It's back! But is it good?

Canadian Idol came back tonight. Now I’ve never been a fan, but since we are flooded in tonight after pretty much the most incredible storm I’ve ever seen, I might as well watch it.

My observations

-Damn Ben Mulroney is still alive. Stupid broken Voodoo doll.
-I loved that they featured American Idol’s Cat McPhee longer than any of Canadian Idols combined. Nice CTV.
-Did that guy just spit during his audition? HILARIOUS!
-American Idol had “The other door”, we have “to the left”.
-I actually really hate Ben. So much. Maybe not him personally, maybe it’s just his writers.
I do like the new roving reporter Dave Kerr. In 2 minutes he was funnier than Ben in the last 5 seasons combined.
-I think my favorite part of Canadian Idol is the French Canadian contestants. “Hhhaint no mountain Iiigh Enough” Gold.
-They only did 15 minutes in Toronto? That doesn’t bode well for this season.
-They listed JD Bigsby (the 16 year old blond country singer) as being from Drumheller, Alberta but said he is from Red Deer. They are about 3 hours apart. I blame Ben.
-Awwww Canadian Idol’s first marriage proposal! Suckers.
-I felt bad for Brendan Paul, why would he pick the Gambler? All had to do is memorize one song! Just one freaking song!
-I’m going to have nightmares about those crazy Winnipeg Rockers.
-Why are they only doing 15 minutes in each city? Did no one show up because they were scared of Ben?
-I think Naomi Joy might be the one to beat. Her, or that hip-hop dancer.
-Holy Liftens the Maritimes kicked ass!!! I’m so pumped!

Next week is Montreal, Vancouver, Saskatoon and London, Ontario!

Does anyone know why they are whipping through the auditions this year?
