Frank's Gone

Robin Black - Episode7

Let me say something about Frank. He's actually a pretty cool guy.

I was NEVER allowed to meet ANY of the VJ hopefuls outside of the studio setting. I am only allowed to see them as competitors, and they are only allowed to see me as an "expert".

The reason, I guess, is to keep a professional distance... I mean, we don't want them knowing that I'm actually a nice guy. We need them to have a little fear, after all.

But, after they are eliminated, I am able to meet them socially, and maybe have a beer. And Frank is an all right cat.

So why, on the show, does he come off like an angry, aggressive, hostile bastard?

Because he became one in that environment. In the penthouse. In the
challenges.

Why?

Trust me. You might too.

You see, you have to imagine being thrown into a building, with 9 other people, 24/7. Together at all times. In all places. Now imagine competing with them, battling with them, for your dream job as a MuchMusic VJ. And imagine there are cameras everywhere. And hostilities. And stresses. Some of you might thrive in that environment, like Erik is, and Nikki is starting to. Some of you might try to make it fun as best you can, like Sean (usually) does. Or some of you might just lose it. Like Casey Jo is starting to. And like Frank did.

But, I am realizing, that this vj search is a very well developed test. The challenges test them, we test them, and, perhaps most of all, the show itself tests them.

And Frank reacted to all these stresses in the only way he knew how. He attacked back.

You might too.

But, if you did, you'd be off the show, just like Frank. Because, to succeed in a great environment like MuchMusic, you have to be able to handle stress. In fact, you have to thrive in it. And want more.

Hmmm, what else.

I am STUNNED by the way they all attacked Erik tonight. Sure, he's been irritating before, but now they all just seem frightened of him. They talk about him constantly, and it makes you kinda think that they are just scared.

Sean is doing pretty well, I think. He WAS a bit bitchy tonight, but,
overall, he has worked really hard and done well. He is becoming so much more than just "The Gay Guy". Good for him.

Nikki still bores me a bit, but keeps getting better.

Casey Jo is LOSIN' her cool. But I still thinks she has promise.

Tim has SO much, but he has to step it up. He HAS to. C'mon pretty boy. Show us what you got.

I was just typing, thinking "oh, who else is left?" when it hit me...SH*T, we're down to FIVE!!

And, I have to admit, I really feel like we have the right five. I really do.

You may disagree. But you'll get your chance to choose.

Right now, we're doing the best we can.

Oh, and HEY, thanks to everyone for all your feedback. I really appreciate it. I am honestly really enjoying working on this show, and I really value your thoughts.

And, judging by your comments, it seems you will all agree with us sending Frank off the air.

Good luck, Frank.

Rock on all!

Comments

Okay, hmmm...I lost A LOT of respect for certain individuals tonight.
You're right though, they all bring something else to this competition and have different traits that would make them fantastic at this job. However, from the beginning, Sean had my attention, more than the rest. Tonight he REALLY disappointed me, he was whiney and talked REALLY badly about certain people, which surprised me coming from him. Casey-Jo, Lord, every week she gets worse and worse. What she did tonight, was BAD, even if she wasn't doing this for a career you should never say things like that about people, especially in public and when they can still hear you. Nikki, did better than usual, kind of bland, but she's a great leader, that's for sure. Tim, did really well and for once he felt taken advantage of, so he responded. However, some of the things he said, like talking badly about Erik, really disappointed me. Now Erik, this is the first week he SERIOUSLY impressed me, I was stunned, well you know, until he called Sean a girl. Originally, I didn't think that any of these people could be a GREAT VJ, as said in my previous posts. I'm not sure now, what I think makes a great VJ is really hard to find in someone. Now, I truly believe that either Erik or Tim would be as great as they get in the field. Erik is fucking AWESOME infront of a camera and he can relate to musicians. However, Tim has the knowledge, the look and the people skills for this job. Anyhow, I think you're doing a 'fabulous' job as Sean would say. Haha, keep on rockin' Robin and good luck with the upcoming tour. All the power to yah, ciao and later days.

Bleh, no problem in responding to your blog, it's actually fun for me, and I look forward to it every week.

It wasn't that I thought Frank was a bad guy, despite the fact that he irked my chain; he just didn't represent the type of VJ that I wanted.

Thank you for finally giving Sean just a tad of the compliment he deserves, and he does deserve more. He is more then just 'The Gay Guy.' Now if only you can say that on air, and I'm satisfied. I was disappointed that you didn't defend him when he was making his speech. I also don't think that he was bitchy, yeah he talked, but that doesn't mean you’re bitchy or whiny. He is right, Erik is an asshole to him, even /I/ can see it and I'm not there watching their every move and everything. Jeez.

Nikki, she stepped her game up. Good for her, maybe my hometown girl will make it into the final, I'm still not sure though.

Casey-Jo, man, I wanted her to go just as much as I wanted Frank to go home this week, hence me saying that you guys should send more then one person packing, but did that happen? Noooooo of course not, though I do realize that you can't, but still... I really think she's letting her performance level slip each week.

Eww, puh-lease stop calling Tim 'Pretty boy, and 'Clearly all the girls think he's cute.' Do I no longer count as part of the female population!? Gah, it drives me insane when I hear comments like that, stop saying/ typing them, puh-lease, for my sanity. He DOES have a lot of potential, and I do think he might be able to make it, but I'm still rooting for Sean.

Erik, one word, slimy. No, scratch that, I've got a bunch of words. Eww, gross, disgusting, jerk, ass hole, annoying, arrogant, I could go on and on and on, but I'll spare you. The fact that you could even think he did well this week stuns me. He was, is, and forever will be terrible. He takes other peoples information, and then turns it into his own, and I am so sick of it. That doesn't mean I hate him, I just don't want him being the next MuchMusic VJ. And if he is... I am truly going to be very disappointed.

Regarding this weeks challenge. I have to admit, I attend more then my fair share of shows, and not like hip-hop stuff, rock shows emo, screamo, whatever the fuck you want to call them. And the black one was cool, but like they said, that's a RETAIL tee shirt, not a TOUR one. Jeez, come on, they should really have known better. I /always/ pick up the tour shirt, I want something to remember it by, and then sometimes I'll pick up one of the retail ones. I like the design of it, but like you said they, Casey-Jo, Sean, and Frank, made it /way/ too complicated. And they made a big mistake in not putting the tour dates on it. Yeah it's cliché, but that's what most people want they go to a show, something to remember that night by, I thought everyone knew that.

