Results Show: Top 12 Announced (AI recap)
Cheesy opening number. What's up with that? And again, a highlight of how out of her league Antonella is. Everyone carried their weight but her. Can Sundance please go home tonight? blech, he's a screamer. Or something.
Phil, when they come at you with that blush brush, do the "talk to the hand" motion.
Jared -- he's surprised. Really surprised. But he's always a little questionable on the pitch, and his moving around makes his voice bobble too much ... (as evidenced in his farewell performance) He's darling, and should have made a few more rounds, but he wouldn't have been in the top 5 anyway. Quit showing Antonella crying! She's just anticipating her own swan song, perhaps?
Love Melinda, love Brandon. Still no surprises so far. Except maybe Phil the big crybaby :) Yay for Gina and Chris! WAHOO!
Pause for Carrie Underwood montage. Wow, that was some kinda Texas Big Hair she had during competition! And ... does she not look happy to be there, or what? A tip: if they're see-through; they're not leggings, honey. Song's almost over. Sadly, I'm not such a fan anymore. *YAWN*
Ryan: Stephanie and Antonella, come up
Ryan: How are you, Stephanie?
Stephanie (out loud): OK
Stephanie (in her head): What the Heck? If I'm up here with Antonella, I'm totally effing going home! How did this HAPPEN?!
Ryan: Antonella, you're going home. Stephanie, you're staying
Stephanie (in her head): Snap! That was just plain MEAN!
And we have to listen to Antonella sing off-key one more time. Thank goodness listening to this means it's the last. WHAT?!
Haley made it over Sabrina?! Now I'm saying What The Heck? Sabrina was at least one of the top 6. This voting thing is messed up.
Ryan: no doubt one of the most intense episodes we've ever had ... another WHAT? blah blah blah ...
I've said all along that the judges should do more than contribute counselling. They should have a say in the top 12, at least. Maybe they should be the ones who decide it. Or at least have half votes, like the judges on Dancing with the Stars. This is messed up. It's true she wouldn't have won, but then she's a LOT closer than Haley. It's like who do you want as the Speaker of the House, if something happens to both the Prez and the Veep?
And it's another Old Navy maternity dress ad.
Special announcement: I'm totally glad to hear that one of the most cash cow-ish shows on tv is "giving back". Good for them. Yay Ford, Coke, and other sponsors. BORAT?! Whatevah.
Is it Sanjaya or Sundance? Sanjaya looks like he's about to vomit. Can we send them both home? ... so the bleeding hearts who voted for Haley must like Sanjaya too. Sure they're both loveable, but come on ... Paula -- open mouth, insert foot. Had you not said "no disrespect to Sanjaya ..." we wouldn't have known you meant HIM! It could have been "in general".
And now we get to listen to Sundance screamgrowl (did he just do the cowardly lion "grdrdrdrd"?!) I'm done. Posting now.
A humorous note: when I posted on the AI site, I used "WTF" where you see "what the heck" in my blog here. The site edited "WTF" to "BLEEP"! LOL
