LOL! I thought the same thing!! Wonder what Simon "would really have said" if he had to critique Dolly's performance! :)

As for Ramiele being voted out - about time, what took you all so long (can't vote here in Canada so we have to rely on our friends down south to do it for us). ;)

Agreed.
I was sort of fiddling around and flipping back and forth with Criminal Minds and then... Oh Dolly!!! That was pretty scary!!

I am still resisting the DVR. I think that I watch too much tv already and don't want to make it worse. :wink:
Personally, I am happy with the TV off entirely most of the time, but Mr. OttoCal is one of those who has to have it on at all times. On weekends it's a race to see who gets downstairs first controls our noise level for the day (TV or none or stereo), and if I win, it is a fun game to see how long he can hold out with no TV 8)

He won't stay in the same room when AI is on (or Amazing Race, or the Jane Austen series that has been on PBS this spring), so he will go find sports to watch on the other TV. That's another fun game we play. This one gets the bonus side game of 'who gets the cat' while watching the divisive TV shows. Apparently, the cat likes Jane Austen, but not American Idol.

but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,totally worn out, and proclaiming,

Not so much for me ... I though he rushed it ... and I'm spoiled to IZ ... I'm glad the song got that kind of exposure, though. :D

Honestly, if I was on Idol, I don't think I'd want to win. You're locked into that contract, and the only winner that's had really any success is Kelly Clarkson.

I was shocked to see him go, and so was he :o . I didn't care for Ryan saying, last year we sent no on home, and then gave him the ax :-?

There is always a shocking twist, I guess this was it
