Tricia's TV Reviews

In 2005, I began writing snarky American Idol reviews for Mike's co-workers and a few friends. It was suggested that I collect these reviews and place them on our web site for posterity. I thought that was a pretty good idea, so I decided to start posting them online. So, because you asked for it, here they are...and then some. [Note that I will not be including recaps of any American Idol episodes that take place before the actual voting starts (i.e., auditions or "Hollywood week"), nor will I recap the results shows unless they're particularly cheesy. Voting results are placed at the end of each review. New reviews are posted by noon, EST, the day after the show airs.]
