Yes! I'm repulsed yet I cannot turn away. It's like NFL preseason games -- we ease back into the game while getting to laugh at people we'll never, ever see again.
Although, last night, a few of those people had to be doing a bit. The blonde girl who followed the juggling guy? When she said that Ace was her favorite Idol ever -- he wanted to be "my father figure!" -- I realized she was actually making fun of the show. Genius.
And I did cry when that one kid phoned his mom with the news that he had made it.
A couple of contestants ("superfan" and the boy before her) smelled strongly of "plant, fake, or other character actor" to me. Juggler boys seemed real enough. Can't watch - I get a rash.
As someone who once lived in Seattle, I have several theories. First: narcotics. It's the drug-takingest city I've ever seen. Second: it can't be healthy to live so long without actual sunlight.
Also Lori may be right about the plants and fakes. At least I hope she's right. I'd hate to think there are that many people so lacking in self-awareness.

On the upside, Paula seems surprisingly lucid.

I agree with the plant theory. And red hair/red shirt guy was a classic EUONYMUS.
Oooo - points for a pun that's also a jab?
