Why American Idol Sucks this Season

SPOILER ALERT

I'd like to go on record as saying I don't like this season's method of selecting the Final 12 for American Idol. Of course, no one asked me first.

It seems like a month ago (but it wasn't) that we had the first 12 contestants compete and then "America voted" and 3 were selected.

Then we had the next 12.

This week the next.

We ended up with 9 contestants ~ 3 female, 6 male.

Then last night the judges selected 8 competitors for the "wild card" spots. This means they picked the contestants they thought would boost ratings, i.e. Tatiana del Toro pictured above. Is Tatiana this year's Sanjaya? Well, no, 'cause she can sing somewhat, but she definitely wins the award for Most Obnoxious and Contestant You Would Love to Shoot with a Harpoon Gun.

They also selected Von Smith who was sporting an Ed Grimley haircut, tatted but cute Megan Corkrey from Utah (are tattoos even legal in Utah?), and six others not worth remembering.

BORING!

There's a reason why America didn't vote for these 8 ~ cause they don't deserve it.
