Jason: LOL
Chico: Hummers. Motorcycles. Cowboys tickets. Lawn mowers! We got it all! We're back on WLTI. And we're about to go Full Circle.
Jason: Let's do it.
Chico: You know how this works. If you've seen Chain Reaction, it's kinda like that. If you've seen That's the Question... it's kinda like that, too. Gordon, you'll be competing against Jason. Jason, you're competing against Gordon. Jason, you lost some pride in Categories, this is a chance to get some of that back.
Jason: No kidding.
Gordon: ok
Chico: Okay, first up...

(3, 4) Flavor of Love troublemaker.

Jason: NEW YORK
Gordon: Don't you have to ding, first?
Chico: Yes you do.
Jason: Gordon, take it. I'll give it to you for not buzzing.
Chico: I was going to give it to him anyway.
Jason: Ok.

Gordon: 7, Jason 0.

Chico: The story behind it... she was runner up on Flavor of Love, lost to Deelishis.
Jason: But gets a show of her own in the process.
Chico: And after proclaiming her love for Flav, basically gave him the one-finger salute after she ... yeah.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: You think VH1 has their new Trista?
Chico: I've seen New York... I'd go for Trista. I've HEARD New York. Thanks to her, network censors still have jobs. Okay, ringers ready and...

(6) 2/3 of the Chain Reaction bonus

Jason: BUZZ
Chico: Block?
Jason: DOUBLE
Chico: No. Gordon?
Gordon: ?
Chico: No guess. It was MINUTE. New York... Minute.
Jason: Got it.
Chico: And two thirds of a round is one minute. Sixty seconds. We're getting close to the end of the season. Will we see a second?
Jason: I think so.
Gordon: Definitely.
Chico: Here's hoping. It's deserved. It's gotten smarter over the run. I think Dylan's settling.
Jason: Yes sir.
Chico: Next up. Ringers ready, and....

(4) Meredith Vieira gets this every afternoon at 12:30:27p ET.

Jason: I have no idea
Chico: (crickets)
Gordon: ?
Chico: (BZZZ!) She gets a HAND. Minute... HAND.
Jason: Got it.
Chico: I included this because of guest hosting on Millionaire. Any short lists?
Jason: Wayne Brady,
Gordon: Tom Bergeron
Jason: Donny Osmond :-)
Chico: Drew Carey? Maybe? I set up e-mail in TNG this week, so if you guy want to send your suggestions, I'd love to hear them. It's still Gordon's game though.

Gordon: 7 Jason :0.

Chico: Next up... Remember "Hand"...

(3) Scratch _____ Ticket.

Jason: BUZZ
Chico: Block?
Jason: off
Gordon: lol
Chico: Hallelujah!
Jason: At least I didn't say job :-)
Chico: Okay, we went over the Deal scratchies already, so...

Gordon: 7, Jason :3.

Chico: Ringers ready, and....

(6) Runway had one this week.

Gordon: ding
Chico: Pepper?
Gordon: finale
Chico: Off... finale? No.  Block?
Jason: BUZZ! WINNER
Chico: No. Record. as in record audience.. 5.4 million watched it. Of course, it would've been 5.4 million and 1, but, as I always say... "I don't get Bravo"... and I don't need a hug.
Jason: CHICO NEEDS A HUG!!!! HUG!
Chico: I DON'T NEED A HUG!!!
Gordon: HUG
Chico: Y'all some sick bastards =p
Gordon: Yah
Jason: Ain't it the truth
Chico: Next one...

80s dance craze seen on SYTYCD (8)

Jason: BUZZ
Chico: Jason?
Jason: BREAKING
Chico: And Jason takes the lead
Jason: Fist Pump

Gordon: 7. Jason: 11.

Chico: Okay, final one.. Remember, Breaking - ? - New York... Gordon can tie it. Jason can win it.. Buzzers ready, and....

"Deal" shoots daytime pilot with Arsenio Hall as host (4).

Gordon: no clue
Jason: None
Chico: I need to make these less hard. That's NEWS. And that is news. Thoughts?
Jason: Big news. This could be a resurrection in his career. Good choice.
Chico: Could be.  Okay, Jason. Victory is yours. Now you get to share your opinions for a bit. Floor is yours.
Jason: Everyone, if you don't watch Vas o No Vas. You are missing a treat. It is an amazing version of DonD. Sundays nights, 9PM, Telemundo. Watch it. You won't be sorry.
Chico: Another channel I don't get.
Gordon: Give Chico another hug!
Chico:  So while I get hugged out of submission... AGAIN... You watch this break here. Big finish next!

(Brought to you by Flavor of Love... the cologne. A smell that says... YEEEEEEEEEEEAH, BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!111)

Jason: Do you really wanna smell like Flav?
Gordon: Uhhh...no.
Chico: Neither would I... But hey... you smell that...smells like... THE BIG FINISH!
Gordon: The Amazing Race - Can the Coal Miners escape last place?
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: Too many couples
Chico: So coal miners... gone. Dancing... are we looking at Monique's last gas?
Jason: Nope. Joey's gone. Big shock this week.
Chico: We're about due for a shock then, aren't we?
Gordon: I agree with Jason. The Chaos Theory is set for an upset
Jason: Yes. Chaos rules.
Chico: Speaking of chaos, a guy on Wheel owes $180,000... and wins $47,000. That was on Friday's show. The next step?
Jason: I don't know...can you make a career out of going on game shows? :-)
Chico: I don't know. Let's ask Leszek Pawlowicz =p
Jason: Or Bob Harris.
Gordon: or KenJen.
Chico: Good book, by the way. Just finished it.
Jason: Great book.
Chico: Final question before mail: World Series. Who ya got?
Jason: Who cares? But if I were a betting man. Tigers in 5
Chico: The people of Detroit and St. Louis, who are also reading this =p
Gordon: World Seriesssszzzzzzzzz
Chico: Well, I'm going Tigers in 5 also. Meanwhile, someone wake Gordon up from his dream of a subway series. We have mail to attend to.
Gordon: Mail!
Chico: First is from Barbara Coffey. Thanks, Barbara!

Jason: Hey Barbara!
Chico: Thanks, Barbara. I do know where you can get tickets to be a part of the audience/Mob. NBC.com/casting is your link for that.
Jason: For audiences....tvtix.com is a good place for it.
Chico: It's where we get our tickets.
Gordon: And the good news is that with 10 new shows in production, they will be actively looking for Mob Members
Chico: So Barbara, best bet... Get on it post haste. More mail?
Gordon: I got some
Chico: From?
Gordon: James Dinan. Want to know the TRASH Regionals this year?
Chico: Always.

Chico: Thanks, James. You have dates. Now get a team and go do battle in the tradition of your gladiatorial forbearers. Next... Remember when you said that Ken Hidaka mailed us about something earlier? Well, he's baaaack.

Chico: 1) Six figures is better than nothing. Taking the Venusian approach to DoND.
Jason: Yes, but some one has to have STONES of steel, eventually.
Chico: 2) You don't know what you have in your case until Howie opens it. Your main course is to get in, ride the board, and get out. But I think when it comes to DoND, you're going to have more Venusians than Martians. My guess is you're only going to see a million dollar win if it is a result of a deal on a freakishly huge board.
Gordon: Remember a few weeks ago during Big Money week, when the 2 values left on the Board were $750,000 and $1,000,000? I think that's what would need to happen.
Jason: Yeah. When you have the $100 and $1M left...uh huh.
Chico: Then you have an offer of $600,000. I would live with myself if I lost less than I stood to gain here, no? So there's another tip from me: Deal when you know you stand to win more than you stand to lose. And that's just a good life lesson. One more mail, then?
Gordon: Sure.
Jason: I have time
Chico: It's from our boy Jason Wuthrich.
Jason: Yo Jason.

Jason: Jason, you rule :-)
Chico: Okay, I'll own up to the Stack the Deck error.  I'll try better next time. But in the meantime, I am prepared to take my beating like a man.
Jason: THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER.
Gordon: Sure! (WHack!)
Chico: We're also prepared to take your e-mails at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com.
Jason: We love them.
Gordon: Yes we do.
Chico: We're done until next week. For Gordon Pepper, Jason Block, and everyone at Game Show Newsnet, I'm Chico Alexander. I'll see you at the fair! Spread the love :-)
Jason: There you go!
