You know, I couldn't agree more -- and you know how hard I've been on her. On the phone-in votes scale, she ranked third behind the obvious two standouts tonight.

Well, Chris R. would have been up there had I not reduced his tally because I hate him so much -- but those three girls were really heads above the rest tonight.

A disappointing effort for both Lakisha and Stephanie, but I'd be interested in how they bounce back next week because they're both much better than that and I would contend that it was the category of song more than ability.

I think Stephanie could be in some danger...people tend to compare her to the other 3 black girls and that could be trouble. Obviously Phil and Sanjaya should be two of the bottom 3, Gina could be the third but she has fans so Stephanie could be the third.

They should have that crying pre-teen girl on every week. Great stuff.


Now who do I think is going home tomorrow?

If This Is All The Talent In The Usa, Then The Ship Is Going Down Quick!! You Are Right , I Hate That Chris Guy, The Timberlake Copycat. And The Rest Are Just Time Fillers For The Over The Top Fox Channel. Would Anyone Actually Buy A Record By Anybody Here? I Wouldnt Even Cross The Street To Hear Whats His Name, Soul Patrol Dude. He Really Is A Winner Isnt He.. This Show Is Entertaining Though In A Don Rickles Kind Of Way. To Pick People Apart Is So Fun! Basically Though It Is Kid And Gay Oriented. But Regardless, I Keep On Watching.

I thought Stephanie and Phil were the bottom two last night....I thought Blake and Jordin were the top two...all the rest were okay.....

Bottom three prediction:
Stephanie, Phil, Chris R.

Phil gets sent off the island tonight.

I think we might agree on that....not sure about Chris though....although he was much better than he's ever been, at this point there really isn't anywhere else for Sanjaya to be but the bottom....but I think he is bottom 3 this week instead of bottom 2.

If I would have just boxed them, instead of keying Phil on top, I would have had the exacta. That exacta should pay huge.
