Idol Heartbreak
So, the Tyrant was all set to do the "Bye-Bye Carmen" dance. (yes, there really is such a dance.) When what happens? NO ONE is voted off the show last night! What is that about?!?! What else is Idol good for, if not to shatter the hopes and dreams of pop star wannabees, every week, on schedule, for my entertainment?

My co-conspirator sums up the situation quite nicely. We were not entirely publicly united in our front, and this allowed for a small flaw in the timing of our plan. True, Corey was eliminated in the correct order, and even without being technically voted off. Pretty impressive, if I do say so myself. I'd almost underestimated the powerful persuasion of the alliance, via blog. But after Corey's untimely demise, our goal for this week was to send Carmen home crying last night. This freakish turn of events, with the non-elimination show (which I would argue is technically against the law and could be considered an Idol competition crime at this point) has thrown us for a loop. But ultimately it merely delays the inevitable demise of Carmen.

We have learned our lesson. Make no mistake, the shock and awe phase of the Idol coalition is in progress. For the greater good of ridding Idol annoyances once and for all, we stand united in our quest to oust Carmen swiftly, immediately, and without loss of innocent casualties along the way. Once the Carmen obstacle is out of the way, we will move steadily towards the next target, until victory is at hand. For now, be warned: Carmen will be sent packing next week.

The alliance has spoken.
