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."

Yes, I refer, of course, to this season's version of the "Let's pile a bunch of crap on a team behind us and not give them a chance to catch up! It's a lot cheaper than the more egalitarian Fast Forward, and it makes for crappy TV! YAY!" Or, to you and me, the U-Turn.Granted, the good news is that the Yield is gone. I guess the hourglass was just straining TAR's budget and they had to sell it for beer money or something. But they replaced it with...what? All right, all right, I'll tell you the real reason I'm upset. It's like this - those of you who stuck with the Survivor board this past summer know that I am a semi-accomplished fan fiction writer. I also revealed that my next project was a TAR season scheduled to be posted this coming summer. I've already mapped out the entire course and cast all my teams and am working on the pre-show. And damned if I didn't have a U-Turn twist in my story - only different. They thought of it as a way to cut the Yield. My idea for the U-Turn? Infinitely better - I used it as a penalty for a team coming in last on a non-elim leg. For the nitpickers, I am well aware that someone else suggested the concept of a U-Turn (even using the name) in a "suggestions for TAR12" thread over in the Fanatics section here. That suggestion wasn't applied to anything. This idea was applied stupidly. My idea was applied less stupidly. Thanks a lot, Bruckheimer. Now I have to revise my entire route.
