Jason H.: It'll be heaps awesome, mate!
Chico: Speaking of which, it's game time and Gordon's first.
Gordon: I am first and we start with Number Please. I give you a number, You tell me what it's connected To. Ready?
Don: Ready.

Joe: # of episodes that Skating with Celebrities lasted?
Jason B.: I go with Don.
Mike: Number of complaints filed by groups against AI this week
Gordon: Mike is close - but not right.
Chico: Right answer, please.
Gordon: The answer is - the number of judges that stuck around to hear the last singer in North Carolina. Is there trouble brewing or is it just Simon being Simon?
Jason B.: Simon's being Simon.
Chico: It's just Simon being Simon.
Joe: Maybe he had to take a whizz.
Jason B.: even men get their periods.
Chico: I like this guy. He gets paid an exorbitant amount of money to be an (^_^)hole.
Gordon: And people want him to do it.
Mike: Gordon wishes he could get that gig.
Gordon: I do actually. Next number...

4

Joe: Number of Wheel Bonus wins this week
Mike: Number of off-camera rampages by Jeff Conaway in a single episode of Celebrity Fit Club 3
Chico: I'll go with Joe on this one. NFL Wheel was scary easy.
Jason H.: Hmm...
Joe: Wednesday and Thursday had moderately difficult bonus puzzles, though
Don: # of players on WWTBAM on Monday?
Jason B.: Number of tribes in Survivor: Exile Island this coming Thursday.
Jason H.: I'll go # of couples now gone on Dancing
Chico: Wow. It could be anything.
Joe: I thought that was the point
Jason H.: It could be!
Gordon: Jason got it, actually
Jason B.: Yes!
Jason H.: YES
Don: Wait, which Jason?
Jason H.: Both of us!
Joe: TWO JASONS?! Which one is the real one?
Jason H.: Good job, Jason! LMAO
Jason B.: I am the real Jason!
Gordon: I'll..uhhh...give it to both of you. We'll start with 4 is the number of Tribes in the NEW Survivor. Will that change the dynamics?
Jason B.: It might.
Jason H.: I think it will.
Don: It's possible.
Jason B.: They are playing off everything the critics have been saying for year.
Joe: (^_^) may hit the fan faster and more often, so I guess
Chico: It's gotten too staid, even with the changes year to year?
Gordon: I do like the changes. I think it could be fun. Now as for the 4 couples gone, let's look at the remaining 6. Are those the best 6?
Chico: Yes. Yes they are.
Joe: Anything's better than P
Chico: Best six. All that (^_^) down cold.
Jason H.: Definitely. Absolutely the best 6 are left.
Gordon: Next Number -

Joe: # of remaining Bachelorettes?
Gordon: Actually, there's only 6 Bachelorettes remaining
Joe: Damn
Jason H.: # of days until Balance Game debuts
Chico: Yeah, New Balance Game!
Mike: # of people who were defeated on Jeopardy last week.
Jason B.: The anniversary of NFL Players week which just ended.
Joe: The # of gamblers left on King of Vegas
Gordon: Joe is right - but he doesn't count because that's his second guess.
Chico: Heh..
Joe: But I'm the frikkin recapper!
Gordon: Well, then you should have thought about it before answering. Rookie.
Joe: Man, first it's Todd Newton, now it's semantics I just can't win ><
Gordon: There are 10 people left, and all of the heavies are still around. You've seen the show for 2 weeks. Favorites?
Chico: Matsuow!!!
Mike: Yes, Matusow!
Chico: Sorry, channelling Akira there...
Gordon: I hate to say this but I agree with Chico. Mike Matusow as a favorite in anything? Yikes!
Mike: I have a feeling it'll be Einiger and Matusow. Please no Dave Stann.
Joe: Matusow, Williams, and maybe Ng
Joe: But I wish the execution was better and the hosts actually knew what the hell was going on
Chico: MATUSOW!!!!
Joe: Chico, stop that
Chico: Sorry.'
Joe: You're scaring the catgirls
Jason B.: lol
Chico: Look at it this way, Joe... At least it isn't AJ Benza and Samantha Harris... Together they have the emoting ability of a brick.
Don: lol
Joe: emoting isn't the problem. It's being able to commentate. David Williams RAISED his own big blind. He didn't call, for example.
Gordon: You mean the hosts need to know what's going on? (Gasp!)
Mike: Did anybody notice during poker that the cards displayed on-screen were different from the ones in hand? Someone needs to do a better job in post.
Chico: Seems like King of Vegas is just... *raspberries*
Joe: The two things it needs most is one less round of poker and better execution. Otherwise, it's dandy.
Mike: It needs more than that, my friend.
Gordon: Next up...

Don: Hmm...
Mike: Average number of brain cells killed by watching a single minute of Skating with Celebrities.

