I had heard about the show in January when it aired, but it wasn't until the other day that it was brought to my attention again. I have long been an American Idol fan, but unfortunately this semester has been rather chaotic, what with graduation looming on the horizon. Over spring break, I was lucky enough to catch up on some of this season's Idol performances. I was absolutely heartbroken when my very favorite contestant, Alex Lambert, got kicked off way too early. At that moment, I swore that I was through with this season. And true to my word, I haven't watched a show since.
Just two days ago, I read online about how Alex Lambert would be joining the cast of "If I Can Dream", and I was ecstatic -- even sent out a tweet saying "Our God is good for SURE. @truealexlambert is BACK -- Looks like I'll need to start watching @ificandream". This little message was retweeted and replied to by a fellow fan, @ohalexlambert, who told me that I need to check out the show's website. Late last night, I did just that. And boy was I creeped out by what I saw. There are lots of cameras throughout the house streaming LIVE footage. Not only that, but at the bottom of the page, there is a little picture of each individual and if you hover your mouse over the person, it will tell you which room they are in, and you can go to that room and watch them... live... all day long. It is literally Big Brother style. I had to get off the site ASAP because I felt intrusive and inappropriate. I still intend to watch the show, which is shown once a week on Hulu; however, I will probably be avoiding the website from now on.
