This thread is the episode summary writer sign-up thread for "The Benefactor," which premieres Monday, September 13 at 8PM ET and will be consist of X episodes. And as a bonus, Cuban -- the founder of HDNet -- made sure the show was filmed and broadcast in HDTV, making it the first reality-competition show to do so (Burnett's "The Casino" was the first and only other reality show to, so far, be broadcast in HDTV... at least that I'm aware of...)

To sign up, please post your interest in this thread, as well as any applicable date restrictions that you may have. Writer selection will be arbitrary, sorry. Please note however, that we are also running open sign-up threads for several other shows, 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.

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.

Based on our previous Fall summary thread, the following folks have already expressed interest and don't need to post again:

- Draco
- I_AM_HE (maybe)
- ssshaw
- Estee
- survivorscott (vaca 11/4-11/11)
- kpod
- jack_bauer
- Lisapooh

...I'm still trying to find out exactly how many episodes the series will be, but I think it's eight.

Any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
SB
