Next Best Thing: Episode 2
I am honestly surprised I am still watching this show. But for some reason I was drawn back to the inanity of searching for celebrity look-alikes and sound-alikes. Something seemed to happen to me though, after I watched one bad impression after another. I began to question the purpose of this show. And we all know rule number one of reality tv viewing is never try to find a deeper meaning.
My question about the show after watching two episodes is “What is the point?” Certainly there are some decent celebrity impersonators, and yes the really bad ones are funny. Even the judges are funny to an extent. But once these tryouts are over, I feel like the show is going to crash and burn. Honestly, how long are we going to be able to watch an impersonator during the vote offs? Week after week, the same people will be up there on stage, vying for our votes. At what point will that become tiresome? And what happens when someone wins? They get a $100,000 prize (small by reality standards) and then what? I just can’t figure out why this show exists.
All this to say this show has been downgraded and makes me wish I had watched “So You Think You Can Dance” instead.
