THE COMMENTARY
Reality Editor Gordon Pepper and News Editor Chico Alexander provides
commentary.
(This show was recorded on January 14, 2004)
Chico: STarting March 15, I'll be known just as CA, and he'll be known just as GP. The show will STILL be WLTI, though, so you don't have anything to worry about.
Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, as he attempts to wake up Chico from Vacxation
Chico: I'm awake, dude, I'm awake...and judging from my cheat sheet, we've got a LOT to cover..and we're all going to squeeze it in to a one-page sum-up for your amusement.
Gordon: We have 3 new shows that premiered on Monday, 2 new ones later on this week, and we Take-A-Side on everything from Survivor All-Stars to World Idol.
Chico: First thing's first, obviously... the GSN format change. Biggest non-story of the year. Needless to say that it only took that much to get the fan community up in arms and outraged, but why?
Gordon: I couldn't disagree with you any more. From my first look at it, I can see why Bob Boden would want to leave. It looks less like GSN and more like CRAP
Chico: Biggest non-story of the year. So far, it comes out as a "ten-spot" cycle and a fancier wrapping.
Gordon: There are 5 new shows on the docket - and lets break each one down. We'll start with Mole night, as we get editions of all the Moles and a celebrity vcersion - your thoughts?
Chico: Moley moley moley... I'm still holding out for new civvie Moles, but these'll do.
Gordon: I think the purchassing of the Moles is a good idea, because there have been people clamoring for that.
Gordon: GSN, when I was talking about Melana Scantlin wanting her own show, I was KIDDING, I didn't MEAN for you to actually give her her own show
Chico: Please don't get her... We have money...
Gordon: I was not nuts on how the Travel Channel did their version of the World Series of Black Jack, so I hope that GSN will do a better job. If they do though, then it's a keeper, so I'm 2-0 so far on the changes
Chico: Get ready to be knocked out, then... Wednesday. Joe Millionaire and Fake-a-Date. One word, GSN.... WHY?
Gordon: GSN thinks that Evan will sell, and I can understand their point of thinking - but I think that in terms of Joe Millionaire, it was the idea that sold and drew the aiudience, and not Evan, in terms of the marketability. The idea of Fak-a-Date is not sound and I dont think it will work, so this is the first zero on the chart (2-1)
Chico: Understandably so. This is one of those ideas that only works in theory. But then again, we could watch it and have egg on our faces, so...
Moving onto Thursday, we've got GSN's second reality sitcom (and the first show from Canada) in the form of Kenny vs. Spenny... Uh.. I'm confused, is this supposed to be a game or a comedy or a shtick, what's up with this? You can smell the sarcasm, can't you?
Gordon: Ok, back to Thursday - last time I checked, this was the GAME SHOW network - this is the one show that gets my head scratching and my blood boiling. WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? This is not a game, this seems stupid and this is Canada's answer to combining a Game Show, a Reality show and Jackass. This looks horrific on paper and I don't see anyone watching this.
Chico: That one gets a has by the L's. And with SpyTV on Fridays, the new GSN will be forever locked on as a draw. But WAIT! Bonus: the Video Game Invasion doc hosted by Tony Hawk... I could've seen this on TechTV and G4. Well, it ain't the Game Show Network anymore, that's for sure.
Chico: But such is the cruel and bitter business that is cable television.
Gordon: How coul d Spy TV be a draw? It's not game show related, it did terrible numbers on other stations, and I don't see it doing any better GAME SHOWS PEOPLE!!! THis is aboiut GAME SHOWS!!!!!
Chico: apparently that's not what GSN's about anymore. But you do bring up an interesting point: New byline: The Network for Games... SpyTV... Not a game. But as a whole, it's just the same old network with a more concentrated area for crap (Black Jack and Mole exempted)
Gordon: Unfortunately, the concentration of crap is in the Prime Time area. GSN = Games Substituted by Network attractions?
Chico: That's GSNA, dude.
Gordon: Games Substituted by Nothingworthwhile?
Chico: Okay, moving on before Gordon cheats further...
Gordon: What's looking more appealing to you - Kenny Vs. Spenny or Throut and Neck?
Chico: Throut and Neck, but only because of Rebecca Grant. In fact, it's probably the only reason why I watched the US version of Robot Wars.
Gordon: Rebecca is a babe, isn't she?
