Italy Post 06
Is this a trap?
I received a phone call this morning. In my room... Nobody has the number, so of course, I RECORDED IT.
I don't really have a choice, do I? I have to go.

Support Rachel!

We need to know more about who you are Rachel!
It would help us so much in what's going on with THF.
Why aren't they removing you?
Gidget Girl = Darla
Be careful!!!!!
Good luck in Paris.
Second! YAY! Back to bed for me. Just woke up 3:38am here and am going back to sleep for now. :P
ESHAYS.
Top ten?
Wow GG's voice on the recording sounds like Penny Widmore. Probably not her, but still. We did get a confirmation that GG is hooking up with Hugh!
Gidget_Girl is Hugh's love interest!!!

wow this is getting even easer to find them now. it takes you to the sign in first. no looking thats no fun.
She does sound like penny!
Hah! An update while Chucklez was gone! I KNEW IT!
So Gidget Girl sounds like Penny, huh?
I swear I know that voice is her... Who is she involved with?
I think this latest post, shows that we have all missed something.
Did i miss something? I am not finding the user/pass.
oh my god!
Like I said in the other comments, Rachel.
FRANCE.
I have sources.
I guess its going to be an update from Paris. Though I'm not sure what GidgetGirl has to offer in person that she can't give to Rachel (or us) via other media. I mean, she does have admin access to the blog.
I didn't think that sounded like Rachel
So now we know that GG wasn't the one from the beach reccording. It's doubtful that she's PW though...don't want to spoil for those who havn't finished season two...but season 2 isn't over everywhere. I doubt they'd bring PW into the game until it is. Seems like GG may be Hugh's girlfriend from the GWC.?

Its right there on the page..
haha yes! good call pipboy! Chucklez is gonna be soooo mad! Not really *much* of an update though, is it? (still downloading the phone call on dial-up...)
This post has been removed by the author.
Sheesh. Life is rough -- I mean now she gets to go to Paris....
Oh, I had to refresh, nevermind
Paris here we come!
GG, you sound kinda like Penny Widmore - but I don't think its you
Rachel,
Why did you alter Huhg's wedding photo? Are you hiding something?
FINALLY, bit diappointed thats all we got but there we go. I'm in the UK but seen season 2 so guessing I know who PW is, but I don't think its her, Rachel said she fell in love with a married man, perhaps its the woman from the GWC in the photos with Mr Mcintyre?
what if its the dvd that was discussed in the convo on the beach. that might be it. the dvd containing info for mittlewerk, something like that. someone remind me what was on the dvd...

i havent read the post in a few day but why dosn't it say on dj dans site when the next podcast will be. is there going to be no more.
Kaz,
Not much content but its the principle of the thing. See, Chucklez, that'll show you to take care of your body with health and exercise and other junk like that.
what the hell? thanks a lot pipboy!!! sure enough!! i leave and suddenly, rachel appears!!!
By the way have I missed something-who is Darla? is she the one from the record store?
im refering to the "package" gg needs to deliver to Rachel btw
So we're going to Paris, I hope you're already on your way Rachel.
yes, you have to do. I think that you caller is Penelope Widmore.
kk calm down trix. we're all here to help each other. i was just pointing out a fact. there's no need to get all defensive. (xx)
but hey! when we first got those pics a couple of months ago, I said THEN that when "GidgetGirl" started getting miffed, that it was HER in the dad-blame pics!!
so, basically, we've gotten a short post from Rachel, leading us to more "nothingness".
can anyone transcribe the phone call please?
go rachel go, nothing bad ever happened in paris anyway ;) well at least not recently
well..please don't die rachel
chucklez! Nice to see you back.
So do we think that GG is the woman from the GWC?
I bet $20 Rachel takes a camera. Any takers?
Its not that I'm getting defensive its that I'm sick of American bashing losers who jump on the (EASIEST) bandwagon because its so tres cool to hate the USA. Contrary to popular belief, we're not all idiots.
Rachel, no, you really don't really have a choice, but see if you can get a local or someone else to pick up the package for you, i don't know about meeting someone out in the open.
Rachel, send one of us, a local, someone here has got to be close to Paris. Tell GG she can trust us. There is strength in numbers.
no doubt, she'll have a camera, a microphone, and an iron!
mattuk: that's what I've thought since those pictures came out.
