Bo had better not go home! I didn’t have a problem with Nadia talking about God, what I had a problem with was people in the audience shouting and wooing while she was trying to talk. If you must acknowledge that then how about some nice respectful applause when she gets done talking? I swear they find the stupidest people for the AI live audience. ---

Oh no, please, I wanna keep my eye candy. Come on Bo. ---

Damn! That was good. I’d ask who wasn’t voting for him last night, but I could point that finger right here. :smack: ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > I think people must have been taking Bo for granted and not voting for him. Hey, are we all having the same conversations in our homes? I never vote but Bo is so effortlessly good that I always assume he’ll be fine. I don’t know why I think that after Vonzelle was in the bottom 3 after a great performance. I just don’t understand America. ---

Bo so rules! _swoon_ That was even better than the first time, and how can you not love his well-adjusted attitude? **Dio** ’s right, same thing as we’ve seen in previous seasons, the ‘questionable’ candidates have fans that know their favorites endangered and power-vote for them, so the better candidates get forgotten. ---

Vonzell is so pretty. Love the green eyeshadow. ---

I don’t know why I think that after Vonzelle was in the bottom 3 after a great performance. I just don’t understand America. Which is why they should switch to voting for the person that you want knocked off the program, that way things like this wouldn’t happen. It would also allow me in some situations to vote for the people I don’t care about (Anthony, Nadia) to keep the trainwrecks like Mikalah (and potentially Scott) on the show without having to worry about the good ones on the brink (Vonzell) getting voted off due to my voting ways. ---

Nadia is singing You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me. ---

If it isn’t Scott (and I’m a fan) then I’m going to protest ineffectually! Possibly even whine! ---

I will yell obscenities at my television if Scott is not the one sent home out of this group. ---

I don’t care as long as it’s not Bo. ---

I suspect the judges know ahead of time who’s going and Paula was trying to reassure Bo fans. ---

I serious doubt that to be true. I wouldn’t trust that crazy woman with the results before the show. ---

Funny gestures… Yea, I thought the same from Paula… reassuring people… Or she could be drunk and had a rambling. ---
