He should never have asked Simon his opinion about the high heels.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that Simon is trying to out Ryan. Something that I strongly believe should never happen; Simon's an ass. If Ryan wants to be out, it's his business and he should do it on his own agenda.<BR/><BR/>However, as quick and smart as Ryan is, he WAS in control of that conversation.<BR/><BR/>1) If the show hadn't been live, I bet they would have cut that dialogue out.<BR/><BR/>2) It was obvious that Melinda was uncomfortable with the conversation. It looked like she couldn't believe it was happening. (I'm sure you've recorded it too. Go back and look at it closely.)<BR/><BR/>3) I was REALLY surprised that they showed part of the banter again on Thursday night's recap of the previous night. Surely the producers would not have done that without some discussion with Ryan.<BR/><BR/>I guess I just don't know what to think.<BR/><BR/> - - -<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I believe that gay slurs will always be part of playground and locker room jokes ... unless more gays become part of the mainstream culture.<BR/><BR/> - - -<BR/><BR/>OK. -- One weak performer gone. Let's keep clearing the deck. ... And we only do that by voting for those we like. (This show might be more fun if the public could vote someone off.)<BR/><BR/>Where's Elliott?<BR/>.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877772974936424670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35985925.post-27507070394362093582007-03-16T08:49:00.000-04:002007-03-16T08:49:00.000-04:00"But lets keep it out of the show that is known as..."But lets keep it out of the show that is known as"American Idol". Why?....because this is a singing competition....right?"<BR/><BR/>Oh, I thought it was because being gay is un-American! :)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411657140164561266noreply@blogger.com
