The "unexpected" surprise exit of one of the favorites would be the WORST thing for our beloved Timmeh. The judges would use the save. That means 2 eliminated next week and Timmeh probably gone. I dont think they would use the save on Fugcia but would probably save any of the others except Timmeh. So we need to pray for the Gay Janitor's elimination otherwise Tim is gone next week

BTW I think is hot but I love dirty whores

I think Andrew will be going home tonight. He just didn't have a good enough performance to stay. As for Katie, why don't people stop picking on the kid. She is just 17 and doesn't have the life experience to know how to "act" as a celebrity. She also had her best performance last night.

The majority of people on the web and on the show seem to be picking Crystal and Sy-o-ban to be the top two. I don't like either of them. The dirty hippie and the wacko both need humility lessons.

As for Tim, I'm just sick of him and don't care if he stays or goes. At this point, he is a non-entity.

Every week I am hoping that Fugsia goes home. Maybe this week? *praying* Then Katie. Aaron? I do not care either way. Timmy rules, of course.

Aaron - boring and weak this week, seems like a solid Bottom Three performance.

Katie - pretty good tonight, with one of the top performances of the evening (this was the first time her voice didn't affect me like fingernails on a chalkboard).

Andrew - Describing his performance last night sounds like the name for a law firm: hokey, boring, and blah. Bottom Three time.

Mike - painfully over-the-top vocal gymnastics ruined what could have been the stellar performance of the night.

Crystal - surprisingly weak, though she got better towards the end. Also, she blew some of the lyrics - not surprising since they're so non-sensical - still, no one called her on it... a little favoritism, maybe?

Casey - not bad at all, though the end of the song was a bit strange and contrasted badly with the more emotionally honest rest of the performance.

Siobhan - it didn't work this week. Her voice sounded thin at times, and made the big parts seemed forced. Hopefully she'll survive the round - AI needs her quirkiness to make the show worth watching this year.

Tim - Uuggghhh. No wonder VFTW loves this guy. He reminds me of Bill Murray's lounge singer act from SNL. Time to go home, Tim, VFTW or not.

Lee - I don't know why his performance last night is getting such raves. He picked a key far too high for himself, had to strain to hit all the high stuff, and then had to drop the chorus an octave just to be able to sing it. Not good, not good at all.

Prediction: Tim should be the one to go, but VFTW will probably save him (kiss-of-death "we admire you" comments from the judges non-withstanding). I'd say Aaron or Andrew is headed out the door.

Comment: the only way Crystal doesn't win Season 9 is if she tosses the competition to avoid the winner's letdown. (except for Carrie Underwood, and possibly Kelly Clarkson and David Cook, the also-rans have all fared as well or better than the winners). Otherwise, it will take a voter backlash against the favorite to keep her from the title... everybody else has too many holes to deserve to win. (imho, anyway)

I don't care who goes... nobody's untouchable this year in my book.

But I do hope Tim hangs at least for another week. I wasted a lot of minutes on my phone.

I can't wait to see what crazy antics our crazy contestants will get into during the Ford commerical. Weeeeee.

Viewership would mostly like dip more if people think Crystal is a sure thing winner. Prediction: Watch for Crystal to suddenly have a bad week and drop to bottom three. Of course, it will be blamed on a cold or flu or whatever else those crazy contestants come up with. Then she will be saved and climb from the ashes to win. The fantards will love the drama.

By the way kids: You are having voice problems because you don't know how to sing or have any breath control. You are mouth singing...not "lung singing." Please stop blaming your troubles on a touch of H1N1. Pleeeeeeeeeeeaze!

Based on everything I've seen so far, I think that the bottom three will probably end up being Aaron, Andrew and our little Timmeh. I would like to think that the Romulan twink will be tossed tonight (he was fucking horrendous last night), but my gut is telling me that it will be one of the other two. At this point, I'm calling it for El Vez Costello, but wouldn't be surprised if Tim's run comes to an end tonight. There are just too many parallels to the night when we said goodbye to Sanjaya for me to ignore.

I'm really hoping Tim stays.

I voted for all but the last 10 minutes last night.

He doesn't even deserve to be a parody of Elvis Costello.

My guess is that Tim isn't even in the bottom three...He might be one of the three lowest vote getters, but I'd think the producers would pull some shit and keep him safe to lull the tweeners into a false sense of security.

Instead I bet it's Andrew, Aaron, and Lee/Slobodan(ZOMG NO! WTF! O WOW SHOCKERRRR!!!11!! Producers: Make sure you vote harder for this one next week!)

Fugcia gets eliminated. Save isn't used.
