[#307]

Ok I signed online this morning to read the blog posts by Jason H and Grant W aka TAPS aka GhostHunters and what do I read about hmmm them blogging about GHI which is GhostHunters International and I find myself very troubled. First off they have made it very clear on more than one ocasion that this is not "THEIR" show that it is not "TAPS" that it is a spinoff of "their" show so what is puzzing me is if GHI is not "their" show why do they care what ppl think about it?

I mean according to both of them which I will post in a min all they did was agree they could do a spinoff in the first place. But yet not only Jason but Grant also want ppl's honest opinions. I dont think thats what ticked me off so much I think what go me going is they mention not so much Jason but Grant this is not "THEIR" show so feel free to bash it if you want to. Now first of all you should feel free to bash taps if you want not that I would but that seems to be where the freedom of speech is taken out of the picture cause I know of several times ppl have bashed taps and have gotten warned and or kicked off their message boards, ok and 2nd of all its like they want GHI to fail its like jealousy or something.. like they dont want a spinoff of their show to over shadow GH. Ok now I will be posting what Jason and Grant both wrote in their blogs today if you like fee free to post how you feel about this just let me know what you think so I can see that I am not the only one that finds this odd

this one is Jason's post
GHI honest feelings.
I have received about 20 pages, that is about 200 emails here on myspace about GHI.
GHI is not TAPS and is not GH, so please remember that.
Our show does still exist at this time as its own separate entity, and we are filming new episodes that start to air in March if all goes well.
We will not be on GHI and have no control over the crew on that show.
Grant and I are not involved in that show, except for us agreeing on it being created.
Now, with that known and the fact that I want honest feelings here and our feelings will not be hurt whether positive or negative because it is not us, please let us know your honest thoughts

now Grant

Ghost Hunters International

So Ghost Hunters International aired tonight. I have received MANY emails with MANY questions about it. If you haven't read my previous blog on it, it might clear some things up. But if you haven't, here are some key points:

1. GHI is not TAPS, they are their own team.

2. We have no control over the crew, where they go, or how they operate.

3. Ghost Hunters is still alive and well. We are currently filming an amazing 13 episode season that will air in March.

4. Since it is not GH or TAPS, feel free to share your unbiased honest opinion.

Thanks!

ok does anyone else dectect a note of Jealousy maybe or the fact that ppl know its not their show I dont know maybe its just me but check it out and let me know what you come up with thanks..

i think its great there is a spinoff of gh that goes to international places. It takes everyone to places that people can only dream of..I think it should be expected that with new faces there will be new ways of investigating.

Thanks Tim and I too agree that there should be a amearican point of view of all the haunts abroad. but what do you think about What Jay and Grant posted about it? I am truly lost over it. Its like they want to be the only ones in the sandbox on scifi if you know what I mean.. Maybe I am just reading it or intrupting it wrong I dont know..

and thats fair but I feel its pretty cut and dry what they meant that its ok to bash and be open and honest about the spinoff show but dont bash or be open and honest about TAPS and or GhostHunters at least thats my take of it. Again Tim thanks for sharing your insight which I for one greatly value... 😉

MsLola.. I agree with Tim here, I too try not to read into what ppl say online. I truely didn't read any jealousy in their statements.
Like Tim said, new ways of investigating will be seen. My personal opinion is I think they think they need better "ghost hunters" in that region, I think think they are right. Most Haunted has ruined it for the "globle" sceen for me... But.. they can keep Brain... wouldn't hurt my feelings at all... LOL (sorry.. don't like that one)

I agree with the other two here. I didn't detect any negativity or jealousy with the show or it's members. I mean no disrespect when I say this but perhaps you were expecting there to be some or were in a defensive mood when you read it so psychologically your mind had you see some when there wasn't. I know of many occasions where this happens escpecially when you do not get to see the person talking and have to rely solely on text to determine an emotion.

