YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK
If I were a bettin' man, my money would be on Jim to be offered and accept the job in NY. But not for anything storyline related. Much has been posted that 'we will see more of NY' in Season 4. It wouldn't make sense to send the lead character, Michael Scott, to NY and have the supporting cast in Scranton. It makes more sense that Jim Halpert go to NY because he, along with the trial and tribulations of Dwight Shrute, are the only characters that would warrant more airtime about the goings on at the corporate office. this is simply based on the show's current cast. Of course, if the show goes to an hour and more cast members are added, this theory goes out the window.
Now, the real issue is what happens between Pam, Jim and Karen. If Fox indeed has picked up Rules for Starting Over, we will see less of Karen. Doesn't mean that it spells doom for JAREN, but, it sure makes a case for it. It also does not mean that JAM will finally become more than an acronym. However, at some point, there has to be some resolution of any kind between Jim and Pam. People will lose interest or just decide that enough is enough if NBC/the writers keep stringing the viewers along without any progress or resolution.
Personally, i think the current storyline is backing the writers into a corner. Jim has already left Scranton once and to send him off again, particularly with the show's ratings being considerably down while Jim was in Stamford, it could spell a premature end for what could be one of the best shows in TV history.

My question is though, why have the writers written it so that Karen also interviews for the job? If it's really going to be either Michael or Jim, why have Karen go through the process? It doesn't add any more believability to either Michael or Jim being considered for the job. Instead, it makes me think she'll be the one who ends up in the Big City so nice they named it twice. Additionally, I am really hoping they don't move Jim out of the Scranton office again, (can you see me rolling my eyes over here?). I really hope they don't move Jim out of the Scranton office again. It was hard enough for us to work around the first time, and after the angst h3ll we've gone through this season, I feel they'd be asking a lot from their most loyal flans.

I completely agree...I think the writers are a little more creative than shipping Jim off again...I really hope that Jim is not the one taking the position at Corporate. And Greg Daniels only said that we would be seeing more of Corporate... that could mean only 4 or 5 episodes so perhaps this is how Rashida stays on the show. Of course this is what I am hoping because I just really could not live through Jim not being in Scranton again
Good Question: Why interview Karen?
Hadn't really considered that. Maybe it was the writers 'out' in case Rules was picked up by Fox. Or also a means to put an end to Jim and Karen's relationship.
Even if Karen gets the job, I just don't see her character as being strong enough to warrant a lot of airtime in NY if she has broken up with Jim at the end of this season. However, if she and Jim are still together.....

My totally off the wall guess: (Occam's razor? What's that?)
Jan is "out of town" because she got fired, and it's her job that they are interviewing for.
Michael, Jim and Karen were all called by corporate to interview (The reason Jim and Karen called from the beach is that Jim checked his voicemail, and got the message). Jim got called because they want to consider him. Michael is being considered as a courtesy, because it would not be right to invite Jim without inviting his direct superior as well. Karen got called because she the only woman in the company who is corporate material, and with Jan leaving, there are no women in higher management.
Who gets the job?
I can see that it would make sense that Jim gets *offered* the job, but not that he takes it. He's already been transferred twice, and we saw how it was when he was away from Scranton the first time. So maybe they offer it to him, and he turns it down. That would be a nice paralell to Branch Closing, when they had to backtrack because Josh turned the job down.
Then, it would make sense that either Karen or Michael gets the job. Karen getting the job is too predictable, but she probably needs to get to New York somehow, since she has her own show next year. Her being Michael's new boss would put her in the Scranton office from tme to time, and Jan is still around as Michael's "ho."
These writers like to play with us so much, so I would not be surprised if Michael got the job. I know that seems silly, since he really needs to have a lot of air time on the show. But they could make it work. What if Michael turned out to be the kind of manager who could not leave his old Scranton office alone -- he could turn into a micro manager, who would not let his successor take charge, because he thinks nobody can do the job as well as he can? That would be an excuse for him to be in the Scranton office quite a bit, maybe even on a daily basis. And we know they could get by with not paying him very much! I'm not sure how we'd explain Karen away, then, though.
I can totally see Michael turning down an offer out of loyalty to Jan, though, if Jan is fired, and this position is her replacement.....

