Kevin seems like a nice kid but he really never should have been there in the first place. I kep waiting for someone to drop a bucket of pig’s blood on his head.
???
This board keeps getting weirder.
You’ve never seen or read Carrie? It’s a Steven King book, hence the bucket of pig blood.
If you’ve never seen it you should. I wouldn’t recommend it for small kiddies though.
Whaaa…tell me! Did Kevin get the ax? I got a phone call right when Ryan started on the bottom 3…
AAAGH!
Come on, somebody tell us! Don’t leave us hanging!
I don’t remember the spoiler rules and I don’t wanna get spanked for breaking it.
Who is Pickler trying to kid? She doesn’t know what “a ballsy” means???
Well, you can always use a Spoiler box. But I figger if people don’t want shows spoiled for them, they won’t read discussion about them where they know the participants are talking about it.
The sky fell for Chicken Little
I’m really glad; I mean, come on.
There are two kinds of contestants in the final 12. People who can win and those who can not. He/She(for spoiler sake) was definately one of the “can not win”. Then again, the other two are also now officialy “can not wins”.
I’m just pissed it wasn’t Ace
Ding dong the witch is dead!
No, she definitely said, “What’s a ballsy?”
Look at that pickle!!!
“I thought he was saying I’m a pool table!”
- Kellie Pickler, next week
Kellie has spent enough time in sleeping bags in the back of pickup trucks with guys named “Jake” to know what balls are.
What I really wanted Ryan to do tonight was this:
"Kellie, you sang ‘Walking After Midnight’. Randy thought you worked it out. Paula thought you were a star. Simon said you were a minx, not a mink. America voted! And they agree with…
Simon."
The confused, expectant look on her face as she tried to figure out whether she was safe or on the seal would be priceless.
In Carrie (both the book and the movie) the title character (who is normally an introverted, geeky, unpopular girl) is invided to the prom by a popular jock and then elected Prom Queen as an elaborate prank which ends when she has a bucket of pig’s blood dumped on her head while receiving her crown (after which Carrie goes ballistic and kills everybody in the school).
Watching Covais, I always thought it seemed like a mean spirited prank. Putting the kid on stage, letting him think he was any good, telling him he was a “sex symbol,” etc.
I think he actually seemed to take everything in stride, though. He seems to realize he was lucky to get as far as he did and he’ll probably get some tail out of this, at least, which he probably would never have gotten otherwise, so it’s a net win for him.
Thanks for the explanation. I saw the movie with John Travolta about a million years ago, but didn’t make the connection.
Oh yeah, and I saw how Bucky whispered something to him after they found out Kev was off the show. I think he said, “Don’t worry, little dude. You are so going to get laid when you get home.”
I agree with Diogenes, Walter, and Eleusis - it was “What’s a ballsy?”
I thought she said “It wasn’t ‘ballsy.’”
But I’m probably wrong.
I’m gonna miss that Little Chicken.
Something Paula Abdul said got me wondering…she cited both Bo Bice and Clay Aiken as proof that you don’t have to win this thing to have a successful career. My response: “Yeah, but they finished second, not eleventh, for crying out loud.” Then of course I remembered Jasmine Trias and some other third-place finisher who made out all right. So my question, what’s the lowest you can place and still have a shot at a decent career? My guess would be third.
Shame that Kevin pulled it together just a little too late. I didn’t think he was horrible, just uninspired. He has a terrific attitude and will be moving on to better things now, so I’m not weeping for him.
I’m fairly certain that’s what she said, too. When she did not have to say anything. Her attention whoring is really. working. my. nerves.
Bye-bye, little bug. Hope you had fun and learned something, hope you get all kinds of laid when you get home, and I’m glad for your sake that you were spared the hell that John Stevens went through.
Tell me that line was not written for her. That was a play on “what’s a minx?” She had 24 hours of hanging out with the other people. Tell me the only way she had of actually asking that question was on live television.
