Seacrest...OUT!

I thought news was the ultimate in reality T-V.

I was wrong. A local news station in Virginia is taking it to a whole new level.

The FOX affiliate in Roanoke borrowed a page from the American Idol playbook to select their next employee. Basically, five well-qualified people are competing for one job, and the viewers get to decide who gets it.

Now, I know that TV is one of those businesses where connecting with people is key, but am I the only one who thinks this is going a little too far?

Voting ended tonight. We'll see who wins.
