So, the bottom 2 on Idol was no shock, and either of them could have had their exit to not much surprise. However, given his overall originality and unique voice, I was glad Blake stayed in. Overall, LaKiki has had a rougher go of it, so it was probably the right thing. I’m not sure what he’ll have to do next week to beat either of the two remaining. I think we have our final two, and he’s not going to be one of them. I do think, though, that he’ll get a record deal out of this. And probably one not as limiting as Idol’s would be, which will suit his unique sound better anyway - so well done, Blake, well done.

So, who’s it going to be? MindyDo…or Jordin? I think it’s a toss up, I really do. My vote goes for Melinda, but Jordin sure has a lovely career ahead of her, too. It’s win-win really, with this final three. I think they will all prosper from this.

Okay, so I caught up on Survivor - finally! Aaaand, Ha ha, Alex. Ha ha. Boy, was I sweating bullets on that one, though. Thank goodness Yau didn’t get clotheslined that go around. Will be realllllly interesting to see where it goes from here. With 6 left and only two shows, that tells me that more than three are going to the finals this year. Hunh.

I also watched the Amazing Race finale. Yeah, I could have just put that off for, oh, another season. Forever, really. Of the three final teams, I wasn’t all that enthused with any of them the way I was with Oswald and Danny, but of the three, in terms of game play, the team that won was the one I wanted to come in last. I would have had it BQ’s, Charla/Mirna (annoying, but they did really play the game), then Eric and Danielle (who, I honestly have no idea how they won.) So, really disappointing finish for me, but overall, otherwise, a good season. I will be there for the next one.

And in the Reality Show Withdrawal column…yay, the Pirate show starts the 31st!. I hear it’s way tougher than Survivor, so we’ll see if it’s something I stick with, but I’ll sure give it a shot. So, a dancing show and a survivor-like show…that’ll take up the slack nicely.

We get a winner tomorrow in the SHaQ Attack “Take A Black Sheep Home” contest. I’ll announce the winner in the morning..so you still have today to enter. See Monday’s blog for all the details!