Chico: Last week it was the Love Buffet, now it's Throut and Neck. I swear we're going to get you some decent references some day... Anywho, onto brighter topics, namely CBS announcing the worst-kept secret of 2003: the Survivor All-Stars cast.
Chico: Dominated by castaways from the Outback series (no doubt the best of the bunch), we've got a team of schemers -- with Amber, a team of nice guys -- with Jerri... and Richard's team. No doubt that people are going to go after the big guns first - those, of course, being the four Sole Survivors of the group: Richard, Jenna, Tina, and Ethan. Well, the first three more so than Ethan.
Gordon: As we discussed before, I think we both said that the people who will win this are the people who got booted who learned the most. I completely agree with you that the winners will be the first people targeted - UNLESS they get with their old alliances first. My little birdies also tell me that there could be romance - and that some people on the show are threatening to sue CBS - so this should be a fun ride
Chico: Oh yeah... Back to alliances for a bit. It seems like Tina has an edge going by numbers alone.
Gordon: There are more outback members - but all of them have an axe to grind against Tina - especially Jerri and Amber, so I would say that Tina could be in trouble
Chico: Jerri for being a known liar or Amber for being a known stupid head?
Gordon: Both - but they both blame Tina for taking them out of the game - so she better be careful about them
Chico: And what better place to put all of that fracas than at the tail end of the Super bowl. This is going to be one to watch...
Gordon: Now if only we could have a good Superbowl game to watch...
Chico: And speaking of watching... or in this case, not watching, after six years and numerous overhauls, Hollywood Squares finally gets the axe. You saw that one coming, didn't you?
Gordon: Unfortunately we all did, and the damage done by WHoopi was too much to save the show by the Fonz
Chico: I have to agree with you there. I have a feeling that if they did what they did in the last two years before, they would've had a longer shelf life. But in the end, it's what happened, and now we have until May to get ready for it.
Gordon: Ironically, it was the Fonz who appeard after the shark was jumped, so to speak. Let's add this to it - Squares my be getting some company on the cancellation block - what's going on with Pyramid?
Chico: I have no idea! I mean, you like it, I like it, it grows in ratings, Joey's from Friends will soon be on it, and all that equals cancellation. What kind of new math bull is this?
Gordon: According to variety.com, it's the new math bull, as variety.com reports that the Pyramid people have been alerted that the show will not be getting renewed
Chico: For the first time, I'm completely clueless. I can't find one thing to explain it. What do you think?
Gordon: Maybe someone was upset that Estelle Harris and William Shatner didn't sing with Donny for the Christmas Show?
Chico: NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Anything but that!
Gordon: I can see it now - the Soup Nazi decorating the set with ladles, George Steinbrenner and Derek Jeter are the special guests, and WIlliam Shatner dresses up in his favorite Full Moon VIdeo horror costume.
Chico: Uhhh...yeah...On the other end of the spectrum, though, Richard Karn won't have to sing for his supper, as Fremantle Media grants him another season...Took a long time to think about it, didn't you? There's the explanation for the Pyramid scheme.
Gordon: Good for Fremantle. Despite Louis Anderson's (and our) predictions, they see it when a good show gets the good ratings, RIchard Karn should be commended for establishing a good show - and good for Fremantle to continue to tinker around with some of the things that didn't work.
Chico: Alright, that's a pretty good break point... Commercial?
Gordon: Sure. When we come back, even MORE pushing and FLushing, and we may have one of the most heated Take-A-Sides' Yet
(Today's show brought to you by STORE. We're having a half-off sale on Amber Brkich. Because she's half off.)
Gordon: Would it be a bake sale, because she's half-baked?
Chico: Nope, she's all baked =p
Gordon: Baked Amber. Mmmmmmmmmmmm mm goooooooooood
Chico: We're back on the middle of January edition of WLTI and it's time for the all-too-popular... Take a Side1
Gordon: You know how this goes - we throw up a question and we take sides. What's the first question?
World Idol. The better man won. Agree or Disagree.
Chico: I personally say ... no. I mean, not to be biased but Kelly did a far better job at singing than Kurt did. Kurt was just "Hi, I can sing U2..."
Gordon: Yes - but he did a smash-bang up job of singing U2. As a casual U2 listener, I thought he was dead-on in his voice and maybe he should have been on Performing As. If you only got one shot at singing - Kurt beat Kelly. Even if Kelly weas technically better, you know that no American will ever win World Idol. You have too much European influence on the voting. Any good American will lose to any good European. Loos at the Pan-Arabic states, where Kelly almost didn't clear the Top 5. Enough said.
