TAR, Idol, Etc.Posted by Bryan
As I check in online, I find myself mildly surprised by the Idol dismissal of Beyonce Lite Nadia.
Despite Scott's confessed knock-out performance, and Anthony Fedorov singing the past few weeks like he's actually Sergei, and even my finalist co-favorite Bobice DaRocker (along with Pat Benatar's doppleganger Carrie Underwood) recently faltering, I expected Nadia to be around a bit longer.
Though I can't understand how someone so skinny has a double chin, Constantine hit a pitchy smash out of the park with his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's not that it was fabulous, but he's shown more range and eclecticity* than Bobice.
So, my prediction for the rest of the hit list is...
- Scott Savol
- Anthony Fedorov
- Anwar Robinson
- Bo Bice
- Vonzell Solomon
- Constanine Maroulis
- Carrie Underwood
Meanwhile, on TAR, Rob and Amber continue to prove they are the team to beat by fooling convincing Ron & "I'm My Own Ms. America" Kelly into not yielding them. Rob is Svengali incarnate.
My eldest child asked me if Lynn and Alex were brothers. "No, they're just good friends," I answered, saving an important discussion for another day. Baffled that Romber didn't yield them, the boys demonstrated that they don't suffer from a deflated sense of self-importance.
In this week's wheat-from-the-chaff two parter, we get a hint that the final three will be (barring an unexpected turn of events that will inevitably occur), Romber, Ronelly, and Joychenna. Interestingly, I learned this week that both Uchenna and Meredith are the men in their respective teams. I feel a little silly about that now.
And no offense to Meredith and Gretchen, but the Maitre dat Darwin's Bistro called, and he's been holding your table for four episodes now, it's time to be seated.
We'll see if we get to the hotel in time for Survivor or the Apprentice (I doubt it unless we catch some flux capacitor space/time continuum), but regardless of what happens, it can't match the most bizarre news just shared that Ms. Britney Federline is going to give birth to her baby on live TV as part of her new reality program.
Okay, I made that up. What's sad, though, is that you had no problem whatsoever believing it to be true, did you?
*I'll be adding this to my mactionary soon, thanks for asking.
