American Idol--Scott Savol is Banished

It took weeks. Weeks upon weeks. Weeks had sex with weeks and created....more weeks. It felt like prison. Scott Savol could not get kicked off the show. It seemed like a cruel joke. The joke has mercifully ended. Scott was booted off of American Idol tonight. He frankly had no business sticking around longer than Constantine, or Jessica Sierra, or Nikko Smith, or Nadia Turner, or (insert any other contestant here).

The show started off with a decent rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Then the obligatory whoring of Ford products by the remaining Idols, although major props for choosing a song by The Specials (A Message To You Rudy).

Just to show how ridiculously stupid Scott Savol is, when Seacrest sent him and Fedorov back to the sofa, and kept Vonzell on the stage, he assumed that meant he was not going home...although Seacrest never said they were safe. Once Scott sat down, it looked like Anthony gave him the head's up that them being together was a sure sign that they were in the bottom, not Vonzell. Bo and Carrie sticking around on stage with Vonzell made it official. Before Scott found out he was in the bottom group, he did his weekly look to the heaven with the "aw shucks" attitude that he was so surprised. It was great.

So its back to Shaker Heights OH, and some anonymous job, and late nights whacking his girlfriend around. What a great life he has ahead of him.

I really have warmed to Bo. The guy has a great voice, and a self-assured stage presence. He should win this competition. Carrie remains achingly hot.

    I guess that you are so insecure that you find your balls in belittling others. One phrase sums you up “polyester wearing idiot” you’re the kind of loser that could not find a date in a whore house. If they had a show called American Idiot you would win hands down. Now go back to that home with a hitch ERRRRRR trailer, hook it up the at 76 vega and keep your pie hole closed. No one wants to hear your ugly pie hole spout off anymore.

    I'm bet the next headline about Savol is:

    "Booted Idol Goes Postal: Kills 30 in Rampage at FOX Studio"

    And how 'bout his parting comment on the token "goodbye" video clips:

    "I wanna be remembered as the guy who everybody loved."


    Man, if that's not a cry for help...

    scott was good, i dont believe that scott whould have won the competiion but i think anthony should have been voted off before him

    Dave---do you mean based on talent? I think talent wise they may have been even, but likeability wise, Anthony is a lot easier to like.

    Mrs. Savol, aka "The Bomb". I am sorry your son was booted off. Thanks for your comment. It was full of lots of great one-liners.

    Again, sorry for your loss.

    praise the lord! I said last week I wouldn't watch AI again until cocky ass got the boot up his fat ass, and I didn't. I see he's gone so I might tune in next week. Excellent job, America, you served some justice.

    I am soooo glad to hear that Scott is gone. Not only could he not sing for crap he was a cocky bastard. He thought that he was so great, I have no idea how he stayed on the show as long as he was.Next is Anthony!!! Hopefully Carrie will win.

    Thanks goodness Scott is gone. Otherwise we would just have to rename the show as American Idiot.

    Scott had ZERO likability about him. If you like him, well I could say some not nice things that aren't fair so I wont...

    I'm glad he is gone. He wasn't talented anymore than your average Joe. Perhaps that was his edge- the average Joe angle. But an idol is someone above the average man. That's kinda how that whole thing works.

    Oh my God!.Finally he is gone. I live in Venezuela but enjoy AI and that guy was driving me nuts. I kept thinking... What's wrong with these people in the U.S. Do the really think he's that good? Am I crazy or deaf?.Good job America, you didn't put a below average singer as your Idol.

    Aha! I see someone before me posted a comment mentioning the Devil and I was thinking that Satan's suit does not necessarily have to be dark (oh, Ryan!).

    Week after week my wife kept saying, "It has to be rigged." She compared Savol's ongoing "success" to the Angry Dwarf / Howard Stern / People Magazine Online Poll prank. I didn't believe her.

    Then I discovered VoteForTheWorst.com. Then I understood.

    (I note that the site now seems to be down. Here are a couple of news articles on the topic: All Headline News: Website Sabotages American Idol Search, Kansas City Star: Favorite of anti-`Idol' site out of contest.)

    HI Mac, long time no see! Yes, we have been well aware of the insidious plot to undermine the show's credibility. I'm not sure how much credit that one site should be given, however.

    Scott Savol and VoteForTheWorst.com are both gone, gone, gone! There is a God!
