Chico: Did you direct that one, G?
Gordon: As a matter of fact.. yes. Yes I did.
Joe: Temptation just had another jackpot winner, this time under its new revised
cash jackpot system, winning over $932,000AU in cash and prizes.
Jason: Which included what Joe?
Joe: A new sound system, a Volvo S40 and the maximum $800,000AU in cash.
Jason: That's a lot of ching.
Joe: No kiddin'. She also did this in eight shows, instead of last year's seven
shows.
Chico: So basically, she pulled off the whole shoot then.
Joe: Yep. Yolanda Stopar was her name. Her boyfriend Troy was with her the whole
time.
Chico: Troy's one lucky dude... And we're about to pull off another shoot with 5
Good Reasons... Gordon, you have the list ready?
Gordon: The lists are ready.
Joe: Aiyah. I haven't played this in a while.
Chico: No one has :-)
Jason: Lets do this.
Joe: Heh.
Gordon: We start with Mr. Game Show Man. On that subject, give me 5 good
reasons, why we need to see Temptation in the US.
Joe: Oh yeeees.
Jason: Can you give only 5? :-)
Mike: Joe could give you 50 good reasons.
Joe: ROFL
Joe: I'll start with 5. 1) It's classic, exciting quiz show action. 2) It's the
average joe's Jeopardy! 3) It has a proven format, used the world over. 4) It
features both male and female hosts as equals. 5) The Speed Round kicks Final
Jeopardy's rear any day of the week.
Brian: YEAH!
Gordon: Well done, Joe.
Jason: Applause.
Joe: !SALUTE!
Joe: (and as a bonus: the home game kicks arse)
Chico: Nice.
Brian: Awesome!
Joe: Sorry. Couldn't resist.
Gordon: Mr. Moore - over to you.
Brian: Okay.
Gordon: Give me 5 reasons why MTV needs to bring a music game show back to it's
network.
Jason: oooohhhh...
Chico: Okay, Brian... Five Good Reasons.. Go.
Brian: I'm sorry, there aren't any.
Jason: BUZZ. Yes there are.
Brian: After Your Face or Mine, I just don't see any.
Jason: Can I have it?
Gordon: Take it.
Jason: 1) They have a history of good music trivia shows such as Turn It Up, and
TV with Remote Control
Brian: Okay
Jason: 2) Since Rock and Roll Jeopardy, there is a vast void for a good TV show.
Chico: 3) It doesn't have to be on MTV.. that's what VH1 is for.
Brian: Well of course.
Jason: 4) All of MTV originals shows are about dating and pimping cars. and 5)
Andy Milonakis needs to go.
Brian: Well there you go, you've got better reasons that I can't come up with,
thanks!
Gordon: Well, Jason, would you like one of your own?
Jason: Sure, why not.
Gordon: ok. Brian, feel free to chime in.
Brian: Somehow, I can't.
Gordon: Jason, Give me 5 good reasons why we should have hope that the
contestants on Millionaire on May Sweeps will do any better than the ones that
have done bupkus so far this season.
Jason: I will try. 1) It depends on the stack and the contestant. 2) Every
contestant has the equal shot just like everyone else. 3) There has to be one
contestant who will know how to use the lifelines correctly. 4) There has to be
at least one contestant who wont crack under the pressure. 5) And finally, there
has to be at least one contestant who has been watching all the bombs and
actually PREPARES for playing the game instead of just being happy with $1,000.
Is that about right?
Gordon: We'll take it. Good job, Jay.
Jason: Thank you.
Chico: Yeah, but when do they take all the good ones instead of all the happy
ones?
Gordon: That's one of the mysteries of the universe, Chico.
Chico: Heh.
Gordon: Ok - now for Mike.
Mike: Alrighty
Joe: Go Mike Go!
Jason: Go Mike...
Mike: Go where?
Joe: Go kick some arse on your list. :D
Gordon: Mr. Klauss. The past week, the play on DOND has been...well... not too
good. Give me 5 good reasons why this is the case.
Mike: 1. The banker was a real cheapass until Howie went up to his booth last
night and ripped him a new one. 2. The average player does not know the
mathematics and probabilities involved in making the right plays and right
judgments at the right time.
Joe: ROFL
Mike: 3. Pure bad luck. See Friday's 2nd game. With 15 cases left, 6 of the
Super 7 remained. Shortly thereafter, the largest case he had left was $50,000.
Chico: Biggest burnout... ever.
Mike: 4. The audience. How many times have you heard a vocal majority of the
audience say "DEAL!" this week? This goes back to bad offers and bad luck.
Joe: Don't you mean Super-9, Mike? Oh wait, that's the game I work on. :-D
Mike: You call it a paycheck, Joey. :-D
Joe: (Actually, I call it Stupid-9.)
Gordon: I call it a money maker =)3
Joe: 9_9
Mike: 5. The family members. How many of them have had the sense to say "take
the deal and run"? It's not their money!
