"Bill is the Mole"
Posted by Femme on 03-09-03 at 05:45 PM
The only people who didn't believe Bill was the mole were the people who didn't think Stone Stanley was stoopid enough to make the clues so friggen obvious. And, there were a lot of 'em too.

Yeah, Sook Jai was stupid, but four disqualifications? Don't tell me the challenge had nothing to do with it.

"Under One Roof - UPN"

What not to do with your reality show:

1.) Show the first 2 episodes.

2.) Cancel for the rest of the season.

3.) Show the first 2 episodes ~again~ and add a new one the following summer.

4.) Cancel the series.

5.) Leave your viewing audience still wondering what happened until this day. That's right, don't even bother to tell us who won.

"No Boundaries - WB"
Posted by Kokoro on 03-10-03 at 01:13 PM
Did this thing even have a timeslot or did they just bounce it around until it fit somewhere? Was it ~ever~ advertised? The cancellation of it somewhere around the halfway point didn't really help this series much, either.

"Voluntary Swap - Thailand"
Posted by Jims02 on 03-10-03 at 04:27 PM
Give me a break. It was such a waste of time.

Ooooooohhhhh... Someone might VOLUNTARILY decide what they want to do... That's not fun! We would rather watch someone be screwed by an incredible twist.

"putting SWAT members in Combat Missions"
Posted by survivorscott on 03-10-03 at 05:24 PM
With a name like Combat Missions, having a SWAT team member win probably was not their ideal ending

"TAR3 Airpliane Spoilers True"
Posted by trigirl on 03-11-03 at 09:28 AM
The TAR3 Spoilers about Teri and Ian, Flo and Zack proved to be true. Somehow they have to sequester the final teams better than that...or else make sure they don't talk to other passengers.

She may have been a fan, but she did an awful job in the finale. Perhaps her brain was numbed by the cold in Central Park.
"Shadow Squad -- Combat Missions"
Posted by AyaK on 03-11-03 at 06:24 PM
As we saw in the "Urban Combat" finale, this game could be fun when the squads went head-to-head. Unfortunately, it could be deadly dull when you fought the stuntmen of Shadow Squad.

There needs to be a better way of doing this. I'm glad Lisa won, but lets face it, Danielle was robbed.

"The last five minutesof TAR 2"
Posted by mikey on 03-12-03 at 09:20 AM
An overall compelliing series appearing to be heading for a final showdown between a strong but villanous Tara/Will team against a steadily improving Blake/Paige team, when the producers turn the thing into a lengthy footrace across San Francisco, giving the undeserving two young white guys a huge advantage over the two co-ed teams and the ultimate victory, and the series a sense of deja vu.

They didn't even bother trickedy editing, instead they tell you exactly what's going to happen. People that analyzed the vidcaps were able to give exact boot lists with the show not even 1/3 over.
