Emmy Nominations

Top Chef is classy? :lol: /sourgrapes
TAR has hit a little speedbump. I do think that the prevailing winds of "time to give someone else a chance" played a large role in tonight's upset. The episode submitted was born to be an Emmy nominated episode.
But hopefully eyes will be opened by this...and perhaps TPTB will pay attention to some of the many wonderful suggestions in the "why TAR has lost it's Magic" thread.
We want fabulous spectacular locations, and lots of them.
We want heartstoppingly beautiful visuals.
We want interesting and challenging tasks.
And most of all, we want real people who are dying to be on the show, people who spend weeks and weeks polishing a 3 minute video, people who apply and aren't recruited in an LA bar.
We want people we can bond with, relate to, laugh with (and occasionally at), and cry with when they go too soon.
People who love and appreciate the game... not the notch on their resume.
TAR is a brilliant special wonderful show that has been the source of hours and hours of pleasure and thought provoking moments for all of us here.
I continue to have faith in TAR, and the people who produce it. TAR is more than a statue on the mantle, and the ratings speak for themselves.
TAR IS magic, even if the magic needs a seven year polish.
And anyway, all the BEST winning streaks come in groups of seven...so here is to the next seven!! :wine:
But I'll still take a :hug?: :(

let's be more positive into this.
having lost an emmy, the producers would now realize how stale the past two seasons were and should do everything it takes to build it even better.
seriously, tar16-5 was a wrong choice of submission. id rather make them submit the tar15 dubai 2 leg, or the tar16 singapore leg.
maybe the judges of this year's emmy paid attention to the dynamics of tar/or are tar fans.
always remember what tina mentioned in s13, that you need to lose (nel penalty) in order to succeed - or something to that extent. this is a wake up call to the producers to make an effort to upgrade the future seasons
MamaT:
:hug?: here ya go, peach, and I couldnt agree more with everything you said!
georgiapeach:

Cocoa:
