Idoltude: American Idol results surprising

Oh, the drama of it all. The tears. The gnashing of teeth. The denial. The anger. The pain. No, we're not talking about the Clinton campaign. We're talking about who will be the first American Idol cut.

Tonight it came down to four - two boys and two girls who were sent home. Is it just me or do these results shows get longer every year? What happened to the half hour results show? I guess those come later. Anyway, here's how things came down:

Joanna Borgella, our lovely plus-sized model was sent packing. It's a pity, considering she at least had a PERSONALITY, unlike a few others who will be sticking around (namely, Kady and Kristie). But she fell flat last night, so she only has herself to blame.

Amy Davis couldn't even be helped by a boost from VoteForTheWorst.com, who was pushing for "Worsters" to get behind her. Their darling, though, is Danny Noriega, and that's probably where most of their votes went. So Amy and her creepy Bride of Frankenstein hair are out.

The boys were no surprise. I had predicted that Garret Haley's strange, poofy hair might keep him in for another round, but his look actually worked against him. Obviously his voice did, too.

I'm sure Simon is exuding I-told-you-so-ness to Paula and Randy regarding young Colton's cut. Simon warned against bringing him on the show, favoring instead Politician Boy, who also would have been cut early, but may have provided slightly better TV.

There's still plenty of baggage to get rid of next week. In fact after seeing Week 1's less than stellar performances, it appears it will be several weeks until any painful cuts have to be made.
