Pretty sure it was a joke referencing the previous week where Ryan told the world that Julianne was into Phillip.

I liked that season best too. It was just nonstop strange and entertaining. There were so many tears and so many botched lyrics and Seacrest nearly lost his mind trying to get those nerds to stand on their mark or answer straight forward questions. Dealing with Brooke and Carly and Castro was like trying to herd cats.

The issue of buying into bizarre collage based conspiracy theories aside: she got the boot order wrong the first time and arbitrarily changed the "rules" of the theory to make it work. So, you know, even if it wasn't a stretch to begin with it is now. I like my conspiracy theories a bit more straight forward or at

Monday was the first time I ever really saw Jermaine having a good time on the show, so that might be what you were seeing. He wasn't my favorite, but there was nothing wrong with him at any point in the game. He just seemed to be a little tightly wound to me. He never seemed like he was enjoying himself and it was

I feel the same way about Team Blake's triumph. I was legitimately shocked because even with all of the Xtina/Adam bullshit I still thought one of their guys would be top two, possibly winning. That'll teach me to dismiss the nice guys, treat this show like the generally sexist/vaguely racist Idol and pay so much

I spoke with, like, serious authority, didn't I??? Like I *totally* knew what I was talking about! Actually, I just learned of it while searching twitter last night to see wtf Joel Osteen and his grifter wife were doing in the audience and came across random tweets from Idina Menzell that sort of led me backwards

You do know that Chris Mann has a whole legion of celebrities in his corner, right? Pimping him all over twitter and elsewhere? And that it's been going on since before Xtina lost her shit over Justin doing the same thing? Dude's got a ton of celebrity friends promoting him, the other three judges just aren't pointing

That's part of why I'm pulling for Team Ceelo. It wouldn't be the end of the world if Tony won but I feel like another win would make Adam a bit insufferable or, at least, kill the morale of the other three. I'm all for making Xtina even crazier than she is, but I'd like to think that if all four return next year that

When she was in her bizarro Victoria's Secret getup the other week *all* I could see was Anna Faris.

Exactly. She gives perfectly valid criticism and then she just goes off on a BS rant about Justin Timberlake and MMC and how we all need to ignore that blahblahblah. Never mind that that was probably the first time most of the audience knew that JT was tweeting about Tony in the first place. She drew attention to it

I think that's why Tony and Adam are brilliant trolls. The intent of the song was *clearly* to get under Xtina's skin while still being able to maintain plausible deniability via the rearrangement of the song. Xtina's problem this entire time, ignoring the weird grudge she has against Tony (and Adam and Justin

When Javier was on last week they mentioned that he'd be opening for M5 this summer. I've also seen Cee Lo and Vicci on things (and I guess they recorded that song they sang last week?) so I think they still work together. I feel like Blake and Cee lo are probably the most likely to stick with their proteges with Adam

I don't know how the votes are going these days (Team Xtina is a shouty bunch with no time to worry about irony or hypocrisy so they're probably hardcore voting for Chris to balance out Tony) but I firmly believe that if Xtina had just kept it together after that boring performance of "In Your Eyes" we might not even

I'm less bothered by that, really. I mean, by the time Kris Allen or Dia Frampton did that basic arrangment a million kids on YT had already done it. I'm sure someone was the first and it's a nice arrangement and they deserve credit but it's been so done that I don't think that even if The Voice had been willing to

I didn't spend any time in IPS fandom so I was a little surprised to come here and see that so many people claim to have never seen the Marshall/Mary subtext. Especially since a couple of times it was just straight text. Even if it wasn't a romance, Marshall and Mary were basically one. They even included one of those

He might actually be a bigger douche than her. She's insane but in the brief times she was without him on Big Brother she was almost likeable. At the very least, she was far more stable. They had an ex-girlfriend of his on the show back in their first season to talk about what a dbag he was and if even a portion of

I think you answered your own question by pointing out where you were reading this. That's not a place where thoughts are fully formed or well expressed. About anything. Ever.

Remember the weird facebook scandal where Gokey's relatives and supporters were doing some hardcore homophobic gay bashing crazy talk after having met Adam after one of the shows? I just like to think about that every once in awhile when I forget why I couldn't stand Gokey. So, yeah, it always seemed pretty likely

They gave Idol the permanent two hour block when they canceled Jaime Pressly's sitcom. And having watched that show one and a half times, I will gladly accept a boring, expanded, padded Idol performance show in exchange for the favor of Fox removing it from the airwaves.

Jessica sounded terrible. I kind of assumed that the, while the save itself was planned in advance, it's possible that the stage rush wasn't until Nigel heard that she sounded like crap and wanted to stop her before it made their save seem a little questionable. If I were the producer that's the first thing I'd think
