Oh yes, another week where those who sucked the hardest are sticking around, while the person who had a mildly off-night, but is usually not too bad, gets bounced. Don’t worry, I’m not going to go off on another rant about how I can’t understand why folks are voting for the personality-challenged, but I really can’t.

Whatever. As usual, Ryan brought the bottom three contestants onto the stage; the first two being Phil Stacey and Haley Scarnato. And I was hopeful, because they both deserved to be there. Then Ryan passed over Sanjaya (no suprise) and told Chris Sligh he was joining the Super Bland Duo onstage. Chris looked like he knew it would be him, but I had my fingers crossed even after Phil (and his ridiculous tilted railroad conductor hat) was sent back to safety.

Haley ended up being safe, and Chris’s mission of “Bringing Chubby Back” was sent down the shitter. He sang that Police song from last night again, and actually sounded much better, walking up to each Idol contestant and giving them a hug. He also accused Phil of owing him fifty bucks. Cocaine, you think? Or maybe crack? Mmmm, I dunno, Phil looks like a pill-popper to me. Probably trucker speed.
