I'm actually ok with the end of Supernatural, I have been ok with it for 10 years now! But I appreciate the concern. I absolutely agree with Sarah about Jared's hair, just know that the current hairst

Guys, it occurs to me that Game Time is now the world's foremost currently running sporting competition. Either that or the guy on YouTube who films marble races. Thank you for shouldering this a

Well I've never seen TAR, but I gather it's some sort of treasure hunt -  so the best team would have to be "Team CTU" (Jack Bauer & Chloe O'Brien): she'd hack the organisers computers to work out what they needed to do (and if necessary, put an APB out on her opponents to slow them down) and he'd shoot ad/or torture anyone who dared get ahead of him (might be a rather darker series though).

John Potts, the premise is 2-person teams racing around the world, performing tasks that are typical or specific of the country/city the Racers are in. The pay-off is a million dollars.  The Racers aren't even allowed their own phones. Not that Jack and Chloe couldn't do fine with involuntary help. 

 

Still, seeing Keifer and MaryLyn as themselves doing the Race would be fun.

Just going to throw this out there for lack of a better place to do so: I recently realized that "Project Runway" has never been considered for the Canon. I don't think I'm going to be the person to tackle this, but that feels overdue. I'm not sure what would be the stand-out choice, though: Gretchen's infamous meltdown? The season one finale, with all the Wendy Pepper drama plus the rule-bending shoes?

Here's the UK Eurovision winner that contains the line "don't let your indecision take you from behind." It's super catchy:

That Eurovision round has gotten both "Making My Mind Up" and "All Rise" stuck in my head. I'm guessing "All Rise" was in there as a decoy because Blue did have a Eurovision song, but it wasn't that one?

I would go with Season 1 Postal Challenge.  Wendy Pepper drama, "Don't defend the shoe!", Austin modeling, interesting challenge.

What if the Murphy Reset half through ACS is that they get to the end of the trial, and then time jump to when OJ gets arrested, ends up in jail, writes his book, etc. (All this set against the dramatic backdrop of Kim Kardashian managing her new fame in light of her recent film debut.)

 

Don't you go feeling safe Dave. It could totally happen.

Also if the next American CRIME Story can be about Hurricane Katrina this season could 100% still end up being about aliens.

I thought Game Time was ridiculously fun!

 

ALL the Eurovision entries could have been true - you've got about 20 songs per year and 50 years of songs so just about any lyric could have come up. I actually recognised "Making your mind up" (even had the 7 inch disc of it!) and it didn't strike me as dirty - then again, I was 7 at the time, and looking back on a lot of the songs I heard then make me go "Wow, so THAT's what that was about" now. Though it's mainly famous for the skirt removal (at about 1:30) which was a hit on the night.

 

Don't see why cod sperm would be particularly disgusting - it's pretty much just caviar. And not only does Decimate exist (or at least, it did) [nerd] it actually used the word correctly[/nerd] - for each question you got wrong, you lost 10% of the prize pot.

 

TeeVee329 What about the "It's a motherf-ing walkoff" episode of PR?

 

 

You mean that was a real thing - Zoolander (with David Bowie, RIP) didn't just make that up?

Embarrassed to admit how quickly I recognized the lyrics to the Pokemon theme, though I did briefly consider that it COULD have been a Eurovision entry. Weirder things have surely happened.

(David Tennant technically hosted an episode of Nevermind The Buzzcocks, but he wasn't THE HOST of a show per se *takes of technicality police hat*)

Though it's mainly famous for the skirt removal (at about 1:30) which was a hit on the night.

A literal reading definitely changes a lot of Eurovision songs. One of the most successful entries ever (both in terms of result on the night and in actual sales) literally involves 1970s British entertainers singing about kissing children. (Last time and this time, I mostly stuck to English-language songs for Dave's sake. Which is a shame, because my God I don't know what they were on in Yugoslavia but I want it all.) (I did consider giving Dave an audio clip for that French one after what happened with Volare last time, but I figured most of the fun in that lyric would be making Dave say it.)

That Eurovision round has gotten both "Making My Mind Up" and "All Rise" stuck in my head. I'm guessing "All Rise" was in there as a decoy because Blue did have a Eurovision song, but it wasn't that one?

Not exactly. I knew I wanted (1) the first pass to have four lyrics vaguely related to truth and lies and (2) to include a false lyric from one of those many, many interchangeable terrible late-90s British/Irish pop groups at some point in the round. But trying to find the right balance between mainstream and obscure pretty much left me with only a couple of alleged bands, and then it was a matter of trawling lyrics sites.

 

Sad face. The rest was so fun, I guess I was hoping for more. :-D

Here are the questions for both that round (PR unconventional materials; it did check out fine when I researched but I'm guessing the issue was, like, something I counted as wrong turning up in a generic "things you buy at a supermarket" challenge or whatever):

SARAH: Carpet

JOE: Post-It Notes

VALUED GUEST: Parachutes

TARA: Duct Tape

SARAH: Computer Parts

JOE: Sporting Goods

VALUED GUEST: Stationery

TARA: Camping Gear

And another round that got cut in the shuffle (it was originally Round 4 but got replaced by the Eurovision round, which was last), games from Dave's pet Korean reality show The Genius:

SARAH: Laser Chess

JOE: Tactical Parcheesi

VALUED GUEST: Double-Sided Poker

TARA: Betting Rock Paper Scissors

SARAH: Zombie Game

JOE: Seven Commandments

VALUED GUEST: Conveyor Belt

TARA: Constellation Game

 

The host round: Whoopi Goldberg was the centre square on Hollywood Squares but I couldn't find anything she actually hosted. Penn Jillette hosted Identity. Greg Kinnear hosted College Mad House. Shatner hosted Deal or No Deal knockoff Show Me the Money. Richard O'Brien (Riff-Raff in The Rocky Horror Picture Show) hosted the gloriously camp The Crystal Maze. Jaclyn Smith did host Shear Genius. (Edit: I did have links for all of these but they're not showing up. Try Youtube.)

 

In conclusion: Sorry, Joe. I tried to handicap Tara and Sarah a little bit based on last time (and in general), and made sure that, like, Sarah got both "Space" (which was almost true!) and "Belgium", but once I did that and sorted the questions into groups (like the TAR Pit Stop round had "places starting with M", "cities Dave won't be able to say", and "countries"), I did randomise what was left. Fucking PICCI3.

My OJ Simpson fun fact. The not guilty verdict came in on my birthday. October 3rd 1995.

I was in the 8th grade. Our principal actual read the verdict out loud over the PA system. Amazing!

Also my whole class cheered. I'm a hundred percent sure it was just because he was black and not that he wasn't guilty. I am black and I saw a lot of that at the time. But, needless to say, ive never forgotten that particular birthday.

SnideAsides I figured most of the fun in that lyric would be making Dave say it.

 

 

You mean you deliberately chose things Dave might have trouble saying - I'd never do that! (Clearly any posts purportedly by me saying I did exactly that were faked). Though for the "Random syllables that were actually song titles", you could have had:

 

"Boom Bang a Bang" (True - 1969 UK (by Lulu))

"Waka Waka" (False - it was the 2010 World Cup Song (Shakira))

"Bana Bana" (True - 1989 Turkey)

"Boom Boom Boom Boom" (False - Real song but never a Eurovision entry (Vengaboys))

Star Trek: Black.

In an alternate timeline in which the Eugenics War never happened, the genetically-enhanced crew of the starship Orphan stumble upon a vast conspiracy within the federation itself. In order to unravel the conspiracy, the brash and motivated (though with a nasty habit of acting without thinking) captain (played by Tatiana Maslaney) must rely on her wits, her determination, and her ragtag crew, including her hypercompetent (though extremely high-strung) first officer (also played by Tatiana Maslaney), her bohemian science officer (Tatiana Maslaney), her psychotic security officer (Tatiana Maslaney) (who goes everywhere with her pet talking scorpion, voiced by Tatiana Maslaney)), her uptight and reserved cybernetically enhanced chief engineer (who is not-so-secretly part of the conspiracy) (Tatiana Maslaney), and her badass mentor known only as Mrs. S.

My only question for Dave is will your Timothy Olyphant character be wearing pants?

Olyphant losing his pants is the new "Kirk's shirt gets ripped" or, if you will, "Kenny dying".

 

It's not a question of 'if' but a question of 'how'.

I just wanted to say that this episode was one of the most ridiculously fun episodes of EHG. I quite literally LOL'd several times, and I just love Linda Holmes to no end. This was an absolute delight of an episode!

 

Same! Luckily I was walking down a dark street by the time I got to Sarah's "either yes....or no" bit, because I just gave up and laughed out loud.

Obviously, I think there needs to be a show based on the Biblical Jael, but I might be biased.

 

(She killed a guy with a tent peg to the head while he was sleeping. But he was a bad guy! So then the good guys came and sang a song about how great she was! Ryan Murphy would love it.)

Weird, two days after a Game Time question on whether any of the Friends have hosted a reality show, Matt LeBlanc signs up to co-host the new Top Gear: http://deadline.com/2016/02/matt-leblanc-top-gear-host-bbc-1201696329/

The same thing happened with the last Is This Anything? quiz too - one of the questions was about if Tila Tequila had ever done Celebrity Big Brother (she hadn't), and then a few days later she did enter the house.

 

In short, I guess the next one should have some sort of "Is this TV star still alive?" question about Tara's sworn enemy Betty White.

Wow. I thought my Bible knowledge was pretty solid from my years of competitive Bible quizzing as a teenager (Yes, that's a thing. Yes, I'm super embarrassed. Also an atheist now.), but I've never heard of Jael. Sounds pretty bad ass though.
