American Idol’s ratings are down and I am wondering if Fox is starting to feel it and cutting back on the changes that were made for the show this season. The show has just finished the audition phase and most of the Hollywood round and will start the brand new Vegas round on the show tomorrow. Tomorrow’s episode in Vegas where the contestants perform songs from The Beatles was slated to go two hours and then on Thursday the Top 20 would be revealed in another two hour episode.
Well today returning EP
Nigel Lythgoe Tweeted, “Because of all the Drama in the #AmericanIdol green mile show we have been asked to cut the Beatles Vegas Challenge to 1 hour instead of 2!! #AmericanIdol on Wednesday is a 1 hour Beatle Challenge and then 1 hour of choosing the top 20 up until JLo breaks down and can’t continue!” and then added, “I truly hope #SYTYCD in Atlanta goes smoothly today I have to get back to #AmericanIdol in LA at the latest tonight!!? We have a great team.”
I wonder what happened that they didn’t like what went on in Vegas and the Top 20 selection shows that the two-day, four-hour episodes were cut down to one-day in two hours. What will they air on Thursday? A Glee repeat? Seriously I really want to know why they are making such a drastic change so close to air. Maybe 36 hours seem like a day and a half away, but to me it sounds like their are some internal problems with the Idol changes. Just me reading into something that probably doesn’t need to be read into…
Things that make me thankful about his Tweets, is it good to know that I am not the only one feeling this season…