I think that its quite obvious that gidget girl is Penny Widmore. Same voice, same.
Chucklez: Hey! Welcome back!
I wonder why Paris. That does seem to take Rachel way out of the way just for a "package". Something isn't kosher about this.
apazizzles... nice one lmao
I bet there won't be any more videos, because Jamie isn't Rachel anymore!
OK if she is from the GWC what are her motivations for doing this? Why would she do something that could potentially harm McIntyre? I'd be very cautious.
Rachel- Use your purse cam, let's confirm that she is darla
apazizzles watch out, saying GG is Penny will get you in trouble with one angry brit, ask trix
You guys, I dont know what this business about a "package"--she got a "severance package" from Widmore, which is a term for a large sum of money when one leaves employment, but thats it.
speaker's blog is not working, and I went to where the recording is, and used the username and password, but it says denied... so I tried my username and pass, still denied, am I doing something wrong?
pip and RACHEL: the package MAY actually be useful!! What if it contains info on the location of the ship and some sort of protective "gear"? Gas mask, gun, or whatever
americanpi... what are they going to do? DO you think Jamie quit?
And I don't think GG is P Widmore. Desmond wasn't married and he is her reason so far for being in lost.
I have mirrored the file incase RB takes it down.
http://downloads.reazn.net/timmyc/GidgetPhoneCall_direct.mp3
So, if it turns out to be Penny, does that indicate that the Penny blog could be in-game?
coleyk... you need to type them in exactly as she types them. remember the capitals in the password.
ummm.......why WOULDN'T Jamie still be Rachel?
I think she's doing fine and I kinda' like her "look" and personality.
what would prompt you to say something like this?
Mattuk: Good point, so it must be the woman from the GWC.
trix: totally agree with you. most people who claim to "hate" the USA actually just generally hate the US government, George W and the stupid ways in which the US government can manipulate other apparent "friends". Take, for example, the proposed extradition of the Natwest Trio, occuring at the moment. I for one don't hate Americans, just their laws and leaders!
Bring it on you angry brits! I'll take you on, I'll take you all on!
mattuk... you never know...
If that is gidgetgirl or not she's right, Rachel is a loose cannon with the security. Someone hacked into the site and she's STILL just posting Usernames and passwords and posting direct links... why password protect it at all?
Seriously Rachel, whatever has you on the move after THF is seriously killing your common sense.
I can't honestly believe that Persephone would leave open links and passwords laying around.
And you wonder how they keep finding you.
Easy to find you if you don't HIDE like she said.
you think they got rid of jamie cause we found out who she really is?
If it does turn out to be Penny, and we assume she is GG (which I think we can) the Penny blog is still crap, it contradicts this blog
I don't hate americans, without you guys 'Lost' wouldn't even exist!
leesuh... good point! She should be hiding the passwords like she used to! There's no reason she should just be posting her usernames and passwords. It takes the fun out of the hunt. And just letting you know... that wasn't me last night on ITE. It was a troll.
good point. why bother to even give us a UN and password... if not hide the recording a little better. odd it was on the ABC website too. Why she do that?
iceman... yeah. I think penny would have mentioned that she's gidgetgirl.
GidgetGirl says Rachel will know her when she sees her.....hmm.....
She also says she doesn't get why the Foundation are leaving Rach alone....gives weight to the "she's related to them so they don't wanna actually hurt her" idea
This post has been removed by the author.
how do you access the call?
apazizzles... because they're getting lazy. There have already been postings on the Channel4 site and the Aussie site too, so why not the US?
It's really dumb that they're hiding stuff on lost-related websites.
thanks e-dude... okay, so she is now hiding things on the actual lost site... what does that mean? its hard to seperate it this way from being "ingame" to being a show.... obviously everyone knows about the show lost, but "ingame" does she know about the island, dharma, flight 815, ?
Gotta say Rach. Something's up because your stuff is getting easier to find when it should be getting harder.
FOCUS!
What if the package being talked about is the same package that the trhee people were talking about in the beach conversation from Italy Post 02/01 (cant remember). Someone said something about posting a CD or DVD with information?!?!? More possible than some other suggestions i think.
