No, it’s not possible. This is AI. Every bit of it is cynical and fake. That little girl probably has beard stubble and a dick. ---

My sister / daughter remark was a joke, but my absolute first impression was “no way in hell is she sixteen”. Not saying there’s anything untoward or pedo going on; just that I don’t believe her. I also don’t believe autism dad’s kid is autistic. Also also don’t believe ex-con boy’s story about his prison sentence for the big bb-gun bank heist. ---

I notice tonight’s episode is called “The Road to Hollywood”. Is it a re-cap night or does it feature new auditions? ---

I’m pretty sure its new, but just in Hollywood. ---

This is the “best of the rest” audition show, I think. I didn’t realize it was on at 9:00. Totally screwed my attempts at timeshifting. ---

Yay, Jessica Furney! I was bummed she got booted from Hollywood last year. ETA: my first post to SDMB since last AI season, so forgive me if I’m rusty… ---

And I totally didn’t remember her. Funny who we remember and who we don’t. I’m still bummed about Tami Gosnell and Josiah Leming. ---

Ain’t No Sunshine guy had a weird affectation that made him look like he had cerebral palsy. And nobody on this show should ever sing Janis Joplin. ---

Yeah. Her. That one girl _might_ be another she who must not be named, but she might not be… jury is still out. ---

“fashion idol” I just wonder how people can tan their skin to an orangey leather skin-cancery texture and still think they look good. Is it like anorexia where you just don’t see yourself the way you really are? Do they think they still look pale? ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Why would Posh Spice be anybody’s idol? What the fuck? That girl and me are the only two people in the world that like Posh. Maybe David Beckham. I feel like I usually have fairly mainstream tastes in women but being attracted to Posh is a pretty lonely road. 😃 ---

I’m going to go ahead and diagnose that big kid as being within the autistic spectrum. ---

I actually really like Hey Jude girl. Hopefully she can ditch the histrionics, because she has a good voice and a nice look. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-2-3/527423.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-2-3/527423.md?page=4)
