A Journey With Frodo - Chap.53 - 'Elijah Wins a Bet'

[not_alone]

Finally I can post Chapter 53 after much trauma!! So much went wrong while I was working on this chapter including at one time losing all I'd done and having to start again!! I did almost decide to scrap it at one point and go to whatever comes next! I thought perhaps it wasn't really worth giving this one tv show a whole chapter especially as

I always enjoy your new chapters, but today, especially so as I don't recall reading about either of those interviews before. Thank you for all the work you do!

Thanks Addie - I'm glad to know this was something new for you. karin_woywod has included some more pics from Wetten Dass in her comment:)

Oh, nice. I never knew what the Wettan Das show was about before, so thanks for the transcript. I don't know how he wasn't dead on his feet after all the press tour he'd been doing.

Thanks for including these details. Sorry you lost it that first time!

Thanks Prim. I'm sure if he'd known what he was letting himself in for with that show he'd have had second thoughts!!

Thomas Gottschalk has been famous for running ' Wetten dass . . . ' overtime - almost every time !

:o)

Sadly, I never saw the show except for the Osbournes part that had been uploaded to YouTube. How embarrassing ! How, as a journalist, (especially one who sometimes lives over in Los Angeles himself) can you not know that Elijah is friends with the Osbourne kids ?

If you don't do your own research, then at least make your team of people in the background do it properly !

Anyway ! Thank you for your double efforts !

I didn't know TG lives in LA!! So yes, he should have been aware that Elijah was friends with the Osbournes.

Many thanks for the pics Karin - there are some there I don't have. I've added an edit at the end of the post to guide others to these, also mentioning it in my replies to comments:)

Thanks for adding these, Karin :-)

Oh wow, I didn't know you were still working on this wonderful story. I have a ton of chapters to catch up on since my very very long LJ break. Thank you for this. I had never seen this show before or read anything about it before.

Ha ha! Yes, I'm still slogging on with it after all these years!! Glad this chapter covered something new to you and hope you manage to catch up!! Many thanks for commenting:)
