I havent watched any of Apprentice this season. You do know that Carolyn was fired, don't you? She had become more interested in promoting herself than doing her job for Trump. And since this one is in LA, it makes sense that George isn't there.
Holy smokes. No wonder you didn't think Jennifer Love Hewitt was a hottie the other day!
Let it be known, I DIDN'T SAY THAT! I may have thunk it, but I didn't say it!
And BTW, Alex didn't finish second. (In fact, there was never an Alex in the final four.)
I think your confusing him with Matthew from Survivor: Amazon, who lost to Jenna.
I think they typically do a fall and spring season - so they can catch both November and February sweeps. There will probabaly be a longer break again after Fiji.
Only watched last season's finale. Saw Yul beat out Ozzy. After the show, I looked on the internet to read bios about them. Yul was what I expected. But I was pretty shocked to read that Ozzy was in a hardcore porn movie. Since you're a regular viewer, did that information come out on the show itself? Were his castmates aware that he was in a porn movie?
Why did she back out?
I heard Jim Rome's take on "Reality TV" during his best of program at the end of the year. Rome gave a pretty fair assessment IMO. He stated it is neither reality (it's all scripted) nor entertaining (his opinion that I share).
I laughed when Rome described Reality TV losers in trendy Hollywood restaurants: "Let's get this straight, they're losers and they are acting as if they were A-list movers and shakers--complete with the ego and entourage. Again, they're losers in a totally scripted game show, acting like A-list."
To answer her, I'll post a portion of an interview that an online blogger - Derrik J. Lang – Who’s screen name is “The Slug” held with Jeff Probst:
The Slug: Tell us about the person who quit. There wasn't an alternate?
Jeff Probst: We brought alternates in the past. We had an alternate in "Cook Islands." Sundra was an alternate, and Sundra made it to the final four. But we only bring an alternate if we're worried about somebody. We weren't worried about anybody. We thought we had a solid group of people.
One woman, bless her heart, she just got overwhelmed and started panicking. We told her about how the show works and how you'll be a little isolated. It was just too much for her. Our psychologist talked to her. Our medical doctor talked to her. We went out and talked to her. There was just no way you could try to encourage her to stay on the show. She was not comfortable — not even close to comfortable. And the game hadn't started. So we said, "All right. You're out."
The Slug: Oh my. When did this happen? During training?
Jeff Probst: It was the night before. We did give them a little course on what's going to go on out there. You know, what berries to pick and what snakes to watch out for. She was OK during that period. As a group, they can feel the game's about to begin. They're secluded. And they can sense a shift in energy. She could feel the game was about to begin. All the producers go out and explain the game. She just panicked. So we were stuck with 19. It required one shift. We were orignally going to have two tribes of 10. We won't be able to do that now. So we came up with an alternate idea of what to do.
Thanks, it will be interesting to see what there alternate plan is. I wonder if someone will start off on the island alone?
It wasn't a hardcore porn movie that I know of. He did a dating show for the Playboy channel and he got very lucky on that date.
And no, that never came out on the show.
I bet the alternate plan will be to go in as one tribe and immediately vote off a survivor as soon as they hit the beach. Then divide into two tribes.
Oh, I bet your right....makes sense.
I am -- I don't know WHY I keep calling him Alex. It was wierd, too, because just about EVERY spoiler site (Sucks, TWoP, etc.) had Matthew as the winner. I find Jenna Morasco to be as abhorrant a winner as I found Flo in TAR3.
I think they alluded to it in the Reunion show a little, but I don't have any recollection of it being mentioned during the actual Survivor season. Burnett has to wonder why his vetting process isn't as good as it should be - let's see -- Brian Heidik, soft porn star, Thailand and now Ozzy the Dolphin, soft porn star, Cook Islands
No, not softcore. Hardcore.
To tell you the truth, I'm getting a little annoyed with "Just Peachy." I thought his whole "outing" of Yul returning the hat to Jonathan (when Yul clearly did it anonymously BEFORE the jury showed up) was trying to throw the game Ozzy's way. Jonathan may have been a pain at times but I did enjoy the needling he gave Probst from time to time.
JP as a contentant? Poetic justice....
How quickly they forget, Shane Powers from Survivor - Exile Island, soft porn star. The movie he was in was rated NC-17 and was about as soft core as you could get without an "X" rating.
To be honest, I don't think the Burnett vetting process gives a rip about their past "endeavors".
Of course, I, as a delicate Southern flower, would not know of such things....
(such description does not apply to my linguistic behavior during Saints games when Reggie Bush drops the ball...)
You know, cuz, you may be right. Because I don't know of any other reality show that has as much dirt surface regarding its contestants as Survivor does. Is there a black sheep in the Amazing Race family, does anyone know? I figure American Idol will always have a few "what the hells?" in the tryouts because they're open.
And speaking of AI -- okay...did that Dutch-Boy bleach blonde run "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was" by any of her friends before her humiliation on national TV?
