Oh happy day.
Stankjaya got the boot.
The glee on Simon's face as he realized his season-long dream coming true was priceless.
After Chris' disastrous performance I thought he'd be going home (he's been in the bottom three twice before, suggesting his fan base is weak, and he was practically as bad as lil' Stanky last night). But he didn't even hit the bottom three. Apparently America agrees with him that "nasally" is a valid form of singing...
LaKisha also seemed to be on shaky ground and was the last one standing next to He of the Demonic Grin.
But all negatives aside, now that the kid is gone I have to hope he doesn't have a life of ridicule ahead of him. The nasty side of Idol is in the way it can build people up and then toss them aside with no regard. It's not completely the show's fault, it's also Sanjaya's and his family's for deciding to enter the competition and stay in under the pressure.
Hopefully he'll just move on to a life and career outside of music. But the temptation to cash in on fame while he has it may be too much to resist. And the attempts to do so will surely be painful.
But the competition will be a lot more fun from here on. I don't think it's a coincidence Melinda and Jordin are now the only two contestants to never land in the bottom three. I think we have our final two right there (barring a Daughtry-esque elimination "shocker").
Go Doolittle!

Go Doolittle indeed -- she was back in top form this week -- although Jordin was not too shoddy, either. Much more interesting top two than Taylor and Katharine last season, methinks.
