That means you, spoil-me-nots.

And I'll be discreet even here.

I was really surprised. I think the judges were to, eh? Demographics are really stating to play a part, I suppose, in order for this person to go.

[soleft]

1. who'd think

that a 29 year old would be a victim of ageism.

[darkstar]

4. Perhaps

The demographics I was thinking of were how two folks in particular had been splitting a certain segment of the vote cause they's working the same genre niche....

But yeah, this could just mean that I'm ancient.

:hi:

[femmocrat]

2. I was shocked.

There were 3 others who I thought would be voted off before this one.

Why one of them is still there is beyond explanation.

[darkstar]

6. I wonder if we agree on that person who's overstayed....

I've got two in mind, but one I'm really surprised is still around.

:hi:

[Orangepeel]

3. Seacrest was mean about it.

"Last year, we didn't send anybody off." Long Pause. "But not this year! See ya!"

[femmocrat]

8. That was low, IMO.

Got the contestant's hopes up only to dash them. :grr:

[Sanity Claws]

5. Spoil me please.

I didn't watch so could you tell me who was booted off?

11. see post 10

[bigwillq]

7. So who went?

9. I missed it... who went? Not Kristy...29? --

was it Carly?

[begin_within]

10. spoiler ->

below ...






















Michael Johns (the Australian guy) left.

13. awww,,,that was wrong !!

Kristy needs to go. Thanks, bob_weaver :hi:

[begin_within]

15. I agree... Kristy is the least interesting to me of the remaining ones

She did prove in the last couple of weeks that she really can sing, but I still think some of the other contestants are better than her. I was sorry to see Michael go, he was fun and brought a hard rock sensibility which that show is usually lacking in.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. I liked him, too. The rockers do not fare well on this show.

I think the guys have more talent this time out. Carly, for some unknown reason gets on my nerves and Kristy needs to be on the Country version of Idol. Brooke is not the most talented and does not have the range of Carly but, I like her the best of the girls. I can not make up mind who is my favorite guy. This is my first season to really watch ...

19. I thought Bo Bice was far superior to Carrie Underwood on Season 4,

and the only time I have ever picked up the phone and voted was for Bo Bice. He was the first rocker to make it very far, and he sort of paved the way for Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks, David Cook and Michael Johns. I'm pretty confident that either David Cook or David Archuleta will win this year. But Simon seems to really love Kristi Lee Cook, so maybe it will be a Cook vs. Cook final.

[BlueJazz]

14. Oh..Brother and Brook is still there.......Christ... unbelievable....

The Dude sang pretty good....oh well...

[begin_within]

16. Yeah, I enjoyed him.

He brought a rock sensibility that is often lacking at that show. I like Brooke OK, but I think she is limited to Joni Mitchell/Carole King/Karla Bonoff type stuff, not a wide range. I keep hoping Kristy would leave, but Simon Cowell likes her a lot.

[MonkeyFunk]

18. Ugh

that's so lame.

He's a lot better than a few of the others. Kristy, Syesha... they should be gone already. And I can't stand that muppet Archuleta.

And Ryan was just cruel to give him a second of hope by mentioning that last year they didn't eliminate anyone at this point.
