Push'
Gordon: People love to dance as well. Push

American Idol 7

Chico: PUSH.
Gordon: PUSH!
Jason: Hold on a minute there.
Chico: I mean, this should sound rife with fault, bcause it's the seventh season and we've been here before.
Jason: If they continue the backslide of 6, this COULD be the end of the franchise. I am going to PUSH with cautiion right now.
Chico: But it's American Idol. People watch it.
Gordon: The producers have pulled out the stops to make sure this season doesn't go backwards.
Jason: Let's hope.
Chico: I know.
Gordon: And the season after 3, we got Carrie Underwood. I'll give the producers the benefit of the doubt here.
Jason: I am...but I am also being cautious.

Amazing Race 13 (Yes, CBS greenlighted a new season after seeing the opening night ratings)

Chico: Pushing.
Jason: Way pushing. If the one ep of 12 is any indication.
Chico: We'll get to the one ep later, though.
Gordon: Agreed.

Clash of the Choirs

Jason: God is on their side....push
Chico: So is the fact that NBC tried this before and it worked... and it's Christmas. Push.
Gordon: It could be fun...I hope. Cautious push

Jingles

Chico: Pastry push.
Jason: Flaky pastry.
Chico: This is reaching bottom of the barrel.
Gordon: I think this is a stretch. Flush.
Chico: I remember this show back when it was called "Score" and Ryan Cabrera hosted it. Wonder what happened to him =p

Hell's Kitchen 4

Chico: Push
Gordon: Push
Jason: @*@*@*@ Push
Chico: LANGUAGE!
Jason: Sorry.

Do You Trust Me?

Jason: Whats the concept on that one?
Gordon: Friend Or Foe. FLush.
Jason: Yeah. Flush
Chico: Flush.

Duel

Chico: It's trivia for gambling folk, right?
Jason: This one intrigues me. Push
Chico: I too am intrigued, and that's the key element.
Gordon: It is. Interesting head-to-head concept. Id watch the first episode. Push

National Bingo Night 2

Jason: NO BINGO - FLUSH
Chico: NO BINGO!
Gordon: Now we know why ABC saved this. Make it go away, daddy. Flush.

Million Dollar Password

Jason: For those who dont know. Fremantle is involved with this remake of Password.
Chico: This could be interesting. then again, it could be Temptation all over again. Pastry.
Jason: Sorry, this one scares me. Dont remake a show, if you arent going to play by the same rules! FLUSH.
Gordon: I'm scared too. We see what they have done to $ale of the Century. PASTRY push, and am ready to turn on it in a minute if they bastardize the show.

The Farmer Wants a Wife

Jason: Hi ho the derry-o I FLUSH.
Gordon: The Farmer wants a wife. And I will want a Maalox after watching this. Flush
Chico: The show stands alone. FLUSH.

Here Come the Newlyweds

Jason: Oh that one FLUSH
Chico: Hey Gordon!
Gordon: Hey Chico!
Chico: Remember when this was called "Race to the Altar?"
Gordon: I do, I covered it
Chico: Want to cover it again?
Gordon: It wasnt awful, but it's not going to work now. Flush. You want to cover it?
Chico: Umm... No. Flush.

My Dad is Better Than Your Dad

Chico: Is so not. Flush.
Jason: Ugh. Flush
Gordon: Are we THAT desperate for programming? Of course we are. Flush.

1 Vs. 100

Chico: Provided that it actually happens... Push.
Gordon: It will happen, obvoiusly, and it will be good, Push
Jason: Push Push push

Power of 10, Season 2

Chico: See above.
Jason: Agreed
Gordon: Drew is turning into the Bill Cullen of our time. He even looks like Bill. Think about it.
Chico: Thinking.
Jason: Hmmmm...Yup.

The Pussycats Dolls 2: Girlicious

Jason: Hairball. Yuck
Gordon: No, I DONT wish my programs were hot like them. Flush.
Chico: You might want to replace the toilet after this one.

Wanna Bet?

