The boys bore me - they are, apart from Blake, and even he is to a degree, so bland. The only thing that distinguishes them for the most part is Blake does the whole beat box thing, Phil is freaky looking, dude, what is with the hat? Please. And that shirt, remember? The one no one could figure out if it was supposed to be like that or if he had wiped his dirty hands on his chest before he sang? Nah, Phil needs help. The other dude, I can't even remember his name, he is cute but forgettable.
I did not like Cat Deeley at the start - she had the snobby, better than this attitude, like, 'let's all make fun of the Americans together' sort of wink-wink thing going on, and it was pointless. Now, however, she seems to have been bitten by the bug and is coming across as geniunely interested in AI, the contestants, the whole thing, and I like her a lot better for it.
AND we may not get the Ford adverts, but we get Humdrum Idol, which has got to be a fair trade.
