For your pleasure, I shall now provide an advance recap of tonite's two hour AI finale:

120 minute program, subdivided as follows:

44 minutes of commercials

13 minutes of Fox promos

5 minutes for opening and closing credits

6 minutes of FOX stars being interviewd in the audience

8 minute recap of the road to the final show

16 minutes of musical numbers

3 minutes of Seacrest stretching out the dramatic final result

ONE Minute for why we're all watching this thing

3 minutes of balloons dropping on the stage

I think you shorted the commercial time. :)

13 minutes of musical numbers and 3 minutes of telling us the results will be right after this (or a few) commerical breaks.

The only question to my mind at the moment - do I cheat and see what the results are on FreeRepublic before it airs where I am?

Great breakdown Ken.

44 minutes of commercials

Yes, but how many will be Old Navy Super Skirt (to the tune of Super Freak) commercial and how many will be those annoying Coke commercials with the kids making the phony documentary?
