Three of us guess that Brooke has mouthed off on a performance night for the last time, one person thinks Jason has gone as far as looks can carry him, and one person supposes that Syesha has cheated elimination for the last time. And there's always the chance that David Archuleta's massacre of "Sweet Caroline" will outweigh the patriotism of a nation. What will happen? This... is American Idol!
Neil Diamond medley, just in case anybody still needed convincing that Neil Diamond's songs suck. (Sorry, Erin.) Thank goodness this is the last of the mentor weeks.
Constantine! Yay! And also Gina, but... Constantine! (Sorry, Pam.)
Montage of last night's show. Which almost feels less rushed than last night's show.
Aww, they left out the Paula SNAFU. Some are taking that as evidence that the show is rigged. Please. If it were rigged, they'd do a much better job of it. I don't think any Master Plan requiring Paula to be a key element would stand a chance.
Ah, here we go. Ryan doesn't address what actually happened, except to debunk rumors that the show will get rid of her. (Yeah, like that would happen.)
Jason... is safe. Dammit.
David Archuleta... is safe.
Next week's theme is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Okay, plenty of range there.
So You Think You Can Dance promo.
Randy displays the winning entry of a contest to design a Coca-Cola cup.
David Cook... is safe.
So Brooke and Syesha are the bottom two. Please let it be Brooke...
Natasha Bedingfield performs. Unlike last week's British-singer-I've-never-heard-of, she's quite good.
Questions from viewers. Including one from the first girl Simon ever kissed, when he was nine, which is awkward and almost awesome.
Ford commercial: "Catch the Wind"
Neil Diamond sings "Pretty Amazing Grace."
Back to Brooke and Syesha. The person leaving... is Brooke. She sobs, of course.
Jesse and I pick up two points; Pam and TeKay get one.