Gordon: Very nice 5, Mr. Klauss
Mike: Thank you sir
Gordon: No problem. Time for Chico. This is a fun one. Tee hee hee
Chico: Ready, willing, able.
Gordon: Give me 5 good reasons why The Bachelor should be renewed.
Joe: That's low.
Jason: That is so mean!
Chico: You, sir... are an ass(^_^)! :-)
Gordon: (Putting on Haterade outfit)
Chico: 1) Low cost entertainment. 2) Easy replacement for a show that isn't
doing well (ahem, American Inventor). 3) Still a buzz generator. 4) Did we
mention that the show does exceptionally well among women aged 25-54? 5) Mike
Fleiss has us by the balls. There. Five Good Reasons.
Jason: WHOA!
Chico: I didn't think I would make it.
Mike: I am impressed!
Joe: He got through it. The Chairman strikes again.
Gordon: I'll give the Chairman his props on that one. Very very nice.
Chico: I may need a shower afterwards. One more... Gordon...
Jason: Do you have a list for Gordon? :-)
Chico: Oh but yes.
Gordon: I can't wait
Mike: *sets the TiVo for this one*
Chico: Gordon... Five good reasons that American Idol has become a joke. Go.
Jason: Knew it.
Joe: The Chairman's Revenge! ROFLMAO
Gordon: Mr. Block, while I am doing this, can you get me one order of Fugu for
the Chairman?
Jason: Sorry Gordon, we are fresh out.
Gordon: Damn.
Joe: ROFLMAO
Chico: Waiting...
Gordon: 1. They don't have the best talent, just the unpolished talent. 2. They
take too much pride in getting the worst singers, and have inadvertently made
cult status of Chris Wilde, David the Animal Boy, Leroy Crunk Wells
and...William Hung.
Joe: ACK!
Gordon: 3. The Cory Clark escapades have made a mockery of the biasness of the
judges, whereas every man that Paula likes we are convinced that she wants to
sleep with.
Chico: Two more..
Gordon: 4. Vote for the worst.com. Over a million votes. If Carrie Underwood did
wind up winning, it's because of a group that has taken the mockery of Idol and
made it into an art form.
Chico: Magic number is 137. Remember that. It shall be a statistic from here on
out.
Gordon: 5. There are so many cliches that you can shake a stick at between all
of them that the only reason why Idol has any credibility is not the show, but
the audience, who keeps it level by voting out the Scott Savols, etc. of the
competition. Pepper out.
Chico: *applause* Very nice indeed.
Joe: Wow.
Jason: Wow. Very good.
Gordon: Thank you
Chico: Take it to the Big Finish, please.
Joe: Before we get to the Big Finish, I wanted to address a question that an
e-mail recently sent to the show brought up.
Chico: okay...
Joe: A recent e-mail asked a question about whether I would watch a reality show
if it were announced that Amy Jo Johnson, my Favorite Female Celebrity in the
Cosmos, was amongst its cast. The answer: it depends on what show it was. If
were something like Survivor, I would wonder what possessed her to be on the
show, and avoid it.
Chico: Cool? Cool.
Joe: If it were something like American Idol (of which she is said to be a huge
fan), I would pity the other contestants and laugh my arse off as she kicked
their backsides all the way to Antarctica. (although in the latter case, she
would more likely be a guest judge)
Gordon: I think Joe would at least catch the first episode of Amy Jo Johnson's
Survivor.
Joe: No, Gordon. Survivor = teh suck. I would not watch.
Gordon: We go to the Big Finish right after this.
(Brought to you by Morebucks Coffee. Come for the overpriced coffee... Stay for
open mic with the moody college-aged baristas)
Joe: Or Amy Jo if she decides to do a concert. :-D
Gordon: I hear that Grizzlebees sells Morebucks Coffee
Brian: LOL
Chico: Apparently so
Gordon: Anyways it's time for....The Big Finish! We start with American Idol.
Who turns the Big 12 into the Big 11?
Chico: Melissa.
Jason: Melissa.
Joe: I'll have to go with the consensus and say Melissa.
Gordon: I think Melissa is good, but not good enough. Can we get up to a 3 time
winner on Jeopardy?
Jason: Don't think so.
Chico: I say there's one.
Mike: We're due for a three-game winner.
Joe: I think we're due for more than that.
Jason: We are due
Chico: How about a six-digit deal?
Joe: How about a SEVEN-digit deal? I want to see someone find the big case.
Gordon: It's not only finding it - it's sticking with it. I think it will
happen, but not for a while.
Chico: Alrighty....
Joe: Gordon speaks truth. It's only a matter of time.
Chico: Mail then?
Joe: MAIL TIME!
Chico: This bit of correspondence comes from our good friend... Jason Wuthrich!
Jason: Hey Jason
Mike: Ha! He responded to my request!
Chico: Yes he did...
