American Idol’s Ratings DOWN!!!

kara_diog

Okay, okay, they’re still doing better than all the competition, by far, but the season-opener today was a 10% ratings drop over last year’s opener.

However, they still brought in 30.1M viewers, so not too shabby.

What did you guys think about the new judge, Kara DioGuardi? I found her to be immensely annoying, and I’d almost rather have Bikini Girl judge the damn thing. I was also sad that they focused so much on good auditions. And when they focused on bad auditions, it was all well-behaved, sweet people who weren’t good singers. I want the focus on the CRAZIES who LOSE THEIR SHIT. Let’s ENCOURAGE that, because it’s totally the best thing on TV.

Also does anyone know where in Phoenix those auditions took place? I grew up in the area, but I couldn’t quite place that hotel. It’s driving me nuts.

    • I sure don’t! lol

      In my opinion, the first season should have been the last season. And yet, even though most winners go on to umm, nothing, they just keep doing it? Why take away two or three nights of good tv shows for this overrated crap???

  • Looked like they were shot at a hotel attached to or next to the arena… and last year they got all kinds of grief for showing all the crazies and how they were maniupating the unfortunate souls…. I agree, why I watch this week is for the whack jobs. Loved the Bikini Girl stalking Ryan and kissing him; and they played ” I kissed a girl”… he didn’t know what to do.

  • I wanted to see a threesome with Bikini Girl, Kara and Paula. Now that would have got some ratings! And a few more male viewers, I suspect. Think about it, a female viewer telling her husband, “look, honey, a chick in a bikini is making out with Kara on American Idol!”

  • All I’ve seen of last night’s Idol is the clip of Ryan Seacrest trying to high-five a blind guy, and it sort of made my day.

      • We totally did the same thing!! I laughed so hard I cried. It’s even saved so that whenever I need a good laugh, I can always view it.

        Our new put down:
        You’re so stupid you’d try to give a blind guy a high five.

  • I actually liked Kara, and that took me completely by surprise.

    Still loving the show but wondering if it’s jumped the shark…probably. If not, it’s very close.

  • I’m liking Kara. It’s about time the estrogen equals the testosterone.

    We aren’t Idol fans, but we do watch the first week, because that’s when we always have the best laughs. It’s like America’s Funniest Home Videos on crack.

    Oh, and what’s up with Castro’s younger brother? Do you all really believe the kid started singing 20 days ago?!!

  • Do not like Kara at all, and while I think bikini girl needed to be bitche slapped….Kara clearly was dying to sing for us to show us how talented SHE thinks SHE is.

    She’s annoying!!!!!!

  • The set of judge auditions was done 2 months after the arena ones, which were done at the jobing inc arena. I took my daughter and we were in the same row as bikini girl.

  • She looks like a friend’s friend. This girl is ugly and hates anyone who is better looking than her which is pretty much everyone. Her two sons are ugly just like their mother. Faccia Brute!

  • Hey fucker, u urself can’t sing, why don’t u back off from insulting kara? U son of a bitch. Get a life, gigolo.
