Episode Report Card Joe R: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Bo Bice is the New Clay Aiken, Part II
By Joe R | Season 5 | Episode 2 | Aired on 01.23.2006
Stupidly, we have one more auditioner left. Manuel Viramontes (21, Los Banos CA) is doing shots of Tabasco sauce out in the lobby. Oh…kay? He goes on for ever and a day about this card he has of his patron saint, and his mom couldn't have babies and then she had Manuel so now he's asking his patron saint to help him advance on a reality show. Okay, one: Savol's Fake Jesus ain't got shit on St. Manuel. And two: Nobody told this kid that all the human interest tales were directed to Greensboro this season? Manuel stalls forever and kisses his damn saint picture, and I hate him a lot, so when he ends up singing like a Muppet with Parkinson's, I'm somewhat gratified. The only good thing here is the reaction shot of Simon's empty chair. I think I saw it roll its eyes. This kid is aggressively, in-your-face awful. Randy nearly has to physically restrain him from singing anymore. "No" and "no." Done.
Eighteen people make it to Hollywood from San Francisco. The Cars sing "Just What I Needed." Ryan wonders if Simon will "get over it" in time for Vegas next week. The preview footage makes short work of that suspense: uh, yeah, Simon's back. Dare we dream of finding the next Mikalah Gordon? If we do, Jacob will surely let you know.
Outcrest, seek. (Aw, dammit.)
