For tracking the week-to-week forced categories of svckage, not to mention guest mentors showing up for a check and the potential mandatory Let's All Watch Mariah Squirm For Two Hours.

Of course, the real theme is 'This season is gonna be the worst ever', but don't hold your breath on Ryan calling it.

This is -- vague. Are we talking about songs which the eventual winners performed on the show during their trip to the Contract From Hell, or releases from their post-victory catalog? Either way, I'd say that despite the WGWG run, this selection favors the females -- they'll fit better into Kelly, Carrie, and Fantasia groves than any male who tries to capture The Complete Lee DeWyze Experience. (Who?)

Of course, Angela might attempt to capture Scotty, possibly in handcuffs. Lock them doors.

You were right there. The only guy who did a job worthy of being on the show was Burnell and he came in 7th in the votes!

I couldn't trust Ryan's announced vote order any less if it had been announced by Alison Grodner.

Expect heavy reruns and at least six inappropriate ballad slowdowns.

Re: Beatles Week. Stop performing the same songs (Let It Be, In My Life, The Long And Winding Road, Eleanor Rigby).

So the bus will come with a sponsor.

Which gives us a genre no contestant has proven they have any skill in whatsoever, along with a potential restriction taking out 98% of their song style choices and YouTube ripoffs.

This is starting to look less like murder and more like suicide.
