"TAR 9 summary sign-up list"
Posted by AyaK on 02-12-06 at 05:24 PM
Please post your name below if you want to be considered for an official summary of TAR 9, which will begin after February sweeps end.

Prerequisite: you MUST have written a prior "official" summary of some reality show for Reality TV World before you may be considered to summarize an episode of TAR (or Survivor).

The sign-up list will remain open until at least February 18.

Me! Me! Pick me!

*gathers dignity*

I respectfully submit my name for consideration as a summarizer for an episode of the 9th season of The Amazing Race. Thank-you.

Previous experience includes two summaries for the most recent season of Average Joe. Yes, I know.

*squeal*

"Episode 2?"

Anyone who did Average Joe deserves sympathy! This episode would air March 7.

Yay! March 7 it is. I'll go set up the VCR right now.

I could have sworn this was the eighth Race, but -- weird numbering inside, I'll cross my fingers on the draw.
"Episode 4?"

March 21?

Yay! First non-elimination leg!
"Nope"
Posted by AyaK on 03-15-06 at 02:11 PM
That honor went to Episode 3.

Just goes to show you, no good deed goes unpunished!

I bet Cygnus had an inside tip and that's why he wanted someone to swap episodes! Lucky me!

dajaki imitates Horseshack, but is much better looking.

I'd love to do one... Can't wait to get back to the old 2-person teams and see what kind of bashing goes on!

I'll throw my hat in the ring. Prior experience limited to "Bachelor" season premiere ("Meet The Cinderellas") and upcoming "Bachelor: The Women Talk Back". I am willing to take a back seat to more seasoned TAR summary writers.

"Episode 8?"

Since I have a lot of free time on my hands, I'll sign up.

I have writen summaries before when I was ssshaw if that counts.


"Episode 9?"
Posted by AyaK on 02-24-06 at 11:52 AM
April 25? Last episode before sweeps, so it may be a double, if there are going to be any doubles this time.

Posted by Scuba Steve on 02-24-06 at 12:40 PM
Episode 9 sounds great, Ayak.


I'm a Polish hillbilly and damn proud of it.

As long as the Big Bother summary I did when I pinch-hit when a recording device died last summer counts I'll put my name in the draw.

"I need a swap"
Posted by Cygnus X1 on 03-02-06 at 08:29 AM
My work schedule is filling up right around the time of my episode (Week 3), so any summary I do would likely not be out before the weekend. Anyone want to swap weeks?
"RE: I need a swap"
Posted by ARnutz on 03-02-06 at 09:46 AM
I have episode 5 on March 28th if that would work better for you.

Episode 3 on March 14th would work fine for me.

Deal! Thanks, hon! *smooch*

ETA: That means I have to follow Estee. Talk about a tough act!

"Proposed Schedule"
Posted by ARnutz on 03-03-06 at 05:31 PM
I had a few minutes, so I figured I'd keep us all organized in this one post here. I added the swap between Cygnus & I.


Ep. 01: 2/27 ~ dajaki (done! and what a fine job it was!)
Ep. 02: 3/07 ~ Seana
Ep. 03: 3/14 ~ ARnutz (That's me!!! swapped with Cygnus)
Ep. 04: 3/21 ~ Estee! (well, at least she has to follow me this time.)
Ep. 05: 3/28 ~ CygnusX1 (swapped with Nutz)
Ep. 06: 4/04 ~ Breezy
Ep. 07: 4/11 ~ Pepe
Ep. 08: 4/18 ~ kathliam
Ep. 09: 4/25 ~ Scuba Steve
Ep. 10: 5/02 ~ Snidget
Ep. 11: 5/09 ~ strid333
Ep. 12: 5/16 ~ Jims02 (this could be the finale, is that the speculated date? it is May sweeps.)


If there are any changes necessary because of more episodes, a week off for any special network broadcasts or a double episode. I'll make the changes.

Looks like we have a great bunch of snark coming our way this season!

"Sweeps"
Posted by AyaK on 03-15-06 at 02:10 PM
May sweeps begin April 27 and end May 24, so it's possible that the finale would air on May 23, in which case we might need one more writer. Cyndimaus and Silvergirl1 are our two alternates, in case we need to add one more writer or if someone needs to cancel.

And thanks to ARnutz for posting the summary schedule in one post.
