SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-09-04, 09:14 PM (EST) "*** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" LAST EDITED ON 05-09-04 AT 09:20 PM (EST) Hi folks, as many of you are no doubt aware, there are going to be a *TON* of reality shows airing this summer, ranging from returning big hit shows like The Amazing Race 5, Big Brother 5, For Love Or Money 3 and The Simple Life 2, to smaller hits like Joe Schmo 2, Last Comic Standing 2, and Who Wants To Marry My Dad 2, to brand new shows like The Casino and Outback Jack. ...and that's not even counting the expected return of FOX's previously pulled Playing It Straight and Forever Eden series. By my count, that's a heck of a lot of possible episode summaries, so, rather than deal with all these shows on an individual basis, we're interested in polling the community to determine, given the expected overlapping schedules, etc. and our limited number of summary writers, which shows folks have interest in summarizing. Below is a listing of every upcoming show of which we're aware, its premiere date, and broadcast network. I'm assuming that since we've covered them for several years now, The Amazing Race and Big Brother are summary writing "no brainers" and AK or I will be starting signup threads in their forums shortly. Beyond that, I'm looking to determine which shows folks have interest in summarizing and the extent of that interest (By "extent of interest" I mean how many episodes are you interested in writing? One episode only? Tag-teaming with someone else and doing the whole run like AK/Bebo did on Apprentice, Swami/I_AM_HE did on Mad Mad House, or Swami/Schnookie Palookie did on Cupid? Taking on a whole show like Isabelle did for Top Model 2?) That's the purpose of this thread -- what do you folks feel like writing about this summer. And based on the responses, we'll then follow up with individual signup threads, etc., but, given there are so many shows, before we did that I wanted to try and gauge what folks are interested in. As a reminder, while all our summary writing is on a volunteer basis, etc. reliablity, timeliness (or at least status communication) is important, and that while we can't offer anyone any $$$, we do occasionally partner with companies to promote stuff and, if we can, I do try and pass some of the goodies along to the show's corresponding episode writers -- as I've recently announced we've been enable to do with all of the writers of ABC's two "Celebrity Mole" editions -- all of which will be receiving free "Celebrity Mole Hawaii" DVD collections courtesy of Eagle Rock Entertainment! Thanks, SB Below are this summer's currently known reality shows: May 17 - Superstar USA - WB May ? - Forever Eden (returns) - FOX May ? - Playing It Straight (returns) - FOX June 7 - For Love Or Money 3 - NBC June 8 - The Casino - FOX June 8 - Last Comic Standing 2 - NBC June 14 - Who Wants To Marry My Dad - NBC June 15 - Next Action Star - NBC June 15 - Joe Schmo 2 - SpikeTV June 16 - The Simple Life 2 - FOX June 22 - Outback Jack - TBS July 6 - The Amazing Race 5 - CBS July 6 - Big Brother 5 - CBS   Top

tribephyl 12393 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-04, 02:43 AM (EST) 1. "PIS, Yes. TAR or BB, only if needed. Casino, Maybe" Hiya peeps! Just wanted to throw my hat in for "PIS". There was a thresd already started, for summary duties, but since the show was canceled I guess I just wanted to make sure I still got at least one episode of that show to rehash. I also think that Vols and sagebrush were slated as well. As far as TAR and BB. I still am a little wary, but will probably speak up in other ways in those forums. Other than The Casino, I won't be watching any of the other shows. So I can't promise anything about those shows. Would you need a nip/tuck summary writer? When will they learn it's all just a game.   Top

It has come to my attention that my abilities are sub-par for this exercise. Therefore, I respectfully take back my desire to summarize a show here. Sorry, for any inconvenience.

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-04, 07:14 AM (EST) 2. "RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" LAST EDITED ON 05-10-04 AT 07:15 AM (EST) Oh, boy. Let's see... I already signed onto the non-official TAR thread, no-brainer that it was. And I'm disqualified from writing any of the remaining PIS summaries through a combination of lack of good taste and effectively having done it already, so what's the point? Beyond that... I'd like to try Joe Schmo 2 (one episode or more -- but I think people will be lining up for this one), Last Comic Standing 2 (again, one episode, and only more if available: expect a small crowd), Next Action Star (as many as necessary -- it might be interesting to track beginning-to-end, if you wanted to see how many I could finish before killing myself), The Simple Life 2 (one episode, period, as that's probably my nausea tolerance level), and The Casino (as many as necessary, but if you want an on-site reporter, you're paying for it). I could also do Outback Jack (alternating?) if it turned out to be sufficiently stupid. I'd also like to make a pitch for the final episode of Forever Eden, whenever that hits. I saw this thing into the world, and I think I can stand to see it out. There, that's all the bad ones. Anyone want to claim the actual quality on the board?   Top

