Can we replace Anthony with Jasmine?

I noticed lots of cameos by former AI contestants last night. I spotted Mikalah, John Stevens, Latoya London and Jasmine Trias. There may have also been some others that I missed as a result of my fast forward trigger finger. Not sure what they were all doing there other than to longingly wish it were them on stage instead of the non-super-star contestants currently competing.

There are two themes again, which I just find unnecessary. First is the country music theme (slight advantage, Carrie?) and the “city music” theme, i.e. songs from Gamble & Huff. I wonder if there’s any relation to George Huff from last season.

First up, Carrie singing Dixie Chicks is pretty much a shoo-in to the final 3, since this is totally her “thing,” even though I seem to think she doesn’t have much of a personality to speak of. Judges didn’t love her city song, and I can see why, it was rather boring and showcased her non-personality.

Next up, Bo. He puts a rock twist on some country song, and I’m not a fan at all. But that’s not new, I have never been a fan of his. Then he sings the theme from the Apprentice, and I completely hate this song, but everyone loved it and loves him for some reason.

As for Vonzell…the country thing really did not work out so well, but apparently she had a “rough day” for reasons I’m still trying to uncover, and I think it was enough to garner enough sympathy votes to keep her around. By the way, did anyone notice that all the male members of her family, especially her dad, were dressed like pimps?

Anthony – oh please America, send this kid home already. I just can’t stand to watch him and his lack of personality anymore. And what’s with him singing the same song as Carrie? That tells me one of two things: a) Gamble & Huff’s collection of music isn’t very impressive, or b) the AI producers deliberately pit the two contestants with the least personality against each other to see if one could out-bore the other.

All that being said, I’ve heard rumors from AI fanatics that whoever performs last has never been eliminated from a non-finale episode on AI, which MEANS that Anthony would be safe if that theory is correct, so I am hoping with all my might that they prove that theory wrong tonite. Something about people being most likely to vote for the person who goes last because it’s the last thing they see and remember before the phone lines open for voting. Sounds like a crock of doody to me, but what do I know. I stopped voting after Anwar got sent home.
