I find the auditions are fine to have on in the background while I'm working :) I saw the gal you mentioned, the twin. Like you, I found it particularly sad.

I had two friends who are both excellent professional singers in my town audition and neither even made it to the second round. Yet people in funny costumes got moved right through. Must be a spiritual analogy in their somewhere. LOL.

I remember when reality TV first started. Survivor, I think... I had my doubts, but my mom watched TV constantly and I eventually got hooked for the reasons you mentioned.
