Why don't they just give it to JENA#$7Q now if that's what they want so we can all get on with our lives. Is there any way to vote without giving TPTB access to my Facebook friends and email roster of others' addys? I don't mind giving MY email address, but I don't want them "in" it and getting other peoples' addys without their permission, if that makes any sense. (Or perhaps I'm crazy and karma is slapping me for making fun of "old" people who were not really old, but were afraid of the microwave in the 80s.) :) My point in mentioning that was to say this. So they beg folks to "vote for your favorite," but if they don't like the result they pull this stunt out of their ass. Do they charge for submitting votes? Because if so, that's a whole 'nother beef. Random, but I do wonder what Ryan is smoking. I also agree that Sam looked relieved. I know this is a shocker, but I was hoping it was JENA#$7Q! leaving -- especially since they said that next week's theme is LOAF. Oh, Dear God, help us all. I loathe the scripted Algonquin Round Table dinner starring JENA#$7Q! and some other people. Did Jessica even get to utter one word on camera? Hee. And I hope you were showing everyone your underarms and doing fist pumps in the air while screaming, "Hair way GAH!" (Here we go.) I liked Keith's song. Catchy hook. HONDS OPP!

YES! Was it fishy that that did not come up at all with all the distraction of THE VOTE!! I think Jena was bottom two and they didn't want to advertise that, so therefore they did not. Has there ever NOT been a bottom 2? .I wish we had a knoll thread here. Can we start one?

Please pass the Pepto.... and Patti's pencil. That whole display was beyond words. I'd have voted no depending on who I was. For example, Jess had to know she wasn't in the bootee spot because had it been her, they would have carried on as usual and she'd have been out. The reason for all the drama and the BS "twist" imo was TPTB didn't like the results. Kudos to the two who voted no.

Since this is Caleb's thread, I'll say that Caleb is what is he and does what he does which is loud blast rock....in my opinion . He apparently can't sing a soft ballad on key imo because that Aero song would have been a super chance to shine and imo he did not. He pulled it out there at the end, but I had to suffer through the flat, weak, really bad beginning to get there. Ouch. It was stripped down and he didn't kill it for me. Additionally, comparing Caleb to Jessica is apples and bananas imo. Same for comparing Alex and Caleb. They're just very different and appeal to different folks. That's the beauty of the world; Everyone can like what they choose to enjoy. I can prefer Jessica and Alex without stomping on Caleb and I can acknowledge what Caleb does bring to the table like that Whitesnake performance, which I liked, even if he bugs me somewhat. I really enjoyed Caleb's duet with Jessica.

OMG I spit my Fresca. Yes, I drink it. It's delicious. I can hear it now; "The artist formerly known as JENA#$7Q! has flopped after Idol and has joined a cult in a random mountainous area." I love Keith's jawline so that's the only thing stopping me from mocking his chicken head chair dance. "HONDS OPP!"

Oh, Holy mother! You nailed it. NAILED. IT. There it is, replete with HMU (Here's My Underarm) gestures. "HERE WE GO!!" Oh gag me. If JENA#$7Q starts doing that kicky thing I will throw things.

HelloPatti I "bleeeve" you mean HONDS OPP! (The trick is you have to totally commit to the marbles.) :) Pencil at the ready with a big ole' side of Pepto - enough for everyone. I'm a share-er like that. I saw a gif somewhere of JLo doing the stankface standing dance with the little circle hand gestures during Whitesnake. I wanted to say, " sit your happy ass down," but Keith was geeking it up pretty cute, so I let it go. And if I hear about those effing glow stix one more time.... well, pass the pencil - PTP, for short.

Hee, Mrs.M The karma gods are getting me for my rants by wonking my laptop, eating my posts, and making me retype. Here's one that will send me to hell for sure. JENA's$#7Q! face reminds me of that kid on Frasier who played Frasier's son. I wish I had a screen shot. I'm not saying she looks like a male. I just mean they could be siblings in a different time. Oh never mind; I just can't stop myself. :) I really liked the Whitesnake song. There. I said it. And Alex's voice was gorgeous with that woman on Say Something. That's how you do a ballad, Caleb. True that. Do 23 year old men really go to proms?

Hee, Ohwell THIS. "Stope mockin a full oot-tah MAAAY..... Vie-ler-RYE." Pass me HelloPatti's neck pencil. Jess looked hot in that red dress. When she stood after the sitting singing, I was all, (as the kids say) "if that were me I'd so step on my own dress when standing up and do a header into the judges table. " Why is it no one notices in the judgery that JENA7Q!#$ doesn't have a lower register to speak of? Are they not allowed to notice or comment on it? Holy Mother. I also loathe JENA's$#7Q patented HMU move of which she is so very fond. (Here's My Underarm.) Stop it. "HONDS OPP!!" (hands up - for those who require a translator) My computer is going wonky and eating my posts.

