A Love/Hate Relationship

posted on august 13, 2002, tag: entertainment

I've been watching American Idol since the start, and I've even talked about it here once. I really enjoyed watching idiots make fools of themselves, and Simon Cowell is a terrific guy when it comes to dishing out insults.

But lately, I've begun to hate the fact that I love the show. This is mainly due to the fact that there are only 5 people left, as of tonight, yet each episode is still an hour long. That means, after singing a song of approximately 3 minutes, there are still 45 minutes to be filled. And that's usually accomplished with too many commercials, and lots of little segments on stuff I could care less about.

And it's going to get worse. Next week there will only be 4 people. And after that, only 3. Oh, dear God, that's too many commercials. I hate that I love this show.
