Past seasons of AI had a much better mix of good audition/bad audition footage. Also, bad auditions used to just be bad singers. Last season was a low point, I think, in terms of just picking out truly disturbed people (or those who were not physically attractive - bush baby and the girl with the floor length hair) and inviting America to make fun of them. Not ok. I will howl about the ghetto, wanna be diva who goes off on a cursing rampage when she doesn't make it through because at least she has all of her faculties about her and is just a little delusional about her "talent". But when you ask me to mock a former Special Olympian, you have crossed the line.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Cat looks like one of those dolls with the crochet skirt that you put over a roll of toilet paper. Not a good look on anybody.

Hip hop clogger! Good times, good times. I hope he tries out again.
If we must have filler, this is better than most.
