He used to value our opinions, but lately, he and CBS have been showing their distain.

I can't remember where I read it, but apparently after the funeral for her mom, the Survivor people flew Jenna back down to Panama and gave her a probably much needed vacation and some time to deal with things. I just lost a loved one last week, and I sure wish I was able to just go on vacation for a month or so to just come to terms with stuff, rather than jumping right back into the grind of work and classes. And regarding the 'time wars' between All-Stars and Apprentice, there is an article about that up at Snews. MB says that it was due to an unfortunate scheduling situation on the part of NBC. They had scheduled 2 super-sized editions of Friends for the last two weeks, leaving 18 minutes of air to fill between the end of that show, and the start of Apprentice at 9, so they just added some extra time to that show. Burnett claims that he was promised beforehand that NBC would never put Apprentice up against All-Stars, but it was apparently unavoidable what with the super-sized Friends and all.

I can believe that they would promise him that. They would promise him all sorts of things to get his programming on the air. He has a proven track record. However, EPMB should know better than to take someone at just a promise. He should have gotten that in writing, with a $5 million penalty, if it ever happened. Never trust TV people.

Hey, it's good press, and FREE. It provided a little extra "buzz" and makes EPMB more valuable!

It adds in a whole new aspect to consider when watching the show. We're lucky to have them both here. As for Chill, I think he also brought us a lot of information. Putting aside his F7, F4 and F2. What impressed me so much when reading his "Piece of ASS" was all of the fascinating information on the area. I could picture each of the camp sites in my mind, as well as what could be seen from each camp (i.e. the huge Colombian mansion). A lot of info we wouldn't have if it weren't for these 3 wonderful people!!!! We have our own little "team" of spoilers here, and they're all doing a great job!!!

Posts: 6694 03/22/04 01:20 PM MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Thanks Harold and Atherella! QE and I really enjoyed our trips. Only fans would understand how fun it was to visit the camps, walk the paths, draw water from the wells, and find pieces of painted wood embedded in the muddy road next to the art department's workshop. Survivor is scouting for S9 right now. They still haven't signed on the dotted line but Vanuatu, Fiji and a few other places are under consideration. Survivor warned the locals to watch out for 'spoilers' who hurt the ratings. It's always good to look at one's actions from another's perspective. If spoiling the location hurts the ratings, SMaps will stop doing it. If QE and I hurt the ratings by going to Panama, we'll stay away from Vanuatu/Fiji. And, if boot lists keep people from watching, then those making the lists could reconsider their own actions. .... btw, how are the ratings?

You don't predict boot lists, etc. YOu bring us information that true die hard fans would appreciate, but not enough to ruin the show. You add a totally new dynamic to our viewing experience (at least to mine) As for the ratings, this is what I've read about them. *Quote:* The ratings are high, but lower than other seasons and that's a problem for an All-Star. When Thailand gets higher numbers than All-Star-----come on I don't know much about how to find out ratings. So, take that quote for whatever you all want. It's from someone who is close to the show, and probably in a position to know. I'm actually looking for S9 and meeting a whole new group of castaways. While I liked the concept of seeing some of my favorites re-play the game, it doesn't seem to be working out all that well. I'm anxiously awaitiing 16 or more new castaway to "meet" and get to know and love or hate.

Why Wezzie, are you thinking of taking another vacation? *Quote:* .... btw, how are the ratings? Actually, the show still averages over 20 million viewers per episode, according to the last figures I saw reported at snewser's site. This thread should at the very least be joined with the original "live" thread in the Attic. The info on the thunderstorm turned out to be a great spoiler in its own right, in my mind at least.

I really can't imagine how knowing the location of an upcoming series of Survivor could possibly hurt the ratings. Boot lists may, if they were to become known by the general public. However, it seems to me that those of us involved with the online spoiling community keep watching regardless of perhaps how disappointed we become during the series due to accurate boot expectations. Yes, some of us may be disappointed, but our curiosity still causes us to sit in front of the TV, hoping perhaps the spoilers are wrong week after week. All of the speculation that the spoiler community likes to do seems to add suspense to the show. It gives the show life for the week in between episodes. I think having legit spoiler information leaked to the general public, who is not nearly as curious as those of us on these boards, could dampen their enthusiasm to watch the show.

I for one would not get nearly as much enjoyment out of Survivor if it weren't for the spoiling efforts of you and others. I think CBS just fed the locals a line of **** in order to get them to clam up. I can't believe that they think this site is bad for the ratings - that just doesn't make any sense. Where is the evidence that people tuned out after ChillOne's Amazon spoiler, for example?

Posts: 6694 03/22/04 01:59 PM MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I'm with you! Ratings were great for Amazon and PI and S9 should rock! CBS is a little cranky about the spoilers on TV and in the press. Keeping our discussions to the boards is ok, though. Being here on EZ is as fun as watching the show. Love you guys! You can use the hula dancer too, if you want, Aimless. I used to dance hula and Tahitian. Still have my skirts, goard, and bamboo clappers. How about you? Do you dance?

Posts: 459 03/22/04 02:03 PM Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I am sure CBS does fear the spoilers ruining the show for the general viewing audience. The betting spoiler for PI gave away the winner well in advance. Those who watch survivor and really like surprises, were no doubt unhappy to know in advance who was going to win, if they came upon the information in the media. I don't see how knowing locations or cast members would ruin the show for anyone. Survivor provides personal drama between contestants. For the vast majority of viewers, the boot order is a surprise. The spoiling community adds to the fun of the show for those of us inclined to like to know what is going to happen before it is actually shown in each episode. I think spoilers would be much less feared, if it could be certain online spoiler information never found its way into general media. Just wanted to add, I don't tell friends or family who watch survivor and want to be surprised any of the information I get off the boards that would spoil the show for them.
