"Beg, Borrow & Deal Summary Writers?"

Posted by SherpaDave on 09-24-02 at 02:12 AM
Survivorscott already summarized the first episode of this show here and ElCinOhio is going to be summarizing this week's show. Is anyone else interested in summarizing other episodes of this show? To keep the ball rolling, I'll go ahead and jump in for next week's show. That'll leave us with five more episodes to summarize. If either survivorscott or ElCinOhio want to summarize more than one episode, I'm very open to that, as long as it doesn't leave anyone else who wants to summarize the show out of the loop.

For those who haven't written summaries before, this is a good way to get one under your belt. Having written at least one summary is a pre-requisite for writing official summaries for the more popular shows on the site (i.e., Survivor and The Amazing Race), so if you'd like to eventually do one of those, now's a good time to get the pre-requisite out of the way.

Anyway, here's the schedule thus far. Post to this thread if you'd like to summarize a show and episode preferred (if any).

Episode #1 - Tuesday, September 17 - survivorscott (complete)
Episode #2 - Tuesday, September 24 - ElCinOhio
Episode #3 - Tuesday, October 1 - SherpaDave
Episode #4 - Tuesday, October 8 - TBA
Episode #5 - Tuesday, October 15 - TBA
Episode #6 - Tuesday, October 22 - TBA
Episode #7 - Tuesday, October 29 - TBA
Episode #8 - Tuesday, November 5 - TBA

A side note: this show is also easier to summarize than some because ESPN re-airs each episode several times. Click here for complete schedule of all air times.

Sherpa,

I'll gladly do another one... but first I'll wait and see if others want to take a crack

I am with ElCinOhio, If no one else steps up to the plate I will go to the bull pen for the save and write another one. If you ever wanted to write a summary and wasn't sure this is a good show to do it on. It helped me a lot on a Big Brother 3 summary. Now I am Officialy on the Survivor6 schedule of summaries. I will let you in on all my secrets for just $9.99. You'll get: How to take a nothing show and make it seem like almost something, you'll get a video tape about how this isn't a "The Amazing Race" or "Lost" ripoff. You will also get my never before heard,"what to do if Disney pulls this show too" plan. If you act now, you will get an official Survivorscott bobblehead doll. Act now supplies are running low.
Purchasing of the plan does not mean you will be a good summary writer, just a summary writer. Not valid in Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Island.

Come in a stranger,leave a little stranger

Okay, tentatively, I'm going to slot the two of you in for episodes 4 and 5 as well. If there's still no response as we get closer to episodes 6, I'll drop myself into the mix again, too. If, for some reason, we suddenly get flooded with other people volunteering, I'll let y'all off the hook. (I'm half-tempted to email the clown. This show seems like it'd be right up his alley, as big a sports junkie as he is.) Here's the tentative new schedule. Thanks for offering for extra duty!

Episode #1 - Tuesday, September 17 - survivorscott (complete)
Episode #2 - Tuesday, September 24 - ElCinOhio (complete)
Episode #3 - Tuesday, October 1 - SherpaDave
Episode #4 - Tuesday, October 8 - survivorscott
Episode #5 - Tuesday, October 15 - ElCinOhio
Episode #6 - Tuesday, October 22 - TBA
Episode #7 - Tuesday, October 29 - TBA
Episode #8 - Tuesday, November 5 - TBA

Well, looks like we're the official Gang of Three. If neither of you have any objections, I'm going to go ahead and slot us in for the last three shows. Let me know if either of you have any schedule conflicts or are just plain sick of writing these.

Episode #1 - Tuesday, September 17 - survivorscott (complete)
Episode #2 - Tuesday, September 24 - ELCinOhio (complete)
Episode #3 - Tuesday, October 1 - SherpaDave (complete)
Episode #4 - Tuesday, October 8 - survivorscott (complete)
Episode #5 - Tuesday, October 15 - ELCinOhio (complete)
Episode #6 - Tuesday, October 22 - MandyM
Episode #7 - Tuesday, October 29 - survivorscott
Episode #8 - Tuesday, November 5 - ELCinOhio

Thanks, guys! Much appreciated! Also, thanks to MandyM for offering to fill in for me since my new job will keep me away from a TV for the rest of the season.

A FINALE!!!!!!

GO ME... it's all good, I was looking back at other shows, and in the early season summary writers seemed hard to come by to
