Awarded To: The best reality competition personality
No Previous Awards

Place. Nominee (Series) Points (My Vote)

5. Phil Keoghan (Amazing Race) 2 points

4. Adam Levine (The Voice) 2 points (3rd)

3. Tom Colicchio (Top Chef) 3 points

and the Poolie goes to...

1. Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) 11 points (1st)

This is Ryan Seacrest's first Poolie nomination and first even win for the best reality competition personality award.

With Simon good and gone, Seacrest wasn't forced into awkward moments with the mean Brit that always made me want to kill myself.  He simply killed it up there on stage this year.  Albeit he does have the advantage of being around Randy, Jennifer, Steven and a bunch of terrible contestants for an entire season, but he still was one of if not the best part of American Idol this year.

Fantasy Idol Results- Personality of a Mailbox

Pops- "I'll be right back, I'm gonna go put my head in the oven."

That is absolutely how bad the conversation between Seacrest and the final three contestants was last night. I envy those who fast forwarded to the end last night, don't watch the results show at all, or have quit on Idol all together, because the ten minute heart to heart between Seacrest, Casey, Lee and Crystal was brutal to watch. Honestly I haven't heard a more boring conversation since Andy Stitzer rambled about making an egg salad sandwich. At first I thought that they need to stop talking to the contestants because it's just completely awkward, but then I realized that it was just the fact that no one on this season has a speck of personality. If Adam Lambert were being asked the questions, I'd be engaged. Even David Cook was a good speaker. But these three? Terrible.

Fantasy Idol Results- Seacrest, Chill Out

Ellen- "I actually feel more mariachi."

Ellen continued her good week with a few more comfortable and funny moments during tonight's show. Meanwhile Seacrest is getting more and more like Jeff Probst on these results shows, and that's not a good thing. As Probey Probst does during tribal council, Seacrest has begun to over probe the Idols when it's time to hear the results. He's giving them difficult questions that have no real way of being answered. He's also allowing them to go on and on when he should just interrupt them so that don't sound so stupid, which they all eventually do. I really liked Lee DeWyze before he was forced to talk so much. Please stop doing this Ryan.

There were a few good things to come out of the first Finals results night. The production to start the episode was a major improvement on past years' Last Night's Recap. Secondly, it was great to see David Cook back on the Idol stage, where he performed well with Jumping Jack Flash. And finally, I liked that they changed it so the losing contestant doesn't have to sing the same song they just got eliminated for. It didn't help change the judges mind tonight, but it might in the weeks to come.

And now to the results...Kieran dim the lights. Safe, safe, safe. Bottom three was not much of a surprise as Paige Miles, Tim Urban and Lacey Brown found themselves in the uncomfortable silver stools. As Tim was the first to be relieved from the peculiar position, he once again went into his shocked out of his mind routine that is really starting to tick me off. Get a life pal. Just be happy, give the others a hug and sit down.

Who went home? Lacey Brown. Quiet Pool is 1 for 1 during the finals. Here's another reason why the finals are better than the semifinals. It's much more likely that the better contestants will advance on the big stage. Many people don't start watching until the finals and therefore the semifinals is voted on by more diehard fans. In the finals the casual fans join in and vote for who performs the best. In the semis you most likely get the fans of contestants who don't care what happens during the show, because they are gonna vote for their favorite no matter what.
