American Idol: The end of Castro’s reign

I shouldn’t get upset over a reality show, but I’ve got to admit: Jason Castro got my dander up. Yes, he was finally eliminated Wednesday night, but there’s no way he should have survived as long as he did - and he knows it. Thousands of prospective performers would have killed to be in his place, and he treated it with a shrug and a lazy attitude that wouldn’t be tolerated at a Chucky Cheese.

His last line (Someone said I Shot the Tambourine Man) was funny, but it just showed how lightly he was taking a show that we seem to take more seriously than he does.

BTW, I don’t like to brag (well, yes I do) but I hope you remember that I said to watch out for Syesha back when there was 12 contestants. I know everyone thinks it’s going to be a David vs. David finale, but each of the guys has gotten more cowardly and shaky in the past couple weeks, while Syesha has taken chances and loosened up. OK, she’s still the least likely to win,  but It. Could. Happen. Next week is huge.
