Oy with the poodles already.
Before I even watch, I will say this: I said when Jonas offered a test that there was no real thing they could do that would prove Jonas trustworthy and that his offer was ridiculous. Therefore, it is totally unsurprising that they are offering a test.
EDIT: Now that I watched it, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I loved the shout out to the fans, very much needed, and also the whole giving information to a fan and having them decide. That would make for some actual real interaction. However, it wasn't actually made clear to me what that whole thing was about, they are giving a "time and a place" to that forum member? They will decide? Whatever the case good idea, UNLESS said forum member ends up being some random puppet that suddenly comes out of the woodwork at the phorums to represent the everyfan. That, or the fan ends up being twjaniak. Either way, that'd suck because it'd be them just "keeping it in the family" like they always have. This could be a good idea for once guys, don't mess it up. Again.
(My bets are on Nikki as the mystery fan.)

OK so this is exactly what the creators were talking about...audience participation.
or
OK the creators have written themselves into a corner so tight thaat they are asking the riff-raff for suggestions on how to get moving
Either way...as long as it MOVES THINGS I'll be happy

Always loved DB solo vids. I liked this and hope they send a message to the original LG15 fan.
Yes...... Boris.

The fan is female -- I also lay odds on it being Nikki.
I think the most awesome possibility would be for it to be Alissa, though.

OK, I did a little research into this holly and I've posted at the forum some extremely biased statements Holly has made. She's a total Jonas lacky who has made references about wishing she could stay over with him, etc. OK, so if they picked a forum member to make the decision about whether to go to Jonas's or not, and said forum member has made statements wishing that she herself could go stay with Jonas... hmm I wonder what the outcome of this will be?!
That short ray of hope has been trashed, I'm pissed off again.
EDIT: Apparently there are only minutes to decide. This Holly says she wants to be objective and won't let her bias sway the judgement, she will do what the chat room agrees to. She doesn't seem to be one of the Creators, and while she could be in on it and I'm sure it will end up pro-Jonas, this might not be a complete hack.

so...how did they pick holly?
was it based on # of posts? or random?
or is it possibly they picked the most pro-jonas person they could find....

It's also amusing that she is the person who waded into the Shark Jumping thread there to post "I have alway liked lg15, and always will," which generated huge discussions about how people should not just blindly consume things that go bad. She's in the official chat now, though, doing her best to interact. But it's pretty clear the answer will be JONAS. |

It seems that the creators made a good move with this,
they posted a video and isolated it to phorum people (the latest vid on youtube is still the anti-cribs one i think)
and then they took a character that many people disliked and gave up his inclusion into a vote
there by removing the blame for the character from themselves to the fanbase.
they also had a good move in doing this with A) ppl would rather they go to jonas then spend another video not doing anything on the street and B) the spokesperson is strongly jonas biased.
finally they did this in a way that it is difficult if not impossible to be able to read the actually % of jonas or no-jonas votes. I think that a poll thread would have been better and to prevent foul play limit it to avatars that had more than 1 weeks worth of activation
over all tho, the creators got their way while avoiding the blame for the final decision and i think they did a pretty good job at it, compared to their other blunders

so what's the deal with khjq constantly talking about how he wants Jonas to be evil? ( only perused the first half or so) I hope they choose not to go to Jonas', but wind up there unwittingly anyway. Holly kept saying that it's pretty neck&neck, but it seems like there were only a few voices of reason. I mean, I'm glad she's trying to seem impartial, but it's not really even a close contest.

This is the 100th video the creators have released as a part of the LG project. (LGpedia lists 98, plus the first two videos on YouTube in May before "First Blog/Dorkiness Prevails")
Happy 100!