At the same time, Tim, Nikki, and Erik, made the wrong colour choice. Yeah, I want to get signatures, but I do /not/ want a WHITE tee shirt. Eww and yes I am speaking from personal preference, but still, white? It's too bright, you could go with brown, purple, anything but black, and sharpie’ll still show up.

Tim was right. Erik is stealing other people's ideas, like I said before, and it needs to stop. I am so sick of you guys seeing him as this great guy. Smell the coffee, or your beverage of choice. He's that little we kid we all knew when we little. The one that acts all sweet and angelic in front of adults, and is a total brat when the adults leave. You along with the rest of the 'Experts' and the other kids being the other wannabes.

Anyways, that's it, for the moment.

Hey Robin,

Truth be told, Im only posting a comment in here because I know you read them, or at least someone with the name 'Robin Black' Responds every once in a while.

Anyways, onto more pressing matters.

Some things I agree with you on, others I feel the need to question.

First off, I was wonderind how much footage you guys see? Do you see everything, or limited amounts?

Iv had a chat with Casey-Jo and Nikki, and they both seem to agree upon the fact that Erik is a very different person on camera and off. Tim made his whole blog in regards to Erik's antics, and I have not yet read Sean's. However, when all the other contestants are putting forth the same story about one, I think its a sign. I do not believe that this is out of fear that he may win, I know that these contestants are genuine (From a personal level).

Skipping ahead to Casey-Jo (Yes, I am a friend and a fan indeed). I do admit that she has slipped off track a bit since the haircut, but however not in the ways expected. When Casey-Jo got the haircut you specifically said that She needs to get past it, and she did. The Casey-Jo we saw on episode 7 was not lingering in the shadows, or sulking about her hair, she was confident, energetic, and on the ball, just not in the best of ways. Erik has been praised for attributes similar to these, why was it used against her?

However, Erik is not going to win, if we have the final say as it has been claimed. Hey may have given off a professional and prosperous air to the judges, however to the viewers he comes off as an ass.

I think once the other contestants realize this, they will be able to let Erik do his own thing, and shine on their own.

I will be looking forward to read your reply, please do not dissappoint me with "thank you for your input, it means alot to myself and the other judges'.

Take care.
Alex

Erm, One more thing which I had forgotten to post in the last (and seeing as how we cannot edit our posts I will have to make this seperate). I understand the conflict with the retail/tour shirts and in a sense agree. However, why is there so much bashing of creativity? This is re-ocurring now, and I am slightly annoyed. In Episode 4 (ET Segment) it was said that a VJ should be creative, original, and do new things. This is why The other 2 groups did not do well, their product was something that we were so used to watching. and I agreed with this.

Then it took a 180 degree turn in episode 5, when Traci flat out insulted the females performance. They did something new and creative, and to be honest it reminded me of the kinds of stunts that the current VJ's are supposed to do for shows such as 'Top 10's'.

To top it off, I remember someone saying 'This is the kind of stuff that much would air'(in regards to the guys' product).

So I will go out on a limb and say that at times you are contradicting yourselves, and whoever did say the quote above, was rather wrong.

Once again, I await your response.
Alex

Hey,

Ok Sean is my fav because he is so freaking real..and unlike stupid Erik hes not all over everyone..he said at the first of the show he liked Casey-jo..um dude you like her but yet you are all over every girl you see..thats gross..and Frank i was every impressed me this week..he didn't get mad at people during the making of the t-shirts, and he was very creative..that T-shirt idea was really cool..i would have bought it...but Erik, ha! where do i start..um he stole tims idea..and Tim is really cool.i have no bad things to say about him at all..and stupid Erik, wants to be the best person ever..i hope he get kicked off soon..please take him away!

Posted by: Natasha at March 15, 2006 10:21 AM

Hey Robin,
Wow, this week was pretty intense. Casey-jo went too far when she went up to Theory of a Deadman and told them Erik was a douche. I'm in junior high, and we don't even do stupid shit like that! But what pissed me off the most was when she said to Frank 'Try to get along with everyone.'. How could she say that when she's going around telling people, artists even, that Erik is a douche? I'm not rooting for Erik,I actually think Tim's going to win, but Erik did pretty good this week.

I agree with Alex, I only comment because you occasionally respond. I hope you respond to this comment.

I can only immagine how hard your job must be.

Anxiously waiting for a response,
Allie

Im pretty sure i know either tim or nikki will win and those 2 r the best choice. Please once again take that annoying iggnorant fuck off the air...thanks robin...

Hey Robin
It has been an interesting soap opera er i mean show so far. I really do like the fact that you are not shy in calling a spade a spade but i am still waiting for it in regards to Eric. You have said in your previous blogs that you saw him for what he really was but yet this time around you defended and praised him. I am sure i am not the only one confused by this. Eric is a player and extremely two-faced from what I have seen so far. You didnt condone his actions regarding Larissa, stealing camera time away from her to look good, so why endorse his bulliness now when he tried to claim credit from Tim? If we (the viewers) are supposed to be the boss then as a direct order: lose that zero(Eric) and give us our hero(Tim)

Posted by: Canadians Rule at March 15, 2006 11:18 AM

Hm well I just want to say , thank you veryvery much for voting off [wow that sounds like Survivor *shudder*] Frank . Yes , I can imagine that he probably is a nice guy off camera and stuff , with his real friends or whoever , but personally [along with most of the country i'm sure] I would not want him as our new VJ .

Now Erik .. I hate him just as much as I did Frank and Larissa . Okay , not HATE , but dislike strongly . I would really not want him as Canada's new VJ . I mean I am not going to be all dramatic here and say "Oh I'll cancel my subscription and never watch Much Music as long as I live everever again if he's the new VJ !" because that is just stupid . I highly dout anyone would stop watching just because they dislike a VJ [Heck , I STRONGLY dislike Leah .. no offense if Leah reads this .. but I still watch Much Music .. even if I do complain alot while watching shows she's on ..ahah]. Also , the fact that he continues to steal people's ideas and take them for his own . Especially Tim's ideas . My god . F*cker . Anyways , pleas vote him off next *nods* .

