Jason: This is substitute host Jason Block here with the AI Final Four Roundtable. I am here with Rachel Rachel and Game Show Man Joe Van Ginkel. Gordon Pepper will be along shortly. We start by discussing the ramifications of last week's special. Rachel, your thoughts?
Rachel: Oh. Well I thought it was irresponsible journalism to have an hour segment on a press release rumor. I could understand... that's how TV works.
Jason: Do you believe Corey? Does any body believe him?
Joe: No.
Rachel: I think it is plausible that they had a hot tub moment, but nothing more than that.. and really not enough to even prove that Hollywood experience. Paula Abdul has all of this physical therapy stuff going on, she'd be in the hot tub a lot.
Jason: Ok, next question...does Paula survive to AI 5?
Rachel: I think Paula has been getting a lot of love from the co-hosts, Ryan and the cast. She's a bundle of love and talent... and people like that.
Jason: So the answer is she will, you think?
Rachel: She's one of the trail blazers for the concept of an American Idol. Unless they were going to get another former pop star... but I don't think anyone would be as nice as her. And we want nice, so, yes.
Jason: Joe? what do you think?
Joe: I think Clark is just trying to get 15 more minutes in the spotlight.
Jason: And now..it's time for a little Accuracy or Idiocy...First question...

Anthony Fedorov was the best singer on the show last night.

Joe: IDIOCY!
Jason: Who do you think it was?
Joe: That title belongs to Carrie Underwood.
Jason: As you will see later on in my predictions...I think she is going home tonight.
Rachel: IDIOCY! Carrie was the worst -- Anthony was third or second.
Jason: And my answer for the record is ACCURACY! Which will save him for tonight.
Joe: Really...
Jason: Next question...

The only person who is truly safe tonight is Vonzell.

Rachel: I don't know. Unless she gets a lot of pity votes. I don't think Vonzell is the safe one. I think it is Bo.
Joe: You would, Bo Fan. :-D
Jason: Who do you think is the Safe one, Joe?
Joe: I think it's Carrie. I think she was better than anyone else.
Jason: And I think Vonzell is the safe one. This is fun...Next one...
Joe: BTW, you'll note NONE of us picked Anthony as safe.
Jason: So Noted.
Joe: <Kornheiser>NEXT!</K>
Jason: How about this one...

If Mario Vasquez was still in the competition at this time, he would be beat any of the other four.

Joe: I'll take ACCURACY on this one. Guess we'll never know, though.
Jason: I will take ACCURACY too, though I think the final four is strong.
Jason: Yes we did.

(Brought to you by Scotty's Body Shop. Your place for lots of attitude... and maybe a few flying objects.)

Gordon: Hi all.
Joe: Whee.
Jason: Ok Gordon, fire away. We are starting Safe or Trouble.
Gordon: OK - we're going to do Safe or Trouble this week a little differently.
Joe: Well.
Gordon: We are going to start... by you putting down the person who is the SAFEST. The person who you would be SHOCKED if they were out.
Jason: Safest-Vonzell.
Rachel: Bo.
Joe: Safest = Carrie Underwood.
Gordon: I say Vonzell.
Anthony: Bo.
Gordon: OK - next up - the second safest. This is the person who probably will also not be at the bottom.
Jason: Anthony.
Joe: #2 - Vonzell.
Rachel: Vonzell.
Gordon: Bo.
Anthony: Carrie.
Gordon: Wow - all over the place.
Gordon: Next - #3 - This is the person who will be in trouble - but not out.
Joe: Bo.
Jason: Bo.
Rachel: Anthony.
Gordon: Carrie.
Anthony: Vonzell.
Gordon: And FINALLY...- Who's Out?
Jason: Rachel says Anthony is in trouble.
Gordon: Anthony.
Jason: And Rachel and I say Carrie is out.
Anthony: Anthony.
Gordon: ok - I'm screwed - Anthony agrees with me.
Joe: Anthony.
Gordon: Anthony AND Joe agree with me - I'm really screwed.
Joe: This is MY week for vengance. Anthony should've been gone last week. This is his week to go bye-bye.
Gordon: To sum it up...

