Really though, if you were disappointed by X Factor, you'll be back in the gentle, familiar hands of Idol tonight for the 11th season premiere. As nice as it kind of was spending time with Simon again (and Paula, I guess), I'm actually excited for this show to be back because it has nothing to do with Nicole Scherzinger. Also, we're back into the audition rounds, and that's always good for a few laughs. Can you tell how far I've lowered my standards?

The two-hour Season 11 premiere of American Idol begins tonight at 8 PM on Fox.
