Jason: Are the Bee Sharps entered?
Chico: Yes. Yes they are. I've entered all of you as well... J, you can be our bass man.
Jason: Got it.
Gordon: Very cool. I'll enter the Hamsters. You enter what presents should be given out to our famous guests.
Chico: Be happy to.
Gordon: We start with...

The Writer's Guild of America. Please give them something so they can be happy this Christmas

Jason: Money. Lots of Money. And a new contract.
Chico: How about some ... yeah, what J said.
Don: Yeah, cash sounds like one of the only things that'll make them happy.
Joe: How to Capitalize on Internet Piracy written by the RIAA
Gordon: I'll give them a You Tube 100% Internet Royalty Contract
Chico: Chapter 1) Scout Youtube. Chapter 2... Chapter 3, Profit.
Joe: Smarter employers might help, too
Gordon: Next one...

The AMPTP. OK, this one may be considerably harder.

Joe: A stick remover.  To help remove their sticks.
Gordon: And where are the sticks located?
Jason: I was thinking a head remover. Same place where the sticks are.
Chico: How about a few DVDs of Flavor of Love 2... That'll get them to bargaining.
Joe: Same purpose
Jason: Or maybe a clue.
Jason: Maybe that will help.
Don: How about a But Can They Sing DVD?
Jason: Are you sure thats covered under the Geneva Convention?
Gordon: I got it. A Complete double feature of The One and The Will.
Chico: ... "We'll give you whatever you want, just no more!"
Joe: It's not waterboarding is it?
Don: LOL
Gordon: Next one...

Nigel Lythgoe. He needs Idol to be a hit. Give him something that will make him feel better.

Jason: A viewing of Season 5. Thats how to do it son.
Joe: The first six DVD's of Full Moon wo Sagashite.....and some direction
Gordon: I'll go with the results of the state talent searches - dropped off at the Hollywood Round.
Chico: Seasons 1 and 2. Those were diamond.
Gordon: Next one...

Rossi Moreale. Temptation...not so good. Give him an Instant Bargain.

Chico: A decent format for a change.
Jason: An out on his contract, and a new hosting gig.
Joe: An internship at G4.
Chico: Perhaps something on basic cable, yeah. Seriously, for all the crap we dish out on Temptation... Rossi's not that darn bad.
Don: A better Fame Game.  Ditch the WoF Toss-Up thing, bring back the old set of 9 faces.
Jason: Oh and a Ginger Sampson voodoo doll.
Gordon: A trip to  Australia, where he can see the original Temptation and see how it's really supposed to be Done.
Chico: Did a trip to Australia start this whole fracas to begin with. That's where they shot the pilot.
Gordon: Maybe they can find a new EP and a budget down there this time.
Chico: I hear the EP of their Temptation isn't doing much nowadays.
Gordon: And that's another thing. Have you ever watched the opening and seen $40,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in the opening graphic? Where's that in the show??!!?!?
Jason: In the EP's wallet maybe.
Gordon: There you go.
Chico: That should've been in the 15 Shades.
Don: Heh.
Gordon: lol. What would you have given it? That gets a 13 from me
Jason: Temptation overall...14. Really bad.
Gordon: I’m talking about the opening graphic
Jason: The graphic is good. Just lying....10
Chico: 15
Don: 12.
Chico: Never mind that the package was garish to begin with.

Gordon: Next one....

James. Not one, but 2 immunity idols. Yet, he doesn't use either of them. Give him some love.

Joe: One word: Braaaaaaaaaaains
Chico: Your very own comfy pair of Uggz to kick yourself with.
Gordon: A hole so he can bury his head in shame?
Jason: A skeleton. It has a backbone. You didn't.
Don: An extra immunity idol; one that he can really take home with him to remind him of what he did ...or didn't do.
Gordon: Seriously, a casino table where he and Jean Robert can play some poker. He can use the gambling skills.
Chico: And ANOTHER chance to lose a million bucks.
Gordon: Make it 3 chances, since he will be on Survivor All-Stars 2: Electric Boogaloo. Last one...

Hans (which Drew finally called by his correct name) on Cliff Hangers. Also known as Mr. Yodelly Man, and a variety of other names. He has earned his keep as one of the first games Drew hosted, and has been used quite frequently. Make him feel like he earned a promotion.

