Kill Your Idols: Can You Tell We Don't Care About This Season?

Jon Caramanica and I, once again, will not be chatting this week. Mostly because we couldn't, but I suspect part of the lack of inspiration comes from the fact that neither one of us is very excited about what's left of what is likely the worst, most insipid season of the reality singing competition yet. Ratings are down a bit again this year, as has been consistently noted, and despite Ryan Seacrest's insistence that this season featured "the most talented top 24 ever," the three remaining competitors--David Cook, Syesha Mercado, and prohibitive favorite David Archuleta--are no more dazzling (likely far less) than previous top threes. There's no powerhouse like Carrie Underwood here, nor is there any Taylor Hicks-Katherine McPhee drama. Many believe Idol will go on forever, juggernauting its way through the Nielsen ratings for the next decade. But cause for alarm is higher than ever.

Also, I'm really worried about David Archuleta's father murdering him onstage during the finale if David Cook snatches the crown.
