Episode 22.14
December 14

Chico: Hey folks, I'm Chico Alexander. I'm a twin. That's Gordon Pepper... he's related to twins. Why the talk about twins? Aside from the fact that they're cool?
Jason: A lot of double trouble this week?
Chico: A lot of double trouble.
Gordon: This this is is Gordon Gordon Pepper Pepper, and and I I have have no no idea idea on on what what Chico Chico Alexander Alexander is is talking talking about about.
Chico: Heh. We're faced with a daunting task. We have to talk on things thoroughly... and quickly. That includes TWO years in the 10 Years in 2 Months. Two zero dollar winners.. Two people crossing the finish line in Vegas... Two people getting voted out. And a double overbid.
Jason: And two brothers on Top Chef
Chico: And we have to double time it!
Gordon: I'm just enjoying some double talk.
Chico: *puts dunce cap on G's head*
Gordon: But don't worry, we'll have plenty of time for double entendres.
Chico: *puts another dunce cap on G's head* Double Dunce!
Jason: He looks like a Trouble game piece.
Gordon: I guess you just wanted to double up, huh?
Chico: Ha. From somewhere in America... The Double Trouble edition of WLTI... is... ON!
Jason: WOO!
Gordon: We're get on the double this week with our special guest Jason Block.
Jason: Pleasure as always. It's too damn cold though
Chico: Oh yeah. Think we got down to 28 today. But this week, you want to talk about cold?
Jason: I do.
Chico: We start our Double Trouble themed show with... a COLD Hot Seat. Brrrr.
Jason: How cold was it?
Gordon: You could have reworded the title of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' with 'Who wants a llama for Christmas?'.
Jason: ROFL.
Gordon: Unfortunately, some of our contestants walked off with Skunks, Llamas, and other creatures you may find in a menagerie.
Chico: Sounds like a good title for a Big Bored. Let's lower it.

Chico: Now a llama, for the 4 of you who don't know, is when a person muffs the first question and ONLY when a person muffs the first question.
Jason: Named after Robby Roseman who said Hannibal crossed the Alps with Llamas.
Gordon: Right.
Chico: The first new player on Monday, Kevin Brown, doesn't llama, but he does get a little bit of NOTHING on this question for $1000. Remember that this is the second question in his stack.

[$1,000] (Familiar Tunes)
"And many more" is a line commonly sung at the end of what traditional ditty?
A: Old MacDonald
B: Jolly Good Fellow
C: Happy Birthday
D: Home on the Range

Jason: Of course that's C.
Chico: Of COURSE that's C.
Gordon: C. Though if he wanted many more cows, he'd say A.
Chico: Baaaa. Wait, that's a sheep. Kevin says B, Jolly Good Fellow...
Jason: The words after THAT one are....WHICH NOBODY CAN DENY.
Chico: Hmmm "For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good felooooooooow, which nobody can deny... and many more." No, that doesn't work.
Gordon: And he gets a not so jolly zero. Ho ho ho.
Chico: Sorry. Taking his place is Chris Mazza, who gets this for $500. Remember, this is question #1...

[$500] (In the Dictionary)
"Slightly inebriated" is a common definition for which of these words?
A: Milky
B: Watery
C: Beery
D: Jello-shotty

Jason: I am thinking C
Chico: Because you like the sauce now and then. So do I.
Jason: Of course (HIC)...oh wait, wrong segment.
Gordon: I'm thinking C, which is probably what Chris wound up doing right after the taping.
Chico: Chris goes with B with 3 seconds. And we all go have to take Chris to the zoo because he is a LLAMA!
Jason: Bleat.
Chico: Two questions on Monday. Total money... zero.
Gordon: But wait! There's more! Let's keep going, shall we.
Jason: Let's.
Chico: Right. Brandon Adoni needed a lifeline at $1000. He should've taken another one when he saw this for $5000.

