Nikki chastises Haley for abandoning her group and not practicing more when she clearly could have used it, but ultimately everyone except for Chicago favorite Brandy Neelly makes it through.

It’s 8:30pm and the last group is finally ready to go on. It’s The Misfits, including Crazy McCrazerton herself, Kez Ban. Tasked with enduring her insanity for the past 24 hours are fellow group members Breanna Steer, 18, Janelle Arthur, 23, and good ol’ Food Services Angela.

The Misfits: Angela, Breanna, Kez and Janelle

Kez missed breakfast and the bus to the auditorium because she’s not a morning person. And also she really seems to be totally insane. The girls sing The Ronettes’ “Be My Baby” and they’re pretty good. Angela is decent, but man is that girl skinny!

Janelle has a very strong voice and seems really comfortable onstage. But she gives us yet another reason not to ink yourself up before you go on stage:

It’s just not a good look.

I thought Kez was weak, but nonetheless all the ladies move on to the next round, potentially proving my theory that Kez is only being included for the drama. In celebration, Kez tackle-hugs Janelle, who tries to keep it together since they’re still in front of the judges but is clearly disturbed by such a show of emotion and physicality from someone she doesn’t really like. This should be a fun season!

And that’s a wrap, Gasmii! Up next is the girls’ solo round, with the next episode culminating in the announcement of the top 20 guys and top 20 girls who will be moving on the semifinals.

Is your favorite still in the running? Would you bring a kid to a job interview or do something like write lyrics on visible parts of your body when you’re in a singing competition? What do you think about Randy being too busy to show up for a day and a half? Since he’s been so quiet even when he’s on set this season, I didn’t really think it was much different. Also, it’s been really fun to see Keith and Nikki’s budding workplace romance.

Tell me what you think – and thanks for reading!

    I thought American Idol was going to be discreet and sneaky in it’s agenda to have a female winner – guess not.

    What will they do if a Transgender wins?

    “Shim” is great. I’m pretty sure that’s going to become more and more necessary in this oh-so-progressive times. But that Kezblah really annoyed the fuck out of me. She’s probably pretty decent doing her thing, which is the opposite of the Idol karoake concept. Makes you wonder what the hell she’s doing there? I’m guessing some producer paid her to show up.

    Morgan Leigh Boberg describes herself as an ‘unconditional lover.’ so. Yes! She’s got my vote already.

    Shira had a hit record in Israel, which explains the ‘tude. Don’t know why she’s allowed on Idol though. And she needs to do a lot more work on pronunciation anyway. Next!

    You forgot one of the standouts (for me, anyway) — beautiful black girl with a mohawk thing with a great raspy voice. Hope she stays in there.

    Yes, Idol’s desperate for a female winner. But they’re going to end up with a cute(ish) male country singer strumming a guitar anyway. Give it up, Idol! Amurrica knows what it wants!

    I am not an Idol watcher and just thought I would read the recap from the posted photo… I DO love a train wreck. I have not finished the recap but have already laughed hysterically ( and to the point of personal embarrassment ) over MiniPoor, NakieDance, and CPS….I think I love you !

    The comments in the latest Idol recap are broken? So we don’t get to bitch about what a fucking waste of time the last episode was? Why does this show insist on NOT showing us most of the singers who might eventually have a shot at the competition? Since it’s a singing show after all. Stupid stupid show.

    Idol’s format sucks. Why do they waste 5 weeks on those ridiculous auditions, most of which consist of allowing people to make fools of themselves in front of the camera? Things only get interesting with Hollywood Week, but then they don’t even bother to show 1/10 of the competitors.

    And they’ll end up picking the most boring of the bunch for the live shows. And the first finger-at-the-sky-pointin’ country singer will win anyway.

    Here’s hoping people get behind that trainwreck who played the drums this week. What’s her name? Shoanette? What a fucking joke she was. Guess they couldn’t keep TWO freaks though.

    Ha ha @itchy it’s ZOANette. ?!? I haven’t seen Idol since I was conned into taking my then-husband’s 14yo daughter to see the Season 2 tour. I’m poised to take over recapping duties once the four-month-long auditions are finally over so this was a good assignment to catch up a little bit. Wonder why the comments are broken?

    Shim is actually straight from the mouth of that now 22-year-old ex-stepdaughter. She’s pretty great. :-)

    I can’t believe I missed someone! I hope Mohawk made it to the semis!

    @OYMT – oh thank you so much!!! I’m new around here and I really do appreciate the love. :-) . I’d write more now but I’m furiously cleaning the house in case someone finally takes “I’M SCARED OF THR NAKIE DANCE!” the wrong way and CPS shows up…

    I think Mohawk girl had the best voice of the bunch AND she was beautiful. But obviously the producers have already decided which girls they’re pimping for the win, and she’s not one of them. Shame.

    I’m sticking with Shoanette. It’s Shit-ona-nette. Because that woman is just tragic. Idol is really really sinking low there.

    Kez Ban, well she is on her own level. I’m not implying that she is not talented I just think that she has thing where she just has to do her own thing. From what I saw in a clip in my office, it’s pretty hit and miss. Anyone who watched her first audition knows that she was great and by the time it came down to her solo she completely missed the mark. I think she just lost everyone with where she wanted the song to go.