Chico: Because it's just a souped-up karaoke driven international version of the Eurovision Song Contest. We concentrate so much on owning the piece that we forget that the victory's just really REALLY hollow. It's bull(^_^), I tell you.
Gordon: I actually liked the Eurovision song contest - maybe thats because the acts have to use their OWN material. What would really make it a cool World Idol is if they all had to use a song from their album.
Chico: That would be the bomb concert right there... Okay, next up, dude.
Pyramid or Hollywood Squares - which one of these possibly cancelled shows should not be cancelled?
Chico: I only get to save one, right?
Gordon: Right - and I save the other and curse you out for abandoning it
Chico: Alrighty then. Pyramid didn't get a fair shake. It was just abandoned. I say save that, and let's let the chips fall. If you look at Hollywood Squares, it seems like it was a wreck to salvage in the first place! You said so yourself, Whoopi did too much damage.
Gordon: How DARE you abandon Hollywood Squares!!!! After everything that Henry WInkler has done for the show - and Estelle Harris was even on that show. You just have an anti-Seinfeld bias, don't you? ADMIT IT!!!
Chico: Obviously everything the Fonz did for the show didn't help it much. Maybe a small blip at the beginning of the season, but that was pretty much it. Now you're dancing all over the place trying to deliver a solid product while chomping away the budget.. You just can't! It's impossible! You name for me one instance where the reverse was true.
Gordon: The damage was done to the show before Winkler came on. If you had that format now - 2 out of 3 - which is MUCH better than what you had it with Whoopi, and if you had people who turned off because of Whoopi turn back on again, it would get better ratings. Speaking of ratings, which show had higher ones, Pyramid or Squares?
Chico: Squares. Which of those ratings were actually climbing? And you can't say that that is a moot point, because obviously it isn't.
Gordon: Pyramid's ratings is climbing - but the point is that if you move Squares to Pyramid's time slot and ran the show next season, you'd get even better ratings and a higher quyality show than Pyramid, who grossly cut budget by not even giving away $100,000 in it's $100,000 tournament!
Chico: No you can't, because they've already committed to "The Insider." You can't rewrite history just because you think it sounds better on paper. You have to take everything into account. Even you were wondering how low that this show has to go before it gets cancelled...and here we are.
Gordon: You could have 'The Insider' and Squares if you moved Squares to a different tiome slot
Chico: Like where?
Gordon: Where Pyramid's slot was - replace the cancelled Pyramid, pair it with Feud, who now needs a companion show, and watch the ratings move. Better yet take all of the game shows and make a morning block out of it.
Chico: Like that happened before, Feud and Pyramid were paired for all five years of the Feud's existence in my area. Nope. Can't do it. Only a proactive effort of saving the show would've worked. Instead, you have Pyramid, which works well on its own, and something I feel like I'm being forced to watch.
Gordon: Would you rather watch the Hollywood Squares and Pyramid for an hour, or the Wayne Brady SHow?
Chico: ... Well, not the Wayne Brady show.
Gordon: Ok - there's hope for you then. Next question?
Average Joe 1: Should Melana have picked Adam over Jason?
Chico: I speak for all AJs out there saying that he was screwed!
Gordon: How in the world was he screwed?
Chico: He was the victim of an incredibly shallow woman who was completely convinced that her head was being messed with from the get-go. I mean, anyone can see how she was just fawning over the new guys. She was just looking for an out. She wasn't looking for love. She was looking for a piece of ass!
Gordon: True - but that's how you play the game. That's all it is - a game. You don't want to see a game - you just wanted to see a show where the good guy wins. Was Adam the better guy? Of course he was. Does the best guy win? Of course not - not all the time - but you don't rig the show so that the best guy wins. You play the game for the ending - and to be honest, Jason was the better player.
Chico: how was he the better player? Because he played with the subjects mind more? Because he just happened to be there?
Gordon: Lets just say that Melana was looking for a piece of ass - Who had the better ass? Jason. Adam had money and the brains, but as we have gone over time and time again, she didn't want brains, she wanted ass. The best ass and body wins the game and Jason was a the better player. I may be the nicest guy in the world, but if I went up in a talent contest against SImon Cowell, then I'd get blown away, regardless of nice or not nice.
