These last few years I keep finding myself less interested in American Idol. Not sure if it has just “run its course” for me, or maybe it’s become way too predictable.
Now I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy American Idol because I do. I’m just saying that I don’t get excited about Tuesday nights like I used too.
So as I sat watching the crazy guy from Atlanta singing about “Pants On The Ground” (which is hilarious) I decided I needed a way to spice up my watching experiance.
Now, as I mentioned before, the show has become somewhat predictable. We almost always know there’s going to be a “few” goofy characters during the auditions, there will always be very talented, young people pouring their hearts out to the world and there will always be the constant bickering between the judges.
The predictable responses and bickering from the judges is what leads me to a way to enhance the AI viewing experiance… Drinking! Now I’m not going to suggest drinking alcohol since it is a Tuesday and let’s face it… drinking on a Tuesday makes for a long week.
The “Official American Idol Drinking Game” rules: (Can be used when playing alone or with a group of players)
Drink everytime Randy says “Dawg” “Dude” or “Man…drink twice if he says it to a woman.
Drink whenever Simon uses the title of the song as part of his insult.
Drink everytime Simon says “this is a SINGING competition”
Drink everytime Kara is hot and bothered by a hot male contestant. Drink twice if he sings directly to her.
Drink everytime someone tells Simon “Well, that’s just YOUR opinion!”
Drink everytime a contestant says “I’m the next American Idol.”
Rules For Group Play Only:
Rule 1: Anytime Randy says “dog” you have to put your thumb on your head. The last person to do so has to take a drink.
Rule 2: Everytime Simon says “Horrible” or any variation of the word (i.e. horrific, horrendous, etc) it is a social and everyone has to drink.
Rule 3: Everytime someone takes a sip out of a cup, the first person to yell “cup” gets to make whoever they want drink.
Rule 4: When you see a person featured (someone that is about to go before the judges), you pause the show. At this point (starting with one player and working around the room), you choose whether or not the person will make it to Hollywood.
If you are correct, you are safe and don’t have to drink. If you are wrong, you have to drink with the other losers who also guessed wrong!
Rule 5: When a person is featured and after you decide whether or not they make it to Hollywood, you get to pick an artist you think they will sing. If they sing that artist, then everyone else in the room has to finish their beer (no matter how much is left) and you get to gloat in all your fantastic glory.
If you have any rules you’d like to suggest adding to the game, then please comment below.
Happy viewing!!
