Elimination Night 4/27

By Michele

I'm feeling a little under the weather tonight. No, a LOT under the weather. I won't be live blogging the elimination show tonight, but I opened this up so you can discuss it here in the comments if you want.

If Scott gets voted off, I'll show up later to celebrate.

Ok, I took some Excedrin Migraine. I guess I'll hang out.

Interesting......Carrie and Bo together. Could Vonzell be in the bottom three? Anthony with Vonzell. Hmmm.....Let's hope Scott heads over to that side after the break. I hate to see Vonzell in the bottom three, though. She doesn't deserve that. Should be Constantine, Scott and Federov going ahead of her.

Carrie and Bo in the top group and..........HOLY FUCK. Scott is NOT in the bottom three. I hate you, America. I hate every last one of you who voted for Scott. WTF is wrong with you?

Pleased to see Connie the Smarmy get a nice dose of humility. But, still. I don't want to see Vonzell go. YAY she's safe!!!

It's gotta be Federov. I know Constantine's performance last night sucked big ass, but Federov hasn't had a great performance ANY night.

Who? Who is voting for Scott? And who dumped chlorine into your gene pool?


WOW. WOW. I am not a Constantine fan by any stretch of imagination but, holy hell, Federov got more votes than him?? This is insane.

Paula is CRUSHED. I am laughing at her right now.

So, who thinks the show is rigged?

Ha, laughing at Ian: Nickelback is fatal. Heh.

OHmygod, Paula is hysterical. Somebody just kill her now. Her life is worthless.

We miss you, Michele. Get well soon.

You didn't miss that hideous group song, did you? Do you feel better now that it stopped?

Posted by: Tanya at April 27, 2005 09:09 PM

Oh that was truly painful

Roommate: Creative methods to draw things out. That is what this show is all about.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:13 PM

Glad the Idols won't form an actual group. BLAH!

Posted by: Solomon at April 27, 2005 09:16 PM

There is no justice.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:20 PM

Holy shit! Smarmy's in the bottom 3 over SAVOL?

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:20 PM

yea look at Fatty Fatty 2X4 laugh it up .... ass ... I cant believe he's in the top 3 and Vonzell is in the bottom

Posted by: Caryss at April 27, 2005 09:21 PM

ok that made me feel a LITTLE better!

Posted by: Caryss at April 27, 2005 09:21 PM

Wow. Vonzelle got more votes than Constantine.

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:22 PM

Anthony's goin' home...unless the teenage girl brigade didn't mobilize last night.

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:23 PM

I think this show is rigged...

Posted by: James at April 27, 2005 09:23 PM

I cannot BELIEVE that America keeps tolerating Scott, week after week. YUCK!

On a happier note, at least they're not sending Bo home tonight. That, and only that, gives me a measure of hope.

I hope you feel better, Michele!

Posted by: kelley at April 27, 2005 09:24 PM

I knew Scott would be fine, but I'm juts glad the Vonz is safe. I won't miss either of these two.

Posted by: Tanya at April 27, 2005 09:25 PM

Okay...how the hell can Scott be safe tonight? Everyone who's voting for that fat, stupid untalented HACK should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't give a flying you-know-what if he has a friggin' sob story, the man quite simply cannot friggin' sing!

Posted by: Slublog at April 27, 2005 09:25 PM

What?!

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

RAWWWK!!!!!

Posted by: Tanya at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

You can say shit on this blog. We use worse words all the time.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

Wow!

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

Okay, that almost makes up for it.

Posted by: Slublog at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

I am in shock. The Smarm-master is gone!

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

I mean just wow...

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

I think Paula is upset she doesn't have any more opportunities to blow him.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:26 PM

Nickelback is fatal. Who knew?

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:27 PM

Wow , Paula's boyfriend got voted off

Posted by: istvan at April 27, 2005 09:27 PM

I thought Scott would go home LONG before smouldering eyes of death.

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:28 PM

If it couldn't be Scott, at least it was the other one I can't stand. Yay!

Posted by: Kathleen at April 27, 2005 09:28 PM

I vote for rigged.

Whenever Simon gets tired of insulting someone, they get kicked off.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:28 PM

this is messed up. while im not a big fan of constantine he should still be there over federov and definitely over scott. i agree with slublog. forget that he beat his wife, forget that hes fat .. whatever. HE HAS NO TALENT! And his cocky arrogance is getting on my nerves. If you look at his reaction when he's found to be safe or when someone goes home, I want to spit at my tv.

Posted by: Caryss at April 27, 2005 09:29 PM

Don't tell me Scott is better then Constantine


Scott couldnt even sang the Bee Gee song

Posted by: istvan at April 27, 2005 09:29 PM

kat: that's a problem, because if Simon's like me there's no getting tired of insulting Scott.

