Oh, shameless, I will take it INSIDE where we can watch the tape of season one, episode one! I won't argue with you that Trista was bad ... really bad ... but that first week Ms. Monaco was AWFUL! The only people ever to score lower were Master P and Tucker Carlson! Now, THAT's bad!
sesot, I get all of that as well, but don't the judges think that the scoring should carry a modicum of believability?!? Kristi didn't deserve 10s either, but at least she didn't make a mistake like Jason did. I mean, what are we teaching our children?!? Perfect no longer means without flaw or defect. "Oh, miss a couple of questions on your test; you'll still get a 100!"
"I am open, and I am willing,
For to be hopeless would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us,
So lift me up to the light of change."
