"Round of 7: 70s Dance Music" - April 19-20

Gordon: Okay, this is Gordon Pepper, and welcome to the Round of 7. Joining us are the usual gang of zanies
Jason: Zanies?
Rachel: Well, I know I resemble that remark!
Gordon: Starting with the bowling Zany, Anthony Rojas. Say something, Rojas
Anthony: Burp!
Gordon: Great. We have our hosting zany, Joe Van Ginkel!
Joe: Salute!
Gordon: We have Mr. Beat The Zany - Jason Block!
Jason: 14-0 and still going strong! Good evening, all.
Gordon: We have the pulse of being Zany... Michelle!
Michelle: :-* to all
Gordon: The newbie and Comic Book Zany, Rachel Kadushin!
Rachel: Yah, too warm for long-johns today, have to go with spandex.
Gordon: And finally, the co-web Zany, Chico Alexander!
Chico: Zany is as zany does, captain...
Gordon: So we start off this episode with Accuracy...or idiocy. You know the deal. I'll give a statement and you say if it's accurate or idiotic. Here we
go with #1....

The best performance on yesterday's show was Bo Bice. Accurate or Idiotic?

Rachel: Accurate!
Jason: From what I saw on the clips...accurate.
Chico: Hmm... Accuracy. The only person who played on his strength... Well, one of the only... He was just the best at it.
Michelle: Accurate.
Gordon: Accurate - and I think that Vonzell is a close second.
Michelle: I agree on that one.
Rachel: Vonzell could be a solo artist with the right material.
Gordon: #2...

Because Bo sang lights out, Constantine is in trouble.

Chico: Idiocy. Sure they may rein in the same audience, but Constntine has more crossover appeal, which may save him in the end.
Jason: Accuracy.
Jason: Chaos Theory in full effect.
Gordon: I agree with Jason - I think Constantine could be in a world of hurt tonight.
Rachel: This week.... idiocy. Maybe if he goes two in a row.
Chico: Hmmm.. Split panel.
Rachel: Also Constantine had a new expression this week, for the first time ever!
Gordon: Oooooh...Aaaaaahhhh.
Chico: A new expression?
Rachel: He was much more relaxed while singing. It was a full teeth smile.
Gordon: Next?

Though there has to be a 'worst', no performance there yesterday was awful.

Chico: Ah. I'll give you that one. Accuracy.
Rachel: Accuracy!
Jason: Accuracy.
Chico: No one performance stood out as bad.
Jason: There was no Mikalah Gordon.
Michelle: Drag Queen!
Jason: Or some of the stink bombs that Anthony or Scott laid.
Michelle: Don't mention that fabulous chic again please.
Rachel: Please, dressed by drag queens isn't the same as being one.
Jason: LOL.
Gordon: Next one...

According to Gordon's Chaos Theory, Anwar, Vonzell and Bo are all safe. Based on the performances last night, one of them moved into the trouble section.

Chico: True.
Jason: Accuracy. Anwar Robinson.
Chico: Also true.
Rachel: What Jason said.
Gordon: I have to agree. Way to screw up my chaos theory by giving the worst performance of the night.
Chico: If you want to do Earth Wind & Fire, you better be able to hit the
falsetto.
Gordon: #5....

Despite everyone demanding it, once again, we will see either Scott or
Anthony avoiding the bottom three.


Jason: Accuracy.
Rachel: Accuracy. Anthony did quite well last night.
Chico: Accuracy. Anthony saved his can.
Rachel: ...though three years of Latin dancing?
Gordon: Accuracy... but the other direction. I think it's Scott who saved
himself.
Rachel: Scott saved himself from being out. I think he'll still be in the
"trouble" category.
Gordon: It's Anthony Fedorov, the Russian/Latin sensation!
Chico: No! No! Too sexy too sexy!!!
Rachel: Oddly enough, because he wore blue jeans (Scott that is). 'Cause Bo, Vonzell and um the blond girl Carrie are Sexy.
Gordon: Speaking of which...
Joe: lol

