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

"S5 Summaries" |
S5 is coming up! Time to get ready.At this point, all I'm asking is for a preliminary indication of interest if you want to write a summary for S5. I've already heard from two people -- Naked, who wrote the summary for S3 E11, and drawde236, who will be writing an upcoming summary for BB3. If YOU are interested in writing an S5 summary, please respond to this post, and also be sure to note any limitations in time frame or availability that would need to be taken into account. We will NOT be assigning episodes at this time, though, since there are usually many more people who want to write the Survivor summaries than there are episodes. Plus, I haven't checked the schedule. I assume that, as usual, we'll need 14 writers: 13 episodes and a recap somewhere near the middle. When episodes actually ARE assigned, priority will be given to people who have previously written summaries for other shows on this site. Thus, if you want to write a Survivor summary but miss out this time ... well, there are lots of shows out there that COULD be summarized that people have done on their own: Jonnycumlately summarized "Bachelorettes in Alaska" ... SurvivinDawg summarized "Combat Missions" ... you get the drift. Thanks to all for your interest.

Because a season without a DK summary is like-- well--food without seasoning. And we need THAI food here!Everybody on this list is fabulous. I love your writing, one and all, and I hope you know that. It's just that DK hasn't been around lately, and I have a *thing* for some DK summary as part of the mix. *have emailed her to Get Over Here ASAP*

Oooooh, summaries, I loves me some summaries!Thanks for the heads up, OFG - it's true, I have been neglecting this place lately. I'll have to get back in the loop... You bet, I want to write a summary! Please do save me one! I can't do it the week of Sept. 23rd, is the 26th Thursday? And probably would prefer not to do it the week after, either, since I'll be behind - watching that week on tape. And if I may request, I'd rather NOT do the recap. Thanks for doing this organizing yet again, AyaK - or should I call you Squirrel? Or is it Belated Birthday Boy? Or maybe just "I'm so glad you are still here".

LAST EDITED ON 08-15-02 AT 09:26 PM (EST)What a great group of people ... all with previous (or upcoming) experience. Right now, nine people have signed up -- and we only can use 14. No promises, of course -- this is just to determine interest -- but I'd guess that all of your chances look pretty good. I'm guessing that the schedule looks like this: E1: Thursday, 9/19/02 E2: Thursday, 9/26/02 E3: Thursday, 10/3/02 E4: Thursday, 10/10/02 E5: Thursday, 10/17/02 E6: Thursday, 10/24/02 E7: Thursday, 10/31/02 E7.5? (the recap): Thursday, 11/7/02 E8: Thursday, 11/14/02 E9: Thursday, 11/21/02 E10: Thursday, 11/28/02 (the Thanksgiving turkey!) E11: Thursday, 12/5/02 E12: Thursday, 12/12/02 E13: Thursday, 12/19/02 (thus wrapping up pre-Christmas) Looks like EPM learned a lesson from the post-New Year's finish of S3, doesn't it? Because the Survivor reunions are not really episodes (unlike, say, Mole 2), we've never assigned them -- landruajm's offer to do another reunion "summary" sounds good to me. So ... any volunteers to go first? landruajm, are you interested in doing the first episode and then the reunion?

I'm so excited to see so many of my favorite summary-writers listed--to say nothing of my compatriots in the Basher field who have obviously been stockpiling hostility all summer--I'm almost wetting myself in anticipation!

Still, I'll be happy to stand by as a backup just in case. I'm really looking forward to these summaries, a lot of great talent on these boards.

Thanks! Edited to add: I notice that landru was asked and accepted ep1. If he really wants it, that's cool. If he's indifferent to which episode he takes, though, I really do prefer the first one.

