Could you keep checking on the time and post it here when you find out? That'd be super.
Um. Sure...
Can't see it being 8pm (Eastern). Idol will be on then, which attracts 17-20+ million. 8pm would be a risk. 9p Eastern sounds good
(and yes, there's still a huge portion of population that doesn't watch Idol)

They\'re not related to season 2 of Bible Challenge, that\'s for sure.
I suspect that the ratings will still be pretty good for this--I\'m again hearing ads for this season on Air1, a Christian radio network that runs very few ads.
In regards to the second season, I saw a tweet @buzzerblog saying there was a rumor TABC will be adding stunts besides the normal questions.
Personally, I do not think that\'s a horrible idea. The Minute to Win It-like stunts will take away from the normal question/buzz-in/answer gameplay, and could attract more excitement to the show.
Stunts? Like what? \"Here are seven stone water jugs...first one to turn their contents into wine scores 200 points?\"
\"We\'re going to tie you to these pillars, and then start cutting off your hair an inch at a time. The faster you knock them down, the more you win (and the more of your hair you get to keep.\"
Physical puzzles I can see (a la Survivor, but without the mud) but challenges? Hm.
Sure, there are people who think \"What if this happened on Jeopardy?\", but I think this is something that will work for on GSN now.
There are? I asked 100 random people I saw on the street and at the mall and none of them mentioned Jeopardy.
Stunts? Like what?
A future episode has a game with five cups, each labeled with a biblical character. A clue is given and the contestant must pound on a fork to flip-launch a spoon into the cup (or it could be vice-versa) to select their choice. They have 60 seconds to get up to three correct.

It would be way funnier if they had to bounce a ping-pong ball in there. You\'d separate the saints from the sinners right quick.
Here\'s a first. During the 60-second round on the show that aired on April 18, one team got ZERO. So the other team team just needed to get one answer, which they easily did.
Pre-testing to avoid mis-matches will solve that problem.

The match-up is irrelevant, considering the speed round is not even played with the other team on the stage. I have to think there was enough screening to ensure the contesti knew something about the source material.
It\'s the fact that getting through casting is tough, and they have the 10-minute bible study before should help them get at least one.
Bright lights of television and nerves be damned of course.
(are you for real?)

He has a sorta point; these guys should be screened enough to be remotely capable in a round where they are given all of the information in advance, in a tournament where they are ALL supposed to be experts in the source material.
My point to Jimmy was merely that jiggering the matchups through testing does not affect the possibility of a goose-egg one way or the other.
I didn\'t think that this warranted a large post on its own, but I think it\'s worth posting here to further discredit this self-made expert. Recently, our intrepid blogger announced that he was adding a new blogger, Nicole Tillman, a previous game show contestant. This account made a couple of posts... but as you can tell, those come from a cache because the links no longer exist. I tweeted this person to see if she was actually associated with this site, since I couldn\'t imagine someone of merit would be and she said that she hasn\'t \"posted any blogs ever.\" By this time, all \"Nicole Tillman\" posts are down and the name no longer appears as a contributor.
tl;dr: Ol\' Scott made a fake account based on a real person to post news as if he had additional contributors.

He is, but after Chad Mosher\'s investigative report, Nicole Tillman ain\'t. Maybe she\'s nothing more than his blow-up doll..
Not sure of the legalities of it, but if I was Nicole Tillman I would be irate...
This whole thing reminds me of an SNL sketch from last year with Jamie Foxx.
I think that\'s illegal, isn\'t it?
Not sure, although I\'m curious as to whether she\'d have a case in terms of her name being used falsely. My legal side* wants to say she could.
At the very least, it\'s highly unethical, and would likely result in an immediate F in any class, or termination at a job. Fortunately for him, it\'s just a piddly little blog. Unfortunately for him, she could possibly take legal action.
*I watch Matlock from time to time. And no, I\'m not 75 years old.

I don\'t like the idea of \"as long as the defendant is a nothing-burger moron a-hole blogger you can\'t sue because there\'s no damages.\" You\'re certainly right that she probably hasn\'t been financially harmed but he\'s still done something wrong and shouldn\'t skate for it.
/sir, you are unfit to have Dick Clark as your avatar picture. John Davidson would be more fitting for someone of your caliber.
That\'s certainly fine by me ;).
What\'s off topic? This is something you started, we\'re keeping the focus on you...I mean, you\'ve been exposed as a fraud! Slink away!
Talk about going off topic...
Nice way to try to change the subject. Sorry, not going to happen. I hope you\'re not in school for some type of journalism, as you clearly don\'t. get. it.
Are you really this dense and stupid?
Not to mention he\'s violating ER 2 and ER 7, no?
This can\'t be allowed to continue.

I\'m with Mr. Lemon on this one...
I don\'t know what infuriates me more, the plaigarism or the fact that he won\'t own up to it and deletes comments on his blog where he\'s called out for it...But just the same, his blog acts have nothing to do with his eligibility here. I don\'t think he should post here anymore, personally, but him leaving is of his own volition.

That\'s like trying to get Gary Busey to not be crazy. I, myself, don\'t see it happening.
He\'s dug a whole the size of South Africa and he seems content on living in it and expanding.
Enjoy talking to that wall.
Talk about going off topic...
Sorry, chief. You don\'t get to complain just because the heat\'s on you. Own up and admit that what you did is wrong. Be mature for once in your life.
It\'s worth noting that someone was calling him out on his blog, and this was his reply:
I\'m sure if this real woman knew about this, she wouldn\'t have waited a week to respond on Twitter, Chad, and had tweet(s) between the 25th of April and 4/19.
Nice try. I see she has a life outside of Twitter.

