Chris will win.

Taylor might be a close runner up. I just don't think he's all that great. He blew this week. He wowed me about twice. Other than that... if he didn't have such a fun personality he'd of been toast.

Bucky sucks. Nuff said. Seems like a nice guy but he is the suckiest one left.

I also knew from the second the show started who would be in the bottom three when I saw Mandisa, Elliot, Paris and Taylor on the top row. I knew it wouldn't be Taylor so it wasn't all that much of a shock. I actually thought Paris would go.

And let's face it, the people listen to Simon. They may all hate his guts but more times than not, they listen to him.

I think surprises like this have a lot to do with song choice. When you pick a flat and boring song even your most hardcore fans aren't encouraged to call in. That's what happens.

I had a feeling tonight would be a shocker and I was right. But I really wish they'd seat these contestants differently; they just make it so damn obvious.

How the heLL is Bucky still in this competition? Even on country singing night I didn't think he was all that good. Love or hate Kellie, she brought it on Tuesday.

Paris has begun to annoy me, well that started weeks ago; I also thought she would be the one who had been voted out with the bottom 3 they had tonight.

Well, as long as Chris wins...

Well I thought the bottom three was spot on. I like how the voters seemed to vote solely on last nights performances instead of on the season as a whole. Paris wasn't very good and deserved bottom three and while Elliott and Mandisa both do have good voices they totally sucked last night. Both of them butchered the songs they sang. Even tonight Mandisa sounded horrible, based on that and last night she totally deserved to go. Do I think Bucky or Ace is that good? Heck no but they brought it last night and deserve another week.

I don't get the shock. I fully expected Mandisa to go home. She has really sucked two weeks in a row.

The only surprise was that Elliott was in the bottom two.

I truly believe that Taylor, Kellie and Chris get the most votes every week. I want Elliott in the top three but I think America has already decided that, even though I don't think Kellie is all that great.

DialIdol measures the busy signals to find out who is going home each week. Here are the results from this week. I am surprised that Taylor and Katharine are getting the most votes.

I am not surprised at all. All those in the bottom 3 should have been there (Taylor could have been too though). Based on last night alone, it was right. I knew Mandisa would take a hit with everything going on whether it was true or not (especially given what are culture is now a days). Her bad performance last night (and last week too) did not help matters. Simone warned her about that song last week and this week he told her last night that song was wrong (although not for the same reasons as last week's).

Don't get me wrong I loved her but she just was not the same the last few weeks so its not as big a shock as Latoya and Jennifer in season 3. We all knew this year would be shocking and this is the first big bomb. I still think Chris and Katherine for the finale with Kellie or Taylor in third and I am sticking to it.

Elliot, whom I like, better do something WOW next week. He has been good but nothing really gripping. Paris will go soon-she is getting tiring.

I'm glad Mandisa finally went, that anti-gay thing stopped me from voting, but would you really want her to win? In the UK, they had an overweight woman who acted like she was missing a limb win and it was just awful. She ended up doing so poorly that they cancelled the show. Look at Ruben, where is he? I know I may offend some, but I'm just being realistic. Unless you are a rapper, it's very difficult to become a pop star and be overweight. EVen with actors it's difficult.

What I really like about this season is that while the contestants aren't all amazingly brilliant vocals, they are a diverse bunch. I can see each of them going off and being a different type of Pop Idol.

Look at Madonna and Janet Jackson. Two of the most successful female artists of all time and they aren't very strong vocalists. It's about the full package and I think thats what some of these people are bringing.

    • I'm following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
