It premieres May 29th. It is a great show with some really good talent. The judges are also very good. It's too bad that it isn't available somewhere in the U.S. because I think you would enjoy it.

I download this one I love it. I was a Suzie fan last year, but after she left I switched over to Rex.

Suzie was my favorite last year as well (though I liked Melissa and Rex as well). By the way, Melissa and Rex (last year's winner and runner-up) are a couple!

Thanks Jimmer! I will run a game again this year for anyone interested. I understand from what I read that the judges will narrow the field to 22 versus 32 (when we can start to vote)

You could take very wild guesses Naja, you may end up fairing far better than those who watch it! Jimmer, it's going to be nice having such a smooth transition right into CI from AI. Hi Jan!!! big wave

Gosh Mak, I am not sure if there is one or not. I do see that the Official Website has a video link but I don't know what they will show on the video. I hope someone can come up with something for you - I guess you don't get the Canadian feed in your state ( I know that some of the border states do)?

An article at the official site says there will be a new format this year with only 22 , rather than 32, finalists. The article also gives the following schedule: Here's how this summer's episodes will unfold (be sure to check your local listings to confirm dates and times): Monday, May 29 / Monday, June 5 / Monday, June 12 (8 to 9 p.m. ET): Highlights from Canadian Idol's 2006 audition tour. Monday, June 19 / Tuesday, June 20 (8-9 p.m. ET): Watch the drama unfold as Canadian Idol's first-ever "Top 200" Gold Ticket group is whittled down to only 22 semi-finalists by Canadian Idol's celebrity judges. Week of June 26: It's Canadian Idol's 100th episode and to celebrate the Top 22 semi-finalists will perform live, after which voters will take to the telephones to vote for their favourites. A different group of 11 will perform each night during two 90-minute live broadcasts. On the third night, the voting outcome is revealed in a live 30-minute results episode, and four members of the Top 22 will be sent home. Week of July 3: divided into two groups of nine, the remaining 18 finalists will perform live over two nights, after which voters will cast their votes. On the third night, the voting outcome is revealed in a live, 30-minute results episode. Four members of the Top 18 will be sent home. Week of July 10: divided into two groups of seven, the remaining 14 finalists will perform live over two nights. On the third night, Canada meets the Canadian Idol Top 10 when the final four members of the Top 22 are eliminated in a 30-minute show. Week of July 17: Canadian Idol returns to Toronto's John Bassett Theatre for the first Top 10 show, a special 90-minute, live episode. On the next night, one member of the Top 10 goes home in the first live Top 10 results show. Idol will continue for the next eight weeks with live performance shows on one night and live results shows on the next.

I know that the wonderful Naja downloads the shows from somewhere, so maybe she can help out with that? I wish I knew more about how to do this so I could help out directly.

Thanks, Jan and Jimmer. We get CBMT, but they don't carry it. I'll keep checking the official site and all the links at Sirlinksalot.

great article , Jasper. This quote from Jake is encouraging: We raised the age limit and all of a sudden we found all these singers that had had careers. We have a couple of people who were in real bands that viewers would know. We could potentially have the best Top 10 anyone has ever seen. Anywhere.
