    It's good old fashioned Sat evening television for the family, although it was a bit uncomfortable having those drag queens around the little girls.

    Disappointed that Fionn, the little Irish kid didn't make it. They have him huge coverage in the auditions. Maybe they thought there was too many white contestants.

    Did you notice that they wear the same clothes every episode (for the first 4 anyway). They must have filmed all 4 in the same day.

    Wasn't crazy that some people were eliminated though - that Asian chap in the 4th episode was fantastic.
    Great show though. I wonder what format the next round will take?
