Why don't we call that no talent diva show. Not one of those so called singers can actually sing well. They mostly grunt and holler and yodel. That's what passes for singing these days. This is what happens when you let the low classess determine who wins. Low rent lack of taste is now America.

I'm happy to hear that ABC has renewed Wipeout for
a 3'rd season, and plans on putting the show into
syndication on ABC Family, as well as airing a
Wipeout Spin-off in the future. I hope Wipeout
makes it to 100 episodes, if ABC has the balls to
make it happen.

The only show worth mentioning in all of those was The Tudors, and I like Joely Richardson, so it'll be interesting to see her as Katherine Parr.

Oh what joyous news! A poorly written, poorly directed TV drivel show, with non-divas and empty heads. Television proves once again it designed for IQ under 80.
