Someone needs to tell Haley that words have consonants.

I don’t think Doucheglasses will last very long in the voting. He still hasn’t explained himself very well about his mean-girling of Jacee either.

This Paul McDonald guy is like one of the “Dick in a Box” characters. He looks like he should be a back up singer for the Doobie Brothers.

How does Doucheglasses get in ahead of Medina?

They’re both not very good. The problem with Medina is his not very good gets the pity vote and sticks around until the finale.

Love, love, love Paul McDonald. Didn’t like the Nudie suit, but they are a Nashville tradition.

This is shaping up to be a good season. Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are the best judges they have ever had. Now to just replace Randy…

He reminds me of someone from one or two seasons back, but I can’t for the life of me come up with a name – I think it was a guy who’d done some theater and he had also shafted somebody, done something shady.

Did Jacee make it through? I think I changed the channel too soon.

I like Naima.

I couldn’t stand Ashley and am so glad she’s gone. Wish she’d taken Haley with her–I don’t dig that screamy, shrill voice. It should have been Haley getting the boot instead of Chris Medina.

Felt bad for Chris Medina. WTF is he going to do? He goes on national t.v. and in front of millions of people proclaims his love and allegiance to his shattered girlfriend, which is admirable and kind and all that. Yet, the rest of us know that it won’t last because you can’t live your life in the past, and one day he’ll have to make that tough choice to leave her. Which is difficult and tragic enough on its own, but then to have the weight of all that publicity on your shoulders…

I just feel immeasurably sad for him and Julianna and her family. What a nightmare for them.

Can I just reiterate what a mushpool Steven Tyler is. I just love him.

Poor J.Lo. It’s nice to have someone on the show with a bit of sympathy and estrogen who isn’t batshit crazy to boot. And it had to be especially hard to cry with those fake eyelashes on.

What is it with kids with crazy hair and eukeles?

BTW, I am pretty impressed with how well the rejected kids have handled it. Their mamas should be proud.

Jacee hasn’t been dealt with yet.