Who else ? Casey Jo . Okay I was really really rooting for her to win . Along with 2 other people [i'll get to them] , but lately .. I just do not want her to win . What she did this week was very unprofessional . As much as I do not like Eric , that was not cool . And then to make fun of Tim during that one part in the show , well that was just the last straw [I hate when people say that *hypocrite* lol] .

Okay now Sean . Sean was another one who I wanted to win , but now .. I don't know . I don't really have much to say about him . But if Tim doesn't win , I want him to win . ahah .

Nikki , well I don't really want her to win . No reason why really , I don't hate her , I don't dislike her , I just don't want her to win . She kind of bores me a bit .

Now Tim . I agree , Tim is a pretty boy . But I do not want him to win just because of that [although his looks do help *wink*] . I think Tim is the one person who has the most musical knowledge , he has the most potential of all of them and would fit in the best at concerts he may have to go to . He's just perfect for the job . Plus .. can you imagine a show with both Devon and him ? Gah . That would be amazing !.

Okay well that's all of them . Wow only 5 now . Your job is going to get even harder then it already is . But you can do it Robin , you are doing an amazing job . Keep up the good work !

ps. I love you . Not in that creepy "i'm stalking you way" just in that "you are an amazingly talented musician that is gorgeous , super cool and has amazing makeup/style" way . ahaha . <33

Donnie D signing in...hey, each week on the show, I can't wait for you 4 judges on-air comments. I wish you had more air time. 'Cause that's where we and especially the competitors learn the most. This is one of the first times where I like all four judges. (Don't get me started on the Canadian Idol judges!!) You know what I like, I believe each of you might be rooting for someone but you really want them all to kick ass each week. I can tell, sometimes you are as shocked at their behaviour AS I KNOW WE ARE!
This week, Casey Jo - I wanted to scream in embarassment {Nevertheless thank God Frank got voted off} but she certainly wasn't the only one - bitch, bitch, bitch instead of work, work, work! Not that they didn't do a good job..actually I thought they all did. It's their communication and verbal skills that need a transfusion!!! Is it the claustrophobic process? Immaturity? Or is it simply that they don't watch their own behaviour played back on tape? This I don't know (maybe they do watch the show).
I say this about Casey Jo but I think she'd make a kick ass VJ if she gets her focus back.
I did not think that Eric did a great job. He was ok. Remember, he got PICKED by Nikki for the 2nd part winner of her team. THat was odd when certainly Tim was superb and focused. As was Nikki herself..she's really come out of the closet in terms of nice. I mean, even when Tim finally stood up for himself, on the hot seat to be judged, she got defensive, are u saying I didn't hold up my own? blah blah blah. Lord, Eric is a master at this game..make the underlindings do the work, argue and take all the credit and win the prize. Ok, yeah, I know in the real world that often works as well but with viewers the camera doesn't lie!!! My friends would say Eric is gorgeous as Traci does, but it gets tired very fast - got to have more folks than just a pretty face. So moving beyond that, as the top 5 all look great on camera, what about their on camera skills? Well, I think Eric would do well with a telepromter. He has great energy and a desire to please which interviewees love. Sean, well I'm gay too and I've been doing a weekly tv segment since Sept and it's even Queer focussed but I don't know if I ever talked about being gay myself 'cause I'm so tired of it. I've had more than 40 gay guests and we talk about THEIR talent. People say it's great 'cause I don't focus on me. I'd say, Sean, step up the game...you can do it. Don't get side-tracked by labels or yourself. Focus on the job at hand. The job is best vj not most fabulous contestant. (If that later was the case, surely you'd win).
I do think you have a great top 5 now. If Eric doesn't screw up (by trying to screw someone, anyone, all of the following..ie. MOLLY, her assistant, groupies, etc etc) in LA, your judges comments should have raised the game with the other 4 contestants to truly make picking the one voted off next week more difficult then it really has been so far!

Posted by: donnie d [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 15, 2006 03:13 PM

I just wanted to say that I love how you never hold back on speaking your mind, and I must admit I have a bit of a crush on you for that.

I am truly relieved that you got rid of Frank. He was a person who couldn't handle that environment from the beginning, and I'm glad you did what you knew you had to.

I am rooting for nearly everyone save for one person: Erik. Even if he posessed the skills to be a remarkable VJ, he has an uncouth personality. He's obviously arrogant, but he's also very much sexist. All throughout the show I have tried to like him, but his autographing of women's breasts and inviting them up to his hotel room when he was on the job is highly unprofessional and just downright base. Why did no one point this out?

I would like it if anyone else would win. Even Casey-Jo, which would be a surprise; but Erik I just cannot tolerate, and I can completely understand why everyone is complaining. Please take this into account and call on Erik for his actions.

Posted by: Peaches [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 15, 2006 03:29 PM

hey there Robin

even though i have just watched all the episodes for the first time everyone did the right descion with Frank. but there are 2 people who have just gone from all right to completely no i don't want to see them. those two are Erik and Sean (sorry to sean). the reason i chose these to is cause Erik is a rat kinda and rats never win not only that he takes agrssion out on anyone who opposes him. and Sean is just being a drama queen which no one like these days.

everyone else imporved alot and deserve to be a vj. they seem to get along well and they all hold a brilliant amount of potential and would thrive in the Much Music enviroment working with other people.

Hey Robin,
I really respect your honesty on the show. I'm cheering for Tim, but I think you should be a lot harder on his nice-ness. He deserves that job more than anyone else. You have the best opinion and give the best advice. It's funny when you get angry, because of course you're not really like that. I am so glad Frank is gone, it was well past due. He treated everyone like shit and YES...He was a fake. When it comes down to the final 2, I hope to see Nikki and Tim....As hard a decision that would be to make. Anyways, love the show.....

