Well duh I wasn't interviewed because as I openly explained in simple English (that you didn't mention) I withdrew as I could see it was not going to work.
How you've managed to twist the postings of a production company on Tnet looking for story content into it being a 'contest' shows a lot about your thought process which I'm sure they'll pick up on the more they talk with you.
I will point out that one of the requirements specified was there had to be some historical proof behind the stories they wanted: not just the tired old legends but something they could work on.
If they were happy with what you've displayed on this thread as your, er... proof, then they've ditched that requirement as they really are struggling to find enough content and, remember the Grade Z bucket?, they've emptied that and have turned it upside down now to see if anything was stuck on the bottom.
It's at this stage, when they go back for a progress meeting with the channel and it becomes known their interesting new show is not really living up to how it was pitched that things go boing.
I can see a problem and my advice is silence is golden because if, from the postings you somehow comprehended you were in a contest, then the real meaning of "We really, really like your work and we have a few issues to sort out first so we will get back to you" might evade you.
