Well, then AI is just another typical reality show where they manipulate everyone involved to make good television.

AI is NOT just a typical reality show......it is the conduit for a veritble cornucopia of witty neigh Snarky and often hysterical commentary from the audience ONLY Silent_Jonny could so capably host... (Id give credit to Free Republic, but danged if the server doesnt become slower than an Obammy speech, every time the show comes on!)
Sit back.....take a moment in this workld of war and pain and turmoil........take a MOMENT.....to allow yourself to smile, my FRiend.......(This has been a public service announcement paid for by the makeers of Prozac) ;-)

I just had THREE ADT salespeople annoy me here and that is a chunk of reality. They didn't even arrive together.

It's on tv and it's a show. Producers manipulate everything or else they would have left JLo's reality on the cutting room floor.

Finally, there's been WAY TOO MUCH CRYING this year. It's getting nonsensical. What are they eating? What are they drinking? Are they getting enough sleep?

That part's ruining the show and JLo crying too makes my point. I'm the one not crying and wish they would all stop it! It's ruining AI.

If I want to watch crying & bad tv, I'll watch OWN.

And thin. (Exception for whatshername, married to John Goodman)

Exactly! Like real life woman who looked like Leah Remini would even give someone like Kevin James a second look?

Beer commercials do it, too, but at in advertising it sort of makes sense. "Drink our beer and you could have women like this (even though that totally won't happen)!"

Let the record show, the “THIN WIFE” on Family Ties (Maredith Baxter Birney) divorced her husband in real life, then announced she is a lesbian...
I can appreciate a woman who knows about Wolverine steel toed boots, but not one that wears them as a “way of life”, as she scouts out HOM DEPOT for another date.

Yes, the news is pretty darn heavy. Singing v. crying. I used to watch AI for the singing. Hopefully, they’ll have more of it when we get to the top twenty. The ADT salespeople worked me over real good. If they darken this area again, will have to call LE.

I’m afraid that tonight will be just 2 hours of drawn out perp walks. Last night’s second hour was the most boring part of the season so far and if its 2 hours of that tonight, then you two better be at your snarky best! Cause that is the only thing that will save the night!

I can almost tolerate the sob stories and incessent yammering by Seacrest, knowing that Stevie Tyler is a judge...HE is making the show a SHOW this year, inmy estimation, and PROPS to Nigel (or Whomever) for hiring him!

I know! Kelly McGillis from Top Gun is another one. Now she sort of looks like that Quaker Factory woman, Jeanne Bice, on HSN.

I’d really rather they show us the others from Vegas night, but doubt that will happen.

Why don’t they just get to the top 40 and do the two rooms thing and save us the torture of these drawn out green mile walks.

(Because we need to see the sob stories so we can get the subliminal message about “redistribution of wealth” and the less fortunate, as we watch the program...) AND>.....I laugh when I see chicks try to walk in 5 inch heels, when all they have worn to this point, is flip flops

What’s funny is that when I read there were problems with their marriage, I thought David Birney would be the gay one.

Since we are just hanging out early (I didn’t realize we still have fifteen minutes before showtime, I really need a life)

...if anyone likes old-timey country, like Hank Williams Sr., Wanda Jackson kind of stuff, they need to check out The Secret Sisters. They are two adorable girls with fantastic harmonies who sing old-timey country. They have a free download on Amazon called, “Tennessee Me”, but “The One I Love Is Gone” and “All About You” are my personal favorites.

Whenever talk goes to women in heels I think of that scene in Ocean’s Eleven where Julia Roberts is walking towards the camera. I couldn’t believe that no one ever showed her how to walk properly. She walked like a cow. Course she’s so skinny you could drive a Mack truck between her legs, maybe should couldn’t get her legs closer together without the hip joints popping out. Remember those old plastic dolls, where when you pressed the legs together the legs would pop out if the body and fall off?