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:29 PM

Damn, Ian, you're right.

Fuck.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:31 PM

If he sang it that way last night he may have done better.

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:31 PM

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! ONce again, kicked dad off his own computer to come here and celebrate! Ding dong, the smarm-king is dead!

Posted by: Faith at April 27, 2005 09:31 PM

I'm not sure I can watch anymore. I hated Constantine, but really can't take Scott anymore. I just can't.

I mean, really, who the hell is voting for this jackass? God help us all if he makes it to the top two.

Posted by: Slublog at April 27, 2005 09:32 PM

Faith, I am laughing so hard right now. Thank you.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:33 PM

I don't understand - who is voting for Scott? This is ridiculous!

Posted by: Mary at April 27, 2005 09:33 PM

I don't understand - who is voting for Scott?

Crack-addicted monkeys with Singulair?

Posted by: Slublog at April 27, 2005 09:34 PM

So much for my Magic 8 Ball -- I guess I need a new one.

As for who's voting for Scott, I sent this out to the posters here earlier. This came directly from the message boards at idolonfox.com...

"The VFTW club has Scott as their choice to vote for.....But fact is fact. They have huge VFTW parties at various campus's and they all powervote for two hours. This week, they are voting stronger than ever because people are trying to get them taken down and stopped."

Apparently, VFTW is the "vote for the worst" club:

Boyfriend: I think he and Paula are going to have a reality show. That's the whole reason for this show.

Posted by: kat at April 27, 2005 09:36 PM

Wow. I had no idea ... VFTW club should be taken down - how do we do it?

Posted by: Mary at April 27, 2005 09:39 PM

Crap, I meant Cingular.

Posted by: Slublog at April 27, 2005 09:40 PM

There's got to be some sort of organized movement to keep Scott up there. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was some bloggers who were just spoofing the rest of us...nahhhhhhhhhhhhh...that would be silly.

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:40 PM

That VFTW thing is just wrong. Almost as wrong as that Photoshop Michele posted earlier this evening.

Posted by: Ian S. at April 27, 2005 09:41 PM

And I guess if I read Robyn's post I'd have a clue...clue by four to go please.

Posted by: Timmer at April 27, 2005 09:41 PM

Timmer, see my comment just a few up from yours. There is an organized movement, and it's here:

Posted by: robyn at April 27, 2005 09:42 PM

heh...I'm laughing at this. I'm very surprised that Constantine got the boot over Federov and Savol. Glad to see Bo is safe. I'm still in denial that Nadia was booted a few weeks ago.

I must say though that as a fat guy, I'm amused to see all the anti-fat hatred in here. Savol has an 'OK' voice, but since he's fat- he must go. Too funny.

Posted by: Randy at April 27, 2005 09:44 PM

bq. I'd say it was some bloggers who were just spoofing the rest of us...nahhhhhhhhhhhhh...that would be silly.

No, we only do that on radio shows. (insert winking smiley face thing here)

Posted by: michele at April 27, 2005 09:44 PM

Randy, read around the site a bit - that's not why most of us hate Scott. Not at ALL.

Posted by: michele at April 27, 2005 09:45 PM

Yay! Take that baby mama...smack!

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! Unbelievable to the nth degree. And I thought last year was bad (Latoya London leaving). WOW!

Posted by: Solomon at April 27, 2005 09:46 PM

We were just talking about that, Solomon. My daughter swore after LaToya got voted off last year that she would never watch the show again. Of course she has, and now she's crushed that Constantine left and she's swearing the show off again.

Posted by: michele at April 27, 2005 09:48 PM

Sorry, Randy. My inner 12-year-old came out in my anger.

I don't hate Scott because he's fat. I hate him because he acts like a jerkoff without the talent to justify it.

Oh, and he can't sing.

Posted by: Slublog at April 27, 2005 09:54 PM

Vote for the worst.com That is who is voting for him.

Posted by: Rusty at April 27, 2005 10:15 PM

Hmmm. I'm sure lots of preteen girls are, like Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive, are crying while masturbating over Connie tonight. Poor things. What is wrong with everyone? I admit that I hate Scott, but he was WORSE THAN EVER last night. I figured he had a cold or something. I felt sure he was outta there.

Let's hope that Wifebeater or Fievel Mousekewitz (Federov) goes next week. I have to admit that Fievel's parents were adorable on last night's interview though. "Our son is American dream." They were very sweet.

Posted by: Abby at April 27, 2005 10:50 PM

Damn. Missed the show again. I can't believe I forgot this was on tonight. :( At last, Smarmy goes.

