We speak, most specifically, of American Idol 2007, which premiered last week in Seattle and Minneapolis. Some notes on those we'll be seeing more of, some weird entrants and pics you'll not see anywhere else on the Internet unless they copy mine.
And an update on the Apprentice LA. A hoot of a swimsuit design task and a would-be apprentice who designed, we're not making this up, a flowery pink swim suit for MEN.
Also with unique pics.

American Idol 2007-Minneapolis and Seattle
It's required that I once again point out, as I have many times in the past, that Fox has a great thing going here. American Idol has proved itself to be a great success and it can safely be said that this reality series will be a part of this country's pop culture for many years to come.
For new singers come of age every year and new singers will take their chance at the American Idol dream.
Which means the singers who are already successful have to watch their backs for the young and the restless are nipping at their heels.
Further, this competition virtually epitomizes the American dream. Why shouldn't the American public pick the next up and coming songster superstar? This is a democracy after all. Of course, the "cheaters" never like an honest system so the lackluster who sleep their way to singing stardom or follow not-so-brightly in a parent's footsteps, I'm thinking Nancy Sinatra here, might find doors closed to them that were previously open to all insiders.
And please don't buy that nonsense about the pre-judging being so "mean". Get a load of some of these people who show up for AI tryouts. American Idol's been around long enough to folks to know what it's about, particularly those who bother to show up for an audition. The ONLY reason these non-singers show up is to gain some notoriety by being the antithesis of American Idol. The WANT the derision and mockery is what I'm saying here.
Below some pics of potential contenders I have identified and some of the crazies.

The Apprentice LA 2007
I am following this year's Apprentice series but it's not easy. The Donald is up against some terrific competition, including "Desperate Housewives" and another reality show "Grease". Even with all the hype over Trump's feud with Rosie O'Donnell I'm not convinced this reality series, once so popular, will last.
First Show 1/7/07 review HERE.
This year's format, besides being in Los Angeles, follows the same pattern as the other shows. Contenders are given a task. The winners get a "reward", usually a trip to somewhere that Donald wants to show off for. This past week it was a trip to the Playboy mansion, oh joy.
The assignment on 1/14/07 was to design swim suits and put on a fashion show.
The real hoot of this show was the swim suit designed for fellows by contestant Carey. Who admitted to being a homosexual, by the way, and goodness, no heterosexual guy would wear that pink frock thing that Carey insisted would be all the rage at beaches and swimming pools across the fruited plains.
We got to listen to The Donald wax on about his great body (yes, HIS great body, meaning the body of The Donald). It was Donald who asked Carey outright if he was a homosexual and it was Donald who said no hetero guy would wear his swim suit.
Carey got fired that night and the winning team was treated to a trip to the Playboy Mansion. Yes, the Playboy Mansion, home of the ageing Hugh Hefner, a big nothing-burger of a guy who's had his day in the sun.