[$5,000] (?)
Fittingly, the logo for the NHL's Detroit Red Wings is a picture of what with wings?
A: Space rocket
B: Automobile tire
C: Steam engine
D: Tugboat

Jason: I believe it's B.
Gordon: It would be a B.
Chico: Yep. Even if you have never seen the logo, you know Detroit is a motor town. Brandon thinks it's a space rocket town, and now he blasts off.
Jason: Oops.
Gordon: And it's not just a skunk. Because it's the redwings, Brandon gets...an octopus!
Jason: *bows* Very good.
Gordon: During the week on Millionaire, we had a whopping TWO people get to $25,000. Two out of 12.
Jason: (shudder)
Chico: Not really much cause for celebration. Not on Millionaire.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: In Vegas, though, it's a different story, as the Amazing Race reaches its heady climax.



Jason: Loved the finale. Great stuff all around.
Chico: The final leg would have these morons running up and down the Strip for a million bucks. They could've just stopped by a casino for half an hour if that were the case. =p
Jason: And doing things like meeting Elvis at a Graceland chapel.... rappelling down the side of the 65 story Mandalay Bay Hotel.... bungeeing to get a bouquet of flowers on the stage of "Love".
Gordon: Well the couples did get to play with a million dollars...sort of. They got to add them up on casino chips.
Jason: BTW...that casino chip counting challenge I was DROOLING over.
Chico: And then, the piece de resistance... Wayne Newton, MISTER... Las Vegas himself.
Jason: In Suite 88 of the MGM Grand.
Chico: The finish line... his house, the Casa de Shenandoah.
Jason: Which is a HUGE ranch in the middle of nowhere.
Gordon: I liked the fact that teams had to figure out where exactly they were going.
Chico: They always do when it comes down to this.
Gordon: I would have love to have seen some of those casino chips having pictures of the past events for the traditional memory challenge.
Chico: Maybe next Race. But you know, it makes sense this. You can't really count on past Races to determine where you're going, because you have to mix it up to keep it fresh.
Jason: The winners were Meghan and Cheyne. They dominated this race, winning 7 legs, including the last 4 in a row.
Gordon: And they did it the same way they've done it every other time - speed and smarts.
Chico: Agreed. They know that the Race, being the smartest reality game out there, you have to have BOTH.
Jason: Both Sam and Dan AND Brian and Ericka had shots to win this. They broke down in different places.
Gordon: Where would you put them in on the list of all time winners on The Amazing Race?
Chico: I'd say they're up there.
Jason: Actually behind Nick and Starr. They were THAT good.
Chico: Agreed.
Jason: Top 3 or Top 5
Chico: top 3.
Gordon: I'd go with Top 5.
Chico: Behind Nick & Starr and above Rob & Brennan. But one thing is certain... Meghan & Cheyne deserve every bit of this...



