I have never enjoyed this show, but my wife and kids seem to LOVE it. They also enjoy Justin Beiber, so there you go...
I had created a way for me to cope with this show being on in my living room two nights a week. (Yes, I could leave the room, but I do not wish to have anymore "Conversations" about "spending time with your family", knowwhatImean?
Since I started MFP, however, I haven't spent many calories on adult beverages. I'm looking for ideas to help me through these troubling times.. Confusing? The gist of how I passed the time follows.

Every time Randy Jackson speaks like an idiot= take a drink. :drinker:
"Pitchy" = Two drinks :drinker: :drinker:
"Dawg" = Finish your drink :drinker:
"Yo!" in any context=two drinks :drinker:
Every time JLo "Loves" somebody/something=drink :drinker:
Sucking up to Steven Tyler= drink :drinker:
There are numerous variations and triggers, but...
Well, you get the picture...

So, I'm really looking for some suggestions. please help! I really don't want the extra calories and I don't think my liver can take much more...
Thank you!!
Ted

    Maybe make it an exercise game? Dawg = 10 Jumping jacks. "Pitchy" = 10 Crunches, 10 lunges, 10 push ups. You get the idea ;3

    Okay I like American Idol but certainly don't agree with the judges at all. But I know what you mean about watching tv that just rubs you the wrong way. My husband likes to watch them car auctions on speed that go on for hours and then days. Good luck to you. :yawn:

    Drink water instead of the al-ky-hol. Saves your liver and helps you lose weight. Either way, they both make you pee a lot!!!

    I actually like American Idol this year. They have more contestants that can really sing than they did last year.

    ....However....

    I agree with you about JLO. She loves everyone and everything. It angers me whenever she talks. I usually turn the channel. Steven always sounds akward. Like he doesn't know what to do or say. Randy is the only one who tells the truth.
    Just do what the other reply says. Instead of drinks, do crunches. You will be ripped by the end of the season.:laugh:

    LOL!!! Just think of all the pee breaks you would need. You could miss several comments by the judges. Great idea!!

    Stopped watching years ago. When they came to Orlando, I know of at least 10 super talented people from my home town that tried out and didn't even get passed the first audition. Then when the show aired that season, they kept putting bad singers on air on purpose just for fun. Total waste of time, they lost me as a viewer when they did that crap!!!

    Well, I managed to get through it sober tonight, but not really sure I can do this tomorrow. I wonder if Walgreen's sells heroin?

    I like this idea!

    But I have to say I never cared about this show. I don't even have t.v. One of the top 11, Stefano, went to my daughter's high school. So I checked it out on the internet, and I absolutely fell in love with James. I agree there are some bad voting policies, and I also know of people who didn't even get to audition. But I still love it this year (the only year I have watched it) James rocks. You will hear James Durbin in the future. Of this I'm fairly certain.
