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."

"Shakes, I have a concern...." |
Shakes, you and I rarely if ever converse, but I find you to be an intelligent poster. So I hope you don't mind me sharing some concerns I have with your Survivor show based on the posters here.It is an excellent idea, don't get me wrong, and a creative way to keep people coming back here during the summer. (I'm sure Webby will appreciate that) However, I am afraid that it will turn into a popularity contest, and people's feelings will get hurt. Yes, when people filled out the apps, including myself, they opened themselves up to this critiquing. But it could turn ugly. Say for instance it came down to me and Vampkira (I'm just using you for arguments sake, Kira, hope you don't mind)
If everyone on this board was rooting for VK over me, that would make me feel pretty shitty. It doesn't matter that it's just a game, it could turn very personal and I would hate to lose good posters and opinions over something as small as this. Some people aren't going to want to participate in this, and if you write them in without their consent, they may get angry. I know I am making a ton of assumptions here, I'm just asking that you be very careful how you proceed with this. Then there are the people who really want to be part of this, and get left out. How are they going to feel? I know I am being super-sensitive, I just don't want to see people's feelings get hurt. And of course, what if the way you percieve someone in your writing is so completely different from who they are? They may laugh, cry, call you a bastard, who knows? Again I am making assumptions, I'm just asking that you take these concerns and write very, very carefully. So please, take my name out of the running (If I ever was in it)
Let someone else who really wants to be apart of this be. I just giggled answering those questions, that was fun for me. I'm not the attention whore that I once was. Thanks for listening Shakes, and good luck with the summaries The Irish Lass Colby Rules!

I think it's a fun idea, but not for me though =) I am the conjugal visit for Kokoro and Idiotcowboy, so that's enough for me. BluSavana
God bless the Army!

LAST EDITED ON 05-14-01 AT 01:50 AM (EST)Ben, my feelings won't get hurt, do your worst, bud! Honestly, if you want to keep the creative juices flowing, that's great, and I hope you can come up with some interesting innovative stuff. So, where's the contest going to be held: downtown Detroit, Barsoom, Tahiti, the seven levels of Hell? I want some advance info where to expect to be! Still, I do have one big conern: the chat idea!
I mean, yeah, it sounds great, but
A) some of us don't have audio/yakyak capabilty, and
B) even if you do a real-time type-chat room somehow, how can you work it out so that you and the nine necessary folk can be online there simultaneously? I'm willing to play along, though, but I may have to give you my proxy on the chat thing, that's just a logistical nightmare begging to get bogged down.

>If nothing else, it has been hysterical to read the various applications. I know I cracked myself up while writing my own (i.e., 82 yrs old w/12 kids). Hehehehehe! *** Exactly! First of all, I did the same thing - just submitted a total joke application, and had a blast writing it! I've really had fun reading everyone else's applications, funny or straightforward. And I dunno, IE - one thing is, I don't think Shakes would put someone in who didn't submit an application, joking or serious. I also just think that anyone who's gonna get upset over something like this (something we're clearly having fun with while we wait for S3 to gear up), is probably the kind of person who's gonna get upset over every little thing on the boards, ya know? Don't worry, hon, I think it'll be fun! If ya don't feel like submitting an application, you're gonna have a great time reading all this stuff!  **************************************
