[last week, Haley Scarnato was in the "bottom 2"...how much of her "top 2" will she show this week in an effort to stave off elimination???]

* Press play:

The DHMBIB war room recently acquired TiVo-esque capabilities. This will allow us to make our AI live-blogging more accurate not-funny-but-stupid enjoyable for you, Dear Readers. We still plan to live-blog, but we will go back and watch the proceedings again and add even more snark after the fact [and, yes, we will indicate that we have updated the blog].

You can thank us later.

* [Still thinking of a clever title here... -- Ed.]:

Due to Fox trying to cram in records amount of commercials during the Wednesday results show, they have paid short shrift to things like, oh, the IDOLS, and the judges, and such. Even the "group song" has disappeared!!! All of this has made live-blogging the results show in any entertaining or informative way an exercise in impossibility. We have been reviewing changing the way we blog the results show, and we may experiment with some of those changes this week. Also, our new TiVo-esque capabilities should help. And finally, this is the week that the Wednesday results shows expand to 1 hour in length -- more Jennifer Lopez this week!!! -- so that should ease congestion somewhat, as only 35-40 minutes or so of that will be commercials and promos for Idol and Fox.

* Maybe Chris Richardson really is "the next Justin Timberlake"??? After all, he is "bringing D-List-romance back"...:

If you care about such things, JT-lookalike-but-not-singalike Chris Richardson has recently been linked to both AI6 semifinalist Alaina Alexander and The Hills star Lauren "LC" Conrad.
