Gordon: We're back, and....For those of you keeping score at home, Jason Block, Tom Gauer, Mike Klauss and Ryan Vickers have all left, and we have 2 new panelists.
Chico:  Behold the power of begging.
Gordon: Starting with the latest addition to the Price is Right Intern factory (and someone who now has a mattress to sleep on, thanks to us), Mr. Travis Schario!
Travis: Thank you, thank you.  32 days until work begins.
Gordon: And secondly, the newest member of the Game Show Family - and to Game Show News Net, Mr. Aaron Huertas!
Aaron:  Thank you.
Gordon: As a game show site, we can't say why Aaron is going to be a new celebrity, but we'll say this - watch The Price is Right on October 5th.
Chico:  Totally... I'll just say... this is a show to catch :) We're into the part of the show that we call game time. And we're going to start with a game called "Songbook."
Chico:  Gordon, please explain.
Gordon: Here's how the game works. I will come up with a theme. You will come up with a song (either real or fictional) to describe the event. As always, no points are scored, and this is all just for funsies. Any questions?
Travis: Thinking cap on...(*boop beep dop meep zorp*)
Gordon: Feel free to chime in with as many songs as you want.
Aaron:  Take it away, Dr. Pepper.
Gordon: First up...

'The One'. The lowest rated show of the Summer and perhaps, if the show continues, ever. What bad songs can we come up with to compliment this disaster?

Gordon: I've got 'Another One Bites the Dust'
Aaron:  The One, by Shakira?
Gordon: That works.
Chico:  "The One" by Backstreet Boys. That song, like the show... really sucked.
Travis: Oh, gnats.
Chico:  "Don't Go Away Mad, Just Go Away"
Gordon: My favorite, of course, is from the Chico Library - You Suck, Get Out.
Chico:  And finally... sorry, Ryan... "Blame Canada." Of course, for George Stromboulopoulos... Hey, got that right on the first shot.
Gordon: What about the Webster theme?
Chico:  Papadopoulos, Gordon.
Gordon: 'I'm only a Bill and I'm waiting here on Capitol Hill?'
Chico:  That's George Stephanopolous.
Gordon: What about the Sesame Street Theme?
Chico:  That's Snuffleupagus
Gordon: So we have Shakira, Queen and the Back Street Boys. Next one...

We have to do this one, in honor of Travis and Aaron - The Price is Right! Let's have some tunes!

Chico:  This one is too easy.
Travis: "You Spin Me Round"
Chico:  "Come on Down" by Crystal Waters.
Travis: "Money Talks" by AC/DC
Aaron:  Spinning Around, by Kylie Minogue.
Travis: "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh.
Aaron:  Money, by Pink Floyd
Gordon: Baby you can Drive My Car
Travis: Get outta my dreams, get into my car *Yay, Billy Ocean*
Chico:  Cars. Gary Numan...
Gordon: A very nice compilation of songs.
Chico:  And finally "Drive" by the Cars/New Cars
Travis: *smacks forehead*
Gordon: Next one...

In honor of America's Next Top Model, showing up on September 20th, let's have some songs you would expect a model to pose with - or just model songs in general.

Travis: Vogue by Madonna.
Gordon: I have Supermodel by RuPaul
Chico:  I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred, Of course.
Gordon: You are bald and sexy
Aaron:  Celebration by Kool and the Gang
Gordon: Adding to Aaron's theme - Dancing on The Ceiling, by Lionel Richie
Chico:  Of course.
Gordon: Next one...

We all love Regis Philbin. As you know, he used to be a singer. What song would you love to hear him sing?