Chico: As much as I like the cheeky humor of Ant & Dec... Pastry.
Jason: Another foreign import from ABC...it might work. Pastry
Gordon: Eh. Push. Pastry. Im not too convinced on this one
Chico: Me neither. That and it's been done before. So that's what we have to look foward to with the writer's strike.
Gordon: Some of it good. Some of it not so good.
Gordon: Now let's go back to...1996
Jason: 1996?
Gordon: Lets say that you were on The Price is Right back then and you won a car. Neato, right?
Jason: Very.
Chico: Oh yeah.
Jason: Depending on the car of course.
Gordon: Well now, you can go back and win another one. According to TPIR Producer Syd Vinnedge, TPIR is allowing people who have been on the show 10 years ago or longer to be eligible to go back on the show.
Chico: Apparently, in a move that screams "You haven't experienced TPIR unless you experienced it with Drew Carey." Not saying that Drew Carey saved TPIR, but come on... Why do that?
Gordon: It also screams, 'We're running out of contestants and we want to have a shameful ploy which will piss off the people who have never been contestants on the show'.
Jason: You know, I am going to be the lone voice here...I have ZERO problem with this.
Gordon: I have a MASSIVE problem with this.
Chico: Hard to believe, but I have a bigger problem with it than Gordon does.
Jason: Try me.
Gordon: Why not allow the people who have never been on the show to play?
Chico: That, and pick out any game show. Once you're done with them, you're DONE... barring any tournaments and some such.
Jason: I have no problem with that
Chico: Then you open up the floodgates for statfinders and what not. Like "Who was the biggest winner in TPIR history?" "Oh, that guy... you know, the guy that was on twice and won twice?" It's Roger Maris all over again.
Gordon: America. I introduce you to Chico. Chico has never been on a game show. NOW you're telling Chico that now he has to compete against people who have ALREADY BEEN On the show and people who the producers (who were there long enough to remember those people who have been on) can now select. And you know they will select them again if they made for great television the first time around.
Chico: *pouts*
Gordon: Chico, I introduce you to the wall. you have my permission to run into it.
Chico: I want to hear what J has to say first.
Jason: Do you remember Jeopardy? When it came on in 1984, people from the Art Fleming version of Jeopardy were allowed on to compete in the Trebek version, correct?
Chico: That's different.
Gordon: It's a different argument. The Art Fleming version or Jeopardy and the Alex Trebek version of Jeopardy were two different series.
Chico: ... what Gordon said.
Jason: What Vinnedge is claiming (rightly or wrongly) is that now with a different host...it is a different series. Or a different version
Chico: That's just it. It isn't a different series. And he's a fool to think otherwise.
Gordon: So then if it's 2 different series, then why limit people who have played for the past 10 years? Its hypocrisy from Vinnedge.
Jason: And I will agree with you on one point. I can't play on the syndicated version of Millionaire. Or go back on Jeopardy. It all depends on Coordinator Stan Blitz, and the contestant pickers.
Gordon: Millionaire is being treated as the same show - just a syndicated version and I give Davies credit for that. I think it's a terrible idea to do something like bringing back contestants on TPIR.
Jason: Would you feel the same way if Millionaire did this? Or any other show?
Gordon: Yes. One show. One shot. Period. Unless its a tournament of champions or losers or whatever theme show.
Chico: I didn't have an issue with Jeopardy! because those were two different shows. This however is the same show in the same run, and to do this just smacks in the face of people who want to get on the show on their own merits. No need to go and make this Deal or No Deal here.
Gordon: NOW if TPIR said that they'll give second chances to people who never got on stage, then I may agree with that. But to have another shot when you already have gotten on stage? No. Negative. Completely against.
Jason: I think what TPIR is going to do is the "contestants row not winning deal." I think people will get pissed if they see a car winner from before 1997.
Gordon: And I agree with Chico. You have people who will win more than $100,000 by getting on stage twice. When does Chico get to play once?
Chico: All I want is (Antonio Esfandiari) ONE TIME, PLEASE! (/Antonio Esfandiari)
Jason: lol
Gordon: So. Chico. Here's the wall. you may run into it.
Chico: Here I go already! *runs into wall*
Jason: Feel better?
Chico: I'm okay.
Gordon: (picks up the chipped paint falling off the wall)
Chico: Okay. Back to game happiness. Interesting little tidbit... proving that the games that we watch right now will be affected by a case-by-case basis...Jeopardy! actually employs WGA talent. And we saw their best work this week.
Jason: The tournament was excellent this week. Up to the usual high standards
Gordon: Great stuff this week in the Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy
Chico: Yeah. I mean, after Monday's show, I wasn't really feeling it. Then it got hot. I had a braingasm, yo.
Jason: Was it good for you?
Gordon: What excited me the most was that all of the favorites (with the exception of Monday's show) advanced, which will make an exciting second week.
Chico: Oh yeah. Speaking of which, Big Board 2 time ...

