The Worst UK Game Show Answers
They say Americans aren't too bright. But stupidity isn't as American as Apple Pie. The Sun Online has a good compilation of stupid people saying stupid things all while other people watch/listen. My personal favorite on this list? The very last one, featured on Daryl's Drivetime on Virgin Radio. Daryl Denham: In which country would you spend shekels? Contestant: Holland? Denham: Try the next letter of the alphabet. Contestant: Iceland? Ireland? Denham (helpfully): It's a bad [telephone connection]. Did you say Israel? Contestant: No. The Sun Online

The Donald: Part 6
Apparently the unemployment rate in the USA is extremely high, because this show isn't going anywhere. According to The Daily Buzz and iWon news, The Apprentice, Donald Trump's way to whore himself into the competition television industry, will be coming back for a sixth season. Even more, the show will move to the West Coast. "Donald has so many recent West Coast projects, that it made perfect sense to change locations," stated Mark Burnett. This show, in my opinion easily 2nd best (Behind The Amazing Race) in the competition genre, does not have a date as to when it will be back as of now. Please remember that Martha Stewart's is cancelled, too.

Bye Bye Rafferty Blockbusters
Man, GSN must really be listening to their fans. Starting today, Rafferty Blockbusters, which is a terrific show (in my opinion better than Cullen Blockbusters) is off and replaced with the Cullen version. It would be nice to get H2 somewhere, like in that slot.....

Could Wheel of Fortune Change More?
We hope you guys had a happy holidays. We are now back will updates on a (hopefully) daily basis. [Ed. Note: Speak for yourself, Alex. :-D] There is talk of the wheel becoming a video display and not cardboard. This would be to speed up the process of changing the wheel layout between rounds, because that whole 3 or 4 minutes really kills them. This would make spaces like Mystery Space easy to change back to whatever dollar value it is as well, as if it was hard in the first place. Apparently there are plans of having a video play as the wheel spins also. Will this come into fruitation? Who knows? [More Ed. Note: As stated in the comments, that is rather generous, Alex. It took 2 minutes TOPS to change all that stuff. Honestly, I think i

New York Defeats Philadelphia In Extreme Dodgeball Finals
The, in my opinion, best season of Extreme Dodgeball ended last night as the New York Bling defeated the Philadelphia Benjamins 57-37 to win the 3rd Extreme Dodgeball title. Celebrity captain of the New York Blink Mia St. John stated "I'm so excited. We knocked their asses out!" which is true if you saw the broadcast on Tuesday evening. Extreme Dodgeball commish Rip Torn presented the Bling with their trophy. The New York Bling collected over $50,000 throughout the season and are the first champions of the scoring/time system of Extreme Dodgeball. Their record was 8-2 in the regular season.

MAJOR GSN SCHEDULE CHANGE
As we reported, GSN is going back to game shows. They apparently weren't lying. GSN is doing what they need to to save their schedule. Monday's repeat of The Amazing Race is gone, finding a home on the schedule and cutting back on rerun abuse Wednesday through Sunday at 9PM ET. I think game show fans are going to orgasm over the next few things. Press Your Luck will replace The Newlywed Game at 12:30PM ET/PT on the Men of GSN lineup. Whammy will move back a half hour to 11:30AM ET/PT on weekends. This one excites me.... GSN picked up George Gray Weakest Link! No more Anne finally! The syndicated Weakest Link which will take at least a year to reach rerun abuse will air in a back to back block at 4-5PM ET/PT. Thanks to Steve Beverly of TVG

LINGO BACK FOR SERIES 5
I can't believe it. Lingo has ALREADY been renewed for a 5th series of episodes. The Chuck Woolery hosted game show has boosted ratings over 56% in the 7PM ET slot since the 4th series began. The article that we are getting info from also mentioned that GSN is looking at syndicators for some game shows possibly. Could we be seeing Lingo in syndication? And I'm still riding my high horse to bring back the 2nd highest rated game show in GSN's history: Russian Roulette. Come on, guys. The ratings were there and there have been lots of emails asking for it. Lingo series 5 will be sometime in 2006.