Chico: Gamblers at the Ute Mountain for Blackjack?
Jason B.: The amount of pounds lost on the biggest loser?
Gordon: Jason has it. Jason...Block.
Jason B.: thats 2
Gordon: The Biggest Loser is getting nice ratings and is spurring a huge weight loss revolution. What are you attributing this to?
Chico: Good product.
Joe: It's the new American Dream
Jason H.: I'm already skinny, I'm just needing to get in better shape and get muscle
Mike: Caroline Rhea. Meow.
Chico: A good product sells itself...
Joe: Win stuff for being healthier than you were X hours ago.
Mike: D'oh. You reminded me that applications and videos for a future installment of The Biggest Loser must be in my the 31st.
Jason H.: Stuff?!? What STUFF? You win your life back.
Chico: Sure do...
Joe: It makes the plight of the everyman trying to stay fit look a little more feasible
Jason B.: And its part of the "happy reality" like Extreme Makeover Home Edition. It's very good.
Jason H.: Heh.....
Joe: Yay, happy!
Jason H.: Jacky, my sister, actually got me to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Chico: Yeah, remember that whole feel-good factor? It's in full effect here.
Jason H.: I have to admit, it was really good.
Gordon: Do you think the networks will learn that feel good game shows actually work?
Jason H.: I had a tear in my eye, and it gave me a couple ideas for my future home
Jason B.: It's my guilty pleasure.
Joe: Not FOX, that's for sure
Don: lol
Joe: FOX lives on misery
Chico: No, they learn that if they tweak, then people will watch no matter how bad it is.
Gordon: Next Number...

$7,909

Chico: That bid on a popcorn cart? Wait, no that was $9999..

Jason B.: The winner purse in the qualifying of the World Series of Blackjack.
Joe: Someone's winning Jeopardy Score
Mike: The amount of money won by Gordon playing Pai Gow Poker at GSC4.
Gordon: Close, Mike
Mike: Really? Did I forget a decimal?
Gordon: A zero, actually =)
Joe: Incidentally, Pai Gow is supposedly on the King of Vegas rotation
Gordon: That's the average amount of money won this week on Millionaire per person. That includes a $25,000 and a $50,000 winner. Even with those 2 in, the average is still under $8,000 - and that included a llama. What's going on here?
Joe: Monday was brain fart central
Chico: They're not casting on skill, obviously...See, I passed the test, right? And they didn't choose me.
Jason B.: Do I have to tell you that the phone game has to be instituted again?
Don: I'd expect the average for WIAW week to be worse.
Joe: They want to keep the sacred "big money" numbers for syndication still sacred.
Gordon: I think they were waiting for you to appear on Sale of the Century first.
Jason B.: I wish.
Chico: Heh..
Joe: If people won like they did on primetime, then they'd be dishing out $100,000-$200,000 per episode
Chico: But that's only without carryover.
Jason H.: *puts on WWtbaM: PI 32,000 point winners shirt*
Don: At least last season had a $500,000 winner. This season, the most anyone won was $100,000...
Jason H.: There. :-P
Joe: And that's what the execs wand - a few 6-figure wins and a handful of 5-figs
Don: But I wanna see a 7-figure win!
Gordon: Note to the casting people - youhave all sorts of people on the seat. Would the addition of a specific Panamanian be that much of a problem?
Jason B.: NO!
Chico: Hell no! I'm twice as interesting as anyone you had on this week!
Jason H.: I definitely agree with that. ;-p
Chico: You want me to tell the story of me performing an a cappella version of Beethoven's 9th in my boxers?
Mike: NO
Jason B.: YES!
Mike: MY EYES
Chico: I WILL DO THAT! =p
Mike: GOOD HEAVENS, THE BURNING. IT HURTS!!!
Jason: Please move on with this Gordon....quickly...
Joe: Number, please, before we all go blind.
Mike: Final number: $28,000. The cost of therapy after visualizing Chico singing in his boxers.
Gordon: LAST NUMBER ,BIOTCHES!

$114,310

Jason B.: I know this one!
Joe: THE HIGH SCORE FROM WOF THIS WEEK
Gordon: And the Rookie gets it
Jason B.: Joe is right.
Jason H.: Dang, beat me to it
Joe: Score!
Chico: He's good.
Gordon: Was it just me, or was that bonus just a tad on the easy side?
Joe: Granted, but it's a charity week
Jason B.: It was the right letters at the right time.
Joe: Don't forget the puzzles are normally themed with the week
Chico: Yeah, but it never happens in other weeks, just this one.
Joe: Cadillac must have been a happy car dealership. 3 CTS's in one week
Jason B.: A woman won $78,345 the night before and then Bob Griese and Babette Dominguez hit the big $100,000.
Joe: If you thought the bonuses were easy, check out Wed and Thurs. Those weren't so easy
Jason B.: Thursday was tough.
Joe: I don't know how our players pulled out a V for Wednesday's
Chico: Luck. It is, after all, Wheel of FORTUNE.
Jason H.: It is? I always thought it was Wheel of Jeopardy. :-P
Chico: No, you're thinking of Remote Control... I miss that show.
Gordon: Well, we've spinning our wheels on this game long enough. We'll go to the break, where we do some listing...and some abusing.

Jason B.: That is the dumbest bling.
Mike: Someone get me that for my birthday. I want my mouth to look like a jewelry store.
Joe: That's what it's all about.
Chico: Whole top diamond and the bottom row gold =p
Jason B.: My whole mouth look like a disco ball.
Joe: From HELL!
Jason B.: Dumb rap song, infectious as hell.
