Members quartermainefan Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 why? Seems like the interviewee is sort of saying it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 But isn't it all the same thing, with the sex scene being the last straw? The scene represents the story and the story represents everything the conservatives and homophobes did not want on their screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 Listen, as much as this whole situation sucks, I'm just glad Kish GOT a love scene/montage, and not some WTF? "Boy, you sure were in the shower a long time, teehee!" throwaway line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 3, 2010 Members Share Posted April 3, 2010 You can say it. You can yell it out! Luke and Noah's lame ass attempt at sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 You mean like their recent cover story about what|s wrong with AI and dissing the producers for cutting the people they thought actually had talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 I meant the cover story where they proceeded to write negative backstage stories about every one of the last 6 or 7 finalists in season 6 minus Jordin Sparks, who was apparently so seen as the show's ideal winner that even Ryan Seacrest went out months before the finale and said he wanted her to win. And a lot of their Idolatry and website coverage often seems the same to me, when I read that I don't usually see a big difference from what I might hear on the show. I guess I just see EW as making the appearance of being against the grain but usually it all seems boilerplate to me. That interview with Brett was the same way. Repeated implications that gay sex got them fired or was too much for viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 Really? The Idolatory videocasts are often pretty ruthless about the show I find--I prefer them to watching the show most weeks. I will agree that EW is corporate of course though--though I think raising the gay sex thing was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't think they are that far off from the show itself. Tim sucks, Paige sucks, Crystal is a goddess, and so on. Sometimes they're amusing but other times they're too busy smirking at themselves to bother. I watched one from last week with some guy doing some attempt at sassy quips while wearing a shirt many sizes too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 5, 2010 Members Share Posted April 5, 2010 I believe more viewers tended to love watching the Kish sex sequence rather than didn't. For me, as cheesy as I thought it was, it was also a nice respite from "The Many Loves of Todd Manning." OLTL's ratings are in the toilet, though, so the network (and FV) thinks this couple is to blame - when, in fact, Rex, Gigi, John, Todd, and everyone else TPTB (going on audience research) thinks are viewer favorites, are.