You know, this is the part I dislike... we now have 22 willing and eager writers for 14 slots, in less than 1 day. Ouch! Sorry, Ra_8secs and LionChow, but, since you're the only ones of the group that haven't written a summary before, I'll have to leave you out -- even though I'm sure that your summaries would ROCK because you're both talented writers! That still leaves 20, which means 6 of you won't make it, and I'm REALLY apologetic about that. I never thought so many people would volunteer so fast!Here's the volunteer list: 1. landruajm (1st episode) 2. Naked 3. drawde236 4. diamond 5. survivorscott 6. Lisapooh 7. Outfrontgirl 8. dangerkitty 9. PagongRatEater 10. PepeLePew13 11. SherpaDave 12. Superman 13. Survivorerist 14. Bebo 15. SurvivinDawg 16. LadyT 17. DriveMyCar 18. Femme 19. FesterFan1 20. Teddy_Bear As many of you may have noticed, I did NOT post this as a first-come, first-served list this time. Instead, I decided to take applications up to a certain point and then cut off, and I'll figure out how to decide who gets the summaries ... WITH THE EXCEPTION of the first episode, which I already assigned to landruajm. Some of you may know that I try to rotate first writers and last writers, so that different people have the chance to kick the show off and wind it up. SherpaDave and SurvivinDawg, that's why I asked landruajm if he wanted the first episode: you two did the first episodes of S3 and S4 (P.S. LadyT did the first episode of S2, and the finale writers have been: S1, AyaK; S2, shakes; S3, dangerkitty; S4, Superman). Anyway, I guess I have to decide when the cutoff point for applications is. Since I already have to leave 6 of you out (I hate that, especially because you've all written other summaries for this board), the cutoff point will be ... NOW! See, that made all of your chances look better already! OK, I'll be back when I think of some tiebreaking method. Uh ... anybody want to reach into this bag of rocks?

I have no idea if thats even possible. Another suggestion, why don't a couple people team up to write one? It would be very interesting and I am sure a lot of fun for them.

I was hoping to get the first episode, as several ideas I already had will only work for the first episode summary, including some continuity with having done the first one for S4. Also, why did you so quickly bring up giving away the first episode? If I'd seen this thresd started (and I was looking in Bashers, where the summaries themselves are posted), I'd have been message #1 asking for the 1st episode. Also, you've said that first come, first served isn't a consideration, but you're already bringing up Ep 1 in Message 10 before many people (including me) had a chance to make input or a request for that episode. For these reasons also, I would ask you to reconsider. But, if you've irrevocably decided, then I'd rather you put me down for S6, E1 than any other S5 episode. Edited to add: In fact, considering some of the posts I've read in this thresd, it might be better just to go ahead and assign all S6 episodes now. Thanks. Edited further to add: Now I'm sounding like I'm begging and/or arguing, which I absolutely did not intend. But I really don't feel like I was given a fair shot at input for Ep. 1. So PLEASE reconsider. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin FranklinContradictions don't exist.

65. "RE: Hold up..." |
Apparently Dawg was out sick that day in Kindergarten when they covered the whole "taking turns" thing. *grin*The problem with what you just said, samiam, is that according to AyaK's own specs for selection, "taking turns" is absolutely NOT the way it's decided. In fact, AyaK clearly states that those with prior summaries are given priority. And as to the other, my points made in post #55 (which I hope AyaK is not just ignoring) have nothing to do with your comment. I only want to write one episode, the first one. I've stated the reasons why, and also the reasons why I don't think I was given fair input or a fair shot at it, so far. Of course, if you're just trying to tweak me or make me look bad, then that's another matter, and not one for this thresd.

(And Push:Nevada is included in that option). So summarize an episode of American Idol, or volunteer to do a Push:NV episode (see our new Push:NV forum), and you're on the guaranteed list (according to the post, shown below).

Top 10 Reasons to Let Me, Bebo, Write a Summary for Survivor10. Mini Ms. Bebo is still not house-trained...and will be let out of her cage. 9. To give Mr. Bebo a break from having to listen to Fantasy Football news. 8. What else will I do with all that nervous energy while waiting for The Mole 3? 7. It's easier to watch an hour of Survivor than to read 3 more Harry Potter books for the Story Competition. 6. I have lots more cute Betty Boop pics that I can post in my sig. 5. I have already shown a tendency to suck up and brownnose as needed. 4. To prevent me from starting narcisstic posts on OT with my own name in the subject line. Oops, I guess that should say more narcisstic posts... 3. TAR summaries write themselves, y'know, thanks to the Constructa-Episode Kit ($8.99 on eBay). 2. Um, have I agreed with the person who complimented AyaK's turban yet? And the #1 reason I should write a summary... 1. I'm evil. And if evil can't be stopped, it should at least be channeled into more productive channels. all evil is seductive and Ms. Bebo is most certaintly the most evil of them all !!!!! -katem

Boy oh boy, where was all this activity when we were assigning the 39 Big Brother summaries, LOL... All I can say AK is that you have my sympathies, ouch. And for everyone else, don't forget, as Johnnycumlately and Dawg have already done, there's no reason that you can't write a summary for *ANY* reality TV show out there regardless of whether or not we have a dedicated site for the show. Plus don't forget that in addition to TAR3 and S5, I'm sure that the molerons who've gone and adopted "Push, Nevada" as their own surrogate Mole show would appreciate some summaries for that program. -SB PS A (nearly) complete listing of all our summaries of the past two years can be seen by clicking on the below URL: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index&catid=1&topic=&allstories=1 (ya I know Survivor 1 and Temptation Island 1 aren't there, I'll add them at at some point -- apparently back then I wasn't publishing new items when a summary was posted) PPS Since I've already mentioned news and given the huge outbreak of volunteerism in this topic, this is probably as good a time as any to mention that there's plenty of room for new news reporters on the RealityTVWorld.com news website (to date, I think Johnny is the only person to actually submit a single news posting.)

