COME ON PRETTY BABY KISS ME DEADLY: Is it just me, or is the elimination episode format for Rock Star deeply, deeply flawed? You get a reprise of the most popular performance, a ton of repetitive rerun footage, and then performances by the three least-interesting performers left (I suppose it's similar to the SYTYCD format, so if you prefer dancetasticism to rockulatricality, feel free to translate accordingly). Wouldn't it make a better television show to cut down on the repetition and let the top two each perform a song of their choice in a sing-off for some kind of reward (say first choice of songs the following week, or an extra helping of eyeliner)? That would give the audience an extra incentive to vote and watch.

Also, I don't disagree that the eliminated contestant had no chance and should have gone in the next couple of weeks, but it seems to me that there was one far more deserving candidate. My opinion, and hopefully yours, in the comments.
