Well, I gotta tell ya that was an interesting read. I ventured over to the official NBC site and entered their forum. The Fogal thread is 30 pages! There were people posting who are members of the church where Mr. Fogal preaches. At first there were a few who seemed to be teens, and they were very supportive of the Fogal family...but after the airing of episode 2, they disappeared completely. One has to wonder what is going on out there...and if there aren't some doubts, at least questions arising from Mr. Fogal's game play. Or if they have been requested or advised not to participate. There is also another poster who claims to teach bible study with Mr. Fogal and he appears credible. He says that the daughter went to NBC and asked them not to continue editing her father in such a bad light. We shall see if the editing changes...or Mr. Fogal redeems himself.

There is no way NBC will heed that request, even if possible! The show is edited and the story complete. Mr Fogel, it is time to either take responsibility for your behavior and apologize or stand up to your convictions and defend yourself. Oh, and ask your wife to stop screaming. I have to laugh at the notion a reality contestant could request a certain edit even if it were still possible. NBC executive to editing staff, "Guys we made a terrible mistake. There is a guy on Treasure Hunters that doesn't like the way he is being shown. Can you go back in and change the rest of the season and omit anything he did that could be perceived as negative? You will? Awwwwww thanks guys. You are swell."

Here is the thing about reality television - They can edit you any way they want, but you still have to do the things taht they edit. Years ago, I met Ian of the Amazing race - he was show arguing with his wife all the time (not like Johnathan, though - just expected her to keep up with him more and to give 150% to the race). He said he did argue with his wife and every arguement was aired, but none of their tender moments when he took care of her when she fell. It was edited to look like he got back on his bicycle and did not help her - so they can edit things out, but they cannot edit in things that you have not done. With the Fogels, the editing about Praying may be leaving things out, but to grab a clue from someone's hand or to leave the others, is not something they can create and insert. I find it interesting that Reality television is finding religious people who "play hard". I wonder if they are afraid that some religious people will be too helpful to fellow contestants and add a test to make sure they really want to win. It does look like the Southie boys are pretty helpful.

Well, I got to watch the first two episodes - taped courtesy of The Owl -and realized several things! 1) I didn't know the Young Professionals were from TN - Memphis, to be exact - as I haven't read all the bios yet. 2) I saw why the Air Force people weren't upset to be paired with the Fogels in the Boston area task - the Fogels had let them go first from the ship after the Morse code solving task! 3)The Southies were willing to help the Fogels with their canoe because they had a chance to "bond" on the bus trip! Okay, I am now up to speed and ready to watch Monday's show with more understanding!

Yes, the Fogels let the Air Force go first from the ship but the Air Force had helped the Fogels solve that clue, so it was only fair for AF to go first at that time.

And I hope the AF team knows that they have paid their dues! It doesn't seem to me that the Fogels have let "fair" seep into their bones from that time on, however! IMO, of course!

I was initially turned off by the Fogals' behavior in those two incidents. However, after watching the last episode it seems pointless to continue to view them as the bad guys. The rest of the teams gave up their moral high ground when they showed their snaky sides, not only to the Fogals and Air Force team, but even to each other. At least the Fogals were happy to hear the Browns were returning, unlike some of the other teams. I don't think it was just the Hanlons who were mad that they came back. Knowing that the Hanlons had ditched the Browns, the others went ahead and rewarded them by giving them the info they needed instead of making them get it from the Browns. And if their real aim was to get rid of the Fogals, why would they want them paired up with the best team in the game? Oh, yeah. That really taught them a lesson. You'd think by now reality contestants wouldn't be so gullible as to expect their opponents will pass up a chance to get the best of them. Not saying it's right to take a clue out of someone's hand, but that it's foolish not to be on guard.

Can anyone tell me what the rules are for using Ask.com? Are they allowed to use it whenever they want or are there restrictions on it? Just wondering why you'll see some teams doing research, while others don't. If there are restrictions on it (like if you could only use it once per leg of the hunt), that would make sense.

Kayte Fogal: "I hate this job. I don't want to hold flashlights." So you do the digging, Kayte. Should have left her back at the plantation.

Pamy if you have a high speed connection there are torrents up. I missed the week before but luckily they reran that one. Don't ya hate that you never know which they are gonna rerun or not. So annoying! Am I wrong or are the epsidodes/clue/etc not quite as intriguing as the first few were. Of course the heavy amount of whining, not just from young Fogel but several others sure bogs it down to me. I am looking forward to playing the online game but I REALLY want someone to reply to my question in that thread before I do lol. Plus my mouse is out (I'm praying it's just batteries) so gonna wait till tomorrow anyway as there's always tons of clicking around on stuff and that would be murder on the touchpad lol. BTW Watching, DH def nailed it!!!

The Air Force is not only formidable, but they really are lucky. Props to the USA women. They just kept on going. That Kayte is a major pest. Tellin' you, now way my parents would have put up with that, and I wouldn't put up with my kids being so whiny and annoying, either.

Well, since nobody seems to be discussing the July 17 show, I won't bother starting a whole thread for it. I just wanted to stop in with one comment on the Fogels. I think they should have signed up for Nanny 911 instead of Treasure Hunters! I commented to Mom last night that I would have hated seeing what Kayte was like as a two-year-old. But then, it seems like she's never grown out of the terrible twos.

If this were a scritpted drama Katye would be acused of over acting and poorly, at that. She took over for the Hanlons supplying the much needed comic relief. I wish they showed more of her. Her best fit was not wanting to hold the flashlight! Good stuff. You can't even criticize her It would be like making fun of the handicapped!
