An Alliance Update
I originally tried to post this as a comment on the Tyrant's blog, but apparently Haloscan won't let you post comments that are longer than 1,000 words (which is probably a good thing, since technically comments shouldn't really be that long). As I've said before, I absolutely to refuse to cut to fit anything (blogs, comments, etc.) that is not directly related to my job. So I am forced to turn my original comment into a regular post. Here goes:
I have been out of commission for the past couple of days, but I see the Blog Alliance carried on just fine without me. What a relief to come back and read on TWoP that Scooter Girl had in fact been eliminated from the competition! Praise the Lord!
The Alliance got off to a shaky start Tuesday night. I thought both Catie and SG would be eliminated, but alas, this was not to be. However, I was happy to see Kiira (who I can only assume was named by Christina Aguilera, Nelly or similar) ejected from American Idol, and I was also somewhat pleased with the decision to eliminate Jenascia from ANTM. She was starting to annoy me with her constant complaints about being short. I am certain Kiira and Jenascia would have ended up being our next targets anyway, so props to the judges of both shows for not making us deal with them.
Obviously, our efforts on ANTM will be focused solely on Catie this week. I'm beginning to think she might have the dark powers of Carmen Rasmusen on her side. As for AI3, my vote is definitely for Lisa the model. I'm shocked and amazed that she actually made it to the top 32. Last I saw her, she couldn't manage to get out one word of a song she didn't really write because she was too busy playing in the pool.
As for your other picks, I agree for the most part, except for Briana. I did hear her sing in her initial audition, and I think she has one of the best voices in the competition. She also seems to have a sarcastic streak, which I like. And how cool is it that there's an American Idol contestant called Bri, when my friend Bri was such a big behind-the-scenes influence on the Blog Alliance last year? (For the record, my friend Bri does not look like a 12-year-old boy, as the Bri on American Idol does.) Anyway, I think we should support and protect contestants named Bri. After all, we would probably support contestants named Clare or Teri (or Cynical Tyrant, should any be so named), unless they reached Scooter Girl levels of annoyance, in which case we would probably have our names legally changed to avoid any associations with them.
