American Idol Week 2 & Fox Programming
Ok, before I get into my AI rant (and I realize I have been a little scatter brained with my emails, they will become more regular once we hit the final 12), I need to address the FOX network’s programming schedule.
So life has been hectic as of late, so for some reason or another, all I seem to watch is FOX shows. For good or for worse that is how it seems to be. But I gotta ask, “Will FOX put anything on the air?”. After watching last night’s result show, I just happen to stay tuned to the Simple Life: Interns which was on afterwards. Granted, I realize Paris and Nicole’s humor is a little juvenile, but I mean watching the show, I couldn’t even understand what it was about? Half of the time they weren’t speaking English, and when they were, all I caught was “That’s hot” and “You're gorgeous”. They also seemed to be hitting on some 5 year old that was in the show. It was all very disturbing. I guess when you are a network that has the number one show on TV you can just fill your schedule with random crap.
That being said, a few other FOX items to note. If you are not watching ‘24’ do it. Go home right now and watch it. But I gotta say, is Jack Bauer that stupid? Does he really believe that the ex British husband isn’t in on it? I mean c’mon. And finally the return of ‘S’ squared (meaning Summer and Seth). For those of you falling behind, I have moved on to the OC. It is about time they wrap up the crappy season they have been having and get to the good stuff. Last week’s episode was ubber cheese in all the right ways. The spiderman kiss, Marissa and Ryan in the rain, the return of Captain Oats. *Sigh* it was all too good to be true. And thank god, they gave the boot the Ultra bloated Kim Delaney (Note to her publicist: I am not sure what she has been doing since NYPD blue, but stop eating the Ding Dongs, Kim) and to Lindsbree (she was grating on my last nerve). Now lets just hope Ryan gets over that red headed mutant quickly and moves back with ‘One emotion’ Marissa – even though I have been enjoying the whole MarissAlex thing. Wasn’t Seth’s expression priceless when he walked in on them last week.
Anyway moving on. Ok American Idol. I am hooked I gotta say. Although enough already, get to the final twelve. That being said here are my views so far.
The men are stronger than the women hands down. That being said, there are many weak links. Sadly we bid adieu to Joseph and that random white turtle neck guy last night. The Selena and Aloha also met similar fates. I wasn’t surprised about any of their departures. I was shocked though, that Janay has somehow to manage to stay in this competition, which just proves on thing. The American audience watching her and voting for her, also must be the same tone deaf hoochie momma crowd that is buying Ciara’s records. I mean c’mon, she was awkward, trying to be too trampy and the whole thing didn’t work. And hello? What is with the bad perm circa Salt ‘n Peppa 1992? The horror.
In a few other notes, I am not sure if the judges are completely tone deaf, but somebody must shoot Constantine and put himself out of his misery. The man butchered his song last week and this week proved even worse, how have they not caught on to this yet? Also, I am still on the fence about Bo Bice, granted he does have talent, I don’t think this is the right show for him, but I guess we will. And what is with all the women thinking they are the next Martina McBride? I don’t know how I feel about this crop of country diva’s.
Mario should be praised once again, and even though he did not get the love from the Judges that he should have, he is going top 2. Mikalah though is my favorite to date. I am glad she toned it down a little, but I hope her spunkiness comes back. Clay 2.0 as the Russian guy is being referred to as needs to be informed that it is no longer 1984.
As for the judges, was it just me or when Nikko was singing the other week, did Paula say she was all wet? What is with that woman? I am convinced she has a drinking problem. I am still not sold either on the way they are eliminating people at the end of Wed nights. I mean I get the whole good tv concept, but I mean, they are just going trashy ala Jerry Springer.
Final thoughts, somebody has to save us from Scott. His pink tinted shades are not cool; and his extreme makeover into Fat Joe is even creeping me out more and more all the time.
Well all we can hope for next week is Janay gets sent home to fulfill her future as a single mother, that Scott gets put in a place where as little people as possible see him, and that Paula whips out another strange bizarre wig (have you not noticed how her hair keeps changing every show?)

That was well done. I wholeheartedly agree with almost all his comments especially Constantine. That guy is awful in addition to being very ugly and dirty looking. I sing better than him and at least I take a shower every day!!! My only disagreement with him is Mikala. She has a terrible voice and although she has a nice personality this is a singing competition and she is totally out of her league. She will probably make top 12 because AMerica is stupid and they judge personality instead of talent.....
