Well, Will sings pretty good for a Starbucks CD… ---

It seems like the girls actually liked David. Must be a backstage favorite. ---

Paula’s been sniffing glue. ---

Young tasty meat… I’m sorry for Sway… And why is Paula hugging Simon? ---

Are Paula’s eyes even open? She’s a mess. ---

WTF was that abot the cornflake and the fortune cookie? Is Paula just completely wasted tonight? ---

The girl whimpered a bit, when David left, but I think she understands. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > Her confidence, for one thing, Big talk isn’t confidence. She’s what we call “all hat and no cattle.” Now Chris has confidence. Notice he doesn’t say much. I agree with you about Kellie’s put-on, but that doesn’t make Brenna good. ---

Why is Brenna making gestures for us to call? You lost, ass. I don’t think the record execs are going to get that message. **DtC** , I don’t buy Brenna’s “confidence.” I think Ace and Taylor are confident as well. They don’t seem to oversell it, which is what Brenna seems to do in my mind. Those one liner comebacks sound like defensiveness. Of course AI producers tell contestants to play up, so I’m sure she’s not that obnoxious in real life. At least I hope she isn’t… ---

OH MY GOD! Is Paula drunk again? What was that thing about a fortune cookie? Thank you god for taking Brenna…(Off the show) ---

Oh, that’s why Paula’s been so weird lately. That makes more sense now. ---

> [@dwalin](#): > > Oh, that’s why Paula’s been so weird lately. That makes more sense now. _Lately?_ Wait until about the third or fourth week of the finals, when the special celebrity guest judge is Arsenio Hall and the theme of the week is “Songs by Paula Abdul or Paul Anka or Peter, Paul & Mary” and somebody Paula loves, like maybe Paris, ends up in the bottom two – oh sweet baby Jesus, it’s going to be _wonderful_! BYOB, of course. ---

Man, I was sick of watching Brenna pose. Thank goodness that’s over. I was a bit surprised to see Chicken Large in the bottom three. ---

Sway’s sing out was pretty good – much better than his performance last night. I’m kind of sorry to see him go. Paula’s performance was disgraceful. ---

They _dared_ try and exile my hobbit before I was through with him? Bastardos! Makar needs to be gone at least as much as he does and Ace yet moreso! (He’s pretty to look at [Ace] but I’ve looked at him- he’s dismissed.)
