PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR 14 Summary Sign-Up" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-30-09 AT 09:02 AM (EST)Edited to bump the sign-up date out a few days. My weaselhood was insulted on another thread, and to redeem my honor, I am posting the TAR 14 Summary Sign-up Post. And now, some absolutely original writing, not taken from anyone anywhere. Really. I mean it. 1. We have sixteen contestants. This should mean that we're back to a standard thirteen episodes plus the Reunion, giving us fourteen total summary slots. (Whoever gets the finale takes the summary up until the announcement of the winner and first reaction shots: the Reunion transcriber takes over from there.) The mandatory Recrap episode is traditionally not summarized unless the moderators really need a punishment detail. Assuming a standard two-non-elims, we have 11 spots available. 2. In order to write a Survivor TAR summary, you must have completed a summary for any other show first. No total rookies, please: we need you to have taken a swing at someone and incurred at least one lawsuit. (The exception is the Recrap. If anyone for some deity-forsaken reason wants it, just say so. I'm sure your estate will understand. By the way, this has never happened of anyone's own free will.) 3. After the episode airs, the summarizer has to compile a version of the events filled with hate, disgust, complete contempt, and as much snark as they can personally stand, then let the public bask in their venom. (Again, looking at the current contestant group, this shouldn't be a problem.) Summaries are posted in the Bashers forum and must go up within 72 hours of the episode's airtime. Any resemblance between the summary and the actual show should be at least vaguely coincidental, for a really generous definition of 'vague'. As a general guideline, it helps if we can at least spot who was voted out. 4. Anyone interested in writing a summary must apply on this thread: just reply to the post. If you have any dates which you cannot work with, let everyone know in advance: we'll (the imperial 'we'll') try to accommodate people if we can. The season premieres on 2/12 02/15/09, so you must sign up by 11:59 p.m. EST on February 3rd wait – let’s stick with that 3rd 8th to be considered. 5. Should there be more writers than summary slots, one of the moderators will conduct a random draw to see who gets the episodes. Racers ready? Go! 
Yea, I couldn't think of what Phil says at the start. So sue me.

If I have any say at all in who gets to do this, you just got yourself a drunk, bikini-laden summary.

I'll take one if needed. Also signed up for Survivor, so I would prefer different weeks. Weeks of Feb. 22 and April 6 are good. The only bad week is week of March 2.

Okay, Dweeze, Slice, Bebo, Dajaki, Mohalic, Snidge, Boo, Nutz, Breezy, Frisky, and Seana, all of you step forward. Everyone else, step back. *dramatic pause* Front row, you’re through to the next round. Congratulations. I’ll get a draft schedule up by the end of the day tomorrow.

21. "Schedule" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-13-09 AT 05:30 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 02-11-09 AT 11:58 AM (EST) Here's a draft schedule. Let me know if this works, if not, I'll try to swap things around. I took the premiere because of the short notice, but will gladly swap it out if someone else wants it. The only night I'm concerned about is February 22 - I don't know if CBS will pre-empt because of the Oscar telecast on ABC. As a result, I went with both episodes and dates. If TAR is pre-empted on the 22nd, it will push everything else back. Let me know as well if that would create a problem. (Names in bold have agreed to the date.) #1 02/15/09 – Dweeze #2 02/22/09 – samboohoo #3 03/01/09 – Breezy #4 03/08/09 – Frisky #5 03/15/09 – ARnutz #6 03/22/09 - Seana #7 03/29/09 - dajaki 04/05/09 - NO TAR (per Snidge) #8 04/12/09 - Slice #9 04/19/09 - Snidget #10 04/26/09 - Bebo #11 05/03/09 - Molaholic

TV Guide shows a new TAR, but a repeat Cold Case, so I think we're good. Thanks.This now answers my question on whether to take a vacation that week.  Oscars? Who watches the darn Oscars anyway?

Good to know, although now I'm curious. They wouldn't actually end TAR before Sweeps, would they?

*squints eyes*So this is where you are going to tell me to cowduck up, huh? I've got the TAR summary right off of doing the Survivor summary? Egads, do you know what that much DAW exposure in one week will do. *whimpers*

I didn't look at that schedule. If you want to swap this week for that week, I'm game.

If Frisky is up for the swap that should work for me.

so giving the evil glare garners one the Finale -- thanks. Should be easy-peasy (and who knows, maybe it'll be full of inept taxi drivers and devious weasel-type interferance from helpful natives!)

Dweeze, are you sure there's only 11 episodes? Because I looked at CBS.com's TAR page, and they have the route mapped out, and it looks like there are 12 legs.........

Futon Critic shows 11 eps, but that map on CBS does look like 12 pitstops. If it's twelve, we must have a third non-elim in there someplace (or a return of the extra-long leg - nope, couldn't be that because if it's an extra-long leg, there's no pitstop). We'll see how it goes - MattBen had said he would do a TAR, so if there are 12 I'll ask him.