I am assuming with all the "big" clues that jan has a boob job...?
QUOTE (ImaginaryFriend @ May 13 2007, 11:33 AM)
One "BIG" problem with that analogy. Jan never heard the flat-chested comments from Michael. She also didn't see his pros/cons list. Judging from the way WA transpired, Michael doesn't seem to do much serious talking to Jan at all. That is way he doesn't understand the sudden change in Jan's behavior, he didn't ask her thanks to Pam's prodding and bad advice. He also mentioned that Jan was insecure about her body. Why would he say something negative about her body to her knowing that it would be devastating. I don't think Michael would want to hurt Jan no matter how much he likes "BIG BOOBS". Good point. I just can't buy the "Jan gets a boob job theory". For the record, a lot of us men hate fake boobs. It is unfortunate that a huge number of actresses have felt it necessary to have this ridiculous procedure. Anna Nicole was grotesque and one of the silliest looking women I have ever seen.
Maybe Jan gets the boob job, Michael realizes he doesn't like it...come back in September and she has removed them. Not realistic, but it's something.
Not all boob jobs are of comedic proportion. I think Jan may have had a boob job. She has some insecurities, which are common with some women that have this procedure.

I;m totally sold on the boob job idea. I think its a for sure!
If Jan's surprise is completely the opposite of what we're thinking, how funny is it going to be that we thought it was a boob job!

I would never get implants, but I really wouldn't mind getting a lift to restore them to their original state. After havng three kids, gravity has taken its toll.
I'm going to take a wild guess (not based on anything I've read) that corporate will offer the job to Jim, and Jim, after much soul searching, will refuse it and stay in Scranton.

Wow, fluti, this is exactly what I've been thinking for the past few weeks. I was thinking it was Jan's job they're interviewing for when David said she was gone last week. I'm also thinking that Jim will get offered the job and he'll decline, partly because he already left once and partly because of Pam's spiel. I think Michael would probably also decline the offer, then give a speech about how he can't leave his troops behind, etc. I also agree that it would be too predictable for Karen to take the job, but I really like that scenario
. I think she would really enjoy life in NY and that would create an "out" for Jim to end the relationship. I also like the boob job idea, though... I think that would be hilarious
. I don't think things will change TOO much, because I don't think fans (me included) would like it all that much. Only 3 more days 'til we find out

Hi! Im new here but Ive been following all along and thought for thefinale Id add in my specs.
I feel like it's really obvious who will get the New York job and Im surprised that most people havent put forth this theory.
1) Karen will get the NY job: Perhaps Jim will be offered it, turn it down, then Karen will be offered it and accept. Or maybe Dunder Mifflin decides to hire a woman because they're taking over Jan's position.
2) Jim and Karen will stay together in season 4: Karen will have less screen time than this season sice she's in a different office but the NY Corporate office will be seen more than season 3. This facilitates Rashida having less screentime because of her other show and satisfies the spoiler that the NY office will be seen more next season. I also just think the Office writers are better than just shipping Karen (or Jim) off to another office and that being the end of them, it's a bit predictable and an easy out. The NY office will appear more so that we can follow Karens storyline in the NY office whatever that may be (see next speculation) and/or Jim will visit her more.
3) In season 4 Karen will develop a flirtation/crush on someone else in the NY Corporate office: JAREN wil stay together for the beginning of season 4 but they will break up because Karen meets someone else in NY. I believe that JAREN will break up in season 4 but it will NOT have anything to do with Pam.
Lastly on the JAM front, I think that Jim will approach Pam about what she said but Pam will downplay it and say that she meant what she said but that it didnt have anything to do with he and Karen and that she just said what she had to say and doesnt expect him to make any changes for her. He will agree.

And there most certainly is. Who knew it would come in the form of a validity commitee, and a bat hunt?

QUOTE (meladara @ May 6 2006, 05:18 PM)
I just finished watching the BBC Office this week. Given what happens there and the similarities, this is what I think will happen.
Jim is applying for the Sales Manager job at Stamford (stanford?? I'm not sure which it is). I think that it is a better job and as they said on Conflict Resolution there is a better market for sales in Stamford. After realizing that he's just wasting time in the current position and that Pam, who is really his only reason for staying, will soon be beyond reach he decides to go for the position. At the same time he's protect himself from getting hurt and having to be around a married Pam.
I'm not sure what will happen in the Casino Night. I do think that Roy is going to mess up or atleast hurt Pam some how and that Jim, either in response to Roy's actions or in response to his pending move to Stamford, tells Pam the full extent of his feelings. If there is a kiss that would be great but I really don'tthink that there will be a true JAM (Jim/Pam)relationship.
Now over the summer (when Pam's getting married and The Office is off the air) they are going to air the webisodes. If you've read Jenna Fisher's blog on myspace.com she says "Michael, Jim and Pam are not in the webisodes. Because of the storyline in the Season Finale it would not be appropriate for our characters to be in the Webisodes over the summer. But that's all I can say." <------Direct Quote!!!
I want to know why, what happens in the storyline!!! AHHHH!!!
Where's Jim?? - I think that Jim cannot be in them because he will be in Stamford. Although it could be he's in Australia
Where's Pam - perhaps she takes a leave of absense because of Jim and Roy, or maybe she is with Jim in Stamford (I can dream, can't I! )
Where's Michael - Is he fired? Does he get offered a gig doing comedy/music/improv (LOL), maybe he's injured and in the hospital (grilled his foot again, hehe). I'm thinking that he has it out with Jan and something happen because of that. Really I don't know. . .but I'm really curious about where he'll be. Hey, I've got it - He finally hooks up with Jan and moves to New York (LOL)!!
Next Season - I think most importantly we are going to have a downsizing situation at the beginning of season 3. This is a major part of the BBC version and I think that it how Jim will be brought back. There will be downsizing and Stamford become part of the Scranton branch (or maybe vice versa) and along with Jim will come new characters too.
This is all speculation - Help me!
I think I might be obsessed!

