It's been several years since I've cared about the outcome of American Idol. The contestants are all starting to look the same to me and half the time I get them confused with people on Top Model. Apparently, I'm not alone. While it's still a ridiculously high-rated show, Last season's Idol did experience a ratings dip. Now, even its executive producer is jumping ship.Nigel Lythgoe has produced Idol for seven seasons, but according to sources, he's grown tired of the singing competition and has said privately that he's "not passionate about it anymore." Instead, Lythgoe is going to spend more time with his other successful Fox competition show, So You Think You Can Dance. This comes on the heels of news that Fox has picked up Dance for a 5th season.
Even though SYTYCD is a summer show, it attracts a good audience and a lot of buzz. Plus its stars are adorably crazy, as opposed to Paula Abdul crazy. Which show is your favorite? Are you still devoted to Idol, or does Dance take the formula and do it better?
A day hasn't gone by where we haven't received some sort of tip or email asking us, the TV Squad, how to get on [insert reality show here]. Unfortunately no, Simon Cowell does not work for us, and Donald Trump isn't my BFF, so we really can't help all that much.
