Tea Party darling Christine O'Donnell lands book deal and reality show offers after LOSINGSenate rac

The Daily Mail ^ | 6 November 2010

[Justaham]

She may have lost the Delaware Senate race but Christine 'I am not a witch' O'Donnell has no plans to leave the public eye.

Appearing on Bill O'Reilly's Fox News show Friday night O'Donnell talked about her many offers. She confirmed she plans to write a book and said she's received multiple television offers. 'We have a lot of opportunities,' she told O'Reilly. 'We're meeting with different publishers today so definitely a book deal.'

She's also contemplating a possible television show, saying she had been offered a commentary show as well as reality show offers. But unlike Sarah Palin, who has 'Sarah Palin's Alaska', O'Donnell said she won't be doing a reality show.

'I'm not that interested in [it], no 'Dancing with the Stars.'

“Common language is that this is an eight part documentary on Alaska hosted by it’s former Governor,”

No. Type in “Sarah Palin reality show” in google (or any other major search engine) and see just how common that is.

“yet you refuse to use the common language and want to use the words that the left has been using to denigrate her and her show, why are you so insistent on using their language?”

I’m not. I’m using the English language. The English language does not belong to the left. Again, type it in at google and see what happens. You could of course tell me how leftwing google is and that it is all a plot to denigrate Palin, but that would just be silly.

[vladimir998]

Your definition is problematic. There are plenty of reality shows with people who are not “ordinary people”.

If you have a problem with the show, don’t watch it. If you have a problem with what I’ve called it, then don’t read my posts.

And Jim Fowler STILL did all the dirty work while Marlon sat in the air conditioned truck.

DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS ACQUIRES “SARAH PALIN’S ALASKA”

– 8 Hour Documentary Series to Premiere on TLC –

Silver Spring, Md. – Discovery Communications has acquired the global rights to Sarah Palin’s Alaska (wt), a new eight-part documentary series about the remarkable Governor Palin and her home state of Alaska. Slated to premiere on TLC, the series will be executive produced by Emmy-award winner Mark Burnett of Survivor and Apprentice fame.

“Our family enjoys Discovery’s networks,” said Governor Sarah Palin. “I look forward to working with Mark to bring the wonder and majesty of Alaska to all Americans.”

“Discovery Communications is so excited to help Sarah Palin tell the story of Alaska, and to have a great documentary filmmaker in Mark Burnett helping to reveal Alaska’s powerful beauty as it has never been filmed, and as told by one of the state’s proudest daughters,” said Peter Liguori, Chief Operating Officer, Discovery Communications.

“TLC is grounded in great storytelling, strong characters, and passionate audiences drawn to extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. We are confident Sarah Palin’s Alaska will be another compelling television event,” said Eileen O’Neill, president and general manager, TLC.

The series reunites the company with Mark Burnett Productions, which co-produced Eco-Challenge, the precursor to Survivor, for Discovery Channel from 1996-1999.

“With a dynamic personality that has captivated millions, I can’t think of anyone more compelling than Sarah Palin to tell the story of Alaska,” said Mark Burnett. “I’m thrilled to reunite with Discovery on this project, which brings together one of the most fascinating figures of our time with one of the most wondrous places on earth.”

And it’s still a reality show.

Yeah I having been going back to see if you have anything other than negatives about Palin, and so far I notice that the this “reality TV” thing is one of your favorites, and that countless posters can’t get you to quit using the language of the left, you have already seen a great number of conservatives try to educate you on it over the months, but you have your own agenda.

TCA: ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ Gets Premiere Date on TLC
Documentary series to debut Nov. 14 at 9 p.m.
By Stephanie Robbins — Broadcasting & Cable, 8/6/2010 1:58:20 PM
Sarah Palin’s Alaska will premiere Nov. 14 at 9 p.m. on TLC, Eileen O’Neill, President and General Manager of TLC said Friday at the TCA press tour.

“The early selects are looking great,” O’Neill said. “It’s become clear it takes a special individual to thrive in Alaska.”

It was reported last month that Kate Gosselin, star of fellow TLC program Kate Plus 8, and her brood will meet up with Palin when she takes her eight children camping in Alaska for an upcoming episode of her show.

The docu-series is being executive produced by Mark Burnett of Survivor and Apprentice fame. It marks the first time Burnett’s Mark Burnett Productions has worked with Discovery since Eco-Challenge, which was his first major reality show, and the precursor to Survivor. Eco-Challenge ran on Discovery Channel from 1996-1999.

The REALITY is that you don't want to offer her any support. Instead, you appear to be intent on destructing her image in any way you can find. Are you a closet homo or just another phony liberal posing as a conservative on FR?

[WVKayaker]

You're close. The Palin's ARE REAL! Your reality is a distorted effort to diminish their stature in our community.

This is our community, FRiend. Just ask Jim Thompson.