Posted by: simpleplankk [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 15, 2006 06:44 PM

Actually Robin i don't like the fact that you guys cut Frank. I was really shocked that you didn't cut Casey-Jo, did you not see what she said to Theory Of A Deadman about Erik? She told them that Eriks a douchebag just before he interviewed them. She acted so immature and also acted like such a bitch, if you wanna know my opinion, i think that she's VERY fake. She fought with Erik and all, especially when she lost the competition, and when she faced you guys she acted all innocent and as if she didn't do anything wrong when really she was fightin and talkin A LOT of shit. I was pissed that you guys cut Frank instead of her, Frank really does have what it takes to be a VJ, im sure that if you gave him another chance that he would've improved even more cause he really did improve this time, but Casey-Jo on the other hand does not have what it takes and she's just getting worse, atleast from what i see. She really acted rediculously immature that day and i don't kno what you see in her. I liked her at first but now im seeing the real side to her and its not good. I think that the only real "professional" left in the penthouse is Erik, yeh sure Nikki's good too, but i really think that Erik is gonna win this thing. He has busted his ass , i think, and i really think that he's the man for the job. Anyway just please don't make the same mistake next week, get rid of Casey-Jo she's bad news Robin im tellin you, when she doesn't get her way she acts like a little bitchy kid. Do the right thing Robin, Peace

I find it really interesting that you think that because they keep talkin about Erik that it's because they are scared, you may be right, he knows how to play the game well, the judges seem to think so, but I mean I'm not on the show and I can TOTALLY see what everyone else is, so I don't think it is just intimidation from a good competitor, he drives me just as nuts and I have nothin to gain. I dunno I agree with Casey Jo when she says hes a douchebag, from what I've seen hes an all around ass

Posted by: Bextah84 [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 15, 2006 08:40 PM

Hey Robin!
I just wanted to let ya know that you are by far my favourite person on the expert panel. You are never afraid to tell it like it is and I respect that. It's good to know that there is someone who is willing to give sh*t to those who deserve it. Anyway...

In the beginning, I was really rooting for Casey-Jo, but after pulling such an immature stunt, I kinda wish she was booted off! I was also surprised to find that Erik impressed me. When he was doing his interview, he acted very professional. I, just like many others, am glad that Frank is gone. He always seemed to be fighting with someone!And drinking on the job TWICE! C'mon! He had to go. I think that along with Erik, Tim, Nikki, and Sean also did well this week. I have to say though, Erik's comment about Sean being a girl really got under my skin. None of the finalists are in the position to judge one another and taking a stab at Sean was pretty low. Well that's all for now! Keep doing what you're doing and maybe we will end up with a decent VJ!

Reflections on the Show

Today (March 15) is my birthday, I had the day off, and I watched the MuchMusic VJ search marathon. I must mention that I went out for dinner tonight so that nobody thinks I'm a total couch potato. But, eh its my birthday I deserve to be lazy.

Watching the shows over again I picked out some things from previous episodes that you don't catch when you first watch them.

Its a little late for me to comment on this but I've never got why the bottom 3 have to make a plea when the judges have already deliberated and made a choice. I guess its to add more tension in the house because they are made to single someone else out who should be in their place. I'd rather see more of the judges deliberation than the lame pleas.

Sean has done well in the challenges but he's a little more emotionally driven than I'd noticed before. He does spaz a lot. I like it when Sean spazes and still has a sense of humour about him. Like, he said he wanted to plummet to his death, that was funny. But when he goes quiet and sulks you know he's really tired or pissy.

I have to say something about Erik. He is playing it more like a game than a challenge. What I mean is he loves to give himself credit he doesn't deserve. Numerous people have called him when he is taking credit for their ideas. I personally don't think thats cool. I really would like to think of this show as more of an intense and bizarre job interview than a contest or game. I honestly could see Erik as a VJ, but not after we viewers have seen so much of what hes like outside of the job. He has been too exposed and I can't say I have a lot of respect for him after all that I've seen. I completely understand why they ganged up on him. He has done well but his means are very questionable. Taking credit for someone elses ideas and putting useless shots and clips of himself in stories because in his words "its whats best for the group" thats sketchy.

Overall I'm happy with the top 5.


Thanks for listening Robin Black.

Posted by: Pcakes [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 16, 2006 12:03 AM

Hey again Robin:)

This is my sh*t list in order:)
1-Eric has 2 go! The man does not even possess ONE original thought. He's got nothin'. Behind that crossed eyed face of his, lies absolutely F*ck all. Except the ideas of evry1 else, of course. HE SUX!

2-Casey Jo the Narissa wanna be Drama queen needs to give it up. She has become the very person she b*tched so much about. Ironic isn't it.

3-Michael Jacson, I mean Tim, Has NO Idea who he is, the guy is terrified of himself.

4-Nikki-Definately a beautiful woman, but NO substance. Although, your prodding has done a little good, you're getting to her, she doesnt hold a candle to Sean.

Sean has only made it to the bottom 3 ONE time. That says a lot. Every1 else seems to be bouncing back & forth.

Why cant YOU just be the next vj? I'd never turn off my tv!

My Keeper List:

My 2nd choice was Frank, for vj, I'm sad to see him go.

But If I had to pick a third runner up, it would be Tim, I don't think he's cute, (not at all my type), & when I said he gives the MJ Vibe I didnt mean in the perv way.

He's just too soft spoken & shy. He's terrified of success & it shows. I just blogged him to try to shove him in the right direction & gave him a pep talk on summoning his FULL PRESENCE--I hope to God that isn't all he's got. That would be sad.

He does have potential, so since Frank is gone, I lwould pick Sean & Tim.

Posted by: Archangel_Annonymous [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 16, 2006 04:15 AM

Well Archangel_Annonymous, if your using the fact that Sean only made it to the bottom three once as your guide then lets re-educate you. Tim has NEVER been in the bottom three. Time to change your list.

hey Robin! :)

y do the vj hopefuls have 2 b scared of u? i mean, they can be nervous, but y scared?

y r u bored with nikky? on the show she seems like an interesting person. from my point of view, it would be either her or tim that could b the much music vj.

what's so good about being the bad guy? on the show u said that sumtimes u have 2 b the bad guy 2 get what u want. (or something like that) but if yur the bad guy the audience might not like u. i mean, i know that i hate erik (sorry erik). if he really does sneak around and steal other ppl's ideas, he's THE bad guy. the ONLY bad guy.

can u like, answer these comments, cuz im really asking these questions bcause i really don't know the answers

hey robin!! you are my favourite judge man you arent afraid to tell them the brutal honest truth and that is awesome! I mean your not bitchen too much at them but your doing an awesome job. I just want to say I hope you don't have to kick sean off because he is one of my favourites. I don't exactly think erik and frank were/are doing the greatest. I think you made a good choice with frank but I really think if you get rid of erik everyone else will relax a bit. Man it must be hard to decide as a judge. Good job and keep it up!

