Well, I just the preview for ET and Trenyce's arrest will be discussed.

I wonder how this will affect her performance? there is no way I could be in the public eye, and I've never been arrested or posed for porn. I'd be scared to death that someone from high school will turn up with some goofy thing that I did.

They are sequestered so I doubt they see any publicity and this must be one of the reasons for the isolation other than working hard and resting without distraction.

I was wondering how calls to home are managed, if they are at all. I would think that friends and family could call them on their cell phones and give information from the internet or news.

Any upsetting news would not be to their advantage and I doubt a loved one would do that but where they are ranking in the public poles could in their favor if they are doing well.

oh, I didn't know they were sequestered.

If that's the case, then Josh has no idea how intens the war is & that members from his troop/regimen/? have been seriously injured or dead. wow

I thought they were sequestered from making public appearances.. didn't think that extended to being mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed sh!t).. They clearly know some of what's going on.

What seems odd to me re: Lashundra/Trenyce is if they knew ahead of time, the obviously decided to let her have a chance, but the name change came after she made it to final 64? 32? Anyway, she wasn't chosen to go on in the voting, so with knowledge of this past problem why did Paula put her back into competition.. (or is Paula also in the dark?)

I asked my DH(retired Navy) about the Josh thing. He said NO WAY would they give him special treatment and deploy others and not him because of the show. He also said he wouldn't be able to stay at the AI house because he would have duty at least once a week.
I have never liked Treynce and I thought her performance last week sucked, I think she will go soon regardless of this bad press. I think the bad press may make her go sooner though.
I don't understand why so many don't like Josh, I thought his did great last week, I liked all the energy he put into it, I don't like country but like him.

Did anyone watch E.T.? What did they say about Trenyce?

I don't think backgrounds matter that much for a recording star. Hollywood, the music industry and the fans do not care (for the most part). Robert Downey Jr, Winona Ryder, Liza Minelli, Ozzy Osborne, Michael Jackson, Emienem............on and on. It is a component of the wild artistic image.

Frenchie was the exception because of the tie in to child pornography. There is a line. Poor woman, not her fault.

I never thought of Trenyces' name change to be tied into this but good observation.

I only speculate as to why they are sequestered. Reasons.......having them all in one place for ease of the routine (stylists, coaches, rehearsals, easy access) keeping them away from the stress of knowing the buzz. It is always about money and it costs less to have them all together for every contact and organizing.

i like josh, but see him finishing out in 4th or 5th place. i think it will be down to ruben and clay at the end. both are wonderful and i would be happy with either as the winner. i am a teensy bit more enamored of clay, but i know he is hermione's clay, or should i change her name to "her man is clay"?!
what would be great about either of them winning is that i think they are both 'not the norm' (which is a good thing, sometimes there are 'cookie cutter' people who look like what some would expect of an american idol. hard to explain....) clay has that elfin waif let-me-take you home and snuggle you look, and ruben is truly a lovable huggable guy.
i just hope simon doesn't feel it has to be narrowed to one guy and one gal at the end.

I am going to interject here that when I say I do not like Josh, I mean for this contest and it's mission. I know nothing of this man and I bet he is a darling person. (I just hate when things get serious and posters get all fluffed up) I do the surface.

Car..let's get Ms. Bat!!! Tabby, I agree I don't think he will win, I think Clay or Ruben should win. I can see Josh getting a record deal later on, which would still be great. He seems like a good family man and I wish the best for him.

MsBat.. don't be fightin' those battles on me (Sea) .. and those shores shore do sound like a Beach to me...

I like Josh, like country music but he shouldn't win over all in this group. For me.. third.. or fourth..

I like Ruben, Clay and Kim L.. and the order remains to be seen since Kim may keep improving. Clay needs to get more sleep so he gets his twinkle back. Ruben remains a rock..

Bat, screw the Debby Boone, you get endless loops of Achey Breaky Heart, interspersed with pig calling and yodeling.) YeeHaW.. urk..

Just so you know........I LOVE yodeling............I mean TOTALLY LOVE IT.

Having said that, I am not a fan of county music.

I want to know Slim Whitman in the biblical way,......whistle and I will follow you anywere. He may be dead.

Off topic..........I HATE Joni Mitchell.

I, also, am not fond of meatballs and salmon. Eggplant is only good when breaded and fried, otherwise it slips on the tongue a bit. I do not care for slippery food. Meatballs are just dumb.

I dislike Carmen's singing intensely.

I am eating breaded eggplant right now. Meatballs are really good if you put some chopped spinach in them.


If you hold her down, let's have a little Pole discussion.

car, you and the pole!! lol
one of these days you are going to show up on a board and sheepishly admit, "i backed my car into a pole today" or something!

fruit, my husband fishes for salmon in alaska and then he smokes it and puts it on a cracker with cream cheese, capers, green onion....delicious!

i will have to try the spinach in the meatballs. sounds really good.

i have had a thing for asparagus this week! i cook a piece of bacon and crumble it up. i add olive oil, cider or wine vinegar and dijon mustard to the bacon fat. then i put in some thinly sliced ham. next i put in the fresh asparagus, cut into 1.5 inch sections and sautee everything for two or three minutes. wow!!!

now i have to go to bed so i can get up and shop for 50 elk tomorrow. i mean, shop so i can cook for 50 elk. i mean, shop to cook for 50 elks lodge members tomorrow.

I like Josh and don't care for all the talk abut why he hasn't been sent to Kuwait, etc. I think he is a fine example of American youth. Having said that, I don't think he is the best of the group that is still in the competition and I doubt if he will be the last one standing. I never liked Trenyce and like her less each week. The shoplifting charge will probably get her ousted sooner but I didn't see her making it much longer anyway.
