I will admit that I loved this show this season. That might be tacky of me, but whatever. I was so glad that Terry Fator won -- the Roy Orbison skit was awesome! My second favorite was Cas Haley. Like Piers said, he did Sting better than Sting. Up until the Roy Orbison skit, Julienne Irwin was my favorite. It is amazing that a fourteen-year-old girl has so much poise and so much talent. But she is pitchy and needs voice lessons before she's a million-dollar talent. I didn't like Butterscotch at first (don't particularly like the beatboxing), but when I saw her at the piano, it reminded me of Alicia Keyes which put her in my personal top group. I think that all three vocalists who didn't win will probably get contracts, so they'll do just fine.

I am such a fan that yesterday I watched the entire season of reruns on Bravo (while doing laundry, paying bills, etc.). :blush:

So, were any of you "America's Got Talent" fans this season?

I saw the final announcement last night and was glad the guy won who won. He is very talented. I liked them both. The rest of the million $ talent wasn't so great in my super humble opinion. Julienne is real cute. She'll do something. Gotta go! Going to West Side Story at the Fox tonight.

No, have not watched. Mainly because I was too busy watching So You Think You Can Dance, among every other reality show I can possibly watch. :rolling:

But I know plenty of people who watch your show. (We all hang out together. :cool:)

I'm not gonna lie -- we are also addicted to "The Singing Bee" and "Don't Forget The Lyrics." I think those shows are harder than Jeopardy, just not as cerebral. :floor: Most of the time when I think I know every word of a song, I'll be off by at least one word. :bang:

In this ever-changing world, it's nice to know that steadfast loyalty like this exists. I'm glad you like your shows so much, Johnrudy. Enjoy! (but don't you think you can squeeze another one in?) :rolling:

I watched the first show, but was also a So You Think You Can Dance fan. I did, however, see part of the final results show last night. The Hoff singing made me laugh--and he wasn't trying to be funny. :roll:

Oh, Hoff was horrible! Would have loved to have heard Piers' true assessment.

I am still trying to catch up with The Real World episodes I missed the last two weeks. Top Chef is also tonight and I am slowly learning how to work the Tivo that has been hooked up for a year. :biggrin: :wave:

Mermy...leave us alone, you sound like Mr. Kitty. :roll: We are happy with our reality tv. :trainwreck:

Why thank you. (I'm refraining from saying more but... i'm trying to act like the 50 yr. old that I am :roll:).

Anyway, there really are too many reality shows to keep up with. :clap:

I have refrained from writing all of them down so I don't forget. I don't want to look too crazy. ;-) whoops...too late! :wave:

I have been watching most of "Talent" missed an epi or two - but did watch the winner get crowned last night.

When the "Hoff" started singing I was ok with it .. It is what it is. BUT THE END OF THE SONG! :yikes: I kind of wished I would have changed the channel. It hurt my ears. :blink: :bang:

Well, now Anchorwoman (?) is on Fox. HOWEVER, I'm NOT watching it, but I can HEAR it. I'm actually trying to get a little work done.

Why work when you can try and play Slingo (think Bingo and slots) and post on Sowal at the same time? :idontno:

As you can see, I'm not working too hard. Working from home, at any time of the day or night, can make a 30 minute job end up taking 2 hours. Too many distractions! Too many reality tv shows. :lol:

I caught a few AGT and loved the winner. He was really good.. I liked the runner up too. One thing I did notice was how much the 14 year old girl changed from beginning to end...talk about a makeover!!

ALSO, please tell me how anyone can watch So you think you can dance? My daughter is even a dancer and I cannot bear to watch the woman judge. She is beyond obnoxious. She's like Marie Osmond on crack.:lol:

I didn't watch this one. The previews looked entertaining though. Was the winner that good or did you like him cause his name rhymed with Gator? :biggrin:

This guy is certifiable ! He's a Svengali! Who the hail would put their house on the market and sell it just cause he commanded it! His dogs get massages and acupuncture! He must realllllllly pay well! :roll:

I don't think I could poker at the same time. Too much thinking. :bang:

I know - I work from home some. Sometimes it's easier to take the ol' laptop outside to escape the distractions! :roll:

True, and they talk too much (more than I can handle ;-)) I only liked the dancing. The kids were just amazing.

There were several shows I tried to watch including the one looking for the next big director - that had too much yapping. If I want to hear people talk I'll turn on the radio. :shock:
