I'm catching up on last night's show, and I just got done watching Stevie. I had a headache before, but damn. I may have accidentally recorded a bad high school talent show.
And apparently you all were drunk last night. Fill me in on the drinking game!
Skip to Casey... poor thing, but Paula's comment about phrasing: Does Paula actually listen to herself speak? She can't even phrase normal sentences correctly.

The original drinking game rules have gotten way too easy: a contestant holds up fingers to match their phone number; Paula says something incomprehensible or gets weepy; Simon says "cruise ship" or "cabaret."
ReplyDeleteBut feel free to make up your own -- like Ryan and Simon "flirt" by saying vaguely homophobic double entendres about each other. Or, a contestant says, "I had fun" somewhat defensively after an atrocious performance.
Frankly, in this group, any excuse to drink will do....
The possibilities with the drinking game are endless, Brandon! New rules will evolve throughout the season, many of them contestant-specific, so feel free to chime on in when something seems, shall we say, drink-worthy.
ReplyDeleteJust to get you started, I've lifted the original "rules" from the 2006 season (it was posted in my old blog).
And here's how it goes: While watching American Idol, take one drink any time any of the following occur:
* Paula Abdul acts drunk, loopy, out-of-it, goofy or claps her hands with her fingers all spread apart like a toddler
* Simon uses the words "karaoke," "cruise ship" or "cabaret"
* there is a spat between either Simon and Paula or Simon and Ryan
* the contestant follows the camera with their eyes
* the contestant holds up their fingers to indicate their call-in number
* Paula, for lack of anything credible to say about the contestant's performance, (or, apparently, when she doesn't really care for the performance but is incapable of offering negative feedback), compliments the contestant's appearance
* Randy says "dawg," "dude," "I wasn't feelin' it," "we got a hot one tonight," "yo," "a'ight" or "for you for me"
* Ryan has a different facial hair configuration from the week before
* a member of another show from Fox network is in the audience
* a contestant cries
* a contestant does the "Country Western Squat" while singing (double drink if they simultaneously do a sideways ass-slap)
I'd totally forgotten the Paula splayed-fingers toddler clap! Yes!!
