Because fandom is NOT a spectator sport...

Today is

October 16, 2006

Jason:  Reggie Van Dough, Professor Keenbean, Cadbury, Irona, Dollar the Dollarmation.
Chico:  Dude, you forgot Gloria Glad...
Jason:  Did Richie's Mom and Dad have names?
Chico:  I.. uh.. forgot.
Gordon: Mr. Rich and Mrs. Rich?
Chico:  Richard and Regina Rich.
Gordon: Pretty much, It's Hot Potato gone infinite. Hot potato lasted...around what, 6 months, gang?
Chico:  And this is with BILL FREAKING CULLEN in the hot seat.
Gordon: I don't expect the List to last that long
Chico:  But could the Riches play Hot Potato?
Gordon: They could certainly be on The Rich List - let's see what you think other people did on said list, as we do some infiltration. We'll start with the obvious one - as you know, the Deal or No Deal Models were part of the Mob on 1 Vs. 100...

How would the TPIR Models do?

Chico:  God I wish Travis was here. I'm guessing he knows which ones are the smart ones. I can only guess... one of the six in regular rotation would see another "1".
Jason:  Well, Gabrielle is not the brightest bulb. No offense to her. Don't know if any others are smart.
Gordon: I'd say one of them somewhere would make it past the first contestant.
Jason:  Sure.
Gordon: We'll see if any Model can complete the 'Grand Slam' - The Price is Right, Deal Or No Deal, 1 Vs. 100 and One/Show/Me/Ho/ for the Money
Jason:  Claudia Jordan and Lanisha Cole have done 2.
Gordon: Next one...You know that Rob Mariano wants to be a poker player?

Well he qualified for 'Pokerdome' this past week. How do you think he did?

Jason:  I think he did well. A lot of celebs do well these days.
Chico:  I'm going to say he did well... He knows how to play other people
Gordon: Out of 6 people, he finished in second. Unfortunately, second place gets you absolutely nothing. Sorry Rob, Better luck next time.
Chico:  Darn.
Gordon: Next one up...

Remember the old version of Name That Tune when Kathie Lee Gifford was singing the tunes? What up and comer destined for Media Ho Stardom can we put up there for the new version?

Jason:  Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical
Chico:  (insert American Idol close-but-not-quite female here)
Gordon: Like a Mandisa?
Jason:  Yeah.
Gordon: or a Paris Bennett?
Jason:  Paris would be great for this.
Chico:  More Paris than Mandisa. Cause we all know how she roll.
Gordon: Perfect. What about...

Another new show coming up - House of Horrors, where Sam Raimi will have losing contestants 'die' real deaths. Way to blur fantasy with reality. Anyways, when they have the celebrity edition, who goes in there?

Jason:  Paris Hilton Or Omarosa
Chico:  I'll take both. I'm hardcore like that. And throw in New York from Flavor of Love for the "reality ho" factor
Gordon: Paris Hilton has already had a stake through her head, courtesy of House of Wax
Jason:  Duh, forgot about that.
Gordon: What about Cao Boi and Jerri Manthey?
Chico:  One more so than the other.
Gordon: Fair enough, Halloween can't come too soon around here. Next one...

Hans from TPIR's Cliffhanger on CSI as...The Body.

Jason:  Right.
Chico:  Better than K-Fed.
Jason:  Who isn't?
Chico:  But given Cliffhangers this week... I wouldn't be surprised.
Gordon: Care to explain what happened this week on TPIR that led us to this sorry fate?
Chico:  I'd be happy to. Edward Parker guesses $40 on a $24 mixer. Hans moves up 16 spots. You can only move up 25 before flying off the cliff. Then he guesses $55 on a $39 shaver. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what happens next.
Jason:  Grissom investigates.
Gordon: Should Edward need an interrogation from the GSNN Police?
Chico:  (plays "Who Are You") You know how we do. Send the grunts to do the grunt work, then I show up and put my sunglasses on and off for dramatic effect.
Jason:  Just one question, "What were you thinking?"
Chico:  He'll be back, J... *puts on shades* Wild Hans can't be broken.
Gordon: Too bad we didn't have We The Jury this week
Chico:  There's always next week... *takes off shades*
Gordon: Last one...

We talked earlier about the European players as robots on That's The Question. As we're getting into the spirit of Halloween, would the show be any better if it had a Cyberman Vs. a Cylon.

Jason:  Cylon...the new version....MEOW!
Chico:  The Cylon would own the Cyberman.. and the Cylon would be Tricia Helfer, host of Canada's Next Top Model. And thus we go Full Circle...  Hmm. .. Full Circle and We the Jury... I think we have next week's show planned.
Jason:  Yeah we do.
Gordon: right now we have planned...a break
Jason:  And then...Da Big Finish!