Jason: Yes.
Gordon: My Top 5 would be Nick/Starr, Rob/Brennan, BJ/Tyler, Meghan/Cheyne and Tyler/James,
Chico: That sounds about right
Jason: Yup. *nods*
Gordon: What about the Top 5 teams to NEVER have won the race?
Jason: Luke/Margie... Rob/Amber
Chico: Frank & Margarita... Blake & Paige
Gordon: And I'll say Tara/Wil to round it out.
Jason: Not bad.
Chico: There you go. We just think of these things, seriously
Gordon: Not at all. Now remember this team name - Jeff/Jordan
Chico: They're not...are they?
Gordon: Yes, they are.
Chico: ... My God they are!
Jason: They won Big Brother didn't they?
Gordon: They didn't win it, but they were a power couple on it, and now they will be on next season of The Amazing Race. Now people that come from Survivor have done VERY well on The Amazing Race. People on Big Brother...notsomuch.
Chico: *ahem* Alison & Donny
Gordon: Who came in second...to last.
Jason: Ouch.
Chico: And broke up afterwards.
Jason: Double Ouch.
Chico: As for Jeff & Jordan... well, this can only help them.
Jason: But this season and this year will give them a shot at 8 in a row
Gordon: We'll help them out on a future episode. Right now, all this talk about The Amazing Race has made me hungry.
Chico: Let's see what the Top Chefs are cooking up.
Gordon: We have...double the brothers, who happened to be the final 2 in the running.
Chico: Gordon's wrong for once!
Gordon: You know, once in a while, when the heavens align and the stars shimmer just the wrong way, I can be incorrect. Rarely, but yes, I can be incorrect.
Jason: AH! They were setting up for this all season, and they had the chops to back it up
Gordon: We'll attribute that to Kevin having a brutally bad day at the office.
Chico: Apparently so.
Gordon: If you're going to have a bad day at the office, do not let it be the last challenge. (See Carla, Casey, and other people who's name starts with a hard 'kuh' sound).
Jason: Bingo
Chico: The last challenge, though... bad day to have a bad day. A little comparison shopping. Kevin had dishes like southern fried chicken, rockfish, pork belly, and banana with chocolate bacon brittle. Now I personally think that everything's better with bacon... but... chocolate?
Gordon: Chocolate bacon is actually very very good, but you have to execute it correctly.
Chico: Right.
Jason: I have seen it done on other food shows.
Chico: Apparently it didn't work that well. The Voltaggios, though... they executed and were very creative in their execution.
Gordon: They did, and throughout the season, they were both evenly matched. They weren't necessarily crowd favorites in the personality-sense, but they were the best 2 chefs of the season.
Chico: So would you say, your favorite notwithstanding, Gordon, that the best chef won Top Chef?
Gordon: I would have been happy with any of them winning, so I'll have to say yes.
Chico: Big congratulations to Michael Voltaggio, the newest Top Chef.



Jason: There you go
Gordon: And very well-earned.
Chico: I can crank these out all day.
Gordon: Just like FOX has been cranking out episodes of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader all day.
Chico: And as a result... the final episode of season one aired... this week. Now we did the calculations at the top of the season, September 21. According to our math, we counted out 195 episodes. We calculated that all 195 shows would have aired, at a rate of 22 a week in six weeks. That would've put the season finale sometime at the middle of November. We, due to repeats, were off by a couple of weeks.: Seems to me like 20th Television put all of their eggs in one basket, and now they have nothing for the rest of the year.
Gordon: Well, if you don't have CMT, it will seem like new episodes.
Jason: You could...but still...
Chico: Of course, one can make the argument that the CMT run and the syndie run are two different runs, and what if you don't have CMT...  You could make that argument.
Gordon: And if you don't get the MNT or the syndicated runs (and some people in the U.S. don't), then you'll still have what seems like new episodes.
Chico: But let's do the math here... CMT is available in 88 million homes, or around 275 million people. That's almost 9/10 the entire country. I mean, 20th TV really mishandled this.
Gordon: Well yes and no. To be honest, you're not going to have the audience watch every episode of 5th graders like us looneys.
Jason: That's true.
Chico: Especially in primetime when something else is usually on... Survivor... how I met Your Mother.. That show with the aliens.
Gordon: The Jason Block and Jamie Grubbs Variety hour?
Chico: YEAH!
Jason: Very funny.
Chico: But for all intents and purposes... all of the episodes are out there. If you're reading these words.. chances are you've seen all of them. But if you haven't... you're in for a treat. Either way.
Gordon: So who's our last contestant for the season?
Chico: The last contestant of the season is Jennifer Betbadal. She's a newlywed and a sales manager. Now... this wasn't her final question, but it was a cute one. 3rd Grade Math:

If Mr. Foxworthy gives 1/3 of his salary to his mortgage, 1/6 to charity and 1/2 to his wife (Jeff: "That's about right"), how much does he have left to spend on new fishing gear?

Jason: 0
Chico: Correct! No fishing gear for you, Jeff Foxworthy!
Gordon: Blame the question on the recession :P
Chico: Ha. Now... Jennifer's final question for $50,0000...
Jason: yes.
Chico: 5th Grade Astronomy...

