So there are many of you who loyally watch these shows and, like me, make continual comments to the television whether anyone else is in the room or not. Alternately, there are many of you who do not have the time to keep up with reality TV – there are too many shows, your tivos runneth over, you have kids and can’t remember what it’s like to watch anything beyond Dora the Explorer (you know who you are) – but you also want to be “in the know.” That’s fine. Let me help you understand.

American Idol Elimination: White Flag

On Tonight's episode of American Idol, we will say goodbye to another contestant while hoping JLo takes the stage in an entire outfit. Well, we're close...JLo's ensemble is of the same length this evening, but at least her lower half is in shorts...so the guys standing near the stage are less likely to have a heart attack. Anywho, here are the highlights from the episode.
 
P squared! Idol welcomed back previous winner Phillip Phillips tonight. Woohoo! He's getting ready to release his second album and he performed his new song "Raging Fire" and I'm very thankful. It's not that I don't love "Home" and "Gone, Gone, Gone"...I've just been so ready to hear something new from Phillip on the radio. Plus, he's just so darn cute. We got the full blown P squared performance though, complete with the legs going crazy, strained forehead vein and the tight, shrugging shoulder moves. I really could have turned off the TV right when "Raging Fire" ended and felt 100% satisfied with the evening. Love him.
 
Results! Sam, Ben and Jessica found their way to safety first...with Emily making her way to the stools of doom. Dexter, Majesty and Alex breathed a sigh of relief next, and Jena unhappily joined Emily in the danger zone. Caleb, Malaya and C.J. were the final contestants to make it through to next week, and MK found herself in familiar territory in the bottom 3. Ryan announced that Jena is safe and it came down to MK and Emily. Ultimately...Emily was eliminated and the judges did not use their save.
 
This is another one of those situations where someone was sent home too early. Her rendition of "Stars" for the save was actually pretty good, but the risk she took singing a JLo song last night, with only a fraction of JLo's energy, was not a good call. Now MK lives to perform another week and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will rise to the occasion when the Top 11 storm the stage again. Third time's the charm? We'll find out soon. Til then!
