Jason: Oh boy.
Gordon: Hellga. Sounds like a man.
Chico: Kabuki Quantum Fighter, anyone?
Joe: Huh?
Chico: Old NES game. Look it up.
Jason: That's wrong, Chico. Just wrong.
Don: I actually heard of that game years ago.
Chico: That's not all that's wrong, J.
Gordon: Hellga sounding like a man is wrong, but I bet Chico has a bunch of things even more wrong. Don't you, Chico?
Chico: Oh yeah, including what may be the most wrong thing we've ever had doing this game.
Jason: Really?
Chico: Really.
Gordon: Really? We've had a lot of wrong things before.
Jason: I am looking forward to this.
Chico: First up...

Whole idea of "Duel" vs. "Clash of the Choirs". Forcing us to choose.

4 ||||

Chico: Remember, It's on a scale of one to 15.
Gordon: 6. Not just wrong, but stupid.
Jason: Honestly...it's been Done before. 5 shades. And yes, it's dumb.
Joe: 2.  It's television.  It's not like it's AI or Survivor
Don: 4.
Joe: Watch one, TiVo the other if it's that big of a problem.
Chico: 3. I happen to agree with Joe on this one. It's just the way people think. Of course that is to assume that said people think in the first place.
Gordon: Yes, but you want to raise the ratings, not dilute both shows by putting the new stuff against each other
Chico: Yes sir. TiVoing both, sir.
Joe: It may also be that I Don't give two shakes about the choirs. 8)
Jason: Me neither. But thats another story.
Chico: Oh well. Next up.
Gordon: Next,,,

An English teacher misspelling "Octagon" on Crosswords.

5 |||||

Gordon: How did he spell it?
Chico: OCTAGEN.
Gordon: 8, for the number of sides on an Octagen...err...Octagon
Jason: Honestly...1. Pressure on TV, it happens. This is nothing.
Chico: That's true.
Joe: 5 for irony.
Don: Wow.  Just... wow.  I'll go 6.
Chico: I'll take 4. It's part a trick of the lights and part nerves, so... yeah. Next...

A woman calls Drew Carey "Bob"... TWICE... on the same show.

4 ||||

Jason: Ok...this is much wrong....8. Get with the program. Drew is the host....not Bob.
Joe: is the different from the moronic college d00d who called him Bob?
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: 3. Now THAT'S nerves...and force of habit. I’m sure she was idolizing the moment with Bob. She's not the only person who has done it during Drew's run.
Don: 4.  Considering Bob had been the host for 35 seasons, not to mention the nerves...
Chico: Bout right. 3.
Joe: 3.  She was on auto-pilot
Chico: Oh yeah
Joe: Moronic College D00d would've gotten higher
Don: Indeed.
Gordon: Agreed. Next one?
Chico: We'll have him on a future edition. Next...

Hulk vs. Rosie.

3 |||

Gordon: 3 for Rosie. not only is this normal for her, she's actually the one NOT being the antagonist. I'm siding with her on this one.
Jason: 2. Yawn. I Dont care.
Don: 3.  Meh.
Gordon: As for Hogan...7. Maybe he needs some sort of extra-curricular activity.
Joe: 1 for everyone, especially since a) once the show starts no one will care and b) I'd be more worried about the production team's decisions than two bags of hot air
Chico: Just a couple of media hoes.. whatever. 3.
Joe: Remember, this brings attention to AG, which means it's "good" pub.
Gordon: I rate Hogan’s higher because when I say Hulk Hogan, there are 5 things that come to mind - and none of them are American Gladiators Host.
Jason: Ex Wrestler, Steroid User, Thunder in Paradise, Rocky III, divorce. Need me to go on.
Joe: He was on Ellen wasn't he? The sitcom, not the talkie
Chico: I Don't know.
Gordon: Something like that. And Gladiators needs GOOD press, not the host going off on people that have nothing to do with the show.
Joe: He was on something playing a gubernatorial candidate back when that was topical. People might still think he's a guber....
Gordon: or Goober.
Chico: Or something
Gordon: or Boober.
Chico: Or Tuber. Mmm.. tubers.
Jason: Thank you...
Gordon: Maybe it’s the Steroids and HGH causing the wild mood swings.
Jason: Allegedly
Chico: Okay, next.

Speaking of... The Mitchell Report

8 ||||||||

Jason: Honestly....8. I am not saying the people didn’t do what they did. But I trust Canseco's book more than I do this. Canseco had this Done.
Joe: 8's about the max, although Mitchell's right about what he didn't get.
Don: Yeah, 8 sounds about right.
Gordon: I trust this. However, to only have 80 names when there were over 100 notated in baseball reports? Fishy. 10, becuase its only the tip of the iceberg.
Chico: Yeah. 8 sounds about right. It's perfectly legit, butut it reads like a list of enemies he made during high school.
Jason: This will only get worse before it gets better.
Gordon: I find it wrong that neither Major League Baseball nor the Union helped him with the report. I think they both have a lot to hide
Joe: Yeah, they think the barn door's closed, but the horse is long gone
Chico: Yep.
Gordon: I agree with Jason. If they really wanted it fixed, they would have come clean, instead of hiding. Baseball used to be my favorite sport - and it should be, but now that no one's coming clean, it's now football, with bowling second… and baseball a ....long...and distant third.
Jason: To paraphrase the Bard...."This report is a tale of sound and fury signifying nothing.” Everyone thinks they have done something. Nothing has been done.
Chico: All we've proven were things that we know already. That there's a problem in baseball and it needs to be fixed.
Joe: Well, they have done something, it's just that there's no real long-run impact
Gordon: I want suspensions. I want admissions. And I want HGH testing. The stuff is out there. Spend the money and fix the system.
Joe: Let's start with plain old accountability, then we can figure out which book to throw at whom.
Chico: Yeah, good luck finding people who'll take responsibility for that.
Jason: You notice that Barry Bonds never sued the writers of Game of Shadows...hmmmm?
Chico: Heh. And finally...
Gordon: Last one...
Chico: Okay, and finally... remember at the top of this act that I may have the most wrong thing in this game's history?
Jason: Yes.
Chico: Here it is.
Jason: Is this it?
Don: Oh, boy...
Jason: Here we go.

There's a clip of "Whammy! Push Your Luck" on Youtube. Whammy! of course, is the Filipino version of the 2002 American show of the similar name.

10 ||||||||||

Jason: Right
Chico: And here... is the clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thzDa5W4jo4
Gordon: Not the worst thing  ever in this group (I can think of 2 things worse), but easily the worst thing in this edition. 12.
Joe: Am I looking for anything in particular?
Chico: Just the whole package.
Jason: Ok...seriously...that was a big tease.....5. It's Whammy...Filipino style.
Chico: It goes on a bit. There's the rest of the episode online as well.
Don: The fact that they appear to be using Whammy animations from the 2002 U.S. version (I just saw the Whamzilla one) is cool to me.
Chico: I have to say, between the crowd cheering... the superfluous female host... and the piss poor production values (a cheap board and recycled Whammys)... I thought it was a bit weird. 11.
Gordon: Just goes to show you that one man's Whammy is another man's Big Bucks.
Jason: Exactly.
Joe: I've never understood Filipino television, nor the language
Chico: And if you're going to do Double Whammys, make them relevant. Don't just dump random stuff on them.
Don: Agreed there. I'll say 12.
Jason: Maybe I just need more wrongness.
Chico: You're too well-adjusted, J.
Gordon: So while we go find Jason some wrong, we go to break.
Chico: We'll be back to finish our Chrismukkus shopping after this.
