PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR red herrings???" |
All through the message boards posts appear from someone who has seen something on one of the legs, and that get's speculation started as to the winner of the leg or the race. Does snyone think that the TAR producers are above planting phoney posts on the message boards to divert attention from the correct prediction to stimulate a surprise ending? Predicting the outcome has become a big sport but all the cards are in the hands of the TAR producers.

Except for FCC regulations on game shows (which TAR is classified as), the loss of reputation about being rigged, as well as online offshore gambling being a grey area at best and completely illegal at most. No CBS lawyer or exec would EVER sign off on pulling a betting stunt like that, but because the negative repercussions would far exceed any type of benefit they would get by trying to throw us off. Besides, relatively few people follow these forums compared to the total number of viewers.

Occam's Razor: One should make no more assumptions than needed.IOW, go with the simplest explanation instead of an overly complex one. TAR producers don't have to plant phony posts. Fans already do it enough. Look at the London fake photos posted a few weeks ago. Essentially is came down to someone who wanted win a bet with a friend that he could generate traffic regarding his fake picture. He wanted his 15 minutes of being "cool", just like what many fake spoilers are intended to do. Do the high up producers visit these types of forums? I'd actually be suprised if they do. Does some lowly production assistant? I'd be suprised if they didn't. Your right, all the cards are in the hands of the producers. They want to produce as good of a show as they can to attract and maintain as many viewers as they want. More viewers = more advertising money. However, they aren't going to go about it in a way that could possibly jepordize the integrity of the show to a point where it costs them viewers.
