I see there's at least one Ace wannabe...the dude named Phil Stacey.

It's the beanie, isn't it? :)

On the whole, this year's group is sort of meh so far.

I know ... but hopefully that will change when we get to know them better. Half of these people are completely new to us.

I don't like the beanie, but I think that Stacy guy can sing... Don't "Ace Hate" on him yet... ;)

Hi Jonny. Replying fom my cell phone. It's the beenie, and a slightly Ace look in the guy's eyes. You know...half glazed over, half self-image as a studly dude. :)

Yeah, it's amazing how they went out of their way to give the top 24 brief air time in the early going this year. Also, looking at their pics, about half the girls are all the same physical type, like someone behind the scenes was looking for their fantasy honey or something.
