Reaction - Spoiler alert!

Okay my fellow Idol watchers - I hear your call. You are baffled by tonight's elimination and I understand your pain. First to the bottom three -- I am pained to see that Ramjaya (Ramiele who is probably best friends with last year's most hated Idol Sanjaya and probably cried like that little girl when he was eliminated) was not in the bottom three. But, I totally agreed that Kristy Lee Cook and Syesha should have been there. I admit to having muted or forwarded parts of both of their re-do's. Both were terrible song choices and arrangements. And yes, David was cheesy, but should he have been the one to go? Not yet I say. Here is my theory -- votes were cast for the best of the bunch and then sympathy votes were split between Kristy, aww Simon but you told her to do country but you didn't tell her to suck at it and Syesha because she went first and there are a lot of Earth Wind and Fire lovers?!? and Ramjaya because she pouted a lot and poor David was left with nothing.

Here is the good news, however, NONE of these people can last for long and so whether the stripper returns to his pole now or in a few weeks, he would have been eliminated anyway. The order doesn't really matter as long as the worst don't win.

Two old Idol's returned tonight -- Kat McPhee who has lost her record deal but is still being managed by Idol creators 19 and Ruben Studdard (via going home song) who has also been dropped by his record label but is still being managed by 19. Note to 19 - you can't make them popular -- MOVE ON. Kat sang a terrible rendition of a Beatles song (here is my advice, stay home with your new husband) and I don't think I will be able to bear Ruben's closing song every week. Carrie has a great song on her album they could have used -- stick with the Idol's everyone loves!

And to all those who are shocked by tonight -- did you vote???????????

I smell conspiracy - David was targeted by a corporate giant. A big stinky fix I smell. The same media heat that though putting Jim Carey on the show in an elephant suit would draw us to a theater this weekend to see Horton Hears a Who -- also thought @#$()# if I have someone on the show that could potentially cause another hooplah ala Paula and whoosiewhatisie -- best kick him off now!!!!!

So much for voting....that's all i've gots to say.
