Lol I was a producer on the show. I suck cause I can't really answer any questions but I will confirm Aaron and Mark are both awesome. Will also buck the trend and say that Emily owns.

The loft is big and fun and the boys sleep in one room and the girls in another.

I will also confirm the awesome comment.

I was a transcriptionist for the show, so I can't say much, except 'yes, this.'

EDIT: Also, Oliver Peck's critiques will never stop cracking me up on account of his own portfolio.

EDIT 2: Holy poo poo Emily's sneer could be its own character.

I thought you were dumbhand because the chances of two people who worked on the show in the same thread... Chatting with Aaron right now, he says hi and is shocked and amazed.

I said it in a PM, but since it's not really ~sensitive info~ I can happily repeat it: I cracked the gently caress up at his commentary, and had to correct so many ridiculous errors in that transcript solely because I was laughing so hard (which makes doing voice-to-text transcription difficult).

Judging by the way the season is going so far, I sincerely doubt the poo poo that had me all :lol: is going to get used, but I'll still cross my fingers and hope at least some of it will be.

Also: Hi!

Three now. Hi thread, hi Ink Master. Maybe one day I'll watch you and see if even more than 2 minutes of all that footage I've run made it on air.

It's usually closer to 50 seconds, if that. I'd imagine it'll be more once they start eliminating people, since they've got, what? Twenty people in it right now? So, the first two episodes are basically none of what we worked on (except maybe the judge interview portions).

Holy poo poo, this thread got real insane real fast and is now much more fascinating than it ever deserved to be.

How tight are your NDAs, guys?

Very, unfortunately. I was honestly debating posting what I did, but it's vague enough to be all right.

So without revealing too much fellas (thanks for being here by the way,) are there any crazy, never-before-done challenges this time around?

I remember season 4 had a scroller about auditions for face tattoos.

Best any of us can say is the typically dickish 'watch and find out.' v:shobon:v

Are you allowed to talk about stuff after episodes have aired?

I'm not sure. I'll have to check with the folks I work with. I'm more of a contractor, though, so I'm going to guess 'probably not.'

EDIT: What I can say is, out of the total of 280 or so minutes of interviews I transcribed for season 4, only 3 minutes (give or take) actually got used. I'd imagine it'll be the same for the 400+ minutes I - and others - have transcribed for season 5.

The funniest part is how much coaching most people need to actually get into the moment, since most producers want the talking heads to speak using present tense about poo poo that happened usually months before.

Reality TV would probably be best served just admitting that it's scripted to be entertaining, because really, most people have boring as gently caress lives. I mean poo poo, my job is sitting on my rear end in my house all day typing and watching reality TV, make a show about that, producers.

I say again: it's a goddamn shame they didn't just let most of these guys play it straight, since their honest answers are way funnier/more entertaining than what's in the actual show. It's the INTENSE OH MY loving GOD LET'S DO THIS RAAAH motif that the show has that totally drowns it out.

Seriously, they could play chill-out music over the entire show, have it be the goofy banter, and it'd easily be 10 times better post-production. Most reality shows wouldn't be able to pull it off, since they're riding on the hammy bullshit, but this one absolutely could.
