Ugh, that's the trouble with those shows, they turn into a popularity contest, not a talent contest. If they want to end up with soneone who's the best singer, they should do the show on the radio, and keep the contestant's faces out of the media until the end.

British TV is full of these kind of shows at the moment and I can't stand it. I can't stand most TV, it's so trivial and dumbed down. What happened to the idea of y'know, drama and comedy? Of someone writing a script and getting some actors to tell us a story?

Heh, a rant in return. :D
