I watched the first part, and was sickened by the way he was acting, and changed the channel on the commercial. So, I don't know.

As far as I know, that Elimidate is from at least two or three years ago.
Regardless, it still showed him as a cocky, arrogant, reality tv hound.
Does anyone have any pics of him as Roger?
its awesome to see a fellow Roger on AI but im torn on whether i like him or Bo better
no!!!!! I guess good for him but i hope he gets eliminated soon.

I worked on Elimidate.
It is a highly produced show. I saw some really decent people presented as real jerks. Each season the show gets smarmier and smarmier.
You know each show is shot in one day. The cast is interviewed before and after every single scene. The producers push and reword until they get what they want.
The cast (crew isn't supposed to get any :) ) is given lots of liquor from the beginning of the second act onwards. If you are still shooting at 3:30 or 4:OO AM it has been mostly booze for the last 8 or more hours. Very little food and virtually no down time for the person who is the picker.
When the final choices are being made the producers go into high gear to get exactly what they want. Crew gets way grossed out watching this. ( I didn't intend a double meaning here but yes, that too.)
I am tellin ya, Mother Teresa would come off bad.
Funny thing is that I have heard guests say it was all their own choice even when I have seen with my own eyes and ears how they were manipulated. And then later edited. I suppose it is human nature to believe that one is actually in control.
I can't infer anything about Constantine Maroulis based on what was seen on Elimidate and of all people, theatre people should know that!
Did you all know we could never refer to the guests or participants as contestants. Game shows have rules to protect the contestants and public from fraud. No such rules in "reality"
I sound a little steamed, I know it, this thing just reminded me of the hurt some of the guests went through in the early seasons, especially the first where they had no idea how smarmy the show was going to be. Some of the guests really were innocents and the crew would be happy if they were voted off first so they would be taken home.
I think now people who are cast know what they are getting into. The show has a fan base, still does. A lot of people working retail throw it on when they come in from work at 10 or 11, teenagers too.
Reality TV is of course not reality and it definitely isn't theatre. Wait maybe there is a show in this.......
Semi rant over, thank you

Ok,ok....not so bad last night. I felt it was his best performance so far. What do you think? (Although I thought the other 'rocker' did a better job.)
I agree Adam Chris. For the first time last night i didn't fell the urge to change the channel. I like bo though. He is my man!
heres a few pictures of him
HA! It's so weird to see those pics!
Did anyone notice last night how tall he really was... especially standing next to Ryan seacrest? Ryan was tiny next to Constantine!
...and his head seems 1/2 size bigger than Ryan's too. I had to laugh.
I dont' really like Bo... I always change the channel when he performs. I guess he just doesn't keep my interest
RENThead, enLIGHist, Ozalot, Grobanite, Ringer, Pickwick LW, Wicked, Lost, American Dreams, West Wing
Lea S. Hugh J. Adam P. Idina M. Matt M. Taye D.
To BEKA his name is anthony fedorov
constantine does seem tall. Any nadia fans here?
Did you hear the screams for Constantine last night on the results show? I think he be in there for quite a long time. In fact, I think he'll outlast Bo Brice.

I just downloaded "Goodbye Love" with Constantine and I was quite disappointed. It was a little weak. I wasn't happy with whoever was singing Mimi either.
Boo.
I think Anwar is the best.

What's even more amazing, playboy, is the number of idiots who are willing to pay money for something like that.
I saw him (I think sometime last year) in Rent. I remember how disappointed I was after the performance. As soon as I saw Constantine on AI, I knew it was the same guy on stage. To be honest, he was horrible. He wasn't the worst on the stage that night...but he really sucked! I wouldn't see the tour he was a part of!!!!!
I saw Constantine in Rent in June. I wasn't impressed. When he performed on Tuesday, I enjoyed that performance. Everything before that performance was below par for me.
I love Anthony Federov, but his performance was blah on Tuesday. I don't really care for Bo, but then I don't really care for Rock voices...hence the reason I liked Constantine's performance on Tuesday.
I'm pulling for Nadia or Anthony to win...that may be wishful thinking on my part, but that's my two cents.
