slaying the dragon

Kris Allen killed it Tuesday nite with his amazing acoustic take on Kanye's Heartless, thus getting him to the finals with Adam Lambert. He IS my American Idol!!! They keep saying all the pre-teen girls are voting for him, but hey, I am no pre-teen girl. At least I don't think I am. But how can I not root for the guy who sang Falling Slowly from Once while everyone else sang Bryan Adams and Endless Love on movie-theme nite? And Tuesday nite, he did Heartless while the Gokey (guy with dead wife) sang You Are So Beautiful (barf) and Adam (over)sang Aerosmith's Crazy. No, no, Kris is da man...Amazing Race 14 ended last Sunday, and thank goodness the redheads didn't win. They were so annoying that a cab dispatcher actually said to their cabbie in Maui, "''You need to tell your people that I'm not their personal concierge." Word! Anyways, the Chinese brother and sister lawyers won. While they were hardly endearing, they were the team I was rooting for amongst the final three (my other choice was evil deaf kid and his overly proud mother). This was admittedly not my favorite season of Amazing Race. It started fantastically (cheese wheels!!!) but most of my faves got eliminated too early. At least they went to Guilin (look, ma, I've been there!), and then there is another season to look forward t; it's been renewed for the fall season...Coach got voted off Survivor tonight. Dragonslayer my ass. If you look up blowhard in the dictionary, it would be this dude. He actually read a freaking poem at tribal council!...French guy Gilles got 2 perfect 30's on his dances this week on Dancing With The Stars, while the wooden rodeo cowboy/husband of Jewel got sent off into the sunset. So, it's French guy, munchkin gymnast, and the bachelorette in the finale next week. Go, French guy!!! He deserves it.