Posted by: nastybastard at April 27, 2005 11:39 PM

Scott can sing, he has good vocals if you'd listen and quit concentrating on how he looks and acts. Nevermind that he VERY WELL could be an idiot, it's beside the point - AI is about who can sing and win the competition. (but of course we all know that the best singers do not always win so go figure) My vote: Carrie, she has the best singing voice.

Posted by: Carrie at April 27, 2005 11:59 PM

I actually cracked a beer open in honor of Constantine leaving us... me and my husband gave me a high five. I really think others deserved to leave us much more... but damn I'm glad I never have to see another kick into the camera.... omg was that atrocious... just thinking about it makes me want another beer....ugh

Posted by: Diane at April 28, 2005 12:16 AM

So, who thinks the show is rigged?

Well, technically. Yeah. :/ I have a contract from season 3.. since I was lame and auditioned. And it says something to the effect of "Fox and 19 entertainment ltd. reserve the right to choose the outcome of the show". Which would explain why Scott still hasn't gone home yet.

I agree that Constantine hasn't been a favorite, but come on! Scott absolutely blew big, giant ones last night.

Posted by: Nikki at April 28, 2005 12:33 AM

On the West Coast I waited, hoping, hoping, hoping beyond all hopes that the chromosomally challenged contingent did not pull through. Damn! They didn't just pull through, they pulled ahead.
Constantine? Gone? Damn, I'd hit that smarmy smouldering thang!

Actually though if there is a contingent voting for the worst, I'd like to join it. Ever since they canned LaToya last year and Nadia this year, I believe the show blows.
But like a damn train wreck, I watch it every effin week.

AAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!!

Posted by: Mel at April 28, 2005 12:39 AM

Nikki--is that for real-about the contract? I mean this is bad. Scott is horrible, and I can't believe he is really pulling in all these votes. What is really going on?

Posted by: Karen at April 28, 2005 01:02 AM

JUST KILL ME!!!!!!!! Punch me! I can't believe that Constantine left. I was runnign around the house screaming and yelling in m pillow. Like Constantine is my favorite and like hot!


WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: LuverUvAmericanIdol at April 28, 2005 01:26 AM

Karen -- Yes, totally for real. When I signed the contract (which also has a clause saying that it's okay for the producers to humiliate you/your image, should they see fit :/ ) to audition, I cringed a little bit.. but I thought it would be fun. My theory is that they're starting to shape the outcome a little bit.. and.. they're humiliating Scott by showing off his horrendous range each week?

Luver -- It's a TV show; life goes on.

Posted by: Nikki at April 28, 2005 01:55 AM

Thanks, Nikki. So what are your predictions? And- is there any point in voting? I wore my finger out last night voting for Vonzelle.

Posted by: Karen at April 28, 2005 02:04 AM

Nikki, I'd be interested in seeing the exact language of the contract that you are referring to.

I'd wager that the clause has to do with the fact that Fox has control over the content of the show, not the outcome...meaning they can choose what portion of auditions, interviews, etc. will be used and how they will be edited.

The idiotic Constanteenyboppers are actually filing FCC ("FFC") complaints about his being voted off! BWAHAHAHAHA

Posted by: Beth at April 28, 2005 03:13 AM

I actually thought Constantine's performance was ok. Granted, I've never heard that Nickelback song (what's the name of the song, btw?), but I didn't think this should have been his week.

Funny, I had no idea people felt... this strongly about who stays and who goes. Ah well.

Posted by: Fox at April 28, 2005 03:56 AM

Also, I thought Scott would have been going home tonight. There just was nothing special about his performance. Sounds like he tries too hard to stay in tune sometimes. I'm not sure of the musical term for it, but it's annoying (to me, anyway) when his voice kinda resonates soft notes.

If anyone understood what the hell I just said, I shall give you a cookie! :p

Posted by: Fox at April 28, 2005 04:00 AM

No. I think what happened is that we underestimated the voters. Constantine has been such an obvious whore all along, vamping shamelessly. Rose and I were sick of him all along and were sure the only reason he'd be staying was all those teeny bopper girls (and their moms who never grew up).

Simon pegged it--he went over to the dark side and when he tried to go back to being no one liked it. The teeny boppers were disappointed when he tried to "get real" and the rest of us weren't buying it when he tried to go back to being an "authentic rocker."

Scott also gets sympathy votes because so many people hate him.

It balanced out.

Posted by: Dean Esmay at April 28, 2005 08:55 AM

I'll give you the "obvious whore" plug, Dean but if you analyze Constantine a little more closing, he's like some of those 70s rock/pop/jazz guys (Gino Vannelli) he did a little of everything and had a cult following. But was hated by alot of folks. He has his niche. But Scott was way worse. Singing a Luther Vandross song WITHOUT emotion is an instant loss of cool points.