Well, honestly, Rachel did have pictures of "the other woman". C'mon Rach, just bring the adultery photos and you'll be able to recognize her.
chucklez3... that's for the hidden phone call.
Anyone got a transcript yet?
Please? I can't listen to it now.
Rachel: Hello Hello.
GG: Yeah.
Rachel: Who is this? Hello?
GG: Just another Monday morning quarterback
Rachel: GidgetGirl? How did you find me?
GG: Is that really important?
Rachel: Where have you been?
GG: Hiding, which is what you should be doing.
Rachel: I am hiding.
GG: If I can find you, so can they. But they're leaving you alone for some reason. Why Rachel?
Rachel: (stammering) Why are you calling now?
GG: No. Don't do that now. Don't avoid the question.
Rachel: I'm not.
GG: It doesn't make sense. For me, I'm involved. The man that I love, say what you will about him, about us, he's involved. I can't get away, but you. Rachel, you have a choice.
Rachel: Like you had a choice to fall in love with a married man? I don't have a choice! I have to do this! And I'm sorry but I can't tell you anymore.
GG: I have something for you. A package. I think it's time we met.
Rachel: Where?
GG: Here. In Paris.
Rachel: But (more stammering) I'm in Italy, I can't-
GG: Tomorrow. Check your email. I'll send you the meet location. It'll be encoded, but, you're smart, it shouldn't be a problem.
Rachel: But how will I know you? What's your name? Please! You know my name.
GG: You've made it clear. That's all I know. You'll know me.
Rachel: Okay
GG: One more thing.
Rachel: What's that?
GG: No cameras. You're reckless Rachel and reckless will get me killed.
here's how we know if Penny is GG. Was it penny in Persephone's hugh hack? No! So Penny isn't GG.
Call Transcript
RB: Hello. Hello?
GG: Yeah.
RB: Who is this? Hello?
GG: Just another Monday morning quarterback.
RB: GidgetGirl? How, how did you find me?
GG: Is that what's really important?
RB: Where have you been?
GG: Hiding. Which is what you should be doing.
RB: I am hiding.
GG: If I can find you so can they. But they're leaving you alone for some reason. Why, Rachel?
RB: Why are you calling now?
GG: No! Don't do that. Don't avoid the question.
RB: I'm not
GG: *sigh* It doesn't make sense. For me, I'm involved. The man I love, say what you will about him, about us, he's involved. I can't get away but you, Rachel, you have a choice.
RB: Like you had a choice to fall in love with a married man? I don't have a choice, I have to do this. And I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anymore.
GG: I have something for you, a package. I think its time we met.
RB: Where?
GG: Here, in Paris.
RB: But I'm in Italy, I can't...
GG: Tomorrow. Check your e-mail. I'll send you the meet location. It'll be encoded, but, you're smart. That shouldn't be a problem.
RB: And how will I know you? What's your name? Please! You know my name!
GG: And you've made it clear that’s I know. You'll know me.
RB: Ok.
GG: And one more thing. No cameras. You're reckless Rachel, and reckless will get me killed.
*End*
Is it just me or does Rachel sound pretty morally righteous about GG's love for a married man?
It looks like the game is starting to connect to the show. Adding the recording to the Lost site may be a hint that the person on the other end of the phone call is involved with the show somehow...i.e. Penny. We shall see.
Doh! Two slow to beat Chelsea :-P

GidgetGirl says Rachel will know her when she sees her.....hmm.....
well, if gidgetgirl is mcintyre's "squeeze" (my assumption, at this point. no direct pr0of--yet), then she'll recognize her from the photos/vids she's taken.
thank you so much chelsea...
Just an FYI guys and gals, Something maybe afoot here.
You notice in the conversation the GG was wondering why Rachel is not being actively / aggressively pursued by THF.
Check out http://thelostexperienceclues.blogspot.com/ which seems to be down and is being investigated by the Blogger team.
Now check out Speakers' Gmail status that tell you the his "TypePad is down and he can't post nor can people comment. Sorry, don't know when they'll be back. Stay Tuned."
Our guides through this maze of an ARG maybe under attack. The only active site at the is RB's
Everyone may want to start investigating what other sites maybe down.
e-dude: yeah, nevermind me. I had a brain-fart. i knew that and actually listened to it already. Don't ask.
