IDOL HANDS: American Idol, Clash of the WTF

We like American Idol. Too much. Tommy Button: What the fuck was that, American Idol? And I'm not talking about Didi. No shit that was going to happen. Molly Eichel: Heavy sigh, Didi Benami. You weren't going to win but you don't deserve a fate such as this. TB: This is what I'm talking about: 1) Everything having to do with Clash of the Titans. Except Sam Worthington. ME: Goddamnit, that movie was even good. Although, Idol is King of Product Placement (COCA COLA COCA COLA COCA COLA) so it wasn't unexpected. Also, if anyone was going to take down the Kraken, I would put my money on Aaron Kelly. TB: 2) NO GROUP PERFORMANCE?! ME: I'm not with you on that. Those are always excruciating. TB: 3) Ruben Studdard, the velvet teddy bear, and a man bearing the namesake of maybe one of the greatest sandwiches ever announced that he's gone vegan. ME: There is nothing more evil in this world than vegans. Nothing. Offended? Bring it. TB: Usher's crazy A Clockwork Orange/robot performance with Will.i.am running around in hammer pants. ME: That song is bangin', though. And I really enjoyed the line about boobies. TB: The uncomfortable amount of Seacrest/Simon fighting. I totally understand why Simon wants to leave now. ME: I'm gonna chock that up to Seacrest knowing that his super crush, Didi Benami, was going home. TB: Diddy Dirty Money sending little children everywhere into epileptic shock with his foam at the mouth strobe show. (Although it looked pretty cool in my apartment.) ME: What do you think Biggie (R.I.P.) would have thought of American Idol? TB: And finally,Tim Urban is still safe. What. The. Fuck. ME: Indeed.
