Would anybody be very shocked if Chris went home? Doesn’t it pretty much have to be Jordin? I missed anybody but Ellen saying anything at all about a shocking elimination. I really hope it’s Chris. 😕 ---

I have to stop switching in and out of this show. Am I having an acid flashback or did they reanimate Elvis? ---

[QUOTE=Silver Fire] Would anybody be very shocked if Chris went home? Doesn’t it pretty much have to be Jordin? I missed anybody but Ellen saying anything at all about a shocking elimination. I really hope it’s Chris. 😕 [/QUOTE] Maybe they think it would be shocking because the judges sucked up to him so much last night? Maybe it’s shocking because Jordin is bottom two but she’s still safe please, let her be safe. I am not very happy right now, and it’s not just because Celine is singing. ---

It must be Jordin if it’s a shock. Meanwhile those two smirking douchebags, Chris and Phil will smarm their way to another fetid week. ---

They haven’t said anything about anyone being at the bottom… just that they are “safe”. For all we know Jordin could be #1… ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] 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? [/QUOTE] I don’t know. Clarkson sang before [The Daytona 500](http://kelly-clarkson.celebritything.com/photos.htm) back in January and she wasn’t fat then. Unless she’s downing hot fudge sundaes every night, I think it was the dress. ---

Oooh! Annie Lennox! Somebody cool! ETA: Okay, that question has been answered. The sound system there totally sucks if it makes Annie sound not so good. ---

I am soooo glad that I watched _Jericho_ and thus missed the first hour of this bloatfest. And now I’m working on an overnight rush, so don’t have time to do anything except keep the TV running in the background and see who’s eliminated. Does anyone besides me think that they’re going to fake us out and not send _anyone_ home this week? ---

I just have to say that I love this Cingular commercial. _woman on cell phone with her boss_: I guess you’ll just have to promote me then. Ooh, there’s a new sheriff in town. Heh, heh. [silence] _woman, nervously_: …I understand I have to work my way up, though. ---

What a lousy, suck-ass, rip-off of an episode. Two hours of worthless, filler garbage and no pay-off. I feel like suing somebody. :mad: The only consolation is that we might get to watch both Chris and Phil take a hike next week. ---

So are those the bottom three? And did Jordan have the lowest votes or not? ---

For those who didn’t see. No one went home. They’re going to have a double boot next week. They made Jordin think she was out. If they were going to jerk somebody around like that, I wish they would have chosen Chris or Phil.