63. "RE: Yikes...." |
Boy oh boy, where was all this activity when we were assigning the 39 Big Brother summaries, LOL... I know you're being humorous, but to take you a bit seriously for just a moment: Obviously Survivor is THE big reality show around here; therefore, the Suvivor summaries generate an interest that no other show will. My Combat Missions summaries got very little response. This is not a complaint, it is just a presentation of facts. People weren't watching that show. I've read very few summaries of any show I havent' watched, including the TARs. The TAR summaries I did read were very good, and this is not to put those summaries or their writers down in any way. I'm just saying that the interest was not there. The same can apply to the Big Brother summaries, and most of the other shows. Except for Survivor, the only summaries that seemed to generate real interest were Temptation Island (and Love Cruise, but those being written by a show's participant put them in a wee bit different category). So my point is that the strong interest is due to the show upon which these summaries will be foisted, and it's not (IMHO) going to spill over into other shows.

73. "Schedule update -- PLEASE READ!" |
OK, looks like I'm going to need to schedule BOTH S5 and S6 now, based on the number of requests we've received.I have already picked the S5 writers -- but before I publish it, I'll see if anyone else would prefer S6. It looks like, if you get an S5 episode, you won't get an S6 one, and vice versa. Dawg, as I posted earlier, I wanted to give others a chance to write the first episode. I knew landruajm was interested, because he had wanted to write the first TAR2 episode (which I ended up assigning to SherpaDave). Anyway, here's what I did: 1. I figured that I'd give the eligible S4 writers who were shut out the first crack at S5, plus landruajm and Survivorerist. Thus, these 6 people are all getting S5 episodes, unless they opt for S6 instead: landruajm, Survivorerist, Outfrontgirl, Naked, SherpaDave and Teddy_Bear. 2. For the rest of the position -- uh, I used a random number generator. Yeah, I could have picked based on whose writing I liked the most, or something like that, but that really didn't seem fair to me. I could tell the lucky people who they are, but I'll let people select between S5 and S6 first. Actually, I've already made out a schedule, but it's subject to change, as the next item shows, so I'm not going to put it out yet. 3. SherpaDave and SurvivinDawg, I see you both asked to write the first episode. I'll be happy to let one of you write the first episode of E6. SDave, since you're on the S5 list (if you want to be), I'll offer to let you pick which episode of S5 you want to write OTHER THAN the first one ... or you and Dawg can decide which of you gets to write the first episode of S6. 4. Anyone else who would like to write a first episode -- uh, sorry, but maybe next show. 5. Anyone interested in writing an S6 summary who hasn't signed up should sign up NOW!!!!! Please post on this thread. Yeah, I realize that we don't know the air dates for S6 yet, but the actual scheduling won't take place until we do. Oh, and if you CAN'T do S6, better tell me that also in this thread. So ... without telling you who was selected in the draw yet ... here's my list of people who have signed up so far: S5 selections prior to random pick: 1. landruajm 2. Survivorerist 3. Outfrontgirl 4. Naked 5. SherpaDave 6. Teddy_Bear S5/S6 pool for eight spots for S5 and five spots for S6: (leaving nine spots for S6) 1. drawde236 2. diamond 3. survivorscott 4. Lisapooh 5. dangerkitty 6. PagongRatEater 7. PepeLePew13 8. Superman 9. Bebo 10. SurvivinDawg 11. DriveMyCar 12. Femme 13. FesterFan1 S6 guaranteed slots: 1. LadyT 2. anotherkim 3. NightScribe 4. TechNoir 5. dabo S6 possible slots, if they meet prerequisite of a prior summary on RealityTVWorld.com: (which I hope they will ) 1. Ra_8secs 2. LionChow ...which doesn't leave a whole lot of S6 openings, and S5 hasn't even started yet! Yeah, I know that we could just have a core group of insiders write all the summaries, the way that shakes wrote S2. But then we wouldn't get to hear all of the other new voices out there ... and what's the fun in that? Anyway, here are the instructions for right now: 1. If you haven't already signed up but are interested in summarizing S6, please post in this thread before noon tomorrow. 2. If you are signed up in the S5/S6 "choice" list and either would like to delay until S6 or can't do S6, please post in this thread before noon tomorrow. 3. SurvivinDawg and SherpaDave, I need to know which of you will do E1 for S6. I apologize in advance for the fact that we probably won't get to see some of the great writers on this site do summaries of BOTH S5 and S6. It should be obvious that I hold many of you in high regard and that I'd enjoy reading 3 or 4 summaries per show from you. However, in my opinion, the most damaging thing that we could do on this site would be to keep new people from getting an opportunity to show off too. Some of them we'll like; some of them we won't -- but that's fine, because there's somebody who doesn't like everyone!

