LAST EDITED ON 09-15-04 AT 09:46 AM (EST)...American Idol syndrome? Where people vote for their "fav" no matter how bad s/he does. Remember Jon (I think he sang that Elvis song) from AI3? He should have been cut weeks before he was, but since he was cute and goofy, people kept him on.
For some, I think Jay is cute in a so-weird-and-ugly-he's-cute-way. Tammy can be very irritating to some. Those combined swings the vote Jay's way. Personally, I think both did such a horrible job last week either of them would have to feel very lucky to still be in the contest.
Oh, heck, I am in total agreement here! Our household loves Tammy.Some people out here are way into Jay, citing that you have to be intelligent, or be able to "get" him. Well, I guess that makes me stew-pid, because I plain don't think he's funny. Okay, he has a couple of the one-liners that are mildly amusing, but the whole ingratiating thing just bugs me.
Of the performers tonight, Geoff and Todd I just don't find funny. Dat Phan and his disgusting racial stereotyping I don't find funny. Kathleen, Dave and John I find funny. Sean, ok. Ant, eh.
It's all subjective. I just don't find this premise as funny as the original series.
