He did some amazing commercial voice overs while he tested them out. They suck. They do not leave anything dry after wiping. Forewarned. (I told him they were great, though, so I didn't hurt his feelings.) ( He knew I was lying. )

OK heres one. Lawn Darts. I got Lawn Darts before they banned them forever. Maybe this explains my posts? Don't worry I didn't kill my wife with them because if I had I would sign all my posts like. My dear wife died by Lawn Darts. Give me a kudo!

And we never even considered them dangerous, go figure. My boys would be impaling each other with them over a vid game argument though, so maybe their banning is for the best. (I once had to hide their Guitar Hero guitars when they were being used as assault weapons.)

If I only could get them all back... Michael

Poor Survivor Eh, I think a lot of people watch the last couple of minutes of the results show (normally) or go in intermittently to see who made it. I'm recording both for later.

Thursday night is a reality show conflict. Americans will may watch AI and Survivor. If AI is in commercial, turn to CBS for see Survivor.

Despite this place, there's not as much cross pollination as I would have thought between the shows. And particularly when there's still "so many" contestants and we're not in top 10 territory, we'll see. AI wins the night, of course, but Survivor will be battered a helluva lot more by March Madness mucking up its schedule. I think the women's vote this week is wide open. Completely wide open. Jasmine sings so nasally that I haven't liked her so far, and it's hard to really jump up and tell for the others. Big opportunity for all the women to step up. For the men, you have to think Adam and Kai are immediately recognizable and liked. Don't get all the love for piano Matt. Bald, everyman Matt could surprise. We'll see. I'm still disappointed Ricky Braddy couldn't get a clear merit vote, not that I expected it. Michael

I never watch results live to much junk the result show s/b 1/2 hour show. Survivor will be watched and the last of idol on the dvr. I don't like how they keep changing the days, I was ready to watch last night.

Michael While I agree Adam is recognizable , Im not convinced that he is well liked by the majority of viewers. Unlike Danny, Kai's sob story and airtime was pretty much dropped after his audition. I think their was one scene during Hollywood Week where he said something like "im doing this for you mom". I think a bad performance for Matt or Adam and a great performance by Kai or Kris could result in Kai or Kris getting spot #3.

Ricky was great, but we knew Gokey was going on and either redneck or Anoop were. Same goes for Kris. You have Adam and Matt as probably the two favorites. You then have Kai (sob story), bald Matt (seen more of him than Kris), and Norman (may get the crazy vote). Kris is fodder. I'd love to see him rock it out, but he's fodder.

He's fooder with a huge fanbase and I still dont by that Adam is one of americas favorites. Sucks and other message boards make up a small portion of the voters. Im not so sure that America loves Adam the way some of the online fans love him. Kai barely has a fanbase, but if they reshow his sob story that could get him in. In all honesty I think Kris getting is will be tough, but not impossible if he gives a great performance.

But if you naively wanna believe he has a chance, more power to you. In the history of this show, especially with this format, I think it's easier for a female to get through who is underpimped because they tend to pick songs where they can belt, which is what will probably get them through. Kris has zero going for him. Not much screentime, a format that doesn't fit underpimped contestants well, being in a season where the male talent heavily outweighs the female talent, and being in a group where pretty much every other guy is more well-known. As for facebook groups and whatnot, how many of those people will actually vote? At this point, I'm rooting for Kris to bomb.