I'd like to thank my agent, who constantly hounded the benevolent dictator until I was gauranteed an S5 slot...I'd also like to thank my parents, who so diligently raised me to have such a cynical attitude that fits so well with these summaries. I'd like to thank my third grade teacher, who made me write the phrase "I will not make loud, obnoxious, farting noise in class" 10,532 time on the chalkboard. It has helped me so much in my writing skills. Finally, I'd like to that God and Mark Burnet. (MB just thinks he is God) for creating the LAMEST.SHOW.EVER.

LionChow, I'd be happy to schedule you for an S6 summary -- the only issue is that you need to write a summary of an episode for some other reality show first. It looks like the TAR3 schedule is pretty full, but there are lots of other shows out there ... (personally, I think we need summaries of Push, Nevada ... The Bachelorette ... The Osbournes 2 (ooh, do I hate Ozzie and Sharon!) ... etc.; you could do one episode of any of them ).

3. SurvivinDawg and SherpaDave, I need to know which of you will do E1 for S6.Aya, I didn't know of your policy of rotating the E1 writers so that everyone gets a shot at it. I think that's an excellent policy and I wouldn't want to stand in the way of any of the other talented writers we have here getting a crack at it. I also don't think you should bend the policy just because two of us were unaware of it when we posted. In my less than humble opinion, the boards would be best served by assigning ep1 of S6 to someone other than Dawg and me, someone who hasn't had a chance to do one yet. Having done ep1's for both Survivor and TAR now, I can say that they present a different opportunity than the other episodes do and I like your policy of spreading the wealth. In summary? Put me down for whatever episode you need. And please give someone who hasn't had the chance to do an ep1 of Survivor the chance for S6. Sorry, Dawg. That's just the way I see it. Nothing against you personally. Just seems fairest. Touch me, baby, tainted love. Criminals From the Neck Up

Thank you AyaK for putting up with us and trying to be fair at the same time. I will be happy to do a S6 episode and would prefer anything but the recrap. I'm certain you won't have any trouble filling that slot.TechNoir (My probably last effort to be humble)

Ayak, if there are any summaries left in S6, I would love to be included. I have signed on to do a summary for Push, Nevada to meet the requirements. Come on in, the water's fine!

LAST EDITED ON 08-19-02 AT 05:50 PM (EST)>I don't watch much of the other shows, so what do >I need to do to get qualified??? Our rule is that your FIRST summary for the site can't be Survivor. Thus, you have to summarize another show first. (By the way, it looks like we're going to have to spread that rule to The Amazing Race as well.) So ... what other shows are available? Well, that's what I was addressing in LionChow's post above. Most of the people in this thread have either previously summarized Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Mole 2, or Big Brother 3 -- but those shows are either complete or fully scheduled. (Surprisingly, there aren't any of the summarizers from Temptation Island 2 here, although Canada Girl, who did two episodes of that show, has signed up for a The Amazing Race 3 summary.) We're going to schedule summaries for Push, Nevada this week. This show could be awful enough (or, perhaps, clever enough) that the summaries will be great fun, and it might provide a good opportunity for new people to join the "summary team" in time for S6. If enough people are interested, we'll schedule summaries for The Bachelorette -- look at the thread on The Bachelor in the "Other Shows Forum" for links to Jill Jensen's hilarious summaries of that show (on another site). Or ... you can always summarize some episodic reality show on your own! SurvivinDawg did an entire series of summaries of Combat Missions last year, and I (at least) loved them. Jonnycumlately did a series of summaries of Bachelorettes in Alaska, and I liked them so much that I summarized the last episode in his place when he was AWOL. Yeah, sometimes not many people read these summaries (as Dawg notes above), but they can really be fun to write ... and read. Note that we started doing summaries of The Amazing Race because one poster -- Pendragon -- decided that he wanted to write a couple of them ... and then we kept it alive after he stopped thanks to the efforts of many different posters, so you never know what your actions might trigger. Edited because I left out s_man's second question: >PS - how, oh how, can I make this guy smaller? There are several people here who can resize an oversize image. Normally IceCat would be happy to do it for you, but he's on vacation. But I hope one of the others will reply...

