My name is Gar, and I'm addicted to American Idol. I've caught every episode this season and have rearranged my schedule so that I can watch the two shows each week.

I'm beginning to understand what Randy is saying on the show. I find the banter between Simon and Paula cute and charming. I can tolerate Ryan Seacrest for two entire hours. And I get physically stressed when my favorite Idols are in danger of being voted off.
