> [@cricetus](#): > > [Histrionic personality disorder - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder) Yeah, you’re right. Some of those things can apply to Tatiana, but I’m not ready to brand her as certifiably crazy based on her actions on a TV show that demands that you show loads of personality and uniqueness. ---

Well I admit I haven’t given the girl an MMPI, but she seems really textbook when it comes to that particular diagnosis. ---

Argh…screwed over by DVR…we lost everything Megan after made it in. The must’ve run seriously over time this week. I wonder how are they going to handle this whole Top 13 deal. They’ve got the finals scheduled for May 20th, and that’s not going to change. So, are they going to do a double-elimination next week? Or maybe have three people in the finals? ---

well they’ve said they’re not doing Idol Gives Back this year, so that gives them some wiggle room, time-wise ---

You gotta give it to the Idol powers, they know how to work the drama. Of course everyone in the world would be bummed that Anoop didn’t make it, and then bammo - [m. night shyamalan] _it’s a twist!_ [/mns]. The look on his face was just priceless. Yay, Anoop Dawg - woot woot! Did you notice that when the top 12 all ran down off the risers to congratulate Anoop, poor Scott was left at the top sort of haplessly clapping along. Happily, his brother(?) came to the rescue and escorted him down to the floor. I have to admit: I laughed.
