The Day The Accent Died

Danna, you were robbed. OK, not really — it’s just crap you had to be sent packing the day after winning both challenges. Do the world a favor, though: consider a career in voice-overs. Really. I’d TiVo a whole fleet of women’s hygiene commercials if I knew you were the one hawking them.
In other reality-show news, a prediction I made concerning American Idol was partially fulfilled this evening, provided you use the word “fulfilled” in the most charitable way possible:

I suppose if I get the hankering for a healthy spoonful of Lakisha in the forthcoming weeks, I can always catch the detailed recaps Rickey provides so faithfully every week. Before she’s eliminated in a surprise turn of events, that is. Just wait for it.
And I’m sure you can guess what finally happened tonight. Now, I’ve kept my word about giving up on the show, but I’ll be honest: I’ve dutifully checked rickey.org every Wednesday night just to see who was eliminated so I could jump at the opportunity to write the requisite fuck-I’m-good-just-ask-me post about my amazing psychic abilities. But I’m afraid this as good as it gets. Oh well.
That damn show is addicting and annoying all at once. I must admit, I watch it just to hear Simon’s painfully honest and rude remarks, and to see if Paula is doped up on anything. I’ve never heard someone come up with so many ways of saying “You Suck!”
