Greetings all.
Against my better judgment I have decided to post my two cents here. My post discusses my opinion on bashers and comments on the show format. In short, don’t worry about the bashers, we will get ours in the end, and the show needs DRAMA, DRAMA, and more DRAMA. Let me say that again we need DRAMA.
In regards to the bashers, I would like to extend a thanks to them if they actually are influencing the stock price with their drivel. All they are doing is putting the stock on sale, which I appreciate. I am currently in accumulation mode and have been able to accumulate over 2.1 million shares because of the volatility in this stock (sell high and buy ALOT low). (No this is not BS, there is a well trusted and highly regarded poster on this board that can confirm this. I will leave it to him to post his confirmation if he so likes. For those of you that still think I am BS’n, oh well.) My entire objective is to amass as many shares as I can for what I believe will be an eventual buyout. Therefore, I am Long , as in , I am in this stock for a Looong time. To the bitter end. While the drops in the share price can be disconcerting remember this, this is a pink sheet and pink sheets do not act like normal stocks. Trader, Investor, Speculator sentiment drive share price, and sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to sentiment. Just take comfort in that a valuable franchise is being built here that a large entertainment business interest will recognize and pay a fair value for in the future. I believe that value to be approximately $1.25 to $1.50. So mates, buy up all you can, at a low PPS, because at the end of this we will be dining at the Four Seasons.
Now in terms of the show, I would like to preface my comments, with the following statement. What I (or any of us) think about the quality of the show does not matter, what matters are actual viewership numbers (that number on IMDb, is not viewership but rather the change in the number of hits on that website regarding RR), sponsorship numbers, and financials. In short, it’s all about the money.
Given that, here are my comments.
1. While the last show was an improvement over the others, it still sucked, Sorry.
2. Dr. Drake was a start in the right direction, but I think we need more obnoxious contestants. Unfortunately, hate and lust is more powerful than altruism and love in this demographic, so we need contestants on this show that we want to see get it stuck to them or that we would want to lay. People, this is SPIKE not ABC Family.
3. We need DRAMA. We need contestants that are schemers sticking it to each other for the ultimate prize.
4. We need continuity week to week. I think this demographic would tune in week to week if they had someone they could follow and boo or root for. We should not have people hitting the road each week, rather we should have a horse race where contestant drop out when they are so far behind that there is no hope or that they screw up so badly that everybody turns against them. This could happen every fourth or fifth show. In the season ender, we could have a mad dash to the finish. Every schemer for themselves, complete carnage.
5. The contestants need to have some semblance of talent behind the wheel. Perhaps we should extend the talent search to current amateur/semi-pro racers.
6. I sort of liked the fire escape challenge but thought it could of been a lot better if Burke and the others on the crew were screaming things like “fire” or “get out or you will die” while the car interior was partially filled with fake smoke. I think it would have been fabulous if they could have stressed out some of the contestants so much that they would have started crying. Just to let you know, I use to be a Marine, so if someone does not end up crying or puking their guts out, then it was not challenging enough.
While my comments may be harsh, we must understand that the demographic that we are dealing with are not pansies. They love drama, stress, conflict, and blood. After all what is the #1 show on SPIKE………….UFC. Enough said.
