What is happening on tonight's one-hour special? Does anyone know?

I clicked on my TV listing for AI and found the answer. Here it is:

Highlights from the current season; contestants describe their experiences;
the six finalists perform.

Sounds boring. Like the mid-Survivor recap show. I'll be watching Fear Factor if it's not a re-run.

Fear Factor is also supposedly a rerun. I'm going to be watching the Helen of Troy miniseries on USA.

According to TVGuide.com, tonight's show is "A recap of the competition so far includes interviews with the remaining six singers and performances." Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if the performances are tapes of the alread-aired performances.

This is Fox at its most desperate. After the failure of "Married by America" they are paranoid that "Mr. Personality" is going to fail as well so they are trying to give it a strong lead in. Hopefully viewers are going to tune out the recrap show. They are trying to make it look like something interesting is going to happen tonight.

But hey, at least they didn't roll out "Joe Millionaire: What You Really Didn't Know and We're Desperately Hoping You Still Care". I think the milk is all dry on that worthless program.

If they just do an hour of the auditions, I will be happy. Those were the funniest shows of all.

I read on another board that the show was taped last week, and they sang songs previously performed on the show. I don't know if it's true, but here are the songs they will reportedly be singing tonight...

Carmen- Can't Hurry Love
Josh- Amazed
Kim L- I Can't Make You Love Me
Ruben- Superstar
Trenyce- I Have Nothing
Clay- Somewhere Out There

I take it back. This sounds okay. Since Fear Factor is a rerun, I'll be watching. But I will hit the clicker right after. I will NOT watch the Monica Lewinski show.

I'll likely watch. I think I will watch the Monica Lewinski show also. If ever a show existed where you can be snarky without guilt, it would be Mr. Personality!

I'm with Hobbs! I'll probably watch AI tonight, but NO Monica for me!

No Monica here. New episodes of 7th Heaven (the wedding) and Everwood, topped off with a new episode of RW/RR battle of the sexes where hopefully Emily finally stomps out).

Carmen handled her interview well and she actually sounded better than usual, which leads me to wonder of it is taped and she is lip-synching.

Carmen handled the interview very well. Her song Turn the Beat Around was too yodelly for my taste.

I didn't understand Josh's answer about what he will do after AI, the part where he talked about the Marines. He said he had to finish that job, and something about September. Is that the end of his stint with them?

Kim sang I Can't Make You Love Me....perfectly, IMO. There's something about her personality I don't like, but love her voice.

Ruben said he misses Rickey a whole lot, and he wants everyone to buy millions of Rickey's CDs when they come out. Ruben is singing Superstar. His hat tonight bent his left ear down or made it stand out in an odd way.....distracting, ditch the hat. Beautiful voice, as always, flawless.

Trenyce sang I Have Nothing, sitting on a stool. She pointed a lot, finger flapped (less than usual, I think), and sounded terrific to me.

Poor Mak, are you talking to yourself? LOL!

I just popped in. I think Kim Locke was amazing tonight; best so far. Ruben was great, as was Trenyce. Clay is coming up next. Josh and Carmen, IMHO, paled next to K, R and T.

Here is Clay. :)

Yes, Hermi, I am! GO CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, he is singing to ME!!!!!! This song is for ME!!!!

I am so in love. Excuse me while I clean the drool from my keyboard....

Clay's interview was the best. He finds the "fame" interesting, almost bordering on scary at times. The Raleigh YMCA has received increased donations since he has been seen on AI. He finds it humbling. He did a perfect rendition of Somewhere Out There.

It was a cool interview with Clay, wasn't it? :) Not that I am biased or anything! I liked tonight's show. There is one thing or another that I like about all of them.

They are getting ready to sing together. All Night Long by Lionel Richie.

The 6 are singing All Night Long.

Yeah, I am quite smitten. Not quite sure why. He is miles away from my usual "type." Okay enough of that. Sorry to bore everyone yet again with my Clay rhapsodizing!

I always like the group sings. They look like they are having fun!!

Well, I have some chores to do around the house and I am going to catch part of Mr. Personality just so I can laugh my butt off!

Good night Mak!!! (and everyone else)

Whoo hoo!

They all have talent. I have my favorites, like everyone. I liked tonight's show because we didn't have to listen to the judges, and the kids seemed more relaxed. I've never heard CLAY talk so much! Yes, a cool interview.

Good night Hermi!! I hope our posts will help the west coasters decide if they want to watch tonight or not.