LAST EDITED ON 08-19-02 AT 10:13 PM (EST)Yeah, sometimes not many people read these summaries (as Dawg notes above), Just want to reiterate that in that above note, I was not trying to denigrate anyone's summary in any way. I was just contrasting the immense popularity of Survivor (the show) on this board, and apparently TAR, to other shows of (relatively) less interest.

LAST EDITED ON 08-19-02 AT 11:33 PM (EST)Thank you AyaK, for remembering me signing up from last season, and guaranteeing me a summary this one. >I was just contrasting the immense popularity of Survivor (the show) on this board, and apparently TAR, to other shows of (relatively) less interest.< Have you checked out the FindtheMole Board? It--the Show--has generated so much interest, that if ABC doesn't mess it up next season, they're will likely be more forums. Btw, I agree with SherpaDave's idea of rotating the summaries; it's a lot more interesting, and fun that way. It is not necessary to accept everything as true, one must only accept it as necessary. |=is an Avid MOLE (& Bribs) Fan Light a Virtual Candle~~~~~~~~~~~ Eleanor Roosevelt: No one can make YOU feel inferior without YOUR consent!

(By the way, >it looks like we're going >to have to spread that >rule to The Amazing Race >as well.) >Sorry AK but I don't think this is a very good way of assigning summary writers. I'm currently staying in Singapore and the only two reality shows we get on simulcast here are Survivor and TAR (we get other reality shows but they are shown months later). With the aforementioned rule of excluding writers with no Survivor or TAR summary writing experience, there's no way that I can ever do a summary writeup unless I move back to the States (ain't gonna happen anytime soon). I have no intention of writing a summary writeup at this point in time but I don't know if I want to write one in the future or if there'll be any future posters who would want to but couldn't because of his/her circumstances. I don't think that would be fair. Just voicing out my opinion now before this rule becomes a permanent one. Kathy O'Brien... The Sole Survivor! (I'd rather be delusional)

T, I want to read your S6 episode summary. You're definitely writing one!Seriously, don't worry, this will all be fine ... and we're going to get lots of great summaries in both S5 and S6. You weren't part of the problem; you were part of the solution. Is it a problem that we're scheduling S6 so far in advance -- or is it, rather, a recognition that we have LOTS of talented writers on this site, including you? I think of it as the latter. (Yeah, there are always a couple of people who want to push the envelope, but that's life.) Tune in tomorrow afternoon for the preliminary schedules for each show. And I hope you don't lose it before then!

to get my petition in for a slot in Survivor 7, if skipping 6 will make me eligible, that is... Umm, AyaK, you WILL help us with the S7 schedule, won't you? We're obviously in need of your benign and fair handing out of the goodies... btw, does anyone know where they're filming S6? *just kidding about signing up for S7... I wanted to show Trish I could start just as much "trouble" as she can...* Seriously, there some very funny posts to this thread and look, it's going on 100 already...

But the recap episode was pointed out as a possibility. That's the one episode I never watch, so please don't consider me for that one.Jeez. So many requests.

111. "RE: Hey Ayak" |
Help is on the way. After seeing all the responses you got yesterday about writing summaries, my little brain began to imagine a program to help you in your process. I am thinking something along the lines of an on-line contestant/summary writer entry form. Then each entrant can submit a sample of their writing and may be a video as well. Then you could bring each entrant in for an interview. We then place a score on each summary writer for each phase and then the computer will spit out the writers selected for each episode.I have done some preliminary cost analysis of this project. I figure a team of 5 developers can whip this out in about 2000 hours(for those of you not in the field that means it will be done somewhere around Christmas 2010, and a cost of approximately $1.5 billion). You just say the word and we will get started on it. P.S. You did a great job figuring that all out.....I am sure we are going to have some very funny summaries.Thanks for all the hard work!

Just because this thread has become so long and cumbersome, I'm going to start a new thread with the actual S5 and S6 schedules. I just cleared up one scheduling question and have a couple more to resolve, so I'll post the tentative schedule this evening. Look for it then!