Hey Robin
I am still working on my birthday hangover several days later so i feel for ya ;)
How about you bring me on for one episode as a special viewer guest judge and boy between you and me will could bring "Reality TV" to a whole new level. Keep up the good job with calling it as you see it just do me one thing and thats call Eric out on his antics and see if that brings him back to reality.
Cheers

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 16, 2006 05:10 PM

Robin - I think it is great that you actually read all these comments and even answer some.
Please don't take this as an insult because it is meant in a positive way, but you are like the Simon Cowell of VJ Search. Only in the sense that you can sometimes be harsh but you usually tell the truth and your comments are usually correct.
However, as many have said, it is kind of surprising that you have been positive towards Erik.
Read Tim's blog where he states Erik did not even bring CD"s or an MP3 player.
what kind of music lover travels with zero tunes!
Shudn't a VJ love music , all kinds of music?
And, he clearly steals others ideas an has trouble getting along with people.
Not exactly a stunning resume for a VJ.
Punt Eric soon.
Nikki is the one with the most promise now. Tim cud be good but he does not articulate his thoughts well. Casey Jo blew it when she trashed Erik before his interview and I think Sean is a little too "fabulous".
Anyway - keep up the good work!!

I just wanted to comment again ahaha , I agree with 'Archangel_Annonymous' when she says you should be the next VJ *nods* . I pretty much thought that since I saw you were on this show at all , you would definately make an amazing VJ and I and many others would watch Much Music a billion times more i'm sure .

ps. Tim should be the next VJ . I'm not going to go in a big speel or .. spele or .. something [cannot spell] , because I already did up there *points up about a billion comments to mine* , but he should be , if not you . lol . I hope you feel better from your hangover *smiles* <33

Posted by: kissxmexdeadly [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 17, 2006 02:24 AM

Hey Robin
There has been something bothering about the show for awhile now and I just needed to ask you about. It may be a little late in the series now but most of the challenges so far have been aimed at either group action, on camera performance, or something along those lines. Why hasnt there been a challenge directly related to their music knowledge?? I know that it is only a part of what makes a VJ but an extremely important part I feel.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 17, 2006 07:49 AM

OOOPS almost forgot the most important thing of all. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY everyone :P

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 17, 2006 11:31 AM

Hi again, all. Robin here.
Sorry, I still intend to respond to your blogs, but I just found out I'm on MOD tonight, talkin about the VJ Search. Fun, but i gotta go get pretty now.....
Will answer your questions ASAP....

Thanks,
Kisses,
RFB

Posted by: Robin Black [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 17, 2006 04:03 PM

First off, happy Saint Patrick's day to everyone. I hope everyone has a blast.

Just another comment. Why is it that there have been so few 'tests' on the actual music? I know that it's not just about the music, it's also entertainmenty things, but still put the Music, in MuchMusic.

P.S. I am aware that I've posted this in other responses to your blog, but it's irking me.

P.P.S I am aware that other people have made comments on this too.

lots and lots of luv!!1

p.s. haha you dont need to get prettied up.. your already pretty lol
well hope to read your comment soon!!!

Posted by: simpleplankk [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 17, 2006 09:54 PM

Okay, I've got my notes so I can write, rather type, everything I want to type up.

Let's start off with MOD. Your right in calling them pussies, the VJ wannabes, I mean. They don't push back, ever, and that's something ALL of them can work. Now, I'm not saying that they should go and piss you all off, but come on, respond, defend yourself. Jeez, I've got loads of defensiveness that I could share with them.

Gah, I begged you earlier, in my first post to this blog, to puh-lease stop with the Tim's oh-so cute comments. Puh-lease stop... for my sanity.

I am glad though that you said that Sean was awesome, because he is, well at least in my opinion.

I'm glad that you said on air, so those people who don't check out your wicked blog know, that you’re a fan of MuchMusic. Plus, I don't think it should matter if you’re a former VJ or not, there are the artists, and fans that should also be represented on the 'Expert Panel.'

Your comment on the wet tee shirt contest added some humor to the show by the way.

The whole tongue thing that chick could do, was weird, in an awesome way though. Your comment though, that was even better, she looked really flustered hearing that.

The opera thing, woah. That was just... strange. Does that even count as opera?

The kick girl, well it was a good thing you decided not to let her kick you.

Okay, now onto the VJ Search. First off, it IS the best show on TV.

Theory of a Deadman is nominated for Juno’s?!? And my ears actually did hurt after listening to that clip that was slid into the program. Gah, not a pleasant feeling at all.

Tim did come up with the idea for the angel by the way. And Erik's whole comment on Tim having a 'bit of a rocker edge.' What the fuck? The guys a DRUMMER. Full kit from what I've read too. That /was/ Tim's scene, not Erik’s in the least. Erik is the kind of guy I would imagine sitting at a Pussy Cat Doll, or whatever the flip their name is, show. Eww, gag me. That is revolting. But that is Erik's scene, at least from what I can tell.

Tim also drew and designed/designs his bands tee shirt(s). Come on, Erik's comment on Tim needing to know something hopefully on how to design tee shirts was totally uncalled for.

Also, Casey-Jo saying that her team was 'Team number one aka. team winner' just further fueled my opinion that she is just loosing it, and not in a good way, in a train wreck waiting to happen, and we're going to watch it all happen in slow motion kind of way.

'Is it possible to put the wings on the back too' that was Tim's comment, or something along the lines of that. Actually I think it was license plate, not back. Anyways, my point is Erik stole Tim's idea. That is not okay, not okay at all. Why didn't you say something about that? I really don't get it. I also really don't see what you see in Erik at all, I see a male version of Larissa, well kind of. Actually more along the lines of a male injected with way too many hormones, more then a girl, no offence to us girls but we tend to be more emotional then guys.