Chico: How about giving him a raise.
Gordon: He gets that on a daily basis :P.
Jason: A trip to Switzerland....and a hot female yodeler named Heidi.
Joe: Make him feel like he earned a raise?  Elevate the platform?
Chico: A date ... with Hellga.
Don: Plenty of first-aid kits, in case of contestants not doing well in the game.
Gordon: I have the perfect item.
Chico: Let's hear it
Joe: Rope?
Gordon: A...Golden Parachute.
Jason: That....works.
Chico: From the Golden Angels. The 82nd's jump team.
Gordon: There you go. And that ends Presents.
Chico: We're almost Done with the show. Just one more break. And here it comes.

(Brought to you by GSNN's Duel. Who will win? The Chairman? The Haterade? The Cuckoo Clock? The Donut? The Cat Boy?)

Jason: My odds are on the Clock.
Gordon: Nah. He's an old fart.
Joe: I vote Pat Buchanan.
Chico: The blonde with the nice rack... oh wait. She's hosting.
Gordon: She can fondle my chips.
Chico: I was referring to a generic Quiznation (now defunct) host. 1) Female. 2) Blonde
Jason: lol
Chico: 3) Has a nice rack.
Joe: Oh, you mean Jessica
Chico: Bingo. Okay, welcome back. Quick programming note. IF you haven't set your TiVos yet... Last chance. Duel. Clash of the Choirs. We'll wait for you to set your TiVos... (waiting...)
Jason: Done.
Chico: *checks watch* Okay, there you are. ALSO. Check us out on December 31 with the big WLTI Year-End Special.  Most year-end specials conveniently leave out the last two weeks.. Not the WLTI Year-End Special.
Gordon: No. When we're done, we leave out the first 2 weeks...usually...but not because of the strike. We will not be taking a break this year. And we do it for you guys.
Chico: And breathe. Okay, Big Finish time.
Gordon: Survivor - who wins?
Chico: Amanda.
Jason: Consensus is Amanda.
Gordon: Amanda
Don: Amanda.
Joe: China.  Viewers come in 2nd cuz it ends
Gordon: Next Great American Band. Who wins?
Jason: Who cares?
Chico: Come on Sixwire.
Joe: The RIAA
Chico: On second thought... Joe wins.
Gordon: I like Sixwire too. Next Smartest Model. Who wins?
Gordon: I'll say VJ
Chico: I'm going for Ivan Drago on this one
Jason: Who was the guy who beat up the women?
Gordon: Andre… Ivan Drago
Jason: Andre needs to get over himself. Just saying.
Chico: I've been saying that for weeks now.
Gordon: I Love New York 2. Who wins...or cares?
Jason: Not me.
Chico: Not I, said the bald one.
Don: Don't care.
Chico: Here's a better question. Who wins: Duel or Clash?
Jason: Duel
Gordon: Duel, though I'll be watching Clash
Joe: Duel
Chico: Duel.
Don: Yeah, Duel.
Jason: I think we will be talking about this one for  a bit.
Chico: I'll watch that, and TiVo Clash. Come on, Greenie.
Chico: BTW: confidential to Alex Davis... My video is STILL loading. From Duel's site at ABC.com
Gordon: We'll be chatting a lot on it next week, I'm sure. We love to chat on the emails, too
Chico: Sure do.
Chico: Pick one out, let's talk on it.
Gordon: We start with John Lee. Thanks, John!

Chico: Thanks for the tip, John. I honestly didn't know that. See, learn something new.
Gordon: Next up.. Douglas Crenshaw Jr. Thanks, Doug!

Jason: I think that is Joe Van Ginkel, correct?
Gordon: That would be a Van Ginkel.
Chico: Thanks, Doug. That is our good friend Joe Van Ginkel.
Gordon: You've seen him on our site, and he's one of the good guys.
Chico: He frequents the Price very much. He's good people.
Jason: He is a huge price fan and loyal friend to GSNN and WLTI
Chico: Very much so. We hope to see him on a future ep of Crosswords. And we hope he owns the crap out of people.
Jason: Damn skippy.
Gordon: Next email is from Geoff McCall. Thanks, Geoff!

