Episode schedule announced

by Reed Dunn

With just one week left until the sixth season kicks off, “Idol” anticipation is in full force. Producers have talked of a “mid-season surprise,” and everyone’s wondering what that could be.

Surprises are not all that necessary, though. They may be nice, but necessary? No.

Fans of the show love to tune in to hear what negative things Simon has to say and what positive things Paula has to say about each and every contestant. There’s always a judge to agree with, and there’s always a contestant to favor no matter what you like. That’s the beauty of “Idol.”

And it all kicks off at 8/7c Tuesday on FOX with the first round of auditions in Minneapolis, Minn. Here’s what producers have planned for the first several weeks of this year’s show:

- 8/7c Wednesday, Jan. 17: Seattle auditions.
- 8/7c Tuesday, Jan. 23: Memphis auditions.
- 9/8c Wednesday, Jan. 24: New York City auditions.
- 8/7c Tuesday, Jan. 30: Birmingham, Ala. auditions.
- 9/8c Wednesday, Jan. 31: San Antonio, Texas auditions.
- 8/7c Tuesday, Feb. 6: Los Angeles auditions.
- 9/8c Wednesday, Feb. 7: “Rest of the Best” auditions.

Then, the moment we all wait for:
- 8/7c Tuesday, Feb. 13: They’re going to Hollywood, baby.
- 9/8c Wednesday, Feb. 14: Hollywood round two (Top 24 announced).
- 8/7c Tuesday, Feb. 20: Top 12 male singers perform.
- 8/7c Wednesday, Feb. 21: Top 12 female singers perform.

Then …
- 8/7c Thursday, Feb. 22: First live results show (two male and two female contestants eliminated)

So, mark your calendars, set your TiVo or DVR and get ready to get behind your favorites.
