I watched the IDOL results show live tonight. Not used to that since I've recorded it and watching other shows opposite it during the past two weeks. Tonight, everything was repeats, so I went ahed and watched live. Never again. I'll record from now on so I can zip through all the manufactured tension.
At any rate, we at least lost one very, very poor singer though we had to give up one good one in the process. Of the two men, neither was going anywhere anyway, so losing them now was no loss. I still think it abominable that something other than talent and stage presence can get people voted into the finals, but this isn't the first time it's happened, and I suspect we'll be rid of the untalented ones soon enough.
