Sweet sweet fantasy, baby

jlhLet me start by saying that there is only one thing about the elimination show that I actually like, and that's the group sing, because when they do the cracktastic medleys it's like the bestest 70's variety show throwback. So this singing just the one super sincere sappy song doesn't work for me. Thank god for Elliott, and Ryan talking about his mom (whom Ryan LOVED, my god, they had a whole THING season 5) and Elliott sounded fantastic. We love him.
Mariah I dunno, sounded like Mariah, whatever. Dress was a little short and kinda 1992, and like, not like she doesn't have the body for it, and not like she's ever really been classy, but jesus, start dressing like an adult. But don't lose the wind machine.
Ah, the week of 7 George Huff Memorial Elimination. If you're new to Idol, which David Archuleta clearly is not, check my entry last year on how this goes. And by the way, if you ever feel bitchy about the way an elimination goes down, please, blame NIGEL, not RYAN. Ryan's just the mouthpiece.
So of course David sits down like Bo. OF COURSE. Even small David knows that's the pimp move. And the crowd, watching D.Cook and Syesha trading places knows which way this particular breeze is blowing. (Personally, I could not believe that Jason was in the bottom three anyway.) Ryan gives him hints, but small David merely moves to the middle of the stage, and D.Cook sits next to him, and everyone is like, "fuck you, Nigel Lythgoe."
What was sad about that elimination was that Brooke was so sure she was going home, and I feel like she was thinking "well fuck, if I'd gone home last week at least I would have been able to go to the wedding!" And yeah, I was surprised it was KLC, and glad that I don't have to listen to her bullshit her way through some song from Phantom, or taunt Simon when he's already going to be in a bad mood. But for another year we get a solid top six, and the rest of the eliminations will be sad. Many cookies awarded this week!
I want to feel like the sing out to Simon was funny, but I just feel like it was a continuation of her ridiculous bullshit re him. All these girls are a little too concerned with gaining his approval, which really isn't the point. You can't think, what will Simon want, because with a few exceptions, what Simon wants is for you to not suck. That's pretty much it. And when you stop sucking, then he wants you to be good, and when you're good he wants you to be great. And he wants you to want to be great. So, just, let it go.
As for Top Chef tonight: Chef Ryan, omg, shut the FUCK UP. Like, enough already!