Aaron:  Luck be a Lady, by Frank Sinatra
Gordon: That's taking it old school
Chico:  Well, this isn't current, but it's been stuck in my head... "That's All" by Rod Stewart.
Aaron:  He can nail a Sinatra song
Gordon: Actually, he could probably nail both songs
Travis: Black Horse & the Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall.
Chico:  Travis... you're a cruel bastard :)
Travis: Yep :)
Gordon: You may all hate me for this, but I have an even crueler song - My Hump, by the Black Eyed Peas.
Chico:  ... Gordon wins.
Travis: I'm gonna cry.
Aaron:  Regis would have to go through some major wardobe changes.
Chico:  Can I be scared now?
Aaron:  By all means
Gordon: Dont you want to hear Regis talk about his lady lumps?
Aaron:  maybe wearing a Doo Rag
Gordon: Now THAT'S an image.
Chico:  NEXT!
Gordon: Next one...and I need a Big Board for this one, Chico.
Chico:  Got it.
Gordon: The Subject - GSN's idea of the Top 50 shows...so far. While we have been at the GSC, Game Show Network has given us some of their version of the Top 50 shows of all time. Do we have the current list?
Chico:  Thanks to our friends at LJ Game Shows... yes.
Gordon: Let's see the list.
Travis: (*Wheel of Fortune puzzle load*)

Gordon: You can give me any song connected to any of the games or about the list in general.
Chico:  "I Was Only Kidding" by Weird Al.
Gordon: Stupid Girl by Garbage.
Chico:  Stupid Girls by Pink
Travis: "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" by Tom Petty.
Aaron:  It's Oh so Quiet by Bjork
Chico:  "Number One" by Nelly. Because two is not a winner, and three (through 50), nobody remembers.
Gordon: While we're at it, the 'Silly Rabbit' theme for Trix. Aren't you happy that your favorite show, Shop Till You Drop, made the list, Chico?
Chico:  I'm going to kill you slowly, Gordon. And if legal is watching... I'm going to kill... you... slowly... Gordon.
Aaron:  Can't we all just get along? Please stop the violence on the east!
Chico:  This is endearment between us, Aaron :)
Gordon: Don't hate me because I'm...Beautiful.
Travis: HA!!  I'm out west now.  I'm away from the hatred!!
Aaron:  Well, then I'll put away my peace speech.
Gordon: I'm just wondering not only how Studs made the list, but how it's ranked above Blockbusters. Come to think of it, how is Hollywood Showdown ahead of Blockbusters?
Travis: I have a theory...
Gordon: Let's hear it
Travis: What the GSN execs probably did was get through the first 10 or 20 relatively quickly, then once they got to the end of the list, had trouble coming up with shows...hence Studs above Blockbusters.
Gordon: I don't understand why they would put Studs over one of their own...unless we may be seeing Studs come to GSN.
Chico:  Don't give them any ideas.:)
Travis: If "Price" isn't #1, I call for a revolt.
Chico:  Of course... ... Studs... If Sale isn't up there, there's going to be a turf war calling for Rich Cronin's head.
Gordon: If Sale and Scrabble aren't up there, you're going to have a massive nasty backlash against GSN
Chico:  Agreed. Next songbook?
Gordon: Final one...

Game Show Congress. Pick any song that described the Congress or your mood with it.

Aaron:  In The End by Linkin Park
Travis: Does Heaven have a theme song?
Chico:  "Heaven" by Bryan Adams... or conversely, "Heaven" by Los Lonely Boys
Travis: Ah, thank you Chico.
Gordon: 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' by Belinda Carlisle...Or a band like Heaven 17
Aaron:  Boom Shake The room, by Fresh Prince & Jazzy Jeff
Chico:  Of course, "California" by Phantom Planet
Gordon: Hotel California by the Eagles
Chico:  "Profit in My Pants" by Joe Van Ginkel and the Gordon Pepper Orchestra.
Gordon: ROFL! Two people had major profit in their pants.
Chico:  If that doesn't describe it, I don't know what does.
Gordon: lol
Aaron:  Right to be wrong, by Joss Stone
Chico:  That describes ME during GST, when I was playing every game against Paul Paquet.
Travis: and Dave Legler....
Gordon: were you sore afterwards, Chico?
Chico:  Yes.
Travis: ...after your mass spankings.
Chico:  ... my pride. It still cries. I need a break.
Gordon: Chico needs a hug.
Aaron:  LOL
Chico:  Let me get some pictures for you to caption...
Gordon: While we all go send Chico some cyberhugs, we'll be back.
