Bob, this thread was just going on and on about how
obvious it was that AI is terrible seemingly suggesting that those who watch it are in the very least "missing the boat" or at worst "poor Christians". You can't deny that it's at least "snobby" in it's rhetoric.
So I sort of posted back in like manner with the "Holy" comment. What I'm saying/asking is a flat out question, "do you (or whom ever) believe that it's un-Christian to watch AI?" It certainly seems like it reading this thread.

100 years ago we used to run retiring steam engines into each other for amazing crashes, that was called entertainment. Some people even spoke about God when they saw it.

Even though that comment sort of annoys me, are you saying crashing trains into each other is also sinful in some way? This all reads to me like the secular "pop music snob" message forums out there that spend countless hours slamming AI because the music isn't "cool enough" except here we can throw sinful into the mix of the discussion as well.
What about the Christians who try out or (GASP) get on the show? What about the Christian girl who won the whole thing last year? Are her parents evil doers who contributed to her backsliding?
Not liking the show is fine, pointing out it's faults is acceptable, but the attitude that this show is "teh evilll" is hard to swallow when we can praise fine drink and tobacco (in moderation of course) or other TV shows and movies (mature or "R" rated) and heavy metal music and hair bands.
If all I did was make a few others here who may watch the show feel a little better, then that's good enough for me. You aren't a lesser Christian if you watch this show and if that isn't what everyone was implying in this thread you're going to need to trust me that it is exactly how it was all coming across.
