Here are my comments on last night's episode of THE LOT:
Where to start?
Like DRs Jose and Jrand i was really annoyed that they didn't continue where they left off last week. The show was so bizarre to me. I mean the movies were okay. But the format was so different from the interesting reality format the last 2 shows.
1.I liked the reality style of the other episodes better than just showing the full films. There was no interactions between the contestants (will it always be this way?)
2.Did i miss something? They went from 36 to 18 people without ever showing us who got cut? They did not show them do their movies from last week. Total lapse! And quite maddening. They didn't show the eliminations or the movies!
3.How did we get these 18?
4. If they don't show us the groupings of 3 from last week (to remind us)are we just supposed to remember who everyone is?
DR Jennifer - Breathe.
Did you catch the second, shorter episode of "On the Lot" last week? They did show the eliminations after the three-person film challenge.
However, we did not see the one-page script movies, nor the whittling down to last night's final 18.
I'm guessing - and this is purely a guess - that Fox may have changed the number of episodes ordered for "On the Lot", and we just "simply" lost a televised round in the process.
5. After they show each movie why aren't they putting up the phone number to call (the woman host is just saying it). Totally bizarre. And in fact i don't believe they EVER put up the numbers. Crazy. Stupid. And why don't they remind people how many times you can vote or for how long.
Hmm... I just double-checked the DVR, and they did put up the phone numbers after each movie was shown while the host was wrapping things up. And at the end of the show during the recap, they showed the numbers again. -Instead of having all 18 of them repeated by the host one after the other (Whew!).
6. I don't really like this host.
I get that when you get to a different part of the competition the format can change a bit. But i loved the interaction from last week. This week is so serious and not the same tone. And i really want to know what happened to their movies last week and how everyone got eliminated.
As for the host... I guess there's bound to be some info somewhere on web as to what happened.
What I find interesting is that it appears that the filmmakers may already be working on the next challenge even before they know that they're going to be eliminated. When I checked out the site for "On the Lot" yesterday, there were discussions about the next challenge. I think. -The website seems more devoted to the web-based competition rather than the TV one.
