Roe325 | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 09:45 am   I was on the CBS website and saw that my boys, Drew nad Kevin, had a red 'X' next to thier name rather than the engaged couple that lost lost night. I took some screen shots: http://pinkroziz.com/public_html/images/amazrace/amazrace_001.jpg and http://pinkroziz.com/public_html/images/amazrace/amazrace_002.jpg I am hoping htat this is just a screw up on CBS's part and that they are NOT the next to go. Any thoughts? |
Grooch | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 09:47 am   NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it is a mistake. |
Fflur | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 10:25 am   Roe, I see what you mean. It looks like the X Drew/Kevin instead of Paul/Amie. And Bert and Ernie are down to 28%! |
Crazydog | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 11:18 am   I saw that too today, but I didn't look at the site yesterday. It would have meant more to me if I had known if it was there yesterday, and that CBS was trying to throw people off. |
Jaded | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 01:46 pm   I hope it's just a mistake. Those two are great! |
C1mag | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 04:17 pm   On the Rosie show today Amie made the comment that they are under contract. A gag order so to speak that would cost them 10 million if they reveal the winner and or losers. I'm sure that all those associated with the show who know the outcome are under the same type of contract. Because of such careful planning to keep things a secret I doubt a webmaster would have ANY knowledge of who goes before it airs. I'm leaning towards believing it was just an error or just to see who would be paying attention. Lets not forget the first survivor and how many somethings on their website were made out of nothing. I'd hate to see these guys go this coming week. |
Muse | Thursday, October 11, 2001 - 07:46 pm   Eeek - I hope not. Hopefully it's just like the Gervase X scandal from Survivor 1. In the opening sequence we see Kevin and Drew jumping into the water from a boat. If they don't get to some challenge involving diving/snorkling/swimming or whatever in the next episode, they should be okay. But if they suddenly start showing them doing that...I'll worry.  |
Tbear | Friday, October 12, 2001 - 02:48 am   ROE, I checked out the 2 sites you posted and if you look at the top it shows a tiny a square box = elimination, not an X. They haven't put a box beside Paul & Amie's graph yet, and there isn't one beside Kevin and Drew's. Only the contestants that have been eliminated prior to last week's show. I have no idea what the X means, except that it says "roll over to rate your poll" or something like that. So hopefully it is just a quirk or I am guessing the webmaster will be canned. |
Iluvchoc | Friday, October 12, 2001 - 08:14 pm   I talked to a lady at work today and I don't know how true this is but she said that when Nancy and Emily came back from the Amazing Race, that they each had a brand new car. Kind of interesting isn't it? |
Tbear | Friday, October 12, 2001 - 09:48 pm   Iluvchoc, That is interesting..... I heard something similar about another show, that they all received so much for being on the show. I know that on Survivor, the Producer admitted to having stand-ins on a TV interview. I think it's disgusting for people to have a REALITY Show and manipulate it. Also, along the same lines, I have a friend who's family was in the news because they had a housefire. They said my friend was a hero because she went and saved her younger sister by pulling her out or something to that affect; meanwhile my friend just told her sister she better come out the window and out of the house.
Sad, isn't it. Some people who make money off of the news and television are without a conscious. |
Roe325 | Saturday, October 13, 2001 - 09:38 am   That is true at times Tbear, during the start of the WTC coverage, one ot the local reporters played up a report of a cell phone call a guy got from his wife and they had just found her or something, and when he went to interview the guy, the story was totaly difused, and the reporter looked like an idiot. another was a hoax - woman claimed her husband was in the rubble, got all this air time, she was a nut case, the reporter again looked like an idiot. Cant do things like that on live TV. maybe all Reality shows should be live! along the lines of BB, but liver.(not sure if thats a word) may be something you eat. doesnt matter tha much to me i still enjoy them, it so much better than all the other garbage on the networks. i cant wait till wednesday!! |
Jenhavins | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 01:13 pm   Iluv...I live 5 miles away from Nancy and Emily and haven't seen a new car when I drive by. |
Jenhavins | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 01:21 pm   I started thinking about it and maybe Emily is back at school with a new car? So my passing their house is not for certain that they got new cars. |
Tbear | Tuesday, October 16, 2001 - 11:56 pm   Jenhavins, Could you ask them? They likely won't be able to tell you, but 2 new cars all of a sudden, as if the neighbors aren't going to wonder. That must be interesting living so close. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 07:11 am   I don't think any of the players on any of the reality shows get their money until the show airs and is totally completed. I suppose they could buy new cars in anticipation of the cash coming but they are probably told that is against the rules to demonstrate any behavior that could give the ending away. |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 07:59 am   I don't know them personally, I just know where they live. It is on my way to HEB. I guess I could go knock on their door and ask, but I would think that would be crass. I believe Emily is back at school (from what the hokey local news says), . There is a goldish color Camry that I see sometimes, but I am not looking through binoculars when I go by and I am trying not to stare at their house (like I am some obsessed freak)! |
Car54 | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 02:54 pm   All this is leading me to really worry about our frat boys...the evidence... the x on the website on their team, possible new cars for E&N the ad this week showing the boys going back to help E&N. (have I been over in the survivor area too much this week?) |
Allaboutme | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 04:08 pm   If you look at the page with the "x" next to their name, it only goes up to Episode 4 (look at the bottom of the popularity timeline) and places a box along the line for the team where it intersects with the vertical line for each episode. I assume that the chart hasn't been updated for episode 5 yet, since there isn't any designation for episode 5 along the axis and no "x" next to Paul and Amie. My guess is that this is just a glitch and not an early change to the site in anticipation of this episode. Also, if it were anything meaningful, I think it would have been removed by now. |
Car54 | Wednesday, October 17, 2001 - 04:44 pm   allabout...thanks---sure hope you are right..but I understand why Paul and Amie aren't updated, but why do Kevin & Drew HAVE an X??? I never can read these charts |
Roe325 | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 07:35 am   CBS, keeping their web site in the same shape as their station!! they are still on the air thanks to BB2's live feed donations and the .99 phone calls. LOL. I am sure the web master had to go back to school and had midterms this week and last week so he couldnt update it! just glad the guys are still in the game. |
