American Idol quasi-rant

Don't know how many watch this, but I've quit. Last week, one of *the* most talented of the group was voted out, and another contestant, who has shown over and over that he doesn't really care that much was kept in. Obviously their voting methods have once again proven to be a case of "popularity" over talent. I really had high hopes for this year, thinking it might actually maintain its integrity as it did last year - but not to be. Granted, there are still a couple of really, really talented people on there, but I can pretty much know who's going to win - and he's not as good as a couple others. But he's young and cute, so...

Oh well. Last year was the first year I'd managed to watch the whole thing to the end. Usually I just watch the first few weeks, until the really awful ones are voted off. Up to that point, it's funny. Last year they actually kept the talented ones right up to the last. Oh well - more time to work on important things - like writing and ranting. :D

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?

I'm kinda glad there is a load of crap on our tv.... means I get to do more writing, and sit here chatting to you guys :D

Good point! Hey, more reality TV! More "Celebrity Hairdressers Dancing on Ice" hosted by John Barrowman! Then I can get some work done.

BBC, here's a hint, I only want to see John Barrowman in Dr Who or Torchwood, not on every bloody show on the telly! He'll be reading the news next.

Yeah - he seems to be on the telly ALOT lately. Maybe I suppose if he's not filming Torchwood, then he can do the presenting... but here's a thing, why doesn't he film something else?

Like a Torchwood Spin Off. Captain Jack: The Chippendale Years.

hubba hubba!

Why is it that John Barrowman is so god damn sexy and yet he's gay? Such a damn waste!!! I think he's got to be the most fanciable gay guy I know :D