Yes, you're right. I just find the whole thing fishy. :)

I wasn't the poster who said, "According to JLo I'm out of touch with America" but now that we're saying it I probably am hee. You made me *snort*, MrsM with your Starbucks analogy. GOLD! Agreed about the show bubble and some folks (read "JENA!!!) will likely be in for a rude awakening. To me, Sam reacted to Grande No Pants as if he didn't have a clue who the hell she was. Who is this random hot chick in almost-a-dress? Jehna: "The person who's going to rise to the top is the person who feels comfortable on the stage." She knows three of the 5 have been dinged for looking uncomfy. GAG. Subtle much? I loathed her "My BIDE-dee." It was cringeworthy for me. "AH-ite honds opp!!!" Oh, DO go home already and take your glow stix with you. (past reference) Pass the Pepto. PS: I'll have some of what Ryan was having. :)

HelloPatti pass the pencil, and I'll raise you, I'll open a vein. Wow those "crushes" came off as a total crock of bullshit to me. Do any of those people not have affiliations with the show, the network, or the record label? I hope the studio audience in the front enjoyed Grande's underpants if she wore any. Oh, and we have it and we know it cuz it's been shoved down our throats, Jehna is WILD! and a card! and a wildcard!! Don't forget it, goddamn it. :) Is it wrong to say she makes me a little nauseated? I don't think she thinks she's going to win this thing. On the contrary, I get the impression that she sees herself as an established international superstar, the yardstick by which to measure all future superstars, and she deigns to lower herself to appear on the Idol stage as a huge personal favor to the unwashed masses who are lucky enough to breathe the same air. Caleb made me cringe on the first part of that song when it was basically his voice and a couple of soft strings. YIKES.

Sorry. Wrong thread. I'm a doofus

Oh Dear God, so much THIS. Glad I'm not the only one. I had to change the channel for a bit. I usually like JLo, but I wish she had shut her pie hole. Jehna's "Cahm on every-bide-dy!" is second only to "Every-bide-dy OPP!" on the annoyance factor for me with that stupid fist pump. Caleb sounded godawful to me on the first half or most of that Aerosmith song. However, once he hit "time" on a loud note, he seemed to turn it around. I see why he hasn't been singing softer ballads. It's not his thing. Yikes. So Mraz was there and I like him well enough. If there were a Knoll here I'd say that that seems knolly for Alex in a good way. but I like Alex and thought he did a great job last night. I liked both his songs, but the second was amazing and the (unnamed?) backup singer sold it. Not super crazy about that Human song of Jess's, but she sang it well, imo. Good for her. I enjoyed her other song and also the Stones duet with Caleb too. I agree she seems more relaxed in the duets and group numbers, but I do enjoy her solos. No more porkpie hats. Sheesh. Grande never wears pants that I've ever seen. She usually wears some kind of lampshade poofy little girl skirt that barely, and I do mean barely, covers her lady bits. Why was Ryan jumping on HCJ? Sometimes I wonder if he's losing it or if he's... um.. self-medicating. Awkward. Jeh-na, on the trio number, had to over-sing Alex and Sam.. "Oy hodd a drime soy bog en lood." Translation: "I had a dream so big and loud." Well, she's loud all right. Get off my screen. My husband asked if she were singing in Gaelic or was that English with an Irish accent. I blinked and missed it mentioned on the show, but read it here. The spelling "JENA" is just gag-worthy. Who does she think she is? Seriously. The all caps, one name bullshit is just totally beyond the pale. I'm with HCJ on this; She should go ahead and add an EXCLAMATION! POINT! and some other punctuation. On a shallow note, I hate the Cher hair. She's not Cher. She's not Lorde. And that insipid wide eyed, pouty "sincere" face she makes while the judges bathe her with their tongues makes me sick. Bottom two for me are Jeh-na and someone else; I guess it'd be Sam; I don't hate him. I guess I just prefer to see Jess and Alex stay for the final two. So I'm sure that won't happen. Caleb can sing really well for the most part, imo. He bugs me, but not even a fraction as much as JENA does .

Penny regarding Priya via Amy's primate philosophies, "Amy's right; I do want to fling my poop at her."

Well here goes. I watch this show sometimes in blocks of 6 eppys on the rerun channel and I don't know all the titles, but I do want to discuss aspects of the shows. I generally didn't enjoy the Priya character, but one of my favorite eppys was one during her run as Leonard's gf. She didn't make the eppy for me however. It was the one where Sheldon gets mad at Priya and Leonard b/c she was pulling out the law on him about the roommate agreement. Sheldon went to Penny's to move Pizza Night to her apartment and ended up going out on Girl's Night which is what makes the eppy hilarious for me. I wish I had a gif of Amy dancing with Sheldon. She was march-dancing and her arms and facial expressions were gold. Some dude asked Penny to dance and she got groped heh. Also this was the one with the smoking monkey in Amy's apartment who "was an ass" for blowing smoke in Sheldon's face. Gold, I tell you. Usually I dont' love the ones with Priya, but clearly this was an exception. Drunk Amy is always funny. Amy to Sheldon: "You're like a sexy toddler." Sheldon, dryly: "I don't know how to process that."

