- Up until last night, I hated how the contestants were picked. Oh, sure, at first, it seemed cool that they just picked people out of the audience. But usually, they'd pick someone in the audience that was singing. For a while, they just picked whoever, whether they were singing or not (reminder: the lyrics are always playing on those scrolling marquee things, so nobody has any excuse not to sing, or at least mouth the words). Last night, they seemed to be more picky. I'm good with that.
- Last night was one hit wonders night. Fun, right? After three or four songs, I thought I was noticing a pattern... it was not only one hit wonder night, but it also seemed to be... masturbation celebration night...? Within a few minutes, contestants were forced to sing Devo's "Whip It," The Divinyls' "I Touch Myself," and The Vapors' "Turning Japanese." I was waiting for them to play "Dancing With Myself" and "The Stroke" next, but alas, they went back to normal songs.
- Another recent change - I noticed that they're gonna start having a returning champion, kinda like the game shows of old. I like that idea. I wonder if there's a limit as to how many times you can win... not that I'd go on there and win a ton. Really, unless it was 80's night or some special theme night, I'd probably suck as a contestant. I don't know any recent music, and I'd look awfully stupid up there if I was asked to sing some Jay-Z song. Or a Faith Hill song. Or songs from any of those super popular whiny emo-ish bands. But if they had, say, Def Leppard night? I'd SO kick ass.
- I still think the songs they do for The Final Countdown are too, too easy. It's like they just wanted to make sure to give away $50k last night.
Shoot, while I'm here... lemme just ask you about this...
OK, some people are total sticklers about how TP is put on the holder... flap up or flap down. Some people don't care. Some people (like me) have to have it flap up. Some people are just freaking nuts (or they have cats), and they put their TP flap down. In the grand scheme of things, it really makes no difference, but then again, humans aren't really "grand scheme" thinkers (otherwise, there wouldn't be a conservation "movement," we would just have always been wary of conserving the environment).
What I'm curious about, though, is... how many of you people are sticklers when it comes to hanging clothes? I totally am like that. My clothes must all face left in the closet. The hangers all must have the rounded end on the inside (with the hook pointing out). It kinda annoys me when some clothes are facing the wrong way, or if they're on the hangers backwards. Are any of you like this, too? Must your hanging clothes be facing the same way? Or am I just more of an obsessive freak than I think I am?
