Simon was asked to be on the gameshow "Help the Healer!" The premise was fairly simple. The curtain would open on an EMT with an "injured" individual. The announcer would describe the event that led to the injury, and what the EMT had found on the initial check. The contestants were then supposed to help the EMT perform first aid as appropriate. Scoring was based on the contestants ability to effectively and correctly render first aid. Simon, who grew up as a BoyScout, is fairly knowledgable about appropriate first aid techniques. He was able to finish second on the show behind a medical resident student. His knowledge of proper tourniquet use was his downfall, as he didn't properly tighten or secure it. He was quoted afterwards saying "Hopefully I never need to use one, I hate blood." His second place finish won him a $50 Giftcard to Applebees. He said he planned to take his mother there for Margaritas.

Doctor Who was recently on an episode of Jeopardy with fellow contestants, Dalek and Doctor Donna. A few of the featured categories included, “Two-hearted Creatures”, “Shadow Proclamations”, “UNIT or unit”, “Shortest and Longest Wars”, “Geronimo, Allonz-y, Let’s go go go”, and “Bowties and other Fashions”. Despite some initial confusion on the proper Jeopardy usage of “WHO is…” the game was off to a heated start between The Doctor and Donna. Unfortunately the Dalek quickly dropped off in points due to mostly only being able to utter “exterminate” or “explain”. The Final Jeopardy prompt was “This plant is home to a vinegar sea, an ice floe, chalky hills and a tall tree forest, and twin to the plant Clom.” Raxacoricofallapatorius was of course the correct answer, provided by both the Doctor and Donna. In the end though, The Doctor’s 1000+ extra years of experience over Donna’s would see them crowned the winner of that night’s show.

Passarelli was asked to appear on the Amazing Race with Triceracop! The duo had an easy go of the first few legs of the race, outpacing many of the teams they were competing against simply because one of them is an athlete about to reach their prime and the other is a literal dinosaur. However, as the race continued on, the duo begin to show signs of cracking, specifically on a task in Italy where Passarelli needed to eat 5 bowls of spaghetti while Triceracop needed to row a boat down a canal (their head caused several sizing issues trying to fit under those bridges). Both Passarelli and Triceracop are still under NDA though and can't discuss if they won or not yet. However, if they did, I'm sure there would be signs everywhere and we would be able to pickup on it fairly easily. All in all, I think the duo represented the ISFL well and made this season of Amazing Race an unforgettable one for the fans.

So yeah what an off season it was for Fortified Fridge. After missing out on the playoffs for the first time in his career, he had to do something to get over it and what better way to do it than to do go on a game show. You might be wondering what game show would he go on and the obvious answer is The Biggest Loser. With his huge starting frame he had some chance to cause an upset on the show. So how did it go?

Well Fridge definitely has a blast on the show, and met some great people that he will invite over for Thanksgiving or other holidays in the future. He is happy that he got that because actual success on the show was not to be found. Fridge really tried his best but even though he worked his butt off just like the other contestants, it seemed that being a Refrigerator just meant that there was a certain mass and weight he could not shake

Bread Bowl hates publicity, so when he was invited onto the annual "Bowl 4 the Bowl" game show, he wanted to turn it down as soon as it was proposed. However, his newly signed publicist (forcibly given to him by the Orange County Otters) practically begged him to do the show. He eventually caved and appeared in the event. "Bowl 4 the Bowl" is a 6 hour live-streaming event that is hosted by former ISFL legend Franklin Armstrong, in which many different celebrities bowl over the course of six hours with a professional teammate for charity. The first four hours are round robin match ups, and the last two consist of knockout rounds that eventually land on a winner. Each team has a charity they're playing for, and they get rewards based on how they do in the tournament. Bread Bowl and his teammate Tommy Jones won nearly 560k for their charity before bowing out of the tournament in the quarterfinals. Bread Bowl, while acknowledging he didn't want to do the tournament at first, said he was glad he decided to do it in the end.

Ahead of his debut in Berlin, Gaius Gleel was invited to the famous U.K. gameshow TASKMASTER. A zany game whereby British actors and comedians set out to perform various silly tasks on the fly and compete against one another for usually nominal prizes. Being that Gaius is a professional athlete, there were times where he was accused of taking the game too seriously. When co-host "little" Alex Horne gave him the task to carry an egg on a spoon whilst grocery shopping for a sunday roast, Gleel accidentally was bumped by another shopper, knocking his egg off the spoon and onto the ground where it cracked open. Gleel sneakily tried to put on a new egg, but was caught by Alex in the act. In response, Gleel went throughout the store, finding the other contestants--Bob Mortimer and James Acaster--whereby then he fully hit-stick'd them and broke their eggs. Needless to say he wont be invited back.

Big McLarge Huge was no stranger to the spotlight, he has starred in blockbuster movies, dominated on the football field and now decided to challenge one more thing, a game show. When the producers of Press Your Luck called, Huge was intrigued, he'd always been a fan of the show and he was confident that his quick reflexes would give him an edge. Huge would establish himself as a worthy opponent, navigating the board with ease and soaking up the roar of the audience. With each spin the pressure mounted but he was used to this, pressure is what he thrived in. Sadly, his mental acumen failed to get him over the goal line and he ended up in last place. The whammies got him and there was nothing he could do about it. Perhaps, Huge mused to himself, it would be best to stick to football and leave the gameshows to the others.

Emerson Bigguns was on vacation in Seoul, South Korea waiting for the subway train when a man approached him to play a game called “ddakji” to win some fast cash. Always up for a challenge, especially when money is involved, Emerson quickly found himself throwing a paper card trying to flip another paper card over. It was not as easy as it seemed and every time he lost the stranger would slap Emerson in the face. After three failed tries, Emerson finally won but he did not want the money… he wanted to slap the stranger in the face. The stranger begged not to be slapped by this 6’4”, 330lbs behemoth instead giving the entire briefcase of money to Emerson with an invitation to a contestant on “Squid Game: The Challenge”. Having never heard of it, he politely declined the offer. That was until the stranger told him that the prize would be $4.56 million in cash. Needless to say, the complete blend of intelligence, strength, agility, charisma, and cunning, Emerson blitzed his way through the physical events while making sure to keep strategic alliances until it no longer served him. Losing was never an option as he was the last one standing returning home from a very profitable offseason.

Da Chop went on Deal or No Deal. With the great One Piece being the grand prize, it was no surprise that he chose to participate in this event. Howie Mandell and his bald head glistened as the young Chop made his appearance. Chopper selected case 6 and proceeded to whittle away at poor case offerings before him. After proceeding through later rounds the game Chop was presented with a heavy dilemma. Half of his ancestry is known for their cotton candy addiction which has afflicted their bloodline. The banker knowing this offered him 5 tons of cotton candy in order to give up his case which held the secrets of the celestial dragons. Unfortunately Chop caved and chose the candy over the wealth and secrets. A variety of nutritionists from the London Royals are observing his condition as he consumed the entirety of the prize in one sitting. More updates to come on his condition.
