I do not think JLo was acting. I have noticed that the two new judges seem to really care about these people. If you have a heart, which Simon (whom I liked for what he did) did not, you have to get that these people see this as their One Big Chance to succeed in life. They are young and can’t be blamed for thinking this way, seeing what’s happened to other schlubs much like them, from past seasons. I think especially JLo, a fairly new Mom, remembers when she got her big start and empathizes with them.
I think that is why they wanted to be sure to get her breakdown into the aired episode, because MOST of the audience was moved by her genuine caring. These judges hugged and experienced Medina’s poor wife, a beautiful girl struck down with brain damage from a car accident — which could happen to ANYONE. WOULDN’T this wonderful husband be a hard one to cut??
Only the jaded would think this was all an act (of course my son did - how’d he get so jaded already?). of course the producers saw the show value in it, but those were real tears. She was stopping them to save her eye makeup.
I like these judges.
Well, then AI is just another typical reality show where they manipulate everyone involved to make good television.
She’s his fiance, not his wife.
