"Summary writer sign-up thread for NBC's For Love Or Money 3"

Posted by SurvivorBlows on 06-02-04 at 11:00 PM
This thread is the episode summary writer sign-up thread for NBC's For Love Or Money 3, which premieres Monday, June 7 at 9PM ET/PT and will be consist of twelve one-hour episodes.

Based on our initial summary writer interest thread, the following folks have already expressed interest in writing for this series:

- ballerina_of_doom
- Mon Cherie
- tig_ger
- cqvenus
- Tiger Lily

...if your name is listed above, please reply below reconfirming your interest in this show, as well as noting if you are interested in summarizing more than just one episode. If your name is not on the above list and you are still interested in summarizing this show, please also feel free to reply below indicating your interest.

Given the fact that this show premieres in five days, also please note if you are available for Monday's premiere episode

Please note however, that we are also running open sign-up threads for NBC's Next Action Star, FOX's The Simple Life 2, Spike TV's Joe Schmo 2, FOX's The Casino, and ABC's The Two Timer, so if you are planning to reply to more than one of the above mentioned open sign-up threads, it would be helpful if you could note the other shows in your reply, so that we can try and ensure any proposed schedule doesn't schedule you for back-to-back summaries, commit you to more summaries than you were expecting, etc. Additionally, also keep in mind that we will (shortly) be starting The Amazing Race 5 and Big Brother 5 sign-up threads (both shows will premiere July 6.)

As a reminder, while all our summary writing is on a volunteer basis, etc. reliablity, timeliness (or at least status communication) is important, and that while we can't offer anyone any $$$, we do occasionally partner with companies to promote stuff and, if we can, I do try and pass some of the goodies along to the show's corresponding episode writers -- as I've recently announced we've been able to do with all of the writers of ABC's two "Celebrity Mole" editions -- all of which will be receiving free "Celebrity Mole Hawaii" DVD collections courtesy of Eagle Rock Entertainment (and before any asks, yes, I've been individually packing a couple of dozen DVD's this week, and I'm planning to ship them out soon )

Any questions, please let me know... hope this doesn't sound too convoluted to anyone

Thanks,
SB

I'd be more than happy to do more than one show--I guess up to three max for this show. I *can* do the premiere also, if necessary.

The only thing I request is to have my assigned summary episodes early. I would prefer to have my episodes in the first ten episodes. I will be out of town in mid-August, so if I was assigned the last two episodes, they might not be summarized in a timely fashion. Sorry to be difficult--hopefully that isn't a problem.

Throwing my interest in here. I'll apply for a few since I have a pretty open summer timewise and being fairly new, I know I won't get much if anything to cover.

Other interested shows:
The Casino
Joe Schmo 2
Big Brother 5
The Two Timer

Specific note: I think there will be a lot of interest for this, and if so, be inclined to pick anyone decent over me for this show (obviously your choice either way, but the point is still there). I can do the premiere as long as I didn't get any of the other ones, but as usual, I'd prefer later.

I'm still interested in this one, if I'm needed. I'd prefer just one episode, unless absolutely necessary. Also ,any epispode works for me, even the premeire, if needed.

Others: Joe Schmo

"Proposed FLOM3 Episodes 1-3 schedule"
Posted by SurvivorBlows on 06-04-04 at 01:50 PM
Hi folks, given that this show premieres in less than 72 hours, and I just want to try and setup the first three weeks of episodes setup ASAP.

Yes, I understand there are other folks who already expressed interest who aren't listed below and no slight is intended, it's just that with so many other reality shows also having joined the active broadcast schedule by late June, all the various show summary schedules are going to have to be analyzed for cross-show conflicts, etc. and frankly I just don't have that time this afternoon -- but don't worry, there's twelve episodes, I'm sure there will be plenty to go around!

tig_ger, cqvenus, and Tiger, please reply below confirming the below work or don't work for you.

Monday, June 07, Episode 1: tig_ger (note: this is two-hours)
Monday, June 14, Episode 2: cqvenus
Monday, June 21, Episode 3: Tiger Lily

Thanks,
SB

"Proposed Episodes #4-8 schedule"
Posted by SurvivorBlows on 06-18-04 at 04:46 PM
LAST EDITED ON 06-18-04 AT 06:47 PM (EST)

NOTE: SINCE FISHER IS NOT LONG INTERESTED IN DOING A SUMMARY I'VE EDITED THE SUMMARY TO REFLECT EP's 1-7 AND MOVED BALLERINA FROM EP 4 TO EP 5 and MOVED VOLSFAN TO EP 4 FROM EP 8

Hi folks, below is the new updated proposed summary schedule for Episodes #4-8. Please reply below confirming the assigned episode works for you.

I've recently learned that FLOM3's twelve episode serioes will actually be two six-episode series (one with the current cast of women and Preston, another with a set of male suitors and what I presume to be one of the women from this cast as the bachelorette) so basically Episode 6 is likely to be a two-hour finale while I suspect Episode 7 will be another two-hour premiere.

It's worth noting that everyone scheduled in Episodes 4-8 is already scheduled for another summer this summer (although both ballerina and tig_ger have already written theirs) so Fish, Mon, or Vol, if the below dates are too close to your other scheduled summaries, please let me know.)

Thanks,
SB

Monday, June 07, Episode 1: tig_ger (note: this is two-hours)

If you could, then please remove me from doing a summary FLoM. I thought at the time that Casino was a Tuesday show. I'm sorry. I still have the Casino covered just fine.

Hi tig_ger, just an update that it looks like NBC technically considered the two-hour premiere to be episodes 1 AND 2, so next week's fifth broadcast is actually the finale for the first series, meaning that your second summary on July 12 will apparently actually be the premiere of the new edition.

Thanks,
SB


"RE: Confirmed"
Posted by tig_ger on 06-29-04 at 01:21 PM
I saw that too. Doing the next premiere is fine with me too.

Have pen, will summarize whatever they put on right after Ballerina of Doom's excellent summary.

Just bumped this because I still need to schedule the last three episodes (beginning with the July 26 episode) of this series.

If you're interested in writing a summary, please respond below.

Thanks,
SB


"RE: Bump"

Webby, I can do another ep. Preferably not the July 26 ep, but if noone else volunteers I will fill in where needed.

Or, if you want, we could break the finale into two parts to lighten the load a bit? Let me know what you think.
