well, I loved it. Some of those people are not sincere, just trying to get on TV so I don't feel sorry for them. None of them would be on the show if they hadn't agreed to be shown. Yes, I felt sorry for some, but there was a lot of talent, can't wait to see how many make it in Hollywood.
I don't watch much network TV, so the writer's strike hasn't bothered my viewing yet.
I guess it just takes all kinds of taste to make the world, lol.
