I watch all the rounds, mcmaenza. In fact, my wife enjoys the goofy auditions quite a bit which helps get me through them. I'm just saying that I find the "bad audition" shows get boring and seem to drag on forever. I know that these are the highest rated shows of the seasons because people like to watch other people make fools of themselves, but it doesn't do much for me personally. The judges also seem extremely bored with 99% of it and the other 1% where they show interest seems phony.

I'm really hoping they get a talented and diverse bunch of finalists like they had for season 5 and avoid people like Sanjaya and Antonella from last year that just didn't belong in the finals.
