Wow, good catch. That *is* a pair of "spiders" in that Gherkin pic from 2004! Never worn 'em before, eh? Hah! and double hah! :)
She just annoys me. If she'd just get up and sing and then shut up, I'd be okay with her. But that incredible dissonance between her singing persona (sultry blonde/trailer park mama) and her way-overdone sweet li'l Becky Thatcher schtick really annoys me.
As for Chicken Little, the judges brought this one on themselves. They thought he was "cute," so they let him through, just like the wee li'l cowboy before him. Now, like a tick, he's burrowed in for the duration. But I will give him props for realizing exactly what his place in the competition is. If I were him, I'd do my best to stick around too!
Exactly. He is who he is. He doesn't try to pretend to be someone else, and he goes along with the joke of him being a "sex symbol."
Can't believe I'm defending little red, but didn't she say she'd never worn such LONG false eyelashes before?
