Amazing Race Finale Party Photos

My good friend Ken happens to be a past racer on "The Amazing Race." He invited me & Tom to join him at this season's finale party Sunday night!

We had a great time & saw lots of racers. Here are some of the photos - enjoy!

Special American Idol Report

Sanjaya's Hairstyles to date:


I'm not sure what he's going to come up with next... but I can think of a few styles that I would LOVE to see him try. My photoshopping skills are especially bad here (especially because I don't have photoshop,) but these mock-ups will hopefully give you an idea of what I'm talking about.


Hi-top Fade

If anybody can bring this back - it might be Sanjaya!

Cornrows

Wouldn't he be pretty?


Skullet

Let's hear it for the white-trash metal-lovers out there!

And they're out...

Ok, ok, ok - that's 2 extra ok's because I'm 2 weeks behind reporting the latest American Idol expulsions. Time to catch up!

SPOILER ALERT


Buh-Bye Brandon (2 weeks ago)

Sorry, buddy. Maybe "You Can't Hurry Love," but ya should have tried to hurry learning the words a little more. Forgetting lyrics is never a good strategy.

So Long Stephanie (last week)

This was sad because I thought she did really well. I guess the audience believed her when she sang "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" a little too much.

Ciao Fat Christian (last night)

I stopped being impressed with him a while ago and his version of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" made it painfully clear that he was out of tricks for this competition.

And they're out...

OOH! It's getting good on American Idol!

SPOILER ALERT

The final twelve are now in place after last nights cuts - here's who sucked just missed:

• Jarod - he asked "If You Really Love Me," but no one answered
  
• Antonella - "Put Your Records On" girl (and your clothes, and learn to sing!)
  
• Sabrina - her version of "Don't Let Go (Love)" had the opposite effect
  
• Sundance - hopefully he'll just go all weepy and not go all "Jeremy" now
  

Take a last look:

Amazing Race Crazy

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a big fan of The Amazing Race. The show has just started it's all-star season and it was ok the first week. However, last week was great - mainly because some of the contestants are C-R-A-Z-Y!

At the top of the list is my buddy Mirna:

She is insane. Whether she was screaming at a cab driver to take all her money, screaming at other teams, screaming at her dwarf cousin & partner Charla, or explaining why she's such a great person - she definitely proved herself to be prime time material last Sunday.

See for yourself in this post cab-driver-incident outtake from last week's episode.

And they're out...

Another lame exciting week of American Idol!

SPOILER ALERT

The second cuts based on popular votes happened last night - here's who nobody cares about:

• Alaina - her "Not Ready to Make Nice" was a reflection of her singing
  
• A.J. - who knew that "Feeling Good" could feel so bad...
  
• Leslie - ...until it got even worse with this repeated song
  
• Nick - too bad he gave America "Fever" and made it sick - of him!
  

Say goodbye to the losers:

And they're out...

I'll justify watching American Idol because of my job (but, I'm hooked!)
SPOILER ALERT

The first cuts based on popular votes happened last night - here's who got the axe:

• Paul - his "Careless Whisper" was apparently a little too careless
  
• Amy - her version of "I Can't Make You Love Me" was unfortunately true
  
• Nicole - although she sang "Stay," the people said "GO!"
  
• Rudy - his "Free Ride" just couldn't take him all the way
  

Here's a last look at the losers them:
