The last semifinal group warbled their way through American Idol last night, and while no one stood out, there were participants who were clearly better than others.
Susie Vulaca may continue the trend of lead-off singers making the finals (Matt Rogers and Diana DiGarmo were both lead-off singers for their groups), while Jasmine Trias is likely to double the number of Hawaiians currently in the finals. George Huff, who got a fair amount of camera time early in the season for looking "too old," will also challenge for a finals spot. Which is ironic, given that he's a replacement semifinalist (the original guy was involved in some legal trouble and summarily dumped from the competition). I'd be surprised if one of the other five singers made the top three, but it's possible.
I'll go with George and Jasmine as the finalists, though I think Susie was a little better than Jasmine.
On America's Next Top Model, the girls were shipped out to Milan to get some experience in go-see meetings (which are basically short interviews for modeling jobs) and do a photo shoot for sunglasses. All five seemed to be getting along - until Camille intimated to the group (including Tyra!) that Yoanna was in the bathroom throwing up after dinner. Camille tried to play it off as her simply noting that Yoanna disappears a lot, but given the sort of body issue stuff that Yoanna's neurotic about, a five year old could have connected the dots.
And in the end, Camille was dropped, as much for her personality (or lack thereof) as for her transparent attempt to shank Yoanna. Though in a confessional scene Camille said she was going to kill Yoanna with kindness. Clearly, Camille's definition of kindness differs from what you'd find in Webster's. Mercedes survived the final cut, but is looking like the next drop not that she's been tagged as being "too commercial."
The show ended with a juicy preview, as putative front-runner Shandi, uh, "takes the cannoli" from an Italian hottie and then has to 'fess up to her boyfriend about it.
