Reality TV World Message Board Forums PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Grantland complains so you don't have to."
Following along with a full season of professional torturing themselves in the name of what's presumably some kind of salary. And they get to use non-PG13 terms to describe their agonies, so approach at your own risk. Leading off -- the leadoff. http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/65873/five-questions-on-american-idol-new-judges-new-season-same-suicide-mission-deep-into-the-heart-of-musical-darkness 'Suicide mission' said a lot there.

Prouder. I meant prouder."

The attempts to sandbag all WGWGs have not gone unnoticed.

4. "RE: Grantland complains so you don't have to."

"I’m pretty sure there are five mentions of rabbits and farts in “A Whiter Shade of Pale” and you never realize it until you’re drunk at two in the morning and all your friends have gone home and you’re staring at a purple karaoke screen while a dwarf stands next to you, whaling away on a tambourine."

" now truly believe that getting Nicki to judge was Vote For The Worst’s last glorious coup before going out in a blaze of melisma and smeared mascara."

5. "RE: Grantland complains so you don't have to."

"Countless numbers of gangly dudes have proven that just sort of writhing around onstage while mumbling to yourself can be the recipe for short-term commercial success (R.I.P., SHANNON HOON), but at least most of those guys don’t act like they’re standing up for every real mental illness in the world by performing an ear-splitting version of “Rocket Man” on a televised singing competition."

6. "No."

http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/69805/five-questions-on-american-idol-can-a-woman-finally-win-this-thing
"Since the start of this season, my new life philosophy has been, "When in doubt, just do whatever Nicki Minaj tells you." Yes, this has resulted in me leaving the house wearing a yellow top hat festooned with rainbow propellers on more than one occasion and another incident where I nearly slapped a barista who insisted I try the sugar-free vanilla syrup"

7. "They figured out the Supervote."

" I love the idea of the SuperVote, just because it finally manifests the formerly theoretical Randy Jackson mathematical system in practical form, and I can't wait to hear Seacrest tell us tonight that 478 billionty-millionty votes were cast, shattering all previous records by a factor of "Damn, dawg.""

Count another group of disillusioned after what happened to Charlie Askew. Pull back the curtain and reveal the monster which was there all along...

8. "Because the Caucasian with the string instrument will win, that's why."

http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/71021/five-questions-on-american-idol-why-do-they-even-bother-letting-the-guys-sing
"Remember, just two seasons ago, Steven Tyler couldn't even sustain a judges-table erection after the third week of auditions without an external pumping apparatus, which Randy really resented having to operate. But he eventually rebounded, and so will Nicki. She will open the #####-vault, dive into a shimmering pile of ####s, and emerge with a greedy armload of ##### when it matters. Believe it."

9. "All the way to the back of Angela's skull."

"I’m also worried that “dead eyes” means “not huge Angie Miller puppy eyes” but that’s a double-edged sword because if you’ve got big sparkly pageant eyes, it’s easier to look into them and see just how far back the emptiness goes"

10. "How about Festive Cooking?"

"I’ve been receiving some criticism in recent weeks for fast-forwarding through large portions of the show and not living up to my billing as an “American Idol expert.” Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, in my defense, I present to you this week’s episode, which was so awful that I considered enrolling in an adult education class at Pasadena City College that only met on Wednesday nights between 8 and 10 p.m. Like maybe pottery. Or Forensic Criminology. Anything but watching Janelle Arthur lie about writing an arrangement of a Supremes song when she was 14 and then bleating out the exact same slowed-down, “blues-ified” garbage that some Idol producer has been writing ever since that hipster gave Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” the same treatment."

What surprised me most is that they're just now catching on to the existence of The Frau Factor. There's avoiding discussion & spoiler sites and there's Just Not Figuring Stuff Out.
