Every time I feel like network television has run out of ideas for new game shows, they prove me wrong. From singing and talent competitions, to Lego building challenges and cooking shows, television has graced us with any kind of reality television we could hope to watch.

A new show has just hit the air, and Phoenix sits at the heart of it.

Jordin Sparks Returns

In 2007, Jordin Sparks captured the hearts and eyes of America. She took the stage for the sixth season of American Idol in 2007, and to her surprise, won the whole thing. Sparks was the youngest winner of the show at the time, and her career instantly skyrocketed.

Sparks is a Phoenix native. In her youth, she won "Best Young Artist" in Arizona three years in a row. Her early days were spent hanging around Phoenix and Glendale doing just two things, singing and roller blading.
