How do you stretch five minutes of content to fit thirty minutes of airtime? Commercials! Commercials! Commercials! Product placement! Product placement! Product placement! These kids haven't even made it yet, and they're already making them hawk cars and soft drinks to us. Tah-mee-ka gets the chance to toss off some more attitude, but it's a lot less entertaining when it's directed toward the other contestants. Oh, yeah. The winners. Tamyra wins the most votes, to the surprise of nobody. Ryan's husky voice snatches the second spot. An army of ham-loving teeny-boppers keep huggably cute Jim in the game with their massive redial-button-pressing campaign. And this is why nobody ever listens to kids.
