What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Oh my God. This is the worst season of television in the history of television. See:
4th Worst: Married By America
3rd Worst: Celebrity Boxing
2nd Worst: Cavemen
1st Worst: American Idol, Season 7

I have a list. I must be right. I also have a hit list, and currently at the top are the people who greenlit "songs from the year you were born" week. It was terrible, as there was not one good performance all night. And most of the performances were sleep inducing. Even if you're a fantard and you just agree with the judges, that means you would think only David Cook and Michael Johns were good. So the judges found 8 of the top 10 to be less than good. But it's not even in a VFTW way. It's in a boring way.

I would compare these performances to the most boring things I could think of, but I think these performances themselves have eclipsed the most boring things I could think of. Thus, I would be comparing the performances to themselves. I was also made aware that my best friend's father-in-law did not like that I compared a performance many weeks ago to watching golf on TV. Thus, I will try a new approach. This week I will tell the contestants what they can do to secure the VFTW vote in the future once Kristy is taken out to pasture, shot, and turned into glue like her favorite barrel horse.

But you'd stop short of calling it the worst show ever?

True, I'll grant you that. I admit I snuck a look at the show this week.
