Devious Weasel 18756 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 09:36 AM (EST) "Scripted!" I think this is unique enough to stand on its own, but feel free to lock Bebo if you think otherwise. I mean, Bebo, feel free to lock. I don't think any of us should feel free to lock Bebo. Courtesy of MJ's Big Blog, here is an Access Hollywood article about the "Taylor forced to choose" incident. Don't think Taylor picking the "safe" group was of his own accord. During the commercial break, Executive Producer, Nigel Lythgoe, filled Taylor in on the fake-out handshake to Chris Daughtry and which group to choose.   Top

Maroonclown 5829 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 09:44 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Scripted!" LAST EDITED ON 04-21-06 AT 10:27 AM (EST) As I stated in another thread, I knew something was fishy. It just looked too weird. His handshake to Chris was almost one of those fake-out ones. It's too nerve-wracking up there for the Idols to think that quickly as to which group they will choose. No time for strategy when your future is on the line. He was told, plain and simple. And probably because they didn't want another George Huffman debacle on thier hands. arkie spring thing   Top

Maroonclown 5829 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 11:47 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Scripted!" Noted. I called him Huffman in the other thread too. But I won't feel stupid because I'm rather pleased that I remembered even that much from the previous seasons. arkie spring thing   Top

priestdi 378 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-21-06, 11:43 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Scripted!" I really detest the producers for crap like this. They suck so much fun out of it for me. I don't need more reasons to be cynical about the world. This totally undermines the things I originally liked about the show.   Top

LisaPles 740 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-21-06, 02:15 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Scripted!" I am so sick of Ryan Dorkcrest and his little dog and pony shows! I really don't know how the adult contestants can handle the indignity of it all! The format of the show was so bad to begin with and now it's old and tired. I don't even care about watching the rest of this season. As far as production is concerned, I think this show is the worst!   Top

He's >just another member of the >dog and pony show. Yes, you are absolutely right. Ryan's just the ringmaster! I think he often adds insult to injury with his stupid comments. I wonder how much of his schtick is scripted and how much is improv. I agree that the older contestants aren't going to want to play along with the producers stupid games. I would really like to see some rebellion going on to stir things up a bit! Now that might make this season interesting.   Top

Devious Weasel 18756 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 02:57 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Scripted!" Not only was it not his idea, if anything, it seems like the point was to put Seacrest on the spot. So yeah, I don't think I would be blaming him.   Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 02:20 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Scripted!" Doesn't surprise me especially since Taylor looked like he was about to tell them all to fvck off. an arkie work of art   Top

tamarama 1785 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 04-21-06, 02:31 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Scripted!" I got that impression too -- I think you're not going to get any of the "older" contestants to go along as blithely as George did (poor George, that sucked) -- and they didn't want another Bo incident (standing between the groups, which was awesome) so I'm not surprised they would plan something. Still sucks. I hope that now they'll abide by the rule of 3's and NEVER do that again.   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 02:48 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Scripted!" Rule of 3's? What's that? Sig by Arkie!! Holey carp! My blog! MySpace! Official OT Tassel Adjuster o-   Top

Devious Weasel 18756 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 02:56 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Scripted!" I'm not so sure anymore that Bo decided to stand in the middle by himself. I bet that was scripted too.   Top

tamarama 1785 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 04-21-06, 03:32 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Scripted!" Could be, Dweeze, wouldn't surprise me. The rule of 3's is a comedy/theater thing... If you're going to use a gag, use it 3 times. Twice isn't enough to establish it as a 'bit', and 4 times is too many, not funny anymore. (of course, this 'bit' wasn't EVER funny.)   Top

sica077 523 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-23-06, 12:42 PM (EST) 19. "RE: Scripted!" I must have missed the boat (and the season) on George Huff...what happened??   Top

halfpintlemon 91 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 04-24-06, 09:19 AM (EST) 22. "RE: Scripted!" It was season...3? Yeah I'm gonna go with season 3 and after Ryan had formed 2 groups of 3, George Huff was asked which group he thought was safe and to join that group. George, not knowing which one was safe, went to the bottom three instead of the top three. If it rings any bells, this is the week that Fantasia, Latoya London, and Jennifer Hudson were all in the bottom three.   Top

sica077 523 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-24-06, 12:23 PM (EST) 23. "RE: Scripted!" Ahh, I see. Thanks for the update! I felt out of the loop!   Top

Magnolia_Rocker 2139 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 04-21-06, 02:55 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Scripted!" I don't care how much they try to deny it every reality TV show is scripted in one form or another. They can say all day long that it isn't and I won't believe them. Siggy thanks to Syren!   Top

singer 1910 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 04-21-06, 03:40 PM (EST) 17. "Agree, totally" Magnolia Rocker. The directing, editing, and scripting thing appears on every show. And if they are going to edit things or even rig votes (my subjective belief), why don't they make sure that the best singers make it to the finals? Instead, they focus on trying to make the contestants feel bad, like with the Taylor incident. I wish he had thrown a tomato at the producers. --Singer   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-21-06, 04:22 PM (EST) 18. "RE: Agree, totally" But at the same time, if it's that scripted, he shouldn't feel bad. Basically, he's been told "go stand by those ones over there". He doesn't have to make the choice of who's top 3 or who's bottom 3. And if even the handshake deal was planned ahed of time, that makes it even less likely that he'd feel bad. Sig by Arkie!! Holey carp! My blog! MySpace! Official OT Tassel Adjuster o-   Top

finallytyping 401 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 04-23-06, 01:28 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Agree, totally" The script can really backfire on a contestant. I started watching AI in season 2. There was a female contestant who had red streaked hair, in a calmed down punk style. I remember her having the typical sit and chat with Seacrest after her performance. He got her to say something negative about Simon (I think) and it ended up being a factor in her getting the boot. I wasn't lurking here at the time so it might have already been discussed to death. I did feel sorry for her.   Top

jazzyjeff 10 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 04-24-06, 08:43 AM (EST) 21. "RE: Scripted!" I think that 90% of everything is now scripted. This year it seems like more and more of the show is set ahead of time.   Top

Tahj 4136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 04-24-06, 04:24 PM (EST) 24. "RE: Scripted!" I think it would be great if one of them actually had the guts to say, "No, I refuse to do it," then tell them to quit playing silly little games. Moves courtesy of Syren   Top

bookwomanblue 205 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 04-24-06, 07:19 PM (EST) 25. "RE: Scripted!" They may want to do that, but this is their shot at a major recording contract. At this stage, they don't want to blow it by not going along with the flow!   Top
