smakitupflipit 29 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 03-23-04, 11:19 PM (EST) "Simon vs. Ryan" Am I the only person, or is it getting really annoying watching Ryan take shots at Simon? I know Simon can be a twit, but usually he is close to the truth. Ever notice that Simon sits quietly allowing Rnady to drop his cliche lingo, and let Paula get mushy about any song she danced to at one of her 4 weddings, but the second Simon says a negative comment, both Paula and Randi start beating him up? I love the show, but this bickering is beginning to detract from the performers. It's almost springer-esque. Anyways, here's my top 11 (Overall) Fantasia (easy to like her spunk) George (sings a smooth tune) La Toya (she's great but her song had backups the whole time) Diana (bad at country, but good at pop) JPL (He's the people's choice in this) Jasmine (As good as she was week one she was bad week 2) Amy (great job projecting her voice) Red John(he's in trouble unless he digs up a Sinatra disco song) Matt (on borrowed time..he has no range) Jennifer (picks terrible songs, but hair looks much better) Camile (icky poopy crappy) Bottom three tomorrow will be Camile, Jennifer, and Matt with Camile deserving to go, but probably Jennifer leaving.   Top

"RE: Simon vs. Ryan" LAST EDITED ON 03-24-04 AT 00:25 AM (EST) Amen..Amen...Amen I am so tired of Ryan and him always making little remarks to Simon. It almost appears as though he is jealous because the public still loves Simon after his sometimes rude BUT true comments. Another thing... Although he didn't do it tonight, he always makes a gay comment about Simon. What's up with that? Simon's girlfriend Terri is on Good Day Live every week. But back to the Simon vs Ryan thing I now feel that Ryan is obnoxious!!!!   Top

The gay jokes are so tasteless and i'm sure, to some, insulting. I thought Ryan did make a gay joke tonight though. Did'nt he say something about Simon wearing chaps and not even knowing it was country night? Maybe i'm looking to much into it because i've come to expect the puns.   Top

raidersfantom 137 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-24-04, 01:49 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Simon vs. Ryan" That was the Blue Oyster. One of the most infamous bars ever in comedy history. Ryan is jealous a bit, maybe he's trying to be his own man, as the real star of the show is Simon, not the singers.   Top

qwertypie 9776 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-24-04, 04:54 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Simon vs. Ryan" Right you are. We have a bar here called the Purple Onion (I don't think it's a gay bar) that I drive by everyday. That's how I transposed the name. How could I have made such a mistake?   Top

"RE: Simon vs. Ryan" "Ever notice that Simon sits quietly allowing Rnady to drop his cliche lingo, and let Paula get mushy about any song she danced to at one of her 4 weddings..." LOL -- nasty but loving it Ya definitely Ryan is trying way too hard to insult Simon and it comes across as forced and unfunny. Just let it go Ryan.   Top

Ricky 1106 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 03-24-04, 06:47 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Simon vs. Ryan" Yea, I'm getting kind of tired of hearing Ryan try and put down Simon every five minutes on the show. Once in a while would be fine, if he had a clever comment, but it's wearing thin now. I do think Simon speaks what he thinks is the truth, but I think he's been too harsh on several of the contestants (Diana and Fantasia this week for example).   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-24-04, 01:08 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Simon vs. Ryan" I agree that any animosity is entirely fabricated. I disagree that the fluffy sparring adds anything to the show. Two of the flabbiest hours in television. America's Top Model looked like the Sopranos in comparison.

"RE: Simon vs. Ryan" LAST EDITED ON 03-24-04 AT 01:35 PM (EST) Ryan's not as bad as Randy and paula are. Every time Simon says something bad abput a contestant they jump all over him. Now that's the real annoyance. Bring back the spice rack Congragulations to the apprentice Mr Kwame Jackson   Top

greenmonstah 10761 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-24-04, 02:02 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Simon vs. Ryan" I agree. Simon is relatively quiet while Randy and Paula are casting thier judgements. However, if Simon contridicts what they have to say, they become loud and disruptive. The one (and perhaps only) thing that I like about Ryan and Simon's banter is sometimes Ryan makes Simon explain/qualify his put downs.   Top

Mizz Eve 368 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 03-24-04, 05:12 PM (EST) 12. "Dissent" I enjoy the exchanges between Ryan and Simon. It all seems pretty good natured. I really like it when he calls Simon on some of his crap, i.e. when Simon made a negative comment to John Stevens, Ryan asked him to clarify. I like that. Then again, I didn't watch AI1 or AI2, so I haven't that much time to get tired of it.   Top

Angelfood 2114 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 03-24-04, 05:53 PM (EST) 13. "Truly pathetic" Its pathetic. sophomoric. too Fabricated and getting old. Simon is set up to be the bad guy "dressed in black" (Ryan's words), like an old cowboy movie. They BOO when he's intro'd. That's all the comedy writers can come up with?? Part of Ryan's schtick is that he denegrates himself. Did Anyone else catch George telling Ryan that whatever-self-insult wasn't true??!! GO GEORGE!! I agree with MizzEve that its interesting when Ryan asks Simon to clarify answers, wish he'd do it to Paula and Randy, and I like what he asks the contestants afterwards. its the personal remarks and innuendo that go too far and are just too disrespectful. The first few were cute, but its gone downhill. Typical of the times, sadly.   Top