The sexiest person on Idol is....Carrie Underwood

Michelle: Idiocy. I don't think she's sexy.
Jason: Idiocy.
Chico: Physically? Accuracy. Mentally? Idiocy.
Rachel: Idiocy, but she's got loyal voters.
Michelle: She's pretty has that girl next door thing but sexy? Nope.
Jason: None of them really hit me on the "Schwing" meter.
Chico: Accuracy!
Gordon: I like...Vonzell.
Jason: Of course you do Gordon :)
Gordon: Of course I do.
Rachel: If I liked girls... I'd go with Vonzell too! She's admirable without  being skanky from the fem point of view.
Jason: Mr. Choco-Vanilla =)
Gordon: She can swing those legs and that body. Yum.
Rachel: Bo has to lay aside the artistic chest hair design.
Jason: (chuckling to myself).
Rachel: Maybe you guys talked about that in a previous week.
Jason: And Constantine is creepy.
Gordon: ok...last one...
Jason: LAST ONE!

Alex Trebek was really in the audience because, like Todd Newton, he's auditioning for the Idol Job! Watch out, Seacrest!

Chico: Uhhh... No.
Gordon: Well, we had to have one silly thing in there.
Jason: Big Idiocy!
Chico: Not like he needs the work anyway. J!'s on ... forever and ever...
amen. =p
Gordon: Amen! Let's get serious with....SAFE OR TROUBLE!!!!!
Joe: Here we go again.
Gordon: I give you person. You say Safe, Trouble or Out
Rachel: So hard this week.
Gordon: But first, some points...

Jason: Safe...
Anthony: trouble
Joe: safe
Rachel: Eeeh. This one is the upset.. trouble.
Chico: She's not as consistent as many of her competition.
Anthony: Agreed
Gordon: Safe - but she's going to be trouble the first time she screws up a
song people actually pay attention to.
Rachel: She's looking forced and nervous lately.
Chico: Last night just proved the point, and I'm glad someone thinks the same as I do. *bows to Rachel*
Rachel: *bow, meet eyes*

Scott Savol

Chico: Safe... for now.
Gordon: I think the express for him ends tonight - Out.
Michelle: trouble.
Joe: Trouble.
Gordon: I don't think he's the worst - I just think there's too much  congestion there and someone has to go.
Jason: Actually I need to change that to trouble. But he is going back to
the bench.
Rachel: I don't know, he had the tightest pants...
Chico: There's a new factor in voting...
Gordon: Ok - to sum this up...
 
  TROUBLE OUT
Gordon Anwar & Constantine Anthony
Jason Anthony & Anwar Scott
Chico Anwar & Carrie Scott
Rachel Scott & Carrie Anwar
Michelle Anwar & Anthony Scott
Rojas Anwar & Carrie Scott
Joe Anwar & Anthony Constantine

