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 2" |
This thread is the episode summary writer sign-up thread for NBC's The Apprentice 2, which premieres Thursday, September 9 at 9PM ET/PT and will be consist of fifteen (?) episodes. (Yes, after watching AK and Bebo have all the summary fun during last spring's initial season, other writers now get their chance at this show!)  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

Sign me up too. Willing to tag team or whatever...but I don't think that will be an issue this time around. Also signed up for Survivor. Willing to do both. I am still MB's #####...despite the FOX fiasco which shall not be named.

I would love to summarize an episode for Apprentice 2. I have also asked to do a summary of Survivor. I don't care which episode I write. 
Have a nice day!

23. "Proposed Apprentice 2 summary schedule" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-04-04 AT 02:13 PM (EST)Below's the proposed schedule that AK and I have put together. We've checked it for TAR5 summary conflicts, but since that's the only other show which we've currently assigned writers to, there wasn't a need to cross-check it for other fall show summary assignment conflicts (we'll be posting proposed schedules for several of the other upcoming shows this weekend or early next week, thanks for your patience.) Please reply below confirming your assigned episode works for you. We've included a tentative broadcast date next to each episode, but please be aware, as with all shows, broadcast dates are subject to change -- particularly the ones on or near the Thansgiving and Christmas holidays. We also don't know if/when NBC will air the recap episode, but just to be clear, whenever it airs, it remains the episode that the writer who was assigned to that episode is responsible for -- we don't push the whole schedule a week. We're assuming a 16-episode run and have drafted a schedule accordingly. Unfortunately since there were 17 volunteers that means that one person was left out -- emdyi. I'm sorry that you got the short straw but if it turns out there's a 17th episode, you'll have first dibs on it (assuming of course that you're still interested.) Any other questions, please let me know. Thanks,
SB

The random draw only decided who got left out (sorry, emdyi). The actual schedule was "non-random."

Excellent yes! I will take episode 12. However, I'm pretty sure it won't be shown on Thanksgiving... I'm sure we'll update when necessary.

Umm, I'm down with wherever you put me. Should I read those "???"s as "we're not sure if the show will run that long", or "there will be 16 episodes, but we're not sure when ep16 will be"? If it's later than the 23rd, I **may** have a conflict, as I **may** be going out of town the week between Christmas and New Year's. Plans are not firm, but being looked into...seriously. I don't have any other Fall conflicts.I'd love to do the finale, though. Although last season, didn't they split it into 2 episodes? Anyway, let me know. I live to serve.  Fester

>read those "???"s as "we're not sure if the show
>will run that long", or "there will be 16 episodes,
>but we're not sure when ep16 will be"? The ???'s mean that, in the case of the Thanksgiving episode, November Sweeps end the day before so we're theorizing NBC might air that week's schedule the Wednesday before Thansgiving rather than Thursday night. In the case of Christmas, we're thinking there's probably an episode sometime that week, and it will probably be broadcast by the 23rd at the latest, but given the rumors that they are considering making the finale into a 3-hour Survivor-style thing, they might air it sometime earlier in during the week of the 23rd. >If it's later than the 23rd, I **may** have a conflict,
>as I **may** be going out of town the week
>between Christmas and New Year's. Plans are not firm,
>but being looked into...seriously. I don't have any other
>Fall conflicts. OK, noted... although as I mentioned above, since the 23rd is the last available broadcast evening before Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I'm thinking the chances that the finale doesn't air by 12/23 at the latest are somewhere between slim and none. >I'd love to do the finale, though. Although last season,
>didn't they split it into 2 episodes? The penultimate episode started with 4 folks, and Nick and Amy were eliminated partway through... with Kwame and Bill starting their tasks for the reminder of the episode. But given the increase to 18 contestants and the number of weeks between next week's premiere and the holidays, we're thinking that's not likely to happen this year (which also fits well with the rumors that the finale is going to be adopting a Survivor-like 3-hour format.)

The past two summaries were truly wretched. I hope for better ones with some insightful comments instead of a transcript that basically replaces every woman's name with "Jennifer".

Heh, you guys are cool. I don't know what I was thinking when I said "truly wretched". What does that phrase mean anyway? It's about as meaningless as all of Andy's boardroom comments... "leader can never be surprised... running the team in ad hoc fashion... no substitute for hard work..."
