What kind of reality TV are we even watching these days besides The Traitors and Love Island? I grew up in the “Pants on the Ground” era of American Idol, and nothing has quite filled that void. The auditions, the landline voting. We really had it all.

If you were glued to your TV every week, you'll definitely recognize David Archuleta. The Season 7 runner-up is coming to Sony Hall in December for The Warm Me Up Holiday Tour, and we're giving away free tickets. Enter to win!
