The nine finalists chosen so far include 1 black girl, 1 Latino girl, 1 Latino guy, 1 white girl, and 5 white guys. So it's unlikely that another white guy will be added by the judges. The most likely picks are Anoop and two girls.

I can't imagine they would be filming 24/7. Too distracting. Just enough behind the scenes footage to let the personalities shine through.

There is something about Jesse I really really REALLY donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t like.

For me, as silly as it sounds, it’s the way she pronounces her “s” when she sings – it’s more like a “sh”. I know lots of singers do it, but it bugs me every time. To me it’s an annoying affectation. I might be able to get over it if she didn’t also have an attitude that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe she’ll make top 12 and change my mind.

Last night I finally put my finger on what Lil lacked, it is humility.

I hope he comes out and kills it and totally justifies his fans' wanting him to be brought back. IMO, it's ridiculous that he didn't make it to the top 12 from his group to begin with. But although he sang really well, he picked a boring song. Here's hoping he doesn't do the same thing tonight, or I'm going to seriously question his song-picking skills. I'd like for Jesse and Ricky to make it, but I don't think they will. So I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll settle with being pleasantly surprised if they do. The only one I really DON'T want to make it (besides Tatiana, who doesn't even bear mentioning because I am SICK of her crazy shit) is Matt G.oat (tm someone completely awesome, though I have no idea who). I don't think he deserved to be brought back in the first place after massacring that Coldplay song in his group of 12. I was on the fence about him til that night, and with that horrible, horrible performance, he shoved me right off onto the other side.

I've heard that they usually have 1 day off a week and evenings off. They're SUPPOSE to have a curfew but many sneek out to go out on the town and party. So they do have a LITTLE free time to relax and blow off steam. Now, if the show plans to have cameras on them 24/7, it would be like they were at work 24/7.

It's not so much big brother as more showing the contestants doing things or talking about each other. Pretty cheesy but inoffensive and I'd say more interesting than viewer call ins.
