Pamy, I think at the end they said it would re-air on Sunday. Last week they reaired on Friday, so keep an eye peeled. It's on both Monday and Tuesday nights, so far.

I SO enjoyed this show, much more than the AI finale. What does that say about me? LOL. I still don't know how the judges keep a straight face.

I don't agree with the 4 they cut. I agree with Seamonkey -- the navel pierced future transgender guy was the most entertaining. I just died when he said he wanted to be Britney Spears. His voice was horrible -- why'd they cut him? Also, the asian guy they cut. He seemed like such a nice kid and also had a terrible voice. I liked him.

I would not have kept the rock-n-roll guy -- can't think of what he sang. He actually has an okay voice but is just a bit over the top. He's certainly not terrible. Nina Diva also isn't a terrible singer, but I think they like her Diva behavior.

Abby, as I watched last night I wondered if they had these contestants talk to a psychologist before they were allowed on the show. I hope so. They need to be able to handle the "joke".

Last nights show will repeat on Sunday, and Monday night they are supposed to cut from 8 to 4 contestants left.

I watched this last night and was surprised that the judges manage to keep a straight face while they are commenting (maybe that's why Tone-Loc didn't say much and hid behind his glasses,afraid he'd laugh). Those people are going to be crushed when they are told what the show is really about. I felt horrified and guilty while watching this, but yeah watched the whole thing (in my defence I was taping 24 to watch with my husband later and there wasn't anything else on).

Did anyone else notice in the previews of the audience that Marcelle from BB was in the crowd, or were my eyes deceiving me?

Great page Ryn! I didn't notice Marcellus, but that sure is him in the audience.

Looking again at who they cut. I would have kept Ross and Frank and got rid of John Michael (he's too good) and probably Rosa or Omar. I think Rosa seems to have a language barrier and hearing her sing songs where she can't decipher the lyrics is just kind of sad. Omar is a bad singer, but he just seems too meek and nice for this bad joke.

I wonder if they cut Frank because he is only 18 - I too wondered why they kept John Michael - he was bad in his audition but once he had a music track to sing with he didn't do that bad..

I haven't a clue who Briggs is - seems to me like a wannabe actor playing a part - he reminds me of "Chandler" from Friends.

Briggs is referred to as "a producer" at reality tv and a "television producer" at a couple of sites..

Yeah - his full name is listed as "Chris Briggs" - I still think he is just an actor playing a part.

I so hope that Mario and Rosa are the final two. I am just cracking up thinking about them doing a duet. I love this show. The judges comments are hilarious. Love the host mocking Ryan Seacrest.

I agree Ryn, I think he is an actor and he is spoofing Seacrest..I keep waiting for him to say Biggs-out!

I am watching it now and it just cracks me up! The judges are killing me!

I can't believe the audience didn't laugh at the judges comments, if I was there I would have totally figured out it was a joke.

I thought Chris Briggs was one of the judges and it is the host who is spoofing Seacrest.

Whatever.. whew.. so you are finally seeing the episode, Pamy.. good deal!!

Saw this for the first time today. I honestly couldn't stop watching and hated myself for it! I couldn't laugh without feeling guilty, but how can these people not know they're bad? Do they not have ears of their own?

I was surprised they didn't cut the "Born to Be Wild" guy and keep the cross-dresser with the odd dance moves. The girl with the big boobs was sufficiently awful enough to stay, but wow does she ever look like a young Anna Nicole.

The disclaimer at the end says some of the judges reactions were re-enacted later. I wonder it's because they couldn't keep a straight face the first time.

How funny to see Marcellus there. Remember how he said he had that hang-up about people singing in live performances? This won't help.

LOL Curly!!

I wonder if they were re-enacted because when they did them live they said things that would have made sense to the audience that was told the contestants were terminally ill.

That part still bothers me, with all the waiters, er actors in Hollywood they could have filled that studio with extras!

I didn't get the impression there was an audience in yesterday's shows. Was there? It looked like they were performing on a stage and only the judges were there. I don't remember any applause. Then they said in the previews that the final four would appear before a live audience which made it sound like it would be the first time.

I do agree that they should've just gotten people who were in on it to be the audience instead of making up that Make a Wish lie.

I watched part of it yesterday but didn't get to hear all the interviews, etc. I have a gal who does some housework for me and she was over here and vacuuming part of the time so I couldn't hear it all. Will watch tonight, just since there's nothing else on. I hate this drought of no good shows on right now,uggggggggghhhhhhh
