Episode 31.11 - Family Drama
December 3

Gordon: Welcome back to WLTI. Thanks for being a part of our week and for letting us be a part of yours. Now with all this talk about the truth in print, I think we need to decipher how many statements are really true. Time to play some Accuracy or Idiocy
Chico: Sounds killer. Why don't you start it off
Gordon: I will

#1. Something this year in December will be brought back for a second season, which would break the drought for the past 2 years.

Chico: Idiocy. Take It All has all the appeal of Million Dollar Money Drop. And we all know how THAT fared.
Gordon: You know, there once was a time where December shows actually meant something. This was back when they had good ideas. Now we have rotten fruitcake and dried up egg nog.
Chico: Not to mention those stale nasty Christmas cookies with an overabundance of colored sugar.
Gordon: Yuck. Idiocy. You got that from the Sugar Shack, didn't you?
Chico: I did. Next...

The Voice will succeed with its new roster of judges.

Gordon: Accuracy. I'll credit Burnett with some intriguing choices.
Chico: Usher and Shakira... VERY intriguing. Now they have to make it so that feeling lasts ALL SEASON LONG instead of fizzing out during the live vote.
Gordon: The key here is to have more judge and singer integration. Next one...

ANYONE on the X-Factor gets a Top 10 single in any genre this season.

Chico: Idiocy. I like what this season's bringing to the party, but let's face it... after this season, they're going to concentrate on NEXT season. If any of these guys want to be stars, and I think they do, they're going to have to fight for it.
Gordon: Actually, I'm going to slightly disagree. Accuracy. I think Tate Stephens gets a hit on the country side. They have always supported their TV stars. See Underwood, Carrie and McCreery, Scotty.
Chico: True. I will be surprised if the other two frontrunners get airplay, what with the likes of Rihanna and that tool Biebs on the charts.
Gordon: Carly isn't a Top 40 singer, but she'll get props. It wouldn't surprise me to see Emblem 3 on Disney. This season's singers are miles better than Season 1.
Chico: And Rachel Crow got a deal with Nick. Just saying.
Gordon: Exactly my point. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

Pulled midway through season 2, Figure It Out will be renewed for season 3 in 2013.

Gordon: Here's Billy the Answer Head:

____ _____ _____ ____ _____ ____ ______.

Gordon: You have 60 seconds. Go.
Chico: Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Gordon: No
Chico: Is it a sport?
Gordon: No
Chico: Is it a record?
Gordon: No
Chico: Is it a talent?
Gordon: Yes
Chico: Can Gordon Pepper do it in public?
Gordon: I wouldn't want to do it in public.
Chico: I think I'm going to a dark place here.
Gordon: (WHISTLE NOISE) oh look! It's a clue!

(Clue Board Games fall on Chico's head)

Chico: OW!!! Is a murder involved? Possibly yours if you do that again?
Gordon: ...no.
Chico: Oh god, I am Alex Heartman-level blanking right now. Does it have to do with home games?
Gordon: (HORN)

____ _____ _____ ____ _____ GAME ______.

Chico: Does it have to do with a game show
Gordon: YES (HORN)
Chico: I suck at this.

___ ____ _____ ____ _____ GAME SHOWS

Gordon: (TIME UP HORN) You have 4 guesses.
Chico: I Like burned off big money game shows.
Gordon: (HORN) Try again
Chico: No More Remakes of Nick GAME SHOWS. (unless it's Legends of the Hidden Temple)
Gordon: (HORN)

___ ____ _____ ______ NICK GAME SHOWS

Gordon: WAIT! (DUMPS GREEN SLIME ON CHICO)
Chico: (puts on pith helmet)
Gordon: That was the Secret Action! You mentioned Legends of the Hidden Temple!
Chico: Oh I wish this was a podcast. :-)
Gordon: 2 more guesses.
Chico: .... keep it in the summer, I don't know.
Gordon: (HORN) The answer:

ZOMBIE CHILD CRAVES EATING NICK GAME SHOWS

Chico: I was about to ask about zombies.
Gordon: So my answer is...Idiocy.
Chico: Idiocy.
Gordon: Next one...

There will be a Million Dollar winner on either Wheel of Fortune or Millionaire.

