"A must-read"

I hate to send people to other Web sites, but the Michael interview is simply one of the most enjoyable pieces that I've read in a long time. I would like to give full credit to Jill Jensen for writing it, and to Michael for being his usual witty, loquacious self.

Everyone on this board should read this interview. Really.

... and there seems to be very little editorializing on the part of the author. Looks like Michael gave a paragraph of good quality material for just about every question that she asked.

I particularily liked the references to the 'job action' by the four male contestants in front of their hotel room. Almost makes you wonder if the behind the scenes turmoil did not, in some fashion, inform the on-screen machinations ie: the rather fluid state of the game's rules.

Definitely worth the read!

This is a very good read. Michael is very open and candid in telling how things were on the show. It's too bad that some of the others can't drop the act, fess up and be as open as Michael is right now.

An excellent interview. I had no idea he was a St. Louis Rams fan...

...yes, but there was plenty of editorializing on the part of the website's webmaster, MissMary. When I return from my trip to sunny Orlando on the 30th I'll post the parts that were left on the cutting room floor, including even more trashing of Toni as well as some well deserved trashing of realitytvfans.com...I guess they can dish it out, but they can't take it.

...thanks IC and to all the rest that enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun with the phone interview with Jill Jenson and it was nice to get a lot of that stuff off my chest and unlije 99% of the people that do these post-show interviews, I didn't hold back one iota and just let my true feelings fly cause after all, if you are just gonna give the usual PC answers then what's the point anyway?

Now, have to get ready for another crazy nigth out on the town in booming downtown Orlando.


Guess who?

By the way, I was always wondering what made you decide to do an interview with them in the first place, Michael? Checking around their forums and such, I learned that....you're not exactly held in...um...high esteem there. I'm surpised you decided to give an interview with a site that usually considers you a "sleaze." Didn't all that bother you?

....yeah, I really dislike that site and the morons who call themselves members so I did the interview to try and make them hate me even more...unfortunately the webmaster editted out all my comments about their site and message board members.

Also, I wanted to respond to some of the lies that Toni said in her interview there, plus I really liked the look of Jill's interview with Lisa.

Yeah, I really don't understand how basically every person there is such an idiot...I mean, its understandable for some people not to like me on the show as was the case on every other website including this one, but for EVERY person on a site to dislike me just reaffirms what I felf about that site even before LC started, that being that it houses the biggest group of idiots on any reality tv website out there.

Keep in mind that this is the same site that tried to cover up for Manuel after I caught him giving up the identity of last year's Mole in an interview he did there.

Oh well, I'll post the full transcript with highlights on what was editted next week and you'll see what I mean.

Guess who?

The interview was a great read.....can't wait to see it in it's entirety! Don't be too harsh on the peeps on that site though...it was through a nice member there that I found THIS place! And to that person, I will always be grateful, because now I have a place to call "home"!

Um, great plan there chessmaster Looks like another grand scheme that blew up in your face.

Seriously, what did you expect... I had forgotten your history with them, but clearly they used you for what they wanted, no surprise there. Silly shakes, RTVF is for kids... they are good at what they do, and deserve all the kudos they get for that, but impartial, balanced reporting and fair criticism is not their forte. They truly represent the "fanatic*" definition of "fans."

"like David Hasselhoff in Germany"

...man shakes, you REALLY have gotten desperate -- LOL

Nice interview (although I have to say, having already known 99% of the content from your answers here, or in live chat, etc., it did come across a bit like hearing one of my relatives stories for the 4th-5th time on during the holiday gatherings )

Happy holidays everyone...

Great interview--best one of the LC ones so far. I totally agree with you about realitytvfans.com. That is the most inane reality fan site I have ever seen. Their commentary about the various reality shows are insipid and provide no more than shallow insight. (And are often plain wrong) I often ask myself from reading their comments how so many people can be so stupid too.
