Ban vote and angry offensive postings. So if you are part of a community and now known, then its just normal that you defend yourself when a big amount of people is attacking and start hating on you, seem to lack the right distance to the show and want to ban you from the site. Her post in this matter was just based on the principle of action and reaction and there is nothing to criticize about that. Maybe now some more people are smarter about this kind of shows and keep the right distance. Sure. I just question what's the fun in a reality TV show if you're not allowed to talk about it for fear it was inaccurately portrayed? We can take that as a given. It doesn't mean we can't pretend it isn't completely fiction and comment on it. I mean, I can hardly believe it's not against their contract to be berating the show so much. I could think of it this way... "You're all paid actors. You don't have any lines, so just be yourselves and we'll edit it to make sense." Then you get mad at people for thinking you're a bad guy when the show portrayed you as one... It's not like I'm talking to these people in person telling them what their personalities are to their faces... I'm talking about the show. I think that should be a pretty obvious distinction. | ||

 If only CiJi didn't say she was going to drop her game, Geoff may had still been on the show! EDIT: nm. guess it was cleared up 2-3 pages earlier. | ||

He only has ONE vote, and I know that this community would kill it and I don't like seeing him there with only one hehe! Hahaha, a poll with only 45 votes total?... posting that on TL isn't even fair! Having just watched the last episode, I thought it was really good. The dance competition was very funny and the rest was alright. Tbh Geoff you didn't really deserve to get any further, you were consistently poor in all the games up to that point. By definition you can't be an "all-around gamer" and suck at all console games. I mean I rate PC gaming much higher like a lot of people on this forum, but I played consoles a lot as a kid and I still appreciate them. The show is still entertaining and I reckon I'm going to keep watching it, albeit a little less enthusiastically. | ||

It isn't particularly revolutionary information to say "I didn't deserve to go further" no shit.. that was why I lost. I don't suck at all console games.. I suck at those games. And that is fine.. please don't think you are saying anything worth mentioning. | ||

It sucks that incontrol got a bad draw with the games being played. But I'm still going to keep watching even though it's so cheesy. | ||

I can only talk about the people as they are shown in this show and it would not be my responsibility if they force a image of someone which isn't real and I can't know of it. Thats the business of the participants and the intendants of the show. The main difference is that I can be aware of the concept of such shows, that wrong portraying is possible and then I simply don't overreact, keep emotionally the right distance and don't take everything too serious. A other thing that as a viewer I can do, is that I can show my support to parts of the show and criticism to other parts of it.Sure.

It's not like I'm talking to these people in person telling them what their personalities are to their faces... I'm talking about the show. I think that should be a pretty obvious distinction. I don't know what kind of contract they could have make. I am also not to familiar with US and Reality Tv. But personally I prefer the truth more over a fake theatre. So for me it is positive when somebody would correct me if I got something wrong and negative when this fake stuff gradually gets more and more importance instead for example the gaming or competition part in it. I could imagine that in this situation you have to agree that they can use the footage how they like. But I think nobody wants that people get a wrong impression of yourself and start to dislike you due to a person that isn't you in reality and so you have the right to clarify those things when you are confronted with them. Otherwise they also can rename it from reality to fake tv. | ||

Summarising my post is very revolutionary, would read again, well done. You just sound like a poor loser. | ||

That is what I would have done if I knew you threw the match, let the scheming backfire on the schemers. You did the right thing. And Geoff: sucks that they only had those "crappy" (IMHO) games. Even the shooter was a friggin' console game, which to me means that the product placement behind this show was more important than actually choosing games on their competitive merits, like Counter strike....or Starcraft  | ||

You can't really blame their choice of games, the way the show works etc. This is not about finding the Ultimate Gamer, but about creating a reality show with as much drama as possible. Gaming is only a setting for them, but not the main motivation. | ||

lol. How could anyone not see that as trying to snipe Geoff so he'd never get a chance to play the games he's really good at? Political wise it works out too, but Swoozie didn't even consider to play any of the weak players against him... Geoff did really good for someone who was up against the odds, but it still wasn't even close. His opponent would have had to choke with the types of people he was gonna be against. The only player who really helped him was Chelsea (was that her?), while everyone else just had fun in the hottub... For people who act like they care so much, they totally left Geoff out to dry when it looked like he was done.
