Chico:  ... Can't it be both?
Gordon: You filthy McNastys
Chico:  ... What?
Jason B:   Come on man...She is smoking hot.
Joe:    She's showing up in Sportscenter commercials
Gordon: Time for something else that is Smoking Hot - Full Circle
Chico:  Remind us how it goes.
Gordon: I give you a clue and a response and you ring in when you know it. It's Scrabble Style. You get points for letters
Chico:  Cool! Let's play!

Chico:  SCORPION
Gordon: Chairman is on a roll
Jason B:   Damn.
Gordon: And of course, it wouldn't come, because the Scorpion isn't a bird.
Chico:  It's an arthropod.
Gordon: Yep.
Chico:  And a rather stingy one.

Jason - 6 Chico - 22, Joe - Lingo Donut

Joe:    I had a feeling this was another Game I Can't Win(TM)

Gordon: Having fun, Joe?
Joe:    A blast.  CURSE YOU REALITY TELEVISION!

Jason B: Yay!
Gordon: You sure you guys didn't read off my script?
Chico:  I swear I didn't do anything.
Jason B:   Neither did I.
Joe:    You're asking ME?

Jason - 45 Chico - 22, Joe - Lingo Donut

Chico:  Jason, what can I say except.. the floor is yours.
Jason B:   First of all, don't forget to vote on the Game Show Awards. 2nd of all...please come to GSC. If you haven't decided...you have one week....it's never too late. And Third...this is a call to all contestant coordinators in Hollywood. Read Gordon's State of Play. This is a wake up call to make the games better. Finally...is it GSC YET?
Chico:  Not yet... But it is time for a break. Big Finish next!

(If you're living in or planning to visit Southern California next week, catch the WLTI live show at Game Show Congress 5... July 13-16... Burbank, CA... It's on like Donkey Kong, beeyatch.)

Gordon: whoo hoo
Jason B:   I have my WLTI Shirt...make sure to pack yours.
Chico:  I have to wash mine first. I was at the gym with it, right, and... well, you know what happens when you're at the gym.
Jason B:   PU and BO.
Gordon: Ewwwww
Chico:  Something like that, yeah. But I'll have it all ready. It's all good.
Jason B:   Good.
Chico:  Don't think of it like "ew, gym shirt". Think of it as... spreading the good word.
Joe:    And while you're all at GSC, I'll see if I can catch a taping of Chain Reaction
Chico:  Let us know how it is.
Joe:    All 3 hours of it
Jason B:   LOL
Joe:    After attending both J! and WoF, that is truly ridiculous
Jason B:   Harry knows how to run a show :)
Chico:  Tell me about it. Okay, we're all packed and ready, so it's time to wrap this up.
Gordon: The Big Finish - Will any of the AGT people that we get to vote on be veterans of other talent shows?
Chico:  Probably.
Jason B:   Yes.
Joe:    Definite probability.
Chico:  We'll vote on a winner, but the probably comes from them having a chance to win. Big Brother 7... Danielle = Hosed?
Jason B:   Super Soaked.
Joe:    If not now then later
Gordon: I'll say Allison
Chico:  Everyone hates Allison, and for good reason. She's a bitch. And she's a media ho. To the fullest. Jeopardy!: Are we going to see someone fearful before the season ends?
Joe:    Well, you think everyone's so far fearfully bad.
Gordon: Based on what we've seen so far...nope. If there was a strong player, we would have seen them make a run already.
Jason B:   Probably. That why Madden and Jennings made their run around this time.
Chico:  Okay, one last question before mail. Millionaire: I got a mail saying that there are more episodes on the way. Meanwhile a board post at ABC7.com, says that the season is over. Which do you buy?
Gordon: I buy the fact that there will be more episodes - especially if people who say that their show didn't air are saying there will be more. Treasure Hunters...weren't they looking for the Best Players? How did the Wild Hanlons get there?
Chico:  Bribing the producers.
Jason B:   I haven't seen Episode 3 yet, so I don't know.
Gordon: They go bye bye in Episode 3, Jay
Chico:  They do.
Jason B:   Praise be.
Chico:  "Karma" strikes again, as we say.
Jason B:   Good.
Gordon: Again, lets go back to State of Play. I want to see THE BEST people, not the most entertaining. Seeing a team as dumb as rocks up there taking someone's spot who would do better is a reason why Tresture Hunters should remain buried. And add Donny and the potentially to be departing Allison on the list.
Chico:  And take the Ulongs with you... and we're headed to... Jason Wuthrich's e-mail.
Jason B:   Hey Jason.
Chico:  Jason writes...

Gordon: Thanks for the e-mail, Jason.
Jason B:   GSM 50%, Dance 100%, Rock Star 25%
Joe:    GSM, 20%, Dance 100%, Rock Star, 50%
Chico:  Okay, right now, most likely to see a new season... "So You Think You Can Dance.".
Gordon: Its getting nice sized ratings, Dance should get a renew.
Chico:  Totally. GSM got nice ENOUGH ratings...Maybe a 50/50 shot there. Rock
Star... I think it's dead in the water here.
Gordon: Rock Star, unfortunately, will get one, if only because the revenue generated was huge. Shows are worth more in value than just ratings, as The Apprentice scores lots of them for the cable stations.
Jason B:   True that.
Chico:  Damn you, Verizon.
Gordon: Rock Star was a huge cash cow, if nothing because they got a piece of the sold out live INXS concerts. Should Supernova do the same success on the tours, there will be a season 3.
Chico:  And if Supernova crashes...
Gordon: Then nothing will be generated. As for GSM, it probably will get a renewal, just because the ratings weren't brutal and CBS is one of the most patient networks there. Their patience has been rewarded with shoes like Big Brother and The Amazing Race, so if they can get their act together and learn from Season 1, then we could see a season 2.
Chico:  Sounds good.
Gordon: And honestly, as much as we villified Season 1, we really do want a season 2 - we just want to see it done well.
Jason B:   Gordon...you took the words out of my mouth.
Chico:  Okay. As always, we're accepting your e-mails at wlti@Gameshownewsnet.com... just not next week, because we're taking the show on the road...Yay!
Gordon: Yippee!
Chico:  I mean, you can still e-mail us, but there's no real guarantee we're going to get it for another couple of weeks.
Jason B:   So why did you make me buy a steward's outfit? Am I serving you guys?
Gordon: You didn't know?
Jason B: ...
Chico:  Big thanks to Jason Block, Jason Hernandez, Joe Mello and Alex Davis for hanging out. For Gordon Pepper and everyone at Game Show Newsnet, I'm Chico Alexander. See you in Charlotte... err, Burbank.. Sorry.
Jason B:   Let's go...SHOTGUN!
