...ditto and absolutely agree one billion percent

I've been completely disinterested in Idol this season... it's been placed on the dvr backburner and I don't think I've actually sat through an entire episode yet before deleting it.

The whole "bad/worse/worst auditions" schtick has gotten really old after nearly a decade... especially without the back n forth between Pauler and Simon.

Christin Chenowith has been the only bright spot so far, and I really wish they had picked her up as the permanent Pauler replacement instead of Ellen.
