I for one think the show will progress exactly as it did.  They will change nothing.

As a viewer who was "turned" due to that episode being the final straw, I will still watch but for different reasons.  Before it was always to see what they would find and to see if they could catch any evidence.  Now it is to see if I can figure out how they pulled off the latest trickery. 

They could change a lot of things.

Will they take strong measures to prevent even the appearance of fraud or trickery, such as by inviting hardcore skeptics along on their "investigations" and allowing their equipment and clothing to be inspected by those skeptics?

Will they place the data gathered—–video, EVPs, or whatever—-with an independent third party (such as a university physics professor) to make sure it isn't tampered with or altered prior to "analysis"?

Will they finally develop something resembling a methodology for investigations—-such as which devices to use and the sequence they are used—-or will they continue with their seat-of-the-pants, ad hoc approach?

Will they finally develop clear, rigorous criteria for determining the reliability and accuracy of the data they collect? Will we ever hear them say, "Gee, I don't know what caused the K-II meter to light up, but we have no basis for assuming it was paranormal."

Will they ever explain their criteria for determining if a place is haunted or not? I've been watching GH for years and as best as I can tell a place is "haunted" or not depending on how Jay and Grant feel during the Reveal.

Of course, they will do none of these things. All would go a long way toward enhancing the show's credibility, but they would also make hoaxing and evidence fabrication much more difficult. And we can't have that, can we?

If "Collargate" has demonstrated anything, it's that GH has a fanatically loyal core of fans who are eager to accept, without question or hesitation, whatever nonsense Jay and Grant want to peddle. It is impossible to engage in any rational debate with such people, and I can't help but wonder if we're all just wasting our time here attempting to debate the true believers.

I wonder if the Collergate live hunt will come out on DVD, un-edited?  I would think this would let people view it in higher definition.

Someone earlier mentioned they watched it in high definition and you could really see the string when J was "checking" Gs collar.

I have to assume we are a very small minority of those who watch the show, and our opinons here don't matter to them.  Unless our opinions spread to normal viewers more and more.

They have seemed to respond to a few things on youtube after collargate, but I wouldn't think they have someone to read through these forums and get really nervous.

So I would think nothing will change as a result of collargate accept for them being more careful.  If anything it might spread enough by the time the show has reached the end of its normal life cycle.

I don't care that much, if it spread that much really we wouldn't have anything to post about here, and being able to do our own form of debunking will be over.
