"But we have to watch. It's the last season." -Dana
We enter this season a bit disheartened by the loss of talent and mullets that occurred last week. RIP Alex, Lilly, and Katelyn....we'll even miss Todrick and his kind of ridiculous performances. At least he could dance. We thought this game was essential last year, until we saw what we're working with this year. Now the game is a matter of life or death for our Idol viewership.
But the show must go on, and we have selected our teams in anticipation of Tuesday night's episode. Theme: Rolling Stones....appropriate because we're short on "satisfaction" thus far.
This year's challengers: The Ripe Bananas, consisting of
- Crystal Bowersox....Mother and harmonica player extraordinaire
- Didi Benami....She had one really good performance, and that was enough for me.
- Siobhan Magnus...weird name, good voice
- Tim Urban....He's so nice; I have to root for him. I'll forgive him for his Week 1 performance.
- Andrew Garcia....girly pop song remaker, next to last pick
- Paige Miles....last pick
The Defending Champions: Formerly "Gentle's Giants" and this year, "The Tone-Deafs" (Kent is NOT enthusiastic about this year's group)
- Casey James...the one Kara is insufferable about (although that is not really specific)
- Mike Lynch...the big guy who is not as good as they act like
- Lee Dewyze...Gokey's voice, Grits' face
- Lacey Brown...I didn't want her
- Aaron Kelly...the reason Kent hates his team
- Katie Stevens...rated slightly ahead of Paige Miles
So, there you have it. Before you think we're hateful and cynical, and wonder why we would watch something that seems to annoy us so much, well....good question. I'll refer to the opening line of this post. Plus, the Idol Challenge is actually quite fun, even if it only averages 2 good performances and one coherent judging comment per week. Stay tuned!
(It's going to be a LONG season)

Strangely, I pick ALL my favorite reality television stars using the same formula. Girls need to have a cute haircut and a few stylish (not trendy) outfits. They cannot be annoying, remind me of Pink, or act like weird high school girls. Guys need long hair--period (think Bo Bice--ahhhh). And the harmonica is major bonus points:)
Ahhh...the Idol Challenge! Glad to see it's back! :) Every year Daniel and I swear off watching the next season, and every year we're plastered in front of the tube rolling our eyes at Kara, muting bad singers, and debating whether Seacrest is gay or not.
Love the team name: Ripe Bananas. Awesome.
