Is there anything worse than being a loser in America? I watched three reality shows last night. Everything was about winning and being competitive.
Ryan Seacrest announcing the American Idol finalists last night:
"And here are your twelve final American Idol contestants! All of them, winners!"
Kinnick, one of the four contestants just eliminated from the show last night:
"Even though I’ve been eliminated, I know I’m a winner — just to be able to make it this far."
Sandy Aguilar, eliminated from the show during "Hollywood Week," writing on her blog last night:
"Out of the thousands who tried out, I made it to the top 100. I’m clearly a winner."
Benji Stone, who never made it through the first day of auditions in Denver, speaking to KGGF, Denver, last night:
"I slept outside all night in line just to audition. My friends didn’t have guts to do it. I’m a winner for following my dream."
Neil Kramer, sitting in his underwear in Sophia’s living room, watching American Idol, and calling out to Sophia in the kitchen:
"This is terrible that they’re working on my kitchen sink in my apartment for another day and I have to stay here with you again. Can you make me another roast beef sandwich, please. And hurry up. Gideon is going to sing soon! (to self) Hee Hee. I’m such a winner!"