Chico: Okay. Let's just say if it was you and Jason... Clearly I would want Jason to win, because, hey... you know?
Gordon: I'm a bigger ass then Jason?
Chico: You said it, not me. =p
Gordon: May a camel park in your bed, use your mattress as a filling station and use your pillow as a depository. Not all of the good guys or best players win. Rudy, one of the biggest Fan Favorites, didn't win in Survivor 1. Rob C., one of the best players in Survivor History, didn't win in Survivor 6 - and Jenna, who had no business being in the Final 4, wins the whole thing. The game was played out. Adam's part of the game was to convince Melana that his charm, class, intelligence and bank account should be viewed at better than Jason's Fabio-type looks and big salami in the pants. It didn't work, and that's why he lost, not because he got screwed, but because he didn't play hard enough and the miniscule personality that Jason had was enough for Melana to pick him.
Chico: I still think it's a bunch of nonsense... Big salami, where do you get this stuff? Okay, think we have one more...
Gordon: My Salami has a first name, it J-A-S-O-N. My Turkey has a first name, too, it's C-H-I-C...ahem, ok Next question...
Chico: Better a turkey than a chicken, dude...
Gordon: Who you callin' CHicken?
Chico: Next question...
Finishing out 2003, Was there a Worse Game Show than Are You Hot? And if so, which one?
Gordon: Since you've started every one, Mr. Chico - you can start off this one, too
Chico: Three words: Married By America,.
Chico: Hey, the voting public show works... The relationship show works... Everyone likes to get married, right? Bonus!
Chico: God this was dumb.. and thanks to my cable company, I didn't even have a chance to watch all of it!
Gordon: How are you going to tell me that this was the worst show when you never saw the full show?
Chico: It had to be bad when the outcome is that NO ONE won, right? This is one of those shows that worked on paper, but not in practice. I mean, it was just dumb all around!
Gordon: You got lucky that you didn't have to see that dreck becuase the networks, in a rare move of rationality, decided not to air it. I agree with you, but since I have to be different, my vote goes to a tie between Are You Hot and another show that you got to see in your area - a show so bad that it didn't finish it's run on ABC. I'm talking about ALL-AMERICAN GIRL. At least the production values on the FOX show was good. This was dreadful - what's the point about having an All-American girl if the judges aren't even from America?
Chico: Aw man! I completely forgot about AAG.
Gordon: You saw that one, right?
Chico: Was it THAT bad that I had to subconsciously drop it from my memory?
Gordon: I guess so - it was fairly wretched - thay shows the finale on ABC Family and even THAT had lower-than-usual numbers.
Chico: To quote David Hussey: "The winner was promised $250,000 and a management deal, but after public uninterest and a network change, she'll be lucky to get out with her two front teeth and bus change to Sheboygan!" Didn't we tell you this was going to be entertaining to watch?
Gordon: Unfortunately, we did - but I thought Are You Hot was also just as bad - but at least it didn't take itself too seriously. When you have the first episode severely chopped up and having the women run in an obstacle course, that's usually a bad sign. Let's get the Big Board up for the Stinkers of the year and let's rate them. We haven't used the Board in a while
Chico: I need an applause button when we bring up the board...Okay, Subject: WORST Shows Ever of 2003:
Gordon: clap clap clap clap clap clap clap
Chico: Obviously All-American Girl, where the winner wins and that's all we hear about her.
Gordon: Are You Hot, of course, which is a fine experiment of bringing in 80's celebrities to judge 2000's talent
Gordon: whats the next one from you?
Chico: Married by America, which resulted in no marriages and at least one pissy Fox affiliate
Gordon: I would also like to add Cupid, the only show where the target woman was unlikable enough to have the man that was completely inappropriate for her finish in second - and possibly finish in first if she didn't literally tell the audience who she wanted to hook up with.
Chico: Which also proved that Simon Cowell, as hardy as he is, is only a quarter of a greater whole... And speaking of which, American Juniors, while the talent was likable, suffered from flawed execution, preemption after preemption, and public uninterest.
Gordon: I hate to pounce on little kids, but I agree that it's worthy of ranking. My third offering, speaking of talent wanna-bes is FAME, which was the direct version of American Idol's lite, but with a vastly inferior host and judges, and a winner who lied just to get himself in the competition.
