This is just great TV. Why is Tone Loc on the show though? He offers nothing.

The bit where Briggs was telling that contestant that she 'bedded' that song was hilarious!

Eliminated:

Spoiler:
The Anglo Assassin (Ash), The Androgynous One (Ross), Little Miss Broadway (Emily) and the Creepy Thin Kid (Frank).

Yo, yo, ask somebody. Yeah. Go ahead. Ask someone.

"It's a hard song. It's hard, isn't it Briggs?"
"Oh yeah ... it's hard."

Nina Diva's kicks stereotyping Asians as martial arts experts. Brilliant!

"Macfayden ... GONE!"

I don't know what's funnier scarier... Mario's blank stare or JoJo's toothy grin.

He is completely unnecessary when you have Vitamin C and Briggs on the judges panel.

Vitamin C set up Briggs perfectly w/ the hard comment after Jamie (Big Boobs McGee) finished her rendition of "Fallin'".

edit to add: Just saw that das was thinking the same thing.

I think Conan needs to make her his new sidekick (or at least a correspondent).



I like Briggs comment in the preview for next week: "You're like Tom Cruise, but w/out all that Scientology crap."

The show was great tonight (Monday's was not so good).

This is my guess at the final 4:

Rosa (the whole package - terrible singer and mispronounces words. Rosa is competing with Omar for worst voice.)

Omar (really came through with a horrible performance tonight. I didn't see this coming in the audition round, but the judges made the right call by keeping this guy)

Mario (Just horrible looking. Downright creepy. Not the worst singer up there, but his image is top notch).

Jamie (2 performances, both times she read lyrics off of her hand. She's the best singer of my top 4 though.)

I think that Mario is the guy (Toonie) that's posted his thoughts in a thread mentioned in this other thread.

I think I figured it out when I remembered that his avatar is one of the Power Puff girls, and that was his hobby (collecting PowerPuff Girl comic books) on his bio-screen before the announced he was a finalist last night.

If you try to view the image by itself, the file name is "MarioPuffava.jpg"... that him... the "Fuel" wannabe!

I'm loving this show. It's brings on the amazed and astonished factor in high doses. And funny as hell. But I don't understand why they sent Ross and that high heel-wearing dude home.

As for being cruel. It is. But at the same time all these people need a SERIOUS wake-up call.

I haven't watched all of last night's show, and I missed Monday's. Are the contestants totally isolated from each other, or just when they're "performing"? Because I can see them practicing with each other, and realizing the joke...

The comments are funny, but I have the feeling a lot of it isn't on the spot, but edited in later. It's easier to think of funny things to say when you can sit back and watch the performances again, then tape the judges "reactions". Because some of the stuff is SO sarcastic, you'd think one of these guys would realize the truth...

so it's only on for around 3-5 more eps? Since they eliminated four in one go last night, right?

Easily the funniest lines of the night.

The "McFayden Gone" line had me laughing so hard.

Funniest show I've seen in a long time.

Is it just me, or is Jojo the living incarnation of Big Gay Al?

I was dissapointed the "fire.....fire!" guy didn't make it through to the top 12.

Why was Frank tossed? He was easily worse than two or three of the ones that they kept. He scared me a little.

I love Vitamin C. She fills me with joy juice.

Way too many previews. I basically knew the top 12 before any of them were announced based on all the previews throughout the show.

I hate myself for loving this show.

Will they be repeating any of the episodes again? I've missed some of these and the one I saw was sidesplittingly funny.

Thisshow is the very definition of a "guilty pleasure". Never have I felt so guilty for loving a show. I was flipping around in a hotel and landed on this never intending to watch it all the way through but just could not stop.

Too bad this is a one time gig. Those judges beat R, P, and S hands down.
