Ryan Seacrest in American Idol Season 10: A Pictorial History, Part Four

[finitejester37]

Previously, Ryan Seacrest went to some auditions, made it through Hollywood Week with Extra! Bonus! Vegas Day, and got us through the semifinals and the first round with the finalists. Now let's look at the next four episodes in which Ryan takes us from 12 hopefuls all the way down to, um, 11 hopefuls.

Your screencaps are truly a thing of beauty. I think the shot of Ryan's butt should be framed and mailed to Simon, the person most likely to be able to appreciate it for what it represents. :-)

Is so overcome with the tragedy that is happening on Haley's chin that he makes a giving-the-camera-the-finger blunder the likes of which we haven't seen since season one when Ryan had to stop the entire show to be all "SIMON YOU ARE GIVING AMERICA THE FINGER!!! but I know these things are different on your side of the pond and you won't understand if I give you a discreet signal so instead I'll leave the stage and walk over to you to physically shield your finger from the camera and then get all grabby with your hand and wrist until you stop.....

.... and call you 'Pretty Boy' in the process." You CANNOT forget the "Pretty Boy," that was the best part of that whole exchange.

Also, I think there is a good chance that Haley might be the first woman to experience Ryan's bodily fluids.

*sigh* I miss them so much. You were right when you said that Steven's birthday was the first time it looked like Ryan was having fun this season. He's being wonderfully professional, doing everything just right, but I personally prefer the unpredictable Ryan, when he was always one weird remark by Simon away from losing it, in ways both good and bad.

OMG! Somehow in all my many viewings of that clip I missed that Ryan called him Pretty Boy! How on earth did that slip by me? I was so distracted by the touching that I never really listened tor what Ryan was saying. OMG!!!!

Man, wasn't season 1 kind of the greatest? I like watching how their relationship on the show changed with time, how they stopped being so lopsided power-wise when Ryan started asserting himself more and pushing back more and whatnot in later seasons, but season 1 was amazing for all their "yes, we just met and yes, we are already fucking and can't take our eyes off each other"ness.

Sometimes I feel ungrateful, because while I am completely confident in my beliefs that they are in a romantic relationship, that knowledge by itself is not enough for me. I want the details. I want to know when they started fucking, when things changed from being primarily physical to emotional, what the hell that tension during Season 6 was all about, and exactly how things got to the present point where everything appears to be under control. I want someone to sit down with me and give me the whole story. Randy, Nigel, are you listening?
