In case you haven't heard, this is the latest reality show to grip America. American Idol in Washington boasts the biggest prize of all - the power to rule the world, literally.
The preliminaries are over, we are down to the last pair of contestants. On one side, you have the Obama-Biden pair and on the other, the McCain-Palin pair. Both pairs are remarkably similar -marrying experience with star quality.
Obama and Palin compete neck and neck on style, glamour, looks and a compelling story to boot. Both tote their families like an honourable badge. In true American Idol tradition, the public has been feted with heartwarming images of their supportive families amidst a roaring home crowd.
Biden and McCain are the boring old horses. But somebody needs to be seen doing the work.
Simon Cowell's days are numbered. Instead of his scathing remarks, we now have members of the Associated Press to provide the independent analysis. But they are unlikely to sway opinions, anyway. The public will still vote with their hearts and starry-eyes. Idol is not looking for substance, it has always been about popular appeal.
Voting in in November. To reward the public for their long and undying support, voting is free! But no sms-please. You need to go to some registration booth. More details later.
One thing is for sure. In November, after the victory speech, the winners will join hands and sing a rousing "Times of our Lives" on national TV.
Don't forget to tune in for future episodes of American Idol in Washington. And good luck to the contestants!
