American Idol...bad save

They used the save! What a waste. I would have held off until next week; next week is the critical week. They had the right bottom 3 this week, losing any one of them would not have hurt the competition. Next week the bottom 3 would have been a bit more difficult. My guess for next weeks bottom 3 would have been, Anoop, Lil and Kris. But let’s say it ended up being Danny? Danny would be a far better choice to save. In the end it may not matter because we may end up with the same bottom 3 as tonight. We will lose two of them and continue on. Poor use of the save, they may have well just used it on Scott.

I also think that Cara and Paula should at least pretend that are impartial. They are supposed to be judges and I think their antics influence voters. Randy and Simone play it cool while the woman sway and swoon. Pull it together! Having said that, I read and agree with an article arguing that the new arrangement in judging does not work. Simone is the only judge that has something valuable to say almost all the time. His assessments can make or break a competitor. The way it rolls now it works against the competitors that Simon does not judge and is even unfair. The better solution is to tell Cara, more so than Paula, to shut up. I have no doubt Ryan can handle that. I also support the bandwagon to ditch Cara. she lost my respect very early on and usually has nothing of value to offer.

This “boot” show is too long and boring. Last night I joined Skype and at least had the company of “Nameless” via videoconference. We both agreed that we could do without all the other acts. She switched over to Lost during the singsongs. I say cut the show to 30 minutes and get to the point. Do the Ford commercial, because I understand they need to generate revenue for the show and Ford! Then sit someone on the metal stool then do the big show tune number and then sit two more. One more commercial break and then cut the person lose and let us go to bed. That way I would be spared sitting through Myley’s tinny thin little sing along. What has any of this got to do with the picture of Kris? Well, if you have to ask why I would post a picture of Kris, you are either straight or blind!

Finally, I am not sure the save rule makes any difference. I thought I was there to save a competitor that was voted off for some unknown reason. Example, everyone figured they were safe so they did not bother to vote. That wont matter until the final 4 or 5 so having the save rule that is must be used before the bottom 5 made it redundant. This coming week will be interesting as 2 will be leaving. It should be some combination of last night’s bottom 3 but who knows….
