Very strange business tonight. Jason Castro, David Archuleta and David Cook are declared safe. Syeshsa Mercado and Brooke White are called out to center stage, but Ryan never refers to them as the Bottom 2.

- Tonight’s group song is so bad… Actually, it is just really bad. Nice pointy pose at the end, however.
- Constantine Maroulis and Gina Glocksen are in the audience. Constantine stares into the camera. Ace Young is sitting nearby, but Ryan breezes right past him. Carrie Underwood is featured on this week’s Idol Gives Back postage stamp.
- Paula Abdul’s gaffe last night is touched upon briefly. Ryan Seacrest said that he read what people were saying about her online this morning and that it was all untrue. He said that she’s part of the family and they all love her. Jason Castro was never mentioned.
- However, Jason Castro is quickly declared safe first. I suppose that is meant to be an “apology” of sorts. David Archuleta is declared safe next.
- David Cook is declared safe. Brooke White and Syesha Mercado are left behind.
- Natasha Bedingfield — Zzzzzz. She heads to the couches to meet David Archuleta. He has said that he’d really like to duet with her.
- Ford Commercial, “Catch the Wind” Donovan!
- Neil Diamond sang a gorgeous song called “Pretty Amazing Grace” from his new album.
- Brooke White is eliminated, standing on stage with Syesha Mercado. She performs her singout, choking through tears. I’ve never seen a contestant that broken up while performing a sing out…
ETA: A big shout-out and thanks to DJ Slim for introducing me to my new web host. Thanks to DJ, y’all can get into the site tonight…
I hope Jason kicks ass next week too! It was also nice to see Jason answer give a well-thought, calm answer to Ryan’s question last night. He seemed calm, sweet, and, coherent. You can’t turn a sober kid to a stoner when he’s not one. However, the editors sure do a great job turning a sober kid into a (probably ADD kid–who always magically seems to never have blood-shot eyes) stoner with a lot of editing and no starbucks. Gotta love Nigel. Of course, thier family gives them a lot of practice.
If Ryan is reading these “blogs” on the Internet then he is reading places like VFTW and he knows who they are supporting next. He knows who is popular and whose not it’s just odd to me the whole thing. I don’t know. Maybe they are sick of Jeff Archuleta too. I know I would be.
I think after Tuesday they didn’t want any more drama on Wednesday. I buy that Brooke needed Syesha next to her to hold her hand. The guys would just stand there and not help at all. So Syesha (who wasn’t in the bottom 2) ended up there.
But who knows maybe they want a shocking boot for F4. Although a Top 3 with Cook, Syesha and Jason would be kind of weird.
I’m still believing for an all male top 3. That would be the best scenario.
That’s a good point too. But, I think I need to see some David A depimping from the judges to believe that Nigel wants to cast him aside.
I actually also have no problem believing that Syesha was in the bottom 2, whether or not Ryan declared it as such or not. I don’t read DI – because in the age of texting – I just can’t believe busy signals are the way to tell anything anymore. And, I find Syesha to be the most uninteresting character they’ve had on this show in several seasons. So, while I believe that Simon’s harshness to her at the end of the show, along with the pimp spot was definitely enough for her to edge out Brooke – in no way could I be convinced she was first in the voting.
Most people that I know that are “stoners” don’t have bloodshot eyes (visine) and don’t act like airheads, either. In fact, they are pretty normal people w/ everyday careers. I hate that Jason is portrayed as a “stoner” regardless. What, someone acts a bit goofy and has long hair? Well, they most definetely are smoking pot then…ridiculous.
Or if they really want someone gone, they will continue to praise him/her, and, lull their fanbase into a state of complacency, so, they don’t feel the need to vote as much. I truly believe that’s what happened to Daughtry in season 5. Paula said, “see you in the finals, Chris.” He left the following week because his fans thought it was in the bag.
Who knows which way they are playing their dirty little tricks? I’d love to be a fly on the wall during their meetings.
Sure, but the people most likely to have a knee-jerk reaction to Jason cause of silly editing like that…probably don’t know a lot of people who smoke pot.
What I was typing was clearly a joke.
It was also meant to be taken as such. We all know Jason isn’t a stoner and if he is I sure as hell don’t care..AI does and it’s hilarious.
You know, I think the fire has gone out of Cook too since MJ left. Or maybe he’s just fatigued like the rest of them. I believe they all just want to get this over with.
princessmela – I totally know you were joking! My post was meant to be facetious as well (except for me knowing too many potheads) :lol_ee:
Yep. Interestingly, on IDF yesterday, there was a Dial Idol vs Zabaseach discussion, and JoesPlace (the reputable AI spoiler source) posted this: “Dialidol means more that Zaba. Also AI hit DI with a notice to have the site shut down last week. DI had their lawyers working on it all last week. They wouldnt go through the trouble if it wasnt on point.”
Makes you wonder.
I’ve dated too many potheads and none of them looked like Jason ( I kind of wished they did). Dial Idol has not been on point this year. At least if it has been on point, they HAVE not been voting off the right person.
I want to have an all male top and see if the ding dongs make them all dance around the stage with each other
I cracked up at your post!
Jasonites…..read this please….

OMG. Bye Jason
Sorry, I don’t believe it about Jason.
MJ, it’s been posted in the headlines thread, too. I don’t know if you want to condense to discussion that’s sure to follow. LOL.
I just opened a new thread out front. In order to contain the tsunami.
Here’s a thought. Perhaps they DIDN’T announce him as a bottom 2 dweller because they DIDN’T want to rile up a fanbase (which, as someone else said, has people dropping like flies) because they no longer want him to win.
Honestly, he has so little buzz and momentum, I don’t think it would really matter too much if he hit bottom 2. Most people I talk to just have no interest in him whatsoever.
Methinks Spense is right. Want him in the finale, but don’t want the voting to seem one sided, so how to handle this? Pimping of said contestant, throwing other contestants under the bus. ArchuD2 will get the pimp spot and multiple tonguebaths next week. Just watch.
Oh and I believe that Simon kinda started the depimping a bit this week – calling his first performance “amateurish” (I would have preferred “bad karaoke”, but whatever.).
I think a huge bulk of Brooke’s votes will, IN FACT, go to Archie. One of her appeal is that she’s this good, clean, moral, never-saw-an-R-rated movie nanny and some of those people will go to Archie because he’s probably the most appealing to the Bible belt/conservative mid-west people, moreso than any other contestant.
I’m bible belt/midwest/christian, and mine goes to DC.
