IDOL HANDS: American Idol, Arsenic and Old Lacey

Filed Under: TV Idol Hands

We like American Idol. Too much.

Tommy Button: So, Lacey Brown went home last night. No fireworks or anything, just pure defeat.

Molly Eichel: Ding dong the witch is dead. Sorry, Lacey, I've been gunning for you since the beginning, and you should know that crazy-dyed 'do girls (save Allison Iraheta and Nikki McKibben) tend to fall out faster than over-bleached hair. There's always one, and none of them have taken home the big prize.

TB: It's really not a big deal. We're at the point in the competition where for the next four to five weeks there are always going to be at least two people who should go home. Every single person in the bottom three this week (Lacey, Paige Miles, Tim Urban) deserved to go home but Lacey Brown just happened to be the first to have her luck run out.

ME: I disagree, I still think Paige has some miles left in her (rimshot!). I think she needs one spectacular performance and she's back in the game. Can she pull it off? Probably not. Will I enjoy seeing her fail? Immensely.

TB: Do I think Tim Urban deserved the boot more? Fuck yes. But his time will come.

ME: Muhahahahaha.

TB: What's more important is who are the Lacey Brown voters gunna pull for now? Maybe they'll save Didi Benami from obscurity or just hop on the Powersox bandwagon.

ME: I think they'll go safe with someone like Katie Stevens who deserves the boot just as much as Tim does. What do you think Idol Handsies?