What is the name of the largest moon in our solar system?

Jason: I think it's Io.
Chico: I thought it was Titan. Gordon?
Gordon: I remember this in 5th grade. Actually, It's Ganymede.
Chico: One of us is right. That one... congratulations, Gordon, you redeemed yourself.
Gordon: I'll credit the Brain Game shows on HBO and Nickelodeon though, not school.
Chico: Jennifer said... JUPITER.... all together now...
All: JUPITER IS NOT A MOON!
Chico: So she leaves with $2500.
Gordon: Waa waaaa.
Chico: Now the big question... are we going to talk about 5th grader this time NEXT year?
Jason: Nope. I don't think so. I think they handled it all wrong from moment one.
Gordon: I think we will. The ratings warrant it. 1.8-2.2 is a very nice number for CMT and a good number in syndies. Deal or No Deal did less and it got renewed.
Chico: So it's basically a lock right now.
Gordon: I don't know about Lock, but unless the numbers drop off drastically, I think we'll see it again.
Chico: I don't see a massive dropoff happening.
Gordon: However, unless we talk jury, we won't be seeing Dave or Monica again.
Jason: Nope.



Chico: Now we had both of them go one after the other. What we didn't know was that it was going to be a double elimination and they were BOTH going to go.
Jason: Monica was an idiot.
Chico: Basically. She's BEEN an idiot. The first round started off with... bowling.
Jason: Gordon and I laughed so hard at this.
Chico: Jaison won that and won immunity. With that win, he was focused on loading the jury, basically.
Jason: Which was a SMART move.
Chico: Oh yeah.
Gordon: It's smart as long as Russell doesn't find out that's what Jaison is doing.
Chico: Russell was beginning to unravel, so his focus turned to self-preservation.
Jason: Yeah...especially at tribal #2
Chico: The only way to do that... Toe the party line, as it were. And right now, it said that Dave was going next. And he did in a sweep.
Jason: Dave was not a shock go
Chico: Nope.
Gordon: I think the problem now for Russell is that he knows people know that he is a threat.
Chico: Exactly.
Jason: Especially after he made a MAJOR mistake by showing the Idol.
Gordon: He absolutely did make a major error.
Chico: AT TRIBAL.
Gordon: So now, and Russell's 100% right on this, it's going to turn into what 2 other people can you bring with you that you think you can beat in front of the jury.
Chico: But at the same time, that facade of "innocence" and "gamesmanship"... GONE. One of two things is going to happen next.. The tribe is going to present a united front to get him voted out. That's not gonna happen.. Or Russell's going to feel the heat and play the Idol.
Gordon: Or maybe both.
Jason: Which will get him out around 3rd or 4th.
Chico: Leaving him vulnerable next round (when he finds the idol again).
Gordon: I don't think they are going to re-hide the Idol again.
Chico: Heh.
Jason: He will not get into the jury round the way he played it this week.
Gordon: I think the game is getting the better of Russell. The key to having power is to have other people think you have it. This could be a meltdown of major proportions.
Chico: This is either the dumbest move he could make to ensure a quick exit... or the smartest to ensure that makes it to the final three. The moves made next week will be CRITICAL. Has the flying fickle finger of fate finally thrust its furious phallus at Frussell?
Jason: Maybe
Gordon: The next vote will be easy enough. THEN at 5, it gets interesting.
Chico: To say the least.
Jason: How easy do you mean?
Chico: Well, obviously with Russell's immunity, he's not a factor until the round after. The Foa Foas are going to band to get rid of Brett, the last remaining Galu (not counting Shambo). Then, chop the head off the sucker. Because he can't use it afterwards. THAT's how fricking easy it is. We'll see if that's how it works this week. Now how easy is it to ground an Air Force base commander? The answer, if your name is Jove Graham: VERY. He becomes a giant killer by toppling Cmdr. Dave Belote. Simplest trick in the book... make sure he's not leading going to Final.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: Jove did that with $17,800 to Dave's $17,200. Dave's in a sticky spot. Not only is this not a runaway, and not only is he behind... he has to protect himself from a possible spoil from the third player: Sarah Weinschenk. This is the clue to decide it... the category... Famous Americans.

