How does ACME know?
The ClubHouse: Archives: How does ACME know?
Jbean | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 07:50 pm     Ok, am i the only one wondering how ACME knows every week who is getting voted out? how can they have been right all these times? do they have someone who knows what hotel these people stay at before their morning show interviews? i am just dumbfounded by this. i mean especially last week...who would have ever thought that "golden boy" gabe would be the one voted out? am i the only one curious about this????? |
Awareinva | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 07:51 pm     I think they may have an inside source. They did the first season.... but lost it and started to really suck at guessing. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 07:54 pm     This weeks guess wasn't that big of a stretch, I figured it out and I haven't been able to get one right yet. |
Knightpatti | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 08:05 pm     They have to have inside information. The odds are just not that great for guessing. I too got this week right the first time on my own without spoilers, but never before. |
Webkitty | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 08:15 pm     Wouldn't you think MB's people would be monitoring the internet for stuff like this? After all, he has a lot of money riding on the suspense of this show. ~still fuming over Gina getting voted off~ This is the first time since S1 I haven't been in the ballpark on who actually wins, ack! I'm starting to think its going to be Kathy/Rob going down to wire, based on my "theory" of face time throughout the show since the beginning. |
Hippyt | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 08:15 pm     Acme was originally Elliipsis Braintrust.They do have some inside source.Jeff Probst has even talked about them in interviews.Elliipsis split,and they got everything wrong for awhile,as Jbean said.Then Acme formed and now they're back.I really don't what kind of source they have,but they always get it right.I used to think it was a staff memberof Survivor,but it could also be someone who works at a CBS affiliate Tv station.Someone who gets to view the tape before we do. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 08:24 pm     I never vote by polls, I figure if I go against the odds I will get bigger scores. I just try to figure it out for myself and what they should do. Obviously this doesn't work, just check out how bad I am doing. I keep forgetting that they don't have the benefit of the little camera interviews and so they don't see everything that we do. |
Pamy | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 09:09 pm     Could Survivor be on tv somewhere else in the world an hour earlier than east coast time? They seem to post about 55-56 min into the hour and that is about the time it is revealed. If not then I think a Mole at the hotel for the morning show is a great idea!!!

Hippyt | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 09:20 pm     No Pamy,Acme put up last episodes boot on Wednesday night. |
Mygetaway | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 09:35 pm     What's the address for Acme? |

Mygetaway | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Thanks Moon!! |
Maris | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 10:13 pm     Pamy, Maybe they have someone who is with the armed forces in Greenland?????? |
Muse | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 10:52 pm     I'm not sure if they have an inside source again. Several of the spoiler groups have gotten almost all of the boots right...Acme might have the best record, but not by much. Of course if they end the season *still* getting virtually everything right (especially boots that few predicted), I'll change my mind. |
Urgrace | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 10:55 pm     They did get the RC wrong this week - heh heh! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 11:33 pm     and last week as well.. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 11:49 pm     Howard Stern asked for a video of the show so he could determine if he wanted to interview the next bootee. He was irritated when CBS sent him a tape with minutes missing at the end. Since he, obviously, does not watch the show he had no idea that Sarah was the one to go, nor could he guess. He voiced irritation to CBS, stating that he STILL did not know who was out and how could he possibliy commit to an interview. He continued to say.......What?! Do you think I was going to tell? To him is was not a big secret, he just wanted info for his show. He did not get the concept. After hearing this I guess that maybe Acme has access to the release tape that is given for promotion to personalities or shows. That is dissapointing to me. I cannot resist looking and thus far have not changed a vote to succeed in the TVCH deadpool. Now that it is obvious that they, indeed, have an inside line of some kind, I will continue to discuss the possibilites, vote my gut and let it go. This week I agreed and won some points. It seems deadpool has become something other than the original intention but we can change the game. I will register my vote on this board on Nekos thread, before Acme's disclousure, and take pride if I got it, (even gloat) rather than change my vote for the score. I am just going to look at Acme as the show itself, or not, if I want to be surprized. |
