American Idol: Who's Staying, Who's Out and Who's On The Way

Two have been eliminated so far from American Idol. Jorge the weird eye guy and Jasmine Murray. Both correct predictions on my part. Boy, am I getting good at this! I should be an AI producer. I'll make the show much more interesting. We can include Japanese game show styled games and make them dodge eggs while running on a treadmill while singing. Naked. Now that's a show I'll watch.

As it turns out, the big secret Ryan was talking about turns out to be some kind of 'Judge's Save'. The judges can choose to save a person if he or she as been eliminated, but they can only use it once in the entire competition. The whole point of them doing this even though the voting is not real is to make the eliminated people still try their darnest even though their fates have already been sealed. Ryan will go 'And now, Jasmine will try to convince the judges to keep her' or something like that. The sad thing is, the judges probably already know who's gonna be in the final 4. I'm guessing something 'totally unexpected' will happen. Probably Danny will be voted off (I wish) and they'll save him and he'll go far and they'll be all "Thank god we included that rule! O the genius of me!"

Needless to say, the save wasn't wasted on Jorge and Jasmine. Now, the judges are the one who has to tell them if they've decided to save them. It's like it's the judges' fault now for not saving them. At least now the contestants have a chance to give the 'fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou' look to the judges. In the past, the judges can just pretend that it's the voting that kicked the contestants out, and they can all give the 'we wish we could save you but we can't' look. Ha! Try doing that now, Simon!

And the checkboard:

How I'm itching to put the sign on that smug face of Gokey...
