Gordon: My favorite, too =)
Chico:  It's a good thing I'm shaved bald right now, because I get to say... PLACE BETS NOW!!!! *poses*
Gordon: nice pose
Jason:  Hai! Do we have the results from the last one?
Chico:  I don't know... Do we?
Gordon: Here are your scores... Lastplace with 32...Lingoboy...
Jason:  (tennis clap)
Gordon: in 4th place, with 50...The Cookoo Clock
Jason:  Oh well.
Gordon; 3rd Place, with 90...Mike The K. (Clap). 2nd Place, with 134...The CHairman

Gordon: And 1st Place, with 140...Haterade!
Jason:  Of course :)
Gordon: Don't hate me because I'm...beautiful.
Chico:  Technically, we can't :)
Gordon: Hardy har har
Chico:  But this round will be a two-man affair. Because we're going through the Game Show Awards, and since I'm counting result, I must recuse myself.
Gordon: Though I have the feeling we will tie again, you got it, Block.
Jason:  Bring it On.
Chico:  In my pants :) Why the hell did I just say that...
Gordon: If that's the prize, I'll let Jason win.
Chico:  No, there isn't a prize. You're playing... for your PRIDE!
Gordon: In that case, it's definitely not in your pants.
Chico:  Not what your girl said :)
Gordon: Leave The Big Brother Mime out of this.
Chico:  Heh... Alright, I'll let you walk away with this one...
Gordon: Man this episode got raw, didn't it?
Jason:  Yup.
Gordon: 15 Categories. 15 bets. 100 Pasties from the Michelle L'Amour Collection
Chico:  Since we'll never see them again.
Gordon: I know. Sob.
Chico:  Thank god. :)
Gordon: Someone help me through my moment of grief. I need a hug. =(
Chico:  Gordon needs a hug...*hug*
Jason:  (HUG!!!!!!!!)
Chico:  Okay, that's enough.
Gordon: Poor Michelle...and she had nice wheels, too.
Chico:  And the car wasn't bad either. Hi-yooooo! Okay, for reference purpose, please now go to http://www.gameshownewsnet.com/extra/extra073106.html
Gordon: ok. Let's start this up.
Jason:  Ready here.
Chico:  Okay. First up... let's start with the bottom, shall we? The Zonk Award for Host... You see the nominees. Now place your bet.
Gordon: This could be tough. They all deserve to be there. 5 on JD Roth
Jason:  7 on Mel and Shandi. Ricki was disappointing. Mel and Shandi were just bad.
Chico:  Next, Zonk Award for Show. We've seen a lot of shows that just plain sucked. Which one was just plain the suckiest?
Gordon: We'll go for the perfecta. 5 on Unan1mous
Jason:  Although that was bad...Playmania is just cringworthy 7 on Playmania for the Clean sweep for GSN.
Chico:  Next up, the Gone But Not Forgotten Memorial Award. Five hosts who left a legacy, however small. Who left the bigger one?
Jason:  Ok...I would love to pull all 86 here...but I need more to bet. 6 to Tomarken
Gordon: 20 on Tomarken.
Chico:  Big bet for Gordon.
Gordon: I can't see how you give it to anyone else.
Jason:  True.
Chico:  Very true.
Jason:  But I am trying to spread my bets.
Gordon: Sure Edwards was a pioneer, but Tomarken was from our generation
Chico:  Next up, the worst moment. A moment you want to forget... but can't.
Gordon: The skunking was bad. Randall was bad. The Deal or NO Deal case was heartbreaking. 5 on the million dollar error.
Jason:  10 on Bai Ling. Sorry Gordon.
Gordon: How DARE you make fun of my Bai Ling
Jason:  Because she deserves it?
Chico:  Okay, settle people Don't make me break out the hose.
Jason:  Yes Sir.
Gordon: Ok, daddy.
Chico:  Next, the BEST moment. The moments you WANT to remember. Gordon, what moment do you want to remember?
Gordon: Id like to think Game Show Marathon because the torture was finally over, but I'll go 5 on one of the hottest finales ever - AI5
Jason:  5 on AI5 finale. Great great stuff.
Chico:  Okay, next. The best reality player as defined by a player who exemplified what it means to last on a show that just goes on and on and on and on and on.... Sorry. Gordon?
Gordon: Can I go off the board and say Michelle L'Amour?
Chico:  Judges (BZZZZ!) Sorry. Nice try, though.
Gordon: Well, you know who I am voting for next year. This year, I'll go 5 on Taylor Hicks. The class of Idol.
Chico:  Maybe we'll add "write-ins" next year, but for now...Jason?
Jason:  I will triple that bet 15 for the Soul Patrol
Chico:  Big Pastie Money for the Soul Patrol. How about those who earned their riches one game at a time? Best traditional player? Go!
Gordon: Hmmm...I think that Thorpe or Madden deserve it...but I am going to go for the upset and give my homeboy some love. 5 on Jason Hernandez.
Jason:  You know what? I will give him some love too. 5 on Lingoboy.
Gordon: We both know what happens if we don't bet on him.
Chico:  Yes.
Gordon: Bad juju
Chico:  That's all I will say about that.
Gordon: We'd both be Bad Mommy
Chico:  First up, best new reality show host. Lot of new faces, some old ones... who'll get the votes?
Jason:  9 on Mr. Bergeron. He was the best of that group.
Gordon: I disagree. Regis was. 5 on Mr. Philbin
Chico:  Next, the best newbie of the old-form bunch. All brought something new to the party. Who brought more?
Jason:  Vote or No Vote...9 on Howie.
Gordon: 15 on Howie. No way he loses this one.
Chico:  Now, best host of a reality game. Who gets it?
Gordon: This is tough...
Jason:  Isn't for me. 5 on Probst
Gordon: This is probably going to be the toughest category. I'll go 5 on Seacrest
Chico:  Now best host of a traditional game.
Jason:  5 on Vieira. She still rocks my world.
Chico:  I bet she does.
Gordon: He's 80+ and he can still bring it. 5 on Bob Barker.
Chico:  Four categories left. The next one: Best new reality game.
Jason:  5 on the Dancers. Dancing with the Stars
Gordon: Its in the news. Best of the bunch, It's recent. America's Got Talent. 5.

