OH...NURSE!

I can't hold out any longer. My need to discuss Idol far outweighs the temptation to wait until the top 10 start dropping like flies. In fact, we're down to the Top 10 now, so technically, the con is back on and it's Idol time!!!! Let's discuss... Come on people - you know there've been requests... The persy emails have been flying. The phone calls, endless.

OK, not exactly what you'd call having a life, but Idol fans are Idol fans. And Idol haters are Idol fans too - they just don't know it yet. Or else won't admit it - especially if they know who the contestants are. It takes more than a passing glance at People to know who's who...

So The Nurse is gone. And, in all likelihood, forgotten. Maybe she'll live the dream and sell out that bar in Lafayette. Doubtful, but maybe. My bet is she's back on her Hog, hopefully ditching the Morticia Adams' extensions and waiting for Rockstar's return.

Meanwhile, we were treated to the new 'n improved Kelly Pickler. God bless her. She knew how to work her 15 episodes of fame. New hair, new face, new boobs. New life. Being stupid was brilliant. Best. Career. Move. Ever. More than having a parent in prison (Pickler's Pops). Better than a newborn baby (last year's Baldy. With the hat.) Even a dying/dead father couldn't sompete (Asiah...Who? Exactly!) Now the Pickled One's giving it her all, channeling La Parton and going on tour. And she didn't even need to change her name!!!! Somehow I can't see the Nurse having the same luck. Or making it for herself.

Which is a shame, 'cuz I kinda liked her. I did!! I was pumped to see the back of Kristy Non-descripty. No, pervs, not in that way. I hate a country gal. Sorry, but it's true. And yet, she survives another week.

I must say, I'm not all that surprised. You know my theory: we need someone to hate to make Idol all the more watchable. Let's face it, Beatles Week 2 didn't slay us in the aisles, did it? But when you've got a lame duck around threatening the good 'uns... Hell - that's good tv!! That's why VoteForTheWorst.com is necessary - keeps the voters on their toes and f&cks with all of us. Who doesn't love a bit of outrage - remember Jennifer Hudson? Voted off before her time and look at her now. Or Daughtry, nee Chris Daughtry: early to leave, early to score. I can see that happening with Rocker Dave. Or Irish Carly.

(Aside: Is my mind playng tricks on me, or she morphing into Boy George?Fat Felon version?)

But back to the blonde. The tomboy/horsey one, Kristy Mc-Whatsit. If she sticks around, we'll be stuck with more country-lite versions of songs we'll never love again. Par for the course, of course. And, sure, there'll be the morning-after-the-night-before watercooler convo. And on-line outrage.

But I shall leave you with one last thought. One last thing to make you giggle and hope she does stick around, sticking it to her talented brothers and sisters.

She's gonna "blow Simon out of his socks".

Need I say more?

All I can think about is that she is going to be on the tour rather than the nurse! How brutal is that tour? She reminds me of the crooning red head - whatever his name was - who was shocked every week when he kept making it through and better people kept leaving. Whitey chick knows she sucks, just like him, which is what makes it worse!!!! I think she's the girl next-door that everyone wants to corrupt (read screw). Hopefully she'll end up with a sex tape and everyone's fantasies can move on and we can be rid of her for good!!!!
