Well the Marias are over. The girl who won was a big shock to everyone including me. I had my eye on two girls right from the start and it was down to the wire when the dark horse won. There have been a lot of rumblings about the whole thing being rigged. Then front page news when one of the judges who didn't show for the last two sing offs was charged with assault and forcible confinement. Well! What would Maria think of that!
I am the only one I know dopey enough to watch this stuff. The Dearly Beloved not only left the room when it was on he even on a number of times left the building. I can't help myself. I am a sucker for anything even palely Austrian even sentimental tripe like the Sound of Music or Sound of Mucus as Christopher Plummer called it. All those would be Marias galloping around in their upmarket dirndls yodeling their little hearts out had me entranced while the real Austrian in the family was elsewhere quietly throwing up.
So it's all over now. I won't be going to see the play as my favourite didn't win and I can be as sour a grape as anyone else. I wonder if the naughty judge's confinee was named Maria? :( :( :(

I wonder if it is a conspiracy, and if so, who is behind it? My money's on Lord Lloyd Webber. He looks shifty and his eyes are too close together. ¬_¬
