Bah, Idol. I do not like this two day intro to the top 24. Like Didi and am glad she made it through. Likewise the kinda cowboy guy that Judge #4 and Posh made get nekkid. He's like a less hick version of Bucky Covington. I'm upset that they put Fantasia's back up dancer through. He's an OK singer, but he threw every vocal trick in the book into that last solo and overworked I'm Yours all to hell (which is saying something given that Mraz already overworked the hell out of that song). Also, he seems like a divo bitch. No one even clapped when he made it through. I'm tired of him already. Big Mike continues to be not nearly as good and his story not nearly as compelling as the show seems to think. The 16 year old kid is no D'Archie. And I don't even remember any of the other 7 who made it through tonight which does not bode well for them.
Tomorrow, I want to see the ex-cholo banger, the black girl country singer, the chick with dreads, and a couple of others make it through.
Ellen continues to rock on the judges panel. I was totally wrong about having her on. Judge #4 continues to be egregiously awful and live under the impression that everything that happens in the entire universe is about her. Ummm, no.
I finally watched last weeks Project Runway and the judges were Right On in everything, for once. Loved Anthony's dress and loved even more that every step of the way he was thinking about fixing the criticisms he'd gotten in the past.
It was a little 80s prom dress, but a reworked 80s prom dress, which, for me, makes it A-OK.

I wasn't crazy about the dress but it was great for a cover and so very perfect for Heidi!
Yeah, it really was created with thought to Heidi, which is way more than I can say for some of the other outfits. And it was totally a cover outfit. All the color and eyecatching detail was in the right place.
I cannot understand Mila's dress at all, especially wrt the fact that they discussed the cropping issues.
And anyway the win was worth it for that squeal! Hee.
Laura Bennet has written a book.
(Linked from Library thing - not sure if that means that it can be viewed by everyone or not.)
I swear I do not know how James ended up a hero, he is such an ass. I thought so in China, in Micronesia, and again tonight. I don't blame Cirie and Candace voting out Steph, I'd want to have some kind of peace around camp.
I did not see James' season. he is a trip and a half. You know he is gonna be voted out at the soonest opportunity...
or kept around because no one would vote for him as winner
He's super genial and whatever as long as everything is going his way. (And in his first season, that's really all you saw.) Then the ugliness and bullying comes out. I don't see him making it to the end because eventually no one wants to be the next one berated, but guys like that have a habit of sticking around because everyone's just too scared to lose them.
Nick Arrojo reality show on NBC!
PR: Once again I agree with the judges. . . this is, perhaps, why I am liking this season so much.
Really loved Seth Aaron's outfits. Also, it made sense to me that the two people who had ambitious failures were safe and the one with a "safe" failure was gone.

Yes and yes. My 8-year old niece would have been all over the outfit Seth made!!! And I would have LOVED Jay's when I was little. That was my fave color combo!