Gordon: Duh. 5 on Deal or No Deal.

Chico:  Meanwhile you at home have the power to change the outcome. How? By voting, of course.
Jason:  You have until when?
Chico:  August 20 is the deadline.
Jason:  Vote now...and once.
Chico:  Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. Tell your neighbors' friends.
Jason:  That's hot. Keep them coming.
Chico:  But you keep staying. Big Finish is next.

(Brought to you by Dancing With the Scars, which is what you will be doing if you should imitate David Smith and jump on broken glass. Please do NOT try any of the wacky stuff on America's Got Talent, because some moron will and will try to sue NBC. Don't even bother.)


Chico:  No seriously.... Don't. Big questions in small time. Time for the Big Finish. World Series of Pop Culture. Will we see another?
Jason:  Yes.
Gordon: Absolutely. Big Brother 6. Is Janelle next to go?
Chico:  Yep
Jason:  Yes. She is so dead
Chico:  Dead breasts walking. Last Comic Standing final this week. Who takes it?
Jason:  Josh Blue.
Gordon: I said he took it from day one. I'm not going to change now. America's Got Talent - Who gets in on the Wild Card Show?
Jason:  The magician and the Pianist.
Chico:  Sean & John if they tighten up their game, and Natasha Lee... if she just plays, baby.
Gordon: I'll go Nathan Burton and All That
Chico:  Should be fun to watch. Mail time?
Gordon: I got mail
Chico:  Me too. First up from Jordan Hass. Thanks, Jordan!
Jason:  Hey Jordan.

