The media does love to build people up and then smash them down again.
This particular competition and its format provides a convenient format for them to do so very quickly and easily.
Its almost gladiatorial in character .
The Flatley "boys" of course never seemed in danger of succumbing to anything - just out for a laugh and their 15 minutes of fame.
For poor Susan Boyle it was obviously a much bigger deal.
I only saw her first performance - reading the clips from the tabloids after that made me unwilling to get involved more deeply in the artificially induced drama.