Chico: Idiocy, but not for lack of trying.
Gordon: I'm going to say idiocy also, but I think we'll get close this year.
Chico: I think so too. It's gonna be good to watch.
Gordon: Last one?
Chico: Last one.

Ashley Hebert is getting married. A Bachelor(ette) alum will follow her footsteps with his/her betrothed in 2013.

Gordon: Accuracy - but not on the show.
Chico: Idiocy. How long was it between Trista and Ashley again? And what is the main focus of people who GET on the Bachelor?
Gordon: I thought it was to get on Dancing with the Stars
Chico: No, that's the point of getting on a Disney sitcom. But enough about that. Let's go to a break.
Gordon: We'll continue this enlightening conversation after the break.

(Brought to you by Eat the Chefs. All you and your friends have to do is eat at a restaurant without gagging.)

Gordon: ...Ew?
Chico: Okay. Welcome back. It's about that time of the year to try and market stuff to people with money. So we're going to do the same with game shows in another round of... Excessories.
Gordon: Nice. Start it off
Chico: First of all...

Take It All.

Chico: White Elephants... with surprise toys inside. Just like Cracker jacks... only if you eat them, you have a serious
problem.
Gordon: I would say the new Take it All Russian Doll collection, complete with Geoff Edwards look-a-like.
Chico: Hey... Geoff Edwards is our friend. =p You can't put his name on this..
Gordon: It's WhiteElephantTreasureHuntShaftedFriendOrFoeGoldenBallsLetsMakeADeal, starring Geoff Edwards
Chico: ... My eyes hurt just reading that. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Carly Rose Sonenclaringer. Just because she need more votes.

Chico: YouTube videos! Lots and lots of YouTube videos!
Gordon: I would say also her own internet channel on fox.com
Chico: Why not. Rupert's pissed away more on less. That iPad newspaper thing? the News of the World? ... Yeah, just syaing.
Gordon: ...yeah. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

NumbNuts

Chico: This one's easy. Red Jumpsuits. Complete with super jump kicks and protective cups.
Gordon: The Viral Video Showdown Numbnuts Press Kit. They aren't doing anything for a while. Heck, team them up with Carly.
Chico: That works. Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Emily Maynard. We haven't had her in our show yet and I don't want Chico to have withdrawal symptoms

Chico: Yeah you do.

Well..ok, yes I do.

Chico: How about Instant Wedding in a Bag? A veil for her, a tux shirt for him, half a cake... sorry... and an internet preacher, all easily stuffed in a backpack. And because it's Emily Maynard... a Nascar decal. She's a fangirl SO HARD.
Gordon: I'll throw in the official Emily Maynard Crash Helmet and Air Bag collection. Just in case any relationship you're in crashes and burns.
Chico: And it will.
Gordon: Yes it will. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

While we're on the subject of marriage... the Newlywed Game.

Gordon: The Larry King Nuptual Set
Chico: How Not to Screw Up Your Marriage... by Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Makes a great coaster.
Gordon: Awesomeness. Last one...

The NHL. They really need the help right now.

Chico: One Gary Bettman remover.
Gordon: I'd like to add one Donald Fehr White Out. Keep in mind he also helped sink Major League Baseball's 1994 season.
Chico: Will they EVER learn?
Gordon: ...no. Maybe a break will make you feel better.
Chico: Maybe. Make me happy.

Chico: YAY! Sorry.. *baba bum baba dee bee da da dum*
Gordon: And we go to the Speed Round....NOW. Survivor: bye bye Abi-Maria?
Chico: Bye bye. Amazing Race. Who doesn't make it to the final?
Gordon: Baa baa black sheep have you any dough?. No sir no sir, I only have a Philimination. X Factor - any chance we don't see an Emblem / Tate / Carly final 3?
Chico: How can I put this... Nooooooooooooo.
Gordon: Agreed. Any email?
Chico: Nope, but they can send over some at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com, at Facebook /wlti.gsnn, and on twitter @wltiongsnn.
Gordon: And that wraps it up this week. Special thanks to no on e in partuicular as it's just Chico and I this week.
Chico: Now next week, we review Be the Boss... and if you tune in at CLW83.com, Gordon shares his survival tips on how to eat at a tourist trap. It's relevant!
Gordon: it is. That's next week. For this week, this is Gordon Pepper saying Game Over - and spread the love.
