nah pop, no style

Last night I watched MOST of America’s Got Talent. And while I’m a fan, I have to admit to you that it’s starting to wear on me already this season. Three episodes, three of the exact same narrative arc — four or five abysmal acts, an angry crowd, THE JUDGES ARE FRUSTRATED, then comes some great, inspirational act to save the day in (insert name of city here). We’re not THAT stupid, guys. I don’t know if it’s just the way the show is edited, or the way the contestants are arranged during the actual auditions, or a combination, but it’s really contrived.

There have been a few enjoyable acts, and a minimum of hilarity from the Hoff, but on the whole, I’m not that sold on it this year, and I might not keep investing my Tuesday nights in it. My time is precious, people.

Also the part where Hasselhoff hit his buzzer while that guy had a sword halfway down his esophagus last night was terrifying. Holy hell. Get it together, Hoff.
