American Idol '08

I really enjoy the show. Every time I watch it though....have to wonder what Paula brings to the show. I would think they could get someone on that has more of an opinion. She seems like a girl that just can't say no.

Well, this week we get to the meat and potatoes part, let's see who made it, and make the first round of cuts!!!

I'm curious about who makes it to the top 24 tonight. I really liked the Brooke that performed with the keyboard (the Carol King/Carly Simon sound alike - not the beauty queen that got cut), but in the coming attractions, you see her crying on the elevator. I'm just hoping those are tears of joy.

There does seem to be a lot more talent this year, and so far, no Sanjaya wannabe, thank goodness

OK, I'm really excited about the top 24. There were a couple that I was surprised about getting through, but for the most part, I think we've got a competition, people!!!!!!

I agree - it is getting better.

AI usually switches it's night when the 24 are picked, right? :( If not I'll have to invest in DVR - again! I can't miss both!

AI & The Biggest Loser are great shows. I am a reality show addict. Although I don't watch ALL of them, I watch a lot of them. Yes, whoever doesn't have the DVR or TIVO, get it, it's worth it. However, I am super ready for the writer's strike to end so I can get on with my other non-reality shows as well, like Lost, Ugly Betty & 24 for starters.

The writer's strike is over, but they're saying it could be several more weeks before some shows are new again, with the exception of some sitcoms, and don't look for any new episodes of 24 for the rest of this season.

Well that sucks! 24 is one of my very favorite shows. I love me some Keifer. Well thank God at least the strike is over now.

Well, finally watched the selection show last night. Man they can relly be cruel to some of the people selected, making them think the decision was going to opposite way. But I am glad that the contestants I liked went through, like Brooke White. From appearances sake and of those who were highlighted, it does seem like it's a strong group. Let's hope so.

YOu know, I was a fan the first couple of seasons, then I grew tired of it.... but my family loves it, so I watch it anyway and I always end up getting hooked...., after it's over, then I never care for the winners anymore.... I guess I'm weird....
I'm just not into reality TV.....
I do think it's a good group though, it looks better than other seasons...

HELP!!! My DVR stopped recording the show just as they were going to choose between the last two women. Im dying to know who made it, the thick one or the thin one? ( I am so terrible with names lol)

renewedhope · 02-16-2008, 10:03 AM

My DVR stopped recording too. I would love to know which made it as well.

travelgirl · 02-16-2008, 12:08 PM

The thick one made it. They sent the skinny one home. I'm terrible with names, too! LOL

pammycakes · 02-16-2008, 12:45 PM

Thank you Travelgirl!! She is the one I was hoping would make it.

renewedhope · 02-16-2008, 08:43 PM

I was rooting for her as well.

Is it just me or is Simon being much kinder this year.
