John Krasinski - The Office season 1 episode survivor and discussion thread.

***Karen*** · 08-05-2008, 01:36 PM

I think everyone knows how these work.

essentially you vote off your least fave episode until we are left with the remining episode.

1. Pilot
A documentary crew arrives at the offices of Dunder Mifflin to observe the employees and learn about modern management. Manager Michael Scott tries to paint a happy picture, while sales rep Jim fights with his nemesis Dwight and flirts with receptionist Pam.

2. Diversity Day
A consultant arrives to teach the staff about tolerance and diversity but Michael insists on imparting his own knowledge. Meanwhile, Jim struggles to keep hold of a lucrative contract extension.

3. Health Care
Michael doesn't want to upset the staff so he gets Dwight to pass on news about the company's reduced health provisions. Fed up with his nosiness, Jim and Pam pretend they are suffering from a variety of conditions including Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, spontaneous dentohydroplosion, hotdog fingers, nano-robot infection, and Count Choculitis.

4. The Alliance
Michael arranges a morale-boosting birthday party for Meredith and is determined to come up with the funniest message in her card. Dwight wants a pact with Jim to fight the downsizing, and Michael regrets showing off when Oscar asks for sponsorship for a charity walk being undertaken by his nephew, who has cerebral palsy.

5. Basketball
The office staff play a basketball game against the warehouse workers in which Jim shows off to impress Pam and upstage her fiancé who is on the opposing team.

6. Hot Girl
When an attractive woman, Katy, comes to the office to solicit her purses, all of the male staffers vie for her affection. Pam struggles with whether or not to be jealous of Katy's attention.

I wasn't really a fan of Hot Girl for some odd reason, I'll have to give my vote to that one.

Thanks for starting the survivor, Karen

Well, I think Hot Girl for me too. Even though I like jealous Pam, I prefer the other episodes.

So far we've got this:

Hot Girl - 3
The Pilot - 1

Are you eliminating after a set number Karen, or did I miss what it said on the opening post?

***Karen*** · 08-06-2008, 03:23 PM

Jory I normally just leave it for a few days and depending on posting as well. If FF has been slow then I'll leave it for longer.

I'm gonna go for The Pilot too, cuz I love jealous Pam.

Hot Girl - 3
The Pilot - 2
