Brilliant recap...AGAIN! Oh Flip-it, you make me laugh AND make me hungry.

I think Haley is horrible but I felt bad the way the judges treated her by really not saying anything about her terrible performance. I've never seen anything like that before on this show. I was completely uncomfortable by the way they all looked like they wanted to lick her.

It would be hard for me not to tell them to go fuck themselves.

And wasn't that Sanjaya's dad humping Tink's leg in the audience?

I love you Flipit. This made my day.

ok, between you and my Fox morning program I get the gist of the show....... You give good read bud---- thanks for being so quick too.
much love Ü

i thought it was sanjaya's dad too!

that kid just cannot sing. he has to come up with some sort of gimmick every week to get america's mind off the fact that he can't carry a tune at all! but hey, he's "famous" right?

"welcome to the sanjaya universe!" i couldn't stop laughing! and i couldn't wait to read the recap-your screencaps are hilarious!

Flipit - I love your recaps - thank you!!

-I did, however, disagree with your assessment of Blake - he's one of my favorites, but I felt he was boring, karaoke-like, and lounge singing last night - too bad :(

-I really don't like Melinda - I feel she doesn't have the personality necessary to be a record-selling winner.

OMG, Flipit!!

You have finally convinced me not to try to drink anything while reading your re-caps that I don't want to end up running out my nose! I thought I had a sick, cynical and perverted sense of humor, and maybe I do, but I'm in damned fine company. I think FOX should have a weekly "Flipit Hour" after the elimination rounds. I'm sure it would be a ratings smash!! Please, keep 'em coming. You're the reason I don't mind turning on my computer Wed. a.m.

hilarious, flipit. love reading your recaps.

The show was boring.

I think the recap was too. It is just the same gloating over Doolittle and Blake, and trying to outdo yourself in wittily cutting down Haley and Sanjaya.

It was over the top tasteless too (swastikas and 'cum dumpster's??). It's pathetic.

I have the terrible feeling that the general public watching this fiasco season of IDOL are not gonna catch Simon's well placed sarcasm and will honestly believe that he liked Sanjaya's "performance". And that's all we need at this stage of the game, just a bunch of idiots thinking that Simon finally saw the light..And after that scene with Tink (very aptly named) and Sanj's dad, I'm beginning to wonder if there's not a little more to this after all..Oh please, Tink, you can do sooo much better..
All in all, another predictable snooze-fest, even by the judges. See ya' to either Phil, Gina or Ho-aley!

soflat,
We here at TVGasm are so happy you have chosen to read our writer Flipit and comment on his prose.

We are constantly searching for new gripping writers to bring us their offerings to post here for others to be entertained by...unfortunately this isn't you...

What you need to understand is Flipit is the darling of TVGasm.. we would not be the same with out him and his consistently snarky ideas.

That you take issue with his writing but come back week after weed to read him tells us something about you.....for you pain is pleasure... enjoy.

Once again thanks for sharing and be happy you are leaving today with your head.... and remember this ...Flipit does not have to 'outdo' himself, he only has to show up and bring the usual. **** ***

Well said giffordsaz!

Don't be mean to my sweet baby!

I even started watching some really bad shows just because of Flipit's take on them. He turns crap into comedy gold.

Flipit, your recaps are DA BOMB BABY! Don't change a thing. Put down those glimlets and start recapping some other shows for us, woncha?

Great recap, Flipit! I, too, started watching some shows because of your recaps - wish you can start recapping Survivor.
Can't stand Sanjaya - I also agree that his fans may mistake the lack of comment from the judges regarding his "singing" for positive feedback. Haily is so blatant in flaunting herself instead of working on her singing I almost miss Antonella...

Oops, misspelled Haley - sorry
Ho-aley

If you notice, before Haley performed she said she really only cared what simon thought about her performance. That's why Randy and Paula didn't say anything to her.

Every year there is a Sanjaya type singer that sticks around too long due to vote for the worst. Remember Chicken Little?

I hope Phil goes tonight. Not because he's the worst singer (he's not), but because I can't stand looking at him anymore. He creeps me out.

