Part of the reason I made the audition the way I did is because I feel like Diamond tries really hard to be hipster, and to show that she occasionally has slip-ups like she ones did in TD:PI. Her background being black and white was done on purpose to show that her efforts to be extremely abstract are not always successful. As for Diamond mentioning ratings, I doubt she really cares about them. However, I think she's at least willing to promise the possibility of high ratings to improve her chances of making the show. Thanks for the compliments, you two. :)
