RE: 72 Hour Comment

You really should read the comments of each blog. The meat of this blog site is buried inside the comment section as this is where I can answer the questions you are asking.

Ronald asked, “This post was about the 72 hour deadline and why did no one comment about the topic, The 72 hours was a Hose job also more than likely the 72 hours was a couple of weeks, There was no way the guy in so much pain and sick was able to do that amount of work within 3 days and when You left Dorsey they have a gun incase you get crazy and your wife and child are there after that fight, Why all the fake scripts instead of a real one hour of gold mining and finding gold and all that it involves.”

In reply to Ronald Athens from Jimmy Dorsey

“The 72 hour deadline was about 3-4 weeks of filming. It dragged on for weeks. This was a plot for an episode that was made up by the screenwriters and producers that really didn’t sit well with Todd Hoffman. He was not interested at all in playing along with story lines that were developed by the production team. Actually Todd has been trying to fire Raw Television since the day they secured the deal with the network. There was an extremely tenuous relationship that existed between Todd and Raw during the filming because Todd had actually written executive producing rights in to his contract with Raw. Unfortunately in the negotiations with Discovery Channel he was not given production rights as most participants do not even get the opportunity to see the footage before the show airs let alone make any decisions about how a person is portrayed (as with me). Todd told me many times that even though Discovery did not give him producing credits he was able to review the cuts that were sent to Discovery for final editing. I never believed that although he spent many late nights at the production house having meetings about something? Everyone knew these themes as we waded patiently through each episode but the production could not seem to get Todd on board with their story lines. Many plots I internalized and it actually became an actuality for me because I felt I could not really act. I had to believe the lines that they were feeding me to be able to say them without sounding scripted. The 72 hours became a week which was going on a month and then I felt compelled to actually leave the mine to fulfill the prophecy that I spoke into existence in the hours of interviews about the deadline. Here is where truth and fiction meet in a world called Reality TV.”
