Took Them Long Enough

for a shocker elimination. If you think that the predictable elimination of the best and most loved contestant on this damn show is shocking.

While I always thought that Melinda was DA BOMB of a contestant - head and shoulders above the pack, I never viewed her as marketable. And apparently neither did the Nigels. If you think it was actually the audience votes that eliminated her and not a couple of scared pasty brits who pulled the plug for fear of another Idol Winner Has-Been (ahem Ruben, Fantasia, Taylor I'm talking to you) then I have some lovely Louisiana Gulf Coast beach-front property to show you.

So that leaves the Human Beat Boxin' Entertainer and the soon to be Mouseketeer. Oh joy. There is a reason the rumor mill has the Nigels bringing the PSRG (Pocket Sized Rock God - Chris Daughtry to those of you living under a rock for the past few months) onto the show for the Finale....No not for my sheer amusement - ratings people, ratings.

And Baracudda Boy - I guess I can't call you that anymore. That voice, that hair, THOSE TEETH! Welcome back New and Improved (though a little creepy) Elliot, you proved that you are the real deal. Hell, if they couldn't have given me Daughtry last year they could have at least given us the voice. Dayum, when they are wrong, they are W-R-O-N-G.

And with that, one more week left my lil leapshin until we part ways. Alas, parting is such sweet sorrow...