Joe: Heyooooooo!
Chico: He writes...

Because Mike Klauss called me
out last week, let me tell you I've been hearing a lot about the Tonya
Harding article of GSN's Anything to Win in the media this week. And every
media source I've seen calls the network "Game Show Network". Two years
after the changeover, it's sooo nice to see the rebranding efforts are
getting through.
|
Chico: *sirens* That sound you hear is the Klauss-Gibson Sarcasm-Meter.
Joe: Going berserk.
Gordon: Well, when they got rid of Game Show off the title, they also got rid of
it in the content, hence the problems they have now.
Jason: Amen.
Joe: Indeed.
Chico: yep
Gordon: Speaking of Jason's, I have an e-mail from...Jason Hernandez!
Jason: what do you know :-)
Joe: WHOOOOOOOOO! Me homeboy from Riverside!
To: WLTI
From: Jason Hernandez
First off, a llama does not
constitute bombing out on the first level on "Millionaire"! A llama only,
and I mean ONLY, occurs when a player misses the first question at a hundred
bucks. How do you think we got the term to "llama out" in the first place?
Did it happen on the $1,000 question, or the $300 question? Nooooo! It
happened on the first question. Just because a person didn't make it to the
first plateau, but got the first question right, doesn't mean you should
call that person a L-L-A-M-A!
Secondly, Drew & Cheryl were, without a doubt, the best dancers of the
entire 2nd season of "Dancing With the Stars." While I am quite satisfied, I
still want more. So, how about after the 3rd season of the show, we get the
winners from all three seasons, plus John O'Hurley and his dance partner, we
have a "Best of..." competition between the best dancers of the series? I'd
like to see if they can really step up their dance skills another
notch...although I think Drew & Cheryl would win that right now, if it were
to happen. ABC, are you listening?
Finally, what the is wrong with "Mega Match"?!?! I'm sorry, but this show is
becoming less enjoyable by the week. With longer concerts going on, and an
impossible third room in the "Gauntlet," I'd love to see some change in the
bonus round. First off, get rid of those damn stoplights. Not only are they
distracting and the students forget to push the button 75% of the time, but
nobody in their right mind would want to risk losing a car in order to get
two cars or none! Oh yeah, either no more shot glass room, or make the
pyramid smaller, where you should put 6 shot glasses on the bottom level,
that way you can work with 21 shot glasses.: Seven or eight on the bottom
level is far too much. No, I'm not kidding on that one, 8 on the bottom
level, which means 36 in total! Oh yeah, I miss the old female
co-host...she's much hotter than the current co-hostess. That's all I have
to say, and I'm outta here.

Joe: Turncoat. I thought he was a Stacy Keibler
fan.
Gordon: Thanks to both Jasons for their e-mails.
Chico: ... Not much more need be said.
Jason: I didn't write a letter....so no Jason letter sweep.
Gordon: I have one more piece of mail
Jason: Cool.
Gordon: I will not mention whom it's from, and when you read it, you will know
why. Ready?
Jason: Sure.

I would like to guess #3 for the
10,000 case tonight 3/10/06. Thanks.
|
Chico: *slaps forehead*
Jason: wow. (shakes head)
Joe: Aiyah.
Mike: Wow. You're wrong. It was case #6.
Gordon: First of all, you don't win $10,000. Second of all, we are not
affiliated with ANY TV Studio or game show. Please do NOT send us any
applications, show ideas, etc.
Joe: That's called "lazy," ladies and gentlemen.
Chico: And third, you enter the game from NBC.com/DOND.. Not from our site.
Jason: Right.
Chico: Okay, I get one free pot shot.
Jason: fire away.
Chico: I take your guess and use it as my own... only I get it right, and you're
still a loser.
Jason: Boy oh boy.
Gordon: Well, if you have any e-mail that you want to send us (and no, no DOND
Case Predictions please), send it to
wlti@gameshownewsnet.com
Chico: We're serious.
Jason: especially from our friends from across the pond.
Chico: If we use your case selection...and we get it right...
Jason: You get nothing.
Chico: And we win ching... Don't come whining to us. This is your first, last,
and only warning.
Gordon: No bling for you!
Joe: And you know this, MAN!
Chico: Yeah! *slaps ground* MY house! But seriously, we love hearing from you.
After all, without you, we're nothing.
Gordon: With that, we end another edition of WLTI. Thanks again to Jason, Ryan,
Mike, Brian and Joe and Jason H and Jason W.
Joe: I know I'm here so rarely these days. It's good to be here.
Chico: Next week, the countdown to 100 continues. Until then, he's Gordon
Pepper... I'm Chico Alexander... The show is WLTI. Game over... and what?
Joe: Spread the love.
Jason: (applause)
Joe: Godspeed for now.
Chico: *slaps again* My house...
Mike: And here's hoping your brackets work out the next few weeks.
Joe: Brackets-schmackets.
