Do you not have talent?

Yes, you are correct coach, it's another one of those lovely reality shows trying to get as big as American Idol.

My guess is that Bob tried out for it and was axed - I'll have to watch tonight's episode on DVR to see if I can pick him out. Is that what it was, Bob? If so, what were you wearing?

I wonder what "talent" he tried to show off.

No, I didn't try out. No need. Already know I don't have any talent.
Nope I'm gone after watching 'em cut some really good acts, and then put thru a overweight guy, in a blonde wig, basically hula dancing. I'm with Hasselhoff on this one. Think he was as disgusted by that as I am, only I don't get paid to sit there.
Maybe I should get me a hula skirt and give it a shot next year.

Reason being I don't watch reality shows in the first place. I don't think this show will automatically pick the people with the best talent out there, they will just pick the people that are funny and entertaining to watch. Of course some of those will be people with good/crazy talents, others will just be plain stupid people like the one you have described.

seriously, I watched that too. I just though it was funny that the cross dresser kept saying I'm being myself and the act is about imitating someone else...

I never watch reality shows, I find them too embarrassing.

I agree 100%, some people making fools of themselves for a few minutes of TV time.

Did seem like a crazy decision doesn't it? Keep the weirdo and let the three guys go (can't remember their names). Only reason I still watch it, is because I really could care less who wins - I just watch to enjoy the acts themselves. Reminds me of the old Ed Sullivan Show while growing up - not too many variety acts anymore.
