Judge's Rule

Idolites -

Well, so long to Jasmine and Jorge. I'm currently working on entering all the pools onto the spreadsheet. I hope to get it all done at a reasonable hour.

...and now on to the show

• As they introduce the judges we see Kara. It looks like she's wearing a losing Project Runway challenge where they had to use Asian-style lampshades...and then Paula! Whoo ha!!
  
• I like the new rule! It now turns the mean-spirited decision shows into REALLY mean-spirited decision shows. "Jasmine, not only has America voted and said 'no thanks', but we'd like you to sing once more for the judges (who told you last night how bad this song was), because they may decide to save you" . "Judges?": "Um, no." Double rejection!
• So now instead of singing while they are sad, they get to sing while they're scared too.
• Why do they make them do the painful medleys? It's not enough for poor Scott to handle his blindness while singing alone? Do they have to put him in a choreographed dance routine too? Not only did poor Scott have to battle his vision, but his white genes too.
• I love rap music (yeah, that's what my generation calls it...not hip-hop), but I'm not too keen on Kayne West. Tight jeans + drooping rear waistband = Hip-Hopster.
• How brutal would it have been to have pulled Anoop on stage...make him wait for the commercial...make him wait for Kelly Clarkson...wait for another commercial...then sing Beat It again? I guess Jorge had the worse end of it, but somehow it would have seemed much worse for Anoop.
• I was 3 for 4 on my bottom 4 prediction. I realize I forgot to post my prediction on who would leave. My money was on Jasmine and Anoop, so 1 for 2.
  
• Looks like I found one more entry, so we're up to 103 for the moment. I'll know better after I load the spreadsheet, put out the standings and then get an angry e-mail from someone I missed.

Pool Boy out!
