Now what?

Well, Sanjaya's gone--and with him about 50% of the drama has been sucked out of this year's show. Unfortunately, half of the finals still remain.

If it weren't for Jordin Sparks, I’m not sure I'd watch; this is definitely the least interesting top six since the first year of the show.

And with Blake and LaKisha in the bottom three this past week, AI's in danger of having two bland, untalented contestants crashing the final four.

Who knows—-maybe somebody will rise out of this morass of boredom and surprise us.

Barring that, I'm rooting hard for Jordin to win over Melinda in what would be a major upset.

Either that, or maybe Simon will smack someone this week.
