And it's only a matter of time Paul will turn on her - if she can't compete and win physical challenges. Last season, it help his game to be aligned with Victor and Paulie - both of who were very strong in comps.

My problem with Kevin is that he confides way too much in Paul - and it ultimately will come back and bite him. It didn't sound like he watched last season, since he didn't know Nicole, so Kevin obviously doesn't know what a scumbag Paul really is.

It just shows how arrogant/stupid Paul is if he thinks that Jessica will somehow run back to him. If anything, she will unleash her furry on him. She may be an annoying villain, but at least she knew to oust him front of the house for lying about having the Pendant of Protection. It was Cody who broke the trust with the alliance - not her.

Game over. Might as well just hand Paul the $500K. The house is too stupid (or spineless) to see what a threat he is. Fact is, he will be the first to turn on someone.

If Christmas stays, Paul will even be more drunk with power. He already thinks he's running the house. Hopefully, his big ego and big mouth will eventually do him in - and the others will see what a manipulator and liar he really is.

Oh, cry me a river. I am sick of seeing this loser portray as a victim. Most people had it much tougher than he has. He's had more opportunities and connections than most. Truth is, he is a spoiled, lazy, fat slob who feels entitled because of his last name. The guy has zero personality, isn't very bright and unlike his sisters, lack any kind of work ethic.

I call FRAUD on this Pendant of Protection. It was obviously rigged by the producers to keep Paul in the game. It was the first vote - where viewers were not familiar with any of the other house guests and the voting window was very brief. 3 weeks safety is total b.s. Cody has no game, but at least he sees Paul for who he really is. The house needs to get him out ASAP - otherwise, it will end up like last season where a vet slither by and won. I dread sitting through another season of Paul and his out of control ego.

Paul is playing nice now because he has too - he knows that as a vet he has a huge target on his back. The real Paul has always had a very dark and mean side to him. Remember him verbally attacking Michelle last season. Paul played a better game than Nicole - but he lost because he had crap on too many people on the jury. They need to get him out ASAP - or he will continue to slither through.

Because he is an alpha male, strong competitor and a threat in the game. That's always the kiss of death for some viewers. So he gets pick apart - for nonsense stuff. Double standard. Cody doesn't bother me. He's here to play the game. I can respect that. He's really not that vicious or annoying. He may not have liked Megan, but he didn't lie to her either. And he sees Paul and Josh for who they really are.

This IS Big Brother. If she can't handle being nominated because someone doesn't like her, she should not be in the game.

Megan turned out to be a big FRAUD. It's laughable that she cracked only after a few hours in the house. Yet she tried to pass herself as this tough competitor who apparently has worked in a prison, as an interrogator, but tells the hgs's she is a dog walker so they won't be intimidated. Ironically, in her bio she slams the whinny girl who cracks under pressure (reference to Tiffany Rousso from last season). Yet Tiffany did fight to stay in the game and lasted longer than Megan. Good Riddance. If they need to bring someone back, give Cameron a chance. At least he wanted to be there.

19 likely wanted to resolve this with the Reboot. They've really taken a hit - with Kelly and J-Hud jumping ship to The Voice. Simon Fuller favorite Carrie leaving for another label. And Fantasia no longer with RCA (no new label yet).

Come on, you make it sound like Max is just making ends meet to survive. I don't think Mark, Karina, Cheryl are more successful than Max. And Louis, Anna, Edyta definitely are not. He does have the name recognition.

Is this Mama Joyce, lol.

Brandi? No. No. No. When she came on the show, it segue way into the Slums of Beverly Hills. She was too poor for the BH lifestyle. Kim? I would have more empathy if she hasn't shown herself to be so unlikeable and untrustworthy. Her addiction issues have been discussed to death on the show. Enough.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: 'American Idol' Reaches New Low for Winner's Debut Album Nick Fradiani, Hurricane - No. 121 — Nick Fradiani, the winner of the 14th season of American Idol, arrives on the Billboard 200 with his first post-Idol album, Hurricane. The set blows at No. 121 with just over 5,000 units (of which 5,000 are pure album sales). The first 14 winners of American Idol have now all reached the chart with their debut albums. The 15th (and final) season winner, Trent Harmon, is currently at work on his first effort. Harmon was crowned the winner of Idol’s farewell season on April 7. Fradiani’s debut marks the lowest debut for an Idol winner’s first album, both in terms of position and sales. See list, below.

The WGWG Winner's Group was Nigel Lythgoe's favorite performance from the finale. https://twitter.com/dizzyfeet/status/719068007528423424

J-Lo actually has been very consistent in what she has said about Phillip. Of course she is going to align with the media, industry who considers him successful, especially among the male winners. This is what Simon Cowell had to say in a recent interview with Lyndsey Parker https://www.yahoo.com/music/simon-cowell-am...&soc_trk=tw

The finale was a once in a lifetime, history making show that got tons of media coverage. It was fun seeing the alums coming together days before the show in rehearsal hanging out. Lots of fun, behind the scene stuff. Pics of Kris, Allison, Danny reuniting. BTW, David Cook also had a guest spot a few weeks ago, but his WGWG group tribute to David Bowie got way more press attention.

Carrie doesn't need Idol to promote her tour. She always said she wouldn't miss it and wanted to be there in person. As an indie artist, it's tougher for Kris to switch dates around. I disagree about a "cheesy goodbye" or that his career is more important than others.

Oh come on, others have careers - and families. Carrie and Kris rearranged concert dates. Kelly taped her performance, because she was too pregnant to fly. Jennifer Hudson taped her performance because she was on Broadway. It's not like the RHPC revolved around his character.

He doesn't have to hang out with Danny Gokey. There were lots of alums there. It's not always just about making an appearance to promote a record. This was about paying respects to a show that gave him a career. The same goes with Josh Gracin who didn't think coming back was going to help his career. And David Archuleta who had turned down Nigel Lythgoe's invite to perform Imagine, then made an appearance only because fans shame him into. It was a great show and it looks the those who did show up had great time.

Actually, the guys ended up getting really good reviews from critics. This was Nigel Lythgoe's idea, who thinks if they tour together, they would sell-out. Anyway, this turned out to be the only winner's performance of the night.

This season's contestants really got gyp. Carrie should have been showcased like Kelly, who has been a mentor with her songbook, a judge, performed several times including a medley of her songs. They should have cut the judges and Kara Dioguardi individual performances. That took up too much wasted time, especially J-Lo's. Same with Brian Dunkleman and William Hung. Scott Borchetta wants Trent to go Country. Just Say No. But at least La'Porsha is getting signed.

With the end of Idol, there probably won't be another Forbes list. But he did Top the last one, followed by Carrie, Daughtry, Phillip, Kelly Scotty. Here's a pic of David, Phillip, Kris, Lee, Nick - the WGWG Winner's group - at rehearsal for the finale. https://twitter.com/Phillips/status/717844944711458816