I'm thinking that he has it out with Jan and something happen because of that. Really I don't know. . .but I'm really curious about where he'll be. Hey, I've got it - He finally hooks up with Jan and moves to New York (LOL)!!
Next Season - I think most importantly we are going to have a downsizing situation at the beginning of season 3. This is a major part of the BBC version and I think that it how Jim will be brought back. There will be downsizing and Stamford become part of the Scranton branch (or maybe vice versa) and along with Jim will come new characters too.
This is all speculation - Help me!
I think I might be obsessed!
I bolded the best part of this spec. Wow. Spot on.

I think we'll see an 11th hour kiss. They play poker and they bet something big, maybe something to do with the Australia trip or the wedding, or both. But the main thing is that Pam finds out Jim's leaving and we're left with a cliff-hanger.
One hour! Happy watching...
One hour! Happy watching...
I thought it was so funny that everyone thought that Roy and Jim would bet on Pam!
Hilarious!

Lastly on the JAM front, I think that Jim will approach Pam about what she said but Pam will downplay it and say that she meant what she said but that it didnt have anything to do with he and Karen and that she just said what she had to say and doesnt expect him to make any changes for her. He will agree.
Ohhhh, this makes me so sad to think about, but could be very well true. Hopefully all of FNB's courage will keep her strong and she will go with her heart. Ahh, back to my daydreaming....
Here is my idea for a final episode scene ---
Jim needs to come into the office and not say anything to anyone. After a short period of time he'll buy a Coke and put it on Pam's desk.
Pam - 'What's this for?'
Jim - 'The rules of Jinx are unflinchingly rigid. When you looked at me and said 'I Miss You' I said the exact same thing to myself'.

That's really cute, actually!
Unfortunately, I dont think that it will turn into anything. I think that Jim dropping everything because Pam spoke up is not a possibility. In fact, I think that Jim may spend a lot of time talking to Karen about the incident and making her feel less insecure since she already knows that Jim isnt completely ove rhis feelings for Pam. Although I do think that Jim will approach Pam I dont think anything will come of it except for maybe the re-evolution of the JAM friendship. I dont really believe we'll get any JAM until mid season 4. But I DO think we'll get some JAM.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I love that. I'm not hoping for miracles, but what would I give for just a simple Jim rolling up his sleeves and moving back to his old desk. When they do finally get together, I don't want to miss out on the first date/awkward stuff, so I think the summer should be spent on Jim and Pam getting their friendship back on track, because IMO they have to do that before they can be together (oh, and Karen should never be spoken of again.)
Also, does anyone know what's up with Office Tally and titfortit.livejournal? They are both shut down. I NEED new spoilers.

Great idea! I love that.
I really hope that Jim does just a simple gesture to break the ice. That would be fantastic. And it would be such a stark contrast from staying up nights to talk things out with Karen.

What happened to OfficeTally?
OfficeTally’s traffic this week wreaked so much havoc on my current webhost, that they unfortunately suspended my account without notice.
It is doubtful that OfficeTally will be fully functional in time for this coming Thursday’s season finale, so I’ve created this temporary site so that at least I can continue posting show news.
I am being told that OfficeTally needs to live on a dedicated server. If you have any expertise in this area, please contact me!
I know this sucks. Thanks for bearing with me,

I just read Office Tally. Does this mean that we will only get a few one hour episodes and that for the most part, we are back to half hour shows next season? If so, this is very bad news. Those 30 minute shows fly by. One hour shows would be wonderful for us addicts. It is really the only show on TV that I care about. It sounds like NBC wanted more and the Office producers offered less. Am I reading this correctly?