His collection of books suffered disastrous fires at the home called Shadwell in 1770 & at the Library of Congress in 1851.

Chico: Okay... Gordon, I always enjoy your responses, let's hear it
Gordon: Who is Hugh Hefner?
Chico: ... That... didn't make any sense.
Jason: He is older than dirt.
Chico: Ah. Now I get it.
Jason: And he has a lot of books
Chico: Some of them stuck together. OH!
Gordon: If all those..um...art books went up in smoke, that would be a national disaster, wouldn't it?
Jason: The real answer is...WHO IS THOMAS JEFFERSON?
Chico: That.. .is correct! Jove is correct to make $34,401. That'll buy his way to the Girls Next Door mansion. Unfortunately he can't make any more. Because what happens when you are labeled a giant killer?
Gordon: You get knocked off the next day?
Chico: Yep. And that's what happened when Leigh Rosenecker came to town. Then she gets knocked off by Siobhan McKinney... then Eve the Cat is preparing to knock her off next... Followed by Cooper the Mole and his burrowing skills.... Followed by J-Fat and Chenbot and their massive furball... it's going to turn into one Jeopardy! circus before long.
Gordon: Its a hamster eat dog world, isn't it?
Chico: Hamster eat cat eat dog.
Gordon: Before this gets too ugly, 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: Thank you, Doug. Hey Gordon!
Gordon: Yeeees Chico?
Chico: I brought me a friend.



Jason: Aaah! DAMMIT dont do that! At least warn me
Chico: He likes you, J.
Jason: I know. *shudder*
Gordon: But he's so cute with the menorah embedded in his skull.
Chico: Eight Crazy Nights... of the Living Dead.
Gordon: It's his way of saying Happy Hanukkah.
Jason: Ha.

It's the end of the "World" as we know it, and CBS feels fine. CBS has set the final episode of "As the World Turns" for September 2010.

Jason: And the up cycle of game shows is complete.
Chico: Lots of variables went into this, the least not being a) declining ratings for ATWT, and 2) improving ratings for LMAD.
Gordon: We'll be talking a lot more about this next week, but this could start a new day time game show craze. If I'm Michael Davies with my Million Dollar Pyramid pilot, I'm drooling right now.
Chico: If I'm Michael Davies, I'm mopping up this drool, then I'm pounding the pavement. All I'm saying is do not be surprised. I'm just sayin'. But we'll go into depth next week. Meanwhile, we also have a greenlight. Shine the light, Augie! (TURNS THE LIGHT ON) That's a good festering bleeding hideous monster...
Gordon: He's sort of waxy now, too.

It seems like GSN's been casting for "Honey Please" for... ever. Well, they finally have a go-date.  The show, now titled "Hidden Agenda", will begin January 14.

Chico: People set up their partners to do crazy things for fun and profit. Now I've seen something... a little similar to this... that leads me to believe... that this will not work.
Jason: This has Augustus's stink all over it.
Gordon: Do you think that we have obliviously seen this before? Or do you think this is all a game show in your head?
Jason: That's the one.
Chico: Now you're on.
Jason: I was think the Spike TV show Oblivious
Chico: That was ... and CBS' "Game Show in My Head" ... and Nick's "You're On!" That's the joke.
Gordon: But wait, I have more green lights!
Chico: Mooore?
Gordon: I do. Hey Chico? You see that bubble pit filled with plastic dreidels and chocolate tzedaka candy?
Jason: Oy
Chico: Yes. Yes I do.
Gordon: (Hands a crash helmet to Chico and Jason)
Chico: I'm not even going to wait on this. *jumps into bubble pit*

On January 4th we have Conveyor Belt of Love, where women select guys from a conveyor belt. The day before, VH1 brings us 'Frank The Entertainer...in a Basement Affair', which feature Frank dating 15 women in his parent's apartment.

