Stacey Francis exits The X-Factor, Astro throws a fit after landing in the Bottom 2
On what was the most exciting episode of The X-Factor ever, we saw Stacey Francis FINALLY leave the competition after a horrible performance, plus Astro acted like a big baby on stage after landing in the Bottom 2.
I really like how they have re-worked the results show to space out Results and performances. The show started with a really good Group number, which featured LeRoy Bell forgetting to sing. I guess he forgot the performance wasn't lip-synched.
After the results we saw a boring recap of last night, then throughout the next 15 minutes of the Show, results were revealed kind of like Dancing with the Stars.
The real drama started AFTER the Bottom 2 was revealed to be Stacey Francis and Astro. Stacey Francis took the stage first and performed an off-key oversanf version of Amazing Grace. Which was kind of ironic, considering what we've seen from the online controversy about her past, she is a Scientologist.
After Stacey performed, Astro took the stage and immedietly said he didn't want to perform. He asked LA for his opinion, then decided to sing anyway. After the performance, both finalists took the stage to hear their fate. Stacey already started with the over the top dramatics by wiping her face with a tissue as if she was in Church.
All the Judges admonished Astro for his poor attitude, which made the 15-Year-Old rapper start crying.
Ultimately, it was Stacey Francis and her wet tissue who were sent home from the competition.
As the audience booed over the decision (Give me a break), Stacey continued to bring on the dramatic Diva attitude by wailing on about how she needed to take responsibility for her performance blah blah blah and how she'll blah blah blah *sniffle*.
Although Stacey seemed ok about her Elimination behind the scenes, Stacey went on about how Astro was "ungracious," and how she felt Simon, "Set up [her] demise." She also mentioned that Simon only praised his contestants on Wednesday night, proving Stacey Francis is a delusional sore loser, and has no right to to call Astro ungracious. Hypocrite much?
Anyway, next Tuesday the Top 9 will performe live, and hopefully Astro can get past this rough spot in the competition.

The X-Factor finalists impress with their performances, some of which aren't even Rock. WTF???
The X-Factor Top 10 took the stage last night and performed Rock music.
Althought for a few people that didn't do their best, I was very impressed with a lot of performances, even though there were some that could possibly not be considered as rock.
I will just sum up by telling that I liked and hated about last night's show, since I really don't have time for a full recap.
What I liked:
Astro really impressed me with his rendetion of P. Diddy's I'll be Missing You, in which he again changed the lyrics, and made it a song about all the Hip Hop legends that have died over the past few years. I really enjoyed it, although it reminded me of something we'd see as an "In Memorium" tribute to dead rappers at the BET Awards.
I also really liked Leroy Bell's performance of Bob Seger's Why Won't you Stay, even though two out of the 4 Judges called it boring (Simon and LA).
Speaking of Simon, did you guys see he now has a Twitter? Now we get to see what's in his head more than once a Week. SWEET!!!
But back to the performances, even though it WAS a little boring, I thought Melanie Amaro did an awesome job with R.E.M's Everybody Hurts.
Chris Rene, who I am a huge fan was just ok to be last night, with his Bob Marley performance. I hope he can get out of this gutter he's in, and make a comeback.
Rachel Crowe still continues to impress me, and continues to grow in my mind as a front runner in the competition. If she keeps it up, I could see her at least getting 4th Place.
What I disliked/hated:
I'll start off with Stacey Francis by saying, when she is good, she is real good, and when she's bad, she makes me want to Put my ears into a woodchipper. Last night, she was horrible with her performance of It's all Coming back to me Now. I really think she could be in trouble after that performance.
I also thought Drew didn't do her best with U2's With or Without You, and I feel she needs to step it up before the competition ends for her.
I am a huge Josh Krajcik fan, but last night, I was just in the middle about his performance. He should really stay away from the Alternative Rock, and stick to the smooth Blue-Eyed Soul he has impressed us with during the beginning of the Competition. He is NOT a rock singer.
I also feel Lakoda Rayne could put an end to Paula in the comp, they did a horrible job with Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way, and I think they need to Go their own way out of the Studio and take Stacey Francis with them.
Well, I guess we'll see after tonight who will be send packing, plus Rhianna performs (UGH). Until then, like Ultimate Reality on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Reality/275923089117298#!/pages/Ultimate-Reality/275923089117298?sk=wall

Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovsky sent packing on Dancing with the Stars, after once again proving, what disrespectful, sore losers they are.
After outstaying their welcome about five weeks, Hope Solo and the very arrogant Maksim Chmerkovsky were eliminated in last night's Dancing with the Stars results show.
It's been a long time coming for the couple, who have been openly disrespectful to the judges during their run, causing a bitter exchanging of words between Maksim and the Judges, where Maksim exclaiming that Dancing with the Stars was HIS show.
The hatred and disrespect hit a fever pitch as we saw during the results show, in a Behind-the-scenes look at before the couple began dancing where Maksim looked at Hope and said very arrogantly, "f**** em[the judges]." Sounds pretty level headed doesn't it.
Hope also went in on the douchy action telling the judges to "kiss [her] booty," after she had recieved 7s for their first dance, and later added, "What we did, nobody can do, so [Judges] give us your little 8s."
When Hope and Maks were announced to be in Jeopardy, Hope gave a digsgusting, arrogant smile like she was better than everyone.
So much for the drama. Next week the Final 3 couples; JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough will battle it out on Monday for the Mirror Ball Trophy at 8/7 Central on ABC.

Survivor's 24th Season rumors: Two Tribes seperated by gender, living on One Beach.
Survivor's 24th Season doesn't premier until February, but that hasn't kept our favorite spoiler site Survivor Sucks from finding out some info about the new season. According to the spoiler website, the 24th season will be entitled Survivor: One World and will borrow twists from past seasons.
The first major twist of the Season, is that Tribes will be divided Men vs Women. That's not all, both Tribes will live.......underwater.
Just kidding, this season the Two Tribes will live on one Beach. We have seen both twists to a degree before on the show. Survivor: Amazon and Survivor: Vanuatu both had Tribes seperated by Gender, and it worked out really well, and Survivor: Thailand featured the infamous Fake Merge which had both Tribes living on the same beach.
No word whether or not Redemption Island will return, however TrueDorkTimes shows a calander on their website which suggests Redemption Island will return.

The X-Factor = American Idol on Steroids
After much anticipation and shameless promoting, The X-Factor finally premiered last night on FOX. I have to say I was very excited leading up to the premier, and sure enough, it didn't disapoint. Between the good, bad, crazy, delusional, and sometimes Nude contestants, it was a very solid two hours.
It was fun to see Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul back together, and the addition of LA Reid and Nicole Sherzinger made the show even better. Plus the contestants were entertaining; and yes, very delusional at times.
The show got off to a good start with 13-Year-Old Rachel Crow who performed an ok rendetion of Duffy's Mercy. I say ok because why she has a good voice, she lacked control and seemed to hold the opening notes too long, "I'm begging youuuuuuu."
Although we got off to a good start with some really good auditions, including a 14-Year-Old boy who performed Cee Lo Green's Forget You causing every young teen girl in the audience to spontaneously have a seizure and a heart attack at the same time.
After a few good auditions like I said, the Auditions started to get Weird. The first Weird audition from the night name from the Artist regretfully known as Simeze. Yes Simeze had the confidence, and yes, the Arrogance to be a major superstar, he didn't measure up when it came to his voice, or his dancing.
Simeze, who said he idolized Prince performed a song and dance that would make any nursing home patient in america flatline due to shock. This included him dancing on the floor, and taking his shirt off to reveal what appeared t obe a see-through piece of material equivalent to a Wal-Mart bag.
Now of course the Judges didn't pass him through......think again. All the Judges, except for Rand...I mean LA sent him through to the next round.
Another reason the show was more like getting your teeth drilled into came in the form of a very old couple, Dan and Vanita, who said they would travel the world visiting retirement homes in an Rv if they won. This migh tbe better in the long run, considering most of their audience won't care what the hell they sound like. they wailed Unchained Melody, Simon's favorite song. Next time they need to make sure they start the song at the right time, because they started a verse late, and seemed to screech the song more than sing it.
We also met delusional, and possibly insane Nici Collins, who performed Best of my Love by the Emitions. I would have rather hear William Hung sing the song instead of her. The song wasnt even recognizeble, and included screaming the words.
Finally, the most weird audition of the name came in form of possible Mental Hospital escape patient Geo Godley; and Godley he is not. It started off rather tame, as he sang about being a stud, however it culminated when he literally went against Larry Platt's advice and dropped his pants, revealing his "Backup mic." He not only scarred millions of people, but caused Paula to vomit.
We also saw two very good auditions from Marcus Canty, who performed an awesome rendition of Stevie's Higher Ground, and recovering Addict Chris who performed an original song.
Tonight we see another Audition episode that HOPEFULLY doesnt feature any flashers, or Prince wannabees.
