[quote name=\'TLEberle\' post=\'241001\' date=\'May 17 2010, 08:42 PM\']Wasn't it the case that the producer in question sought out our opinion (in the form of posts to ATGS) about the new series, we said "You're Doing It Wrong," and he said "Don't care, I'm doing it my way," and we blew him off after that?[/quote]
I don't remember him seeking our opinion as much as he was justifying the many production decisions that were made. I remember there being a few questions about Winners Circle judging, and he responded to a few comments on the board.
One that stood out was "Disco Songs", and a few wondered why "Disco Music" wasn't accepted. I think the reasoning was "YMCA" is a song...The Village People would be an example of (Types of) Disco Music. Thinking about it now, the judging was extremely anal, even though there were a ton of $10,000 winners the first few weeks.
/Not accepting "Tools" for "Things in a Toolbox" was ridiculous IMO
