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."

"State of the Spoiling - Volunteers Wanted!!!" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-17-04 AT 09:02 PM (EST)I am looking for volunteers to help with our official State of the Spoiling (SOTS). What's that, you ask? Well... each week, we will publish a thread that tries to consolidate and refocus all of the spoiling for the week... the goal of the thread is primarily to inform, but it also acts as an index of the active posts in spoilers and encourages focussed discussion of the theories that have surfaced each week. We are looking for volunteers to put together this thread on a week-by-week basis... the job is a one week commitment, and here's what it entails:
- Make an attempt to read all of the active (ie: unlocked) threads in Spoilers between Thursday Night (after the show airs) and Tuesday Night for a week (actually... only five days).
- Assemble a summary, including links back to the original posts, of the various spoiling theories, to be posted sometime Tuesday Night or Wednesday Morning
I've found that this can be a mildly time-consuming task... it typically takes me about an hour to summarize and link everything in Spoilers, but may take you more or less time, depending on how organized you are... I've also found that the best approach is to take notes throughout the week as you read the forum, so that when it's time to post the SOTS, you already have an outline of what's been happening in Spoilers for a week. Here are a few examples of previous SOTS (yeah... they're all mine... so sue me ):
Survivor 3, Episode 2
Survivor 3, Episode 5 (The Twist)
Survivor 4, Episode 2 If you are interested in volunteering to take on SOTS for a week, please reply to this thread, and indicate any dates that you are not available... also, if you are interested in doing the first episode, please say so, since this one is usually a bit more time consuming. Since we do not know the exact dates for some of the episodes, nor do we know the finale date, nor do we know how many episodes there are, some of these episode dates may change... we'll play this by ear. E1 - Sun., Feb. 1 - SOTS to be posted Thurs. Jan. 29
E2 - Thurs., Feb. 5 - SOTS to be posted Tues. afternoon, Feb. 3 (or Wednesday morning)
E3 - Feb. 12 - SOTS Tues., Feb. 10
E4 - Feb. 19 - SOTS Tues., Feb. 17
E5 - Feb. 26 - SOTS Tues., Feb. 24
E6 - Mar. 4 - SOTS Tues., Mar. 2
E7 - Mar. 11 - SOTS Tues., Mar. 9
E8 - WEDNESDAY Mar. 17 - SOTS MONDAY, Mar. 15 (Episode on Wed. due to March Madness)
E9 - WEDNESDAY Mar. 24 - SOTS MONDAY, Mar. 22 (Episode on Wed. due to March Madness)
E10 - Apr. 1 - SOTS Tues., Mar. 30
E11 - Apr. 8 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 6
E12 - Apr. 15 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 13
E13 - Apr. 22 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 20
E14 - Apr. 29 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 27
E15?? - May 6 - SOTS Tues., May 4
E16?? - May 13 - SOTS Tues., May 11 Here's the deal: I will leave this thread open for about a week, before beginning to assign SOTS. I will probably assign only the first half of the season at this time, and request additional volunteers later for the second half. (Although if you are interested in doing a SOTS in the second half, sign up now, and you'll still be considered).
People selected to do SOTS will be notified via e-mail with additional information and posting guidelines... the full list of those selected will be posted here, whenever I finally get around to making the selections.

LAST EDITED ON 01-14-04 AT 03:43 PM (EST)Hey there, I know, my DAW is like 2 or something (okay maybe its its closer to 35) but I have been coming here and lurking since like, well, relatively close to forever. I'd love the opportunity to do a SOTS - how groovy-funky-cool would *that* be?!? So anyway, yah, I'm throwin my perverbial hat into the ring and offering my services up for the group. Oh yeah, for qualifications, I am a published poet, and I recently received 2nd place in a Halloween Writer's contest (I can furnish evidence of my writing ability upon request is basically what I'm saying LOL) I'll understand if you pass me up tho. As for dates, I'm pretty good for any of the dates, so I guess I'd say I have no 'blackout dates' at all. ~ihavturtlduvluv

20. "Be nice Blow by Blow..." |
Welcome turtlduvluv!Listen to Krautboy honey (and me of course!) Spelling is NOT a pre-requisite for doing a SOTS. Combining all the threads into a "One Stop Shop" is what's important. Being funny is also not important. Some SOTS are straight forward links to threads, others are witty...we've got it all. Also sleeeve likes to give everyone a chance to do the SOTS. It's a good place for new people and "de-lurked" people to stretch their posting wings. Your enthusiasm is great, I too hope that sleeeve can find you a spot.

11. "RE: *cautiously raising hand* I'd love to do it" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-14-04 AT 05:25 PM (EST)I don't have the guts to do it myself... Well, the humorous advice given to someone last time was: Copy all of Krautboy's logic into a single post, slap on the SOTS logo, and -- voila -- your SOTS is complete! So I'd say you've done quite a few of them, albeit unintentionally...  ETA: Evidently it was TeamJoisey who came up with this formula...sorry I didn't credit him.

Duv... There are guidelines, of course, but rythym, rhyme, punctuation and spelling don't really matter, as long as the meaning is clear. I was just funnin' wit ya about the poetry.Here are a few tips though: 1. Sound intelligent. 2. Beware the spinning clown if you violate rule No .1. 3. Enjoy yourself, even if you draw out the clown. 
These reality show contestants need a reality check!