Jason: WOOO! (Jumps into the bubble pit)
Chico: Yeah, that felt better.
Gordon: I think I may cover this just to torment Chico, who'll have to read it.
Jason: Thank goodness Conveyor Belt of Love is a one time only special. They should add SUSHI in front of it.
Gordon: As for the other new show, It's nice to see VH1, who earlier on this year had to deal with the whole Ryan Jenkins mess, is turning to more wholesome entertainment :P
Chico: Hey... His momma's there.
Gordon: So that makes it all right.
Jason: Suuuuuure
Chico: Ha. That's in the future. What's up this week... besides Survivor ending?
Gordon: On this week's Datebook...

Survivor ends this Sunday. Starting on Monday, we have The Sing-Off and Bank of Hollywood.

Chico: One of these shows will be genuinely entertaining to watch.  The other... is the Sing Off. Not for lack of trying, though. I mean, I love a cappella. Straight No Chaser's coming to Raleigh and I have tickets.
Jason: BOO YAH.
Chico: But I think we're going to see a lot of people who are too straight faced AND straight laced.
Gordon: This is Clash of the Choirs with no big name talent. I sense this slushing down the ratings tube.
Chico: In order to pull off a cappella sensibly. You have to take the music seriously... but you can't take YOURSELF seriously. Look at the best groups out there... Straight No Chaser... Rockapella... Manhattan Transfer... Five O'Clock Shadow... *ahem*theUNCAchordants. I HAD TO!
Gordon: And none of them are in the public consciousness.
Chico: Straight No Chaser IS in the public consciousness. Thanks, Youtube. But yeah. It'll be interesting to see if they work... but I'm a hardass when it comes to this thing. I'm going to be a tough crowd. Even tougher than Gordon when Idol airs.
Gordon: After the ratings come out, the groups may all want to get fully loaded.
Chico: Hic.
Jason: HIc
Chico: Double.

If you're getting that special someone a Wii, you may want to think about including the Project Runway game with it.

Jason: (writes this down)

OR if you're getting that special someone an iPod touch or an iPhone, you may want to include 5th Grader 2010 with it.

Jason: DROOL
Chico: Again... DOUBLE.
Jason: I want an Ipod Touch
Chico: You know you want one. I heart my iPhone. It's like having a Mac in your pants.
Gordon: What about an iDumb?
Chico: You not dumb, Gordon. You smart.
Gordon: what about a uDumb?
Chico: I not dumb either.  But iSee where uGoing with this.

Are YOU Smarter than...Lois Giancola and Matthew Mundt, who both contribute to our first DOUBLE OVERBID of the season on The Price is Right.

Chico: Showcase #1...

Sand buggy, Trip to Oregon, Jeep Wrangler Sport.

Chico: BID NOW!
Jason: $20,000
Gordon: $30,069.
Chico: The price... $31,053. Lois' bid: 32,561
Gordon: (OVERBID HORN)
Chico: Showcase #2....

Storage sofa, Luggage, Salvatore Ferragamo blazer, Tickets to a "Mediteranean cruise". Spelling Fail.

Gordon: I think Matthew overbid on this one because he didn't want it.
Chico: If he wanted to do that, he would've went REALLY overboard with it. You know what they say; if you're going to be a cat, be a tiger.
Jason: $25,000
Gordon: And btw, 'Mediteranean' is actually spelled 'MediterRanean'.
Jason: Yes. Bad spelling error.
Gordon: $18,069
Chico: Matt bid $25,500. Actual price.. $18,977. DOUBLE overbid. Believe it or not, there's something WORSE than that this week, isn't there, G?
Gordon: There always is. BTW, this show only had 1 winner, so we were one win away from a complete skunk.
Chico: Or as we call it.. a total washout
Gordon: I've got some Haterade. Want some?
Jason: I do (in warm thermal mug).
Chico: Me too
Jason: Does it taste as good warm or cold?
Gordon: I dunno...

