Well, that went well tonight. My faith in America has been restored somewhat.

Kevn Kinney is criminally underrate/underappreciated.

My wife got us her company's box seats for tomorrow night. Nothing better than a Friday night baseball game for free with free beer and food.

So, can we finally start to put an end to the Bobby Abreu has inflated stats talk? Everyone who says this probably is so set in their ways that they don't pay attention to games like last night where he hit a huge 2 run homer to get the Phils back into the game, or his walkoff from the other week.

Philly fans have never turned on Iverson. I agree the press has, but even the press that did heard it from the fans. Through all of the shit AI has pulled people here have stood by him. I do agree on him giving the illusion that the team was better than it was, leading to higher expectations. The problem was that Billy King then dismantled a team that was perfect for Iverson to play on (gritty guys who don't need shots but play good defense) and has put together this mess by overpaying overrated players. King and Clarke have both been pretty terrible as GMs.

Chris being in the bottom three is unacceptable. Now I might have to vote for this stupid thing. Pickler needs to go. I can't believe people are still falling for her bullshit. I hope the top three end up being Chris, Taylor and Kathi, but it will probably be Taylor, Pickler and a wild card (maybe Paris). This year is a lot more up in the air than last IMO.

Offense taken. I might check this out. Haven't really watched much TNA, but it's close, so why not.

I agree with pinjockey. The Flyers lack any consistent defensive presence that just has been killing the goalies.

AI showed up a minute before the tip time for the game last night, in jeans and a tee-shirt and then didn't bother to go in to the arena. I know that he plays injured all the time, and deserves a break, especially since the Sixers are eliminated, but this was probably his last home game ever for the Sixers. He could have at least had the decency to show up on time, get dressed, get announced and then sit on the bench. There was a large crowd there (especially to see two teams that were both sitting almost all their starters) and they were there to pay Allen respect. He showed absolutely none back.

Huh? Didn't want to deal with a crowd saying thanks to him? That would be a new one. He wasn't shown to be emotional, joking around outside the arena as the game was getting under way.

I think unfortunately Ellliot goes home tonight. I like the guy. Behind Chris he and Taylor are my two favorites. I think that Elliot needed Ace to really stink last night and he was at least okay. Pickler was awful again (but I didn't think she was as bad as last week when the judges loved her).

No, Edge gets to look stupid again this week probably.

I wish that Bucky would have stayed for a few more weeks. I like that style of music. I now want Pickler gone more than anyone. She's gotten worse looking every week along with more annoying.

I thought that Bucky was good again. Taylor was the best though IMO. Then Chris and then a big drop to Kathi and Bucky. Elliot was okay to me. Ace, Kellie and Paris should be the bottom three. Kellie won't be there, but man was she terrible. And did she really have on black blue jeans tucked into boots?

Air ball on the first kick attempt. Awesome. Taylor is trying to save the public's perception of Queen right now. Very good IMO.

I think that this week is worse than the Stevie Wonder week at this point. Where is the Elliot love coming from? I didn't think that was very good at all.

Kathi's outfit looks good on her, but I would not describe it as sexy per se.

Kathi is next. This I think will be good.

I like this, but I think it might be lost on the audience.

Kelly was terrible IMO. I don't know what the judges were listening too. And she's a moron and looked hideous.

I think that Ace should have tried Under Pressure. He could use the falsetto that he loves so much on some of the runs. Bucky always seems to find a song that's going to work for him and I think this week will be the same. Elliot is my pick to have the best performance this week. I think Crazy little thing called love fits Taylor, but didn't someone sing that like 3 weeks ago? Too soon for a repeat performance.

I actually thought that they were going to have it be a set-up, where Tony tossed him some extra loot to "lose" the fight with him. They still might go that way in one of the next episodes.

Personally, I would like to see Ace and Paris go for the next two. After those two are gone, I don't have any problems really with the rest.

Good comparison Lushus, except I don't even really find Ashlee to be all that cute. I would hit it given the chance, but that's not saying all that much.

I think the voting goes on a cycle. After Ace hit the bottom three the one week, people who liked him most have gone crazy voting. When someone is safe the previous week, I think people who vote are more likely to be lazy and not bother. Katherine will probably be near the top next week.
