Yes, it was cheesy to the extreme, and I feel kind of plebey for having watched it. ;) I also heartily agreed with Simon's suggestion - all three of them would have been okay to win, so why not vote off Ryan?

I felt really sorry for Clay afterwards, though, because I had been so, so sure he was going to win, because he had a larger fanbase, I thought. I hope that he does get to have his own career. Sadly, I'm quite cynical about the whole thing - because I've seen the popstars phenomenon go through its incarnations in several countries, and all the winners enjoy massive initial success, and then are completely forgotten about.
