Gabriel’s formula for success the past 19 seasons in Branson has been applied to the talent show he created, Branson Idol. The weekly show has become Branson’s favorite late-night place to be on Friday’s at 11 p.m.<\/st1:time> Every week, beginning last April, Doug has brought five singers – from auditions held last winter – to the stage to be critiqued by Branson celebrities. The winner is then selected by the audience from the judges’ top two. The last preliminary will be held Sept. 17 at 11 p.m.<\/st1:time> Also at 11 p.m.<\/st1:time> on Fridays, semi-finals begin the following week. A special wild card show will be presented on Oct. 20 at 8 p.m.<\/st1:time> The finals with guest judge Roy Clark is on Oct. 22 at 11 p.m.<\/st1:time><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
