How much does producer pimping bug you on 'American Idol'?

So American Idol's Top 24 kick off the semifinals tomorrow night, and at this point, we haven't heard a single note sung by Luke Menard, Jason Castro, Garrett Haley, or Jason Yeager. Conversely, producers haven't missed an opportunity to foist footage of Carly Smithson, David Archuleta, Kristy Lee Cook, and a few other favored contestants onto the viewing public. Jessica Shaw and I dish this disturbing trend on the latest episode of Idolatry; ch-ch-check it out for yourself, then weigh in: How much is the early screen time imbalance bugging you? (Oh, and if you'd like to be a call-in guest on our next show, shoot an e-mail to idolatry@ew.com and tell us which contestants you're loving or hating, and why; be sure to include a phone number where we can reach you during business hours this coming Friday morning/afternoon.)
