Which one (or perhaps two) of those girls is gonna end up in Top 7/8 then?

I have a feeling they are going to start massively pimping some of them in Hollywood. Last night we saw Jen, Shannon, Elise, and Erika.

From my other boards readings, it seems like the fraus are liking the chunky girls...Erika, Jen and Elise. Quelle surprise. But anything that spells a short shelf life to any of the IBWs sounds good to me.

I don't think PP has it in the bag. He could be this year's Casey.

Let's not forget he fails at singing. And speaking, for that matter.

I've been trolling some 'tard boards, and it seems the WGWG routine is getting old even to the former fans of the WGWG. PP is about as entertaining as a rectal exam IMHO.

He just sucks hard, is all. He could even be the new Paul (as a surprising VFTW pick).

Anywho, I'm surprised they haven't even pimped a lot of the Top 24. By this time last year, we already knew Scotyt was a clear front-runner.

Not unless he invests in a couple of great flowered Mariachi suits and dances like Michigan J Frog. However, I think he can manage the "How y'all doin'" greeting.

Where the fuck are Chase, Chelsea, Haley and Hollie?

They must be fodder or maybe one of them is secretly TCO. If Idol does what it did last year, we'll see clips of them in the green mile episode.

I think I saw Chelsea as one of the random people who fucked up their lyrics.

It's pissing me off that I've seen 2 or 3 black female singers who were way better than these IBW TCOs (and all the guys, too), but we can't have anyone threatening the IBW TCO.

When I was a little white girl in the mid-west, I wanted to sing like Aretha Franklin. Who idolizes these shitty sounding plastic skanks? I really want to know. Amerikkka hates minorities, I guess...

Does Gokey look-a-like count? He says he has a big black woman trapped inside.

TCO???

Brokey, TCO? Never.

I think TCO is a girl. They cut a bunch of "decent-looking" (for frauen standards) guys that could sing that were obvious frau magnets (like Jhonny).

I think it's Jen, or one of the girls they haven't shown.

I thought it was interesting how they arranged an emergency meeting with the vocal coach for Reed when he learned he couldn't sing without the band. As if they have ever done that for anyone else. Then they claimed it was only 30min to make it look like he was amazing. There is no way that meeting with him constantly interrupting, rearranging the entire song twice, and calling his mommy was only 30min. Bitch please.

I think they want him to go far to keep the fraus interested and then they will de-pimp him for not being serious enough or copying Casey. Why else would they clear the I Love You song from Barney?

I think TCO is one of the ugly and/or fat girls. They tried to do this with Lauren Alaina last year, but they overpimped her. This time they will wait until the Top 10 or so for her to "emerge".

Most of them look the same, way too confusing really. Maybe one of them might do a stand-in for the other. More like interchangeable chunky chicks ICC then.

A bit too dull though. What happened to all the entertaining Chiles, Boomies and Songbirds?

Looks like the early rounds will be an IBW-bloodbath, what with 6 of them plus 1 dirty-blonde. I also suspect they will try and split the Frau vote with Reed and Phil-Phil, but that will fail as I don't think Reed will have much staying power.
