It looks like a bird got caught in Carrie Underwood's hair, couldn't get out and died on her head. Fug-ly.

i have to admit i kind of liked not having to sit through a lot of the judges drivel. if the season keeps going the way i'm expecting it to, that may be how i watch from now on.

I don't think I could watch AI without TiVo. I only watch the boot on elimination night. And performance night I only watch the song and comments, none of the other fluff (videos, phone #)

who got booted?

Alexis. I was so ready for Michael, or almost any of the guys. I still don't get the Danny love, but I think I was put off by the whole sob story angle and then him singing "Hero".

I knew it was going to be Alexis. The judges haven't liked her (for some unknown reason) and critized her while praising others who to me are way less talented.

My co worker has a theory that Alexis did or said something off camera to offend the judges. That's the only reason she can think that they've consistently been hard on her.

Well, she was actually my favorite of the women, but I do think she was one of the worst on Tuesday. She sung much better last night than the night before.

I watch AI while reading a book. I only look up when they start singing.

For those who watched earlier rounds, was there more of a gender balance, or was Hollywood mostly male too?

Art Crawl!!!

Animal Planet is going to run a second season of Jockeys - and they're adding Garrett Gomez and Corey Nakatani to the mix. This time it's going to be about the road to the Triple Crown.

Corey!

I really enjoyed this season of Jockeys. I liked seeing the few jockeys and horses that I did know, and it was interesting to have the insider view. Funny how the different personalities play out.
