Jonah,

Rest assured you are not the only person who thought “Idol Gives Back” was a shameless self promotional vehicle for AMERICAN IDOL. That said, seventy million dollars raised for charity is nothing to sneeze at.

Am I the ONLY person who thought the whole “Idol Gives Back” was just an incredibly self-serving “look at me” promotion for the show? I could not gag down one second of any previous such programs. I’m glad, of course, that some underserved people probably received some assistance, but the whole concept just seemed like a chance for D-list celebs to hog the music spotlight.

No, thanks. And, for the record, since there’s no Hollywood strike this year, I have ZERO intention of being sucked into the Idol machine again. Jason Castro himself couldn’t lure me back.

Good question about when a spoiler stops being a spoiler. And without spoiling anything, I’ll agree with your disappointment in the Carver reveal. It was bad enough that it his/her identity was such an obvious choice, but then in classic Nip/Tuck style, they had to take it even a step further and turn the Carver situation into something sicker than it already was. I think I may have given the show a final chance for one more season, but the Carver reveal was always a significant reason I stopped watching.

And, still without revealing spoilers, I will tease that at least one of Nick’s questions above does not contain its correct answer in parentheses.

Should we also not reveal that Joey chose (Dawson / Pacey)?

Felicity chose (Ben / Noel)?

Lucy Camden gave birth to (twins / triplets)?

Buffy saved the (world / underworld)?

Lorelai wound up marrying (Sookie / Luke)?

CT: just so you know that person is an idiot. If they didn’t stop you in the beginning of the convo it’s their fault. Same for the Harry Potter person. At this point it’s old news and if you don’t want to know, read/watch your book/dvds immediately and don’t go out until you do.

I can’t believe they’re slashing Idol Gives Back. The only redeeming thing about that show. And when the economy isn’t doing well charities are the first to lose out. Nice move Idol. I will continue to not watch you now.
