Don't worry, I got your drift!

Oh Jrb, I don't want to start this again, but clearly the staff of Idol is basically letting Abdul carry on a painkiller addiction that is great for ratings. By ground rules, I think that she should get some kind of treatment before she can return, but hey, her crazy behavior is great for the show, so I doubt they'll try to help her. She is crying out for help, and people are just letting her go because they think that is what will help sell the show. If Paula gets rid of the crazy (ie, quits the pills), then what is she to Fox?

I don't think anything you said there was objectionable. Goodness, I didn't realize this merited an "Oh Jrb, I don't want to start this again".

Well, I love you darling, but you are very intense about this issue....

[jrb_actor]

And why shouldn't I be? I've admitted why THIS particular issue bothers me--why I would be passionate about correcting negative comments on this topic. When I made slurs against people on anti-depressants a few months ago, I rightfully got my ass handed to me. It's easy to be flippant and catty about certain things, forgetting that certain people are trying to work against such comments, forgetting that some people get hurt by such comments.

Despite the popular belief on BWW that Jerby has no sense of humor, blah blah blah, I actually have a very wicked sense of humor. I love unPC humor. But, there's a time and a place for it. When and where it should be ok to make jokes about people's illnesses is not something I clearly know. But, when you speak in mixed company, be prepared for rebuttal. If you want to rail against that rebuttal as many of you have--fine. But this is not a private conversation--we are typing very much in public.

Sorry, I'm raining on the parade.

To help bring the sunshine back out - I LOVE ELLIOT!

(ps...Jerby-reading great things about your show! Congrats!)

Elliott is indeed SUNSHINE! :)

I totally get what you're saying JRB. And you know I know you have a sense of humor!

For me, it's just become really sad. It's beyond funny. But Paula's a big girl, and I guess nobody can make her do what she doesn't want to do.

[jrb_actor]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 6:16pm

Well I agree with you on the producers vs responsibility of dealing with her.

And, I guess ultimately Paula has to be the one to take charge of addressing these matters. If they need to be addressed.


But let's get back to SUNSHINE, namely imagining Chris and Elliott singing a love duet. sigh.

I've got something Chris can do a duet with...

Trash!

I'm predicting Paris will be leaving tonight.

[DawnlikesRent]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 6:34pm

For once I'm not worrying too much about Elliott. He may be in bottom three if something crazy happens...but he Will Not be going home. He's an AMAZING singer and as a diabetic myself, I love that he is representing us well. I just wish he would calm his nerves a little more when he performs. Other then that I'm loving him. Last night was easily his best performance.

I'm not sure who I think will leave, but I have a feeling Katharine will be in the bottom 3.

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 6:39pm

That will be truly sad if Paris goes tonight. She and Chris should be the final 2.

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 6:44pm

DialIdol.com now has Paris going home, with Pickler and Katharine rounding out the bottom 3.

[Jon]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 7:25pm

I agree that the three ladies will be the bottom 3. Hopefully Kellie goes.

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 7:26pm

Can we start a BWW prayer circle to make this happen?

[colleen_lee]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 7:27pm

I definitely want Kellie to be the next to go....unfortunately that's not how I think it is going to play out.

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 7:29pm

I'll be happy if she is at least in the bottom 3 (won't this be her first time?), so she can get the freaking chip off her shoulder.

[Billboard Girl]

Simon just apologized for his comments on Katharine's performance last night with some line about how the performances sound different when you watch them back on TV.

Paula will become completely unhinged before the last episode
Maybe she will punch out Ryan

I think it will be Katherine going this week & blondie next week

[colleen_lee]

I dunno, I think it's going to be Paris. Even though I think she is one of the stronger singers, but she's at the bottom of pretty much every poll and she just doesn't seem to have the fan base or sympathy votes of some of the other contestants.

I'm rooting for Taylor to go!
