Ex-Factor

First judge comments that the performance was spectacular, beautiful, worthy, unique. Second judge was moved beyond anything ever experienced, was in awe of performance. Judge #3 got goose bumps, became choked up, proclaims it the best audition ever, sees stardom ahead. Last judge says it's the reason the show exists, annoints the performer as true talent and worthy of 5 million dollar prize. THEN they vote, and performer acts surprised when the judges vote yes to the performance. The suspense was unbearable. Repeat this scenario about 4 to 5 times per hour, interrupted by the comic relief segments, such as a judge having to run into the bathroom to vomit after witnessing "apparent" full frontal nudity of an exhibionist contestant. His act was, strangely enough, allowed to play out his entire routine. Next day, all the live (unscripted) activities will be reported as news and be the day's topic for the talk shows where they have nothing else to talk about. No wonder other countries hate us.
