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.

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."

"Like we need another mystery to solve. . ." |
This is for you conspiracy buffs who never venture outside the Spoilers: There has arisen a huge debate on Bashers http://community.survivorblows.com/boards/DCForumID1/431.shtml#0 as to the true identity of one Shakes the Clown. . . He denies that he's an MB plant, but has taunted us with the idea that his true identity will shock and amaze us.The Bashers can't seem to stay focused on the matter at hand (more are concerned more with their press passes for his supposed revelatory press conference Thursday night at 10 in one of the chat rooms!), so I thought it might help more to get some real brainiacs on the job. IS Shakes who he says he is? or is he actually a former poster (from SI--SS or SB)? or an actual Survivor AW? Is this a red herring he's thrown out to us, to amuse himself on the side? So far, the most likely contenders for who he might be are Island Heat (unlikely--the gay lover shtick seems too integral for him to be able to abandon it, though many of us would like the mystery of what happened to IH solved), SuperPole 2000, Mock Burnett, Damitol, or even Dicque (the dĄck we all loved to hate--how ironic, if he should be our beloved Evil Clown!). He has tossed out a bogus, lameass clue ("LC"), in addition to promising that he's left plenty of clues in his posts and summaries. All we (think we) know is that Shakes is probably male (those sports references), probably a lawyer (none too busy, given the amount he posts. . .), and probably in the eastern time zone. Aside from that, the SB Profiles seem to offer no clue as to what LC could mean or who Shakes might likely have been in a former incarnation. I have yet to follow up on my own nagging thought that Leif declared ages ago that he would never again set foot on the Spoilers board--or when Shakes actually became such a prominent figure here. Coincidence? The Viking has been largely absent, the last couple weeks, so has not bothered to scoff at this idea. (I don't think there's much else to support the idea, other than the fact that you don't see them in the same place at once. . . Leif has the intellectual prowess and a wicked sense of humor, but seems too in-your-face to pull off such an act of deception--besides, I can't see him giving up his DAW numbers.) DK was quite astute to target Shakes as an imposter, but this calls for a concerted effort, if we are to solve this before the 10 pm (Thurs.) deadline. I have a hard enough time deciding who's getting booted each week (though I HAVE had pretty good success these last three weeks!), Vamps is completely overwhelmed by the whole thing, and Dalton is having serious computer problems and isn't free to kick arse like she'd like to. We've had some good attempts by newer members, but I thought this called for some experience. Any takers? GT

Yep, in or near Chicago currently...another post says that he has to get to O'Hare to pick up a friend. And the Sox comment nails him; not many non-locals would make that claim (hell, not even many locals would LOL).

32. "RE: cbs prez" |
One of the problems I've always had with the "lock box story", is that I can't believe the President of CBS doesn't know the out come of the most popular "reality show" on his network. Especially considering after FOX's little fiasco with "Who Want's To Marry A Millionaire". I know a couple of weeks ago Letterman was complaining about getting a visit from the President of CBS, and it sounded like he got chewed out. I never did hear exactly what he got chewed out over. Does anyone else remember something along these lines? If so, might it tie into a Letterman/STC connection?

7. "Speaking of Letterman..." |
LAST EDITED ON 04-18-01 AT 02:18 PM (EST)I've posted my theory, here: http://community.survivorblows.com/boards/DCForumID1/444.shtml#2
I think that Shakes is either Rich Hatch, or, more likely, a contestant on an upcoming reality show... go read for yourself.
EDIT: per Vamp's request, here's the part that counts...
LC = Love Cruise
Shakes has talked in numerous threads about upcoming reality shows, and even mentioned the time frame that Fox's Love Cruise was filmed... he has also recently professed to knowing "standard practice" at reality shows (Ie what contestants are allowed to bring, etc.), indicating that he may have some experience. Thus, my official guess is that on Thursday at 10pm, EST, shakes will announce that he is one of the contestants that will appear on Fox's Love Cruise, and consequently, he will be forbidden from discussing anything relating to the show on this website, due to his contract, and that someone else will have to write the summaries for that show.

9. "RE: Like we need another mystery to solve. . ." |
What I want to know is this. In the summaries, in Episode 3 AyaK says, "… tune in next time to see Michael paint himself in blood!"But this doesn't happen until Episode 4 summary written by Shakes:
"Everyone gathers around to see the butchering of the pig and Lizliz starts to cry as Mike goes completely over the edge by spreading the pig’s blood all over his face" How was it known in Episode Summary 3 that Mike was going to spread the blood over his face? 
Come on Tina, do Tennessee proud

"Shakes the Clown" is, in fact, the "Citizen Kane" of alcoholic clown movies.

Just a quick thought...there are those that think Shakes is a member of the legal profession, so could "LC" be "Legal Counsel"? Shakes as consiglieri? That's a scary thought

If Shakes is an attorney, he must be having a serious problem with what's called "billable hours". That's time you can charge on some client's bill. Unless MB is a client, his income would be in real trouble. On the other hand, he argues and rebuts like a lawyer. Maybe some time in law school?

25. "RE: Like we need another mystery to solve. . ." |
Since I'm the one who begged Island Heat to write the S1 summaries for this board and told everyone how good they were (check the archives if you don't believe me), and am also the self-elected president of the Cleveland Chapter of WLSFC, I'm sure IH and STC are not the same person. IH's fantasy tangents would have included Nick and Colby, not Amber and LisLislis and would have been much wordier.I still do want to know what happened to IH, but that is another mystery for another time, perhaps. I checked the names of all the S1 summary writers on the SS board and none have the initials L.C. and I didn't really see Shakes's writing style in any of the summmaries I skimmed. L.C. could stand for Lovely Colleen, but I just don't see Colleen writing the lesbian fantasies or having a memory of some of the older movies referred to in the summaries. The only S1 contestant I could think of that would be both old enough and smart enough to write those summaries would be Gretchen, and I just don't see it. I'm also pretty sure Shakes in not David Letterman. I think Dave really does know nothing about Survivor and wants to keep it that way. L.C. might be Letterman's Challenger, meaning Jay Leno, but that would be too far a stretch for me. Are there any common actors or producers in both "Shakes the Clown" and "Endless Love"? (And why was the year 1981 mentioned, for clarification, or a further clue?) Never having seen all of either film, I'm no help here either. I'm personally holding out for clue 3 at this point. Now my head hurts. Something tells me STC's identify will be more interesting than S2's outcome at this point. J.

LAST EDITED ON 04-19-01 AT 09:18 AM (EST)Are there any common actors or producers in both "Shakes the Clown" and "Endless Love"? I'm fairly young so I don't know much about these movies but I do know that Adam Sandler played in "Shakes the Clown" and that in the movie "Happy Gilmore" the song "Endless love" plays in one of the scenes. I don't know if that means anything but I thought I'd share my thought! Edited cause I can't spell...

Jesus from the Dan and Scott show is a writer for tv. Have you ever read Shakes Summaries, they are incredible. He definitley has a talent for writing. I think this is an actual possibility.
