American Idol Season 10 Recap: Top 8

American Idol Top 8
Precious.

Every week, another contestant goes home. Isn’t it beautiful?

But this week (and probably every coming week for the rest of the season) is a real nail-biter. WHO WILL LEAVE US? It’s such a tough call, everyone left is really good. However, some of them – err, one of them is not someone anyone should like. Guess who?

Here we go…

American Idol Season 10 Recap: Top 9

American Idol Top 9

Oh, what a week. The worst singers in the world were finally voted off American Idol last week, and the whole of humanity in possession of functioning ears could not be happier.

Now that we’re down to the Top 9, we have a little predicament: the remaining contestants are all pretty good. No one induced ear bleeding during last night’s performance… So who will go home? Nobody knows.

After last week’s emotional results show, I cannot wait for tonight’s eliminations. It’s my birthday, so I positively DEMAND that things go my way tonight. There will be TWO contestants going home, and I’m so nervous, I could puke.

Rosie O’Donnell Gets Her OWN Show — As One Monster Dies, Another is Born

Rosie O'Donnell Show

Sadly, The Oprah Winfrey Show will come to an end on May 25. I ain’t mad at that!

You know what I am mad at? – The Oprah Winfrey Network has given a new show to the grossest, most repulsive female person on the planet: Rosie O’Donnell. Gross.

A Rosie O’Donnell Show? God Help Us All

Does anyone really want to hear Rosie harp on and on about her lame opinions? NO.

If anyone wanted to hear her speak, Rosie Cheeks wouldn’t have been booted off of The View.

Duh.  Fail, fail, fail.  Obviously, the Harpo homies had to ensure that Oprah’s “replacement” was fatter, uglier, and louder than Oprah, so as to make everyone miss Oprah even more, thus serving her ever-enlarging ego.

This new show will be filmed on the exact same soundstage at Harpo Studios (in Chicago), as The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Rosie’s New Show Has Approximately One Person Excited

About this new show, Rosie said:

“It’s a huge thrill for me, and I’m beyond the beyond.”

Well, of course she’s thrilled, it’s the only real job she’s had in years. To make matters worse, Rosie is already set to do at least 130 episodes. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY!!!! Good god, pray help us through these dark, dark days.

The one comforting fact in all of this, is that Rosie’s show will not be on network TV, it will be on Oprah’s cable network OWN, which is only viewed by Oprah’s lame body of fans.

All I can say is, Thank GOD I don’t live in Chicago.

Fwends?

This show is torturous. Every week, viewers die a little more inside. At least we have J.Lo’s gorgeous-ness to comfort us as we lay dying.
