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

"Episode summaries for Fall '04 reality shows" |
LAST EDITED ON 08-31-04 AT 05:34 PM (EST)
EDITED TO FIX BOLDFACED LINKS
Hi folks, as some of you have no doubt already noticed, I've already posted episode summary writer sign-up threads for just about all the RETURNING shows for which we normally do episode summaries (Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, Last Comic Standing, and The Apprentice.) The lone exception is Top Model, which, as it was last season, will be summarized by the same (non-message board) volunteer on a weekly basis. That leaves all the BRAND-NEW shows that will be premiering this fall, plus the oddball returning shows that for whatever reason, have never previously had strong summary interest (Dream Job, Extreme Makeover, Fear Factor and The Surreal Life) Similar to the posting I did earlier this summer for all the summer shows, the point of this posting is to find out if there is any interest in writing summaries for any of these new shows, and if so, what is the extent of that interst. (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 Fester/Silvergirl did on Last Comic Standing, MTW/Estee did on Outback Jack, 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 and 3??) Below is a listing of every upcoming show of which I'm aware, its premiere date, and broadcast network. Shows in BOLD are returning shows that link to an already posted show sign-up thread. Shows that ARE NOT in bold but still have links contain a link to our news page for that show. Shows that have NO LINK are pretty much shows that AK and I know about, but so far have been too lazy/busy/otherwise unable to write a news story about yet. As a reminder, while all our summary writing is on a volunteer basis, etc. reliablity, timeliness (or at least status communication) is important, and 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. Beyond that, all we can offer is the appreciation of others and a chance for massive DAW-dom (which is probably what you are all really after anyways ) The Complex - FOX - August 30
Fear Factor - NBC - August 30
Last Comic Standing 3 - NBC - August 30
Dog The Bounty Hunter - A&E - August 31
The Surreal Life 3 - VH1 - September 5
In Search Of The Partridge Family - VH1 - September 5
Renovate My Family (previously called Family Time) - FOX - September 7
The Real World: Philadelphia - MTV - September 7
The Next Great Champ - FOX - September 7 (Maybe, depends on Burnett's lawsuit)
The Apprentice 2 - NBC - September 9
The Benefactor - ABC - September 13
Family Bonds - HBO - September 15
Survivor: Vanuatu - CBS - September 16
Dream Job 2 - ESPN - September 21
The Bachelor - ABC - September 22
America's Next Top Model 3 - UPN - September 22 (TAKEN)
Extreme Makeover - ABC - September 23
The Amazing Race 6 - CBS - September 25
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - ABC - September 26
Wife Swap - ABC - September 29
Cold Turkey - PAX - October 3
Model Citizens - PAX - October 4
The Club - Spike TV - October 12
The Partner - FOX - November 7
The Billionaire - FOX - November 9
The Contender - NBC - November ? Thanks,
SB

1. "RE: Episode summaries for Fall '04 reality shows" |
basically just repeating what I said in the Survivor thread:Survivor (and if I miss the draw or whatever process selections are made by, I'll throw my name in the ring for one of the handful of TAR6 spots still open) The Contender and possibly The Benefactor (I think Draco's already volunteered for the premier, so that'll give me a week to see if I can stomach Mark Cuban for long enough to write a summary  ) no real date restrictions, so long as summaries for more than 1 show aren't during the same week (and preferaly with an extra week between, but I'll do summaries in back to back weeks in a pinch if needed) oh, and to give credit where it is due, I believe it was MTW that tagged with Estee on Jack, not me. thanks Webby. you and AyaK are going to be busy scheduling all this, wow.

Copying this from the Survivor sign up thread: I'd like to do summaries for: Survivor
TAR
The Real World (will tag team with someone else if interested)
The Bachelor
Family Bonds
The Surreal Life Still looking into some of the other shows listed that I haven't heard about. As always, I'm open to write for other shows if needed. I cannot do any summaries for shows aired Sept. 6-Sept. 14 as I will be out of the country. Mon

LAST EDITED ON 08-27-04 AT 10:20 AM (EST)Links are still only going to LCS3 I would be willing to do a summary for TAR6 and/or Apprentice2. I would like to do them in the middle of the season if that is possible, but if you need me at other times, that is fine too.

Partidge Family
The Surreal Life
Benefactor
Billionaire
and the Contender oh and Gilligan if it decides to come out in the fall I may fill in from there.
Right now it looks like I will out of town and away from a tv from Nov.4-11. I would be interested in just one episode of each for now, but if some shows don't fill in, I will reevaluate my schedule

I'm interested in an episode of Dream Job. Not a lot of interest in anything else. (I'd prefer to do some smaller shows before going after TAR/Survivor type things).

LAST EDITED ON 08-27-04 AT 09:21 PM (EST)I will edit my post in the Survivor sign-up to include the other shows I am interested in. I am interested in Last Comic Standing, The Complex (can tag-team if you don't have much interested), The Apprentice, Survivor, and The Amazing Race. I also asked a question on the LCS sign-up thread that I prolly should have asked here: Are we gonna start summarizing The Real World? If so, I will am interested in summarizing that. I know there are 4-5 regulars on the forum that currently do the East Coast Thread thing and would be interested in tag-teaming with them to summarize. Also, I didn't make the cut for the current TAR and was hoping that I am still in the running for TAR 6. THANKS! ETA: Since it doesn't start until November, I will be interested in The Partner.

Hi SB,Someday I would like to work my way up to TAR or maybe Survivor, but I realize that's not feasible yet. I plan on watching both The Benefactor and Dream Job, however, and would love to throw my hat into the summary-writing ring for both of those shows. Official "Extent of Interest"
Benefactor: At least 1 ep with possible additional eps (looks like there's enough interest to preclude tag-teaming).
Dream Job: Would go so far as to tag-team on this one, especially if the Benefactor slots go to more seasoned veterans. Of course, I realize I am a lowly, groveling peon in the hierarchy of potential summary-writers..... so if you decide I am not yet ready, I will understand......<sob> Thanks,

Hi, I'd like to volunteer for summaries of Last Comic Standing, Next Great Champ, and The Contender. I've already asked for consideration in the separate Survivor and Apprentice summary sign-up threads, for the good it'll do me. Cheers,

30. "Update" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-02-04 AT 07:15 PM (EST)OK, I've tried to summarize the interest in the shows that didn't already have their own signup threads below. Based on the interest expressed to date it definitely looks like I need to start sign-up threads for The Benefactor and Dream Job 2. We also have Mon looking to tag-team on The Real World Philly, but volsfan is the only other person interested in summarizing an episode, so unless some other folks come forward it looks like Mon's only option might be to tag-team with her shadow (sorry Mon!  ) Beyond that, so far the interest in the other shows isn't strong enough to fill a whole run, although I can schedule writers for the first few episodes of The Contender, The Billionaire, and The Surreal Life 3 and see if some other interest emerges for later episodes after the shows premieres (which frequently happens, btw.)

>I'm going to do the premiere of Next Great Champ.
>Is that okay? Sorry shaw, I didn't get a chance to post it at the time, but Saturday afternoon a non-message board person who'd previously been doing summaries for another site told me he'd be interested in doing weekly summaries for the whole season of Next Great Champ, so given the general lack of message board folks that has expressed interest, I gave it to him. However, you're still welcome to post an unofficial summary if you want, but don't worry, between Benefactor, Contender, and Dream Job 2, I'm sure you'll end up with a couple of chances at summaries (assuming you're interested in writing for more than one show of course.) Sorry,
SB

LAST EDITED ON 09-07-04 AT 11:40 PM (EST)>Webby, what new show do you
>think will be hot?
>The Contender? Something else? Burnett and NBC are really hot about "Contender" and Burnett is charging NBC a fortune for it, so I have to think NBC is going to pull out all the stops to make this a hit, but I dunno, for some reason I'm thinking "Next Great Champ" is going to get off to a bad start versus the last few weeks of "Big Brother" and kinda cast a cloud over "Contender" in the process. I think "Wife Swap" will be hot, the critics love it compared to Fox's "Trading Spouses." Btw, for those asking, "Gilligan's Island" now has a premiere date, November 30 at 9PM. Also "Project Runway" (a series similar to CBS's Tommy Hilfiger-led "The Cut") will premiere 12/1 at 10PM, and E! has "Trophy Wife" (a "Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire"-like sleazefest) coming 12/12. Oh, and I'd forgotten about "Manhunt," Bravo's take on a male version of "Top Model" -- it premieres 10/12
