HBO Real Sex...and what I've been told!

"Cathouse" is the HBO series on the Mustang Ranch. But then I like Hidden Valley Ranch better...

I broke my "Idol" habit a couple seasons ago, but am hooked again. There's some strong talent in both groups, but more plentiful on the ladies' side.

And speaking of their talent... Think I heard that one of the gals had done a little modeling au natural. True?

Yup, 'tis true. But the alleged pics of her giving a sex act are NOT in fact her.

ROFL!!!!!!!!

My wife and I had the same discussion a couple weeks ago! Nice to know we aren't crazy.

This year American Idol will definitely be a girl; only a couple of the guys deserve to go to the final 12. Shame.

cmy330go

Yea.....The guys suck this year.

bobman1235

Agreed.

[shameless plug]Here are my opinions of tonight's performances

Read your blog, Bob. I agree with your assessment.

See? I plugged your blog too.

Toxis

I agree except for Phil. I thought he was a lil off in the middle but overall, I really liked it. He's definitely my second fav male singer (just behind Chris) this year. To bad that's not saying much because they all suck ****.

That's a shame because then you missed last year and that group was VERY talented. At least 4 people got recording contracts out of last year's season and I'm told that a 5th is in the works right now. They deserved it. Last season was anybody's game and I think it's the reason the judges are so down on this year's group.

Only about 3 people have the raw talent needed to win and they are all girls. Two guys, maybe three guys have the image that is needed but the talent isn't has good as the girls. Overall it doesn't matter though. This is a popularity contest and the only reason I watch it after the first few weeks of auditions is because the wife likes it so I tape to fast forward through the crappy parts (i.e.: most of the show). Otherwise I watch it for Simon. He's not so entertaining himself but watching the reactions to the singers who get the truth told to them is pretty amusing. Granted Simon lacks tact at times and tries too hard to be funny but he's pretty much spot on with the assessments. The contestants though, they get that look of being constipated while whatching somebody shoot thier dog. Then they try to be witty and so few actually are. Then Seacrest comes in with his tripe and they all hold up thier fingers showing us they know how to count and well...it's just amusing.

It's very rare when I disagree with Simon. In fact he usually just says exactly what the wife and I have been screaming at the television while Paula and Randy gush unabashedly over what was a dreadful performance.
Like, hate him or loathe him -- his assessments are generally right on the money.

And here's a drinking game for you...

Take a shot every time Randy starts out by saying "Yo Dawg, you know why I like you?"

Ladies did well tonight. Melinda Doolittle once again stole the show.

bobman1235

I can't effing believe that Sanjaya is in the top 12, but friggin Sundance has to go home. If there was a video on YouTube of Sanjaya being hit by a Mac truck, I would watch it over and over again. Goddamn it, America is so stupid sometimes.

*agreed*

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa:D

I loved it when Simon was asked what happened (Sundance going home and Sanjaya stayed) Simon said "the volume was turned down?" too funny

TN_Polk_Lover

Anyone know what Simon's sexual orientation is? The only reason I ask is that I have noticed this year, and in past years, there will be a good looking guy that Randy and Paula don't like that much and Simon will disagree and say that he likes him. And he will often comment about the guy being "good looking".

I mentioned it to my wife and then she started noticing it also. Just curious if anyone else feels this way, or am I reading too much into it?

here is his roomate

wingnut4772

He's just commenting on their marketability really.

Toxis

^exactly.

Plus, Haley? I literally said when she started singing "Who's she? There's a new addition?" Then Simon backed me up by saying "I don't remember your name." Thank you! Not saying the other girl would've gone farther but she's better than the Ms. America looking chick. Haley really makes me think pageant queen who's talent is singing. Sure she's good, but not that good. Go home!

Sanjaya has a voice, he just can't perform. Sundance needed to go home after his horrible rendition of Jeremy. Great singer, horrible performance and that's all America needed to not vote for him. Plus, Sanjaya has all the 14 year old girls rooting for him.

Thank you America for sending the no talent **** of Antonella Barba home. Thank you.

I honestly think Sanjaya's presence in the top 12 is due to the same issue they had with Jasmine Trias a few years ago. As you may recall she was the underdog/under-talented Hawaiian girl that kept squeaking by each week. Even Simon made the comment that it was her home state's and families' votes keeping her alive. If I had to guess Sanjaya is riding on the same wave of votes. Except this time it is a large extended family and an entire race of individuals that are viewed as underdogs in this country.

bobman1235

I think Toxis is probably closer with the "14-year olds" voting for him. There's a HUGE 13-17 year girl viewership that watches Idol, and they all probably think he's "cute", so he's in.

Holydoc

Read your blog again, Bob. I really do like it.

Ricardo

Great show last night. I didn't get though the "no one leaves" part....it seems to me that someone didn't like the fact that Jordin got the least amount of votes and made up this thing of adding the votes for this and next week.....
I agree Jordin should not leave (IMO she should win), but it just does not feel right...who decides which participant gets a second chance?????
