> [@jsc1953](#): > > I thought it interesting how Paula, who gets so much abuse for vacuous commentary and .. uh… impaired presence, is the only judge who remembers names and previous performances. Yeah, we’ve noticed this year that some of the most constructive, on-point comments have come from - shocker - Pauler! You still get the seal-clap nonsense, of course, but at times she’s been surprisingly lucid. Aw, crap. DialIdol does me wrong tonight! It was down to Ju’not and Jorge, Jorge makes it. DI was saying Ju’not. Darnit! ---

Oh for fuck’s sake. That officially makes the show a joke. I wonder who got cut to make room for Jessie. ---

Screw spoiler wraps. If people don’t want the show spoiled after its aired shouldn’t read the thread. ---

Anoop looks like he doesn’t want to be there. Well, shit. No Felicia, no Norman (no surprise). I’m surprised they didn’t pick Kendall. My guess is that they don’t want to divide up the country votes and they think (for some odd reason) that Roughneck is their great country hope this year. What a weird season (so far). ---

Anoop was such an unsurprise. I want to see Jesse do something awesome. ---

I was actually getting worried for Anoop there at the end. He looked like he was going to pass out. ---
