meitantei_cjSpoilers for tonight if anyone watches, but I already posted this link before.
Okay, I haven't really been paying attention (which is what happens when you find Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator), but at least two people from this list have been on tonight's show. I almost missed David Archuleta. Seriously, after the audition shows, I'm not watching anymore. I'm sure there have been instances on the show where people were allowed to audition/make it through to the next round because of their connections, but when you run a show based on the premise that you're discovering UNDISCOVERED talent, and you pull in someone who already had an album out, you're killing it. By the very definition of that show, Carly Hennessy should not be there. She put out a CD years ago. It only sold 300 copies, but she put out a CD. And she was supposed to be on the show in season five--still after her album had come and gone--and got kicked off because she didn't have her visa yet.
If they changed the show's premise to fit the plants they're going to put in, it'd be fine. I wouldn't mind because they'd be honest about what it is they're doing, and the plants wouldn't really be plants, either. -_- I know the show is a marketing vehicle, but come on...
Waiting for Jermaine Paul to show up. Unless he already has. Like I said, I haven't been paying attention. 9_9
Hopefully this'll be the last year. Maybe the ratings will suck so hard they just can it.
But anyway, to put a lighter tone to this entry--click the Brawndo link. Look at the ads on YouTube. (The first two on the site, specifically... the other three don't have the same style to them.) Seriously, they're retarded. I was on the phone with Craig when I found them and we were cracking up just from the sheer randomness of it all. (And the fact that despite originating from a satirical movie, it's an actual product.)
