Is it wrong that my favorite part of tonight’s results show of American Idol was the fact that I got the results right? I hope not, because I was right…and that’s what really matters, isn’t it?

We started off the night with another group number, which focused on the girls this week. Even though I’m not a fan of the big group songs, the one thing it really does is show off just how much of a gap there is between the talent of some of the contestants. It’s amazing to go from Heather to Katharine – such a huge difference. We also got a performance by Carrie Underwood, which, thankfully, shortened the amount of time that Ryan Seacrest could drag out the results for.

Speaking of results, when we finally got to them, did it seem to anyone else that the judges (or at least Paula) seemed to have had a few drinks beforehand? You know it’s bad when Ryan actually has to remind them that they’re on live.

So the naked cruelty is dialed back a bit this week – none of the nonsense of lines, and rows. Just pulling out the bottom three. And for the girls, it was exactly who I thought it would be. And thank goodness, Brenna is finally going home. America was, in fact, sick of her attitude. And no surprise that Heather went home too – her vocals just aren’t as strong as the other girls.

Over on the guys’ side, it looked like Ryan had a little more time to fill, so he asked each guy if he thought he was safe. Which, I think, there is no good way to answer. So Ryan pulls out the bottom three, and surprisingly, Kevin is in the bottom three, not Will. I think even Will was surprised about that. But no surprise that David and Sway ended up going home (even if the judges said it came down to fortune cookies).

So next week is our last chance to get rid of singers before the final 12. And hopefully the judges will sober up by then.
