...Ok, gotta weigh in here., scariest plastic surgery award goes to (well, Michael Jackson is in his own cross species category, but..) Mickey Rourke! Saw him on Letterman a couple of nights ago plugging Sin City... OYE VEY! That plastic surgeon should be sued!! Now, before the mods step in, back on topic! I was sad to see Nadia go, but don't think she had a chance to win the whole enchilada anyway, and really does it matter what order they leave in? I was shocked to see Bo in the bottom 2, and really think he deserves to go much further if not win the whole thing.. The problem as I see it though is that neither Bo nor Constantine likely have a shot a winning, even if they go to final 3 they are both wading in the same voting pool and are going to be splitting their votes as long as they are both there. Real rocker, fake rocker, no matter, they are both appealing to the same demographic..

Yikes! I saw O'Rourke on O'Reilly the other night and he just looked terrible, but not as bad as that pic makes him look. In fact, while he was on I was thinking how Bill could benefit from some good cosmetic surgery to get rid of that floppy thing that used to be his chin and an eye lift, but when I saw O'Rourke again, I just started shivering on horror. His hairline is so far back! They stretched that man tighter than a drum head.

I didn't take Bo's comments as arrogant - I took them as honest. He is in this competition and I would assume he would like to use it to spring his career forward (although as I pointed out a few weeks ago that most "rock" singers are front men for a band - they are not "stand-alone" singers). However, I think he was trying to say that his life wouldn't be over if he didn't win this competition and that he was enjoying the opportunity to perform at this level. I found it rather refreshing. Boo hoo on Nadia...who ARE these people voting for Scott and why? He has no stage presence, his voice is great sometimes but altogether not consistent, and he has a really bad attitude. He needs to grow up. I can see him as a gansta hip-hopper and that's all...not as an American Idol.

I think this year has been different in that they don't have 12 people who sing the exact same style of music competing but rather a lot of different styles and therefore votes are all over the place. For me this is the first year I haven't picked my favorite from the beginning and stuck with them regardless of performance. I was a Scott, Nadia, and Constatine fan to start with and now am a BIG Vonzell and Carrie fan. Each contestant is bringing something different to the table and each week I end up cheering for someone new as they constantly surprise me. On a different subject... Was I the ONLY person watching Scott after Nadia was booted? I kept watching on the stage to see any interaction that may confirm rumors that they are an item but he seemed to just stand in the background and stare at her...

Ditto Roxip on Bo. I just thought he wasn't taking himself too seriously. I didnt see it as arrogant. The judges obviously didn't either. I wonder too who is keeping Scott alive. Its hard to imagine

Roxip, I felt Bo's comments were great. He has always seemed grateful to be on the show and surprised that he has made it so far. In past weeks when he had nothing to fear he said he was surprised not to be on the bottom 3. Last year Latoya got roasted for saying what was interpreted as: she didn't care if she went out because she had already made it and would be a star thru the exposure she had gotten at that point. (I never felt that is what she meant myself, but lets say she did for the sake of argument.) Bo on the other hand was saying it wouldn't be the end of the world, not because he has stardom made but that he wouldn't be unhappy going back to playing in his small band. It's all good.

Yes Sassy, I did the same thing. I agree, there was not much interaction, if any, between them. Although I have a really hard time believing they were involved.

I noticed that Constantine rushed across the stage to be with her - and then got shooed back to the chairs.

It's really just a shame Nadia didn't pay more attention to John Waters. She'd still be on the show: PRINCIPAL: Miss Turnblad? Have a seat. TRACY: Yes, sir. PRINCIPAL: Once again, your hairdo is getting you in hot water. Didn't two weeks in hairdo detention have any effect? TRACY: I happen to be the height of teen fashion. PRINCIPAL: You're on a one-way ticket to reform school. Well, I'm afraid we're just going to have to change your homeroom. Starting today, you report to class 10-D, room 108. TRACY: Special ed? PRINCIPAL: Yes, Miss Turnblad, special education. TRACY: But that's for retards ... and the black kids you try to hold back. PRINCIPAL: Here, you will be taught by specialists trained to deal with hairdo scofflaws in high school society. TRACY: Mr. Davidson! PRINCIPAL: That will be all, Miss Turnblad.

