American Idol

... just jumped the shark. Between the ridiculously earnest psychic consultation and the fact that Latoya London (!) just got the boot, it's on its way out. And yes, yes, I watch American Idol - and I'm not afraid to admit it.

(Ok ... maybe just a little)

Bill, that show jumped a long time ago. I'd say the jump started when the runner up last year proved more popular than the winner. Then that Matt fellow getting the shaft sealed the deal...when he departed we were left with a bunch of cliches.

I mean, I would think that if I watched it. Er...never mind.

Bill, embrace your shame! I usually end up watching a few minutes every Tuesday, then a bit on Wednesday to see who got voted off the island.

All I can say is that the Hawaiian chick must have a goat picture of whoever's responsible for tallying the votes, otherwise she'd be six weeks gone by now.

I made the wife turn the channel when the psychic nonsense started - hooray for the dumbing down of America!