sablebunny 156 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-10-04, 09:18 AM (EST) 3. "RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" I've gotten so many giggles out of reading the fantastic summaries out here, I'd love to try to give some back. I'm planning to watch Casino and would be happy to do any or all of the recaps. I liked the tag-team recaps, so if someone else is willing, I'd do that for Casino. I'll probably watch TAR too (for the first time) but none of the others. But such i my love of this community, that I would be willing to watch and recap something else for the greater good.   Top

ballerina_of_doom 1462 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 05-10-04, 10:33 AM (EST) 6. "RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" Having been untried as a summary writer, and being pregnant and cranky (haha), i'll stick to small stuff right now. I would be interested in, and available writing for Simple Life 2 (any number. i have a high nausea tolerance. two kids who watched pokemon will do that to you), For Love Or Money 3 (love being nasty to golddiggers!!!), and since my children think it's the coolest show idea ever, I'll be forced to watch The Next Action Star...so I may as well make good use of that time, too. So...one or two of those shows...It's going to be a long summer...   Top

"RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" LAST EDITED ON 05-10-04 AT 02:36 PM (EST) I'd probably be game for an ep. of "Next Action Star" as well, if it's summarizable, since my bro and SIL will be watching. Maybe "The Contender" (or is that next year?) Of course I've already groveled in the unofficial TAR thread too, and my love for Schmo is known, although I'm unsure if I'll have SpikeTV at the time (probably will, but even if not I could still do it if someone's willing to be reimbursed for overnighting me a tape of an ep... of course, i'm sure there will be enough interest without me, so i'm not picky there. ETA that if I still don't know my SpikeTV status by the time you're ready to schedule Schmo summaries, I'm sure it would be simplest for all involved to just pass me by) and I'm still willing to take the next unscheduled FE ep., but will let anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the "biz" (that's what i like to call it anyway...ok, i'm lying) cut in line   Top

"RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" I've really enjoyed writing summaries, and will help out as much as possible this summer. TAR5 is my favorite - I would really like one episode of TAR. Others I can do: FLOM3, Who Wants to Marry My Dad, Joe Schmo 2, Simple Life 2, Outback Jack. Mark Handcrafted by RollDdice!

"RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" I definitely plan on following Schmo 2 and am willing to do as much or as little summary work as needed for that show. I'll be watching TAR 5 too, but I think I'll let the pros handle summaries there.   Top

I'd do the whole damn series, but so many other people want in, so I'll have to settle for one spot somewhere. I'll lurk in the bullpen if needed.

I know I'll be watching TAR but no way in hell I'd even try that one for a first time (besides the fact that so many others do such a fabulous job on it!). I'd give it a go on Last Comic 2 or Joe Schmo 2. It sounds like fun! --is going to test her chops by summarizing last night episode of the Restaurant for herself   Top

I always watch TAR and BB, but you will have no trouble getting summary writers for them. I will also likely watch Outback Jack, Next Action Star, maybe (just maybe) Superstar. If you really, really need an episode of Outback & Action Star--I may be game, but then reading an Angel/Mark tag-team for Jack would prolly be more fun. For those who have never done it--tag team writing is great fun!   Top

I'd love to tag-team with someone on Last Comic, but you've already got some interest there, so wherever you can fit me in...if you can fit me in. I've never done a Big Brother summary, and just started watching last season. Summarists are responsible for the whole week with this show, right? Again, wherever you can fit me in...if possible. Finally, TAR. I've already done 2 TAR summaries, so if this list fills up, and it should, I will defer. Should you need my services, I'd prefer one of the later episodes. Those early eps are a complete clusterfvck. Let me know... Fester   Top

"I'm taking the summer off" Except for TAR5, where summary writer supply clearly exceeds demand, I don't think I'll be watching any of these shows. What happened to "Beg, Borrow & Deal"? ESPN averaged about 22 viewers a week; surely that's good enough for a renewal. Maybe I'll try my hand at the various poker shows that will pop up on Bravo and ESPN over the summer. I'm not sure whether they're considered reality or not. "This is realitybites and I approved this post."   Top

I would love to write a summary or summaries for this show, and could use a tag team partner, if there is one available. Silvergirl Thanks for posting this, Webby!   Top

"RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" I will be watching BB5 and Last Comic Standing 2 for sure. I also planned on watching The Casino unless it's on at the same time as Last Comic Standing. I like most reality shows and watch at least some part of all of them. If given the honor to write summaries for this fine web site, I would religious watch and summariaze whatever show you needed me for! Thanks! "Evil" Dr. Will: Reality Show Legend!   Top

"RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" LAST EDITED ON 05-14-04 AT 07:40 PM (EST) Although I'm new here (More or less, I had a previous account and loss the password, but I was only new on that). Anyway, I'll take anything that you can't find anyone for, really for any of those shows. If I had to pick a group of shows, then I would prefer to do LCS2, The Casino, The Simple Life 2, and either of the 2 big CBS behemoths (Although I would prefer to stay out of TAR since I enjoy the usual writers there so much, I'd do it with guilt). As I said, I'd do anything that needs to be done (and I mean anything from the 14th on, my time is a bit limited before that, but I could get a good one in as well. Just throwing my interest out there and looking forward to reading some of the great Amazing Race/Big Brother ones coming up. ETA: I should note I am also more than willing to tag-team with anyone on a summary or whatever other crazy ideas you guys may have.   Top

"RE: *** Summer Episode Summary Writing Planning ***" If I'm not too late, I'd be happy to do a *few* (no more than three) summer episodes. I'd be happy to do Playing it Straight, For Love or Money 3, or Who Wants to Marry my Dad if you need. I could do some others, but I really enjoy mocking dating shows for some reason. I'll also be watching TAR but you have tons of really great writers volunteering for that show... Also, I will be out of the country in mid August for 10 days, so if I could beg not to be scheduled then. I'm not sure I could commit to getting my summaries prepared in a timely manner during that time period. Let me know if you can use me. A Kyngsladye Original   Top

I imagine FLOM3 and The Casino will have lots of volunteers, but should they not, I'm *definitely* watching The Casino throughout, and will gladly summarize any or all of those eps, and can probably write a few summaries for FLOM3, but am reluctant to say I can/will do all of it. ~ cq   Top

"6/2 Update" Hi everyone, first I wanted to thank everyone for their patience, some things came up and this took a bit longer than I imagined, and I apologize about that. After going through all the lists and preferences, and looking at how many people are interested in which shows and for how long, etc., AK and I have come up with the following: - Since I posted this, FOX announced PiS and Eden won't be back, so we adjusted everyone's interest appropriately (at least I think we did ) - Assuming their offers still stand, we'd like to schedule FesterFan1 and Silvergirl to alternate on Last Comic Standing 2. - Assuming their offers still stand, we'd like to schedule Estee and MTW to alternate on Outback Jack. - Unfortunately it doesn't look like Who Wants To Marry My Dad will have enough interest to support a full writing schedule (sorry volsfan ) but if someone is really interested in summarizing this, please private message me. - We'll be opening up signup threads later tonight for the following shows. In the signup thread, I'll be noting the names of folks who expressed interest in the show, however if you still have interest in writing for the show, please post a response in that particular show's sign-up thread to confirm your interest. And if you have interest in summarizing an episode from more than one of the below shows this summer, it would be helpful if you could note the other shows in your posting so that we can try and ensure any proposed schedule doesn't schedule you for back-to-back summaries, etc. 1) For Love Or Money 3 2) The Casino 3) Joe Schmo 2 4) The Simple Life 2 5) Next Action Star - Lastly, since we first posted this thread, ABC has announced two other summer shows, Ultimate Love Test (premiering today, June 2) and The Two-Timer (premiering June 23). Two Timer (from Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss) looks good... Love Test, not so much. We'll also be creating a Two-Timer signup thread to gauge interest in that show. Thanks to everyone for their patience! Thanks, SB   Top

"re: Tag-team assignments" LAST EDITED ON 06-03-04 AT 06:38 PM (EST) Hello, even though I'm pretty sure everyone's above comments are in jest, I just want to be clear that absolutely no slight was meant toward anyone with regard to my tag-team assignment decisions, nor was there frankly any great mystery to it -- in order to assign a tag-team twosome to a show, it required the volunteering of at least two tag-team writers... and if you look over the list, Last Comic Standing 2 and Outback Jack were the only shows to meet those requirements. All the other shows have open sign-up threads (except "Dad 2," which only had meager interest... and with volsfan being the only person to express interest in it who also didn't express interest in at least one other show) and if anyone is interested in potentially doing multiple episodes of a series, I think I mentioned, just note it in the appropriate open signup thread and I'll try and sort it all out when we do the assignments. In the specific case of LCS2, the situation was also additionally magnified by a case where every other volunteer also expressed interest in other shows. For Outback Jack I'm not sure we were so lucky, and for that I apologize. Thanks, SB   Top
