Usually it is polite here, but sometimes (especialy near the end of the season) it can get heated. I don't like it any more than you do.

CB, Jonny, thanks for your oil-on-the-waters post and reply. The last time I remember this level of vitriol on this thread was back in Scott Savol's day. (I cannot belieeeeeve I remember his name! Whatever happened to him, anyway?) I almost do not feel like coming to this thread next week because I know it will be ugly, no matter who wins. Very sad. :(

Okay, okay, I have to admit I will probably be back next week because I just cannot resist posting tidbits like this that I just saw on Wikipedia (answering my own question about Scott Savol):

Savol recently finished a brief stint at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center in Lubbock, Texas, as the Cowardly Lion, in Todrick Hall's retelling of the Wizard of Oz. Oz, the Musical sold out both nights. He starred alongside Season Two alumni Rickey Smith as the Tinman, Season 4 alumna Mikalah Gordon as Dorothy, and Vonzell Solomon as Glinda/Aunt Em

Wow! What a ... er, reunion. Good old Mikalah. (Shudder!) I liked Vonzell, though. My goodness, I wonder who thought up that casting?! LOL!

That was tame compared to this :) But we were all accused of being racists when Vonzell (the third-runner up) was eliminated, LOL

I found this on Wikipedia:

Savol recently finished a brief stint at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center in Lubbock, Texas, as the Cowardly Lion, in Todrick Hall's retelling of the Wizard of Oz. Oz, the Musical sold out both nights. He starred alongside Season Two alumni Rickey Smith as the Tinman, Season 4 alumna Mikalah Gordon as Dorothy, and Vonzell Solomon as Glinda/Aunt Em.[1] He has an upcoming song titled "Don't Rush", produced by Washington, DC based production team The BeatMoguls, that is hitting the airwaves.
In June 2008 Savol starred as one of the headliners for a live music show in Branson, MO, named "America's Favorite Finalists". The show featured 6 top 12 American Idol Finalists performing their own music, cover songs and group numbers. The show ran at the Grand Palace and was produced by Steve Drummond, America's Favorite Finanlists.

Somehow I don't believe it will be ugly at all. Adam is a good singer, and so is Kris. Either winning will be ok.

Thanks Hetty. It is always good to hear from you. I know what you mean. Hopefully people can celebrate the talent that is on display.
