Water Cooler Debates Continue -- Will it be Blake or Jordin?
Feel free to admit it - it's ok, really.
Offices across the nation are abuzz with talk about the American Idol finale and according to our research, there is a good chance that many of you have been or will be talking about it tomorrow. Whether it's as good as prior years or not isn't important - it actually seems that more water cooler discussions are taking place (probably even as I write this) - and they may be getting heated as well.
I saw an amusing blog post on Time.com that covered our survey about the American Idol phenomenon in the workplace and I thought you would be interested in taking a look at the results.
The most interesting part is that 12% of women and 9% of men actually admitted to getting into a debate about American Idol contestants. And I know there are more of you out there who probably wouldn't admit to doing so. I hear it every week in our hallways.
Have you been guilty of this? Will it happen at your office tomorrow?
I can almost certainly guarantee it will here. So much for a quiet and productive morning...

I have certainly been a part of this debate in the office, although I did watch more American Idol during the first seasons. As a matter of fact, I heard people discussing the finale today and how Blake thinks the song they picked for him wasn't his style and therefore Jordin was going to win.
On a side note, there are also many Lost debates going on at the moment.
