NoFace for Film

Hee hee.

Hee hee.

Sorry folks, I can’t stop laughing.

Hee hee!

The day for rejoicing has arrived. But first, let me give a recap of last night’s episode.

I guess FOX has run out of filler sitcoms for Wednesday nights, because we keep having these boring hour-long results shows. Whatever happened to that Wedding Bells TV show that they were promoting early on in the year? I saw one episode and that was it.

At the beginning of the show, Simon takes some time out to address the eyeroll issue. As some people know, when Chris did his shout out to the victims of Virginia Tech, Simon was caught rolling his eyes. Supposedly, Simon didn’t hear a word of what Chris had said, because he was talking to Paula at the time and rolled his eyes at something she was saying. Personally, I don’t believe it. Although Simon didn’t roll his eyes at the mention of the VA Tech victims, I think he was rolling his eyes at Chris’ obvious pandering for votes.

On to the first filler crap of the evening: Ryan interviews people on the street on what they thought about Tuesday’s performances.

Yay, Bucky sighting! Much better than the creepy Constantine sighting on Tuesday. I love Bucky. He’s so down to earth and cool.
Yawn, group song. Ryan makes the inevitable “Magnificent Seven” reference to the gang. Jordin and Chris surprisingly sound good together. She also sounds good with LaKisha. Goes to show once again that Jordin is so damn versatile.

Filler crap two: Video of the contestants talking about their favorite songs. Jordin mentions that she likes Fergie.

Filler crap three: As luck would have it, Fergie happens to be performing on this show. Imagine that. It was actually not a bad song. It was rather unFergie-like.

As always, we then have the Ford ad. Everyone is a spy and trying to steal a briefcase. Sanjaya is dressed like Neo from The Matrix. Blake looks like a dapper British gentleman from the 60s. Weird.

Oh no. Ryan’s replaying the Last Temptation of George Huff scenario. I really, really hate when he does this. It’s downright cruel. Phil, Jordin, and Chris form one group, while Sanjaya, LaKisha, and Blake form the other. Of course Melinda would be the sacrificial lamb, forced to choose which group she belongs in. Melinda pretends to be horrified, then pulls a Bo Bice and sits on the floor in between both groups. Ryan tells her to scootch towards Phil and company, and the audience erupts in glee because after all, any group with Melinda in it is obviously safe.

Filler crap four: Video of field trip to Dreamworks. The group meets Jeffrey Katzenberg and Antonio Banderas, who both happen to be in the audience along with Melanie Griffith.

Martina McBride performance. My boyfriend is blown away by her voice and says hers was the best guest performance he’s ever heard on the show.

Ah, finally, the moment of truth. Ryan first mercifully sends Blake back to his seat, leaving a bewildered LaKisha standing next to Sanjaya. I can only imagine the uproar that would ensue if she left before him, but then again, Jennifer Hudson left before John Stevens.

Then Ryan says the magic words many people have waited to hear all season.

“Sanjaya…you are going home.”

The audience explodes in cheer at the same time my boyfriend and I do. There was much whooping and hollering at our little apartment. Balance has been restored to the Force.

Interestingly, Sanjaya actually looked surprised. Guess he didn’t realize that when the field had been narrowed this much, not even his hair and cute smile could save him. I’ve got to give the little guy kudos though, for being a bit cheeky in his end song, changing the lyrics to “Let’s give them something to talk about other than hair hair hair”.

I wonder who the Vote for the Worst people will pick now. Phil? Chris perhaps? I can’t wait till we get to the Top 4, when they pick someone like Blake or Jordin because you know, they’re such horrible singers.

Au revoir. Ciao. Adios. Sayonara. Au wiedersehen. Zai jian. Farewell Sanjaya. Have fun at the tour.
