Damn, this week was rough to watch
Show is on Wed and Thurs here.
First night was group night, where the 100+ participants formed groups of up to 5 and performed.
This was a two hour show in which absolutely no performing was done for a full 40 minutes. profiles.
I don't care to hear the sob stories.
Anyway they kept some or all from each group and rejected others.
The next night were solo performances from contestants that the judges were still out on.
Once again keeping some, not others.
So now I think we are down to around 50.
Next week they will choose their final 24, at which point the competition will actually begin.
Too early now to make any predictions or analysis, but I will do so for each week left.

Wouldn't even say I am "into" it.
A sense of duty I suppose
I watch so you don't have to.
I don't watch it live.
I only watch the performance.
Most of those guys I listed sucked