Sanjaya: where did the camp go? Without it you are nothing but an untalented boring schlub. If you make it through I want some razzle-dazzle, got it?

Haley: you still bore me. You can go anytime.

I. Love. Blake. I keep thinking he's going to annoy me...but each week I love him just a little bit more. I even thought about calling in after the show. Then I remembered: I don't care.

Rock on, flipit, you're a hoot.

This recap was great.

I, too, vommitted a bit in my mouth at ho-aley's boob shrug. How stupid does she think we are??? Pleeeeeeeease get off my screen ho. I think Phil's a goner tonight. Hopefully Haley next week. Thank God for Tivo.

Great recap!

Don't be afraid to hold back because some people whine it's too "R-rated".

Sorry for the double-posting. Damn internet....

Flipit- you make me laugh at what has become a joke of a season on AI.

Freak Prom...classic.

Love & Kisses

I was laughing so hard reading this recap that I was crying. It reminded me of the comic Robert Shimmel (?). A little mean but oh so funny!!! I agree that Randy and Paula were being babies and wouldn't comment about Haley b/c she said she worried only about Simon's comments. Sanjaya must go - but honestly this is the worst Idol ever.

Oops, I meant don't be afraid NOT to hold back. Be as vulgar and mean as you'd like!

Guys thanks for the smile. You make working for comments seem like a sensible way to live.

LOVE

I LOVE YOU!!! This is what I look forward to every Wednesday!

WWW.VOTEFORTHEWORST.COM

VOTE SANJAYA!!!

soflat

Description of your intelligence or your personality?? Come on, Flipit is funny, witty, snarky, dry, observant, culture oriented and most likely a MENSA member...If it's over your head,
don't jump in...We'll be happy to swim without you!

BEAUTIFUL JOB FLIPIT (as usual)>>>

Flipit - This is the second time you've mentioned Rufus Wainwright and Blake in the same sentence. There's no comparison. Seriously, Rufus Rocks.

I love your recaps. I look forward to reading this every week! Keep 'em coming...

Oh, Flipit! You slay me. I love, love, LOVE your recaps. My favorite line this week? "The Indian Ellen Degeneres is a lesbian too!"

My only (very minor) complaint: It's spelled "whoa," not "woah."

Looking forward to the next recap!

Get rid of that Haley Skanknato. She's one week away from dancing on the pole during the lunch rush at Frank's Chicken House, in Manville, NJ. And not even as a featured dancer....

KH
Go Sanjaya!

I won't give away who went home tonight, but it was a disgrace. My favorite is still safe, otherwise I'd just stop watching this FARCE of a singing competition. Fox needs a better way to manage the voting. There are at LEAST four people that should have gone home before tonight's unfortunate loser.

Dacoyle...the public did not and could not identify with who went home this evening. I am not shocked at all. I was surprised this one even got this far.

KH

the w.e.l.c.o.m.e screencap was HILARIOUS! I haven't laughed so hard in front of my computer before I saw that.

Flipit, who is your favorite AI contestant of all time? not including this season?

Thanks, and great job on the recaps!.

You're fantastic, Flipit. I love your recaps. Even if I am a bit later to reply to this one.

Well, this night was a nice little surprise, I guess. The Idols are always mostly great with the oldies, though the night could have been better. I don't have much to say this time with my totally-interesting-everybody-reads-them opinions, so I'll just get to it:

Blake Lewis - Sounded fine, but should have listened to Tony and it would have been far better. It was his type of song, so you know he'll skate through.

Phil Stacey - Boring and almost completely out of key. I think it's about time he went home.

Melinda Doolittle - Best of the night and best ever again.

Chris Richardson - It was surprisingly good since it wasn't filled with endless nasal Justin runs, but I still hate him.

Jordin Sparks - I agree with Simon's opinion that it was more old fashioned than modern, but she sounds like an angel, so who cares.

Gina Glocksen - Well, that's the end of the spiral for Gina. She lost all her heat and confused herself to the end. She's probably going home tonight, meaning we're stuck with Phil and Haley again. :(

Sanjaya Malakar - This may surprise you, but I actually liked this performance. In the prelims, he was dreadfully boring, and for the past few weeks he was abysmal. Now he actually picked a damn fine song for his vocals. It wasn't stellar, and he still sucks ass, but I actually liked him this week. Tony Bennett will do that for you.

