For those wondering about the fate of Office Tally: I just came across this link on Northern Attack for the temporary Office Tally site – apparently the traffic of the site this week made her web host suspend her account without notice! Here’s where she’s set up in the meantime: http://officetally.wordpress.com/

Also, she gave password and username info to log into OfficeTally: dwigt (password) and dwigt (username).

I just heard this disturbing news: While Rashida’s show DID get picked up (YES!!), it’s scheduled for a SPRING debut!!!!! WTF?!?! That means she’ll be free to be on The Office for a while next season

As far as speculation for tonight goes. I think that Michael will be offered the job first, but then he’ll find out that Jan was behind him even being considered in the first place because she wants to get back together with him and having him in NY would make it easier for them to resume their relationship. Michael will turn Jan down and turn down the job b/c he doesn’t want to be seen as someone who slept his way to the top and decides to go back to Scranton to resume his Regional Manager position. Then Jim will be offered the job, but he’ll turn it down as well because he’ll realize he can’t bare to be apart from Pam and he’ll break up with Karn go back to Scranton. Which will leave the position open for Karen who decides to take the job. I think that would wrap up everything nicely, don’t you think?

I’m so jealous of those of you who are in L.A. and can go to the UCB show with Ed and Mindy – I’d love to see them or any of the other Office cast perform live! I’m also interested in reading that article on Rainn and his Baha’i faith. I just realized that he went to h.s. not too far from me in the Chicago suburbs since his parents worked at the major Bahai’ center in the area.

As for tonight, I am so excited and anxious. I think we will see a new Regional Manager “officially” for Scranton, but I have no idea who it might be! I think also that Karen gets the corporate job but I don’t know where that leaves Michael. Maybe he also gets a job at corporate? If he does, I hope he somehow finds his way back to Scranton quickly next season.

Hope to see you all at GMMR’s last chat tonight!

Great pick on the Video of the Week. That was the perfect music to go with the video. Fantastic!

Can’t wait for the next 7 1/2 hours to go by so we can have our 1-hour finale! Fingers crossed for JAM!

I’ve had this theory for a while…since this season mirrors last season in many respects: Last season we had a kiss in the first and last eps of the season, like bookends-The Dundies and CN. Well, we saw the kiss again in GWH, so does that mean we’ll see anotehr kiss in the finally? Hmmm…

Here’s hopin’!

Kath, thank you for your tireless work-I’m amazed at what you can accomplish while still holding a regular job.

You Braveheart.

As far as speculation for tonight. Well, like cam3150 said, I see the season ending with Jim taking his old desk back and smiling at Pam. The only thing I would add to that is that he rolls his sleeves up. I really don’t know what’s going to happen or how it’s going to happen because these writers are great. Can’t wait to discuss the show tomorrow!

You are totally right. I hate realism, but, John K. has always said they try to make things as realistic as possible, and I am trying not to get my hopes up. But as insecure as I am, like I think Karen is, I would totally put up with being 2nd choice, if it meant being with someone.

The other thing is…..

Karen, I don’t think has any idea how far it really went with Jim and Pam. When Karen confronted Pam in the kitchen and said that she knew that Jim kissed her, and it was no big deal, does Karen also know that Jim said “I’m in love with you, don’t marry Roy?” Karen is messing with a bond that will never break.

that is my prediction.

Jan pregnant? Boob job? All sound pretty stupid, honestly.

Gay Witch Hunt asked the question “when two people find each other, what should stand in their way?” All of season three has stood in their way. How can we not have some JAM payout tonight?

If BJ Novak wrote this episode: All his episodes have great JAM moments, The Fire, Initiationn, Sexual Harassment, etc. I’m hoping BJ doesn’t let us down.

About the multiple endings, I heard it was a ruse and they knew which ending they’d use the whole time.

“I remember we were at the beach shooting “Beach Games” when we read this jam-packed awesome finale script out loud. We were so excited that we almost had another hot dog eating contest.”

I wish I could know what was going to happen tonight. I have no idea how I’m going to wait 9 hours to find out!!! I guess I’ve waited this long so I can wait a little while longer.

I though, based on Rashida’s show getting picked up, that I did kinda know what would happen but with all the talk of a game-changing ending and BJ’s comment that “next year will be different”, I now have no idea what will happen.

My hope: Jim gets the job but, after thinking about it, he turns it down. Karen somehow gets the job and she and Jim decide to do the long distance thing. That leaves him free to regain his friendship with Pam next season and he’ll break up w/ Karen pretty quickly next season. He and Pam will head towards couplehood, maybe this time next year. The final Jim/Pam shot of this season is Jim taking his old desk back and turning to share a smile with Pam.

No idea about Jan’s big news is: it’s either she’s pregnant or she got implants (what with all the talk of her shrunken chesticles and the fact that she was off last week).

The Office is a treat for me to look forward to every week and I feel the same way about reading ‘Office Thursdays’.

I am hoping for Jim to confront Pam about what she said…but not in front of the group. I think Karen should bow out of the relationship. She knows Jim has feelings for Pam, and no one wants to be in a relationship where they were the ‘second choice’. I think even if Karen leaves, Jim will be confused. Maybe Phyllis can use her clever “Dont think, Just say” (like from Women’s Appreciation) on Jim. Maybe that will cause a kiss???? I can only hope!

ps. Feel Better Jenna!

First, totally off the subject, my husband and I got to go to a pre-screen of Shrek the 3rd, and got to hear JKras voice as Lancelot! Let’s just say, I think I know where some of his meaness is coming from this season.

Speculation for the finale: I have thought about this, and I am trying so hard to be realistic. So:

Karen gets offered the job, she takes it, and asks Jim to go with her. He says he has to think about it. This ticks Karen off and gives him an ultimatum. “Be my boyfriend, or Pam’s best friend, but you can’t be both.” Who do you think Jim will choose?

Jim’s reaction? Well, if I had just gotten slapped with the knowledge that I had been ignoring my best friend it would be something like this.. “I’m sorry, I am sorry that I let someone else get in the way of us being friends, because you never let Roy effect our friendship or how much fun we had together. I get it now. I miss you too…” and then they hug, and hugs turn into a kiss…..aahhhhh no, I can’t think that way, realism, realism……

Jan’s big news – Either, A) she is pregnant, B) She has been reassigned to the Scranton branch, or C) she got boob job. Now, I only say any of this because Jenna said that Jan had news that was literally big. And Jenna would know.

GMMR – Thank you for all the wonderful Thursdays. The office would not be the same without you!

(only 11 hours, and 40 minutes until the finale!!!!)

I can’t believe that it’s the finale already…I’m so nervous! This whole ‘they shot multiple endings’ thing is freaking me out!