Casey-Jo saying that putting the skull on the apple would make it more 'hardcore.' Pfft, from what I've seen, Casey-Jo wouldn't no 'hardcore' the music or the style/clothing/everything if it came up and hit her from behind.

Anyways, I'm done, for right now at least.

Ok no more vodka for this kid. Let's try this one more time.
ROBIN, ROBIN, where foreart thou ROBIN???
Hey at least I got the R right the first time.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 18, 2006 06:30 PM

Hey Robin
While we all wait patiently for your response to all the comments above, to pass the time I am going to throw another one at you. As viewers we have the extra priviledge of re-watching episodes to help us evaluate the VJ hopefuls. There may be things that we can pick up on the second or third time watching that you on the panel missed the first time. In doing so for the 49th time I have come to the conclusion that its high school all over again and I think its time that school is let out. It would be nice if the show took a turn at showing their good side rather than this constant pettiness and backstabbing that we are subjected to right now. If it is high school that they are missing then they should sign up for a semester to re-live it again, if not then let them show us what they are made of and why they should have the job as VJ. There is reality TV and then there is reality for the sake of entertainment. Let's get back to basics. It should also be about music as well as how you look on camera. Food for thought.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 10:23 AM

Canadians Rule damn straight.

Except, I would say that it's more like Junior High, way more catty then High School.

But yeah, I do the same thing as you, re-watch the episode, and then come back with something that you missed earlier.

But yeah, when are we going to see them put their musical knowledge to the test?

Oh, and one other thing. I've noticed that in previous blogs, people have been saying that they want the next VJ to like all kinds of music, and have knowledge on that. Would it be oh-so terrible if the next VJ had really intense knowledge of a couple of specific genres of music? Because I think if you were to look at Matte for example, he tends to focus more on the hip-hop, rap, stuff, and music similar to those areas. Anyways, just another thing that I've noticed.

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 11:48 AM

Thanks DeadForLife
You hit it bang on. One can appreciate all styles of music but yet that wouldnt make them knowledgeable in every music style. I think that as long as a VJ is open to different music styles that would be an asset. Here is more food for thought. What the hell does a model/actress have to do with music or being a VJ???????

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 12:02 PM

Oh yeah
DeadForLife, you and me should be guest judges on the next episode and even come up with a challenge for them ourselves.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 12:06 PM

Hey Robin!
Your an amazing judge and Ive been waiting to see Franks ass gone for a long time. Good decision. *thumbs up*. Heres a new suggestion... Eric next please. Like I said your an amazing judge, you and Kardi. Good luck and the experts are always right!
Phoenix

Posted by: Phoenix [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 01:35 PM

Robin
I just watched the last episode AGAIN, and I can't hold back any longer. I know that everybody makes mistakes from time to time and I saw yours. First I must say that you are insightful and a very good "call it as I see it" judge so thats why I am a little confused to your defending Eric. In episode 3 you saw him for what he was and called him out on it yet this time you defended it. Did he bribe you? Is he blackmailing you? Personally I disagree with you this time around but maybe there is more to this story that we as an audience are unaware of.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 02:13 PM

ok Robin will you plz plz plz plz anwser our questions before the next show!!!???
plz!!!
~kari~

Posted by: simpleplankk [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 05:17 PM

I agree Frank was pretty cool on the audition part,but he started to drift in the VJ loft.I started to dislike him,The way he spoke to everyone and started a fight with Erik was certainly uncalled for,Although Erik did not have the right to get involved.Anyway..I probably agree that I'd go mad in that place.Having your challengers living in the same place as you is kind of weird,But hey!It's reality T.V. right?

It sucks that you can't get to know the VJ hopefulls because i really favour Casey-Jo >.>..<.<.She's starting to go mad too(i agree),But you can't really blame her i mean after the hair cut incident and all.Kind of sucks.

It's good to have a expert panel that knows whats going on most of the time.And directly attacks it!Keep it up!

-Nikki

Posted by: Nikki_Like_Woah [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 06:10 PM

Hey Robin!
You totally rocked on MOD! I also noticed that you've got some pretty cool tatooes! How many do you have? Anyway, just wanted to let ya know that you were awesome on Friday!

-Carly

Posted by: Carly [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 09:36 PM

Canadians Rule, thanks for the compliment. Haha, some how I don't think that they would allow for us to do that.

Okay I'll admit I had no fucking idea who Molly Sims, that's the chicks name right? Well I had no idea who she was before I saw the preview for this episode. So to repeat Canadians Rule question what the fuck does being an actress/model have to do with being a VJ? Yes, I am aware of the fact that it's not just music, but entertainment in general, but there hasn't been anything really that has tested these wannabes on music knowledge dam-it! Gah, why not make them sit down and write an essay on music? Or make them do a mini documentary on music? Or SOMETHING.

Phoenix, are you talking about whom they eliminate or everything that they say? The only that I think Robin has done/said wrong so far, was defending Erik, but that's because I think Erik is a pompous asshole, at least from what I've seen. And trust me that's being nice just calling him that.

Nikki, I have to disagree with you. I did feel bad for her on her haircut but that doesn't give her the right to act like a spoilt child. I am extremely finicky with my hair, and would be horrified/devastated if my hair turned out like that, but she could have done something about it. She could have asked them what they were doing before they started to cut her hair, and then she could have said, "Uhhh as nice of an offer as that is, I'm going to pass thanks," or something along those lines. Personally, I always make the choices when it comes to my cut and colour, and she could have done the same too.

Lastly, to Canadians Rule again. My challenge would involve the contestants, a circle pit, From First To Last, and an interview after the show. Pfft, let's see them handle a riled up crowd that goes fucking insane, not to mention the singer jumping into the crowd.

P.S. I am aware of the fact that I've brought FFTL into this in some form or another in two blogs, but they've got a kick ass live show, not to say that Robin Black doesn't, since you guys do. I'm just saying FFTL because it's a different crowd, generally speaking, then yours.

