Scott's No Survivor On Idol

It's never a good idea to sing a song about anything being over. But with just 6 weeks to go in the competition, the journey for American Idol's first ever blind finalist Scott MacIntyre came to an end on last night's show.


Host Ryan Seacrest announced that both he and fellow Idol contender Anoop Desai were in the bottom two, separated by only 30,000 votes.

After performing Survivor's "The Search Is Over" for a second time for the judges (much better than the night before, I might add!), it was Simon Cowell who after the group's supposed serious deliberation broke the bad news to Scott.

Question for you Idol fans out there: does anyone really believe that every week there's at least ONE person for whom they're seriously considering using the judges' veto? Or does anyone theorize like me that it's just a gimmick and that on the the absolutely last week they can use the veto, the judges will show their great empathy and "save" whoEVER is going home that week? That's my take. Unless of course, Adam ends up bottom of the list next week, in which case, we might see them whip out a save earlier than planned.

Oh and for all of you YOUNG Idol fans out there, you can hear Scott's song choice on Vital Signs by Survivor. I know because I have the vinyl. Yep, vinyl. (Oops. My age is showing.)
