semi-upset

because a couple of my friends scheduled last night as a movie night (another post!), i was not able to watch the american idol results show.

because i liked two other shows more (amazing race and alias), i was not able to to tape the american idols results show.

because a friend from the east coast texted 'oh my god' around the time that ai was pretty much wrapping up in their time zone, i knew this was going to be a great show.

because a friend from up north called in and was quite jubilant. earlier in the day, same friend called my office and asked who was leaving tonight. 'without a doubt, it's katharine,' i said without skipping a beat.

because a friend called in upset (gusto kong murahin ang buong america! i'm out! hinding hindi na ako manonood ng show na ito!) a full hour before the actual results show, i knew who was leaving. and that made me pretty upset as well.

because i could no longer contain my excitement, and to confirm that he was actually the one voted off, i called another friend. this was before 9:30 and the bottom two has been announced.

because i was not able to tape it, i had my trusty computer do the work for me.

because i am not explaining what torrent means (google it!, just a little bit), but i am thankful that my computer didn't fail me.

because i still could not believe that it happened, i watched the episode and i was forced to write this post moments after watching (and yes, rewatching it) the episode.

because katharine mcphee and chris daughtry were my original final two (i know, carrie underwood- bo bice redux!) i was genuinely and extremely shocked. (my fascination for mcphee diminished by the day, to a point where i didn't like her anymore, to a point where i wanted her off my tv, to a point where i actually liked taylor more than her already, and that's saying a lot because i DO NOT like taylor!)

because elliott yamin rocked the house on tuesday night and was on the verge of elimination since he was perceived as the weakest of the four, in terms of fanbase.

because i voted a lot for elliott (and the last time i actually cared to vote was when this guy sway penala was still there. hah.) and i wanted him safe.

because of the results show, katharine is now being dubbed as the season's nikki/jasmine (not a great club to be in) just because other more qualified (dare i say better) contestants should have been in their place at the top 3 (tamyra and la toya come to mind).

because i am so looking forward to an elliott-taylor showdown (an elliott-katharine match-up sounds just fine) in two weeks, i promise i will dial like crazy next tuesday night.
