Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-05-13, 09:57 AM (EST) "The Agenda starts to panic." Idol just announced that they're setting up a Powervote system. And what does this do? Two things. First, it allows someone to cast a block of fifty votes online with as little as a couple of mouse clicks. Second, it allows them to pretend people still care about the show. Our own lack of discussion on the current season is reflected in the ratings: not only is AI at its lowest point in many years, it just got beaten by Duck Dynasty. I'm going to repeat that. American Idol, self-proclaimed greatest singing talent show ever, was just taken out in the ratings by a bunch of bearded businessman who think owning a razor turns you into an intellectual elitist. What's happened? It's not just the age of the show and a typical slow fade. The central audience -- frau and teens -- are fed up. They don't like the systematic attempt to destroy all White Guys With Guitars before we ever reach the voting rounds. They despise the lack of cute males to have sexual fantasies over. They refuse to vote for girls and they refuse to watch if girls are being shoved down their throats. And then there's Nikki. The frau despise Nikki. The ratings have been sinking, and with the voting rounds about to start, the powers that are not certain they'll be for much longer have soaked through three suits with flop sweat. But they still need Ryan to proudly boast 'One hundred million votes!' while never mentioning how many unique voters produced that total. And so, Powervote. Because if you tell yourself the ship isn't sinking, it'll distract you from the shark which just took a bite out of your leg. Remember: when it reaches the point where anyone can cast fifty votes, then 50=1 -- or, for those with multiple accounts, 50<1. They are running scared. They may have a lot to be afraid of.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

They despise the lack of cute males to have sexual fantasies over. Now, look--there's no need to throw MaroonClown under the bus like that.

But seriously, there's like, one Sort Of Conventionally Attractive Caucasian Male, and the Worsters are going into giggle fits waiting for the frau to find out he's gay.

KeithFan 7414 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-06-13, 01:14 PM (EST) 3. "RE: The Agenda starts to panic." LAST EDITED ON 03-06-13 AT 01:15 PM (EST) To be fair, Duck Dynasty is a pretty awesome show. I've tried to watch it, just can't with this group of judges. Nikki is the embodiment of everything that is wrong in music today, and Mariah is a vapid twit who seems to think that she is some sort of royalty and can't string a coherent thought together. Randy Jackson is Randy Jackson, and Keith Urban seems to really want to judge and be helpful but he gets his words in then it is nonstop nonsense. I still have it on auto record. I don't know why. I watch a few minutes of it then always end up hitting the delete.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-07-13, 09:31 AM (EST) 6. "Not the biggest lie they've told today." The New York Post had the following advance summary for tonight's episode: "The Top Ten finalists are revealed after excellent performances by all." Wanna guess which NEWS CORPoration owns the paper?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-07-13, 09:10 PM (EST) 7. "Ryan fibs a lot." Just spotted the opener for the results show. Among the untruths (only Ryan knows the results after we already saw Nigel tweet about them, the judges are in the dark, etc) was this gem: thirty-nine million votes, ten million more than last year, which shows how dynamic this group is. You couldn't cast fifty votes with a single click last year. Was that the sound of a smokestack breaking off?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

moonbaby 17013 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-07-13, 09:58 PM (EST) 8. "It's really sad" when they put through someone who was so off key like the guy I just saw. And he's a finalist? LAUGH. So this is what I've been missing. Good luck, Idol.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-07-13, 10:08 PM (EST) 9. "RE: It's really sad" LAST EDITED ON 03-07-13 AT 10:09 PM (EST) someone who was so off key like the guy I just saw Ye gawds, do you ever have to be more specific. I've been following the play-by-play at VFTW and came across the line from Mapa3m: "In other news, 100% gay male half of the final 10. Congratulations, Idol! You've just made history!" They're doing everything they can to rig a female win. It still won't be enough. If, y'know, they still do the whole 'counting' thing.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-14-13, 09:02 PM (EST) 11. "Whatthehell?" Reveal the (supposed) vote ranking from #4-#10 plus a top three in no particular (supposed) order -- and said (supposed) top three are all female? Did the entire usual voting pool of this show stay home? *looks towards ceiling* Those are some pretty visible strings dangling there.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-21-13, 10:07 PM (EST) 12. "Implausible denial." After Wednesday featured people claiming that songs had been assigned to them or changed at the last minute, Jimmy appeared to assure the audience that not only do contestants choose their own tunes, but here's Lazaro singing his 'changed' song. Cue footage recorded earlier in the week. Muted, soundless footage. Yeah, that'll show us. And in other 'don't give them anything to work with' news, so much for the vote rankings. Some of the question marks from last week may have gone mainstream.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-13, 10:31 AM (EST) 13. "Time to start lying about that too." If you were listening closely last night, you heard Ryan (after an evening where all results were shunted to the very end) call off twenty-six million votes. We are down by a third of what he announced at the first tally, and that's with the Powervote system in place. The show is bleeding ratings fractions and the ones who are staying out of it seem to be those who, in previous years, voted with something other than their feet. And pretty soon, the show's official theme song will be Yes, We Have No Bananas -- which will cost them a few more. Taking on water.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
