Idol: Bottom Two

Syesha and Jason await their fate, while Davids A. and C. are safe. Ryan noted earlier that the top three came within a million votes of each other (out of a total of almost 51 million), so to me that means Jason will be departing. (One person clearly came in dead last, in other words. Jason made many mistakes.)
Of course, I'm writing this without knowing the future, so I reserve the right to say, "Oops!" in an upcoming post.

I've been a devoted follower of AI since the first season. It's a very clever premise--putting a group of good looking young singers with a wide range of personalities and back stories in our homes for 5 months. We come to love some of them. We go to message boards to talk about them. We follow their every televised move. We download their songs. We vote for them every week. We almost feel like they are a part of our lives--and really, if we do all of the above things, then they kind of are. And then when they have to move on, it is sad--it's like losing a friend that you've come to know.

I'm not saying that everyone who watches the show gets this invested in it. But for many people, the above is what it is, and that's why it's still the number 1 show in the U.S.

Great post, Teresa. I agree completely.
