1) The million dollar offer was not offered again on the finale
2) Uri was cut off just before he scored 3) CA worded the entire history of it as if he had challenged JC in the past and JC lost, thus there was no reason to challenge him again - now it was just a puzzle for the American audience. 4) 911 etc. is an old cop out etc. (or things of that ilk). I already posted what DJM said on the Media forums. CA is a bitter young-looking old man. 5) In the grand scheme of things, Angel has way more to lose (and did lose) than JC because CA is a bigger name, more fame, etc. while JC is just coming up,. CA did the cardinal error of attacking someone who is "smaller" (not really, JC, but in the eyes of the media etc) and thus becomes a bully. People with power and clout keep it by exercising it very carefully. --------------------- Jim is a brilliant fellow to not follow the rules of the insane Phenom set up. And the true winner? THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE Which, by the way, was where CA's respect was lost, the show's premise was lost, people's good intentions were lost.... If they do another episode, it should really be called....

Being in the UK (and on dial up no less!) I am a little behind on this, only catching the odd clip on youtube etc as and when I can but JC aside there are 2 other people who are involved in this.
I have seen one talk solely about himself and put out quite a lot of negative energy and another behave with professionalism and only endear himself to everyone present (and watching), this I believe is a lesson to us all and just as important as anything else discussed so far. |

Its a cop out to use it in a 30 second segment - if you are going to use it, give it proper respect - invoke 911 and do it RIGHT. Hence, I define ca's use of it as a cop-out. MG, I am assuming you give more than 30 seconds to elaborate on the impact of such an effect.

But then, if this thing will allow Jim Callahan to be a guest in the next series of Mindfreak (even if also in that show it is doubtful now that some REAL challenge will be set) for Jim this has been a gain more than a loss. Don't you agree?

Well Paolo, given Angel's behaviour to this point, I can't imagine that he will have Jim on his series for any reason other than to make himself look good, and Jim look bad. Angel (or someone advising him)was smart to deflect Jim from the media this time around with promises of something more down the road. If that "something more" never materializes, Jim's momentum re: this challenge is long gone, and the press won't be interested in a "non-story".
If it does happen that Jim is brought onto Angel's show, you can bet that Angel will hold all of the reigns. Since it's his show, he can edit it to look however he wants, or just not air the show it he chooses. Angel has maneuvered things so that it's all on his terms, happening on his turf, under his control. I think Jim could have more power here than he realizes, but he'd have to act on his own terms, and quickly, while the iron is hot. - entity

Entity,
I fully agree. As you probably noticed I wrote that I highly doubt ANY kind of REAL challenge will be set. And, as for the Mindfreak series, at this point - anything can be. But, hypothetically speaking, IF Jim will be on that series, he wil still gain more TV visibility (good or bad, a whole other matter) and IF he will be there, he could well be the only one among the "losers" being there.
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

Yes, Paolo. IF Jim gets on the Mindfreak show, he will gain TV visibility.
There is a school of thought that ALL publicity is good publicity. I'm not one of those who would agree. - entity

I don't think Jim will be on the Mindfreak show physically. I think he may just be mentioned as the guy Criss challenged. I think you guys are reading it wrong. Maybe I am.

Yes, watch the big guys.
Then ask David Copperfield if the current publicity surrounding his name is good for his career. Ask O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, The Dixie Chicks, Marlon Brando, Bill Clinton and any number of others who have suffered because of publicity if it's all been good for them. - entity

This is not a PR stunt. Certainly not by Jim. Have you noticed that in every single interview, Angel has failed to mention Jim by name? He is threatened, as most bullies are. I can't see Angel giving Jim airtime, on "Mindfreak" or anywhere else. He has everything to lose. That being said... it's far from over for Jim.

Seems the confrontation, the challenge and CA was just ignored. I think that will continue.

So what is in the second envelople that will be "dramatically" revealed on the opending show of the new season of Mindfreak? Perhaps it will say, "Weapons of Mass Destruction."
WIth regards to Mr. Callhahn's rope trick, people who are saying that this was Jim's way of showing his humor and light heartedness are assuming that he is the one who actually picked this effect to perform. It is my understanding that other people such as Banacheck has a lot of control as to who perform's what on the show. Perhaps Banacheck selected this effect for Jim to perform either to show Mr. Callahan's ability to have fun or to "reduce" him to a mere trickster using a trick rope. Michael
