This week’s episode of Idolatry, of course! When you’re done watching, please weigh in with the appropriate sentence for Ryan Seacrest’s unusually cruel treatment of Michael Johns during Thursday’s Idol results show. I was gonna suggest 30 days in the clink, where Ryan would have to watch his E! colleague Giuliana DePandi fill in on Idol hosting duties, but why should all of us have to pay the price for his crime?

What do 'Idol,' 'Lost,' and adorable kittens have in common?

I am going to make this bold statement: Dude who sports an ascot understands showmanship. Michael Johns is a big boy and he can take it.
another great video – UNTIL the KLC part – could we please ignore her until she GOES AWAY? And YES – Michael Johns was robbed and Ryan was cruel. If there was ever a week they should have waited a week – THIS WAS IT!! (see how mad I am, using all these caps and exclamation points?!?!?!)
p.s. fair warning to AI: when David Cook goes, I go…. grrrrrr….
I agree that Michael’s elimination was cruel and that David C.’s performance was awful. What bothers me about your commentary is the way you treat David Archuleta as someone who isn’t really part of the competition and is only staying for the long run because of his huge fan base. Give the kid some slack. He’s 17 but he’s no Sanjaya. He’s got one of the best vocals on the show.
The LOST part at the beginning was priceless! I love Idolatry!
My gosh Slezak, let go of your precious Fantasia. Syesha did NOT “overshoot her vocals”. While it was a bad song choice, vocally, it was the best of the night!
Archuleta and kittens…Bwhahahahahah!!!!!!!!Excellent “Lost” images and House of Pain muzak! I’m not enjoying IDOL religiously this year but have to say, without exception, EW’s coverage has been fabulous!
I think it is time for Ryan Seacrest to go home, he finds pleasure in eliminating men, that are more attractive than he is. He is so love with himself, and I ask what does he have to even like himself about?
This was, by far and away, one of the best Idolatries yet. Last year’s “overarching plot” with the smashed record was good, but the Krizilla plot this year is PRICELESS! The fact that Ben is really behind Krizilla (and, therefore, I presume every other year’s -zilla? Such as Sanjilla?) only makes the world make more sense. (Because if Ben is behind it, too, you never know when you’ll suddenly agree with him – like this week’s performances.)
I only wish, being a (surprised at myself) huge fan of David Cook this year, why you didn’t address the fact that David Cook showing that he’s human with last week’s performance (which wasn’t good) that he’s probably just done himself a HUGE favor. Just like Kitten Archuleta messing up early on, last week reminded David Cook’s fans that they can’t remain complacent that he’ll just sail through. (However, I found myself cynical at DA’s mess up, while only concerned for DC’s. Hrm.)
Anywho, keep up the GREAT work! Thanks!
Your KLC coverage is priceless. It’s the only reason I can still deal with her being on the show. But the fact that she and Syesha outlasted MJ… It’s the first time I’ve ever thought the show was rigged. I’m being more rational now, but I’m still fairly angry.
I also adore your coverage of Archuleta, because I hate him too, and I love how you just kind of… ignore him. It makes me happy.
I agree with “:(” I hate David Archuleta too!!! Just had to say that! I liked Micheal though. O well. Jason and David cook are better. I miss Danny Noriega.

That comment Ryan made about last year no one got voted off that week was cruel!!! I like Michael!
Ryan I think has been a little “different” this season… And certainly Michael deserved to be there more so than some others who remain standing especially Kristy Lee
Last week was like watching dirty politics.. I was left with my mouth hanging open and my blood boiling. They might as well vote off David Cook & Carly next to level the talent playing feild.
