I did my workout while American Idol was on. Like most, I only care about the auditions and the finale of that show (when there's nothing else going on), but this season became a question of "What will Tatiana del Toro do next?" Aside from being completely annoying until her last hurrah, she struck me as self-centered (as hell) both before and after the group performance. Seems fitting that she went up against the Danny Gokey guy my mother says looks like me (it's the goatee) and lost (Everyone has an evil twin--I guess I'm his?). Like there was any other possible outcome? I mean the guy was good and he lost his wife a year ago. On top of that, he's not annoying.

It was kind of ironic to see Tatiana hanging on the arm of fellow rejectee Stevie Wright (who looks like a cross between Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson) whom you would never know from maturity is, in fact, seven years younger than Her Majesty The Exhalted Precious Snowflake Princess Tatiana del Taco. Grow up and try again, kid, just be more personable next time and people will like you. You gain nothing by being yourself when you're a living root canal. If you were honest about the annoying you not being the real you, you will go far.

(A pound of post-workout skin salt crust says she reads this while googling her name.)
