Oh my gosh! LOL! Becky, you are so funny! I love the relationship you have with Chris. It's so real (and reminds me so much of mine and Dan's). :)

I would love to be your idol watching companion.. See thats why we need to live close again so we can watch that and the Office again. We are loving this season!!Wish we were close so we could enjoy it together. Love ya!!! Tell Chris that I'm sure hes doing the best he can!!!

I would like to apply, I would be a good companion because currently I do not watch the show, so you could train me into whatever you want. Plus, I have a connection, the Chris kid and I went to the same high school, go Blue Springs South! (he's still on the show...right?)
I think you remember the good Gilmore Girl's companion I used to be, right?!

Don't let Becky fool you guys. She's just mad at me because I always vote for the dreadlock guy.

(i was about to say, I'll be your guy IF we vote for and pull for Dreads)

I would like to apply as well, but distance requires that I'll have to resort to texting you about Paula's hideous outfits instead.

Becky - where have you been all my life?!?! (Errr, or just during all of this season of American Idol!) I have been looking for a similiar companion with whom to watch/discuss said show! Granted, I do have Devin, (whom I am grateful to say watches alongside me) but he just doesn't appreciate the show on all the levels that I do. I would have to say that my best qualification as your potential Idol companion is that I also share your love/hate relationship with the show. For example - why is M.J. gone?! What a voice! Anyhow, I could go on and on about my feelings for each contestant; however, I will wait to share them until you choose me to watch with you. Nevermind that I don't even live in the same state as you...

You're all hired! We shall watch (unfortunately in our own houses) and discuss via the glorious Internet.

And remember. Every group needs a Simon. ;)
