Grease: You're The One That I Want

Why haven't these bums had me on yet? They must be saving me for the finale!

We watched the first episode (auditions) and it was OK. Standard, AI-like stuff. Then the playoffs interfered, we missed a few episodes, and aside from seeing a 2 minute recap of the performances at the end of the show a couple of weeks ago (which were, even by reality TV standards, frighteningly bad for a production of this magnitude), we haven't been interested in watching again.

I thought you died in a plane crash.

I thought you died in a plane crash.

No, I think I heard he died in a car crash.

No, I think I heard he died in a car crash.

I thought he was abducted by space aliens and tossed into a volcano, or something like that.

I'll let this go because I know it's the Thetans talking.

My wife watches this show so I've seen a bit of it by being on the laptop in the room at the time. It seemed like typical reality show performance stuff, so I didn't care one way or the other.

Then... a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I went and saw Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. Now I'm totally disgusted by this show and find it an insult to the people who have real Broadway talent. These jokers do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Broadway performers. It strikes me as high school production all the way.

I saw Mamma Mia in Vegas recently. It was fantastic!

It seems it doesn't matter who America votes for, its whoever the judges want:

Apparently it doesn't matter who voters want in NBC's reality competition series "Grease: You're the One That I Want," which has hopefuls competing to become the next Sandy and Danny in Broadway's "Grease." On Sunday night's episode, the bottom vote-getters were spared by series judges David Ian, Jim Jacobs and Kathleen Marshall after a sing-off while the second-to- lowest vote-getters were sent packing.
It was the first of six live elimination episodes in which, according to the NBC press material, "America will decide which Danny and Sandy hopefuls will be eliminated each week."
An NBC spokesperson called the sing-off "a surprise twist for the audience" while reiterating that in the season finale, "America's viewers - and only America's viewers - will decide which Sandy and which Danny will star in the new Broadway production."

It's probably their answer to the "Vote for the Worst" phenomenon.

I saw Mamma Mia in Vegas a while ago. For an alien, you have good taste. It was fantastic.

It's probably their answer to the "Vote for the Worst" phenomenon.

From what I heard of their performances a couple of weeks back, they have their hands full of candidates.
