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."

2. "Butt-kicking" |
>Spoilers from the host should be taken with a grain of
>salt lest we think "Lis kicks butt" in some more challenges. Just as a correction: Jeff Probst never said Lis kicked butt in the challenges. He said that, if you weren't paying attention, Lis would kick your butt IN THE GAME (thanks to rando calrissian of Voted Off! and owen93 for determining the real quote). Speaking of butt-kicking, notice that dangerkitty has been bragging about offering to kick some guy's butt in the dojo. Could she be the real Alicia equivalent in BlowsVivor? >Nice point though, perhaps they had a hell of a post
>show wrap up party  I seem to remember a similar argument being made to explain the Jerri-Alicia friendship ... which raises another possibility (though perhaps harder to reconcile with my current feelings about trends in BlowsVivor) -- GT and OFG both get booted right after merge and get to spend a lot of time together on the jury. I don't think you like that theory as much, do you, HawkEye?

3. "Jury make-up" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-23-01 AT 02:46 PM (EST)Darn, I thought GT and I had everyone fooled the way most of her posts are clearly nagging me about violating vote or spoiler protocol. She did support me on one food pick, but it seems jalepenos are loved by most everyone here, so that's of dubious value. All kidding aside, I did not even know GT's board name when Shakes posted his casting announcement, and I did not read one of her posts until she got involved with the sig pic creation.
Perhaps we were most brought together by Shakes bowing out of his game and our feeling it had too much going for it to let it die after one episode. Now I really feel like we are friends.
For everyone who said this game was divisive, I'd like to say-- not that you were wrong, because there are many diverse experiences here--but that it's also fostered some friendships and collaboration. I would add that I've gotten to know everyone better in a good way who's been enjoying the game,
whether in the cast, bashing, or writing (or all of the above). This might be the thread to put an idea out there that's gotten good response from the one or two who've heard it, Aya K:
what if we were to bend the Survivor rules and put all the booties on the jury except Skierdude? I omit Skier because 1)he's not around; and 2) that would make 13 and avoid a tie. Since everyone here knows everyone else and all originally comes from the BlowsVivor tribe anyway, the psychology behind the jury make-up in Survivor doesn't really apply. The biggest reason is simply inclusiveness: I'm sure Vamps and Itz and Rhino (and whoever the next three people are_ would like to have a say, as they are all players in the best sense and none of them have left the area to go hitchhiking through China that I'm aware. (Watch out, she's hijacking the host's thread. Potential suicide for her character or brilliant play for more face time?) Edited to add: all this talk of merge and jury made me forget the talk of voting that included the whole board, vote in chat, possibilities similar to voting on SSC. I'm a little concerned about making the vote that real--it's not as if these characters have had input into how they played the game, so it might turn into a popularity contest. I was thinking it terms of a vote strictly within the fiction of the game, by the characters, because who pays more attention to who does you wrong. For instance, would Vamps still vote for Superman despite his vote against her? Is there any way in hell Vamps would vote for Mon Cherie? Would Itz vote for Surv knowing what he did? Which ultimate strategy earns respect?
I'm thinking those are the kind of voting issues that could stay true to the group fiction and avoid hurting feelings. I would rather have no vote than one that makes people feel bad. It's not like there's a million dollars and Nike endorsements at stake here! Ideas?

4. "I, The Jury" |
I like the idea of a large jury, OFG. I'll have to start looking for a bigger soundstage for post-merge TCs. As you know, I don't like the idea of a real vote --- when the legend becomes fact, print the legend.

6. "RE: Friendships" |
Oh, Aya. . . how you amuse me!The fact that I may have encountered OFG in the woods--caught her skulking around, following the scent of my mahi-mahi the other night! mmmmmm. . . with just the right amount of red wine and lime juice, some mint and cinnamon. . . and some wonderful brown and wild rice on the side. . . but I digress. . . The fact that I may have encountered her a time or two in the woods--because of hunger or nosiness, it doesn't matter--does not mean that we are inseparable! Certainly, I find her taunts have a certain appeal in their own highbrow way--and I may even find that I like her a lot, come the merger--but for now we are sworn enemies. . . so whatever straws you're grasping at will have to remain nebulous. Besides, didn't you know that stoners can pick each other out of a crowd faster than gay men? And IceCat is no revelation, either--I have enjoyed his company before this game and look forward to it after. Besides--with that beautiful ponytail and saucy tail-wiggle he does--to say nothing of the fact that he's bought friends all over the place by designing winks for their sig pix--everyone on the boards is fawning over him! He's hot stuff! grrrrrroooOOOOOooowwwwl C'mon, AK--let's see some of your GOOD stuff! you know--whatever it was that gained you your Spoiler rep? Unsubstantiated radio ads and daydreams do NOT a spoiler make!

9. "No ass-kissing" |
The only thing I was afraid of on Shakesvivor was that everyone would feel they had to suck up to shakes to stay in the game. Sucking up to me is even more inappropriate, because I'm only going to write two episodes: the x.5 one (which I've already started, and which does NOT have a boot) and the last one. Believe me, there won't be any "brownie points" for good behavior coming up in BlowsVivor.

10. "RE: No ass-kissing" |
AW, we know that Ayatollah, but thank you for reassuring us.
I would hope we could be a bit more respectful if we were seriously sucking up...No, I was merely alerting George that your alter ego AyaK was flaunting his power a bit by teasing that he may be the de facto jury. At least that's how I read a line like, "I, the Jury."
(Reminds me of "I Robot" somehow. No such 3 laws in Hollywood) I hope you're keeping an eye on AyaK. Remember we all thought Survivorerist was a good kid, and look what happened! This media whore stuff appears to corrupt absolutely. *Note to self: OK to mock host behind back, but take moderator seriously to his face. OK to mock moderator behind his back, but suck up to host when on set. Do try to keep it straight.
