American Idol 8 / Semifinals week 3 / Results

Dudes! The new season of America’s Next Top Model is on at the same time as this results show. I’m like a happy little piggy, rolling around in reality TV slop.

Recaps, group sings, and other things are utterly fast-forwardable. At 17 minutes in, Seacrest has Lil Rounds stand up, and immediately sends her to the top 12. I do applaud them for changing it up every week. Lil sings, then we get straight into results again. Arianna, Taylor, Alex, Kendall and Scott all stand up; one of them is in the top 12. After the break, they get their recaps and are shot down one by one, until it’s down to Kendall and Scott. Unsurprisingly, Scott is the one sent through to the top 12.

Commercials, then it’s Nathaniel and Kristin. Neither of them, of course, made it. Then we skip over Ju’not and Jorge, and go to Felicia and Von (I want to type that “Vaughan”). They get their recaps, and like the two before, their butts go right back to the couch. Then Seacrest calls Ju’not and Jorge center stage, and with 20 minutes left in the show, announces Jorge as the third person moving to the top 12.

Now, says Seacrest, let’s get to the wild card show. There’s a group upstairs from the previous two weeks, and some of tonight’s rejects may be included. Let’s find out after the break!

Post-break, we’re re-introduced to the 9 finalists so far. From the crowd upstairs, the judges will select eight people to come back TOMORROW NIGHT to sing again. The picks are: Von Smith, Jasmine Murray, Ricky Braddy, Megan Joy Corkrey, Tatiana Del Toro, Matt Giraud, Jesse Langseth, and Anoop Desai.

Jorge sings us out. Man, now I have to do a recap of tomorrow night! I checked the TiVo to make sure it’s all set. Looks like a mere 1-hour performance show, which is a welcome length.
