Just spit it out you moron!

We were watching America's got talent last. If ever a show was mis-titled, this is it.

Just look at the panel of judges, one appeared on tv 20 years ago and has been pretty much a joke ever since (except in Germany), the one in the middle married a musician and screeches a lot, and the one on the end is a disgraced newspaper editor who was forced to resign over the publication of fake photo's depicting soldiers abusing prisoners during the Iraq conflict.

But the thing that really pisses me off is the way they tell people whether they are through to the next round or not.

It's not just a simple yes or no. That would be too easy. The public need to be on the edge of their seat while the judges say things to try and make you think they're going to say the exact opposite of what they're actually going to say. Such as 'I'm sorry to tell you that you are about to hear something that will make you realise that might not be what some people are looking for and there is no other way of saying this but you are not going through...(dramatic pause)....the exit door tonight and are not in the next round....(another dramatic pause)...of cuts and in fact are not leaving the show just yet.'

What is the point in all that?

It must be torture for the contestants as they're left completely confused about whether they got through or not but it does not make for good television. It just makes the judges look like manipulative pricks.

You can pretty much judge them as soon as they walk on stage so a simple yes or no will suffice!
