No one proved more that reality competitive television can take its toll on your sanity more than Susan Boyle. The Britian’s Got Talent star spent more days in the hospital recovering from fame than she did on the Britain’s Got Talent tour!
With this new understanding that fame isn’t for everyone, the producers over at X Factor have decided to give qualifying contestants psychological tests this year, to ensure they can handle the stress.
Additionally, there will be counselors on set, ready to help contestants.
It’s a good idea, but we’re mildly disappointed that there won’t be any crazies coming out of the show now that there is professional help on staff to keep them sane.
Drat!
We’ll just have to save hope that American Idol comes through with an batty judge to fill the void!