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 19, 2006 10:57 PM

well quite the week....but really, i mean, erik may appear to have this grand potential, but he's just expecting the job to be handed to him....personally im rooting for tim, because he's not some ticking timebomb that attacks people...so what if erik's getting on his nerves? he's driving me mad!! just dont bounce tim off anytime soon, but dont boost erik's ego too hard. you may find nikki boring but she did a good job all the same. and frank did seem like a good guy, and i don't blame him for snapping, but it was a good idea to send him packing. kc-jo needs to calm down...i understand erik irritating the hell outta her...but they are all fighting like lunatics!!! shawn needs to relax as well and re-focus on the tasks ahead. please give tim more credit for keeping his cool out of all of them, he needs his ego boosted! but consider erik for the bottom three next time. if he really believes he has to work for this job, MAKE HIM WORK!! make him feel like his ass is actually on the line;)

Posted by: Chakunga [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 20, 2006 12:45 AM

DeadForLife your way cool not to mention intelligent. I do not see why they wouldn't have the two of us on as guest judges, it is a reality show after all and what is more real than viewers who follow the show and write in about it. My challenge would be to put them into two groups, have two Canadian artists(one up and comming and one established)and do it like the old game show Who Am I where the teams ask the concealed artist questions to try and figure out who they are or even do it like Name That Tune, either way works.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 20, 2006 08:57 AM

One other thing. Has anyone else noticed that when they are all standing waiting for names to be called in the elimination part, that Eric is the only one who stands there with his thumbs in his front pockets. Everyone else has their hands clasped in front of or behind them. Also watch Eric's facial expressions when he is called out on something or getting critisized from the judges. It kinda says it all right there. And finally, R O B I N, WHERE ARE YOU??????

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 20, 2006 09:07 AM

OMG. This is sad. I have known since Friday who is off the air tonight. I wont spoil it for anyone but I think MuchMusic needs to take some steps to prevent this sort of thing from happening again before the end of the series. Not that I expected him to win or anything, just not voted off quite yet. There are better candidates for that I thought. Stay tuned peeps.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 20, 2006 03:36 PM

Canadians Rule, your oh-so rad. No to mention the fact that you’re doing my self esteem good. Your idea is brilliant by the way, I like it a heck of a lot more then mine. You've got a good point on the whole show being a 'Reality' show too.

I too noticed that face Erik makes, and it's the same every fucking time, when people are saying he screwed up, or that he should be in the bottom three instead of the person that's standing in the bottom three. And I too noticed that when he was in the bottom three he did that. And he didn't even give Nathalie a good-bye hug, or say good-bye, at least from what we saw, either! He was the ONLY ONE that didn't. What does that say about his character?

Oh God, it's going to be Sean isn't it? If it is I'll be pissed off, I think he, besides Tim, has been the steadiest so far, and.... Yeah he better not be off the air.

What's shakin? We haven't heard from You in a while! I Have a ? 4 you: Who is it you're going to attack next?
I hate that the show only comes on once a week.

To Canadians Rule:
You have a good point, regarding My list, about Tim etc;
Although Sean has been my fav this whole time, the only thing he does that bugs me (alittle)is speak in the 3rd person too frequently. That's about it. Not an annoying enough thing for me to change my mind.
But Tim's st least my 2nd fav, since Frank is gone, so we'll see. I wish you would just dish the next 2 be eliminated, the suspense is eating me up over here!

Call me EmmaLee, or Ellie puh-lease, you've been using my screen name long enough to know my real name.

What the fuck?

That pisses me off.

I know, I have THREE PAGES of NOTES. It will be my longest reply to any of his blogs.

-looks confused- Which one? The war one? Psh, bring it on! I am ready to fight this one.

PS
Robin...I still say you should kick them all off & be the next VJ yourself:)
At least you would do the job properly:)
anyway I'm off to reach out & hex someone, Love & sqeaks to you & yours:)

LOLOL ok thanks ELLIE. You ROCK :) We are gonna have the BIGGEST anti______campaign and win this one for us. I watched the episode twice tonight and have to stop there if I am to retain my sanity and not talk about it. Thanks Archangel_Annoymous. I just felt the need to point that one out to you. Hey if you all want some entertaining reading where a viewer blogs that he thought Robin was a girl then got to Seans comming at you blog and a little past half way there is one by a dude named Steven. Lemme know your thoughts.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:08 AM

OH YEAH! WTF happened to Robin responding????????????

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:09 AM

Haha, well I heart being told that I rock. Your fucking awesome too.

Yeah I know the feeling, I'm one of those people that replay everything over and over again, so I'm going to have a fucking great time going to sleep, not. Combine that with my insomnia, and I'll get a good three hours of sleep.

Steven Colbert better look out. If I ever find out who the fuck he is, I'll personally file charges of hate crime against him. What a fucking ass hole. To Sean, to Robin, to Kardinal, to Steve, and to Traci. Robin looks nothing like a girl, no offence if that could be taken in an offensive way. The comments he said to Sean were way out of line. I don't care about the right to freedom of fucking speech, he crossed the line. I hope Sean, or some one who knows this ass hole presses charges against him. I can't even put into words how pissed off I am at this ass hole.

Archangel_Annonymous I already posted why it wouldn't be a good idea for Robin to be the next VJ, last blog I think. Robin probably wouln't be able to be both a VJ and in a band of their size and position in the music world. They are both massive time commitments.

P.S. Robin might have forgotten, or just have been too busy to reply.

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:27 AM

OMG gurl YOU DO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lemme just say that I am in Regina and I know Sean. That being said, I am very proud that he made it this far but deep down I just cant wonder if it isnt for the entertainment value for the show. Yes its true that the comments are getting very wild with name calling but I just tend to see where they are comming from and laugh usually. I did respond to that Steve blog and not so nicely either. Thanks for joining the war with me it should be a hoot.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:34 AM

Haha, well thanks, one less person with a death warrent out for me. -cyber high five-

I just hate when people are homophobic, racist, and sexist. NOBODY has the right to be like that. And like I said before, he was being a total jerk to Robin, Traci, Steve, and Kardinal. He act's like he's better then EVERYONE, and I can't when people behave like that, especialy when they haven't even met the person/people, which he oh-so obviously hasn't.

Oh yeah, this war is on. My army is already forming.

Well I'm out, stupid school, but I'll be back, armed with my response to your new blog Robin.

