SurvivaBear 2634 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 03-31-04, 08:42 AM (EST) "Helen Glover fired for saying too much" I did not see this posted elsewhere. EPMB apparently takes his secrets very seriously. Loose Lips Sink "Survivor" Ship By Joal Ryan An ex-Survivor has been felled by a paper cut. Survivor: Thailand contestant Helen Glover lost her columnist gig with a Rhode Island newspaper this week after CBS warned the former jungle dweller that she was blabbing too much about behind-the-scenes life on the hit reality series. The Providence Journal reported that its powers-that-be opted to off Glover rather than have the network take a first pass at her articles. "What CBS wants is the right to edit the work of a person writing for the Journal. We find that arrangement unacceptable," executive editor Joel Rawson said in his newspaper Wednesday. Glover, who placed fourth on Thailand, began freelancing a column for the Journal on Jan. 31. It offered running commentary and predictions on the show's latest incarnation, Survivor: All-Stars, which premiered Feb. 1. Per the paper, Glover's March 11 submission prompted an e-mail from a CBS lawyer. Communicating directly with Glover, the legal eagle told the 48-year-old that she had violated her Survivor confidentiality agreement by describing post-game procedures for castoffs. "When you are voted off, you go to a base camp, of sorts, behind the scenes and far away from the game," Glover wrote in the paper. "... receive a meal, shower, room and a visit from the staff psychiatrist." Glover went on to note that the show's psychiatrist checks in with ex-players--some of whom leave the game angry or depressed, she said--even after they return to the real world, "as many people have trouble adjusting to the normal routine of life again." Glover responded to the CBS e-mail by submitting a column that was to run this past Wednesday to the network before her newspaper bosses got a look. CBS told the Journal it didn't order Glover to do so; Glover told the paper she sure wasn't acting on "a suggestion." The ex-player said it was never her intention to "ruin" the show via her column. "I love Survivor and the people who play the game," Glover said in the Journal. "...I tried to be so careful not to divulge anything that would be a secret." CBS and Survivor producers take their secrets seriously. In 2001, the network sued original Survivor cast member Stacey Stillman for $5 million, alleging she'd broken her confidentially agreement by filing a lawsuit claiming the game was rigged. Per the Journal, players are bound by signed agreements to hold their tongues for three years. Glover's keeps hers in check into 2005. While CBS doesn't want insider info spilled, it hasn't stopped insider takes from being shared. Columns by ex-Survivors have popped up everywhere including in the pages of the National Enquirer where Thailand champ Brian Heidik (news) pens one. I do not see what big secret she revealed.   Top

"RE: Helen Glover fired for saying too much" That story has been up on the Survivor News front page all week. I found the comment by the newspaper: "What CBS wants is the right to edit the work of a person writing for the Journal. We find that arrangement unacceptable," executive editor Joel Rawson said in his newspaper Wednesday. WTF? They find CBS's behaviour unacceptable, so they fire the writer? DOH. That'll teach 'em won't it?   Top

SurvivaBear 2634 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 03-31-04, 09:35 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Helen Glover fired for saying too much" What is the big secret? Is it that the cast sees a psychiatrist immediately after being booted? This "debrief" might explain some of the attitude changes (by Rudy and Sue, for example)   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-31-04, 02:00 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Helen Glover fired for saying too much" Is it that the cast sees a psychiatrist immediately after being booted? I thought we'd already been told this, maybe not using the word "psychiatrist", but that there was "counseling" or something like that. Anyway, I guess Christy can expect an email from CBS too: http://www.collegian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2004/03/30/406a66ba5f470 She kept in contact with the show's psychologist for four months and has since recovered from all injuries, both physical and emotional.   Top

"RE: Helen Glover fired for saying too much" Since All Star Survivor is a complete bore, CBS needs to provide help for the viewing public ... Between ALLSS and AI3 and Kerry and Bush the public needs immediate HELP .... Will the Book of Job be Oprah's next book club selection ????   Top

"RE: Helen Glover fired for saying too much" LAST EDITED ON 03-31-04 AT 05:12 PM (EST) Maybe they were afraid that she would end up revealing that she was really just one of an army of robots led by Brian. That the whole twist that season was man vs machine. Brian found out that by inserting his p**** into Helen's oral orifice that he could control the whole army of robots. UGH!!! I HATE HELEN GLOVER!!!!! Worst. player. EVER!! My hate for her was the whole reason I found this board, so I could find someplace to complain about her. I was too shy to post then and I have had this pent up rage ever since. Sorry, probably off topic, but my quest has now been fulfilled.   Top

AyaK 10426 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-31-04, 06:19 PM (EST) 6. "My story from yesterday" I looked at all of her columns ... nothing of spoiler value, but it's interesting nonetheless: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=2425   Top

dabo 26942 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-31-04, 10:35 PM (EST) 8. "RE: My story from yesterday" In fact, after reviewing all of Helen's columns for Survivor: All-Stars, we were unable to identify even one piece of information that wasn't widely known among online Survivor spoilers. Thus, if Survivor would be damaged by Helen's column, it has already been damaged. CBS seems to be on a rampage lately, it's really just ugly and pointless.   Top

"RE: My story from yesterday" LAST EDITED ON 04-01-04 AT 02:37 AM (EST) Here Here dabo! Jeez MB let these people use their quasi fame to make a buck or two. Believe it or not Markie, your not going to control everything and everyone at all times. The Lex website shutdown was what really chapped my thighs like Colby sitting by the fire on day four.   Top

"RE: My story from yesterday" i agree dabo and dreamerbeliever, is MB really delusional enough to think everything about his little survivor world is a huge secret? plus, some of these people need a little shot of redemption. he can paint people however he wants through the magic of editing. those phone calls from the Survivor Counselor just aren't enough ... oops ... that's a secret, too!
