26. S. Frank Stringham
S. Frank's talent is making balloons. No, literally, his talent is blowing up balloons. And making an ass out of himself. So I guess he has two talents. The only thing that is funny about this is that he makes a balloon replica of Reege. I have a feeling Kelly Ripa is going to find a little surprise in her dressing room on Monday.
27. Rapping Granny
It doesn't matter that I hated the Rapping Granny. America loves her! Sure, her raps aren't her own, her hook isn't her own, and all she's doing is screaming, she's old and old people are cute! Umm, no they're not. They're old and mean and they smell bad. Yeah, I think my grandmother is THE cutest lady in the world, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to prance her off on stage in front of the whole world. But it doesn't matter because the judges can't get enough.
The Hoff Loves her!
Brandy Loves her!
And this is where Piers tells her that SHE is what THIS competition is ALL ABOUT!
And I shed two tears. One for my immortal soul, which has just been crushed, and another for America.

The Svan watched the show due to a family request. You did not mention the most irritating portion of the entire broadcast. The judges repeatedly hit each other’s buttons so the whole thing was beyond ridiculous. God, if only I had those two hours back.

Worst show EVER! They should just rename it "The Price Of Making A Deal Searching For A Gong Star Show" because there is NOTHING original about this show at all.
STOP STEALING FROM OTHER TV SHOWS!!! Whats up with the way they call them down? I'll bet $201 on the showcase, Reg!
And apparently the audience is asked to dress up in wierd costumes ala Let's Make A Deal.
The Hoff is the only good thing about this show. I compeletly lost respect for Brandy after she was defending her lack of a current hit record to that one guy. And Simon, if the British guy on your show isnt you. No one cares.

The singers are mediocre and the jugglers drop stuff. Even the novelty acts suck. RappingGranny=yawnsville.
I THOUGHT Hoff, recovering from his Idol sobfest, would be my saving grace, but for me his whole awkward, stupid-funny thing wore off and after 20 minutes he was giving me a stomach ache... seriously I can't deal. He's like the person in the room you try your hardest not to talk to.
Props to my girl Brandy though. She'll always be my Cinderella.
Oh, and I actually think Syd the kid was the one pretty OK act. Sort of like a young raven with an edge? Maybe not...

I must admit I really liked the finger snap guy. He was by far the best one.

I hate novelty acts. A lot. Especially the ones who take themselves way too seriously (I'm talking to YOU, bird-lady!).

Not so bad really. I like variety acts, it beats the constant singing shows.
The RappinGranny was awful though, worst of the night.
It was fairly entertaining and gave me a few laughs.

Strangely enough, I didn't mind "Rappin' Granny", although by the end of the show I was sick and tired of them teasing her as we went out and returned from commercial break, which kinda ruined it for me.

I really tried to watch this show, but I quit after about 20 minutes. It got old really quickly, and was just painful to watch.

The thing with the juggler who dropped everything was clearly staged. He dropped the stuff on purpose, his argument with Piers and Piers's offer to let him juggle the knives was scripted, and he could really juggle all along. They just put it in there to liven things up a bit.
I liked that little girl who sang "I Have Nothing", mostly because I like to sing that song in the shower. Syd the Kid didn't have the greatest material, but I guess it's ok because she's 8.
The Hoff is by far the best part of the show though. He's like your weird uncle who awkwardly uses slang, like, "I thought you were off the hook!"

I just want to state for the record that it was Mr. C who wanted to watch this, but being that it is summer, no BB7 yet and nothing on, I plopped down and checked it out too.
Urgh, it was as cheesy as I thought it'd be.
And The Swan is right, the pushing of other's buttons was completely irritating.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't impressed by Rappin' G-ma. Loooved The DH's (or The Hoff's) dancin'. That was the best part. Ok, that and the Regis balloon.

I've never seen this show, and I am so glad. So...so glad.
However, I must say, Brandi looks *just* like Star freaking Jones in that recap pic.
.... so glad.