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 09:34 AM

Posted by: satan [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:12 PM

ok, well after i saw the 8th episode, i was stunned. The judges are so horrible. And robin Black is the worst one of them. They are always making horrible decisions. i tought tim and casey-jo were the 2 best and they still kept eric over both of them. Firstly why do they want nikki? shes no good, shes annoying and shes tries to hard to be funny and she is definitly boring. And why are you guys keeping eric? all of Canada hates him we all know hes a fake and a wannabe and isnt in it for the music. We know it, the you know it, so stop bullshitting us and send him home already. i have given up hope on this show because it is full of crap

Posted by: ryan [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:19 PM

Ryan
All of Canada was stunned by the decision made. As an educated guess I would have to say that it was done on purpose for ratings etc. and we do have the option of letting MuchMusic and the expert panel(i use that term loosely) know that theyneed to stick to their word when it was said that we get to decide who is the next VJ. That being said we need to get everyone we know to get with the program and vote Tim back on so that he can win this. All hope isnt lost yet, just a minor detour along the way.

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:30 PM

I was completely devastated when you guys sent Tim home the other day, I thought that Eric should have gone, I am so tired of seeing his face, he is such an arrogant self-centered has-never-been and to top it all off he's a Poser!!!
At that rock concert he hosted he tried so hard to fit in but he stuck out like a sore thumb. Anywho since Tim is gone, my vote is for Nikki she has good stage presence, she gets in there and solves problems between people, she has the best attitude of anyone since Tim and she takes the job seriously, I feel like it's almost a joke for Sean and Eric. I also feel that her personality will come out more as she gets more comfortable with the people and the show and gains more confidence. I feel that you have great authority in that board room when you talk people listen and I appreciate that about you even if I don't always agree with everything that you say. so if your reading this my vote for now and evermore is Nikki all the way!!!!! Thanks for your time

Posted by: EllieBellie [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 12:49 PM

Tim is a wimp.
He cud not handle that interview and Molly Sims had to take over and ask the questions.
Nikki had the best interview by far. Molly Sims said she made it seem like a conversation which is what you are supposed to do.
Robin - what is your problem? I thought you were the best judge but when you asked Nikki why she talked about fashion in her interview you made yourself look dumb. What the hell would you talk about in a boutique, fishing??
Molly Sims selected the location so Nikki went with the theme. It would be idiotic to stand there amongst clothes and ask a lame question like who is your favorite band.
Niki dminated episode 8 and based on the bottom 3, she shud win the whole thing.
If MM lets a bunch of teeny boppers vote Tim back and let him win, it will be a stupid mistake because they will soon realize he don't have the chops for the job.

redneckmofo
We live in a free country where everyone is entitled to their opinion and to voice it. Since you were able to voice your opinion, wrong as it may be, then if the "teenie boppers" vote Tim back on then thats their right to voice their opinion. Robin may have been blinded by Eric's ego but he was right in his comment about Nikki. The clothing boutique was the setting for the interview, not the focus of the interview. If you pay attention to other interviews you would realize this. They do ask other questios besides nusic when interviewing in a music enviroment. As far as you saying Tim was a wimp, put your money where your mouth is and see if you could do a better job. I really strongly disagree with Robin's assessment in this episode but I am not about to call him "dumb" just because his view doesnt agree with mine. This is not an easy process for either the judges or the contestants so cut them some slack already.

y did u guys take frank off:( u should of kept him off.. lots of ppl agree.. n plus.. isnt it the viewers choice.. lots of ppl enjoy watching him.. bring him bak!!

Posted by: x___krissyx [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 03:19 PM

y did u guys take frank off:( u should of kept him on.. lots of ppl agree.. n plus.. isnt it the viewers choice.. lots of ppl enjoy watching him.. bring him bak!! if erik wins.. i will murder sum1.. n never never never watch much music again.. sorry to say but its tru. i luv frank <3
=[

Posted by: x___krissyx [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 03:21 PM

I agree with canadians rule. we should all vote tim back in this. there is still hope that muchmusic may have a good vj. i honestly dont know what the judges are up to, keeping eric is a huge mistake. i think they think it will bring viewers, but it just makes it worse. im sure the judges even realize the huge mistake they've made. i cant believe they give frank 3 chances and tim's first time in bottom 3 and he is off the show. i really hope he gets voted back in (which im sure he will) and then he will win this. all he has to do is get past one episode with the judges and then Canada will vote and im sure he will win. so please everyone vote for tim!!

Posted by: ryan [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 05:24 PM

Fucking hell. Am I invisible. How nice was it for Ryan, Redneckmofo, EllieBellie. I really don't think that was very nice to post about this weeks episode, in last weeks blog. What if some people had come to check it out, and then the episode got ruined for them?

Redneckmofo, first off I would change your screen name, being a redneck is nothing to be proud of. Secondly, do you even know what teenie boppers are? That's the term for people who only listen to a band because one band member is 'OMFGZHEISSOHAWT' that's a teenie bopper, by my definintion and loads of others.

Also I only want Tim because, One, he shouldn't have been kicked off before Erik. Two, I want another TV executive to see him, and decide that he's a nice enough guy and that he could use someone like that for their own channel. Maybe MTV?

Sean's got my vote for the final.

P.S. Someone threw out my three pages of notes, so I have to retake them, and then respond to your blog later.

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 07:06 PM

LOL Ellie, you got spunk gurl. Try to condense your 3 pages down to one and I will do the same and meet you back here and compare notes :P

Posted by: Canadians Rule [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 07:27 PM

Awww, thanks. I'll try, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to, I had started to type some of my stuff up, but it's not even a third of it.

Posted by: DeadForLife [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 21, 2006 07:35 PM

Hey CR:)
I don't even want to read the sh*t about buddy who thought Robin was a girl, I'm PMS'N 2day! The guy would probably kill himself if I started on him about now:)
I already tore someone else 2 shreds for calling Robin a poser, and then looked at my post only to realize I Bitched at the wrong person and I couldn't edit it, which just pissed me off more! It's a Taurus thing, I assume, I go from 0-unload in a microsecond for no apparent reason. It didn't help that I was crazy tired:)

I realize Y Robin can't do the VJ thing, I was just hoping:)
