Non-Profit Alleges Environmental Damage in Panama

[QUOTE=Moonpaw;29118]I'm sure they didn't know then, but I was wondering what they would say now. And also what they would say about being in a not-so-deserted area after all.[/QUOTE] You can put the question to each of the cast at [url=http://www.iamonmtv.com]IAmOnMTV.com[/url]

[QUOTE=Bacchus;29120]Why? To try and annoy the interns that are responding as cast members? I know you get a lot of secret (and not so secret) pleasure out of that V! ;)[/QUOTE] It's like giving it to MTV from both ends. I suspect Ms. Lee will be busy tomorrow, too. The Karma following Justin Booth's producer's blog just seems so fitting.

[QUOTE=OtherPplsDrama;29122]Wow, I like this guy. He made [I]excellent[/I] points and it was very well written. All that time we wondered what was going on down there in July, and here this guy had a front row seat (albeit, an [I]unwanted[/I] one.) Either way, great info, good find V1.[/QUOTE] Well, not credit really since I'm apparently no faster on the draw than is TMZ, which is rather pathetic when one thinks about it. Just where was this guy when B and I were searching from someone from Bocas del Toro to talk to us during filming.

The responsible party for Bunim Murray Productions is their challenge executive producer, Justin Booth. He is blogging on mtv. You can send him a comment about this article at [URL="http://www.challengedailies.com/Post/WELCOME-TO-OUR-ISLAND/0D4DB8A01018ADBD4000800A0E3BF"]Challenge Dailies [/URL]

[QUOTE=Insider;29193]I have one question.. Are these challenges scripted? If so.. I'm done.[/QUOTE] Don't tell me you're worried that these people can act? HAHA! No, they are not dialogue scripted. What the writer of the article is talking about finding is most likely the ytranscripst of relevant tape shot during the month on the island. The tapes are regularly sent back to BMP in Van Nuy, CA, where transcript are made of every tape. Copies of those transcripts are then emailed to the challenge site so the producers and directors have that info available to them. What the have "in the can" becomes very important as one begins to build a show. As the challenge develops, you rely on what you've already shot to help you know how and where to focus upcoming interviews. There is a second kink of script looking thing that could have been found, and that would be the loose story outline that most reality shows use every day. If left to any cast, the show would likely implode, so you have to guide where the action is going to go. Occasionally you get surprised, but mostly things go fairly close to the plan. The story outline may also include planned interview questions, text of what others have already said on the same or similar subjects (you want to avoid getting repetitive answers since you are probably only going to use one), and notations on the activities scheduled for that day and what OTF's (on the fly interviews) need to be done that day. Some shows go so far as to include a desired outcome in their daily storyline so that the director's interaction with cast can steer them in one direction or another my asking specific questions, etc. It's impossible to know from the description given exactly what was left behind, but the above are the two most likely possibilities.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;29214][B] Director:[/B] So Dan, what are your thoughts about Dave? [B]Dan:[/B] He seems OK. [B]Director:[/B] Why do you think [I]he[/I] thinks you're a closet homosexual? [B]Dan:[/B] WHAT? [B]Director:[/B] Oh, well he just mentioned it in passing. Here, have a shot. [B]Dan:[/B] What the hell are you talking about? *gulp* [B]Director:[/B] Well, I don't want to start anything. He just mentioned that and something about your mother. Have a couple more shots. I am sure he did not mean anything by it. Actually, he didn't say "gay" per say but hinted that you were probably bi and that your mom was a pro. [B]Dan:[/B] WHAT!!! WHAT DID HE SAY???!! *gulp, gulp* [B]Director:[/B] Hmm, Sounds like you and Dave need a heart to heart about that and his plans for your sister once he gets off the island... [B]Dan:[/B] HUH???! I AM GOING TO KILL THAT ***KER!! AHHHHH! (seen running off toward Dave...) [B]Director:[/B] (to film crew) Roll cameras...[/QUOTE] You're a f'ing genius! You've never produced one of these things, yet you are already a pro at the manipulation of cast members. (Readers have no idea how close to the truth you really are -- though it is slightly more subtle in most cast cases. )

[QUOTE=LilysMom;29245]So do they have to clean this s**t up? Or are they just going to leave this disgrace?[/QUOTE] LM, that is an excellent question. I think we should ask MTV PR office for their response. I wonder if they will give us the "Sunny side of truth."

[QUOTE=Moonpaw;29909]Dave posted a blog on IAmOnMTV.com about this article, so hopefully it'll get more fan exposure. I know he's not the most popular, but he's the only one writing blogs on there any more, so his blogs stay on the main site longer (and they're the only ones there to read anyways).[/QUOTE] Saying that Dave wrote a blog on this is technically accurate, but might lead one to believe that he actually said something of note. He didn't. The only thing Dave did in response to a comment left by site member "rejectioncity" was to post the link to the tree coalition organization and write that he hoped the story was not true, but that people should check it out for themselves. I'm not complaining that he did something, though. The other cast members were sent the link to the same article, but since Dave is about the only one who actually posts at iamonmtv.com, I doubt that the others have even seen it.
