I'm just thinking about Rock Star... they opened that up to what, 12, 15 countries? And they didn't care where in the world you were, they let you vote. It just irritates me. Pamy, can you please cast a vote or two for Zach, the SFX boy from Vancouver?? Please and thanks and what can I do to return the favour???

Someone vote for Zach for me too! I will vote for whichever Canadian Idol you choose!!! It sucks that there is a "voting window" that goes based on the two hours following the show IN YOUR TIME ZONE, so you have to be watching live, not taped, and you have to vote right away. I don't watch any of those other shows, so I'm not familiar with whether their voting works the same way, but it sucks for those who tape the show.

Thank you Pamy!!! A million times over! Eeyore, doesn't matter if you watch live or taped. If you have a postal code instead of a zip code, you're SOL. Hopefully it's fun to watch, though. Just seems one-sided to let us compete, but not vote.

In order to prevent people from fast forwarding thru the ads, more and more shows do live voting or contests. Some of the films was so amateurish, you feel that the contestants were casted by Burnett for their looks/personalities.

Thanks Pamy... Eeyore I don't think they get CANADIAN IDOL in the States. But if they do, I'd also be happy to vote on behalf of our American pals here too.

What did you think about the "Getta Room" film? I thought it was hilarious and it was in my top three favorites. I did not think the man was supposted to be mentally challanged, and I think CArrie Fisher overreacted. The director tried to say that that wasn't his intention, but I think he didn't say it strongly enough. I fear he'll lose votes because of the judges. Dancing Man and Replication Theory were my other two favorites, with the airport security fantasty also right up there.

Could you fake your zip code to vote? Eeyores, here is one in your time zone: 98101 That is Seattle. You probably visit there from time to time, so are practically a resident.

Nah, Juju, it's all about IP addresses and service providers. It's all tagged as being 'from Canada' - we can't vote.

It pleases me to see the camaraderie between the boarders: Thanks, someone adopted me during AI and voted for Jordin on my behalf. i wished it was

Any guesses on who gets the axe tonight? I'm guessing the really odd films: the light bulb changing one and the wacky taxi. Both just left me confused.

I agree with those two, Brenda, and I'll add the one with the woman on the blind date that goes in the men's room. OR the woman going to the bathroom on the bus.

I think the one who did the movie preview should be let go. He did not even do a short film and it was to be more action than comedy. I hate to say I think the bad ones will stay. The best always get lots of votes at this stage. The bad ones get more votes than they deserve because people know they were that bad and feel sorry for them. It is the ones in the middle who are let go early on.

I love the show but not the web site! You are encouraged to create a name & password, yet when you apply both; the advantages on the site are no more than if you did not have one. There is a 5 star rating for each clip, I thought you could have fun at least watching the clips and rating them. Without really voting, I will not be visiting again. It is silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The preview was excellent - but it wasn't risky, it was disobedient. He did not follow the rules and should be turfed. The ones I didn't like ... too many to name. LOL. Lady peeing on the bus. The one with the break-in while she was on the phone. Lightbulb guy.

Oh yes, forgot about the bathroom on the bus film. I didn't like that one either and would put it in my bottom 3. Do the judges opinions have any weight in who stays? Or is it all up to public voting?

I enjoyed watching the clips again on the website. A couple of them I didn't really remember, so that helped refresh for me who did what.

Yeah, what's with "I took a risk?" Why not take a risk and make an edgy, great, COMEDY SHORT that we all enjoy? Rule-breaking is not "risk" and risk for its own sake has no purpose. I had laughed out loud at the Getta Room short and then I felt bad after what Carrie said.

I thought the Getta Room was funny, too. I've been around mentally challenged people all my life and had no indication whatsoever that that was the brand of humour he was going for. Maybe I'm naive in having enough faith in people that they wouldn't even attempt that kind of humour (at least, not under these circumstances).

I honestly don't think that was what that director had in mind at all. He looked totally appalled that anyone would even come up with that ...

Were we shown the cut from 24 to 18? One of the top 24 was a local guy (Brent) and he was still there at the end of the second show. Last night's show started with the top 18 and he was gone. Did I miss a show? I have seen three episodes, still have them on DVR and there is an obvious gap... Sugar, we agreed, Carrie Fisher = Paula Abdul...
