Dear Wombat, It is easy to make acusations when one makes them under the
cover of a psuedonym.
It is also easy to make them when you have not approached the people
concerned and got their side of the story.
Have you done just that?
This whole episode has become a trial by internet.
I am trying to defend persons that have no input or knowledge of what is
posted behind their back on the internet.

After all this, I am sure we have lifted the ratings of the show through
curiousity.

But what we all really want to know is, how do you know so much when  the
show has not even been on TV yet??
How do you know so much of the internal workings of VLP, and the DOI???

>From my understanding, the preview tapes are usually only sent to those
persons involved in the filming.
