I do. Usually I don't watch reality shows or talent searches. I sat through a few seasons of American Idol but they played too much into embarrassing poor candidates in the audition stage. Having never watched the first season (and generally not watching non sports prime time television in general) the show's gimmicks seem intriguing to this newbie. I want to see quality and not cringe worthy performances. They only showed one completely rejected performance, as it seemed that the producers passed him along based on effort and motivation rather than talent (Daniel Rosa midway). The teams being 12 instead of eight like last season (I read the Wikipedia article to catch up during commercial) seem to be excessive. I don't see the audience connecting with 48 people, as 32 is already a lot with each contestant singing for 60 to 90 seconds at best. I also don't know how much of the "mentoring" they will show or how cliched it will be. The first episode was mostly filler free and only had one cliffhanger. Idol had too much filler and too many fake cliffhangers. I'll give this show a chance but once I fall off the wagon I doubt I'll come back. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
