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."

"Josh's unit called up?" |
I heard on a national morning radio show that Josh's unit was called up, but have not seen anything posted on this board. Anyone out there know anything on this?

Kidd Kraddick. He's based here in Texas, but is syndicated nationally. I'll hop over to the American Idol site and see if anything is on there.

4. "Update" |
from NYPOST.comMarch 27, 2003 -- 'AMERICAN Idol" favorite, Lance Corp. Josh Gracin, is on 24-hour notice to be called up for active duty in the Iraq war.
"Joshua has been very up front with us from the very beginning that he might have to leave us," Ken Warwick, a co-executive producer on "American Idol," told The Los Angeles Times.
"He's in contact with his commander, and he might have to go. He's got a lot to lose."
Gracin, 21, is among the nine finalists left on the popular reality-talent show.
But he is also a U.S. Marine with the 1st Force Service Support Group. He is on leave from his unit is based at Camp Pendleton, near San Diego.
Fox and the producers of "Idol" have already told Gracin if an order to deploy forces him to leave the show, he can return next season as one the show's top 10 finalists.
"That was a weight off his shoulders," a source close to Gracin told The Post yesterday.
But the loss of a contestant to military duty would add a new and melodramatic element to the hit talent show - which is already the biggest new series of the year.
The Marine is married, has a young daughter and is currently living with the other finalists in a luxurious secluded location and could not be reached for comment.
"Within each unit is a section that might not be called up, and Joshua belongs to one of those sections," said Staff Sgt. Chad McMeen, a member of the Marine Corps television and film liaison office in Los Angeles who has been assigned to keep Gracin in top shape in the event the Lance Corporal has to ship out.
The pair usually exercise three or four times a week together.
"We're making sure he maintains the Marine Corps standards," said McMeen.
"As you've seen on the show he maintains his haircut, his weight and obviously physical fitness is a large part of being a Marine," he said.
McMeen said Gracin also works out regularly on the Nautilus equipment, treadmill and stationary bike in the "American Idol" house and does stomach crunches and push-ups with McMeen.
"We're doing standard Marine stuff," McMeen said. "The thing that's hard to find is a pull-up bar, so we're working on that."
Early yesterday morning Gracin and McMeen ran about three miles, "but it was on a 20 percent grade," said McMeen to point out that the work out was rigorous.
What I find interesting about this article is that according to google search "Josh Gracin unit", a reply to this story has been posted on joshgracin.com, but is not on the site itself. Could FUX have pulled the plug on this reply? If so, then what's up?

5. "RE: Update" |
Help me out with the terminology, I want to make sure I have it right. So Josh hasn't been called up yet, but will have only 24 hours notice if they are?

It doesn't appear that he has been called up, but I am still curious about the whole joshgracin.com removal. A 24 hour window is not much time, but it will give him enough time to videotape a goodbye (or say it live on Tuesday).

I would think if he had 24 hours, he wouldn't bother taping a goodbye, he'd be trying to see his wife and kid before he left. At least I would, American Idol be d*mned.
