Is reality tv ever going to go away?

The thing is, why would he think that telling the world about his strange hobby would be an asset? I don’t get.
It grosses me out just thinking about it

Can't get on the show unless you can get in front of the Trio... it's my understanding they are looking for strange sorts out in the holding areas to pass through.
Lots of decent singers don't ever make it through that part.
If you can be decent with a quirk you increase your odds.

I was rudely introduced to idol on Tuesday, turned it to fox expecting to see a rerun of house (best show on tv, in my opinion) and had to see 1 second too many of that garbage show, i turned after 1 second

Sorry to hear that, I personally think the show is enriched with priceless entertainment.
Plus Dexter, Big Love, Weeds, Hereos, and multiple other good shows are in there down time, so Idol works for now.

And how long will some of those shows be on permanent down time with the writers strike and all?

I agree.
I like Idol.

For the record, everything that we are seeing now has happened months ago, and the Idol producers are putting together a very small sample of the hundreds of thousands of clips to generate reviews.
Last year a vast majority of the clips they played were of the bad auditions.
They were trying to cash in on the humor aspect, but audiences actually began to get tired of them.
This year it looks like they are going for stories and background people.
The real Idol doesn't really start until the next round IMHO.

To be honest, fingernail boy wasn't a very good singer, and I doubt he will make it past the next round.
The meth girl, however, was surprisingly good.

Just goes to show you how truly this country, and especially Hollywood is messed up!
