Fantasy Idol Results- A Rod Out Early

So one week of live Idol has come and gone and I have to say that I don't have a good feeling about the season ahead. That's not to say that the show has been great after one week of performances before (other than season two which was always fantastic), but this group looks pretty useless.

Maybe I was alone on Tim Urban was God Awful Island, but when he's making it through after a performance like that you know we have problems. Last night's results show was all but the same as always with Ryan slowly letting us know who is leaving us this week. Unfortunately the results were broken up by a performance by the terrible Allison Iraheta from last season. Was I the only one who fast-forwarded through the second half of this song 'cause it was so bad? I didn't get why they were promoting her return to the stage more than the current champion Kris Allen. "Oh we also have last year's winner here to perform a fantastic rendition of Let it Be."

On to the results. It's always interesting to me during these episodes when they don't give you actual Bottom Threes or Twos or whatever. Instead we just get to endure the suspense of Ryan pairing the final two contestants in a certain row and letting it be known that one of them is going home. Tonight those pairings were Janell Wheeler/Katie Stevens, Ashley Rodriguez/Didi Benami, Joe Muñoz/Tim Urban and Tyler Grady/Alex Lambert. The guys' pairings were great because most thought Urban was done and Lambert could have easily left us this week. But I don't understand the ladies' duos. Were we supposed to be worried that KS or Didi were going home? Again should've put them next to those that we might have thought were on their way out (Haley Vaughn).

And so with the first week of Fantasy Idol over, Mags is most likely crying in his soup (and then sending it to Andrew Bogut). Not only did his first round (3rd overall) pick get eliminated, but also his second round pick. Ouch. I'm wondering if any of the boys at Wall Street watched this with him or were there when he found out, because that is embarrassing. Yes Ashley Rodriguez and Joe Muñoz are gone. I don't think they should have left this early but they are gone. The bad news for Mags is that one of his final two players is Haley Vaughn.

I did lose one of mine in Tyler Grady, but I'm more than willing to sacrifice my team for the sake of the show. This dude was weird and I'm happy he's gone. Lar lost Janell Wheeler, but he will make do with two of the best dudes of the week in Casey James and Lee DeWyze.
