American Idol 2009!!!!![SPOILERS AFTER FRIDAY NIGHTS SHOW]

It's when they poke fun at those who have obvious issues that I cringe.

I agree. But it would be nice if the producers didn't encourage those people and push them along in the first place. They should never have to face the judges at all.

I think they realize this now FINALLY!  You can tell the judges hate it most of the time as well!

I'm watching it right now!!!  Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

(not that I'm rubbing it in or anything )

Me, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've read a couple interviews with her, and I like her.  She's a singer (apparently quite a good one) as well, so it's going to be fun when people try to pull an "As if you could do better!".  Everything I've seen says she's more like Simon than anyone else, which can only be a good thing!!

Plus - and this is the best part - they're expanding Hollywood Week!!  Yay!!

So far I like the new judge.  There were a couple of people I'm very interested in seeing how they will do during Hollywood week. 

She's ok. I don't love her, but don't loathe her either!

Just a friendly reminder that Television Without Pity does excellent "weecaps" of each episode.  It's required reading for me during AI!

Thank you!  I'll read this on Friday.

Do they still do full AI recaps, or just wee ones?

Oh, and I won't see it until tomorrow night, but is it true that Ryan Seacrest tried to high five a blind dude? 

Have you heard/read/seen bikini girl? Gotta say.....she's got chutzpah!

They call them weecaps, but they're always several pages long.  Last night's is listed as 18 (although I doubt they're full pages) long.

HAHA!! Yes!..He did! I cackled at that one.

They used to do a mini-recap the night of the show (or the morning after) that was called a wee-cap. Then a few days later, the full thing would turn up - at 18-20 pages. I wonder if they've changed it now. It's great that the long recap is already available!

I think they're just doing the full-blown recap the next morning.  Isn't that how they did it last season?  Sad that I've forgotten already.