As for the show itself (GHI that is) I would watch it for the locations, but from what I saw last night they seemed a bit too jumpy. Anyone else get that?

Lola, i spent most of the day yesterday watching repeats of GH and during it was alot of commercials concerning as they put it gh goes international, which thru the million of commercials they mentioned that it would be basically a whole new team on the internation spinoff and that starting in march is the new season of GH..i know it seems confusing i was, but after commercial after commercial i finally got the drift, so there is still GH the original show and now the spinoff show international which by the way was very cool to go to some of those countries last night, i quite enjoyed it..not as much as livescifi but it was good..

Thank you everyone for your opinions they mean alot.. And just to inform I was not reading it in a difft tone from anyone else sorry but I read what I read. not only Jason but Grant both said "they are not us" so feel free to be open and honest with you opinions so that tells me something right there.

Now please dont anyone get me wrong I will be the 1st person to stand up and support TAPS and how they run things because I am a very big supporter I just think they are getting too big for their britches and they think they are the only fish in the pond. but thats just my take on it.. Keep sharing everyone I truly truly value each and everyone's opinions..

I feel as alot of ppl do that in this type of research that it should be open arms policy the more the merrier I mean I would be proud that there was a spinoff of my show heck I would do a dance and twirl a hoola hoop at the same time. Not get annoyed that I was being contacted about said spin off then open the forum to bash or share opinion of said spin off while protecting my own. Just not the way I work sorry.. again thanks all for your opinions keep em coming

My opinion is, of course they are both envious of the opportunity that this group has to go across the ocean and explore new territory. They are both married men who have responsibilities (family and work) that keep them on the East Coast. Due to this they are not able to just get up and go as everyone knows. That being said of course they are envious of not being able to just take off and go, I would be to. I have been very envious of the times when livescifi has gone some place new or even a place I've been before and I wasn't able to go due to responsibilites that I have, it's a normal emotion. I was envious but not jelous of the group being able to go.
I don't think in their posting that they were asking folks to bash the new show, I think they truly wanted both the possitive and negative opinions of what people actually thought of the show.
I truly feel that both Grant and Jason wish their friends well and want success for them. They may not have strong feelings for the new folks (the lead guy and the new woman) but they have strong bonds with Brian and Donna and i think even Andrew and want only the best for them...Donna

I heard last year that Brian and TAPS did not get along so Brian was going out on his own and Donna was following. Couldn't figure out what he would be doing never thought it would be on TV but rather just investigating on their own. Don't ask me how I got this info....can't remember.

I also thought GHI was apart of GH since it was introduced on GH.
Didn't get the jist of it until I read this forum.....thanks for clearing it up for me. Not quite sure....but I wouldn't think that they would need GH approval unless it is sponsored by ROTOROOTER. Maybe just wanted things to look friendly.....kinda think there might be some concern over popularity....just my thoughts.........Norene

thanks Norene the facts about Brain leaving are a mystery noone will talk about it over on the good old taps boards so I have no clue he left i had heard something that he clashed with several ppl within taps but nothing substanial.. What was funny is I acutally watched a lil bit of it on the scifi site and they never once mentioned brian they brought up donna and what she would bring to the team over seas and andy andrews and what he would bring and the other ppl from over here going over there but nothing about Brian I mean yes they showed Brian and he talked about his experience but that was it. I found that kinda odd since he has suppossedly been friends with Jay and Grant since the start of taps I dont know I hope I will enjoy it though.. Again thanks for your insight..

Hey windsong...funny you mentioned that about brian and donna, i heard the same news but a bit different, i heard brian was not getting along with the group at all alot of conflictions and he left the group not sure if fired or quit, but i too figured he would just start up his own group, and how surprised i was when he showed up on the pre show talking about how he left gh but is back now..i was shocked..and he did talk about how he knocked heads with the group..but i think brian has his own cult following that was disappointed he left, so being global is a great idea, keeps everyone happy..