Chico: Uh oh.
Jason: You and Anthony are thinking alike this week, Chico.
Anthony: :P
Chico: That's what I'm afraid of.
Gordon: BE AFRAID.
Rachel: Yeah, the loyalist voters are going to make the real difference.
Anthony: It's the ROJAS theory.
Gordon: Rojas theory so far...not good.
Anthony: Keep talking, Gordon.
Chico: Sun has to shine on him someday...
Gordon: ok - 0.5 Wild Card question. If you can stick ONE MORE person as the other person, who would it be? (You get 1/2 point for it).
Jason: Carrie.
Gordon: Scott.
Chico: Anthony.
Anthony: Anthony.
Chico: Stop that, Anthony! :)
Anthony: lol.
Rachel: One more person in trouble? Anthony.
Michelle: Constantine for me.
Rachel: I think Scott would have been safe if he wore dress pants... instead of blue jeans.
Gordon: I think the very different opinions means that this is the best group of people ever.
Jason: That I agree.
Chico: Yeah, like you said. Last night was probably one of the best shows this season.
Anthony: I think the final 5 will be tough.
Gordon: I think it's tough now.
Chico: Very much so. Have we achieved some sort of ideality here?
Anthony: Not unless there's an upset.
Rachel: Well, I think we're pretty much that Vonzell and Bo will be in final  5. If Carrie and Constantine also make it, then...
Anthony: It will be tougher.
Gordon: I don't think you will see a Vonzell, Bo, Carrie, Constantine Final 4 Rachel: You think one of the "rockers" will get cut?
Joe: Yes.
Chico: Gut instinct says before final 3.
Gordon: Yep.
Rachel: Constantine may be happier as a soap opera star or Vegas act. But he has the teeny boppers.
Gordon: Would anyone be shocked if Constantine left tonight?
Rachel: Yeah.
Jason: Yes.
Rachel: Shocked.
Chico: Not really. Nothing surprises me anymore. Actually, nothing SHOCKS me anymore. I'd be surprised, but not shocked.
Anthony: Vonzell in the bottom 3 would shock me.
Jason: WE are LIVE.
Joe: Let's get ready to rumble.
Gordon: It's time to see what America has done this week.
Jason: Seacrest is back to rock star schlock wear.
Chico: Which means someone expected will leave?
Gordon: Or could it be...unexpected? Surprises work much better when unannounced.
Chico: Really the only two options...
Gordon: Who will be driven into the arms of entertainment news tomorrow? Is that a dig on Kim Caldwell?
Chico: Ouch.
Gordon: That sofa is looking empty with only 7 people left.
Chico: Bo doesn't have a Star... like Ryan does.
Gordon: Bo says that he doesn't have a star on the walk of fame, and in  something obviously planned, we see a Ryan Seacrest gets a Walk of Fame Star video.
Chico: Nigel and Ken... obviously pleased...And Ryan... yeah, the bash
video. "His grasp of language is so superb," says Nigel Lythgoe (EP) "He can get the best out of children... and animals," says Ken Warwick (another EP).
Jason: Those were goats.
Chico: "His timing's perfect."
Gordon: Well, I thought the clip was a hootenanny.
Chico: Definitely a VW moment :)
Gordon: And something that we haven't seen in a while...a GROUP NUMBER!
Chico: Specially written by John Farrar.
Gordon: Famous for making Olivia Newton-John look good.
Jason: My GF loves Xanadu :)
Gordon: Can he make the Idols look good with the song 'You Can Shine'? Each Idol plays instruments
Jason: Carrie on Guitar, Anwar on Keyboards.
Gordon: Well except Vonzell and Scott, who's hideously off-key.
Chico: Vonzell and Scott singing...or trying...
Jason: Bo on Guitar.
Chico: Constantine and Anthony singing.
Gordon: The song is pretty good. The Idolers would be good...if they were in tune and in unison.
Anthony: Yuck.
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: If Olivia sang this song, it would be good.
Joe: lol
Gordon: oh my goodness - what was that last note?
Chico: I have.. no idea.
Joe: Ack
Michelle: shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!
Jason: And commercial time.
Chico: Okay, did anyone notice that the whole number was just one garbled mess?
Gordon: I couldn't hear you, Chico. There was a blood curdling scream coming from my TV antennas. What did you say?
Anthony: umm
Chico: There was no cohesion. The harmonies weren't there..
Rachel: Well... it looks like the song writers was given the phrase "a moment like this" and wrote the rest around it.
Chico: Not true. They were also given the word "Shine".
Anthony: lol
Rachel: I thought Scott and Vonzell did well on harmonies.
Chico: But you know, when all 7 are singing, it's... yeah.

(This show was brought to you by the Hollywood Walk of Fame. YOU can get your own star - for 15 Gs. Maybe if you won this Friday's Megamillion...)

