Haines His Way

This is the least fresh daisy I have ever seen!

Please don't VILIFY me!

Speaking of wonderful character actors/actresses (well, we did speak of them some time back), Margaret Rutherford was in a movie last night called THE RUNAWAY BUS which I taped last night, along with a Dick Foran movie and a Jeff Chandler movie...just wanted to share.

DR RonP I didn't mean that they should have stiffed the cab driver.  I just was wondering why they didn't tell him they would pay him AFTER they crossed the finish line.

Others have suggested that they were obligated to settle things with the driver until he was satisfied (because leaving him would have been against the law and they are not allowed to break the law).

The editing suggested that they did it out of the kindness of their hearts (which is also possible).

I just thought it made no sense to want to pay him BEFORE crossing the finish line. I'm sure he would have waited 30 minutes (which is probably how long it took them to beg for the $$ anyhow).

Also, I don't really get people who are so happy for Romber's downfall.  Yes, Joyce and Uchenna were lovely people.  But I'm sure that Rob and Amber are nice people too.  I don't know if it's jealousy (i'm not talking about you) or what (i know they didn't need the money as much as U/J).  I just like the most competitive team to win.  It's not about the money to me.  Like I said, I'm perfectly happy for U/J to have the money.  I just wanted Romber to win the race.

Btw, I do get that many people just didn't like the way Rob played the game.  And that is fine.  But the editing does play a big part in creating "characters" on these shows.

DRMATTH - that actor has more problems than being in a show...LOL.  You will get someone BETTER, you'll see.  I am sure the director would be open to suggestions at this point if you know someone....I bet you do, think!

if only Joey lived on the other side of the country  

When ever I see a daisy it makes me think of my Aunt Jo.  She was my favorite aunt, and daisies were her favorite flower.  She said they looked "honest and unpretentious"

Whenever I see flowers and bunnies and whatnots strewn all about, it just makes me want to fwow up.

My first question for ASK BK day:

Are there any of the new Broadway composers that you like?  Those who have begun to have shows during that past 15 years or so?  Please give examples.

Just composers?  Steve Flaherty, some of Bill Finn (although he's earlier than that).

Two Questions:

Did the First Nudie Musical make any of the Academy Awards pre-nominations nominations that year?

The Off-Broadway musical that you will record is that the one that Tony Walton was involved in?

I would doubt we made any of the pre-nominations - we only really submitted in the song category.

Can't mention what the recording is quite yet.

I believe I talked about this extensively in either Monday or Tuesday's notes (probably Tuesday's).  Briefly, comping is taking the multiple vocal takes on a song and using the best bits from each to make one vocal take.

 Oh yes, you did talk about it but I thought that was 'mixing"

So then the mixing is bringing the different final tracks of the vocals and the instrumentals together?  

VILIFY, baby, VILIFY!

I'm getting a rather late start to the morning.

VILIFY!

YIKES!

Just watching the footage of the evacuations this morning in DC due to a possible "intruder" airplane....  YIKES!!!

DR Jennifer:  The most competitive team or individual in any competition is not always the most desirable or deserving.

Being fiercely competitive does not make anyone "worthy" of winning.  It's the whole individual that makes him or her or them worthy.

Rob is a first class sh*t, IMO.  He came off that way on Survivor and he came of that way in TAR.  

The team that won deserved the win.  They played it fairly, squarely and they didn't have to look for tricky ways to get ahead of anyone.  

It's cosmic karma.

I'm not sure if you've watched this edition.  But I think anyone who did would agree that Rob and Amber were the best team.  That is what I meant by most competitive.

I really disagree that the team that won deserved to win.  Yes they were very nice (but so were Meredith and Gretchen). That didn't make them deserving (they were slow and bad at tasks).

Don't get me wrong. I really like Uchenna and Joyce. They seemed to be truly lovely people.  BUt they finished near the middle of the pack most legs.  That is not a winning team to me.  I want a team that is kind to each other, that is competitive, and that is the best.  I get that some people don't like Rob.  But you act as if he's evil.  He was playing a game.  He didn't try to hurt anyone.  Maybe his extreme competitiveness got in the way of him being overly nice.  But I don't think that anyone should expect a team to share information or hand the last place team money.  They are in a competition.

I think that Uchenna and Joyce did have some qualities which set them apart from the rest.  I guess I just wish that they had done better in the other legs of the race.  Plus they were in last place (at the non-elimination). And many hours behind when the bunching occured.  

I know i won't change your mind about this.  I just find that often people (including most people here at HHW who watch TAR) want to cheer for the most likeable team.  It occasionally happens (like with Kris & Jon in TAR6) that the likeable team is the best. But more often than not they aren't even close to being the best.

I can't really explain it, but I find myself always cheering for who I find to be the strongest team.  And frankly even though I liked Romber from Survivor, I was pretty shocked at how good they were in this game.

Okay enough comments from me about this.
