Tonight's Idol results' show was a one-hour affair.  The first half hour was just filler that allowed me to: wash the dishes, clean the bathtub, and then fold some laundry.  In the second half hour, we learned that the bottom three finalists were: Nadia Turner, Bo Bice, and Scott Savol.

I wasn't surprised that Scott and Nadia were in the bottom three.  I was mildly surprised that Bo was in there, even though last night's song wasn't exactly spectacular for him.  In the end, Nadia fell victim to a foolish choice of song, and was eliminated.  (I thought that Scott would have been the one going away this week.)

It was a bit shocking for me that two out of my three favorite contestants were standing on stage at the end of the show.  (At least Vonzell was safe!)

My wife had an interesting observation about Bo's recent ennui.  She speculated that Bo is possibly bored with the other contestants, with the grind, the show, and having to learn songs that he doesn't want to sing.  (This was pretty evident while watching him happily sing "Remedy.")  I predict that following a trip to the bottom two, Bo may kick it up a notch beginning next week.

Nadia wasn't going to win it all, so it seemed that tonight was her night to go away.  That's too bad.  She was good.

Scott... What are we going to do with that guy?  I am sure that his fans will hope that he'll kick it up a notch next week.

(I know I will vote next week.  I have kind of been negligent in that respect lately.)
