This Weeks Idol Results Show

Tonight American Idol's result show is an hour long special beginning at 8:30 PM. The remaining finalist perform songs as a group singing songs such as "Another one bites the dust" which seems realistic LOL. Each one doing solos throughout the medley. I am ready for them to get down to business as this lil diddy wasn't very entertaining to me. I'd love to see Taylor go tonight but I suspect it won't be. Taylor isn't a bad singer don't get me wrong but he isn't the best and his stage presence is not far from bizarre in my opinion. They are all on the couches awaiting the results discussing what they miss from home. Kelly misses fried Okra. Sometimes I wonder if her ditzy personality is real or fake. Others said they missed important things like wife, kids but she misses Okra. Now family members are being shown on video telling the contestants how much they love them and how proud of them they are. This was a nice touch. Elliot seemed especially moved. They announce that next week the contestants will be working with Rod Stewart. I love him so I'm really looking forward to that. They show a clip with Taylors band that he typically performs with and they profess their loyalty, Taylor is then told he is safe. Katherine, they are talking with her parents telling how she has loved to sing from a young age. She was an adorable little girl. She is declared safe. Chris is from NC and his brother begins telling how they work in their family business of running a mill. They said they always knew Chris was meant for bigger things. Of course we all know Chris is safe. Going to commercial break leaves Ace, Elliot, Kelly, Bucky and Paris to hear their fate. Hmmmmmmmmmm I suspect it is Ace, Bucky or Paris. I suspect Elliot will be safe but you never know. I would have thought Taylor would have been gone weeks ago. Here we go.... Next up is Kelly, they check in with her grandfather who speaks of how the town is behind her and voting hard for her. She is safe. Now there is four left. Elliot is up next showing his mother who tells of him having health problems as a child, he had severe allergies, hearing problems and was diagnosed at age 17 with diabetes. She speaks of how proud of him she is for how he has persevered and is such a good man. Elliot is in the bottom three, I'm kinda shocked. Elliot gets to perform, I guess if they are in the bottom three tonight they get to perform. I'm not a huge fan of Elliot but he is a better singer than Taylor. I suspect Taylor has a huge fan base because his band travels around the country performing and they advertise for him at all their gigs to rake in the votes. Ace is up next, his parents and brother speak of how he is a fast runner and an outdoorsman. They speak of how he doesn't fear a struggle and that is who Ace is. Ryan now tells Ace that he is in the bottom three. Ace performs and sounds better tonight but he needs to trim the hair under his arms before wearing another tank top, YUCK. Bucky and Paris are up now and they show that in Rockingham they lost the race track there due to schedule changes with Nascar and that Bucky is giving that city something to be happy about. Now they are speaking about Paris. Her mother is talking how Paris wanted to be a gynecologist instead of a singer but she tried out and fell in love with American Idol. Now they announce which one is in the bottom three. Paris is safe. So the bottom three are Elliot, Ace and Bucky. Which one goes home? Ok, all three are brought to the front of the stage. Simon thinks Ace will go home. Leaving tonight is.......................Bucky. Ace and Elliot are safe. I sort of think Ace should have been the one to go home but the votes are in and it is Bucky who goes home this week.
