WHAT! THE! FUCK????

quote[The exit of Gina Glocksen, 22, of Naperville, Ill., cut the number of finalists to eight. Glockson had sang "Smile" on Tuesday night’s episode and received a thumbs up from Randy Jackson, who called her performance, "controlled," but thumbs down from the wonderfully spiteful Simon Cowell.

Gina sang through tears during her exit tune. “Thank you so much for letting me do this and get this far. I’ll be seeing you on tour,” she said.

Haley Scarnato and Phil Stacey had the next-lowest votes, which drew about 33 million calls and text messages.

In an Idol shocker, or non-shocker, 17-year-old Sanjaya Malakar, who has been attracting votes for his hairstyles if not for his singing, was not even among the bottom three. That may be partly due to the efforts of the “Idol” site VoteForTheWorst.com, which has been urging people to vote for Malakar.

Unfortunately guest mentor Tony Bennett came down with the flu and was unable to perform, but he was replaced by Michael Buble, who sang "Call Me Irresponsible."

Not that I've had much choice lately, but I'm thinking of boycotting the show until idiot-boy gets ejected. He may very well be the downfall of this stupid craze...and I think it might be a good thing.

BTW, Beckett pulled things together for the second Sox game, so all is not lost!!!