67. "SOTS Assignments - Writers Please Reply" |
Okay... finally the list is here. Writers - please respond ASAP to either accept your episode assignment or to decline. Unlike previous seasons, you are accepting an air date, NOT an episode number. Therefore, you will post your SOTS during the assigned week no matter what episode number airs at that time. There are two exceptions to this. First of all, if a recap episode occurs, EVERYONE WILL BE BUMPED BACK ONE WEEK. Secondly, as is tradition, one of the blue people will be assigned the finale episode. Therefore, since we do not know the exact number of episodes, IF THE FINALE IS NOT EPISODE SIXTEEN, the last writers will NOT write a SOTS for this season... sorry Unfortunately (or fortunately, in my opinion), we have more volunteers that needed. I have compiled an alternate list based on the people who indicated that they would rather be an alternate or would defer to the larger list. The alternate list is based on the order that you signed up. volsfan and GuessItRains were the last two to volunteer, so they have been assigned episodes 14 and 15 which may or may not air (sorry!) Thanks to ICB for his help in sorting through all of the posts off topic posts in this thread and e-mailing me the list of people that actually expressed interest in doing a SOTS. Here's the list, and the list of alternates (in case any of you cannot complete the episode that airs during the week assigned to you). As always, please reply to this post to accept your assignment. If you do not reply, your episode will likely be reassigned to one of the alternates. Thanks!! E1 - Sun., Feb. 1 - SOTS to be posted Thurs. Jan. 29 - SurvivaBear
E2 - Thurs., Feb. 5 - SOTS to be posted Tues. afternoon, Feb. 3 (or Wednesday morning) - mistofleas
E3 - Feb. 12 - SOTS Tues., Feb. 10 - strid333
E4 - Feb. 19 - SOTS Tues., Feb. 17 - Devious Weasel
E5 - Feb. 26 - SOTS Tues., Feb. 24 - udg
E6 - Mar. 4 - SOTS Tues., Mar. 2 - survivorscott
E7 - Mar. 11 - SOTS Tues., Mar. 9 - TeamJoisey
E8 - WEDNESDAY Mar. 17 - SOTS MONDAY, Mar. 15 (Episode on Wed. due to March Madness) - pmspml5
E9 - WEDNESDAY Mar. 24 - SOTS MONDAY, Mar. 22 (Episode on Wed. due to March Madness) - ihavturtlduvluv
E10 - Apr. 1 - SOTS Tues., Mar. 30 - KObrien_fan
E11 - Apr. 8 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 6 - J_Slice
E12 - Apr. 15 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 13 - ExInterper
E13 - Apr. 22 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 20 - PepeLePew13
E14?? - Apr. 29 - SOTS Tues., Apr. 27 - volsfan
E15?? - May 6 - SOTS Tues., May 4 - GuessItRains
Finale - Whenever it airs (preempting all other assignments) - Bebo Alternates (in order they will be asked):
1) idiotcowboy
2) buckeyegirl
3) brownroach
4) cqvenus Writers will recieve an e-mail approximately one week before they are scheduled to post their SOTS with additional instructions. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me or PM me to ask. Thanks to everyone that volunteered... I'm looking forward to a great season!!!

87. "RE: Recap" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-22-04 AT 07:27 PM (EST)Thanks, ihavturtlduvluv for compiling this week's SOTS! I had to make a judgement call earlier this week in order to make sure that ihavturtlduvluv had time to compile this week's SOTS, and since it was (and maybe still is!!!) ambiguous about whether or not this week will have a bootee, I decided that there WOULD be a SOTS this week, and asked ihavturtlduvluv to take care of it. Therefore, the original schedule stays IN TACT... there are no changes. Thanks!! -eee PS: I have deleted KObrien_fan's post, just to make sure that no one gets that schedule confused with the correct one

91. "RE: SOTS For this week" |
>Is Pepe around to do this weeks SOTS, or do we
>need a sub here? Yes, Pepe has apparently once again failed to deliver on what he signed up to do, but maybe it's our fault for giving him another opportunity after he had already repeatedly demonstrated his inability to follow through on his commitments. See the summary for The Bachelor 3 Ep. 4 ... which doesn't exist, My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance Ep. 5 ... which doesn't exist, and Survivor Pearl Islands Ep. 2 ... which at least does exist, although it wasn't posted until after Ep. 3 aired. Not to mention his track record of ignoring the majority of my repeated e-mails and PM's inquiring as to his status on these projects. If anyone wants to step up and offer to do an emergency SOTS, the community, the mods, and I would be very grateful. As for Pepe, please don't bother to both waste my time and deny opportunities to others by volunteering for any additional writing assignments. I understand things come up and that this is a volunteer system, but there's little excuse for failing to deliver multiple times and not giving the simple courtesy of a response to repeated status inquiries. At this point I can only assume it's become some type of game with you... reliability to an important factor in these assignments, and fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, but three strikes and you're out (or something like that.)
Thanks,
SB

We typically assign the SOTS episodes before the season starts, and as you can see from post #67 in this thread, we had more than enough volunteers. Check back next fall about a month before the premeire of Survivor 9 for your chance to volunteer for the next season.
