  AMERICAN IDOL 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  American Idol is a reality singing competition created by Simon Fuller, based on the British show Pop Idol. The show aims to discover unsigned singing talent, with the winner decided by American viewers. Contestants go through a series of auditions, including initial auditions with producers, and auditions before the judges. The selected contestants then perform in Hollywood, facing eliminations until the semi-finals, when public voting determines the outcome. The show features themes for each week's performances, often with celebrity mentors. From the semi-finals onward, the fate of the contestants is decided by public vote via phone, text, and online. The show was broadcast on Fox from 2002-2016, then moved to ABC in 2018. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  American Idol was based on the British show Pop Idol, which was in turn inspired by the New Zealand television singing competition Popstars. Television producer Nigel Lythgoe saw a version in Australia and helped bring it over to Britain.  
    
  In 2001, Simon Fuller, Simon Cowell, and TV producer Simon Jones attempted to sell the Pop Idol format to the United States, but the idea was initially met with poor responses from all the television networks. However, Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox's parent company, was later persuaded to buy the series by his daughter, Elisabeth, who had seen the British show.  
    
  One change was made to the American version because of the multiple time zones in the United States. An additional half-hour results show was added the day following the performance show because it was impractical for the country to vote in the same time period.

  This rediscovered classic memoir tells the incredible tale of a woman defying society's expectations to find freedom and peace in the adventure of a lifetime. 
   
   
   
  In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable life in Austria and travels to the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen, to spend a year there with her husband. She thinks it will be a relaxing trip, a chance to "read thick books in the remote quiet and, not least, sleep to my heart's content," but when Christiane arrives she is shocked to realize that they are to live in a tiny ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, battling the elements every day, just to survive. 
   
   
   
  At first, Christiane is horrified by the freezing cold, the bleak landscape the lack of equipment and supplies . . . But as time passes, after encounters with bears and seals, long treks over the ice and months on end of perpetual night, she finds herself falling in love with the Arctic's harsh, otherworldly beauty, gaining a great sense of inner peace and a new appreciation for the sanctity of life.