Joe: lol
Jason: We're BACK!
Chico: "Rock This Town," the Ford video/commercial this week..
Gordon: And we have the Ford commercial - the BIG HEAD version
Jason: Ok this is bizarre.
Michelle: oh boy.
Chico: Holy (^_^) it's the Sims!
Joe: Ack.
Gordon: The last time I saw this, I was playing NBA Jam.
Jason: Not as bad as the puppets...but ACK.
Gordon: We finally get to see yesterday's recaps.
Chico: Anwar split the panel on September. Carrie got attention with "Barbie meets the Stepford Wives."
Gordon: Bo and Randy don't like Constantine. Scott and Anthony are mixed.
Chico: And Vonzell? She outsang Chaka Khan. And she outshone her, too...But it's Bo's show.
Gordon: Bo knows shows.
Jason: Bo knows Idol.
Gordon: Does Bo know the bottom three this week?
Chico: Let's go to the result!
Gordon: 2 groups of three. One group is the top three. The other is in the
bottom three.
Chico: Vonzell hopes to be every woman... Far side. Anthony doesn't want to take away his place...Near side. Anwar ... someone say September. He joins... Anthony.
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: I say bottom three.
Joe: I'm with Gordon.
Chico: Constantine with the Nights on Broadway...
Gordon: Constantine joins... Vonzell, and we go... to break.
Jason: Boo hiss.
Chico: That's mean. Even for Seacrest.
Joe: ROFL.
Gordon: You know the obvious question - which side is the happy side and  which side is the not-so-happy side?
Jason: Happy C and V.
Chico: I'm guessing the near-siders are bottom.
Rachel: That's why Bo is last. Whatever group he's in is the top group.
Gordon: The 1 thing I do know - Chico and Anthony won't have them all right.
Chico: Who is, really?
Joe: Neither will I, I think.
Gordon: Nope - the only person who can have them all right is...Jason.
Jason: I will :)
Gordon: Does anyone think that Constantine, Vonzell and someone else in in the bottom 3?
Joe: ROFL
Jason: Nope.
Gordon: We're back. Carrie gets to MacArthur Park with Vonzell and Constantine.
Jason: Yup :)
Gordon: Scott goes with Anthony and Anwar - and he does not look too happy about it
Jason: (does the happy me dance).
Chico: Bo's safe. Duh :)
Gordon: Bo is happy on the couch, because he's safe.
Jason: Ouch.
Gordon: Ryan tells him to join the group that he thinks is the top group, as
the group curses him out.
Chico: He ... is in the middle?
Michelle: Middle.
Jason: Nice F U.
Chico: Very nice. The REAL results after the break.
Jason: Just as good as the crowd at MSG right Joe :) Wrestling reference to Raw, Joe :)
Gordon: Who is in the bottom - Carrie's Group or Anthony's Group?
Joe: Anthony's.
Chico: Anthony's.
Michelle: Anthony's.
Joe: I would LIKE it to be Carrie's, but...
Gordon: I can't see Carrie, Vonzell and Constantine ALL in the bottom. I'll
go with Anthony.
Jason: And we are back.
Gordon: Bo refuses to take a side.
Chico: Told you.
Jason: BOO-YAH!
Anthony: so much for that.
Gordon: He goes to Carrie's group, and they are all...safe
Chico: Bo steps to the right... and joins the safe group.
Jason: Mega-Dap CIty!
Joe: Ouchies.
Gordon: Jason - why are they all here? or should I do it?
Chico: Because that song reeked of safety! (Anwar's)
Jason: You do it.
Gordon: Anthony and Scott are splitting their Pop vote, so they both arrive
here, while Anwar easily gave the worst performance. Anwar's song was 'Safe', which isn't good enough...and in this case, it really isn't good enough, because he's gone.
Chico: Anwar is GONE.
Michelle: Bye bye Anwar.
Jason: Nice job Rachel...you had him out.
Chico: He says that he's learning to have fun again. He is all about the
intricacies of music.
Michelle: What's with the pants?
Jason: Gordon, explain this one please for the internet audience.
Gordon: Anwar sang the worst performance out of all of them, which sent him packing.
Joe: And we had him winning the contest eight weeks ago.
Gordon: Most of America had him winning the contest 8 weeks ago.
Chico: Him or Mario.
Joe: And yet he didn't bring it. Tough rocks for him.
Rachel: They were his audition pants. (thanks, Jason)
Gordon: This year, with the competition THIS tight, it's very evident that you sing well, or you go home.
Chico: I agree. So to say that I'm not surprised that Anwar is gone...
Accurate. On that, we're going to tally the totals...
Gordon: The points...

Gordon - 20.5
Chico - 18.5
Jason - 18
Anthony - 15.5
Joe - 14
Michelle - 8
Rachel - 7

Gordon: Jason closes the gap between me and Chico. Anthony...just sits  there and can tell me how much I suck.
Chico: On that, we're going to call it a night. Top 6, more songs, more  highs, more lows, more PANTS! And while Rachel and Gordon argue about half a point, we're going to get out. For Rachel, Gordon, Joe, Jason, Anthony, Micki, and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander. Good night and good singing :)
Gordon: So for the gang, this is Gordon, wishing you all a pleasant evening.
Jason: Good night!
