American Idol had an audience of 38 million a generation ago for its season 2 finale. On Sunday night, it got under 6 million for the last show of the 2023 season. Why is it still on? And why do TV sports broadcasts continue to glorify people we know are jerks? (We name names.) Also Rhea gives us tips for British TV and teens, and Angelo has some great news about two shows that you will love (he hopes.) . Also, don't forget to watch the final episode of Succession on Sunday night. Jay Black will be back next week to obsess over it.

PLUS, the gang discusses all the drama going on with Love is Blind -- not only did Netflix's second attempt at a livestream fail utterly, but there is word from behind the scenes that the cast is being sleep deprived and being coerced into making dumb decisions (the dumbest of which is simply being on the show!)
All that, PLUS, Rhea Hughes returns to British corner with a discussion of Mum, Jay reviews the new James Marsden show Jury Duty, and Angelo makes a startling revelation!