Haley Scarnato - Boring, badly sung, and completely slutty, thereby ruining the entire premise of the song. Shameful. I want her to go home.

LaKisha Jones - Great as always. Not much else I can say except Melinda is still better.

So yeah. I predict Phil, Gina, and Haley as the EASY bottom 3. I think Phil is going home, but I'm hoping for Haley, but I'd likely bet it'll be Gina just to piss us all off.

7. Sanjaya - 7
8. Haley - 6
9. LaKisha - 9

Love your recaps Flipit. Great sense of humor too.

I do wish you'd snark on Melinda more than you do tho. I thought it was hilarious that she did an Ethel Merman song.

Every song she sings sounds exactly the same. She's quite the one trick pony. Totally lacking in any kind of versatility.

Anyway, thanks for the quick recap.

Regarding tonight's elimination: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Regarding last night's performances: M-E-H.

Flipit, I will send you a batch of "special" brownies if you up the ante and make your recaps NC-17. It'll drive away the sensitive whiners.

flipit... thank you for your recaps :)

roleepolee i know i will be raked over the coles for this one, but i LOVE me some fantasia. her albums suck it, but i love love love her.

brendaham, cook em up girl.

smoke rulz wow excellent call.

and everyone thanks it's good to have a group of funny smartasses to bitch about this show with

LOVE

I actually really liked this episode. I thought Blake was awesome, Chris was good, Melinda was obviously flawless, Lakisha was awesome, Phil sucked. I'm not creeped out by him like everone else seems to be (well, i guess everyone isn't creeped out, because if they were he wouldn't still be on the show), buth he's slowly turning into an asshole. I HATE GINA GLOCKSEN. And WHY IS HALEY IN THIS COMPETITION!??!?! If America wanted to keep a hot, slutty, talentless girl around, i'm confused as to why antonella isn't still there in her place. And Haley may have a hot body, but am I the only one who doesn't think she's that pretty?

flip- I'll send you some gimlets if you show up in the audience with a sign that reads:

" I want to be Sanjaya's mamaya"!

love ya' :)

I thought Sanjaya looked like a underage Puerto Rican gigolo.

I hate how Ho-ley scrunches up her face when she sings certain phrases. And the boob shrug was just complete overkill. Go back to your rollerskating burger shack, you skank.

Cum Dumpster!!! Great! That is my new line. I have stolen another one of yours. You should look into copyrights.

I thought Sanjaya looked like Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf when he went to the big dance...if only he could grow that kind of facial hair. Then he would be my American Idol.

Oh, and Melinda still bores me to DEATH. I still don't see her making it BIG post-Idol. She'll probably be another Fantasia or possibly will be cast in Dreamgirls 2. This season pretty much blows as far as talent and originality goes. We'll hear another Melinda next year and we'll have another Sanjaya and Haley next year.

TVGasm was so fun to read back in its "glory day" of great writers because it was FUNNY. flipit, you are the only reason I still come to the website- your recaps are hilarious and I can't wait until Wednesdays now just to see what off-the-wall comedy you come up with! Thank you for making everyone's day.

Sure, Melinda and Lakisha are good to great singers, but they make miss Mandisa so so so so much... She was also great, and she took chances! She sang rock and country and whatever you wanted to throw at her. M and L are staying in their little Whitney/Patti/Shirley/Diana boxes, with some old standards and show tune ballads thrown in for good measure. Yawn yawn yawn. Let's say I have M and L on the one hand, great singers, with a boring-ass CD, and Blake or (I'll throw Jordin in here, although she is a better singer than Blake), good singers, with songs that I would actually want to listen to. Which CD should I buy? Hhhmmm... I think I'll skip the master class in singing and go for the fun.

You know, Mo, I may be alone on this, but I actually think Jordan is as good of a singer as Melinda and Lakisha! Her runs are amazing and she has good control! She annoys me, though.

Paula, it's actually "hep-cat," you sad, trashy, pill-popping lush.
