Ah, Mr. Hernandez. I was afraid he was getting voted off last week. Man, he made me hot. I got it in for Latin guys. ---

Ok, I’m melding two reality shows here… Does Gay Danny remind anyone else of Parvati from Survivor? Anyone? Am I alone here? ---

Actually – yes, I would believe it, David. If you asked me to guess which guy was a gymnast, you’d be right up there. Winning 10 or so medals, though? I’m guessing it was 4. Good singing, though. ---

Is Danny one of those Emo kids? I also adore the one w/the guitar. Sounded about 1000x better than anyone else. ---

This guy’s vocals sound ok, but the inane, smiling/winking/pointing, lounge singer stuff contrasts with the song and just looks ridiculous. I never really cared for the Doobie Brothers anyway. ---

Is Jason Yeager singing? I haven’t noticed…I’m mesmerized by his teeth. Oh - and his ass. Good goddamn! 😛 I’m such a dirty old bat. Guh. ---

No, son, the Doobie Brothers do not have soul. The fact that you think they do explains a lot about your performance. ---

Totally missed Jason Yeager singing. I was here, in front of the TV and totally missed it. He sang Long Train Running? Another song, along with Baba O’Reilly, that I’ve only learned the real name of within the last 5 years or so. ---

What is up with Simon’s right hand? Is he channeling the Mother Ship or something? ---

I still don’t like the way Cheezy dresses but I loved his singing. How did he say his name is supposed to be announced? ---

I feel sorry for Southern Rocker. This guy rocks pretty softly but still rocked harder. This guy, um, Scarf Wearing Guy? Come on-- show his name already! Ah, finally David Cook. ---
