To Tell the Truth!

I was always the class clown in journalism class. I had a cell phone camera and a copy of Adobe Premiere that I torrented, so one weekend I got some friends over to look at the script I had written over the course of the lunch periods that week. They thought the premise was funny (it was an outright crossover of characters from those three), so we recorded it, and I took it to school to show my friends. Believe it or not, they liked it

I thought it was a bit cheesy.

The actual broadcasting bit was a dare from my classmate that agreed to be the fall guy for it, so when I was supposed to switch over to our sportscaster—we had lost a close football game with a rival by one point—I put on our silly recording instead so the school wouldn't have to hear how we were so close and yet so far. The comic relief was so worth it...

I kept the basic idea behind Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 crashing on the island as well as the island's security system, but other than that, only Jack Shepherd was kept from Lost. A lot of the humor I was going for derives from the fact that 24 has a character named Jack Bauer, and Solid Snake kept forgetting that both of the other characters we were playing were named Jack as they tried to get off the island. I was going for more of a comedy of errors than a serious attempt at an island survival story.

I

NEARLY

got in trouble from the teacher. I was telling myself "just keep a cool face and she won't notice" while the fall guy fessed up. He had to do some extra work (I don't remember what it was).

I'm personally cold about it, but I'll admit it has its benefits when the questioning gets slow.

Food poisoning. Chicken didn't seem to be cooked properly.

what were you performing?

We had a variety show that night. I was scheduled to do some card tricks as part of my act.

No—I try to be much more discreet than that—but I know a few people heard me.

how did you feel during the performance

Not very. I was still in quite a bit of stomach pain, and it showed a bit in the performance. We didn't have the resources to do anything super elaborate, which probably helped, but I still tried to make it a fun show.

It was about 8:00 PM on a Friday night.

@Contestants: Where were you when you noticed the girl drowning, and how did you notice?
