Our resident American Idol thread starter is no more so I guess I’ll get the ball rolling.
When last we left the AI thread:
A shipment of bloat reducer was on it’s way to Simon.
One set of twins was on their way to the slammer.
A guy dressed like a girl was mad because people were confused about his gender.
Young Zack was a hottie.
A young girl got too much tan in a bottle from her mom.
Can’t wait to see what this week brings.
The preview for tonight showed promise. I especially liked the girl who sang the Dixie Chicks song. Let’s hope the judges are nice to her.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m ready to see some real talent this week. I really liked Zachary (the one you could tell was a boy), but other than that there were few standouts.
We have another two-hour show tonight. My husband is going to be so miserable.
I liked Zachary, too, but he insisted on bringing gender confusion to the table when the judges specifically didn’t go there and spoke only about his singing. Way to grow a big chip on your shoulder there, kid. And if he wants to be treated like a boy? Fine, but don’t get upset when you dress like a girl and people are a bit confused about the message you’re sending.
As for Simon being nice to someone singing country? That I have to see to believe. As I recall, even Carrie didn’t sing an obviously country song for her audition last year.
Two more hours to fill, eh? Hopefully we’ll see another beautiful compilation like last week’s Lady Marmalade one. That was my favorite part of both shows, I think!
yellowval was talking about the Zachary from the first night of auditions, the all-American looking boy with dark hair.
And another two hour show? :mad: I still have to catch up on 24 and Skating With Spares from last night. >_<
Oops, wrong Zachary. Too many Zacharys.
I really need to start cutting back on my reality shows. By the time TAR, Apprentice, and Survivor start up, it feels like I’ll be booked practically every night of the week.
The only commercial I’ve seen shows Simon looking very happy about something. I’m ready to see some talent too. I’m not very excited about anyone we’ve seen yet.

Well, this girl singing country was black, so maybe she’ll fool him? She didn’t sound country at all, she just had a really nice voice.
Yeah, these two-hour shows get a little long for me. The first 15 minutes will be nothing but Ryan giving a recap of the last two shows, and a preview of what’s to come, the best and worst of which the’ll show 4-5 times throughout the show. I’m so on to American Idol. Too bad I can’t stop watching.
Sorry to double-post, but I don’t know what happened to that quote. I used the “respond with quote” button about four times, and it kept showing up weird in my reply box. I finally decided to just try it anyway. Damn hamsters.
taptaptap Is this mic on? It is? OK, good. clears throat Hello, my name is rockle, and I am a reality TV addict. It started out innocently enough, with Survivor and The Amazing Race, and I told myself I could quit any time. I don’t need to watch Temptation Island, I said, but I want to. It’s just a phase, an experiment, but it’s nothing serious. Long story short, but I realized last night when I was watching Skating with Celebrities that I have a problem, and American Idol is one of my drugs of choice … and I don’t want to get better.
So, needless to say … I am so looking forward to tonight! I bought my husband some Yeungling and some Twinkies and I’m sending him up to his Cave as soon as I can.
You forgot to mention that gay rights groups have denounced AI for being blatantly homophobic. Whatever.
That’s okay, rockle. I not only share your addiction, but I’m more evil than you are – I’m luring my husband into watching these shows with me. Yes, in the name of togetherness, I’m enticing him away from his hockey games and Law & Order reruns and teaching him what judges of bad singing and ballroom dancing are looking for. Yes, I’ve even got him watching not one but two versions of swapping wives! I’m coming for my children next! Bwhahaha!
I know what you mean. Is it me or is GLADD a little hypersenistive?
I mean, that girly-guy was just plain weird!
Whoa, really? And he does this for you? Are boobies required for this to work? Because if there are no boobies involved, my husband just whines at me and makes these lost little eyes, like, “Oh, how sad, my own husband, an orphan!” It’s easier to put him up in his cave with his little CounterStrike friends so I can be online and heckle A.I. in peace, like a good little Doper.
<<Boggle>> I was going to start a thread about worst food combination and offer the example of the marshmallow Peeps and Budweiser I had together once, but it looks like a similar taste treat is been had by your hubby.
I’m not an addict (not in denial either 
) but I did find myself watching The Bachelor last night and seeing the trainwreck that was that orange peel poetess.
Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Hear it go:
If I could get tan from a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to skank up my clothes
And orange up my skin
And then
Apply frosty lip goo
If I could make notes last forever
If growls make my talent seem true
I’ll growl every note 'til my orange skin turns blue
And then
I’ll be judged by you
Apologies to Mr. Jim Croce.
Dammit, here it go. I previewed and everything.
Because of Girly Zachary? He struck me as more of a transgendered lad than a homosexual. But I suppose the fight for acceptance is the same. I thought he was sweet, and felt bad for him. Plus I felt bad that the gap between “us and them” was widened, if only in young Zachary’s mind. I hope he’d get through just so I could see more of him. I found him intriguing.
So how long is Fox going to be preempting House for American Idol? Or did they move it to another night? (Poor Bones got shuffled off to Wednesday night which has to be the kiss of death, given that it’s up against Lost and a few other shows (e.g. Mythbusters).
Well, I don’t think he eats them at the same time. And sometimes he has Fritos in with that, too.
Hmm… it could be a high school girl who was a winner on our local “Gimme the Mike” competition last year.
The link may be a mild spoiler.