FROM: Jordan Hass


Concerning Extreme Improv Mini-Golf: I really do wish there was a "Mini Golf" show with the stars show on television, i mean nothing is as boring as poker and Mini Golf would probably be next in the "line of texas hold em fads". Sounds Like The The WLTI people better get their Wilties out. I smell a cash cow a commin'

And because you asked for it...

HEAD ON: APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
HEAD ON: APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
HEAD ON: APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD

 

Jason:  LOL
Chico:  Okay, thanks Jordan. We really liked the golf trip and hope to keep it as a tradition in upcoming GSCs. As for the other rant... a) we didn't ask for it... and 2)....that
commercial really bugs the crap out of me.
Jason:  Me too.
Gordon: Duct tape...apply directly to the mouth. Actually, they used to air the national finals of mini golf on ESPN a while ago. If they did it again, it needs to have that extreme touch to it, because regular golf...didn't do much.
Chico:  Next?
Gordon: Next up, we get some mail from Tyler Brown. Thanks Tyler!
Jason:  Hey Tyler.
Chico:  Hey Tyler!


TO: WLTI
FROM: Tyler Brown


I was wanting more information on the costs of copyrighting works and names of game shows as well as my entertainment company. P.S. Love the site!
 

Gordon: Hi Tyler. When you register, you want to do it in at least 2 places. The first one you can do online at The Writers Guild of America. There are 2 Guilds - East and West, pending on where you live. Each cost is $22.00.
Jason:  And also if you want to copyright a name it's $45 at http://www.copyright.gov/
Gordon: You should also copyright it in DC on their website on the National Pending Office. That you will have to download their pdfs and snail mail it over there. So it costs around $70 per idea, but it can save you millions.
Jason:  The best $70 you can spend.
Chico:  Especially with the sharks looming around nowadays. Okay, I got next from... an old friend...A good friend of this site.


TO: WLTI
FROM: Cheryl Jackson


It's Cheryl Jackson from Deal or No Deal, remember me?  I was just looking on your web site and I loved what I read, please confirm that this is correct and I quote from a July 26th.

"There are no plans for an all-star version, in which big winners would be brought back to compete. What the show might consider instead would be bringing back players who went home with really small amounts of money. Said David Goldberg, If you went away with $5, it might be nice to bring that person back and give them a chance."

If Mr. Goldberg did say that then I am the FIVE dollar person he is referring to.  Do you remember us talking about me going back. Just wondering if that information is correct, please confirm.

 

Chico:  Thanks, Cheryl. Great to hear from you again.
Jason:  Always good to hear from you.
Gordon: It's always a pleasure to hear from you.
Chico:  As for David Goldberg's idea, it's just that... an idea. Nothing is set in stone yet. But as soon as it is, you know where you'll hear it first. Any more mail?
Gordon: I have more mail.
Chico:  Please share.
Gordon: This is from Christopher Reynolds. Thanks, Chris!
Chico:  Hi, Chris :)


TO: WLTI
FROM: Christopher Reynolds


I definitely agree with Buzzerboy (Alex Davis) that Tom Bergeron doesn't seem to fit in the Millionaire chair. I do think he would fit as the syndie version of Howie Mandel, so a bonus Infiltration: Who do you want to see answering the banker's phone calls during the day in 2007?
 

Jason:  I do like Bergeron. He could do it well.
Chico:  Someone playful... but not too playful... Someone serious, but not too serious.... Off top of my head, I can't think of anyone. Tom Bergeron could do it. He fits all of those.
Gordon: Why not go for a compassionate edge for someone easily excitable...like Rosie O' Donnell?
Chico:  We may have a reverse Meredith Vieira case should that be a viable option.
Jason:  Could be.
Gordon: If they gave her liberties to make her character more cuddly, then it could work
Chico:  Could. One more from our good friends Jason & Jacky..


TO: WLTI
FROM: Jason & Jacky Hernandez


Hey guys! This is Jason Hernandez (and Jacky)  reporting live from the wonderful Tribune Studios where we both won $5000 on this very studio lot just over five months ago now, wow!

