They know who's going to make it to the semi-finals before the season begins, so why can't they edit the show to focus on those people and not the bench-warmers?
I just saw a clip on my local Fox morning news that they are going to focus more on the good auditions and there won't be as many audition episodes. There will be more "Hollywood" episodes and instead of a final 24, it will be 36.
Also, the wildcard round is back and (my personal favorite), the results show is back to 30 minutes.
"This is a difficult financial time for everyone globally, so I think the decision made was 'look, let's hold it over until next year and do it then,'"Warwick previously told reporters in explaining the fund-raiser's absence.
But, I kinda like the bad auditions too!!! My daughter got the AI game for our WII and it is so much fun. The judges tell you if you’re good enough or tell you it was horrible. If you go far enough you unlock old video footage from shows past, good and bad. We unlocked Bo Bice singing “Satisfaction.” I had forgotten about it till we watched it again and it was so GGGGoooood!! unfortunately we also unlocked Constantine singing Bohemian Rapshody. ugh
And no beg-a-thon either!? It's like they read our minds--LOL!
Sounds like they're getting back to basics. Good! The show hasn't been the same since they added all that extra crap.