Must've been the sun or the fact that RACHEL waits until i leave to post that had me all "loopy".
and apparenty TOO dumb to spell correctly...
username and password box is up for hansoexposed.com... I just saw this so I am sorry if it has been posted already
Lets look at the facts, as i said before Penny is only in lost because of desmond, who we know is not married. GG's first act i think was to get rachel to take down the pics of hugh and the woman from the GWC. In the phone call, rachel said to GG that she fell for a married man, and we know hugh is married with a family. The evidence points to GG being the woman from the GWC, so, we should be asking ourselves why is she helping rachel? but then again, i could be wrong anything can happen in this game
ha! Word verification was "nhyijedi" (knee-high Jedi)?? Yoda??
monday morning quarterback... that sounds too random to be... random. could that be the password for hansoexposed? And did you notice... the ad on the right side of the ABC page is for earning online degrees? And the password is FalseDegree... just a little goodie, I guess...
Here is a link to the call:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/podcasts/110239.html
usname:RBlake
Passwrd: FalseDegree
Yes, some sites are down.
you know you comment too much when the word verifications start to sound familiar...
how do you access the call!!
I can't seem to find it
speaker said that we should watch lost tonight....or something to that extent, looks like we are going into act 3?
You don't have much of a choice. But I would respect her wishes to not use a camera. Mainly cuase if I think I know who she is, then it would mean bad news for her like it did with the guy from Vik you met with last time.
Besides, your at a dead end. You dont't have mkuch of a choice.
Folks, Penny Widmore isn't going to be in this thing.
I'm calling it right now.
Let it go.
Monday-morning Quaterback...
I've been catchin my family up on season 2 through itunes and that phrase sounds very familiar
E-dude, didn't Rachel call GG a "Monday Morning Quaterback" when she first appeared on the scene?
e-dude:
I wondered if Monday Morning Quarterback meant something too, largely because it was not only an odd and out of context expression, but it was being said by someone with a decidedly foreign accent, such that one would not expect her to be using colloquial "American" football expressions ...
GidgetGirl is CLEARLY the chick from the GWC that Rach had in the pix with Hugh on the site (that were removed per request of Gidget Girl) THAT'S why she'll know her when she sees her, she took pictures of her.
and e-dude we knew it was a troll.
pipboy... she might've. I probably missed that...
I'm glad you understand leighsa
coleyk...act 3 is possible, however I agree w/ the 48 days per act theory and if that is true than we still have weeks till act 3
Haven't we semi-proven that Mittelwerk doesn't really have a degree?
Do we think the next clue (package) might have something to do with this (FalseDegree)?
coleyk... speaker said we should watch lost tonight? then I'm going to!
WHERE IS THE DAMN CALL!!!
I think the password was b/c of the ad on the righthand side of the page. It was for obtaining online degrees.
hagbard! Follow her link, type her username and password in the box, and listen!
why did gidgetgirl need to call her if she could have just posted on the blog?
France, eh? How romantic.
I wonder if Hugh McIntyre will show up unexpectedly when GidgetGirl and Rachel meet. A very soap opera-esque moment that could be classic.
What's the chances Rachel -won't- bring a camera? Our fearless leader is always pushing the bounds of safety.
Though, after meeting with Darla, I have a feeling Darla will be taking a bit of an Armand Zander vacation.
-The Truth Tempest
The truth hurts.
Especially when he carries an iron.
Monday Morning Quarterback was GidgetGirls way of letting Rachel know it was her... from THIS conversation:
GidgetGirl: Rachel, I hate to be the crack of doom, but do you really think you're going to get any further by literally bumping into these guys?
RB: Got any better suggestions? Cause all I'm hearing is another Monday morning quarterback.
leighsa...you make me miss my gf...her name is Aleighsa
going along with the guide sites being down... www.thelostexperience.com hasn't posted anything since iceland.
PEOPLE!!!
"monday morning quarterback" simply is a phrase in used for people that means they're ones that "second-guess" what the "quarterback/team" SHOULD'VE done on SUNDAY!!!
Basically a reference to fans of American football who think they can do better than the coaches!
no let it rest. there's no "alternate" meaning.
