Watched this season for the first time last night–and the first time ever in glorious high definition. A couple thoughts:
* In HD, Seacrest really does look gay. Nothing wrong with that, but now I finally get all the jokes. And if I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a hundred times: He’s an amazing talent. He presides over that show with total authority, managing movement, time, contestants, and stars so deftly that you barely notice the heavy lifting he’s doing. I suspect that 50 years from now, he’ll be looked on as a national TV treasure, like Dick Clark.
* I don’t know about you, but I was really surprised to see Rogue competing–and without the long gloves or anything. It’s really brave. Maybe she’s trying to absorb Seacrest’s powers? Or maybe she really did take The Cure . . .
