Sorry about the hulu - missed that detail. I didn't think Itunes were different in Canada. When you go to the TV section, is there a "genre" list on the side where you can pick "Reality"? If so, there should be two pages of shows, one of which is solitary. When I found it by searching, I just put in solitary (not the 3.0) and the most recent episode was listed.

Nope - here's a screenshot of what I see. Sorry if it stretches the page. Even though I'm in the TV category, the genres are still showing mucic, though the image results for TV shows are there. FWIW, I just did a search for LOST, and got hits for Dora the Explorer, Rick Mercer Report, Ice Road Truckers, but not my crazy-mystery Island show. It must be different across the border. So frustrating. No Val 3.0 for me. I use torrents, I get screwed. I try to do it the legit way, I still get screwed. How is that fair??

It's not fair I had no idea i-Tunes was different. Have you tried to use proxy servers to access blocked sites? (i.e. Hulu)

In mine, when I click on TV Shows there on the left, I get a new screen with this menu (it's farther down on the left):
and my "Networks and Studios" are on the right hand side, not the left like yours. ****sigh**** If globalization is such a big thing - why can't they glolablize things like Itunes and Amazon.com?? (Kindles aren't available outside US right now either.)

OK, Teach, looking at your interface compared to mine, the content is most definitely different up here. SO. NOT. FAIR. <insert tantrum here> OhioMP, I'm hesitant to do the IP proxy thing because I use my work laptop to connect at home via wireless router, so we share the IP. I work for an internet marketing agency and am just paranoid about accessing a hijacked IP via a company machine that dabbles so heavily in IP tracking, etc., y'know? So here's the deal. I'll pay for discs (hell, I'll take VHS, I don't care), the shipping and a finders fee to the first person who ponies up and offers to send me the season. Any takers? Seriously. I'm desperate.

Karen, I told you I could do it. I can start with 2/7 episode on to the end for you if that is OK. Just let me know so I can start it live tonight. It will be VHS if that is OK.

Owl, I am forever in your debt if you're willing to ship 'em all to me at the end of the season. I did see your offer upthread but wasn't sure if you'd be willing to do them all for me. And of course VHS is fine - probably better, actually, as my DVD player has been acting up lately and is selective about the discs it wants to play these days. I'll send you a PM in a bit. You're awesome, thanks so much!

At the SS board there was a poster from Canada that said they were watching from someone who posted the show to megavideo. I am not that good at searching. this is what I found http://www.megavideo.com/?c=search&s=solitary+3.0 Maybe someone with better skills with mega video can find the show for Karen.

Wow about last night's outcome! I was only half way watching, but did the person I think left leave?

It was kind of obvious he'd be the one leaving when you saw the treatment. Glad the girls did well. That Karrie (or Kerrie) has been with the guys all the way. She's a tough one. I didn't watch the first Solitary season. I know a guy won last season. Did a guy win season 1 too? I am wondering if a woman can win this (hoping it's going to happen one day).

I was not so surprised at who went home as at who was exempt from the treatment.

Karen, I know what you mean. If I were in your situation I wouldn't either. Although a strong firewall should keep your information safe?? I'll try the megavideo search at home if it won't work for you. I may be able to put them on flash drive for you if want.

Karen, I'm making the tape for you. If you find it online somewhere, just let me know. If not, I'll keep taping for you, and send it to you at the end.

Ya know, it's online in torrents and in usenet. It cost less to just download it from usenet than to be sending video tapes. I'll upload all the 3.0 eps to megaupload in WMV over the next couple days. Stop this insanity with VHS already.

Naja, I remember it was you who sent me discs of the first season. Season 2 demonoid saved me with every episode, I had no troubles finding the torrents. This season, Episodes 1 and 2 were available the next day, but since then I've had no luck finding them. Demonoid appears to now be closed to downloads unless you have member access, and any of the other torrent sites I've searched come up empty. To be honest I gave up looking after episode 4. If you can post them all for me, I'd be forever grateful. (Honestly, 99.9% of the time I wouldn't trade my Canadian citizenship for anything. But things like this, or not being allowed to apply for TAR... make me question my love of my maple leaf, LOL.)

I found them all in usenet, Karen. I'll post them by tomorrow night using megaupload. I should have at least a couple posted before I go to bed tonight. I'll have them all posted by tomorrow night.

Solitary 3.0 Ep 1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UERKM8R7 Ep 2 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=URKM93IJ How to download from megaupload: 1. In the upper right corner, enter the code they give you into the box and click "download". 2. On the next page click the big button that says "regular download". 3. On the next page wait for your save pop up to show up and click "save", and save to wherever you would like on your computer. Sometimes you you will first have to wait for a 45 second countdown to end before you can download if it's during busy hours.

You're the best, thanks, Naja!! And thank you to you, Owl, for so kindly offering to collect these all for me. It's easier and cheaper for all of us if I just grab them from here. Thanks for saving this reality junkie!

Wow, that crawling treatment was brutal. I can't imagine these people putting themselves through that kind of torture and humiliation for $50,000. They are going through so much they might as well try for Survivor and at least try for the $1M.

Hmm, it seems like every challenge discriminates against someone, only a strong, medium sized person can survive all the challenges, unless they luck out and someone has a lower tolerance for pain. Too large and you can't move as fast, too small and you can't eat as much or carry as much weight. It seems like the 20 year old has the advantage here. The teen ager should really not give up so much in elimination challenges, while she is conserving some strength, and your mind can be muddled after so little sleep, sirens and alarms will not help. So will her lower weight and youth or Robrob's training and more rest help them get through the ropes? There are people who still question my mental state in watching this show because they claim it is cruel. I really think people leave this show in a more positive state of mind than those shows that have people plot against and betray each other.

Woohoo! The guy I wanted to win actually won this year, though I wouldn't have been unhappy to see his buddy win either. That was a hard fought win but he had won several of the last treatments and, I think, deserved it a little more. Wonder if they'll do a reunion like they did last season.

I liked the winner too, but I thought the last challenge was a little dull, just watching them stand there. All in all, it was a good season though.

There is no Union show this year. Several of the contestant from this and previous seasons have been posting over at Sucks and they are all bummed that there won't be a show. RobRob was pushing the producers hard for one and he posted a response about a week ago from the producers stating there were no plans. Any of the final 3 would have been a good winner.

I was happy with the winner, but agree that the final challenge was deadly dull to watch. I understand people thinking it is cruel, but the show seems to empower pretty much everyone on it. And of course the elapsed time for the whole experience isn't that long, even though we see a season over a period of weeks. I think in some ways this is one of the purest reality shows (though that was a bit contaminated by having them briefly paired up at the beginning).

Robrob posted on TWOP about hell night before the challenge. He went into the detail of how they were basically played with for 24 hours. They had to do puzzles for sleep and food. Some of it was pretty fully. I will go get a link for it and post it here. He could not figure out why they did not show any of that on TV and spent so much time on the final challenge. Robrob's post

That last challenge was boring! But a fun season overall.
