This is where I usually say see you next year, but, even though Idol will continue, I don't know if there will be a thread for it in 2011. It depends on who replaces Simon, and what he means by "it won't be the same show".

What the actual hell, producers!

But whatever happens with Idol, there will definitely (Lord willing) be a live thread for X-Factor when it premiers in Fall 2011 on FOX. See you then, if not sooner :)

Take care and God bless you all!

Jonny, here's the red carpet stuff cuz nobody but me saw it on tv. Melinda Doolittle's hair is different, stuff like that. They are going to shorten the show next year and not let Ryan hem and haw so much. His stretching for time cuz that's his job has worn thing. Here's the RED CARPET MOMENTS:

But that soooooo long from now! Thanks for hosting. I know you work so hard on these threads. It really is a place to relax and forget about real life for a few hours a week.

There are so many days when I really NEED a laugh and you all never let me down. This is still the funniest and best thread on FR. Not to sound like Paula, but I love all you guys.

Everyone have the most fun summer in human history and come back to us safe and sound next year!!! :-D

[Aggie Mama]

Although I've hardly posted this season, I've lurked religiously! I am going to miss the Furlies and the Drama!!! captions most of all. Your comedic timing is just impeccable, Johnny!

Congratulations Lee, YOU DESERVED TO WIN!

jonny...Thank you so much for again hosting the thread. I hope there will be a next year, but as you have said, it will also depend on who replaces Simon.

Hey Jonny.... God bless you too.

Your guy won, but that’s ok, I like him too.

Mama Socks will go on and be a star, of that I’m sure.

Jonny, I just want to add my voice to the chorus and say thank you VERY much for hosting all these Idol threads over the years! I didn’t attend very much this year due to a schedule conflict, and also I have to admit that AI kind of jumped the shark for me when they forced poor drunken, addled, hysterically funny Paula off the show. It just wasn’t the same for me without the Crazy Paula factor! And now Simon is going, so that’s that for me.

BUT ... please ping me for ANY more TV show threads that you do! You are the host with the most and I will gamely try out any show that you recommend. :) Have a great summer! Mwwwaaah!

[Aurorales]

Thank you so much for the live thread.

It is very much appreciated.

It was a great finale!
