The American Idol Top 24 doesn't completely suck

As always, there are several "winners" whose faces have never, ever appeared on my TV before, which is annoying, but I'm pleased overall, and no doubt Seacrest will bring me up to speed soon. I've decided I love Ryan Seacrest, by the way, because he has never assaulted my retinas (or my SOUL) with his nekkidness; in fact, I suspect Ryan of having plastic Ken doll bulges instead of actual fleshly ones, and I'm very comfortable with that.

Here's where things stand thus far:

LOVE

My adopted son Kevin. . .

Another wee one, David Radford. . .

The Pickler. . .

Yet another tiny tot, 16-year-old Will. . .

Taylor Hicks. . .

Chris "Don't Call Me Bo Bice" Daughtry. . .
