THANKS QVC for ruining PROJECT RUNWAY

Cashmere — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:20:37 GMT

I can't believe that QVC sent out an email this morning announcing the winner of Project Runway. Don't they know that many of us DVR the show and watch it when convenient?

When I checked my phone this morning and saw the title to the email I exited out of my email quickly. Fortunately, I didn't see the winner's name in the Q email. I recorded it last night because I was out, and I just finished watching the final episode a few minutes ago. I also avoided the Q's website until I watched the episode.

With social media today there is now way to avoid spoilers.

I didn't even need to watch Downton Abbey last week. I knew everything that happened long before it aired here in the US.

Haha! And I already know how Sherlock faked his death!

If the episode had already aired, it no longer news, it's history. Do you really expect it to not be discussed until you get around to watching it?

Don't tell!! Don't tell!! I have an idea about how he did it but have been avoiding all things Sherlock so I do not find out. I'm afraid I am going to turn on the computer and see a spoiler. Can't wait for the next show!

I have to admit I went looking and submersed myself in spoiler sites for a good two months. My friends were going "don't say a word!" At least they let us know in that last episode that he was really still alive (although we knew there was a third season planned).

PBS is having a special one hour pre-Sherlock show after Downton Abbey this Sunday. I've of course already watched it online (I used to unwrap and re-wrap my Christmas presents, too -- I can't stand not knowing!) and it's really good. You'll enjoy it! Very well done.

Exactly! Besides it's just a TV show.

Thanks for the info! I did not know about the PBS special. DD told me today that we are "Holmesies." That is her name for people who like Sherlock. My family and I have watched each episode at least three times just to make sure we did not miss a little something. I love that show!!

Shawn and Isaac talked to the guy on the phone on Monday's show.

Underneath his name on the screen it had.....Winner of Project Runway All Stars. Sounds as if that was a dead giveaway. Did anyone else see that?

I don't watch the show so I don't know what day the show airs or when he was announced as the winner.

I was laying in bed reading and didn't pay much attention to the graphic beneath Seth Aaron's name when he spoke to Isaac and Shawn. I just assumed it was in reference to his Season 7 original Project Runway victory.

As for spoilers it's always been at your risk for VCR and now DVR and stream viewers that they will hear what happened on program they plan to watch later before they get around to it. The show has an air date and time after that no one is required to maintain secrecy for the benefit of anyone. It's rather a self important attitude for one to have IMO.

MathisFan, My text notification is Sherlock saying "It's a text, I've got a text' from Scandal in Belgravia! :-)

I have the DVDs of the first two seasons and have watched with the subtitles on because it's so easy to miss what they say with their rapid-fire quips and accents. I also learned that some things get lost in the translation -- for example, when they are sitting in Buckingham Palace (again, Scandal in Belgravia) and John asks Sherlock "are you wearing pants?" In England, "pants" means underwear. :-)

The pre-Sherlock show is available for viewing on the PBS site if you want to watch it early.

Yes. Please don't say anything. I can't read my London newspaper because I don't want it to spoil it for me. Sherlock is on Jan. 19th at 10:00 following Downton Abbey.

I always stay away from news and spoilers. What I didn't expect was a spoiler in my morning QVC email. Call me self-important.

Life in the fast lane. You have a computer, you have email and you have a DVR. Nothing is perfect.

Scandal in Belgravia is one of my favorite episodes. Looking forward to Sunday's episode.

I've learned to be very careful with this kind of thing. If I DVR something and I don't want it to be spoiled, I avoid reading everything - social media, emails that might mention it, everything. Even then sometimes I've had surprises ruined.

I think we have to know that holding onto something to watch later is definitely a "do at your own risk" thing. It's completely to be expected that talk about it is going to be all over the internet and elsewhere once the show airs.

I kept wondering where all that stuff on the QVC wall came from. I sure don't see stylish items like those anymore on their shows.

Are you kidding are that that stupid??? That is insanely stupid and thoughtless on QVC's part, but you know, it is all about Lisa here.