Chico: Hate to do this, but you gotta put Can You Tell? there. Good game, but you put in a panel who's constantly searching for a joke and give everyone $500 from the start, and it just loses appeal quicky.
Gordon: If they played it like a game, it would be good - but they didn't, so it tanked. Speaking of tanked, my final selection is a 2 parter - the first one is National Lampoon's funny money, which seemed to be a haven for the unfunny comedians from Last Comic Standing. Section number 2, in that same vein is Dat Phan, who is easily the least deserving contestant to ever win an audience-fuelled voting competition
Chico: So eight shows and one unfunny person. It's time to vote.
Gordon: So we're down to the Bottom 5
Chico: All we're missing is Debbie Allen's giant stick
Gordon: I've got her stick for you right here - and I'll stick with athat as #5
Gordon: This is where is gets hard, because we're now talking about shows that looked rotten on paper to begin with
Chico: 5 - Are You Hot. And to think it would've worked if it wasn't for that little war...And at least JD Roberto is working on a legitimate job (so much as Shop Til You Drop is legitimate)
Gordon: I'm going to differ and put All American Girl here. AAG had the right idea, just the wrong way to go about doing it. It was dreadful, but there were worse concepts
Chico: I'm going to put AAG one rung below AYH, simply because it just didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Gordon: Are You Hot for me is #3 - take a bad host, washed up stars, and people who are full of them selves, and you get a really bad show
Gordon: CUPID is #2. This had bad written all over it. The format was awful, the host was awful and the audience hated Lisa so much that they were ready to stick here with some unintelligle man from Austria
Chico: Note to hated bitch: the audience controls your fate.
Gordon: and they almost did her in, too, which leads us to #1 - Married By America. The show so bad that 1. It gets yanked by half of the country, 2. The show lies about how long the couples were actually with each other, 3. there was no ending and 4. it was so vile, that here at Game Show News Net, Chico, Anthony and myself all agreed to rotate through it in terms of covering the show, because none of us wanted the torture of sitting and covering the whole season.
Chico: There's your Big Board, and your Take a Side, and when we return, it's toilet time!
Gordon: before we finish this now 80 hour segment, a special dishonorable mention goes to I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, Joe Millionaire 2 and Cram
(This Break has been sent to you by the Gordon Pepper/Soupy Sales Pyramid Scheme Foundation. All you have to do is take out all of the little green pieces of paper in your wallet and mail them to me, at 555 Cherr...oh, hello there, Mr. Police Officer. Well, never mind then and just write letters for Pyramid's renewal.)
Chico: .... oh, we're back?! Oh. Welcome back! I've gotta go get the pluger for Push or Flush.
Chico: As you know, since the last time we did this we had an influx of newness bestowed upon us.
Gordon: Such as Forever Eden, House of Dreams, Average Joe 3, Last Comic Standing 2, Kenny Vs. Spenny and My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance
Chico: First up in the ring is "Forever Eden", or "what happens when Paradise Hotel goes on longer than expected."
Gordon: Hello Paradise Hotel, eternal - you collect money and gifts as long as you stay on the show - until you get eliminated. You forfeit everything if you decide to leave on your own. Its the soap opera meets Sale of the Century
Gordon: Are you buying or selling?
Chico: You know, when something doesn't really work, you try something else, you don't try a rehash. That said.. Going ONCe... Going TWICE.... (FLUSH)... ohhh no sale.
Gordon: The problem is that A. in terms of demographics, it worked, as they are bringing back Paradise Hotel for the Summer. B. I actually LIKED Paradise hotel once they turned it into a game - and now that everyone who is going in knows it's a game, it should be a lot of fun. If they tweaked what I didn't like, then this one's a keeper. (PUSH)
Chico: Okay, next is Average Joe 3: Adam Returns. Adam gets the table turned as women are competing for HIS attention. Well, every AJ has his day.. and this is Adam's. Can't wait. (PUSH)
Gordon: I can. He didn't win AJ #1, and he has a girlfriend. HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. Now WHY are you going to have him do a relationship show IF HE ALREADY HAS A GIRLFRIEND????
Chico: WHAAAAA?! Well, still, it'll be fun to watch
Gordon: According to Reality NewsOnline - 'This will be interesting, as Adam himself told me in our second interview that he didn't really want to date women who already felt they knew him when he didn't know them. "It's weird to go out with someone who likes you before you have ever even spoken to them," he said. Furthermore, he said on the Today show that he was already dating somebody.
