These 72 hours have been wild. 😭 I'm glad to be out of that mental health facility. I felt so trapped and helpless and I'm not sure if it helped or hurt my situation. I have been released though and a

I'm not watching Idol this year but I've just seen... they brought back last year's runner-up?? In a comeback competition which largely consisted of people who didn't make it past top 20?

WHAT?! :dead:

Yeah, after they did a cut from 12 to 9, they had 10 contestants from S18 compete for a “second chance” slot to make the finals since their season became iPhone Idol. The 10 consisted of 7 semi-finalists, a Top 8-11 eliminee that was the sole wildcard of last year (meaning she went 0-3 on getting America’s votes), the 7th placer… and the runner-up.

 

It’s a mess.

I feel like I wouldn’t mind the concept of it was all semi-finalists, even if they didn’t have the support before it makes the most sense for them to get a ‘second chance’. The unevenness of it all is just wild though :dead:

This was what the current cast looked like at the end of the show when they announced Arthur in the Top 7 with them:

Yeah even though I don't like the twist..... I don't mind semi-finalists getting a second chance to come back. And wish that was the case in past seasons. But for a runner-up to get a second chance (even if it was like a 3-week long competition)? SO INSANE. :dead:

This is amazing lmao.

 

I really don't care about the twist, because I think it was obvious the people who are "losing" "their" "spot" were never gonna win anyway. I don't think Arthur will either, granted I'm really not paying attention to this season, but I'm pretty confident Chayce or Grace are gonna win.

Semi-finals have been eligible to return in a subsequent season since S10 changed the cut-off period. :haha: We've had semi-finalists return in subsequent seasons (Chase from S11, Kay Kay Alexis from whatever season, some of the 4000 S12 semi/quarter-finalists), they just never made the Top 24 so the show didn't bother showing them. Alyssa Raghu was the first one to actually make the semi-finals in two separate seasons.

Not The Virus doing a two-hour clip show "highlighting" their ten years on the air last night and it almost exclusively being various montages of the coaches. :dead:

Well, that's all they have. :dead: It's not like they have any success stories. :rofl:

Cassadee Pope can be excluded from this narrative. Even if she was already famous before The Voice.

My favourite is any time I see someone I actually liked from the show in concert and someone else asks them about The Voice, they have zero delays in insulting it. :dead:
