Great! We get rid of four of these clowns. Melissa is wearing a watermelon-patterned top that makes her breasts look like... watermelons. After a quick recap of the performances this week, they bring out Bo Bice to do his single, "The Real Thing." It's not the song I associate with that phrase, but some new song. He sweats a lot and I mostly ignore him.
There's a promo for the new show "Unanimous." They lock a bunch of people in a vault until they decide unanimously which one of them should receive $1 million. It seems kind of like a jury, needing to reach unanimity. I wonder what the rules are, because it seems too obvious that one person would get himself chosen by promising to divide the money equally among all of them.
Kinnik Skye is told very straightforwardly that she has the least votes among the women. That's a new twist! She gets to redo her losing song, and I get to use the TiVo remote.
They switch over to the guys and tell Will Makar that he's got the least votes of the men. He's a sweet young guy -- only 17 -- but he's got to go. He sings his song a lot better than last night.
Now, they switch to a positive process, identifying the contestants who make the final 12. For a second, it seems that the odd one out is going to be Melissa, but, no, it's Ayla, and so my two picks to leave -- in the female category -- are in fact leaving. Ayla fights not to completely burst out crying. Oh, don't feel sorry for her. She's beautiful, tall, a basketball player, and a straight-A student. She'll be fine.
I only picked one guy to go, Ace, but he makes it. It comes down to Bucky and Gedeon. And Gedeon is eliminated! I'm surprised. He was one of my favorites. Too bad! We see Paris Bennett crying, and Ace is comforting her. Why did "America" do that?

But he was the only black male left. Half of the women who made it are black.
The demographics don't favor black people when there are this many people left.
That seems like an odd statement when 50% of the winners so far have been black. Doesn't seem like the demographics figure in.
Gedeon made a really bad impression with his talk of showing the country what God has done. Presumably the pinnacle being the creation of Gedeon.
I couldn't stand him. And I voted for Fantasia and Ruben for the entirety of both those seasons.
Not everything breaks down to race relations.
Dave, these would be those smaller, specialty watermelons one sees at Whole Foods, not those traditional oblong things.
Did I hear correctly that next week was going to be all Stevie (presuably, Wonder)?
Ah, Bucky is toast. Chris may have to work to find a good song.
Early prediction: Elliot will have the best performance. Kevin the worst, but Bucky will be sent home.

I will miss the lovely Ayla though I knew the end was near.
I wouldn't mind "Stevie week" if they would ban his songs the rest of the time. Just about every Idol-Stevie performance diminishes both the contestant and Stevie Wonder.

Those damnable things you can't open.
me - I think most of the comments in response to yours have argued that his personality and image shape his demographic more than his race.
I also think Ayla is adorable, like her voice, like her song choices. I think her reaction at losing will give her heart along with all that perky hard workingess.
Gedeon is also strange but possibly because he is so young, as are many of the contestants. I find that refreshing, because some shows in the past seemed like a bunch of semipro lounge lizards.
