David A’s mom is a mail order bride. lol.

Didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t Jordin sing first during top 3? I thought she broke the curse.

She did, yes. A whole truckload of patterns were broken last year, apparently.

Anyway, I still don’t think KLC deserved to go home (not that I ever liked Kristy, but she was definitely building up). I was waiting for the paramedics to come once Brooke got the boot, but hopefully the scare will bring her back to her senses and she can make a comeback the way KLC did. That said, I doubt she’s going to last much longer anyway. The girls all seem next in line for the boot (*trying to ignore the stupid boy-girl-boy pattern right here in hopes that Jason will dodge the freaking bullet*).

Kristen, your mind with numbers is amazing. That is a VERY interesting coincidence there between ChrisD and DavidA.

I’d sell my 8-yr-old son to hear Cookie to do All I Ask of You from Phantom.

Chris D: 6-10-2-12-4-6-7-4-1
David A: 6-10-2-12-3-8-6-7-1

Freaky! So when is Archie’s next pimp spot then?

I think Jason or David C will have to go first next week. DC has only gone early in the performance order once in the top 12, so it should be him, IMO. I hope he opens the show with an awesomely memorable “Heaven on Their Minds.”

Maybe Archuleta will be the OMG! Shocking! Boot! at #4. We shall see.

Has Brooke had the pimp spot at all yet? If not, I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s her turnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

Everybody remaining in the competition has gone last at least once. Carly has gone the longest without being last (she was last on Top 12 girls night…Final 24). Syesha is next longest (last on Top 8 girls night). Brooke had the pimp spot last week.

Jason and David C are the only remaining contestants who have never gone first. 33% of the contestants remaining have never gone first. They should abolish going first (Monday mornings and Friday afternoons). LOL. When was the last time somebody went so deep in the competition with never going first?

Melinda was the last one last year to sing first and that was on Final 8 night. Jordin never sang first during the finals, but she did sing first during the semis. In Season 5, Chris D first went first on Final 7 night and Elliott first went first on Final 5 night. Hmmm…maybe I’ll have to figure this out for all 7 seasons.

Something I just noticed:

Chris D: 6-10-2-12-4-6-7-4-1
David A: 6-10-2-12-3-8-6-7-1

I’m sensing a pattern here.

Misc. thoughts from last night’s show:

1. Group number was the worst of the season – were they off-key, or did it sound like that because my hearing has been permanently damaged by too many loud concerts through the years? (eta: only when they sang as an entire group – not each person’s solo, those were good).

2. Jason – give David Cook back his shirt.

3. Cookie – return Jason’s shirt to him immediately, and NEVER wear it again.

4. Elliott – he has come a LONG way since his days on AI – he was so charismatic, sounded great. Really enjoyed him.

5. Was Mariah’s song really appropriate for elimination night? (BYE, BYE??!!).

6. Was anyone else worried about Mariah’s dress? It got shorter the longer she sang.

7. I was a bit surprised at the group breakdown at first. I thought for a second that Jason was in the B3. Glad to see he’s still there. He looked hawt last night, but that’s because of #2 above.

Does anyone remember how they handle eliminations night when they get to the final 6? If they break them down by groups of 3, there is a 50% chance that each person will be B3. I can’t remember.

Kristy leaving was not a major shocker and see her in country music. I wonder if American Idol will lose the country fans and how next week will go?