Chico: Wow. Pretty lofty undertaking.
Jason: Well,.... I guess I am not that much of a name, huh?
Gordon: Uh...no. I would say that you can get the contact info from either imdb.com or most databases.
Chico: Or Wikipedia.
Gordon: Also - Myspace. You may laugh, but most hosts also double up as comics (Drew, Howie, Bob Saget, etc.) and they all have MySpace pages. They do read the stuff and they will respond.
Jason: Facebook as well.
Chico: Hope this helps.
Gordon: And if you are interested in someone who won over $150,000 on game shows and is a damn good host, email us for Jason Block's contact.
Jason: Thank you Gordon. Appreciate the props.
Chico: Okay, more mail from John Moss. Thanks, John!

Jason: it all comes down, to board status and stones.
Chico: A lot of people will have the board, but not many people will have the stones, as .. oh.. nine people proved. They're pretty much talking it up for the cameras. "I know I have the million. It's here!" "Gosh, now I'm not so sure..." "TAKE THE DEAL, WHAT ARE YOU STUPID?!"
Jason: "I should have stayed. I knew I had it."
Chico: And so on, and so forth.
Jason: Yada Yada...etc.
Chico: If you know you have the million, you play it. You play it to the end.
Don: So much talk, not enough backing it up.
Gordon: I'm also sure that the producers make them say that sort of stuff as well.
Chico: You think so?
Gordon: People not saying anything and leaving dead space is not very TV conducive.
Jason: Producers think the real drama isn't enough. Sad but true.
Chico: No. Treasure Hunt was all real, BTW.
Gordon: It’s all about risk taking. We have said this before when the Subway Hero went for it. If you go for it with no safety net and miss, you’re a moron. If you're right, you've got guts. No one ever says, 'well he won it, but he's an idiot for going for it'. It's all about results.
Jason: That's it
Chico: Thanks, John. And thank you for reading.
Gordon: I got one more email before we sign off.
Chico: ok
Gordon: This is from Daniel Benfield. Thanks, Daniel!

Jason: Vanna technically could.
Gordon: Can - Yes. Will - Doubt it.
Jason: Dont think so.
Chico: Nah, I think she's busy with something

Chico: Haven't heard anything. We were just playing off of the What if... so much as I know
Gordon: The reason why we bring it up is because Alex is hitting the magical age of 65. Also adding to that is the heart attacks and you would think that it may be sooner than later that he hangs it up, but we don't know anything on it. Just speculation.

Jason: Don't be surprised if you hear Jeff Probst's named bandied about. That's also speculation.

Gordon: Crap, crap, crappity crap.
Jason: Dreck.
Chico: I was honestly trying to forget it.

Gordon: Since we don't have a last name, no.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: No idea.
Gordon: My brother watched an episode of Temptation and thought it was accurate to the 1983-1989 Sale of The Century (based on the clips I had shown him). I had to explain to him the many differences.

Jason: Choir, meet preacher.
Gordon: Not by a heck of a lot.
Chico: Better is still better.
Gordon: So the Schwab upgrades from bikini to wedding dress. It's still hideous.
Chico: That, in the world of science... is called... progress. Still waiting for the magical week when we see it crack 1.1. We just jumped 10%. Wee!
Jason: That will be cool.
Gordon: That will happen in the year 2031.
Chico: I'm thinking it'll happen sooner than later.
Gordon: 2021?
Chico: *makes 'lower' hand motion*
Jason: I am willing to put money that it happens before May.
Gordon: GSN in repeats?
Jason: 1.1 is not far from 0.9. The show is doing better and will get a season 2.
Chico: I'd like to say so, yeah. Okay, that's all we have time for. Gordon...if the people out there want to talk to us, what do they do?
Gordon: We've got email. wlti@gameshownewsnet.com or wltiongsnn on MySpace. We try to answer everything that we get (within sane reason, of course). People who send us Egg Nog certificates have a much better chance of getting their email answered on our show live.
Jason: Mmmmmm...egg nog
Chico: Nummy. With that, we thank Jason Block, Don Harpwood, and Joe Mello for hanging out.
Don: Always nice to hang out.
Jason: Always fun. The password is thanks.
Chico: For Gordon Pepper and everyone at Game Show Newsnet, I'm Chico Alexander, and until next time... Game over... and spread the cheer
Jason: Ho Ho Ho!
