Some Pre-Show Thoughts

Firstly, can I just say how excited I am that Chanel is singing “Stop”? It is going to be So Good - Seventh Day Adventist style. On Friday night during the post work drink-fest in The Rocks, a few of us began discussing Idol and we were all agreed that Chanel will - nay, MUST - kick so much arse with this song. For me personally, it will mean I may regain the deep love I felt for her that has briefly waned over the past few weeks of coyness and eyelash fluttering…

Other things discussed over the night with fellow Idol enthusiasts Scott and Sal (in between random Marty impersonations - let’s just say it involves one leg being in front of the other as you hold your arm up in the air and sing up passionately in full-on eighties rock poseur fashion) included

• Marty is shit and annoying (Jess)
• Marty is excellent and likable (Scott & Sal)
• Casey will kick much arse this week (Scott)
• Casey is terrible and should be booted this week (Sal)
• Hayley should also go (Sal)
• Chanel will take “Stop” to a whole new level (Jess, Scott & Sal)
• Anthony Calea will probably win due to the teenage girl vote (Scott)
• Anthony Calea will get to the final two due to the teenage girl vote but will suffer from Blairitis* which will prevent him from taking the crown. (Jess)

As you can see, we have a tendency to talk rubbish when drunk.

• Blairitis - a disease named after the first known sufferer, Blair McDonough from Big Brother I. The sufferer (normally a contestant on a reality show) is propelled to fame and success due to the unwavering fanatical support of teenage girls and their pre-paid mobile plans. Average viewers will allow this to happen through out the series, perpetuating a belief that the sufferer is a “shoe in” to win the competition - until the final episode of the show, when the average viewers will suddenly come out in droves to vote for the first time and unexpectedly knock the Blairitis sufferer out of the competition.
