Well, this wasn't the worst season. (The Minaj/Mariah season still holds that prize). But it sure was the dullest.

Thank goodness it was mercifully short.

As always, the friends on this thread are far more important than any TV show. You make these fun and worthwhile.

If they squeeze yet another season out of this turnip, I guess we can be here again to laugh at the results :)

Take care and I'll see you around FR!

Mega thanks Jonny for enduring this one. You keep us interested and engaged regardless of the worth of the show.

Kudos also to thread snarkers, posters, you are more fun than the show , and maybe someday we will all will be the virtual judges with live posted commentary.

Now that would be really innovative

Honestly, this thread is what keeps me watching the show. In ratings news, the final delivered 7.7 million viewers, down from 8.63 million last year. For comparisons sake, it peaked in season five with 30 million viewers. The show has been renewed for next year, but they have not announced if all (or any) of the judges are returning.

It is speculated that they are looking at cutting costs. Katy Perry is their highest paid talent at $20 million a year, Ryan Secrest is locked into a long term deal with ABC. Word is that they are negotiating with the three judges to return, but nothing is set in stone.

Where do they go from here? Just my two cents...in their attempts to be too kind, there is not enough constructive criticism past the final 10. Just more of "you are wonderful crap". Also, shorten up the shows. Two hours (and three for the finale) is too much. Stream line it and keep it moving, we all have lives to get to.

Anyways what makes this show is jumping on the thread with such friends like you and the gang. I'll be back next year but ABC please don't make me regret it:)
