Okay, who all got cut? My roommate screwed up the DVR and I'm lost.

Def sad that I see you say Ayla went... Kinnik should've gone before her...

No worries, Kinnik went too. Kinnik, Ayla, Gideon, and Will.

America is on crack. That is all.

They are doing the same thing here for Ayla. It was on the front page of the "Boston Herald" this morning, and boston.com had it as one of the lead stories.

So, my daughter tried to vote for Ayla for an hour Tuesday night and got busy signals the whole time, yet, she is the one who got booted? How does this make sense? If calls can't get in, how can you vote? I guess texting is the only way, but I'm not paying Cingusuck to vote for Idol.. they rip me off enough already.

Each season, I am more convinced that it's rigged.

I love Chris, I want to marry Chris... He's too young for me, but boy is he cute.

Predictions for who is leaving first, or at least within the first few weeks?

I think Kevin, Bucky, and Melissa will go first. After that, who knows... but I hope Kellie joins them.

I agree with these predictions too. Even though I like Kevin and think he has a great voice I just don't think he is Idol material. I also am not a big fan of Lisa too. I think she will be gone in the early episodes too.

I was so upset that Ayla and Gideon left...they totally deserved to be in the top 12!! If I had to chose who I think would win the whole thing I am going for Chris. I think he has an awsome voice, a great personality, and good stage presence...and he is HOTT too!!

I am honestly not that impressed with Paris so far... esp. with this week's performance... but of course the judges love her, so she will be staying for awhle I think

I'm a big Lisa fan, but she needs to sing different songs. Something upbeat and poppy- she has a wonderful voice.

Mandisa and Elliott... both have wonderful voices but I just don't like either of them. I won't be upset if they are in the final group but I wouldn't be interested in listening to their music outside the show, really.

My friend had a theory on Ayla's departure. She thinks that either America was torn between letting her continue with AI AND her college career AND her scholarship AND her basketball team... and just letting her go so she can have a college career. Then she threw in the idea that maybe the judges just pulled the plug on her now, rather than get her throughout the top 12 and have all sorts of drama with her college and basketball team and missing all the practices and whatnot. Because if she went anywhere beyond the top 10, she wouldn't be available until late fall at LEAST. There goes her scholarship.

My guess is there were some producer strings pulled.

But it made my guy friends very sad.

I can't stand Bucky and would rather see Gedeon in it... even though I think he's just as strange. (Boy... you are not an artist.)

Didn't think Will would make it. Nor Kinnik.

And to answer a previous question, we get Idol news segments on our Fox station here. Mandisa and Stevie were from this area at some point. But it's been pretty quiet around here.

It has to be an act. Kellie couldn't really be that dumb.

I'm DVRing so I can watch later, but have to ask: what did Kellie do or say now??? Inquiring minds and all that!

i hope kellie and ace stay another week.

taylor drives me crazy with his "dance" moves.

If Bucky doesn't leave this week, I think I might have to boycott until he IS gone... that's all

If they are thinking of changing Taylor's hair color -- can they please consider fixing Elliott's teeth?!?