Jason: And we are LIVE!
Joe: LIVE spelled backwards is EVIL! ;-D
Jason: Ryan snazzy in a suit and tie.
Joe: Ryan's wearing a TIE?!?! Cook me in oil and call me an American fry.
Gordon: Everyone is smiling - except Bo. We get an emotional recap and Simon goes off on Bo...Vonzell had a rough day and cries. Anthony thinks he's already there - but could there be the door out?
Joe: (Let's hope so. Sorry Anthony. :-D)
Gordon: Second set - Bo redeems himself, Vonzell brings the house down, Carrie and Anthony take on the same second song - and Anthony trumps Carrie... except Simon hated both of them.
Jason: The Final Four sings "Islands in the Stream".
Gordon: What about vote me off of the Islands of the stream?
Joe: Wrong show, Gordon. That would be your precious little Survivor. :-D
Gordon: After that first verse, you could have fooled me.
Joe: ROFL.
Gordon: They do redeem themselves, thanks to Vonzell and Anthony (did I just say Anthony?).
Rachel: Carrie really looked like she listened to comments about her not being a team player. She looked like she was both trying and succeeding with her duet part with Anthony, but scary and robotic again when she did her solo.
Gordon: How much you want to be that they will put them in 2 groups and we will sit and think about which group is which?
Joe: God I hope not.
Gordon: And we have the Ford Commercial of a Ford going through a roller coaster - and them all getting new hairdos because of it.
Gordon: I give it a 6...We're back, and just to have fun, we're going to replay the original Idol's auditions. We see Vonzell singing 'Chain of Fools', getting down and being called Baby V by Randy, who says that she's grown a lot. Next up is Anthony, who sings Jon Secada's 'Angel' Paula calls him brilliant and slips him her phone number...oh wait a sec.
Jason: lol.
Rachel: I dunno, I think it was inspired by the recent comedy central bit for new South Park Episodes... except the hair is the "twist."
Rachel: Anthony wasn't very good on a pro level, but he was strong and had a good performance.
Gordon: Ryan says that we'll be seeing Bo and Carrie's audition tape... and then we get a special 'surprise'.
Jason: Uh oh...
Joe: Yeah, really.
Gordon: Would the surprise be we see Bo's clip and then Ryan tells him he's out?
Joe: That would be nice. :D
Jason: Will he have long hair at 8? :)
Gordon: He probably had long hair at 2.
Joe: I'm thinking we're gonna get a visit from one of the previous American Idols: either Kelly, Ruben or Fantasia.
Jason: We are back.
Gordon: Next up is Carrie...from the farm, singing 'I Can't Make You Love Me'. She got the lyrics right =)
Jason: This time :)
Gordon: Simon predicted that she can win the competition, and being that she's in the Top 4, he keeps his prediction. Finally...the never before seen audition from Bo, who seems less than happy from seeing the video.
Jason: Everyone is not happy seeing themselves on TV.
Gordon: His grandmother looked good, as Simon called him...Harold!
Jason: Simone winked at Bo.
Joe: Simone?
Jason: Simon.
Joe: When did Cowell start taking estrogen, Jason? :-D
Jason: EVIDENCE OF AN AFFAIR :)
Joe: *ducks*
Gordon: Here's the surprise - Ryan has a Marquis Jet Card. Three of them will be getting cards for a nice trip back to the families for the day.
Joe: Ooh.
Gordon: One person gets a one way coach ticket home, as Ryan holds the ticket.
Jason: (cough) Apprentice (cough).
Gordon: The surprise is that Marquis found a way to be able to get a plug into American Idol.
Joe: Not.
Rachel: I just would like to think that Anthony and Vonzell stay... so Carrie's gotta go.
Joe: Nope. Anthony's going for The Ride. (Be nice if it was Bo, but...)
Rachel: It is going to be close, I think. I liked the car commercial they did with the dog.
Gordon: We're back.
Joe: :-D
Gordon: We start with Bo.....he gets a Marquis card.
Joe: BOOOOOOOO
Gordon: Carrie is next...she gets...a Marquis Card.
Joe: HA!
Gordon: The bottom is Anthony and Vonzell.
Anthony: Yes.
Gordon: Vonzell is....safe.
Joe: HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Gordon: Anthony is gone.
Jason: Damn!
Gordon: And for ONCE Anthony's guess doesn't screw me over.
Joe: VENGEANCE! IS! MIIIIIIIINE!
Gordon: We get Anthony's video of doom.
Joe: *Dances around Rachel and Jason*
Gordon: Anthony gets his good-bye song.
Jason: Fedorov got screwed.
Joe: Not. He should've gone home last week.
Gordon: Let's get some points on the board...
Joe: WHEE! POINTS FOR ME! (for once :-D)
Gordon: As Jason Block gets the Royal Goose Egg this week...
Jason: This is bull.
Rachel: Jason, chill, he's young. He has time.
Joe: (You must understand: I LIKE Anthony. I like him better than Bo. But he just didn't have it.)
Gordon: lol
Rachel: Even Carrie felt that it was was gurl power that brought her over. She knew Anthony was better than her last week.
Jason: Rankings Now...

Gordon - 32.5
Chico - 27.5
Jason - 27
Joe - 25
Anthony - 26.5
Rachel - 17.5
Michelle - 16

Jason: Feh...:)
Gordon: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Joe: ROFL
Gordon: For all of the wackos, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Match Game and Out!
Rachel: Good night!
