Have two months of Bad Auditions. Introduce six good contestants in that entire time.
Have a single episode of Hollywood. Show the six good people going through, and a bunch of people like Tatiana del Toro getting cut.
Let Normund Gentle come back, but cut him at The Chair.

Have a Top 36. In each group of twelve, put one good male and and one good female that got all the face time in Hollywood.

Only pimp the worthy contestants, the other 12-18 can go f.uck themselves.

1-2 judges saves per season works fine.

Give Simon and Kara more screen time.

Make this a show more about entertaining than singing. I wouldn't mind the contestants telling jokes one week to get votes. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (iluvbbsofun) http://survivorsucks.com/sreply/4437644 Mon, 18 May 2009 19:31:15 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Ways to get back to the Idol we liked ]]> http://survivorsucks.com/reply/4437063/t/Ways-to-get-back-to-the-Idol-we-liked.html#reply-4437063

He didn't come back for this season.
This season lacked suspense and nasty elimination result shows.

Nigel was good at creating nastiness and treating the contestants in a nasty way on results night.

1) Put the gays back in the closet
2) Hold the semis in a small room with no audience and only a cabaret piano for accompanyment
3) Don't hire fashion or makeup people until the final six
4) Pair Ryan Seacrest up somebody else. Instead of Bryan Dunkleman, make it somebody even more annoying -- I'm thinking Howie Mandel

. Make a new rule that EVERYONE who makes it to the semis has to be heard singing on TV before the semis start, even if it's just for a few seconds. Bucky Covington was heard for only that long, but it was crucial in getting him to the finals.

Keep the sob stories and pimping the same as now except cut all those people before the semifinals.

- Use the semifinals format originated in Season Four. In four years, it produced three outstanding casts. This system produces junk.
- Fire ALL FOUR judges and replace them with THREE people who can give truly expert opinions on vocals. Yeah, Simon, too. He lies through his teeth.
