What the purple poodle farts is this??? I tuned in to see who gets voted off and I get sap, crap, and Jack Black? ---

We have to wait through _two hours_ of this crap? I’ve been flipping around a lot. I just saw Ryan say that Blake was safe. Has anyone else been pronounced safe yet? ---

I think Melinda… He has announced 2, and the last one was Blake. ---

I have a bad feeling it is gonna be Jordin or Melinda. ---

Gahh…I just checked to see what was going on and there was some middle aged fat guy with a spike hairdo yodelling some godawful country song. I had to switch back to Keith Olbermann. ---

I haven’t really been watching but I clicked it on in time to see Carrie Underwood’s glurgey video. “Let’s get a close up of the little black baby’s tears! That’ll get 'em.” Saw Jack Black, = he actually isn’t too bad a singer. I thought Sanjaya’s reaction seemed overdone, though. You’re a good sport, we get it, don’t overdo it. ---

So much talent and yet…it’s falling flat. Still, I gave $20. I’m a sucker for poor kids. And I like the thought behind helping people who are desperately poor it even if I think the fundraiser is too long and too schmaltzy. How many pot shots are they going to throw at Sanjaya tonight? ---

Melinda is safe. In order for it to be shocking, it would have to be Jordin or Blake. DAMN! ---

Phil, Blake, and Melinda are safe… ---

Again, they’ve called three people saying they are safe, those are: **Melinda** **Blake** **Phil** Jordin, Lakisha, or Chris… I’m thinking Lakisha, and really hope it is not Jordin. ---

Is it just me or does Teri Hatcher bear a disturbing resemblance to Michael Jackson? On a serious note, this show is a serious downer, to say the least. ---

Jordin would be extremely shocking\*. Lakisha might be considered shocking because she once seemed to have a lot more potential. Chris would be shocking to me, only because I actually want him to go home and I never get what I want. \*and extremely stupid. ---

Dio, I think that’s the “shocking” part 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Gahh…I just checked to see what was going on and there was some middle aged fat guy with a spike hairdo yodelling some godawful country song. I had to switch back to Keith Olbermann. [/QUOTE] My mom informed me that they are Rascal Flatts. I think they covered “Life is a Highway” for _Cars_. She’s compared Chris R’s nasal “style” to this band in the past, but I don’t see it. That is a horrible dress for Kelly Clarkson. Also, I want Chris to go home. I don’t want to be shocked. ---

Whoa…I just tuned in again and…is that Kelly Clarkson? She got FAT. Wait a sec, is that Jeff Beck on stage with her. What in the holy hell is Jeff Beck doing on American idol? ---

Ryan Seacrest is a horrible voice-over worker. “Ruth died two days later.” He sounds emotionless. ---