(Brought to you by the Project Runway Do-It-Yourself Designer Kit, now with extra sweatshop labor! Fabric, Wages, and Heidi Klum not included)

Gordon: Are there Designer blow-up dolls that you can buy with the set?
Jason:  That's the deluxe version.
Chico:  We don't have the budget for the deluxe version!
Gordon: The cheating accusations are in the deluxe version too, right?
Jason:  Yes. It's the special card in the game.
Gordon: So while we're at it and we get to The Big Finish...who does win
Project Runway?
Jason:  I am going to say Jeffrey---to blow everyone's minds.
Chico:  Nope. I'm going with Michael.
Gordon: Should Jeffery win, the show's credibility takes a huge hit. They can't do that. Michael wins. Amazing Race  - who's next to lose?
Chico:  Team Rah Rah Rah! AKA Dustin & Candice (or are they the Team Miss USA?)
Jason:  Miss Americas
Chico:  Thank you. Forgot which is which. They all look alike.
Jason:  I will go with that.
Gordon: Make it a 3some. Whoo-hoo. Are you watching Vas O No Vas after The Amazing Race?
Chico:  Can't. Don't get the TEL yet.
Gordon: Jay?
Jason:  Si. I am going to sample it.
Chico:  And what happens next on Dancing?
Jason:  Non-elimination week.
Gordon: Non-elimination week - but we won't know it until Elimination night. Last one - With less U.S. competition, will Gordon make another $100 this week in his Poker Bank Account?
Chico:  I'm going to say yes.
Jason:  Yes.
Chico:  And then if he's smart, he'll find a way to access it. Like I access his viewer mail. First up, from our very own Pierre Kelly...

From: Pierre Kelly


Have you caught episodes of CBS' "Dance Revolution?" It's a good show.

 

Chico:  Thanks, Pierre. Yeah, I caught a couple of shows of that. It's actually pretty good for what it is... a kiddie version of "So You Think You Can Dance". It airs CBS Saturday mornings.
Gordon: Its not bad for what it is. It's not meant for adults
Chico:  Which explains the hopped up Australian dude hosting. And the Kidz Bop singers dancing...err... dancers singing... err... you get it.
Gordon: Pretty much. I mean as a  kids show, it holds its own
Jason:  Basically a competition show for a $20,000 scholarship.
Chico:  And it's E/I, which is noble, in and of itself.
Jason:  Fitness, diet, exercise...it's all good.
Gordon: Ok. Next email is from...well, I won't say who its from for the obvious reasons.
Chico:  Lowering the cone of silence...
Jason:  Blindfold on...


To: WLTI
From: identity withheld


Bigger than Wheel of fortune, Faster than who wants to be a Millionaire and more exciting than Deal or No Deal, is the only way to describe the totally new game show I've developed...
 

Gordon: I'll stop right there.
Chico:  What does one say about that?
Jason:  We have to educate the masses every few weeks.
Gordon: We love to give advice on how to help you with pitching or copyrighting a show. I love helping people.
Chico:  ... even though... *breathes* WE ARE NOT CONNECTED WITH ANY PRODUCTION COMPANY OR NETWORK!
Chico:  And... exhale.
Gordon: HOWEVER. GSNN IN NO WAY is interested in hearing any sort of proposal. There are many people on this site that want to develop their own games, and we don't want to hear from a lawyer later on from you that you emailed us something that we have already thought up in our own talented brains.
Chico:  So we'll give you the how-to... The how-long and the how-much is all on you.
Jason:  Pretty much.
Chico:  So there you go. Now you're equipped to pitch. Go and sell sell sell.
Gordon: I got another one
Jason:  Ok.
Gordon: This one from Ben Wiles. Thanks, Ben!

From: Ben Wiles


I haven't seen 1 vs. 100 yet, but I'm planning to watch on Friday.  My question is, as good as the concept might be, how long can it last if the producers insist on stacking the "Mob" with ringers? Nothing against Nancy Christy, Kevin Olmstead, and Paul Bailey, but counting on them to miss a question is not exactly the formula for the kind of big pay-off needed to launch the show to DoND status.
 

Jason:  I don't consider it "ringers" per se. You can't have 100 idiots, or 100 geniuses. And besides...there is always a question that will trip up somebody.
Chico:  Well, that's one of the beauties of the Mob, is that it's a cross section
Jason:  I mean I fit many categories: legal assistant, game show winner, wrestling fan...you know how I roll.
Chico:  So you're not stacking the deck per se, so much as you're incorporating into the cross section.
Gordon: There's more...


To: WLTI
From: Ben Wiles


Plus, did incoming contestants know the deck would be so stacked against them when they agreed to do the show?  Something here doesn't pass the smell test...
 

Jason:  Ben, I dont think so. I think it smells pretty fine to me.
Gordon: I think that if you're going up against 100 people, you know the contestant coordinators aren't going to fill the group with 100 people from the Paris Hilton school of Brainology.
Chico:  You have a chance at $1 million. You think they're going to make it easy?
Jason:  No kidding.
Gordon: Thanks for the email, Ben
Chico:  Okay, one more. From Eric Barela. Thanks, Eric!

I have enjoyed reading your recaps of my Jeopardy! appearances.  I really hope it isn't the last you hear from me either!  We'll just have to wait and see.
 

Gordon: We hope it isn't the last time we hear from you as well. Thanks for the email.
Chico:  Thanks, Eric. We aim to please
Jason:  You can write to us anytime.
Chico:  And so can you all. The address is wlti@gameshownewsnet.com. Jason, thanks again.
Jason:  As always.
Chico:  For Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico... Spread the love :)
Jason:  GAME OVERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
