Because books.

Does anyone else think Danny Noriega (AI) looks like a male Jessica Alba, or is it just me?

Guess I'm going to have to tell TiVo to catch AI for me, I keep forgetting. I still haven't heard any of the boys!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

So, I officially hate the enforced themes for this year's top 24 rounds. And it is resulting in the vast majority of the contestants sounding like absolute shit each week. And it's boring. Why did they do this?

Anyway, I only liked three performances. The other seven live somewhere between bad and nigh unwatchable. I couldn't even begin to pick just three for the bottom. Also, I took notes again. I decided that since I've already been exposed I'd just go with it.

Top Three

David Hernandez – Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone

This fool can really blow. Work it out, Papi. He is laying it down. Sad that he has no star power. He really doesn’t have the “it”, whatever “it” is. It’s freaky, because he can really sing, but I have no interest in him. He blew it out, though. Finally. A great vocal.

Chikezie – I Believe to My Soul

Wow. He can really sing. And he’s not dressed like a pumpkin pimp. Second good vocal of the night. He’s so good. I don’t even know what to do with this. That was excellent. Cute with Simon. Very cute. I enjoyed him. Shout out to the band and the back up singer. Well done, Jacuzzi.

David Archuleta – Imagine

OMG, they are showing him and Kelly!!!!! EEEEEEEE! Bundle of cute! Oh, sweetie. I’m giving you a pass because you’re too young and innocent to know how very cliché this is. And because you. can. straight. up. blow. Such a beautiful voice this creature has. He is a phenomenal singer. Paula is so toasted. Please take her home. Please stop pimping him, show. Because when you decide to turn on him, it will be that much more vicious and I don’t want to see that.

Everyone else was absolute crap, even my lovely diva, Danny Noriega. But If I had to choose two to get rid of, here's my Bottom Two

Luke Menard – Killer Queen

“You have to be flawless. You can’t make mistakes.” HA forever! Well better this week. Now he sounds like a broke down Freddy Mercury. Does he have an actual voice and style of his own? And what is he doing? What is with all the weird ass gestures and non-dancing? They really did just go to the Theater Geek Close Out Store and clean house. I hate him so much. Please go home, annoying man. Ah, so this was a Paula choice? That explains soooo much. Listen to Simon. Ha! Ryan hates him and so do I.

Jason Yeager – Long Train Running

Oh, lord. How I fear the teeth. Another really not great song choice. Oh, man. More bad gay man dancing. He is a really competent singing waiter/restaurant singer. And I’m sure I’d enjoy him singing me a chorus or two as he served me my fettucine alfredo. But he’s not a star. Sorry. Thanks for playing. Simon once again bringing it like it should be brought.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So that was one of the most bananas Big Brother episodes ever -- two people rushed to the hospital simultaneously! -- and yet, I still don't care one way or the other about any of the characters.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

James came off pretty well - I might have to revise my opinion of him. But the rest of them, yeah. Freaky stuff.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But now everybody luvs everyone else! It was their own very special episode of Big Brother!

Yeah, James seems all right to me -- an actual decent person who is absolutely down with playing a sheisty BB game.

But now everybody luvs everyone else!

We'll see how long that lasts. You know how ugly things can get when former-fake-lesbian-lovers turn on one another. Also, Sheila's nuts.