Chucklez,
The package could be info on Mettelwerk's real background, (including his false degree). I'm still wondering what this package contains that forces GG and RB to meet face to face. GG sounds like she wouldn't risk it if it were trivial material that could be encoded and hidden somewhere.
Hagbard
PLse scroll to my 8:06 msc
thanks leighsa
that's why Rachel referred to GG as such. She meant that GG is simply "second-guessing" Rachel's work and thinks she can go about it better.
Quick link to the recording
http://tinyurl.com/l6wty
BTW, Rachel, you R0X!
jpike: awwwwwwww. I might have to name my first born that. Aleighsa, I like it.
Guys, what should we make of Rachel hiding this call on an ABC site? is this a crack in the ARG? or are we to think that Rachel is trying to point us to the TV show LOST? This seems to be a HUGE thing!!!
chucklez3, nobody here ever said they didn't know what a "monday morning quaterback" but thanks for the def. anyway
WAY too early for act 3 people... we are barely into act 2.
sorry chucklez... I'd just never heard that expression before. it makes sense now, though.
This post has been removed by the author.
iceman... what do I make of it? TPTB are getting lazy. They didn't want to bother hiding it on another site so they hid it on their own homepage...
yosimaule... read before you comment.
jpike: leighsa actually said it had "meaning".
Leighsa
I'll have to tell her that, she well get a kick out of it
eekalicious... people are getting bored with act 2. maybe the writers are fast-forwarding so we still have an interest.
and after this post, inside experience was shut down for some typepad problem... a little too coincidental? I mean surely they would know that after we found this that all the people who go there regularly would be trying to post there...
Gotta agree with those that are saying Gidget ISNT Penelope. It doesn't really make sense for that to be her. It does make sense for her to be Hughs love interest. The fact that she is English and Posh does suggest a tie with the Widmore Group, which is something that seems to be seeping in through the cracks at the moment. But I'm guess Rachel didn't know her when she worked for Widmore because she would have been working in the American arm of the group.
Anyway, Rachel, your right you don't have a choice. It's either quit now, or go to France and I can tell you'd rather risk death then quit. So you have to go. Just be cautious, take one of your wigs and scout the area out first before you move in. Also it may be an idea to set up a delayed email or something with information in that we may need...just in case. To be fair, I don't think it's a trap, but you need to be prepared. Do you have a gun?
On a side note, I guess Gidget isn't your long lost Mother. Sorry about that suggestion. But I still wonder, are you sure she's dead?
e-dude, if is it truely laziness, then I don't have much hopes for this ARG getting better, only heading toward spoon fed pieces of a narrative as opposed to the clue finding that we are used to
i don't think the file being hosted by abc means anything other than TPTB may be having trouble with the sponsor sites or something. alluding to lost, i don't think that means anything. speaker is in game, but he watches the tv show lost. i think he said one time that he hopes that the show lost is real, so in the world of the game the island exists, which we're all assuming it is, and if it's all made up then it doesn't connect and it's all pointless. but it is important to remember that in rachel's world, the tv show lost does exist, whether she watches it or not.
Lostpedia is down.
coleyk... that was def. done on purpose.
chucklez3...granted there are about 481,516,234,2 Billion red-hearings in this game...wouldn't rule things out to quickly
what bugs me is the fact that Hanso is leaving her alone...
Isn't Rachel Low on Funds... she gonna walk to France from Italy?
e-dude... They cant go into act 3 yet... but they can change the face of act 2 and make it more interactive.
meg I agree, but in the ARG world are we to assume that Rachel randomly picked the ABC lost site as her next "coporate site" to hide he stuff?
matt the pale... seriously?
Sites down: LostPedia, Speaker's blog is broken, and TLEC is down too..
it's like a Lost Experience Brown out...
I like the way you're thinking, iceman.
I wonder why she chose to reference it to there. I don't have a feeling it is a crack in the ARG, considering in the ARG the show LOST does exist. I am compelled to agree that there may be some reason to point at it like that.
I mean, they make money whenever they link to another advertiser site, but this promotes their own property. Maybe ABC just got jealous of the other companies' attention.
Though, I have a feeling this has to do with Speaker's hints on ITE that we should watch the LOST episode tonight. A lot of people are murmuring about a clue that may be in a commercial.
That would certainly explain the tie-in.
