"JD - good show for him. However, I can never get past his looks. I don't like that pursed up mouth that looks like it is sucking on a lemon."

- Can't argue with you about what you think of his looks - that's a personal opinion. I think he's hot, though. To each her own.

"I also don't think INXS likes him; there compliments have been grudging. Whatever you think of INXS (has been band, good guys, can make a come back etc...) they are not going to let a guy like JD run THEIR band... who ever gets picked is going to have to defer to the "elders" and understand who is running the INXS show (and it won't be their lead singer)."

- Now here is where you start to veer into conspiracy theory territory. He has always defered to INXS - he listens to their coaching. Marty FINALLY figured out that one.

"I also think the whole birthday extravaganza was carefully planned by JD as a bid to become a "nicer guy" to the television audience. It was a calculated throw as each birthday "bash" has gotten a lot of publicity."

- OH COME ON!!!! You can't really believe that. Are you being fair? Can you admit your own biases - and apparently you believe the carefully edited version of events you've seen so far is the WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH - that there is nothing he can do that you won't think is "bad."

I guess you've missed the blogs and interviews where people say JD is the house prankster. None of those lighter moments made it on to the show - they don't fit the "JD as Villian" story line, but now it fits the "Redemption of JD" story line so it goes in.

I'll admit my bias against Suzie - always saw her as the soccer mom type (whoever said that originally is brilliant!) and REALLY REALLY tried to love her last night but thought she couldn't compare to Bonnie Raitt. I guess I love an edge to my singers (like Alanis) and while Suzie has a beautiful voice, I can't get into her. I bet I would've loved her on AI.