Posted by: Solomon at April 28, 2005 09:10 AM

In mourning for Smarmy here (sorry everyone, just another menopausal Constanteenybopper and yes, I should be ashamed). However, a real red mist descended when Seacrest did his odious Pamela Anderson leer. Seacrest was like the midget dweeb in the dorm sucking up to the Big Boys with dirty innuendo - I thought Pam parried his verbal grope with terrific grace. Also the real reason to loathe Scott is not his size, face or mawkish song choices - it's his cabbage patch doll in a rage personality. Gives me the absolute shivers.

Posted by: Jody Tresidder at April 28, 2005 09:13 AM

I'm begging you, someone, anyone please go over and disconnect the phone lines from the trailer parks. Those fuckers that think Scott can carry a tune are screwing it all up. Anthony may not be great but at least he won't take a switchblade to you. fucking fat no talent, off key singing white rash fat joe wanna be scott will do you all in.

Posted by: jen at April 28, 2005 09:40 AM

Now it's time to be real. Say Scott the White Trash King wins this whole thing. Do you really think he's going to have any type of real career? Simon is going to have a devil of a time trying to groom that fat fuck. I still don't know where Scott is going to get talent. Anyway, I digress. Give it a few years and you'll read about Scott getting arrested in a nightclub because he knifed a rapper. Him and Shyne will be sharing a cell.

Posted by: jen at April 28, 2005 09:44 AM

Amen, jen.
Just hope the rapper gets away with a flesh wound because Scott is only accustomed to plastic cutlery.

Posted by: Jody Tresidder at April 28, 2005 09:53 AM

Personally, I do not think Scott will win. I think that's what is meant in the Fox contract: if it came down to Scott and Carrie (God forbid!), they can change it to Carrie. I do not think it has been "rigged" (if at all) at this point. Who would get rid of Constantine, who (smarminess and all) has pop idol appeal, in favor of Scott, who does not? I thought Constantine was entertaining each week, and quite good on some weeks, but this week was horrendous! I couldn't watch OR listen to it, and then, they made him "sing" it again!! Yeah, let's have the eliminated contestant remind America again why they were eliminated by singing the offending song!! LOL!! I will miss Connie and his smarmy ways...he was fun to watch...

Posted by: Janet at April 28, 2005 10:23 AM

Hey look, Janet (I mean Mrs. Savol) is here..hee hee heee...

Posted by: jen at April 28, 2005 10:28 AM

Jen: I thought YOU were Mrs. Savol. Maybe Scott is a polygamist? (oops, just made myself nauseous)... ;-)

Posted by: Janet at April 28, 2005 10:41 AM

I confess I am. Keep your hands off my serial killing sausage fingered fat untalented rap listening ham with teeth and hair looking beer can swilling man before he throws a phone at me.

Posted by: jen at April 28, 2005 10:47 AM

You sound serious. I'd better back off. Maybe I can make Connie my love slave?

Posted by: Janet at April 28, 2005 10:59 AM

Why don't you two just get a room, already?

Posted by: michele at April 28, 2005 10:59 AM

The natives are restless and cranky today. Anywho, what's with that website where it encourages folks to vote for the worst contestant? It appears as if they might be the largest base of Scott backers

Posted by: jen at April 28, 2005 11:01 AM

OK, here we go. I shut the tv off as soon as I saw Constantine being cut. I was soo mad. He was my favorite. How and why are Anthony and Scott still on the show? Both are horrible!!! Why did Anwar get the boot last week? He is very talented!! Anthony is only getting the young girls who think he's cute and looks like a Backstreet Boy to vote for him. No comment on Scott. If BO or Carrie don't win I'm not watching next season. America wake up!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Jamie Augustyn at April 29, 2005 10:21 AM

I think it was rigged because of the ABC special which is going to point out that Paula groomed a contestant.. and that contestant was Constantine (clearly). It would make sense that the show thought they could neutralize the effect of the ABC show, or keep it from airing, if the idol accused of being groomed was no longer on the show. I don't think it is possible that he was voted off with all of the school girls voting for him.. and alot of those who thinks he has talent along with an ability to work with the cameras and speak to the audience with charisma (whether it is liked or not by all).

Posted by: Judy at May 1, 2005 04:51 PM

correct me if I'm wrong but I heard from somewhere online that constantine's votes WERE switched with scott's

Posted by: steph at May 1, 2005 06:39 PM

I heard Scott is a Texas Holdem Poker player.

Like hes already won several tournaments.

Is that true????????????

Posted by: Tom Hanson at May 3, 2005 11:17 PM

Why is everyone so down on Scott? What do you mean, he can't sing?? You're crazy! Obviously if he's made it this far, I'm right.