We start with Adam Lambert. You don't think his antics had a backlash? His album sales plunges 75% in sales and drops 32 spots on the Billboard 200.

Jason: it will come back. "What Do you Want from Me", the 2nd single, is doing well on the charts.
Chico: Now a sophomore week slump is to be expected, but still... DAMN.
Jason: Yup.
Gordon: But this is a Double Header, right?

Alison Iraheta's debut album...35,000 Units. It gets beaten out by the Soundtrack to 'Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel'.

Chico: Oh boy.
Jason: DAMN! Wow.
Chico: With the Chipettes singing "All the Single Ladies"
Jason: Wow. Just wow.
Gordon: People like The Chippettes more than Allison Iraheta, who I had no idea how she placed in 4th to begin with.
Chico: Right
Jason: Again...
Chico: DAMN.
Jason: You have to publicize yourself.
Chico: Maybe she could blow up overseas.
Gordon: And just for funsies, we'll throw in Kris Allen plummeting from 11 to 52 on his second week on the charts.
Chico: His single's doing well, though. The single always does better than the album.
Jason: Its a marathon, not a sprint.
Chico: Weird, isn't it? Okay, this week, TWO trips. First up, how's your Swedish?

Wheel of Fortune is set to relaunch in Sweden. Bork bork bork.

Jason: YAY!
Gordon: Ya, Jason. Ya.
Jason: Ya. Ya,
Chico: From Sweden, we go to Russia.
Jason: Da.

ABC and Merv Griffin Entertainment are looking to import "The Six", which is basically what would happen if you combined Wheel of Fortune with "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays".

Chico: "The Six" is based on the long-running Russian game "What, where, when"
Gordon: I like the idea for Summer programming. Not against the big boys though
Jason: I feel meh about it
Chico: Definitely a summer show. Last time they tried to put a summer show on during the regular season, we got Duel. Greenie was good in it, but stilll.... We always have to preface any conversation with Duel with that statement for some reason.
Gordon: The problem was the show itself.
Chico: Right. You see the same thing happening with the Six?
Jason: I do.
Gordon: We'll see if they can do any better with this. Meanwhile, I can see 6 media hoes.
Chico: (plays "Pimpin All Over the World")

Ellen Degeneres shows up during Hollywood Week on American Idol, Randy Jackson and his Dance Crews get renewed, Ethan Zohn is cancer-free...

Jason: Praise be for Ethan
Chico: Nice

Vernon Kay takes a pay cut to remain on Family Fortunes, Nicole Scherzinger is a Sing-Off judge, and Shayne Lamas pleads no contest to her DUI charge. There, that's 6.

Gordon: But none of them are the ho of the week.
Jason: Who is?
Gordon: It's Adam Lambert, who's a very busy puppy this week. He's slated to perform at the finale of So You Think You Can Dance...AND...He WILL be performing on the View, ending his boycott with ABC.
Chico: Yay. I guess. On one hand, that season of SYTYCD should never have happened. On the other hand.... It's the View. Think about it.
Gordon: And those...are your hoes.
Chico: And that's Brainvision. Jason, please.
Jason: Shutting down
Chico: Still to come, we've double loaded the John Davidson Time Machine with enough time fuel to get us to TWO years. We're starting with 2006 first.
Gordon: Then we go to 2007 with a trip to the arts.
Chico: This is WLTI. You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you three-part harmony... Ahem... *singing low* Hoover...
Jason: *slightly higher* Hoover...
Gordon: *higher still* Hoover!
Chico: "YOU SUCK! GET OUT!"
Jason: ROFL

(Brainvision is powered by Eight Crazy Nights of the Living Dead, starring Adam Sandler and Augustus the Game Show Zombie Stripper. In theatres this week.)