We are here for the season premiere taping of Family Feud with new host, John O'Hurley about to step into some pretty big shoes. This is his first shot at the Feud, and we are hoping that he does well in his first outing. Chico:  Meanwhile, we are here with fellow GSC-attendee, Burton Richardson, and we will try to get him to say "Alter Cockers" and "Biotches" and "Fighting Pudus"... I promise!

While we wait for the show to start, here are some comments [read: very constructive criticism (further read: WTF is wrong with each show)] we have regarding GSn's two latest offerings: Chain Reaction and Starface.

Chain Reaction... is a piece of crap! You know how the saying goes, "A first impression is the lasting one." CR left a horrible taste in both of our mouths during the first 45 seconds of the show. The theme music to open the show was annoying as hell, and Jacky begged me to turn it off. I've since FF'ed the intro if she is in the room. She then got into uber-ranty mode when
"Chain Smoker" was not accepted for "chain smoke." She darn-near had a hissy fit over it. She loves word games, and she said, "This is not a word game! I got the entire chain reaction before any of those teams got the first word! They are way too damn easy, and these contestants are idiots! I could beat them by myself!" I then replied, "So why don't you try out for the show?" She jeered, "Are you joking?

I don't want to split the money THREE ways! Plus, I don't think this show is even going to be on the air once our year of ineligibility is up." OUCH. The judging is crap, the graphics are crap. The set is chintzy, and the betting round is stupid. The bonus round is okay, at best. Plus, if Jacky can get an entire chain in twenty seconds, that either tells me that she's really good at this game... or the contestants are really that dumb. "Oh, I'm just really good, of course.... but man, these guys are so DUMB!" Maybe if GSn would put smarter people on the show, we'd watch. We had no problem deleting this week's worth of shows off of our DVR.

We like StarFace. It's cute, and the fact that she loves Hollywood trivia makes her a big fan. Plus, she is a big fan of Hollywood Showdown. The thing that got her excited was the third round with the masks. It's a clever idea, and can be very cute when the contestants get into it. She already has ideas on who should be on the masks. To quote Jacky, "Oh man, they should SO put Ross or Chandler from Friends as a mask.... could that... BE any better?" We think it's okay, and we're looking forward to see who the next masks are.

That is all for now. This is Jason and Jacky reporting from Tribune Studios, and now it's time to play the Feud! Have a great rest of the Big Finish, and we'll talk to you soon! -The Fiesta Lingo'ers

 

Chico:  I think we have a new record here... :)
Jason:  Damn.
Chico:  This is quite possibly the longest bit of mail we've ever gotten. EVER. I'm not even going to try and follow it up with a response, because nothing I say can ever justify it. It's just... amazing!  Jason... Jacky... My hat... is off to you.
Jason:  Thanks for writing
Chico:  All I can say is "Thanks for writing, and let us know how the new season of Feud turns out."
Gordon: I wonder what he'll think after he reads our opinions of it.
Chico:  He'll probably want to tear our hides. We like Chain Reaction... almost... and we hated StarFace... almost.
Gordon: Well, we certainly are opinionated, aren't we?
Chico:  We wouldn't be who we are if we weren't.
Jason:  Damn skippy.
Chico:  And if you have a question or an opinion or just want to say hi, you can always do it at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com
Gordon: So thanks to Ryan Vickers, Jason Hernandez and Jason Block for stopping by.
Chico:  Good times!
Jason:  Thanks guys...and we will see you next week.
Chico:  Next week, we laugh at/with the last comic standing. He's Gordon. I'm Chico. The Show is WLTI. and until next week, gaaaaaaaaaaaaaame over, and spread the love :)
Jason:  Hug It out.
Gordon: Preferably with your arms around Michelle L'Amour
Chico:  I was waiting for Gordon to throw in something completely wrong :)
Gordon: =)
