I used to watch this show, and LOVED it when Apolo was on - wasn't that the same season that had Joey Lawrence and Mario Lopez?

Ever since, I've slowly started to lose interest - because half these people aren't even stars! Gilles Marini, Bristol Palin, Melissa Rycroft.

Hopefully there'll be something else to watch on NBC ...
