oh, it is like my addiction. I usually like Gillian, but this season I am all about Bob.

Don't you think the 2 sisters could have convinced black team girl to vote off Kristin (sp?) ? pulling a big switcheroo - instead of just accepting the scenario that Ron dictated? Ron kinda works my last nerve.

Oh, man. I think, unless Adam really, really fucks up, he is the clear winner of AI this year. The dude just owns that fricking stage. And he's got the vocals to go 500 miles.

Although, his hair still bugs me.

My favorites are Lil, Danny, Adam, Allison and Alexis. It's hard to figure out who is going to be in the bottom and I wonder what kind of "change" is going to happen. Guess I better watch the whole thing instead of just tuning into the end of the results show like I normally do.

This is me. Except for the Danny part.

I wonder if the big change is going to be the judges granting some sort of immunity for the next round.

I don't get the Adam love at all. he makes me want to reach for the mute button like no other since Sanjaya. nails on a chalkboard, that one. shame too because he is quite pretty.

overall, this season isn't doing much for me. i only see myself voting for Danny and he didn't even inspire me to do that last night.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

tiggy, I'm right there with you. One song is my max with this guy.

You know who he reminds me of? That "Joke" band from the UK about 5 years ago who had retro videos, rock sensibility, but no one knew if they were serious or not. He is 1/2 that and 1/2 scissor sisters.

Because books.

That "Joke" band from the UK about 5 years ago

Do you mean The Darkness?

I like Danny a lot, and Lil. Adam leaves me pretty cold, but I don't actively dislike him. I thought Matt did really well with the piano, too.

Michael Jackson week has to be tough, though. A lot of those songs are going to sound sort of dated unless you're hearing the original. And as much as I like "Rockin' Robin," it was a dumb choice for Megan. Also, it's only a Jackson 5 song in that they *recorded* it, which seems weird. (It wasn't written by them, right?)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes! The Darkness! Thanks. Adam sounds like he could be their lead singer if he were a little looser and on more drugs.

Punishingly Intricate

oh, it is like my addiction. I usually like Gillian, but this season I am all about Bob.

Gillian is getting on my nerves this season with the yelling. I thought she handled (or, really, didn't handle) the situation with Felipe really poorly. And I hate what a baby she was when they had the challenge where they couldn't use the gym. Bob I like because of the yoga. but he also bugged me when he was telling Felipe & Sione that he doesn't treat the show like a game or whatever it was he said. It was just a few episodes ago where he was giving his team shit for voting off someone (I don't remember who) and what bad game play that was and how they needed to play the game.

Don't you think the 2 sisters could have convinced black team girl to vote off Kristin (sp?) ? pulling a big switcheroo - instead of just accepting the scenario that Ron dictated? Ron kinda works my last nerve.

Yeah I didn't get that at all. Why was it a foregone conclusion that it had to be one of them going home?
