Well we made it through another one, lol. And this one wasn't easy. But as always, all of you make it fun and--in this case--worth the torture :)

Idol will return next year, in what form, we don't know. But unless the producers do something really stupid, like keep Minaj--or replace her with someone just as bad--there's no reason why we can't have a thread to laugh with each other and to forget our own problems for a few hours each week.

So until then, keep it real, Dogs. And whatever you do, stay in it to win it :)

You are the best, God Bless you:)

God bless and thank you, Jonny dear! I didn’t tune in much this season but I never missed one post on this thread. Love you all!

[slugbug]

Thanks for hosting the thread again Jonny! Always a fun time!

Oh, Jonny! I’m getting sad at your goodbye post. What a great drawing of the Dawg. I confess to having a little crush on Randy, like he would be fun to have dinner with. I liked the video of him at the end. I’d like to meet him one day.

Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful thread. I did forget my problems and laughed my head off each time I read through. When I watch the show, pre-thread, I am thinking, “oh, I bet they noticed THAT,” or “wonder what they said about THIS!” It makes the show really fun, even as sucky as it’s been this season.

I hope there is a good reason to gather soon, or at least next Jan when Idol tries again! Lots of love to you!!

SJ...many thanks for another enjoyable season. The chance, for a few hours each week, to forget about the dangers our great nation faces.

My pc crashed. I couldn't watcn the finale on line. I thought about who won all night long. I opened the morning paper and was delighted that Candace won.

Kree began smiling and wearing bright clothes tooooooooooooooooooooooo late. As Randy would say, "Candace had mad skills." True dat.

DAWG, YOU HAVE MAD SKILLS.

He's still in it to win it! :)

Sorry I couldn’t be here for the end parts, but I have been reading the posts ex-pos factos.

Thanks again Jonny for hosting these threads — I am sure next season will see the max snark — maybe even before the season starts (DRAMA! AI combines with Dancing With The Stars to create American Squaredance Calling With The Stars’ Idols hosted by the late Minnie Pearl!).

My love to all you AI regulars — take care and keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!

I REALLY enjoyed Kree, Keith and Randy on that upbeat Keith tune about the blacktop whatever. Now why didn’t they give Kree some upbeat songs to choose from? That would have made a difference for me, anyhow.
