Now it is a staged woke Hollyweird production.
“The nation became hooked on American Idol”
Well, TV addicts, maybe.
Never seen it
Never watched the show. Give me Swamp People.
I don’t think the kind of people that watch these type of shows even care if it’s rigged they’re so hard up for entertainment
Never watched it
Reminds me of Quiz Show.
We quit watching when Haley Reinhardt finished 3rd. The constant attacks on her by Randy were disgusting.

The same thing happened to the Super Bowl. I remember when it was "authentic".
Because reality tv is no such thing?
It is edited, trimmed, re-shot and reworked until it is interesting. You need conflict, drama, surprise twists.
People in their natural state are not that interesting.
Mr Hitchcock said that movies were life with all the boring parts cut out and that was why we liked them. He was correct.
Speak for yourself ...
America IDOL and Dancing With the Stars...Just two reasons why I only turn on my TV during College Football Season.
Because it’s on TV?
From twenty years ago (2004)
It’s a $10,000 question...
Our elections are rigged. Why should we believe that other contests aren’t also fixed? That state, I’ve never watched that show, or others of a similar genre.
There used to be some show where the contestants were stranded on a deserted island, but it was more like a Hotel in California where you can never leave.
Poor Gilligan and Skipper too.
These are not “Reasons Why American Idol Might Be Fake.”
These are examples of evidence that it is fake.
The reason it is fake now is to make it sell better. And probably to a different audience.
I watched a few years at the beginning and enjoyed it. The performances were real and the musicians were amazing, even if the singer wasn’t. Can’t speak to the voting, although it was probably more accurate than our elections.
The reason I stopped watching it was the way they portrayed every singer’s past as tragedy. “They’ve had so much to overcome that it is a miracle they are even here.” Vote out of pity. That was nauseating.
It was great with the original judges. It sucks big time now.
I like it because it wasn’t really PC in terms of Simon telling people they suck at it.
Reason I don't watch America Idol.
I don't believe in fake smash hit, top of the charts, number one hit celebrity by cell phone votes in prime time.
From day one I knew the modus operandi was fake.
