Oh NO they DIDN’T!

I was right about the encore, at least half of it. Magni AND Lukas were both awarded encores this week. The bottom three though, absolutely blows my mind! Ryan? Josh? What the heck is going on out there voters? JOSH? The same Josh I practically proclaimed my love for last night on this very blog?

I am thrilled that I won’t be subjected to anymore of Jill’s performances, but I am going to miss that bluesy, head-bopping Josh. I can’t believe they let two go. I mean if the two had been Jill and Zayra. . . great. But Josh??? In all reality, he wasn’t going to be the winner, but they could have at least kept him around for another week or so. Supernova. . . you CRUSHED me tonight boys, and not in a good way Mr. Jason Newsted.

So can anyone tell me how this is possible? Is there a website out there similar to the "vote for the worst" of American Idol? Are all the Star Trek and Star Wars fans coming out in droves, waving their light sabres and supporting their fellow space cadet? I doubt I’ll ever know. It will certainly be interesting to see what she wears next week though. A "Cat in the Hat" get-up perhaps?

The standings according to Black Belt Mama are as follows:

Top Three:

Dilana– She’s the clear front runner right now. She exudes confidence and showed that she can front that band. I look for her to only get better (even though I’m not a huge fan of her voice.)

Magni– His performance this week proved that he has what it takes to front Supernova. Plus, he’s from Iceland. That’s intriging all on its own. He is, however, obviously a family man and how a rockstar life with Supernova will mesh with his family remains to be seen.

Storm- In a comment meant to provide a proverbial bitch slap to Jill, Storm proclaimed that she wouldn’t "hump" Gilby, but would instead "break his back." I’m not exactly able to visualize what the heck she’s talking about, but even though it didn’t make sense it was enough to send Jill to the hatchet man. Putting that hip-grinding performance of Jill’s from weeks gone by into the front and center made her an easy target; and Storm proved that she is not to be messed with.

Middle of the Roaders, or if you watch Project Runway. . . the contestants whose scores qualify them for the next round. They’re "in" (for now):

Toby– He peaked too early I’m thinking. He got the encore in the beginning of the season and showed everyone what he can do. Now, we’re all waiting for him to do that again. Bring it Toby and maybe lay off the booze. Seriously dude. 20 shots is a bit much, doncha think?

Lukas- He got one of the encores tonight, but I just can’t see him fronting Supernova. He’s freaky and not in the Tommy Lee kind of way. Not even in the Gilby-Clark-running-my-hands-through-my -hair-constantly kind of way (Seriously, is Gilby trying to get a Pantene commercial or what?). He’s freaky in a Robert Smith, The Cure kind of way, not a Supernova kind of way. I just don’t see this as a fit.

Most Likely to Go Home Next:

Patrice- I don’t see it anymore. I really liked her in the beginning. But lately, it’s just the same old same old and it’s. . . well, old.

Ryan- I think Supernova has it right with him. He is changing it up a bit too much. If you’re interviewing for an office job, you don’t show up wearing a black suit for the first interview and red hot pants for the second. He needs to figure out who he is and show it. I’d suggest leaving the batman eyes alone.

Zayra- Oh Zayra, how your choice in fashion offends the common sensibilities. I’d like to see the Project Runway contestants design something for her. That would probably never work though, because they all despise sewing fabrics like spandex. If she wasn’t so entertaining in a very bad sort of way, she would be gone. People always like to see the train wrecks.

It’s now 1a.m. My arms are KILLING me from karate tonight, but that story will have to wait until tomorrow. . .

Don’t wait until tomorrow to go visit my renter, because it will be too late. She’ll be gone. Go and leave her a nice comment before we bid her adieu. She’s a lonely mama with her son at camp and could use some virtual hugs. . . and I could use some ice for my sore sore arms. . .
