. . . make up prices as they go.

I don't think a pithy answer makes much sense here, toetyper. The more it sucks, the less one will watch, up to and including not watching at all, but how does anyone know just where the line is? All we can do is go way past the line with our answers (five million edits per show, every other contestant is a mouth-breather, etc.).

That would be a massive improvement. Yup, the original question is a silly one, and not really worth contemplating.

Air it. I, for one, am the minority around here in that I dislike TPiR and make absolutely no attempt to watch it. Ever. I live in SoCal and have never even attended a taping.

In the other thread, there was a link to an article about the new producers wanting to make it more like Fremantle's biggest hit, American Idol, and I wondered how they'd do that. You've just answered my question.