There are four possible endings for The Office's season finale—and Jenna Fischer knows which one it'll be! She teases that Michael and Jan have the biggest stuff. Hmmm!
I posted my spec about 4 endings last week- though they had to do with Jim/Pam/Karen. Weird.

Very creative!!!..........I could only hope.
My guess is that JAM will be spread over as many seasons as the Office stays on the air........with the finale ending in marriage. We could be in for a very long ride. Not my wish....but anything else would probably be anti-climactic.

I have this funny feeling that both sites are shut down for a reason. I mean, there's no pictures for 'The Job' and no real spoilers either...maybe this is a plot from NBC to keep this finale under wraps...completely.

Wow, some great info there. Six hour long episodes, and 30 half hour ones. Very nice! (Not exactly spoiler info, but whatever.)
If you go to the announcement about the Fall schedule on the top of this page, and click on the office, it says something like, "With Steve Carrell returning as Michael Scott, the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin." So, we know Michael doesn't get the job!!
Here are my thoughts for The Job:
Jim: Offered the job, turns it down. After what Pam said at the beach, he can't leave now. Also, he has already been transferred once this season and I remember reading that the ratings for the show were down while Jim was in Stamford. So my guess is that he stays in Scranton and gets his old desk back.
Michael: Offered the job, turns it down. The only reason I can really think of is he loves Scranton and remember in The Client he said that he didn't plan on leaving? Well I think he'll stick to that. Plus, what would the Scranton branch be without Michael?
Karen: Offered the job, takes it. She's really the most plausable choice. Her new sitcom got picked up by Fox, Jim and Pam are starting to pick up again. Her and Jim will break up. She moves to NYC, end of story. (Hopefully)

Wow, fluti, this is exactly what I've been thinking for the past few weeks. I was thinking it was Jan's job they're interviewing for when David said she was gone last week. <snip>
I also like the boob job idea, though... I think that would be hilarious.

.All of that and the boob job can come true.
So I just had a thought which is of course pure speculation...
I'd love to see in the finale Michael getting offered the job, and seriously contemplating taking it. And then I'd like to see a Scranton employee (maybe Ryan) do something so genuinely nice for Michael that he feels loved enough in Scranton that he decides to stay. That would give the finale the nice warm fuzzy feeling (with comedy) that I'm starting to doubt the flans will get from JAM.
Just my random musings on the finale...

We're supposedly seeing more of the corporate offices in season 4, so whomever gets the job presumably takes it.
I'm not happy about that though, and hope that was a foiler. Been there, done that. We don't need season 3, part 2. Unless it is Karen that goes to corporate, it's obvious they'll (Jim or Michael) find their way back to Scranton again.

Unless it's that Jan's pregnant and we, and Michael, need to keep an eye on her "gestation".
Seriously though, they've got me completely confused about what might happen this Thursday and next season.

Okay, I've been reading and reading your specs... and some of them are great! (All the ones involving Karen dropping off the planet.)
I just thought I'd add my two cents:
We spend a lot of time watching "The Interviews".
Michael finds out they are interviewing for Jan's job and proceeds to blubber through the rest of the interview effectively ruining any slight chance he might even possibly be considered for the job. Jan's "big" secret is revealed somehow... maybe filling the position is just temporary while she's recovering from her surgery.
Jim goes in and shows his regular level of enthusiasm for paper and maybe even puts in a good word for Karen.
Karen goes in and badmouths everyone in the office (including Jim and his pranking) and says how she has to escape and then pulls the "hire a woman to fill a woman's position" card just like she pulled the "I moved here for you" card.
Hopefully they bring all the potentials together at the end and explain their choice revealing some of what was said during the interviews. Havoc ensues. Karen drops off planet.

Hi Gang:
Anyone wanna bet MIchael screws up his interview and stays in Scranton?
I will also bet a cliffhanger involves whether Jim or Karen gets the job in NYC. Like the British series I will bet Karen goes to NYC, and Jim stays in Scranton, happy to resume activities with Pam.
JAM will become 'friends' again. More pranks, more innuendo, more clumsy unrequited love for season 4.
What about the obviously heavy and imperiled Kelly - who I am guessing is pregnant - and Ryan uninterested. How can that turn out?
What of Jan? Stay or Go. Roy? Anymore of him?
How about Oscar... a girlfriend? Maybe Angela dumps Dwight?
I think Andy, Meredith, Creed, Toby, all stay the same...
LET"S DISH!

Jim gets the job, Karen stays in Scranton to put in her two weeks, wait till she finds a job in New York, tie up loose ends in Scranton for her and Jim. Karen and Pam hijinx ensues. Jim gets a taste of his new grown up life far away from his exhausting drama.
