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."

"Summary writer sign-up thread for NBC's The Apprentice 3" |
This thread is the episode summary writer sign-up thread for NBC's The Apprentice 3, which premieres Thursday, January 20 and will be consist of fifteen (?) episodes. To sign up, please post your interest in this thread, as well as any applicable date restrictions that you may have. Writer selection will be arbitrary, sorry. Please note however, that we are also running open sign-up threads for several other shows, so if you are planning to reply to more than one of the above mentioned open sign-up threads, it would be helpful if you could note the other shows in your reply, so that we can try and ensure any proposed schedule doesn't schedule you for back-to-back summaries, commit you to more summaries than you were expecting, etc. As a reminder, while all our summary writing is on a volunteer basis, etc. reliablity, timeliness (or at least status communication) is important, and that 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. Any questions, please let me know. Thanks,
SB

It's been awhile since I've done a summary for a Tier 1 show (I've got an LCS and Rebel Billionaire, as well as the original Mole), but I would definitely be interested in doing a summary that someone actually reads - a novel change.  Spring Break week (first week of March) would be the only restriction for me and I would prefer not to do the very first summary - anything else should work. Just lemme know.

Count me in. Early in the month is better for me since we get really busy at work at the end of the month. I'm doing one for My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss on 1/30 (was supposed to be 1/2 but got delayed) and will be signing up for American Idol. Other than that, I'm pretty flexible.

Don't know if the crapfest will last that long, but I'm not available May 18-23. And as usual, I'm tossing my my name in the hat for Survivor and Amazing Race. Other than that, I'll probably want to do the finale of Forever Eden.

24. "Proposed schedule" |
Sorry for the delay folks, below is the proposed Apprentice 3 summary schedule. I've tried to take everyone's requests into account, but please respond below confirming whether the below assignment does or does not work for you.Unfortunately since we had more volunteers than available episodes, we had to go to the previous writer and random draw phase, resulting in ohmyheck, becstar2005, and sorgee ending up without summaries, although if there is an additional episode (I'm assuming 15 episodes since that's how many last season's 18 contestant edition featured, not counting its Wednesday night recap) then sorgee gets first dibs. Once again, thanks to everyone, it should be a great season. 01/20/05 - Episode 01 - Bucky Katt
01/27/05 - Episode 02 - TeamJoisey
02/03/05 - Episode 03 - aliciabbrown

I'm not sure it's a good idea to have TJ and I doing summaries that close together. You know what happens when we work them one-two: two-four may not be enough distance... ;>

42. "Reply" |
Here's what I'd like to do:1) No recap summary.
2) Keep everyone else on their assigned dates.
3) Move KObrien_fan to the end of the series. And here's why: I'll bet that Burnett had sold a specific amount of product placements, probably tied to company availability. Even though one player quit, he still may have a product placement to get in. Thus, he needs at least one more episode than we anticipated when we drew up the summary schedule. Is this OK with everyone?

...I'm pretty certain that there will be two more episodes than I scheduled writers for. If there aren't, Canadian TV has BIG scheduling problems!

...now we know that the episode May 12 is the first hour of what would have been the finale with 2 people, and the episode May 19 is the second hour and the pick. Any takers for summaries?

61. "RE: Reminder" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-04-05 AT 08:55 PM (EST)AyaK: I'm willing to take next week's episode (May 12th), since I don't have work until the next week which would give me plenty of time to work up something decent. Although, is that the finale? If so, I can understand wanting someone more experienced, since I only have a couple summaries under my belt (and on one of them, Pepe did half the work). As I said, if you need someone, I can do that night with my free time. Edit: It's not the finale, even better. I can't really take the 19th and be timely about it with school during the day and work during the night (or work during the day on weekends).  A generous Icecat donation

(if you need me to i might even be willing to write 2 summaries.)
Depriving the public of my talent is letting the terrorists win.
Thank you for giving me honor in hat form.
