All eliminations are sad. This one strikes a personal blow to my heart. It ends one of the most dramatic runs in Idol history, coming to an end here in Week 16. Still, WEEK 16, I hope that everyone who leaves at this point is proud of what they have accomplished.
There are other people going as well, and some damn fine ones as well, but there was one that I was watching with bated breath to see what was going to happen.
Given how close the polls were anyway, a few more votes in either direction could have tipped the scales in both polls, and I think that speaks highly of the overall quality of Season 8 Idol contestants, as well as the support that they enjoy. In Tribe 2, it literally came down to a single vote. In Tribe 2, the difference with two of the three was two votes!
Oh Idol voters, you like to keep us on our toes!
Leaving us this week, as the first victims of the 'of Doom are:
