I still kind of feel like if it came down to Shannon and Jeremy or Shannon and Deandre they would pick the dude. I think if Shannon is at the bottom, she'll definitely go home.

It's not as if Randy even tries to make sense most of the time, but he's really been "off" these last two weeks. Stumbling over words, referring to the contestants by the wrong names (or referring to the wrong contestants all together, whichever he actually did) saying entirely wrong words and having to correct…

I was a little put off right from the start, watching the judges fawn over Joshua for basically doing exactly what Reed Grimm would have done with the song. I *like* Joshua. A lot. He was one of my favorites last night and his and Phillip's were the only Stevie songs covered that are favorites of mine so points for…

Yeah, I was a little surprised to come here and see Claire rave about how much better the girls were. There were a couple of girls who were better than the guys and it's not like the guys were the greatest things ever to grace the Idol stage but most of these performances were kind of terrible. Brielle needs to be…

Totally agree on all of the above. The girls night out/Charming portion was the only weak part of the episode. Everything else was pretty great, at least when held up against most episodes of this show. I enjoyed the fairyback and had no real problem seeing that Belle was connecting with Rumplestiltskin before the…

Very little about this episode bothered me and since I'm usually on the same page as most of the commenters and the reviewer I was a little surprised that it wasn't a little better received. I didn't have any problem with the idea that Rumplestiltskin would take Evil Queen's word for it because he actually *did* love…

Also, I followed the link (so, mission accomplished in getting Elaine Carroll a hit, original poster) and the two impressions are nothing alike. Maybe there's more I'm not seeing, but those gifs and the couple of videos I clicked on aren't even close to the MK they had Zooey do last night. So, no…

I liked her MK, too. Although about halfway through I realized that if they had wanted to go much darker she could have just as easily been doing Misha Barton.

Cage has only hosted once? Really? Wow. It's definitely time for the return of Tiny Elvis.

Nick Chinlund is on next week, which automatically makes me assume I'll like it even if it sucks.

I think the girl who fell off the stage is being treated like a big deal because she was clearly about to faint when she fell off. She was talking, something really weird was going on with her eyes, got all wobbly and she just stumbled right off. When people have fallen off the stage on other competition shows (at…

That's possible. I'm 100% spoiler free on this show these days, mostly due to lack of giving a shit, so I didn't know we were getting a stunt episode or that Chase had anything to do with anything. It was a good episode for me.

If you were judging this episode (and season) against the earlier years then it's a C or a D, but if you were to judge it against last season it's practically an A+. I've actually been *watching* episodes this season instead of just having it on while doing other things. It's still obviously flawed in many, many ways…

They never sent Hurley to jail. They were just trying to get money back for their client and wound up helping him get away in the end when it turned out that he wasn't a terrible human being, he'd just done a bad thing. And I don't really think the show established that Hurley is nicer than he was when we first met…

My favorite Kane moment of the entire ep was the joy he got out of the fact that Hardison was being chased by guard dogs.

I usually don't mind them because even though they're obvious they at least throw in a couple of new things and they're usually entertaining in some way. The one in this ep was a little confusing, though. Aside from the fact that what was going on was more obvious than usual, it seems like they wasted a lot of time…

I read an interview with Sophie and she said they all did one, it was just cut. She indicated that Albert was never even in it and Coach pretty much crashed and burned beyond, I guess, what we saw so she felt pretty good going into the final vote. The only thing I don't get is that she seemed to think that if Coach…

I wonder if the layout of the area they were shooting in and the space they had access to made it difficult to shoot that segment. Either way, good riddance to it.

Nope, no joke. Although his wife evidently beat him too, which doesn't make it better of course, it just makes things even more depressing. There's a blog comment floating around that the wife wrote a couple of years ago (it's been deleted but she backed it up on twitter, iirc) that details just how messed up they…

The first time I've ever really liked Coach was during that final moment in tribal where he admitted that he fucked up. He looked and sounded incredibly vulnerable and it was interesting the way Sophie and Albert, both sounding a little defeated, piped up and inserted themselves into it. It's one of the few times that…
