It seemed like Elise wouldn't go home no matter how many times she was thrown under the bus, but it appears that it has finally happened this time. We kind of liked Elise, but hey, Phillip is safe and that's what matters!
Phillip was not in the bottom 3 after two VFTW worthy performances. Skylar was, even though the judges love her. Thanks again for joining us in the voting. VFTW Victory!
Tonight, the top 13 were chosen on American Idol and it wasn't a shock at all. DeAndre, a little surprising. The rest, not so much. But we've got a LOT of VFTW potential in this group. So we're all about this cast. As long as they stop.singing.fucking.Adele.songs.now. Unfortunately Eben and Haley didn't make it... but we expected that. When we have to get our pick to be in the top 5 of 12, it's almost impossible. But now we just need to make sure our pick doesn't come in last - much easier and much more fun. Let the real games begin!
Show the new finalists a little love - almost all of them would make fun picks. But who is your favorite top 13 cast member to be the next VFTW pick? (We'll make our choice after they all sing next week)
