INK MASTER Spike - January 17
	CHICO	GORDON	JASON	PUSH
	PUSH	PASTRY	PASTRY

Chico: I'm going to give it a push. Dave Navarro knows his ink.
Jason: Pastry. Not sure...but I might like it.
Gordon: Pastry. He knows his Ink. I don't know if Spike knows their audience
Chico: Okay, that's a break. We'll finish this list in the new year. But first, a break, then final words...

(Brought to you by Grizzlebee's Winter Wonderland! We start with some Wait Wait don't tell Meat pies, with some Billy on the Sweet potatoes on the side, then garnish it with some Bacon Bachelor Spinach salad. Finally, we have Wait Wait donuts for desert. Grizzlebees! You wish you had less fun!)

Chico: Woo hoo!
Jason: WOOT
Chico: I heart Grizzlebees.
Jason: Me too.
Gordon: I heart a Speed Round...which we usually have, but the end of the year is always saved for a final thought on the year. Jason, please start
Jason: 2011 Brought an amazing load of good and bad game show news. You guys made us the about.com fan site of the year for a reason. We love the shows, and we love to cover them. We have been doing this for a long time. And 2012 is going to be no different. We love the people, we love the shows. I personally thank you for an amazing year here at GSNN. Health, happiness, and to an amazing 2012!
Chico: Thank you. Gordon?
Gordon: The word that I have is stale. 2012 has some nice moments, but it's more of the same. The contestants are great as always, and so are our fans, but I haven't seen the originality or spark that there's been in previous years. We're getting more of the same types of shows, and although that's nice, it's the trend setters that continue to move the genre and we didn't have that this year. Come on guys. I know you can do better. I keep seeing a lot of reviews of 'We've seen this before'. Challenge yourselves and give us something we haven't. You have a history of doing such. Now do it again. Chico, the last word is yours.
Chico: There's been a lot of bad and a lot of good, but the good we had was spectacular. The only thing I can offer up is this... To anyone who is creating or even thinking about creating a game show out there... do not discount your audience for anything. These are the people that drive your show. Your success or failure ride on their shoulders. Listen to them. Develop FOR them. It's an old axiom, but it still rings true. If you build it, they will come. If you build it well, they will stay. Take a look at the Feud. Steve Harvey made the show his own and people embraced it. If you trust your audience, your patience will be well rewarded. Also, a big thank you to all the players... all the fans... all the people who made us who we are. We live for the game and we live for you and we're living because of you. And one more note before we close out. 2012 is a very special year for us, in regards to this show. We're going to be celebrating all year long, but in October 12, 2012, this show, WLTI, will turn 10 years old. And we COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
Jason: (applause)
Chico: So there you are. 2012, the Year of the Fan. We're bringing it back. Because YOU matter.
Gordon: Thank you all for reading us. For our special guest Jason Block and Chico, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Game Over - and Spread the love.
Chico: And have a happy and prosperous new year.
