American Idol Season 7

Well, last night’s bottom three was a little different than what I had expected.  By this point, I figured Kristy Lee Cook was going to stick around for a few more weeks.  Those pity votes can sure add up so there is no telling what could have happened. 

 The contestants were split up into two groups last night.  On the left - Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White and Syesha Mercado.  On the right - David Cook, Carly Smithson and Jason Castro.  This left David Archuleta in the middle of the stage and Ryan asked for him to head over to the group that he thinks is safe this week. 

 Why on Earth do the producers do this manuever every season?  The contestant thrown in the middle is always the clear Idol favorite to win.  Not to mention that every time they pull this stunt the contestant left to choose a side always refuses to do it.  It’s just unethical if you ask me.  Anyhow… David plops right down in the middle of the stage to show that he’s not willing to pick sides.  Good for him!

So the bottom three this week ended up being Kristy, Brooke and Syesha.  Then Syesha was sent back to safety and things got emotional.  I was all but waiting for Brooke White to get the axe so I was pretty nervous.  Ryan went to the judges to ask if America had gotten it right to which Simon very bluntly said that Kristy has got to go (he said it a little meaner than that though!).  Brooke seemed offended by his remark about Kristy and got upset.  The two girls clung to each other - it almost seemed as if Kristy assumed she was safe and was consoling Brooke. 

And then - the SHOCK!  Kristy Lee Cook is GONE!  Who would have guessed!

She was upset but before she left she sang “Forever” practically right in Simon’s lap.  Well, she sat at the judges desk and sang it straight to Simon.  It was her way of getting back at him for the rude comment he made.  I guess she was trying to shove her talent in his face?  Who knows.  Either way, she’s finally off the show.  Amen.
