CHAPTER 11

O n Wednesday morning I got a call from Gina. “Heather was so pleased with the episode,” she told me. “You guys really did do a wonderful job. We’re so happy you got through to the next round.”

“Thank you,” I told her, sitting up straighter for some reason, as if she could see me and would deduct points for being unprofessional. “We’re happy too. Everyone had such a great time.”

“I might as well tell you, the ratings were quite a bit higher than we were expecting.”

I felt a little thrum of excitement. “Yeah?”

“I mean, nothing crazy. I don’t think any of you have to worry about getting mobbed by paparazzi.” She laughed, the sound relieved even over the phone. “But there were some people here in the studio that thought this one might be a hard sell.”

“But…it’s Heather Dale.” How could anything she put her name on be a hard sell?

“And that’s exactly why the network snapped it up,” Gina said. “Heather’s production team originally thought they’d try to sell it to one of the cable channels, travel or home improvement, something like that. It is kind of a niche topic.”

She had a point. Most of the reality shows that made it to network TV were a lot sexier than small town America.

“Anyhow, a few people here at the show were worried.” Something about the way she said a few people had me thinking of Chris and her disdainful, bored expression. “So we’ve been really happy with how the premiere went and the volume of voting we’re seeing.” Take that, Chris, I thought, smiling to myself.

“Well, we’re pretty damn happy to hear that,” I said, and she laughed again.

“Anyhow, I wanted to give you a heads up for the next feature.”

“Great.” I grabbed a pen and pulled my notebook closer to me. Across the room, Andrew raised his eyebrows at me and I pointed to the phone, mouthing the word Gina.

“As we told you last week, we’ll be there to shoot on Friday night. For this round, we don’t want you to prepare anything.”

I frowned. I wasn’t very good at spontaneity. “Okay.”

“We’re going to be looking to see how well your town works together as a team. To that end, we’ll be giving you a task to complete together. All you need to do is have everyone prepared to gather at six PM for further instructions. They should plan to participate in the activity for most of the day Saturday, as well.”

I scribbled furiously on my pad of paper. “Got it.” Shit. I didn’t really like the sound of this feature at all. I felt much better about things when I could prepare my neighbors for what was coming—and lay down some ground rules.

“I also wanted to talk to you about getting some B-roll footage,” she went on. “We’re going to be talking a lot about what each community has to offer visitors over the next few weeks. The camera crew would like to get out to the island