Chico: Whoa....We go from a push to a flush hard....
Gordon: A little birdie told me that Adam was seen hanging out with a steady woman. This has farce written all over it. (FLUSH)
Chico: Gordon, get me outta this... next show!
Gordon: Next up - House of Dreams. George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) gives 16 people the opportunity to build and live in their own home. Survrir meets Home Rules. Does it survive or do they get grounded?
Chico: Well, I like George Wendt... And it's kinda the mishmash of the home/reality genres... This one I may sample. (PUSH)
Gordon: We may actually agree on something. This show is cute, and I do want to see what they do with it. I may change my vote later, but right now, I'll push it (PUSH)
Gordon: I think we may agree on this one too - My Big Fat Obnnoxious Fiance. How obnoxious will you be?
Chico: Think it's time to trim the fat, really. I mean, the first show may be funny, but the schtick will get old FAST.
Gordon: I dont even think that the first show will be funny. Here's where I draw the line. Joe Millionaire - everyone signed up for the abuse. Average Joe? Same thing. Shows like Married by America and this one disgust me because NOW you are bringing in family, friends and relatives who never signed up to be humiliated in front of the television. This genre of gameplay needs to end - and it will when people stop watching it (FLUSH)
Chico: Agreed (FLUSH) Next up: the return of the prime time game show? Endemol hopes so, as ABC orders six episodes of "Deal or No Deal", in which 100 people are whittled to one, who can choose between one case with an unknown amount (which may be $2 mill) or among 26 others... which also may be $2 mill.. It's Treasure Hunt for the next milluennium. Ho wcould you NOT like it?
Gordon: I would love it. Deal or No Deal is actually a European import with editions of it in Australia, among other places, so they have the ground work down and they have shown that it works. It sounds like Treasure Hunt Redux - and I loved that show. Now if only they can somehow get Geoff Edwards to host it...(PUSH)
Chico: Nah, he's busy in his personal arcade. But I'd watch anyway. (PUSH) Next up: Kenny vs. Spenny. He's Kenny. He's Spenny. They have nothing better to do than to compete for our amusement. Kinda like what we do here, only when we do it, it's funny and pointful.
Gordon: If they gave me a 6 digit figure to create stupid games that only affact you and me and not have any sort of interactive gaming value for the rest of the community, I'll gladly do it. As for watching that sort of stuff? Well...(FLUSH)
Chico: Flush hard! (FLUSH HARD)
Chico: One more here: Last Comic Standing 2. Like Last Comic Standing... except with a 2
Gordon: Well, we savaged Mr Phan, but I think that the show itself, if it learned from its blunders from the first season, could be worthwhile Summer fare
Chico: Needs more funny, though. Less actual... you know, everything else. I'm going to push it with one hand cradled on the flush button..
Gordon: so its a nurturing push
Chico: Nurture nurture.. You?
Gordon: I'll push it with the plunger handle resting on the flush button (PLUNGER PUSH) We are out of Pushing, or flushing, so we plunge along to the BIG FINISH
Chico: Okay, running out of time here. American Idol 3. Can they do better than the first two?
Gordon: From the birdies, they say that they always exclude the polished singers - maybe this year some of them get in.
Chico: We'll see. It's always one for surprises...
Gordon: Speaking of Surprises - WHO IS THE MOLE?
Chico: I'm playing play along here.. Mark Curry.
Gordon: I'll stay with Dennis Rodman until he gets knocked out
Chico: He's the Worm, not the Mole =p. Okay, hunk torpedo off the port bow. Will Larissa be phased by it?
Gordon: I think Larissa, unlike Melana, is actually letting her guard down. She could walk away with a Joe. You?
Chico: i agree.
Gordon: Would you ever go on a dating show?
Chico: Probably as a LAST resort. You?
Gordon: If they had a no limit stakes poker one, where you could select the girl - OR the money that you made.
Chico: .. I'm there. I'm so there. Okay, we're spent until the next WLTI. Remember, don't forget to show some love to your local game show fanboys by hitting us up at [email protected] or [email protected]. I'm Chico Alexander, he's Gordon Pepper, and until next time... happy birthday... to me
Gordon: Happy candle blowing, dude
Chico: And to all of you... a happy game over...
