Thank you American Idol for not confirming rumours that Perval Jackson would be a celebrity on the show this season. That would have caused the loss of this viewer.
OK, how did THE COUCH do last night…
we predicted the bottom three for the Men would be:
RUDY CARDENAS, PAUL KIM AND SUNDANCE HEAD
For the Ladies, we predicted the bottom three would be:
ANTONELLA BARBA, ALAINA ALEXANDER AND LESLIE HUNT
we predicted the bottom three for the Men would be:
RUDY CARDENAS, PAUL KIM AND SUNDANCE HEAD
For the Ladies, we predicted the bottom three would be:
ANTONELLA BARBA, ALAINA ALEXANDER AND LESLIE HUNT
Last night, America sent home:
“Shoeless” Paul Kim – America got it correct...his farewell song proved why…weak weak weak. We also saw a clip on TV where he was downing William Hung as “ruining the whole thing for Asians” Dude…give it up!
Rudy Cardenas – America got it correct again…
Amy Krebs – THE COUCH missed on this one. We felt she had "no stage presence" and was "very boring", but thought she might get through. Then she asks if she can sing a different song for her departure tune. Has this girl even watched the show?
Nicole Tranquillo – Wow…We felt she had a good voice, though thought she sang "over the top"...America, you might have missed here.
America left two of the worst up there…
Sundance…you are the luckiest SOB in the world…And Antonella the luckiest DOB
Not a great start…0-2 on the Ladies…2-2 on the guys… a .500 record

Was not sure we were going to mention this next item, then thought we would mention it without a lot of fanfare…then...well this is THE COUCH...so we figured...
OH WHAT THE HELL!
Welcome to the
250th EDITION OF THE COUCH!!!!!
Over these 250 posts we have revealed our lack of employment; our new job; the difficult sale of our house in NJ; and chronicled our move to Memphis.
We have redecorated twice since our first template.
We have told of our love for Matt; the Yankees; music; Jerry Garcia; Wade Winter; music; Duane Allman; Mickey Mantle; music; sports; and our family and friends.
We posted to honor mom and dad (Joan & Vince), and let you learn of these two incredible people.
THE COUCH has challenged you with Musical Memes; revealed our stories through the Monday Matinee; Ranted; took trips in the Way Back Machine and shared our concert memories on Vinylally Friday’s.
Throughout these posts you have learned hundreds of little facts about us, at times maybe too many, but THE COUCH has never done anything half-way.
Many have been in our sights, celebrities who act stupidly; government officials who just don’t care; environmental terrorists; thieves; celebrity parents who saddle their kids with weird names; and people who cheat.
We've brought others to your attention, great men, women and children who have impacted our lives in a variety of ways.
Because of these 250 sessions we have met some of the most incredible people in the blogosphere…husband’s and wife’s who blog; soldiers protecting our freedom around the world; people from around the globe who blog; people close to home who blog; men and women who have become friends, though we have never met.
We have joined Blog Carnivals and Peace Globe initiatives.
Along the way, we have been honored by being named BESTEST BLOG OF THE DAY.
You know what? We would never ever have done it any differently…there have been times we felt we have gone off track, but have always found our way beck to center...
Strangely, in the last week a few people have pointed out that THE COUCH was getting back to it's "IN YOUR FACE" attitude...This made us happy, since we were making a conscious decision to find that attitude once again...
Over the next 250 blogs, we will continue to share and ask you to continue sharing when you come to sit here on THE COUCH.
Thanks for sitting…always room for one more.
Enjoy your weekend.