[Dr. Sivana]

Your definition is problematic.

It's not my definition, but Wikipedia's. You are welcome to come up with an alternate.

I agree that some of these shows have "celebrities" on them. Usually "fish out of water" things like "The Osbournes" or "Help I'm a [D-List] Celebrity."

The lack of a contest aspect to the program is the determining factor.

In any event, I will read and comment on your posts if I think you are doing a bad job of using the language.

The show is not unscripted, its subject is Alaska, and neither the Palin's or a player at home is in any kind of contest. There is no 800 number to call. No one gets eliminated.

Even Dancing with the Stars is not really a reality show, unless you want to say that The Gong Show and Arthur Godfrey was a reality show. You could argue that "This Is Your Life", "Candid Camera" and "Truth or Consequences" were at times precursors of the modern reality show. "Sarah Palin's Alaska" is none of those.

[vladimir998]

You acting like quite the drama queen. Maybe you should have your own show. You wrote: "Yeah I having been going back to see if you have anything other than negatives about Palin," I have never said ANYTHING negative about Palin EVER, ANYWHERE at ANYTIME. Ever. Period. I realize that you might be too dim of a bulb to realize this, but calling her reality show a reality show in no way says anything negative about Palin. "and so far I notice that the this “reality TV” thing is one of your favorites," Do you normally lie? I don't think I ever once referred to her reality tv show until today on this one and only thread. Your comment suggest that I bash Palin all the time and that my latest bash is against her reality show. The reality is that I have NEVER, EVER, ANYWHERE, AT ANYTIME OR IN ANYPLACE said anything negative about Sarah Palin. I also never commented on her reality show until a few hours ago. You seem to have a problem with reality as it actually exists. "and that countless posters can’t get you to quit using the language of the left," Several - not countless - can't get me to stop using common English. You too will fail to stop me from using common English. "you have already seen a great number of conservatives try to educate you on it over the months, but you have your own agenda." Over the months? What are you talking about? Several months ago I made the following comments at Youtube about Sarah Palin: Palin is hated by feminists because they will never be as successful as she has been while still looking that good after having several children. What feminist was on a major presidential ticket after being a very popular governor in the last 20 years? None. What feminist looks as good as Palin? Very, very few. What feminist has had several children, a handsome husband and a clearly happy family? Almost none. Palin has all the things feminists are too sterile to ever possess. And: Dumbass, the movie is 20 years old. It is the future NOW. Get it? Sarah Palin has shown herself to be downright brilliant compared to the half-Kenyan job killer we have running the show right now. Palin is reviled by mean people with bloated egos. That was proven by Frank Luntz within the last few days. The "traitors" are the ones who voted for a socialist who is now shredding our economy, siding with terrorists and destroying our constitution. And: That has to be one of the most moronic comments I've ever heard. Sarah Palin works. Why would she keep other women from working? Did that even dawn on you? Apparently not. I cannot get over how moronic liberals like you really are. And in a different video thread at Youtube: Sarah Palin, who has been treated like crap by elitist scumbags of this country, gets up there and gives a positive speech. Obama, who has the world at his feet, on the other hand, hates this country and hates soldiers and couldn't give a positive, pro-American speech to save his life. Obama SUCKS! He's a disgrace to this country that gave him EVERYTHING. So, I have defended Palin as vociferously as anyone else when it is needed. I, however, never stop being honest. It is a reality show. Even you posted this: "The docu-series is being executive produced by Mark Burnett of Survivor and Apprentice fame." Stop lying by claiming I have ever said anything negative about Sarah Palin.

Do you normally lie? I don't think I ever once referred to her reality tv show until today on this one and only thread.

There is no need to resort to the personal attacks that you made in your post, it seems that you post very little on politics, and seemed mostly uninterested in Palin until this marathon today, it seems that you might finally be stepping out on the openly anti-Palin path by your insistence on using the description that her liberal media enemies have used to describe her Alaskan documentary series, this "reality TV" usage against Palin seems to appeal to you. You could just as easily use the more correct term documentary, but you absolutely refuse to do that, and you absolutely insist on continuing to denigrate her by using what you know is (meant to be) the insulting phrase "reality TV".

Reality TV show money. I personally think Palin is lowering herself by doing the show.

You have yet to offer a definition of reality show. Just because Mark Burnett made reality shows doesn't mean everything he does is a variety show. You may as well say that "Dallas" is a sitcom because Larry Hagman was a successful sitcom actor (I Dream of Jeannie).

[CynicalBear]

You don’t know the difference between a reality show and a documentary?

[vladimir998]

So, you found one comment I posted 3 MONTHS AGO where I said that I believed Palin was lowering herself by making a reality TV show? Wow, I had forgotten all about it. It still wasn’t a negative comment about Palin, mind you. And I am still right. It’s a reality show.
