I hope your right. I think it's Lakisha too, as does dialidol who has her as last with Melinda above her.

However, word has spread like wildfire all day today it's Melinda. We have seen frontrunners like Tamyra, LaToya, and Chris go down in this round so I am worried. The one thing that keeps me a little calmer is the fact that Nigel, one of the show's producers, does a interview usually before the results show and he hasn't commented yet. Usually, he will indicate there is a shocker coming tonight so people will watch and the ratings will be juiced up. He hasn't said anything yet. Last week, he said there were no surprises and he was right. I like Lakisha but I would take her going over Melinda.

If the show wants to do this right and get ratings, we need a Melinda/Jordin finale. Reward consistency and talent.

Ryan Seacrest, you SUCK!!!

It's not "the network." You've been doing this long enough to know just how long it takes per segment, or if things are running too long.

JERK!!! And EVERY week he apologizes and says the same thing. We're ALL onto you!!!

Meanwhile, does Ry remind ANYONE else of EJ on "Days of Our Lives?" Not James Scott, the actor, but EJ, the character? The way he dresses, how he looks nice but says some EVIL thing when you least expect it... etc etc? Because that finally hit me tonight. Ryan Seacrest IS EJ Wells!!!! :o

Meanwhile, once again, Ryan, go to hell! Stop writing CHECKS yo ASS can't CASH. Be STRAIGHT UP with us about the time. Bitch, we know the eliminations aren't going to come until the last 10 minutes anyway! You ain't foolin' no one, homeslice!!!!

Oh, please. What was with that fake huddle? I'm not buying that these last four are THAT close. PUT ON THE SHOW FOR SOMEONE ELSE, babies! I'm not fallin' for it!!!

HOLY CRAP. Barry Gibb looks like that? I don't think so. SNL's Justin Timberlake parodies have truly blinded me!!! He's aged and he doesn't still look 30. :/

Blake is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying!!! I hate his eyes!

Anyway, little piece of trivia: Chris Daughtry -- who now goes by simply "Daughtry" for some VERY lame reason -- actually is the singer of "Home," the song they use when the contestants are booted off! I was so shocked when I saw the music video on MTV last night, which had the big reveal. :o

It's a good song. I hadn't realized he'd "made" it.

NO! Not my Ki-Ki!!! I love you girl and I will listen to anything you produce, I loved her so much. Oh well that's life, here's hoping for a Joridn/Melinda final!!! I don't think either one of those girls have been in the bottom two yet and this is the second time Blake's been in the bottom. Oye!!

Go Jordin! Go Melinda! Blake you're cute and all so I'll just take a picture!

Well, this is the final 3 that was expected. I have been saying all season Lakisha would go before she should. I am shocked she went this far. Blake should've went but I think Lakisha going assures us of a Melinda/Jordin finale. All of her votes will go to Melinda and Jordin has her spot in the finale wrapped up. I had a feeling it wasn't a shocker. Nigel said nothing and Ryan talked early about this always being a shocking week and it seemed designed to steer us in the direction that this was a shock when it wasn't. I said yesterday "Staying Alive" had goodbye song written all over it. "It's alright, it's ok. I'm going to make it anyway" is a good goodbye lyric to me. I wonder what Lakisha went through yesterday. She did seem rather out of sorts but she came off better tonight. I think she knew she was out. She kept telling herself not to cry too. Sweet.

The results show at this stage should be an hour. Yes, it's filler but it gives us a chance to see the group songs again and it gives the person going home a proper exit and not some rush job. I also like the judge banter in the beginning. Ryan seriously needs to stop apologizing though. We all know when the results are coming.

I will be voting alot for Melinda and Jordin. They are the two most deserving. I used to like Blake but his act is old now.

Oh, and JSF, they are this close. You can tell if people fake it. This crew doesn't. I find it refreshing they are this close. The singers have been close in every season but last. That is why I call last year the "year of the egos." No one in that group seemed close at all and there was no emotional reaction to anyone leaving. All season you felt a "cold atmosphere" and I hated it.

Next week should be fun. Two of the deserving are there and I think Melinda realizes she needs to bring it now. Jordin brings it most of the time so bring on the final 3!!

Wow...JSF. So many basic and well-kinown facts you never seem to know. :lol:

That song is constantly played on the radio and I have yet to see anyone not know that.

Also, Daughtry is just his band's name. He still goes by his real name.

It's ok though. That is what we are all here for. To help you out. :)

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
