Meanwhile, Idol is so boring. I started out loving this season because I think Steven and JLo are charming, and I still do, but I couldn't care less who wins.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I thought Blake's ejectee (in particular) was ROBBED.
This cannot be said enough. All the other judges thought he took it.

Yeah, it kind of made me want to scream homophob! at the TV, and wish Reba would smack some sense into him.

I think it was more that he didn't want to lose country dude, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that guy was great. Booooo, Blake!

Also,
I think he picked a terrible song for both of them to sing. The worst song, by a mile, of all the 4 judges.

Yeah, I don't think he was voting against the gay guy -- the tweet happened much later, and as stupid as it was to say, I don't think he's a raging homophobe. Just a guy who hasn't figured out that shooting the shit with his buddies is a lot different than putting something out there to thousands of people, and as many interpretations.

I do think this was (at least) part of the decision, in all fairness, but I still think part of the reason is Patrick's straight all-American look.

There's got to be some element of top/bottom in the pairings, doesn't there? I mean, you wouldn't want to put your two favorites together, knowing one of them has to go. Although, how much opinion could they really have at this point? All they've done is picked them, and presumably they each really wanted all 8 of their people.

I thought the way to go would be to pair the most similar voices/performers, because you only need one? That seems to be what Christina and Cee-Lo did.
