Less Idol = More Better

Improper grammar on purpose…chill!

CNN.com tells me…

Fox executives said they were disappointed with the ratings declines for “American Idol” this season, and will cut back the Wednesday results show to 30 minutes.

That’s fantastic news. The End.

Going without…

So, last night was crappy. I got home and went to check my email and change my away status to “i hate running” before I started my new running kick (which may not last long because just like last time, I HATE IT). My internet was down. Normally it has to do with the USB wireless adapter that I have on my desktop, so I unplugged that and rebooted my computer. Still NOTHING. Um, let me check the modem and router in the other room. Reboot those. Nothing. So I turn on the televisions and none of them work. I get the message “This channel will be back shortly,” YEAH RIGHT!

Now, the account is in my roommates name and he wont be home till later, so I called the cable company myself and pretended to be him (no harm). They say there are no outages in the area. They can’t come to the house until Friday morning between 8am and noon (of course it has to be a weekday and a four hour window). Okay, that’s fine, but….Idol is on tonight. Criminal Minds. Top Chef. Ultimate Fighter! Tomorrow… Ugly Betty, Season Finale of Supernatural!

So I put in the calls to my dad and grandma to tape the episodes for me just in case they aren’t posted online. I managed to snag someone’s wireless for the night (temporarily, don’t freak) and I got my updates about Idol and my loss of Syesha. All was just fine. Except the running, that sucked.

And that was my night without cable and “my own” internet. :)

Top 3 –> Top 2 — :(

Syesha Mercado has been eliminated from American Idol. Top Three! Not bad for someone who has been in the bottom two too many times to count. Not bad for the contestant that the judges never wanted to compliment. Not bad for the contestant that a majority of the viewing audience disliked. Not bad for my crush. :)

Syesha Mercado has come a long way and I am happy that she made it to top three against so much adversity in the American Idol public. Ha.

I fear that she might fall into the traps of a lot of the third place contestants. Shall I mention Melinda Doolittle (no album yet), Vonzell Solomon (no record deal), Nikki McKibbin (sucked), Kimberley Locke (mild success), etc. If she didn’t have that many fans voting for her, who will buy her album. Either way, my fingers are crossed.

Thanks to those who came to comfort me about my “loss”. Fortunately, I knew it was coming!

To Erica…She doesn’t suck! Get over it! just kidding.
