I get the feeling that they purposely put critical people on some of these shows purely for reaction.

Yep, I think so too. There's no quicker way to stir up conversation than giving people something strong to react about. Those shows probably wouldn't have a chance of succeeding in today's TV market without those critical folks.

Definately, I like the critical people. I am a critical person. I just tend to be a lil nicer than that.

I just googled America's Got Talent and found out his name. Beware Piers Morgan, harshest judge I've seen by far.

I've only watched a couple times, but agree Piers is very harsh! I guess you could say he's only doing his job, but I don't see why it has to be so hurtful sometimes.

Have you heard the latest regarding a former American Idol Contestant? The news reports say that this person may have committed suicide. She must have been a very troubled soul. I didn't see her on the program.

It looks like Simon Cowell has announced he will be leaving "American Idol" soon, and launcing a show of his own:

So, how do you think his leaving will affect "American Idol"? Will it still be a hit show without Simon, or not?
