A bit of AI behind the scenes trivia for you, Paul (let's see just how hooked you are).
Last week, at the end of one of the shows, when the judges came into the room to give the ax to some of the contestants, Simon was missing. Why?

Bo was awesome. Amy and I agree we like Bo and Anwar the best. I thought for the most part that the judges were right on, rightfully critical and rightfully giving praise where it was due.
I'm rooting for Scott Savol too though. He's the local boy for me. I grew up in Cleveland Heights; he grew up in Shaker Heights, 10 minutes away from me, and he's only a year or two younger than me.

You're right on, Paul. Bo and Anwar. Top of the food chain.
BTW, you never answered my trivia question...

According to an on camera interview with Paula on one of those tabloid news programs, Simon had to hop on a plane to go back to GB. Apparently, he waited until the last minute before his visa ran out and had to get back to the Kingdom Of UK to renew it.
It was actually Paula on camera giving the explanation, so I tend to believe it.
(But I like your guess better, Paul!!)

I have to admit - none of the female tslents grabbed me tonight. Celena was close, but nothing gripping.

Earlier today I was listening to a radio talk show where callers were saying that the elimination process this year at AI is very cruel. They referred to how Ryan would tell an entire row of contestants that they were "safe", only to bring them back on stage and give one of them the axe.
Personally, I disagree. This is a reality show. And reality is (sometimes) harsh. Not to mention that it makes for great TV. It's not like he hit a lever that opened a trap door under them on stage. Yet some contend that they were inordinately cruel.
Heh. What should they have done instead? Should they have brought Dr. Phil on to gently explain that their claim to fame in life would be delayed for a bit? Should they have coddled the losers a bit more? Hey, show biz is cruel and abrupt. This is life.
The one thing that strikes me as a bit cruel is asking the loser to sing out the segment - seconds after being told that America voted them off. Kinda like asking someone to tapdance on their own scaffold.

I'm having a hard time really getting into any of the women too. Aloha really impressed me though (her strutting looked awkward, but she has a very rich voice and she's very entertaining).
Mikalah reminds me a lot of a girl I once dated with whom I've remained very good friends, her teenage twin. So I'm very slightly biased toward her. But I wasn't blown away by her performance this time.
AI isn't a reality show, IMHO. It's a really intricate version of Star Search, just a talent competition. What they do for the sake of the camera is up to them, as far as I'm concerned. And the whole elminiation process did involve Ryan being a ****head. But, it's good TV (I guess), and that's the biz, so they may as well learn it now.

I've never been able to get into American Idol actually. I really don't watch TV a whole lot in general though. My life goes like this;
Out with Friends
Computer
The only time I make it to the TV is when friends are over, or when I'm over their place and I'm watching it there.

AI is the only program I watch regularly. I can't say why, I just like it 
Well, that and football, which Amy and I both love (yet another reason to love her ) |

Personally, if Carrie Underwood doesn't win this thing, the whole process is flawed. She is just spectacular.
I just can't understand what the heck that Anthony guy is still doing in there. He belongs in a church choir. No more, no less. But certainly not in a pop star competition.
Sorry, Paul, but Scott is pretty weak. He just isn't cutting it. Not at this level of competition, anyways.
And Constantine is a bit of a disappointment lately. So is Bo. This guy Bo started off so well, and he seems to be fizzling out.
Then again, what the hell do I know?