Chico: You know what's about to go down now. I have next week's lineups.
Jason: Bring it
Chico: Monday: Chris Mazurek / Susan "NOW I remember her" Mitchell / Doug Hicton. Chris... didn't do anything notable except win Monday's game. Susan made quite a run at it.. did Doug win Friday?
Jason: Doug did win - j-archive.com from the interbox. I like Doug here.
Gordon: Doug should win this one
Chico: I also like Doug, but watch out, there's a Susan coming into your lane here, bro. Tuesday: Celeste DiNucci / Christian Haines / Jeff Spoeri. A meeting of the megachamps... The difference here is that Christian knows how to play.
Jason: But I like Celeste
Gordon: Meeting Pt, 1. I'll go with Haines And Wednesday?
Chico: Wednesday: Paul "Not-Starsky" Glaser / Craig "Stoneface" Westphal / Cliff "I went to college" Galiher.
Jason: This is the match for me. I like Glaser by a hair.
Chico: This will be the key match. Three strong players, one of which has actually been in tournament play before. I'm.. I'm torn.
Gordon: I'll say Westphal,. but this should be your Jeopardy finals matchup.
Chico: So one question remains... Who takes the whole thing? I go with Haines.
Gordon: I'll say whoever wins on Wednesday
Jason: I am going to say Glaser.
Chico: Now the Final is supposed to be "The game" but it looks like Wednesday'll be the show. Can't wait for it.
Jason: No kidding
Gordon: And someone else who lost the the last episode - Jane Seymour
Jason: And normalcy returns right?
Chico: You'd like to think that...But it seems like there's a new tragedy every week, leading people to wonder... and this is the truth here...
Gordon: Sort of. normalcy in the competition, No normalcy at all for Marie Osmond, who loses her father this week.
Jason: Sad news indeed
Chico: Very sad.
Jason: Two parents lost on this season of DWTS Jane lost her mother earlier this season
Gordon: At least now Jane can mourn in private
Chico: Seems like something's always happened, leading some to believe that this season's cast... is cursed. Me, I don't buy it.
Jason: Me neither
Gordon: Agreed. And with that, we continue with the weekly round up with the departure of Action Bob from Survivor.
Chico: D'oh!
Jason: What happened?
Chico: He was basically looking for a save where none existed.
Jason: whoops
Gordon: Jean-Robert was playing like a poker player - being aggressive. Maybe a little too agressive when he tried to plot the demise of his ex-best friend James.
Chico: Unfortunately, unlike poker, Survivor is both a mental and a physical game.
Chico: And people who frankly are better at reading people than he is wanted him out... and got their wish.
Chico: Meanwhile next on the block is the obvious threat of James, the strongest player in Survivor history.
Jason: You really believe he is THAT strong?
Chico: I haven't seen anyone stronger.
Jason: Well, Richard Hatch of course.
Chico: Physically?
Jason: No. Mentally yes
Gordon: James is clearly on the bubble as a target
Jason: I do not disagree
Chico: He's going to have to pull a win out in the clutch. Much like Courtney did... FOR ONCE.
Gordon: We'll see what happens there. Meanwhile, this past Sunday, we had the debut of one of our favorite shows - the Amazing Race
Jason: And they came back strong. It wasa great stuff
Chico: Very much so. We've got a lot of characters this season. A lot of people you want to root for... or against.
Gordon: Karma turned around and bit a team in...the ass.
Chico: Funny how karma plays a role on this show a lot.
Gordon: Either Karma or 7th season producers who wanted to make sure a team caught a plane to not make it a boring finals, but I digress.
Jason: Are you STILL on that one? :)
Gordon: Yes.
Jason: ok
Gordon: But despite the issues, we had Ari purposely steal a taxi reserved for someone else - then get skunked when their own transportation (in the form of a mule) didnt budge.
Jason: They are stubborn for a reason, and went home from Ireland.
Gordon: So how did you like that first episode?
Chico: I liked it a lot. Especially the start. I don't think I've ever seen an 11 car pile up before.
Jason: From the Playboy Mansion...all that was missing was the Girls Next Door :)
Chico: Heh.
Jason: 11 Chrysler Aspen SUV's.
Chico: But it's pretty interesting to see where one team goes in relation to another. And then in the end, only one team (Nathan & Jennifer, quelle supresse) go at each other for it.
Jason: The Goths are fun.
Chico: I like the Goths.
Jason: I like the Lesbian Priests.
Chico: My sister is going to kill me... but I hope the Goths win.
Jason: A lot of couples I can root for.
Gordon: It should be fun. What about women who win $500,000 on Dont Forget the Lyrics?
Jason: Nice.
Chico: What was the big lyric that could've done it?
Gordon: The $500,000 song - My Life by Billy Joel.
Chico: THAT'S SO EASY! COME ON!
Jason: Good song.
Chico: It was the theme to frickin' Bosom Buddies! But who am I to complain. She has $500,000 more than any of us do.
Gordon: For $500,000...Here are the lyrics

Got a call from an old friend we used to be real close
said he couldn't go on the American way
closed the shop sold a house bought a ticket to the west coast
now he gives them a stand-up routine in LA

I don't need you to worry for me cos I'm alright
I don't want ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

Jason: I am SO blanking.
Chico: ...you to tell me it's time to come home.
Jason: That's the one.
Gordon: And Chico wins $500,000.
Chico: Ask the guy with the Billy Joel box set.
Jason: Bingo.
Gordon: Dottie wins $500,000.
Chico: Good on her.
Gordon: She has the chance to go for the Million, but she decides to NOT go for it
Chico: Aww.
Gordon: And we do not see the million dollar song
Jason: booo
Chico: That's $500,000 still. That's about $376,000 more than Danny Pecoraro wins on DoND.
Gordon: Danny does win $124,000...BUT
Jason: he had the case...right?
Gordon: Inside his case....$750.000.
Jason: Ouch.
Chico: Pretty steep, yeah.
Gordon: The Banker has saved a lot of money this season. Maybe he can give it to the strikers from the WGA.
Jason: He can afford it
Chico: Of course he can. He's a banker.
Gordon: Meanwhile, Rocket and The Muggs were eliminated in The Great American Band
Chico: Aww... I liked the Muggs.
Jason: What about Phenomenon? Any slap fights between Uri and Criss?
Gordon: And in Phenomenon, eliminated were Jim Callahan and...well who cares about everyone else. Do you even know who they are?
Chico: ... no.
Gordon: And no, no slap fights.
Chico: Aww.
Gordon: But the hamsters have a magic trick
Jason: Cool.
Gordon: Chen-bot is in a cage. They out a blanket over the cage...then remove the blanket...and Chen-bot is gone! Replacing her is....a cage full of pellets. Oh that's gross.
Chico: That's just wrong.
Jason: Yuck
Gordon: Though the pellets could be accurately used to describe Phenomenon
Chico: Gordon... please...
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)

Gordon: We gave you a lot of dates. What about one more? Who wants a date with Heidi?
Jason: Hello...yes!

Project Runway. November 14th. Watch it.

Jason: Sew and Tell baby.
Gordon: Should be a great time. What do we have for the Business End?
Jason: Here's the Bat
Chico: In the business end..

Not content with dancing stars and dancers at war, ABC has ordered up "Dance Machine" RDF is only saying, of the format, "Ordinary people, extraordinary circumstances, and a whole lot of money on the line."

Chico: Also on the fat bat...

TV Guide Network, who aired Hollywood Showdown, is getting into an original quiz called "Celebrity Says", hosted by Dave Holmes (underrated) and premiering sometime in first quarter of '08.

Jason: Part of the fallout from the strike, of course.
Chico: Not exactly. TV Guide is starting to get into the original programming game. Hence their various pickups.
Jason: Right.
Chico: You notice they're airing Celebrity Fit Club now.
Jason: Dave Holmes, for those who don't remember, was the runner up to Jesse Camp in MTV's 'I want to be a DJ' contest. And yes, he is damned underrated.
Chico: He hosted "Kidnapped" and "Fire Me... Please!"
Gordon: I have some nice fit Haterade
Jason: How many glasses should I set up?
Gordon: 2 glasses - and 1 chalkboard
Chico: Eek.
Jason: (sets up the glasses)
Gordon: The Chalkboard - Are You Smarter than...

Cynthia Malone, who abandoned Kellie Pickler, and who decides that now is a great time (while Kellie is performing at the American Music Awards) to have an interview with WGHP-TV.

