But Tara, Lon, Jeff, Carrie, Michelle, eM, Tomeiko and Audrey cannot be found on the tube. The Spotmates appear only on the World Wide Web, where prime time is real time, and the Spotmates' juicy postings spin a complex story of intrigue and cabal. Is Carrie a lesbian? Is Audrey really Gina? Who is the love of Michelle's Life? Why does Lon hit on every girl who finds her way to The Spot?
