American Idol 7 / Week 11 / Results
I find myself caring less and less each week. Which is sad.

There's a lot of fast-forwarding, as usual. Seacrest comments about the "rumors" about Paula, says they're not true, then lets us all know that she's part of the AI family. What? I had to go Google the gossip. And while I listened to the judges' comments, I've grown so accustomed to ignoring the crap that comes out of Paula's mouth, I didn't notice that she judged BOTH of Jason's performances after he'd only sung once.

Jason Castro is safe. So is Archuleta.

We get a preview of So You Think You Can Dance, which is awesome. That dude who goes by "Sex" is back again! Then Seacrest shows us Nigel Lythgoe, who has a cast on his arm. Hm!

David Cook is safe, of course. It'll probably be a David-on-David finale this year.

It's down to the girls as the bottom two. They get to go have a seat and rest for a while. We get performances from Natasha Bedinfield (I probably spelled that wrong, and don't care enough to look it up), who gets kissy on Archuleta. Then it's time for phone questions, which I FF through. The Ford commercial is all green hippy trippy crappy. Neil Diamond sings a new song and tells the contestants to never ever ever give up.

And finally, results time. A moment of tension, with Brooke already starting to cry, then she finds out she's going home. Which none of us picked. And they're going to make her sing even though she's crying her face off. The other Idols gather behind her, with Cook, Syesha and Jason in a semicircle, and Archuleta hiding behind them. What the hey?

That gives a point to me and [info]cambler, and now we have a three-way tie for first! An awesome level of tension going into the final four.

I missed the SYTYCD preview, but I'm going to be watching it anyway. The goal is to get my Mom hooked this summer, since she's a big DWTS fan.

When VH1's Best Week Ever blog used the term for one of the contestants having "pinched out a mouth loaf," it made me glad I have not been watching this season. But I might next year because I miss not participating in this game you got going here.

Yeah, this season is resonating with me about as much as the ratings indicate it should: not much.

Has the show jumped the shark? Or is this year's lineup just that... meh?
