There's not much to say about an American Idol episode with a disco theme. Well, there is, but it'd mostly be expletives. Oddly enough, it was less vocally painful than the last couple of weeks, but I really don't care for disco. Donna Summer was this week's guest judge, and actually gave criticism, which was refreshing.

This would be the umpteenth week in a row that I'd guess Jasmine Trias was going, especially after how badly she performed compared to the other three contestants. I won't even start on her crimped hair. But she's proving to be popular beyond anything her singing would suggest, so I'm guessing Diana gets the gate.

More fun came after this, when UPN gave us an America's Next Top Model special catching us up on the 12 contestants from this season. A few of the women are making a go at modeling, though appearances in Maxim and FHM seemed more common than runways shows or high fashion shoots. There's also a healthy percentage that aren't quite back in front of the camera - though they're all planning to get there. Of course. Most frigtening was the scene where two contestants were doing a line reading for a UPN flack. I don't think we're ready for America's Next Top Sitcom.
