Ditto,mainly because in the short period of time that I watched,I couldn't (for the life of me) see one iota of talent on display.

Has escaped me as well, but those who are hooked do seem obsessed.
If you like a good comedy, watch the first couple weeks of a new season! You won't believe how many people are willing to make a complete ass of themselves just to be on TV...
That's probably because, like myself, you are not a part of this increasingly fanatical pop culture society.
I've never seen a single episode of Idol or any other reality type show. As a matter of fact, I barely watch TV.
But I heard a couple of morning show radio guys discussing last nights Idol show and they said that more people voted as part of the show than have ever voted for any presidential candidate.
At first I thought, "What a shame." But then, on further analysis, I concluded that most of these Idol zombies are probably libs anyway and that it is better for the conservative movement that these mental midgets spend time voting for celebrity wannabees than casting votes in a political contest.