I didn’t interpret Bo’s comments as arrogant either. I just took it as him being a happy guy who loves music and will go on enjoying it regardless of what happens, which is a positive thing. On the other hand, I definitely think that this will hurt him vote-wise as it seems that you need repeat dedicated voters to win and I think his comments may have disillusioned some of his supporters. It’s hard to spend your evening frantically dialling numbers for someone who doesn’t appear to be that interested in winning. LOL Tishala (but you may get called to the Principal's office yourself on this one!).

Bo was honest. He did not dream of or aspire to be on this show. He tried out on a bet. He will go back to his old life life if he walks. Ok, simple enough, despite the fact there are thousands who tried out and would eat guinea pigs for the chance to be there. The content is straight forward but his delivery and body language left some of us thinking that he thought this show/opportunity is not all that special. And that may be the case with Bo. I think it will stop some, who have been redialing for 2 hours, to repeat this ritual without some word of thanks or clear desire to remain. He has chosen the life of an entertainer and I find it odd that he does not display a gratitude to his fans. One just can't sustain a career on the stage without being grateful to those who keep you there. Simon, on Oprah, mentioned that he witnessed a couple of contestants refusing to sign autographs. He told them that if they continued to do this he would name them on the air. I wonder if one was Bo.

Well, dang Mum, now you are going to make me rewatch on the ol' DVR tonight because I didn't get ingratitude at all, just that he was surprised to have made it this far. So I will rewatch his delivery with a more critical eye. I am a lazy voter for this show, and don't start voting until I think my contestant needs me. I suspect there are scores just like me. A frontrunner dropping into the bottom three happens every year about this time and gives the fans a message that it is time to start voting for real. Justin, Reuben, Fantasia and Bo all experienced an early bottom 3 due to fan overconfidence from judges build up and great AOL and other poll numbers.

Watch it again Prince Bunny. I had a negative reaction to what he said. Bo is on my short list so it was not a predjudiced ear that caught some arrogance. I vote the same way, must be genetic.

If Scott's comments didn't get him booted out of the competition, I don't think Bo's will. His fans will rally for him. I checked out the Fox Idol board last night and I have to tell you, there was one thread that I couldn't help but laugh at - Scott - The Turd That Won't Flush. ROFL... Quite a few people thought it was funny, but the Scott fans were LIVID!!

Scott slipped after the news, not enough to boot him, but he did lose some support I think. I doubt it will hurt Bo much. I don't expect him to be in the bottom 3 again.

Well also, Bo may see the replay and realize that his remarks could be interpreted....well...the way they *are* being interpreted. After he sings on Tuesday he would have a chance to say, "I really want to thank my fans for keeping me here." That is, if he IS glad they are keeping him there!

I think on Tuesday we'll see Beaux 2.0 appear on the AI horizon. Simon will say it's like he's been re-born with his new look and new commitment to singing the same songs from 1975 he's been performing throughout the competition in the same hackneyed style, but he will warn him--"if I'm being perfectly honest here"--that the audience wants to see something that challenges him and he's "not so sure the audience will think that song did it, really."

I think he should name his new incarnation Bob Ice. I have liked that better from the start.

Scott is someone who has been shown repeatedly since Tryouts. He has had lots of 'tv time' even before making the finals. I really think that is why he is still there and a few of the others are gone. His voice is OKAY but weak. He is a stiff performer and What is with that Clapping for Himself?? that he did after singing Tuesdays show.The Turd That Won't Flush Oh that is MEAN!!! the poor guy doesnt seem to have any real self esteem already...He is going to be suicidal if reading stuff like that online. ** Carrie is growing each week in my opinion. I really thought she did Pat Benatar wonderfully!
