I had previously left a review, which was positive. I love Jennifer Hudson - she's an amazing singer - but I've always been on the fence about her talk show. Like a few other people, I noticed she has a thick southern accent. It's weird considering she grew up in Chicago, so I don't know how she developed this Alabama twang she has going on. I found it to be irritating. But over time I learned to ignore that and I started enjoying her show. I love that her guests are musicians in addition to actors and actresses, since I'm a music junkie as much as I am a film and TV show enthusiast. As for one downside: sometimes her guests are uninteresting and haven't done anything special to become famous (like Khloe Kardashian). I noticed some reviewers pointed out that the games she plays with the audience are idiotic. I didn't agree. I thought the games were fun and gives the audience a chance to participate, unlike on other talk shows, where they just sit there and watch the people on stage converse. Well, the episode I watched today changed everything I thought about her show. I felt so strongly that I deleted my original review. First off, she was interviewing David and Victoria Beckham's son, Brooklyn (I have no idea why he's famous, other than for who his parents are. To be honest, I don't even see a resemblance. It just exemplifies that a physically attractive man and woman don't always make the cutest kids). He did an advert for Silk milk, recreating the Got Milk ad his father did back in 2006. After the commercial break, him and another guest she interviewed, I'm assuming at the beginning, were playing a game with two audience members. They were wearing goggles and hats with cups on top. I don't know how the game worked, because other people were in the room, so I was dividing my attention between watching that and talking to them, but it seemed like each question Brooklyn Beckham and the other guest got wrong, Silk milk was poured into their cups. The one audience member's cup filled all the way to the top, causing the milk to spill down into her face. I hate to see food being wasted. With all of the children in the US who are living in poverty, and not getting enough nourishment as a result, it was deplorable to use perfectly fresh milk for a game. Celebrities live in a sheltered, out of touch bubble. I thought her show was unique, but now I see I was wrong. It's not even worth tuning in anymore. I know her games are supposed to be ridiculous, but that went too far. Either be consistent with the quality (one day it's like an episode of iCarly, the next day it's geared towards adults), or take it off the daytime lineup. I really do believe the crap that's on television is encouraging people to be ignorant and stupid. I don't even know why I bother with talk shows. They're so dumb, and they don't even represent how people have conversations in the general population. Please cancel and replace with a program of substance!
