Wednesday is for reality again

jlhBut only for two weeks, as Top Chef is almost done.
American Idol: I came home toward the end of the show and I am not that enthralled by Idol results shows in any case, so I really only saw the Danny-Tatiana thing live, but I watched the rest this morning.
Haha, Ryan's being such a troublemaker. I heart Ryan-Kara long time, and I'm wondering where the Kara/Paula slash is, please.
OMG I LOVE THE GROUP SINGS. It's the moment when the show suddenly becomes an awesome 70s variety show. (Remember how Cook totally embraced the cheesy group sings?) Alexis looks adorable in that hat.
Marly! How adorable are they? Seriously, there was suddenly all this het on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
idolslash because of them. I want them to be like, Marvin Gaye and Tammie Terrell, only without the whole brain tumor thing.
As usual the actual results are sort of tedious, but Tatiana's inability to deal was PRICELESS. It wasn't that she was crying—everyone cries, whatever, being kicked off of Idol is definitely worthy of tears—but that she wasn't having any of it, refused to be touched by anyone except Danny really, and stood there scowling during Danny's singout. (Speaking of which, his friend or whatever holding up the pic of Danny and his wife was just creepy.) It's just always all about Tatiana for her, which I find tiresome. I really hope that the judges don't bring her back for wild card, but you never know because she did sing well.
I think they will bring back Anoop, though. I certainly hope so.
Idol is on Wednesday-Thursday next week because Tuesday Obama is giving a State of the Union address. The week after, Idol is Tuesday-Wednesday, and then Thursday for the wild card/final results.
Top Chef: I'm a big fan of Jeff, so I'm super pleased that he was able to come back, if only briefly, because he was so upset when he was eliminated, and I think this revisit enabled him to feel better about how he did in the competition. And I think he should feel good, because he acquitted himself very well. I'm still voting for him for fan favorite, even though I'm pretty sure the prize will (and should) go to either Fabio or Carla.
I find it interesting that they didn't bring back Radhika or Arianne, and wonder why they drew their line at the top seven. Radhika certainly had a lot of wins, and did well through the competition. I wonder if it was just judges' discretion? When they did a similar thing on PR3 they simply brought back everyone who had won a challenge.
Anyway, I'm also thrilled that Carla won, and I'm glad that Stefan got a kick in the ass about his complacence, because when he's complacent he performs badly, and he's had two bad challenges in a row. It can only help him to be shaken up a bit, and to take Carla seriously as a challenger. For his sake I hope he doesn't do it again.
Also, there was a buzz on the blogs that Hosea wasn't in the top because he spent time during that week in NOLA on the blogs defending his behavior with Leah (that was the episode airing at the time). Clearly that was an erroneous conclusion. I'm not all that interested in Hosea because as Arianne said, he's a wimp.
Next week will be very exciting!
