Well for the first time in the history of this show I turned it off. My wife and I have faithfully watched every show of every season. And, even with starting the show a half hour later thanks to tivo, even the absense of commercials couldn't keep us there.
There are a couple of reasons, the biggest being that there is not a single thing about Fantasia that either myself or my wife like. She is beyond irritating from her voice to her personality.
The other reason is that the judges have lost all of the little credibility they had, for me at least. It used to be that at least Simon would tell it straight, more or less. Of all the contestants this year the only two that they have all pretty much agreed on as being above the others have been Fantasia and LaToya. But somehow this, in their eyes, is the best group yet??? And Simon thinks Fantasia is the best they've ever had??? The judges have screwed up from the beginning, picking a mediocre top 32, and everything they say now is to cover for their mistakes. Fantasia and Diana may be decent, but to even compare them to any of the former winners, or even most in the top 10 from each season is rediculous. Let alone try to tell us that one of them is the best we've seen yet.
I really hope that some changes come about for next season, the biggest being that the judges get with it. It was easily apparent that the judges latched onto a select few in the top 32 and stuck with them all the way through, caring little about the rest. I hope next year they can start to judge on the nightly performances rather than justifying sub-par performances in their critiques of the performers they've liked from the start.

Yes, I too am enjoying the sick humour of WB's Superstar USA.
