Call it the Idolization of Mimi, if you will.

photo: ABC"Duets," ABC's summer talent show with an allstar judging panel consisting of Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke, and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, started off with promise, but then everything went wrong with the show--so much so that by the time it wrapped up this Thursday, so few people were tuning in, the "Duets" finale was actually THE lowest-rated episode of its entire season.And the few fans that did turn in probably didn't find it to be a particularly dramatic finale, when the contestant that had been the leaderboard-topping frontrunner all season long, Team Jennifer's soulman J Rome, was crowned the champion. It was an easily predicted victory that made Javier Colon's triumph on"The Voice" look like a shocking upset.

photo: Fox"American Idol" isn't having its best year. First, the once-unstoppable Fox institution experienced a 23 percent dip in ratings during Season 11. Then its two superstar judges, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, quit last week, leaving the show in a state of flux. And now, for the first time ever, "Idol" has been snubbed in the Emmys' Outstanding Reality-Competition Program category.

This week's bottom sixThis week's "So You Think You Can Dance" show began with the top 20 dancers doing a Nappytabs routine to Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People," but by the end of the episode, six of these beautiful people were in jeopardy, having received the fewest votes from the week before--and four of them were eliminated by the judges, in the first results reveal of Season 9. It is, of course, never easy to see any contestant go home on a program featuring so many talented hopefuls, and this evening certainly was no different--especially when it came to the two male contestants who got the ax, both of whom had such potential.