Tony, free at last. He was beaming! Who dressed NeNay? Was it Tony? If so, he got a little sweet revenge there imo because many times she looked like Big Bird. Normally, I notice that non-stick-thin, non-skinny, non-petite women can be very gorgeous and graceful and awesome. She's not one of them, imo. Tom tried to coax MeMe to thank Tony before the clip package with, "You had a great partnership with Tony and here are some examples." Cue clip reel. She did not pick up the hint. Then Tom tried again with the phrasing, "Hey Tony, do you want to say something about your partner?" Any oaf would have gotten it by the second hint, so I'm guessing NeNay did not want to thank Tony deliberately. She's many things, but I don't think she's completely stupid. Tony spoke and Tom said quietly, "Good enough, Tony" which was apt, imo, as in, .... it was as if Tom were thinking, "ok, Tony, you took the high road and said nice things, don't over do it." If NeNay has since gone on social media and thanked Tony and apologized for her omission of him in her exit speech, then never mind. I will stand corrected.

I don't think I misheard, but Maks and Meryl got 3 tens and a nine from Len, 39; but Erin said, "a 40 for Maks and Meryl." Hmmm. Much too many diaper pants. Go away. When Amy said that she was having trouble breathing, to me that signals the end of the interview right then. I wonder who the lone boo-er was who sounded like a wounded moose.

I loved that Meryl cracked her wrist, held it for a moment, said, "frick" and moved on. Frick. I didn't mind the troupe members in the background because I couldn't take my eyes off Meryl and Maks. Wow. Maybe we can we pool our funds and get Bruno a seatbelt or chair restraints and some sedatives.

I think Latin Night is my favorite of the themes. I generally love all the music and this show was pretty good,imo. I wish the music guy could get his cues right. Jesus. Is it that hard? They do have rehearsals for that kind of thing. I giggled at Danica to Val: "I don't care if you get me in the boob. I don't care." And props to Val for the having the nads to go in the ladies room to check on Danica. Danica was adorable in those cutoffs and I wouldn't have known she had a rib injury if they didn't tell me. Not sure the jump rope bit was necessary. Ouchy. I love a hot dance as much as the next girl, but the way Peta was stroking that hose at the beginning of, "Gas-oh-LEEN-nah" was a bit much. Later in the performance Peta got under James, he was straddling her and apparently supposed to be riding her with the vroom vroom engine sound of the song. Alrighty then. Should I go fetch my pearls? :) Ricki's whole face lights up when he speaks and I was loving the facial hair. Bruno cannot stay in his chair. He just can't.

This sounds bitchy, but why stop now heh. NeNe reminds me of one of those balloon people thingys that businesses use to get your attention when they have a sale etc. They're filled with air and they stand! UP! and wave their balloon arms all around frantically, then they kind of deflate and bend over. Then they do the same thing again with the arms. And points to Ricki for calling NeNay, "Ninny." It was a mouth slip, but I LOVED IT. I'll be hell if you need me. :)

Keith and Harry. Sidenote if I can throw JLo in the mix too, then her too. :)

People do wear less on the beach, but Peta wasn't on the beach. And they don't go to Kroger like that either. :) I thought it was a bit much, or a bit not enough... When there's no place to attach your mic pack, Peta, time to take a hard look at your wardrobe imo. Pretty crappy to ask the masses to vote whether to see Tony shirtless. Seems a little crass and I'd be wondering, "Ouch what if they vote, 'Shirt on!' " Ouch. I'll give Erin a half point for calling out Peta's lingerie as Victoria's Secret, although I wish Erin had gone with "Frederick's of Hollywood" as mentioned. More trashy and don't ask me how I know. Well, dammit, now I have an earworm, "Me GUSTA la gas-o-LEEN-nah."

OMG THIS. My second belly laugh of the day and aint it the truth? (Sidenote, I love flove the posters and mods here -- so smart and dry and witty. Virtual hugs to all who I read every day with my hot tea and then later in the day too.[/need to get a life] First belly laugh, for those keeping count, *snort* was "tape and sequins" Peta. Hee. Should a woman in her 40's (CAI) be using the lingo, "sic" or is it "Sick?" to mean great? I loved that beautiful, gorgeous, hot Ricki was feeling his feelings. Also, so sweet that he asked Danica how she was doing. A hot, talented man who is a nice person AWESOME! More, please. Speaking of Danica, she looked super hot. She's always cute, but wowza. I immediately thought of fellow poster, DanDanNoodles and how he must be losin' it hee. I see it now, DanDan. I wish Amy had told someone to suck it if they asked her to put her man on blast like that. Not cool, Show.

Hee. First chuckle of the morning and I agree. Tape and sequins indeed. I'll see you that and raise you some rhinestone bedazzled band-aids. :) When I saw Peta in the blue jumpsuit at the beginning of the routine I thought, "no way is she doing the whole dance in that much fabric." So women are wearing diaper pants now too? HATE. [/Peta's rehearsal pants] Holy mother, I love Ricki Martin. Just love him. Hated his white pants, but loved his performance and his guest judging. The man knows how to bring it, I'll give him that.
