Chico:  Because what is Blake doing nowadays? That's right. Nothing.
Gordon: He likes to be baited?
Chico:  And switched.
Gordon: And drawn and quartered, apparently. Next up - some infiltration. We'll see what happens when the shoe is on the other foot - or when the contestant is on the other show. Starting with....

Blake and Jim. Could Jim last any longer than Blake on the Island - or would he have been the first one out?

Chico:  He would've been gone a long time ago. Same with any Apprentice wannabe.
Gordon: You don't think that talking about how the water could cure your ills would have helped him?
Chico:  No. Getting food, building shelter, that would help him.
Gordon: ok - next  one?
Chico:  Okay.

What if the Paolos were on Family Feud?

Gordon: Fairly well, actually.
Chico:  How well?
Gordon: The problem with them isn't that they aren't smart. The problem is that they don't get along with the other people in the sandbox. Fortunately, that isn't a requirement on the Feud, so I'll say 2 day champs.
Chico:  Okay, fair enough. Next?
Gordon: Next -

What if the Supermarket Sweep was part of the Reward Challenge on Survivor? You have 3 minutes to shop around and get all of the items needed in cultural traditions. Whoever gets the most will be able to bring everything back to tribe.

Chico:  I'd watch :) That would actually be more creative than what we've been seeing over the past couple of years.
Gordon: True. Next?
Chico:  Okay... host switch.

What if Ryan Cabrera hosted Idol and Ryan Seacrest hosted Score?

Chico:  Would we expect a performance with the Idols every week?
Gordon: I don't think it would make much difference. Ryan did make Idol, but I think that the show is solid enough to have a lesser host it and still keep the value. I think Score stands out on its own too and Seacrest would add value to an already decent show.
Chico:  Right-o. Next up?
Gordon: We've seen Rob and Amber on The Amazing Race -

What couple would you like to see the most on OPPOSITE tribes in Survivor?

Chico:  Trista and Ryan...That way.. fangs come out...Competition on...Blood spills everywhere!
Gordon: You just want to see Trista get ejected from another show.
Chico:  Yes. This is true.
Gordon: Well, at least you are man enough to admit it. Last one?
Chico:  Okay, one more. It's a freeball.

Put one contestant on But Can You Sing. You only get one. Any celebrity you wouldn't mind see singing.

Gordon: None of the ones up there. Does that count?
Chico:  Nope. Name one. Now.
Gordon: Fine. I'm going to go out of left field on this one. We'll go with Wink Martindale, because he has a gold record.
Chico:  One word. Regis. Him against Larry Holmes. That's a match. Okay, we're running damn near out of time. Let's get right to Viewer Mail, shall we?
Gordon: We got any?
Chico:  John Lee writes again.
Gordon: let's hear it
Chico:  Thanks again, John!

Chico:  Might I, Gordon?
Gordon: You may.
Chico:  That rule was added when the show expanded to an hour in 1992. It wasn't in the original canon, but it was accepted until the new 300-to-win format three years ago. So, there you go.
Gordon: Sounds good. Is that it?
Chico:  That's it. And if you want to fill our mailbags and our hearts... with love... tell'em what to do, G.
Gordon: You can get me Halloween Candy!
Chico:  Aren't you diabetic?
Gordon: Uh....no.
Chico:  Well, in that case, the address is wlti@gameshownewsnet.com. I like peanut butter cups and anything with caramel in it.
Gordon: Ah. peanut butter cups works here, too. A special thanks to...uh...Chico and Gordon! Yay!
Chico:  Yay!
Gordon: We'll be back next week with a bunch of people, and more stuff.
Chico:  We'll do better next time! Until then.. OH! One more thing!
Gordon: What?
Chico:  Tuesday, October 25.
Gordon: Ah
Chico:  Catch GSNN as we and Game Show Congress invade The Price is Right. It's a joint... joint. You know, a team effort.
Gordon: We do indeed.
Chico:  And will we rake it in? Well, you'll just have to find out.
Gordon: That's right, so until then... He's Chico, I'm Gordon. The show is WLTI. Game Over!
Chico:  Love worth spreading right there.
Gordon: Spread it
Chico:  Peace out :)
