It's an Indie so likely they worked out an agreement with SAG to
proceed with the project. Apparently almost any Indie can easily get

I don't know about that as he keeps talking about what sounds like a
physical issue. Like he had some medical issue that had to be
resolved, but then why keep it secret. I'll agree that a psychotic
break might be the sort of thing he would want to keep secret.

Yeah, it's a bad move in any case but especially when the crew members
know there are cameras around that can and will catch almost
everything.

I enjoyed it a lot. They put a lot into it (apparently something like

No, they're saying he "went" on camera, so it wasn't like he was caught
in an unguarded moment. He was flat-out drunk.

What the hell is a "sexual advance"? He crawled into the bed of a woman,
drunk or sleeping it off. He was naked. Producers tried to get him out
of her bed. He locked the door. It says they got him out of her room
later but doesn't say how. Later, they got him off the yacht and into a
hotel room.

I'm sure she'll sue even though people were watching out for her. She was
so drunk she has no idea what might have happened.

I know but for some reason I keep picturing Braeden on the back of one
of those jeeps. Guess it's one of the hazards of remembering something

I confessed to her that I intended to watch it because Alexa Doig, but we
found out that she was going to be an early casualty before I ever got

I I RC he got to ride in the jeep a few times in very special episodes. But

At least not the cute ones.
Mostly, she seemed to be fired because she didn’t hate the other guy that
was fired enough.

I'm kind of watching it. The TiVo records it and months go by between watching
episodes, but I'm slowly getting through it.
