Laura Morett was taken out by Russell, Foa Foa, and two members of her former tribe, Galu: Shambo and John. John initially voted for Natalie, sticking with Galu and Laura, but he broke a dramatic tie vote in order to save himself. She'd long been a target of Shambo's for some unclear reason, but Russell also wanted her gone because she is the presumed leader of Galu, never mind the fact that she won two consecutive individual immunity challenges. Complete Story...
Kelly was blindsided at Tribal Council by the old Foa Foa tribe because of the Galu alliance's stubbornness. Russell played yet another hidden immunity idol, and although John correctly predicted he might do just that, Galu didn't split their votes, resulting in one of their own being voted out. "I ain't finished playing just yet," Russell said, and he sure ain't.
Bartender Erik Cardona, 28, was voted out of the newly merged tribe, and became the first jury member and this season's biggest blindside. "Wow, wow, wow," he said after being voted out while holding a hidden immunity idol, which he didn't play because "you can't defend against something that's invisible." His strategizing around camp seemed to freak everyone out, so they got rid of one of Galu's strongest players instead of picking off one of the weaker former Foa Foas.
Now in its 19th season, "Survivor" has been remarkably resilient. There have been ups and downs, but there's never been a season that was a complete dud. Unfortunately, that streak may be coming to an end with this season, which is so far the closest thing Mark Burnett has ever produced to a complete failure.
The film noir has the femme fatale; the modern romantic comedy has the sardonic best friend. For every genre there is at least one stock character, and for reality-competition shows with judging panels, it is the Mean British Person. And the reason is simple: Simon Cowell, who turns 50 on Oct. 7.
After spending the better part of a day behind the scenes and on the set of “America’s Got Talent,” something became painfully obvious. Although the ratings stand as pretty sufficient evidence, this show … really is good. In fact, it's better than “American Idol.”
Ellen DeGeneres is known for being nice. But the new "American Idol" judge said she's ready to be honest with the show's contestants, good or bad.
Ellen DeGeneres changes that dynamic of "American Idol" because she doesn't have music expertise. She's simply a big fan of the show. And judging from the initial comments from both DeGeneres and Fox, that’s why she was hired.

A published report reveals the Paula Abdul has big ambitions for an upcoming Las Vegas revue. In fact, the singer-dancer-choreographer is said to have her sights set on nothing less than a stage-to-small screen sensation.

If Paula Abdul’s aim was to shock people with her announcement that she was leaving “American Idol,” by most accounts, she succeeded. If she was hoping to act out a celebrity cliché, she succeeded with that, too.
If Paula Abdul's abrupt Twitter announcement that she's quitting "American Idol" is a contract negotiating ploy, it's a spectacular one.
Summer provides a bit of a breather between the end of one TV season, the random summer shows that come and go, and the new fall season. Looking back, we've seen some encouraging trends, and some that need to be squashed faster than "Wipeout" contestants.
The clock is winding down to the judges' round of "American Idol" auditions — next month, the gates will be opened for a new batch of hopefuls. They'd do well to come prepared: Paula Abdul might not be around to dole out much-needed hugs and kind words of encouragement.

Seven Reasons Kris Won American IdolJust like it's now bad karma to be the front runner in the Oscar race (as Frost/Nixon can tell you) or the presidential election (as Hillary Clinton can tell you), it also doesn't help if you're the foregone winner of Idol long before the season is over.
Lambert-Allen matchup may be a wacky 'Idol' finale on Yahoo! NewsHate is a strong word but I don't like Adam's style of music, and to say that "its a walk in the park" is presumption". I certainity hope that Allen pulls it off but it will be a long shot.

Is Idol Rigged? Have the Final Four Already Been "Picked"?Another week, another "scandalous" (and unsubstantiated) bit of American Idol buzz. This time, the talk is that Season 8's final four have already been decided on by producers and judges, and that two of said "chosen ones" in fact have been ruled out as possible winners.
The theme for the night was Michael Jackson. This seems to be a poor choice because of the degree that Michael 'owns' most of his songs. Anyone singing them will always be compared to his renditions.
The producers decided to throw us a curveball with this show. More on that later. The advertised goal was to augment the 9 finalist to the eventual total of 12.
The producers subjected us to the usual group sing. There has yet been a good reason offered for this demonstrated. The competition is not for the next "American Pickup Group" They "hid" a audition in the first commercial. No identification or result was offered.
It was with trepidation that I listened to the announcement that this was another two hours for 12 people to sing for 1 minute 20 seconds each. At least they got to the first singer rather quickly.
This program started out with a bit of promise. It appeared that maybe, just maybe, the producers had been reading the criticisms. The was less useless backstory and more of the singing we did not get to see. Even the brief sessions with the losers was not bad.
It starts with the usual waste of time but it did not seem to be as much as previous sessions. Did the producers listen to the complaints and rewrite? We shall see.
They set an hour aside to reveal three names. This means they will have to fill a LOT of time. After all, how long does it take to read three names? They take less time to reveal the lottery numbers every week. Take an hour show, subtract the commercials - 24 minutes.
There is a new twist this year. The top 36 were divided into 3 groups. The top vote getting male and female go through along with the one with the next most votes. The final 3 will be from the second chance show. Each person gets 1 minute and 20 seconds to sing.
