Judging by last night's return engagement, I'd say things look promising. There's Daly himself, of course: "You know, Jeff, you reminded me that Idol makes for a good drinking game. Or at least a good reason to drink. And sniff glue. And cry. Now where did I put that Crown Royal?" And Jeff, who apparently posts from Gitmo, which may be the reason he's so entertainingly harsh: "You know as soon as the rest of the crowd saw the blind guy, they all thought, 'A cane! Why didn't I think of that?'" Then there's Marissa, who apparently posts from the frigid Midwest, which may be the reason she's so entertainingly horny ("Rissy likey").
But the most promising development is the arrival of newbie JillyBean, who's already slinging zingers, including a cogent rationale for the existence of the AI blog itself: "i'm excited for doing something that makes watching this show seem logical."
Exactly. And like we said, you don't even have to watch the show. It's on right now, as a matter of fact, and I'm not watching it — I'm still in the office. But I expect to check in on the Popsters' report later on so I can find out who was good — and who was really, hilariously bad.
In last year's Best of the Bay issue, we gave an award to Sean Daly's Pop Life blog for being the Best Way to Enjoy American Idol Without Actually Watching It. Well, AI is back, and so's Pop Life. Can Sean and pals possibly live up to their previous high-snark standards?
