South Africa Idol

As I might have told most of you already there isn’t all that much TV to watch over here. Tuesday night is the only “Must See TV” night with Alias and CSI:Miami back to back. With the picking so slim I will watch just about anything that’s on one of the 10 channels we get. The TV stations must know this because we acually have a channel over here that is totally dedicated to South African Idol. That’s right, it shows nothing but the raw uncut auditions of everyone who wants to be the new Idol in South Africa. You really start to feel for the judges after a while because I’ll watch an hour or so at a time and not see anyone that gets the go ahead for the next round. The think the worst part is that since it’s uncut even the bad singers go for a minute of two before the judges stop them. It’s painful, but at the same time really funny.
