Posts: 8905 (04/17/09 12:14 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Probst hates women. 2 of the 3 reward winners were guys. 3 of the 3 immunity finalists were guys. The exiled player was a guy. The main instigator of the strategy was a guy, who booted another guy, who lost trust because of his desire to save a different guy. Apart from Erinn's confessional, which was unnecessarily given way too much focus in the Probst Preview video, what was there to say about them this week? Anyone who expects Probst to somehow even-handed or boohoos when their favourite doesn't get mentioned after an UTR episode is ridiculous. It's one person's opinion and a much more entertaining and insightful one than Phil "wow, this was a tough leg" Keoghan and any of the other equally less candid hosts who aren't willing to be as forthright with their biases. None of the posters here given equal time to every contestant either.

Clearly Probst and the producers forgot that he's not the only player this season. And that not all players have penises. It's ridiculous. And I agree about Tyson being scripted and playing up to the cameras.

I think his post this week was hysterical and was meant to poke fun at Coach. I mean Coach is the biggest joke ever, we only hope that he has the guts to come to sucks so that we can tell him what we think. I was most intrigued by his final line... Which happens to be totally true, Coach and Tyson have cut off their nose to spit their face by voting out Brenden. They have totally underestimated JT/Stephen and Taj. Stupid, Stupid People!!!

Which happens to be totally true, Coach and Tyson have cut off their nose to spit their face by voting out Brenden. They have totally underestimated JT/Stephen and Taj. Stupid, Stupid People!!! That can be said of their WHOLE tribe! I mean, just look at the basic #s...they should have voted off someone from the old Japelipo (or however you spell it) this week (and probably next week too), then started stabbing each other in the back. Now their original tribe is down to 5 people and hates each other, with the other tribe having 3 people who can go back and forth between the 2 sides of your tribe. Plus Erinn has always been on the outs and now Sierra is too...that was a HORRIBLE move on Coach and Tyson's part (and would have been dumb for Brendan too). It probably cost them the game! Had they voted out JT this week, they then could have used Taj and Stephen to vote out Erinn (no harm, no foul, as she was always hated by her entire tribe), then vote out Stephen, and use Taj to turn on your own tribe. It is all a numbers game and it was WAY too early to make a move that risky...too many people left in the game. That being said, it sure is exciting to watch!!!

It was hysterical and I laughed out loud at all the absurdity that is Coach. Not taking him seriously is the ONLY way to take him. That is how I took Jeff's blog.

That would have been nice. I'd like some more insight into this completely hidden rivalry, especially if we're to assume these two girls team up with Jalapao and go against Coach, Tyson, and Debbie.

When an entertaining female player emerges (Cirie, Kathy, Jerri, etc.) I'm sure Jeff would be only too happy to talk about them. But why should he waste time talking about the boring ones. It's not his fault if the guys are playing a more entertaining game this season.

Coach, you may have defeated Brendan, but in my opinion you and the former Timbira tribe made a terrible decision tonight. Voting out Brendan made no sense at all. You should have taken out J.T. I think this is a little bit of hint that probst gives us, telling us that J.T. is going to blindside Coach in the end. and what about this I definitely think that Tyson should show up as a nemesis in the third episode of my new show, but he and Dragon Slayer eventually become friends. But what Coach doesn't know is that Tyson one day plans to slay him and steal the Dragon Slayer crown. Tyson helps JT to boot Coach? I take it none of these people say Danni's win. This is what happens when you don't completely take out the other tribe before turning on your original tribe.

CBS promotes Coach in the video clips and the other writer for EW.com is getting on the bandwagon with his article "Learning to Love Coach". I would be happy with anyone else winning althoough Tyson started dropping into the Coach zone last night. I don't think that Coach wins, or it wouldn't have been a mistake for Coach to keep JT according to Prosbt. Remember how Kenny keeping Kelly was seen as a mistake, even though it was highlighted as a bad move? I think Coach is a moron for taking out Timbra first, but it would have been the right decision had Coach actually won.

If they had writers they would have to get union pay and would have gone on the writers strike last year. well to tell you the truth. I've been in the business for a while and I learned this. Reality shows do have writers, though their function is not to write lines but to pick scenes they think are interesting and to make a story arc out of it. For example this season they tend to tell the story of "the exile alliance" as their pre-merge focus. I forget if they're in the WGA too or not, but I know they have their own union. Based on a survey of 300 Reality writers,: Only 3 percent of Reality writers are actually given the job title of "writer." 69 percent of Reality writers create storylines or outlines based on previously shot footage; 55 percent create "paper cuts," which consist of written outlines for a Reality TV episode; 54 percent write material for a host to read or for characters to read as voiceover. Other duties include devising the concept or structure for a show and creating scenarios, games and tasks for a program. Reality TV writers spend an average of 18 weeks working on a particular production. Last Edited By: hagiz1 04/17/09 11:50 PM. Edited 1 times.
