Bulgarian "Survivor" hit by Hurricane Chris
« on: August 06, 2006, 10:18:01 AM »
Per the Sofia News Agency
Quote
[...]

Producers and participants in the first Bulgarian season of "Survivor" have apparently faced their first surviving challenge earlier than planned, and had to be rescued by the Dominican Marine Fleet.

[...]

Has anybody actually died yet in one of these reality shows?

I think I read a post 2-3 years ago that a man killed himself after he was kicked out of a Nowegien (or a European) Survivor.  Unfortuantely, the cameras did not catch this.

It was the original Swedish version of the show, known as Expedition Robinson, and the suicide came well after the contestant had gone home.

A boxer on The Contender also killed himself after participating but before the series had aired.

With all due respect, Chumley, why would you have wanted them to?

That's gotta be one of your more tasteless posts, Chumley.

Shame on you. SHAME ON YOU.

And further proof that you haven't changed one iota.

It's my hope that this was sarcasm.

However, without making it clear that it was, it's still a perfectly idiotic thing to say.

And making clearer who said it, and his disdain for reality shows...

Doubt it was sarcasm. Doubt he'll apologize. Doubt he cares.

It sounds like he's beginning to fit into the old cliché of asking a leopard to change his spots, if you catch my drift...

ObTopic: I hope all the people on that island are OK after Chris' effects passed through.

Though of course, the Sofia News Agency isn't very savvy on Caribbean weather:

Quote
A Bulgarian television crew, including celebrity Slavi Trifonov, were evacuated from a Caribbean island when Hurricane Chris hit on Saturday, a newspaper revealed.

By that time, it was already merely a tropical depression, a step down from tropical storm.

Chumley, I initially thought about giving you a Scarecrow for that post, but I think giving you my utter contempt is more appropriate.

But that's okay, because it's ending now. Mr. Atkins has said he's changing his ways of posting; let's see if he lives up to it, shall we? [/quote]

Wishful thinking.

And from his post on the "Let's Meet Our Players!" section.

[quote name=\'Chumley\']I know some of the people should not give me a chance. Give me a shot and I will not fail. If I'm going off the path, you can kick me out for good.[/quote]

Sure seems like he's going off that path.

Have we all beat up on Chumley enough? Yeah,. what he said was wrong, but I don't think it calls for everyone to make a comment.

I'm sorry, Brandon, but I don't agree with you.

He swore to us he'd change. He said his days of making posts like that were over. He posted yet another tasteless and completely off topic post. He deserves it.
