(TV) The tenth season of American Idol has ceased offering any surprises to the mostly absent audience. Sure, measurements of a 6% or so decline in audience numbers still keeps American Idol in top position for viewers but with nothing new, except a change in order of finalists, can we really expect this show to still entertain as it has?
Sadly, the answer is no.
People watching have a comfort level with Randy Jackson remaining as a judge, but the lack of surprises from the remaining judges (Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez) will chase the viewers away. By the end of this season’s competition the only viewers will be the friends and family of the finalists.
