Tonight, I experienced something so excruciating, I would not wish it on J.J. Redick, the Head Line Monitor of K-Ville, Josh McRoberts, Rich Garcia, Jeffrey Mayer, or Jaromir Jagr.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, I was subjected to a full hour of an Idol results show without the benefit of DVR to condense the results show to a mere ten minutes of content. I was subjected to interviews with also-ran Bucky Convington, a performance by Dolly Parton, the call-in content from Idol viewers, the horrible Kids Incorporated group number, and three-minute long commercial breaks what seemed like every five minutes.
Why did I not just tune in for the final ten minutes you ask? Well, you see, part of the fun is the suspense for seeing people's reactions when they get to the bottom three. Kristy Lee Cook making her own seattag for the bottom three. The shock on Brooke White's innocent virgin face when she was banished to the stools of disgrace. This is what Idol gives back to me on a weekly basis.
I fear not though. Comcast will be at my apartment between the hours of 2 and 5 on Saturday afternoon to repair the DVR. At no cost. Which means that they will show up at about 6:30 with a $120 bill.

I'm DVR-less, so this is how I live my life.
I'm glad Ramiele -- who seems to have some sort of self-asphyxiation problem (sorry if the spelling is wrong, but I'm not googling it to make sure it's correct) -- choked her way out of the competition, finally.
But I was really kind of hoping it would be Brooke instead. She's approaching Norriega levels of annoying.
Ben, believe me... the $7/month will change your life. Trust me on it. I never had it until two years ago. Problem is once you get it, it's hard to live without it. But imagine DVR'ing a Tigers game, starting the 7:30 game at 9:00pm, fast forwarding through all the commercials for pitching changes and inning breaks, and ending the game at 10:30 watching the whole thing sans commercials. It's awesome.
Spelled correctly.
Could you DVR lovers have pulled that fantastic Don Cheadle clip and shared it with the world? No.
I think you have to have digital cable to have the DVR, don't you? So you have to pay more than $7 a month, because first you have to pay for the digital cable.
Right Ben. Or Dish/Direct TV.
Jeremy,
I figured you just watch the first 50 minutes of Idol results and then turn it off...
