Will you watch American Idol in 2005?
This means from start to completion. This does not count the people who watch the first couple shows, but who have had a vested interest in watching the competition all the way from start to finish.
At this point I'd like to say I won't watch but I probably will get suckered in. Although after all the shenanigans of this season, with shitty talent making it very far and great talent being booted much too soon.. I really shouldn't be watching.

Here's me every year:
First Episode: "I'll just watch to see the bad auditions. Ha ha ha."
Last Episode: "I'm still here? CRAP."
The show is like a narcotic.

I hope for more self control next season, but somehow I doubt it. I expect I'll be watching that other Fox Tuesday show next year too. *sigh*

I only watch the first show or two... just to see who gets the boot. And I can barely stomach THAT. After that, it's "American, what? oh, is THAT still on?"
I didn't watch any shows from the first season... I couldn't get past Ryan Seacrest and his weasel sidekick. I didn't think that any on-screen presence could be more annoying than Bob Saget on "America's Funniest Video"... but they managed to top that.

I don't watch them until they reach the final 12. Not because I don't want to see who gets there, but I'm tired of the b.s. they mix into it. 75% of the episodes are "worst ofs". It drove me crazy.

I'll be watching, although I may skip the initial auditions. With the suck-cess of William Hung, every nitwit who can't sing is going to audition and try to make a quick payoff.
