Gee, I (am MANY others) sure are missin' you ladies this season. WHAT I would give to have your take on Mandisa being voted off.
(RIDICULOUS!!! IMHO)
Ah well, hope you both are doing alright.

The initial feeling/trepidation you mention is called "Jumping the Shark," in reference to the infamous Happy Days episode where Fonzy jumps the shark tank, Evil Kneivel style with his bike. There's a site that talks about all various shows and let's people vote on when they think the show "jumped the shark" - i.e., crossed over and started going downhill. I don't know if AI has jumped the shark yet or not. I think we'll know it when we see it.

BTW - I hope you keep writing because it's been a while since your last post and I like the detailed discussion.

Also, I posted a link to your site on my site, IdolNotes!. . Here: http://idolnotes.com/modules/weblinks/viewcat.php?cid=5

I thought I was the only person on the planet to notice Patrick's two...ahem..."unusual" best friends because all the bloggs are ignoring them. Come on people - those two were just begging to be noticed! Look at all the effort and plastic surgery the blonde one went thru to be noticed - I wasn't sure if she/he was trying to be alluring or just frightened with that "deer caught in headlights" look into the camera. She/he must be devastated not to have been the talk of the town the next day. Hope they're back this week...

I think they need to bring back the wild card show. Have the public voted off 2 at a time like now until we have 4 each. Then let Randy, Paula and Simon pick 1 male and 1 female each for a Wild Card show. The low male and female from that show, goes home, the other 4 make it to the final 12.

I say this because there is no way Patrick should not have made the final 12. Going 1st and 1 bad song choice should not ruin your career. Remember Clay was voted off and came back on a wild card show.

Sandie -- Speaking of Elliott -- check this out: Seems he was separated at birth from a character on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood! I kid you not -- see for yourself:

I think people should start a campaign to get him to sing "It's a Good Feeling to Know You're Alive."

O.k. the 2nd great moment was when Simon told that freaky Gedeon character that his smile was scary, creepy or whatever it was it was just flat out howling F-U-N-N-Y.

Hell yeah and then he smiled again, only this time even more creepier. I mean, jeez, at some point it's not just positive energy and shit any more. It's just weird.

I think he's even stranger than the fat dude who sang Cobacabana and that guy looks like a registered sex offender.