I\'ve never known anyone that is honestly this dense!
Also, this twisted teen also apparently uses the name \"Allison Hillsip\" on Twitter via the handle @greatgameshows. (The most recent blog post notes that \"GSN and Sherri Shepherd have not responded to any of our tweets either sent during the week.\" A cursory Twitter search shows this being the only account to perform such actions.)
Heh. I wonder if he was trying to appropriate Alison Haislip\'s name and couldn\'t be bothered to make sure he actually had it right.

At this point, I wouldn\'t doubt it...
If I\'m understanding this correctly, LGY should be in jail for committing fraud.
I\'ve never known anyone that is honestly this dense!
There are many words for what he is doing, but I can assure you that \"dense\" isn\'t one of them. He is perfectly aware that he has been caught in a ridiculous sham, but I think he also knows that apologizing will accomplish nothing at this point either. He\'s way, WAY beyond the point where apologizing would help. So he\'s decided to go the defiant route.
I\'ve seen it before. Many, many years ago, in the early days of the Usenet groups, there was a guy (FAR smarter than LGY, by the way) who loved to beef up his arguments and just cause general mayhem by creating lots of different identities that would agree with him on line. (Interestingly, he just got back in touch with me after many years away, and sure enough he used a fake account to do it.) Even back then it was very easy to expose that sort of thing, but just like in this case, if you\'re brazen enough to do something that ridiculous. you\'re also brazen enough not to admit it even when exposed. So he\'d spout doubletalk and gobbledygook rather than admit the obvious truth. That\'s all that\'s happening here.
you aren\'t understanding this correctly.
If I\'m understanding this correctly, LGY should be in jail for committing fraud.

Be quiet. Adults are talking.
He has now turned himself into a massive joke, basically, only exacerbated by his lame attempt to deflect from it earlier in the thread. How long he chooses to stick around and be the butt of this joke is up to him, but make no mistake, he\'s the joke, and his credibility here is pretty much zero from here forward, if it ever was a positive number to begin with. Not the first person we\'ve had here in that state, won\'t be the last.And in a long and sundry line of numbskulls who have skulked back here, thinking we forgot them (but we didn\'t), he\'ll pick up and try to create a new brand for himself as if he wasn\'t previously a nothing-burger moron a-hole blogger who was caught being a complete dumbass.
Nice try. I see she has a life outside of Twitter.Interesting that he doesn\'t even bother to change up his language, he used that when Brandon Foster-Gray called him out for flooding our previously happy board with his wrong-headed logorrhea.

A \"response\" from Scott Nicole Allison that appeared in the comments section of Casey Abell\'s mini-blog:
It\'s messed up b.s. with Chad. He\'s a dependable, hard-working and great game show guy, but he came upon something on MY blog but it wasn\'t completely under MY control. I\'d rather not go into details. I would take \'full\' responsibility and say my blog was \'hacked\', but it\'s just a few things that slipped by me.
I contact Blogger and my blog was interfered with from a \"Scattered IP Address\". Guess they don\'t know where it came from.
To the woman \"Nicole\"-I\'m sorry. Don\'t know how this got past me.
There\'s my argument, forum board.
This saga just keeps getting better.
Casey Abell\'s involved now?
Blogs are funi.
Fun fact: googling \"Scattered IP address\" in quotes brings up 4 hits, one of which is the Game Show Follies website. That term really means nothing.
Casey Abell\'s involved now?
Blogs are funi.
Yep, and he\'s still calling this forum \"What\'s left of what used to be Matt Ottinger\'s board\"
It\'s a damn shame he isn\'t going to be old enough to enter the Iowa Caucus in 2016. He would kill there, especially with the runaround talk that essentially amounts to gibberish.

As the unofficial official ambassador of Iowa, Leggo Yank is not welcome here.

Survey says - DING! Made me LOL.
It will return in the next couple weeks.
Well, a man could dream. Whose identity are you gonna appropriate when it comes back this time?
Hi. GameShowNetworkNews has been pulled down for the moment, by me, and only me. It will return in the next couple weeks.
Somehow I\'m quite certain this isn\'t the whole story but hey, not my party.
Good God. Give it up.

Is that a threat or a promise?
Allison Hillsip? I hear she\'s dating Manti Te\'o. And that she\'s easier to make than a cheese sandwich.
Good God. Give it up.
Now, now - he gives you a shout out here!

I don\'t know what\'s juicier - the soap operas on TV or these game show blogs. Rahner had a comment on Casey\'s blog that was removed....Then we have good old Mario500 with his first name fetish....http://gameshowfollies.blogspot.com/2013/05/mike-richards-speaks.html#comment-form
Oh my God is that Mario dude a fruitcake.
Is \"HD\" our good buddy Harvey?
Yes he is....On the radio-info boards he posts there and is just as bad.......As for \"HD\", I\'m thinking he is, considering his blogger profile lists something to do with Dayton, OH...
Oh my God is that Mario dude a fruitcake.

God help me, I almost defended Casey. I\'m not a fan of his condescending writing style, but it\'s his blog, not the New York Times. I was kinda hoping Casey actually told him that if he didn\'t like it, he was free to write his own posts.

Oh they are, my friend..........in more ways than one.
So we had the Season 2 finale. I think it\'s a safe bet that there will be a Season 3.
