I was wincing during that scene for the same reason.

Considering that I had NO busy signals for Allison last night, I’m shocked!

Oh, Kara… that was… unfortunate.

And thanks, NB, for also being the voice of reason with the cake war. 😃

The show is so rigged. I bet he’s not even in the bottom 3, they just want drama.

Dialidol ranked them as:

Okey Dokey Gokey  
Adam  
Allison  
Kris  
Matt

But the votes were very close (no statistical difference) so Adam could have been in the Bottom 3.

My satellite is popping in out…what happened to Kara?

I’m not convinced that Taylor Hicks’ guitar is hooked up to an amp.

DialIdol has been wrong a bunch this season, though. OH PLEASE. So rigged. Sorry, Kris just got sent back to the couch.

Kara said something about how her mouth always opens for Adam or something.

I’m more inclined to believe that Adam has been so hyped that the home audience assumes he’s safe and they’re voting for their second favorite.

Actually I just thought that. He’s been my favorite all season, and I haven’t voted once. Guess I will next week if he doesn’t get Daughtryed!

No. She’s been publicly battling Hep C for about a year now, and is currently undergoing dialysis 3x per week while waiting for a kidney transplant.

Auto-tune needs to die. It sounds like a robot is “singing”.

You called it. If he goes, he’s been Daughreyed!

Oh, I didn’t know that! My dad was on dialysis for a few years and lost a lot of weight, too. She sounded great, though.

If Adam does go home tonight, I’d say that he’s the one I’d worry the least about having a successful career.
