Well, I'm out.

So I might as well go all scorched-earth on this shit.

Hey, thanks, Idol and Usher, for proving to me that you can still sound off-pitch while using Auto-Tune. Way to go, Bruce Gowers, for cutting away from Michael at the exact moment that he started tossing Seacrest around like a belligerent frat boy with a fake ID; that Emmy of yours was surely well-earned. And screw you, Sean Combs. Once you demand your FIFTH GODDAMN NAME CHANGE, you go back to where you started and you stay there.

That's right, I said it.

I knew this was coming. Is is incredibly deserved.

Also, contestants who perform 2nd out of 10 on a two-hour show keep getting eliminated for a reason. But just to be sure, maybe test that theory and throw Tim in there next week?

What a cringe-inducing experience that entire farrago was. I'm still trying to deconstruct the cutaway shot of Michael picking up Ryan. We saw just enough to make it look incredibly embarrassing, and then a clumsy cutaway, evidently in a belated attempt to preserve Ryan's dignity. Which made it even more incredibly embarrassing. Someone could write a whole thesis on the various meanings behind that mess.

I just want to credit myself for telling someone almost immediately, "We are in for another explosion of anger from Marc about Bruce Gowers."
