The lucky 13?

So the wild card show is over pretty much as we predicted. They took three out of the four people I thought they were going to take. You just know they had to load the dice like a college admission office.

Oh and mad props to the professor for pimping our recaps. I am expecting an Ann-a-lanhce today. I hope they like hot dogs.

Anyway the hippie girl Meghan who sang “The Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” pretty poorly if you ask me. But she is young and blond and despite Seacrest’s input they don’t want a total sausage fest. So they put her in for the young blond spot so there are two blonds.

They dropped batshit crazy Tatiana which is a shame. She could have went to the final four if the vote for the worst guys got behind. She sang the same song for the third time and was honest when she said she couldn't learn a new song in time for the show. Her final act rivaled the best of Jimmy Cagney death scenes. She went to her knees several times. Seacrest made a joke of it. But batshit craziness like that on display has been absent from the TV scene since Anna Nicole took a dirt nap. Paula was sweet to her because they might soon be in the same asylum. And it won't be the Soul Asylum.

In another diversity move they took Jasmine. She was also taken to have another black face because she really didn't sing that well. You remember her story. Her family was homeless and she was very poor so only about 14 or 15 of them could show up in designer clothing to all of her auditions. They showed her mom as she was up there finding out if she got through. It is kind of sick that the mom and dad of some of these guys are there. I mean I can understand with the 17 year olds. But some of these dudes are close to 30. It’s a function of the way things are that kids never grow up.This showing of the family gets old fast. Jasmine’s mom will have to make a trip to the wig store if they keep showing her in every show. Just sayn’

Then they took the piano playing dude who did a really shitty version of a Jackson Five song that he said he had done thousands of times. Well maybe he could of learned the fuckin’ words. He is only in because Kara wants to do him. Which is ok I guess, why should Paula get all the fun.

In a surprise move they kept Anup-dog the nerdy Indian dude from the University of North Carolina. He flirted with Kara who I guess is Duke Alum. I had to explain to my wife the college basketball rivalry aspect of the byplay. I wonder if they will show famous UNC alumni’s in his rooting section. Can’t you just see Michael Jordan sitting in the Green Room? No, me neither.

Hey what school did Eddie Curry go to?