Chico: I remember ABC11 out of Raleigh aired excerpts from said interview on Wednesday.
Jason: And I bet she had great things to say, right?
Gordon: Just how she loved Kellie and did the best things for her. I'm sure that leaving her with an abusive fatyher and abandoning her with her grandparents while said father was in jail must have been really good parenting techniques.
Jason: Sure they were...oh boy.
Chico: And Kellie responded in kind... No, really.
Jason: Kellie is above that
Gordon: Kellie didn't comment, though the people from behind the scenes says that she has a non-existant relationship with her mom - and based on this, it's for good reason.
Chico: Her words: "She is done."
Jason: Nice way to get your 15 minutes this week, Ms. Malone.
Gordon: Did Kellie get on 5th grader this week?
Chico: Next week, G. This week, it was Tony Hawk, who won $175,000 for his charity, the Tony Hawk foundation. They build skate parks in low-income areas.
Jason: cool
Gordon: At for Haterade, we'll talk about people who you won't see on Celebrity 5th grader.
Jason: Like whom?

After moving to midnight for 2 weeks, Take the Cake is now off the air. It's either been yanked because of low ratings/revenue, or yanked because, in their words, 'The First Season has been completed', depending on if you buy the web site's explanation.

Jason: Does anyone here think that's a surprise?
Chico: Umm.. I don't know. Can I have a lifeline?
Gordon: Well first of all, do you think its coming back for Season #2?
Jason: No.
Chico: If it does, it'll be a silent launch. You know, when Endemol drums up enough DoND money.
Gordon: Very silent. And no, not a surprise. The era of scam in and win is officially over.
Jason: (plays Taps)....and good riddance. Didn't a company lose a ton of money because of it this week?
Chico: British Telecom.
Gordon: I think they did. Lets go global.
Jason: Are we headed to the UK?

They lost $40 million on viewers who shied away from the once-prosperous call-ins.

Jason: Thats a lot of cash
Chico: Their second-quarter results, and this is coming from Citigroup, are "mixed at best"
Chico: Oh, and did we mention that some 4000 pink slips are expected to be handed?
Jason: from BT? Double Yipe
Chico: It's a dangerous time to "get involved".
Jason: Interactive TV quizzes...dead. Or at least on life support.
Gordon: I dont think its dead. I think the old-school formula used to orchestrate them definitely is.
Jason: That may be true, G.
Chico: Obviously there has to be lawyers and accountants on site now. Much like the results of pageants and lottery draws. One thing that never goes out of style though... Getting on TV and telling your friends about it.
Gordon: Now you may ask how we know that CBS greenlighted Amazing Race 13?
Jason: HOW?!?!
Gordon: Because I have a big red casting couch.
Jason: It's a cool looking couch
Gordon: And it says this:

CBS's Amazing Race is now casting! Have you dreamed about traveling around the world and competing to win 1,000,000 dollars.
http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1844?PHPSESSID=2eba5a00970b5093b71899c804d6f3e1

Chico: Or, if you can't copy all of that... there's an application at CBS.com :-)
Gordon: True. And you know how we knew about the change of format in Crosswords?
Chico: Yeah.
Gordon: Because Reality Wanted says this:

"Merv Griffin’s Crosswords' is still seeking contestants and we need some fast thinkers! Cash prizes have been raised! Crossword Getaways have been eliminated and more Crossword Extras added!

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SUBMIT BEFORE THE END OF SEASON ONE! Season two will be cast nationally and your chances of getting on a show are much higher if you audition NOW for Season 1.

http://www.realitywanted.com/index.php/latest/1795?PHPSESSID=2eba5a00970b5093b71899c804d6f3e1

Gordon: Of course, if you don't believe that Crosswords will see a season 2, you better hurry and audition NOW.
Chico: So season 2 is a go then?
Jason: unofficially it seems.
Gordon: It's not official on Season 2 yet. So take the last part with a grain of salt.
Chico: But when it does become official?
Gordon: No idea. But what is official - another season of Ultimate Fighter.
Jason: It should.

Jason: If you think you can kick ass with the best of them...go ahead

Chico: Methinks this is Celebrity Says. They're produced by the same company
Jason: Could be, rabbit.
Gordon: It could be. Hey Chico, you remember Viking the Ultimate Obstacle Course?
Chico: Oh yeah. It was like Ninja Warrior... only without the Ninjas.
Jason: Very good show
