I find Ace repulsive.

Lisa was clearly ready to go.

I hope Katharine knocks it out of the park next week.

Well fuck. How is that “shocking?”

Who are the criminals who keep votinng for Pickler? Those people are everything that’s wrong with America.

Katherine lost me a little bit with the “God’s plan” prattle. I didn’t know she was one of those.

Goodbye, Lisa. Her singout is actually better than her last couple of performances.

I believed her when she said, “It’s OK, really.” when they told her she was bottom three. I think she was really OK about it.

Next week’s topic is country… yuck…

But somehow it wouldn’t surprise me if Chris does Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt by NIN.

Next week they’re singing country? They’re making it very hard for me to continue watching this trainwreck. 🙂

Biggirl, I believed her too… I believed her today…

I don’t get the part where some of you have been saying for the past couple of weeks that Lisa wanted to get out…

Lisa wasn’t as obvious as that little girl with the flower back on season. . . oh, I don’t know. I thought it was cruel the way people voted for her when it was obvious she was terrified. I think she may have been the one who cried on her sing out.

That was a good sing out, better than the original performance.

Country could be good, but I hope they reach past the Alan Jackson and Shanya Twain and find something a bit more interesting, like Dwight Yoakum or Alison Krauss.

Country next week , huh? Kelly & Bucky will be in their element, should do well. Let’s see how much Chris can stretch for it. Mandisa will have problems, I think. Taylor & Elliot should do OK… Katherine, too. Paris… I dunno.

Ace… oh, Ace. Just stand there in tight jeans, hon.

For me it was the way she reacted every time she wasn’t voted out. Shocked and very NOT relieved.
