The Great American Dream Vote: ABC Pulls Ratings Nightmare
The premise for The Great American Dream Vote was that the audience would choose which contestant deserved to have their wishes and fantasies "magically" fulfilled. It could have been a good deal for contestants, but ended up being not so good for ABC. After only two episodes, the Donny Osmond-hosted reality show was making their audience disappear.
The sneak preview episode (which followed the Tuesday edition of Dancing with the Stars) lost over 11 million from its lead-in, leaving fewer than six million viewers. The second night was even worse, attracting less than 4.6 million. As a result, ABC has pulled Dream Vote from their schedule effective immediately. There are no plans to air the three remaining episodes.
Maybe the studio audience didn't know how to vote...but the folks at home sure did!

About Me
- GuRuth
- I am the first Cultural Strategist in Texas, in fact I am the only one in Texas! In the years spent developing iCREATE, I've used my deeply-held values in alignment with my compassion & intellectual curiousity to create profit in both public and private spaces for a wide range of constituencies. I speak, teach and consult internationally with a mission to inspire my clients to live their best lives by working with them to identify touchpoints that engage them on their personal path towards success, satisfaction, and connectivity. I love nothing more than to explore the diverse topics inherent amongst culture, commerce and community...and then develop projects articulating how all those elements work together as the basis for sustainable growth based on shared values. My life experiences have led me to admire the insight of Albert Einstein when he said "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."

Howdy,
I am a filmmaker in Chicago and have shot at Harpo many times (pre-Oprah). Everyone wants to be on her show of course.
My friend Brenda Anderson wrote a book I think you will like. It's called Playing the Quantum Field. You will like it Check out the acknowledgments and you will see a certain dumb filmmaker mentioned.
