Shocker? Not Really...We'll Miss You Allison!

Idolites –

When you get down to just four, it’s hard to say that any elimination is a “shocker”. So when Allison was sent packing last night, it was just my own misery that paralyzed me from writing this until my bus ride today.

I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised. Kris, Danny & Adam have consistently been the top vote getters all season, while Allison continually found herself in the bottom. It’s just sad so see her go…particularly since it means Presley’s pool is now out of contention to win it all.

On the show…

Paula sounded much like Jamie Foxx with her digitized voice. I have to give her props on how well she was moving around the stage, though. Looks like her medical issues are behind her.

No Doubt…pretty cool. Was it just me or did Gwen Stefani look a bit (as Simon would tell Danny) clumsy running around stage? I thought she was going to fall on a few of those jumps. Paula actually seemed in better shape, as Gwen was sounding out of breath by the end.

I also find it funny how all the contestants from season’s past that were eliminated way too early are coming back to perform on the Idol stage. Daughtry was the latest to tell America, “Look, you got it way wrong”.

And the pool…

For however much I find it perplexing that Kris is still alive, I have to give props to all of you Idolites that saw it coming. That being said, it’s gonna be a Danny vs. Adam final, which is the best thing for the show anyway. No matter what you think of Danny (who earned points from his humility over his “scream”), he has the ability to pull off a really moving performance way more than Kris.

Kim Skorupa has extended her lead to six points over Richard Venneri and Daryl Bakke. Richard is now rooting harder than ever for Adam to win, because no matter who goes out next week, Richard wins the pool if Adam wins it all.

Should Danny win, it would be either Kim or Isabel DeVera winning it all. (NOTE: Isabel was the only one to pick the Top 4…my mistake on last week’s recap…great job Isabel!!)

Should Kris shock the world and take it all, it will be either Kathy Hunter or Jen Davies winning the pool.

Richard would be the first guy to win it, so GO ADAM AND DICKY V!!!!!

I’m still waiting on several of you to pay your pool fees. So, please don’t make me get all serious on you and get them mailed to me ASAP. If your name is in red on the standings page, you still owe.

Until next week, Pool Boy out!

  1. Aaron...I've got to say something here...about the Paula Gwen thing. If paula was actually singing and dancing like Gwen was, I'd understand. But its much easier to dance around on stage and lip sync. Thats my fight for Gwen as to why she was out of breath. She has two kids too. Paula = 0. Just sayin'

  2. I hear ya Tiff! Trust me, I like Gwen. She just seemed a bit out of shape...as she should.

    Paula is just a goof. Her digitized lip-syncing was just funny to me. I was impressed that she was moving so well given all of her medical issues of the past few years.

    Gwen will be fine.
