Gordon: The winner gets to be the new Doctor Who?
James: If you do pass the test...don't do what I did in the interview
Chico: What did you do?
James: Let's just say....I cut a promo on Ken Jennings
Gordon: Oopsie
Joe: O_o
Ryan: Indeed...
Chico: Oh dear. I was just going to tell them about how me and my a cappella group perform one of our ditties in our boxers.
Jason: Can’t bust on the man.
James: Hey...I played against Jennings in QB and lost...I wanted revenge.
Chico: Okay, before I go any further, I advise you all to open up Windows Media Player and head to the Video Wall.
Ryan: done
Jason: ok
Joe: Oh deah...
James: Done
Chico: Okay it's time once again to open up the Video Wall for a little bit of trivia in a game we call... !
Jason: Done
Travis: Oh no...
Chico: Oh yes!
Travis: Back by less-than-popular-demand...
Chico: It's either this or another round of Take-a-Side =p
Mike: Us WLTI semi-virgins are in for a treat, no?
Ryan: Are we playing Spring?
Chico: We're playing Spring.
Ryan: Sweet!
Chico: So we need four judges to judge alongside Gordon.
Jason: Spring?
Travis: ME!
Jason: ME
Mike: Me
Chico: Travis, Jason, Ryan and... Mike. So take your places alongside the high-arbiter of worthless knowledge, Chairman Gordon.
Gordon: I am the chairman. Worship me.
Ryan: *bows*
Travis: Kiss my (blank).
Gordon: I am the arbiter of whrt...WHA?
Mike: You're apparently high, too.
Jason: How does this work?
Chico: okay, to explain, I will give a bit of trivia that actually happened, and you judge from 1 to 10, how many !s it gets. Then I show the corresponding video, and you add another 1-10 !s.
Ryan: sounds good
Jason: OK
Gordon: So if you wanted to give it a 5, you would go !!!!!
Travis: Five factorial!
Chico: Think of them as "Hey's"
Ryan: lol
Jason: I did this before.
Mike: 120 heys
James: Interesting.
Travis: Mike knows his maths. :-)
Mike: I better :-P Do we award a golden brain...with the melon bread inside that looks like a brain?
Chico: Golden Buzzer.
Mike: With the melon bread inside....gotcha
Chico: with the melon bread inside that LOOKS like a buzzer.
Travis: Who stole the UFL trophy?
Chico: Okay, if you're ready, Travis, Ryan, Mike, Jason, Gordon... Here's our first bit of trivia.

A MIME AUDITIONED.... FOR AMERICAN IDOL.

Jason: !!
Ryan: !!
Travis: !!
Mike: !
Chico: Wow, really stingy with the !s, are we?
Gordon: Why, Simon Why??? One !
Chico: So far, 8 !s. Now let's take a look at the video. "Mime Time" it's called.
Travis: <zzz>
Gordon: Can I play the role of Captain Americus and throw a dodgeball at her?
Chico: You can.
Travis: Please do...
Jason: !
Gordon: One Dodgeball and One !
Jason: This is bad.
Travis: I award no additional bangs.
Jason: But I give her credit.
Mike: Wow. She's an embarrassment to all of Cleveland's working mimes.
Ryan: *curses slow internet connection* :-)
Travis: For what? Being another novelty act on a show that has too many?
Mike: Yes!
Travis: No, I was asking JasonB that...
Mike: Oh
Travis: Sorry, Mike.
Rob: this clip was just bad.
Jason: She made it interesting. At least she showed some talent...and knew she was a novelty. The clip was horrible.
Mike: AI has gone from a true talent contest to everybody and their mother trying to make an ass out of themselves.
Travis: This is AI, NOT Body Language!
Gordon: Mike, you're from Cleveland. Is it in the water?
Mike: I drink the water! And I'm reasonably fine :-P I'll toss in a few !!
Gordon: Do you have the urge to put on bodypaint and perform for a cranky Brit?
Mike: 1. I'm too old 2. I wanna keep some dignity :-P

A MIME AUDITIONED FOR AMERICAN IDOL... 12 !s (and one dodgeball)

Mike: Oh heavens, I need some Advil after that file...
Travis: Mike's from Cleveland; he's biased...
Mike: Not really. She sucked. But without the makeup, she's probably not too bad looking
Chico: While Mike gets some Advil, we go to our next trivia.
Gordon: (takes off the make-up...) It's KRISTEN from The Apprentice! EEEK!

A WOMAN LOST $200... ON A QUESTION ABOUT DWARVES.

Gordon: She's trying to get on another reality show!
Travis: No bangs.
Jason: !!!
Mike: Lost $200 on dwarves? That's small change! !!!!!!
Travis: Wait till you see the clip.
Gordon: She's a cute Llama Mama though. !!!!
Chico: So far, 13. Let's take a look at the video.
Travis: Not only did she muff the question, she was flat wrong in her explanation.
Chico: "Dwarfed"
James: Ah...THAT woman.
Travis: Capra wasn't the Wizard of Oz, I think.
James: Frank Capra's spinning in his grave. Walt Disney's spinning in his cryogenic chamber at Cinderella Castle.
Travis: So, a whopping donut from me.
Jason: 0--bad bad bad
Travis: Wait, I want to eat the donut too. Nothing.
Mike: It's another case of someone's mouth being 5 seconds ahead of their brain.
Gordon: I like Krispy Kremes, so I'll stay with the donut.
Travis: I wonder if somewhere in Europe, an Eberle met up with a Cowell... Back in the 1700s or something.
Chico: That depends. How many black shirts do you own?
Travis: I'm wearing one of about a dozen now.
James: Anyone have her address...I need to send her membership to the WWTBAM Llama Club
Travis: She missed a so-easy-it-hurts-question. No sympathy.
Mike: As I said, if she thought it out instead of jumping to a final answer, she would've got it. I do feel bad for her, but she controlled her own destiny.
Travis: Too bad for her. No money. Rack 'em, C.
Chico: Mike?
Mike: I give her one pity !
Gordon: Defector!
Mike: Just one!
Travis: IT SAID 'DWARVES' IN THE FECKING QUESTION!
Mike: Oh come on. She's not that bad looking :-P One !
Travis: (breathe in, out, in, out)

Travis: One bang for the lucky spin, and one for the photoshop contest.
Jason: I saw this live time. I did the recap.
Gordon: You give too many !. WOF HOme Boy
Ryan: Hey! Don't diss the wheel!
Jason: Not for this...this was great...roll the clip.
Gordon: It was good though, !!!!!
Chico: Hmmm...23. Let's look at the video.
Travis: They did pick some good letters...
Gordon: That's nice - but no more ! from me.
Travis: Crumbs, that would have been more memorable if they MISSED it. Note that all of the confetti goes upstage, and not over the winners/Pat.
Jason: No way Travis...there have already been 2 misses...
Mike: There were also 9 misses last year
Travis: I mean that they had almost the whole puzzle revealed.
Jason: Travis...are you always this cranky? :-)
Travis: No, but I come off that way. :-) I stick with my 2 factorial originally.
Jason: !!!!!!! more
Mike: I wish our good friend Cory Anotado was up there...
Gordon: Playing the role of Rob as the fan boy for this round = Jason
Mike: Then I could get a loan from him. :-P !!!!!
Travis: That would have been a 10-er.
Jason: Absolutely :-)
