This is a two-hour results show. The recommended survival procedure is to find a very thick hardcover and throw it through your TV.

Two hours. E-freaking-gad.

Expect Brett & Rachel (the Worster picks) to get their news towards the very end of the show -- and if they're paired in a 'one goes on, one goes home' bit, they will be matched with The Most Obvious Advancer Ever.

Sorry, Ryan, but forty million votes over two nights represents a drop in interest.

Of the 14 left they will decide who will sing for a spot, so not all 14 performing next week.

J. says it will be a tough night for them.
S. Guys vs Girls and he won't go there when Ryan asks, R and J agree it was even.

We have a couch to fill, so lets go to break to postpone doing anything newsworthy for several more minutes.

Round 1, no surprise. Scotty's got a niche and base that he can easily call his own, although it's a minority. The real test is whether he can capture others' fan bases when they drop. Robbie was destined not to make it.

Clint, Jordan, Jovany

Clint is trying to have a heart attack on stage, so that means slow down the results to prolong it as much as possible.

Clint and Jordan you have not made it into America's Top Ten. Off the the stools with you.

Jovany has not made it into the top 10 either.

Round 2, no surprise either. The suspense will come later with a solo guy still on one stool. Clint's mere appearance turns off too many people, regardless of his singing talent. Which Jordan never had. Jovany is the only guy in this trio worthy of another shot.
"RE: Dim the lights. Only 20 minutes in...results 1"

Clint's appearance would improve 100% with the addition of a human personality. (Lauren A. is the female equivalent.)

Wait a minute. Five males up, four down? That leaves four seats for seven -- just about a fifty-fifty flip. How are they trying to pace this thing? Are they trying to pace it at all? Is it possible we're heading for overtime? And could Ryan be any more full of himself?

Round 4, no surprise. Probably the two of the bottom five, if not bottom three, from last night, on the other end of the spectrum of the two who made it. We're left with a choice of three ladies out the middle, which could go a lot of ways.

Round 7, finally a mild surprise. With three of the better ladies in the middle of the pack up, only one is able to go in. Any of the three *could* go in.

Naima first out. She's definitely worthy of another go at it.
Thia is in. (Yay!)
Lauren also is worthy of another shot, I think.

As predicted: Brett at the end of an hour, in a one-in one-gone situation, matched against someone who was guaranteed to be advancing.

Who's the mortal lock among the remaining females? Because that's who Rachel will be standing next to. (I'm surprised they didn't match her against Lauren A, but their darling may not have wanted to be that close.)

So they sing to get into the wild card competition then sing to get into the top 12.

Hey, he sang his heart out in this performance. You can tell he really wants it. No, it wasn't flawless, but still, with the switch ups and the contrasts between loud scream-my-heart-out notes and gentle, soft, almost spoken words, he showed his talent range very well. I think, depending on how the other four do, he could be worthy of one of the two remaining spots.

Who feels like being merciful enough to not review that?

How many words could you make out?

I'm guessing Naima and one of Jovany or Stefano (either of whom I'd be content with, although I think Stefano was slightly better). If they don't pick Naima, I'm going to clobber them.

Randy: Ashton
Jennifer: Two more. Top 13
Stephano goes through.
Steve: Naima you are in.

Ashton?!?!?! WTF! Clearly my "sealed her fate" was in the wrong direction.

Never under estimate the power of One Oscar minus the Truth.

eta: Jennifer Hudson was a wild card brought back by Simon. Didn't like her then, don't like it now.

Yeah, the 'total package' thing at the show level means 'diversity as a group'. Apparently, that also includes range of talent.

I about had a panic attack. We only found out after they picked Ashthon that they would pick 2 more, not just one. Which left Naima and the two better guys and Stefano gets the nod. I would have picked Jovany over Ashthon, but I won't quibble too much.

I've got a spot on my couch for her, too, after that last performance of hers. Like, wow.

Fell in love with Steven all over again for picking Naima. I'm going to real vote alot this season.

Sad that Rachel didn't get a shot. She deserved it more than the other two.

And the look on her face showed that she knew she had zero chance of making it. She looked like she would gladly kill Ryan, all 3 judges, all the other contestants, and maybe 1/2 the audience as well.

It would have been a pity to stop her before she'd gotten to Ryan.

I know I don't have the power to edit their predetermined storyline. I am still going to spend next Wednesday night voting for Naima until my fingers bleed.

So. Sick. Of. Their. Crap.

looking forward to the season with the Hostess Goddess!
