Well, there you go. WTF is Whitney doing with her mouth in every single shot? I'm glad on principle, but meh in reality.

Fantasia on Idol with fire enginge red hair!! Hells yeah. That's what I'm talkin' about.

They should totally do an all star AI. I know most all star seasons suck, but c'mon. Kelly vs. Tasia. Melinda vs. Tamyra. Clay/Ruben the sequel. Hell, I'd even watch Daughtry vs. D.Cook and I hate both those fools immensely. Maybe they could take a page out of Survivor and do a Fans v. Favorites.

ION, Syesha's haircut is fierce. I wish I liked her more, I really do.

ETA: Wow, y'all, they really, really hate Syesha. Why would they put her and her piddly little crowds right after D'Archie and his stadiums full of screaming tweens? It's so sad.

ETA: Ok, so I am going to say some nice things about D.Cook. I know! Thing one: His brother is cute as a button! I totally would have preferred to have him on the show. (Well, that wasn't nice about him, but whatever). Thing Two: His look has gotten sooooo much better over the course of the show. Now, he's still an unfortunate looking but adequately styled young man, but early on in the season, damn, he brought the fug in a major way. (Well, that got a little not nice at the end there, but honest the intention was to be kind) Thing the Third: He came off as quite charming in his journey home and I normally never find him less than smug.

There. Now back to the hating.

Not surprising results, but poor D'Archie! Looked like he was going to pass out, woobie-boy.

Words to live by: either I'm going to stab somebody or I'm going to cook some awesome food.

Totally unsurprising results. And D'Archie did look terrified. I'm so glad that he's not going to actually win. The D.Cook pimping tonight was out of control. Let's bring the brother up (I'm assuming that was the cancer brother). Because he really needs those sympathy votes. Blegh.

no, actually. not the cancer brother. the brother that has cancer is his older brother. this is his younger brother.

and now i think i'll step away from the thread until after the finale before i say something i'll regret. see you guys for SYTYCD.

Sorry if that was insensitive and sorry if I offended you or anyone else.

oh, that's shitty. she didn't need to throw him under the bus like that.

Like the judges weren't going to notice what went into the dish? I mean, really.

I'm glad Stephanie did as well as she did. I was hoping that spending the day focused on the wedding cake would help her get her mojo back, and then when she fucked up the quickfire, I was worried -- but she's been in the bottom for most quickfires, hasn't she? At least several.

I think that Andrew has a point. It's one thing if the judges asked, but for her to volunteer that information was shitty. As shitty as Spike, frankly.
