Sorry,

Nicole and Amy

The guy who sang free ride and the asian who wore no shoes.

I was doing some stuff and hadn't checked this in awhile.

Sundance stayed....and I didn't think he was that great.

THANK YOU!!! You can disregard my PM now. I'm just feeling a little silly, please excuse me.

No problem, I feel bad, I keeping forgetting about time zones so I probably ruined it for a lot of people. I am sorry :)

There's no way I could pull off "knowing" without being caught. The people who didn't make it were too much of a surprise. I think Nicole was the only one that anyone really guessed. My kids never would have bought it. Let's try again next week!

BTW - how did Rudy get voted off? He was one of my top 4 favorites for the guys. And there was one very forgettable guy up there - we all looked at each other and said, "who's that?" None of us remembered even seeing him on Tuesday. I think his name is Rick? And I'm sad that Amy is gone - I thought she was WAY better than Antonella and Alaina. Oh, well, I guess I should just start voting.

I had liked Antoella all the way up until she sang the Aerosmith song, I am a big Aerosmith fan. Rudy was the last one to be voted off. I have to say I loved his Free Ride performance. It made me want to get up and dance. There was one girl who sang and I didn't think it was good at all, but Paula had actually stood up and was dancing with her song. I can't remember who it was. When I watched the girls that night I was dead to world, I had just come home after working a double shift.

I am not nearly as impressed this season so far as I was last. The guys last year would have blown these guys away imo. Anyone else notice they are using Chris Daughtrys song to send them home with? last year it was had a bad day.. this year is Daughtrys Home. A bit ironic since he didnt even win last year!!!

I was really irritated that Antonella didn't get voted off after what she and her best-friend said about being able to get any guy they wanted. That really rubbed me the wrong way and I thought for sure she'd get voted off quickly because of the attitude. I didn't really remember Nicole's performance, so it mustn't have blown me away. I think Antonella definitely should have gotten booted before Amy. Poor thing.

I'm very glad that Sundance stayed on. He was one of my favorites from auditions. I'm scared though that if he has another round like the past two he'll be headed home. He was flawless in the auditions. Too bad the rest of the show he hasn't done too much. I was also glad that Sinjaya stayed on, he's such a sweet kid. I liked that he cried when his sister didn't make it. I thought that was sweet and i really hope he does better this week. He has such an amazing voice, but he certainly didn't shine this past week. I guess so long as Blake, Phil, and Chris Sligh are still on I don't really care who gets voted off for the boys. As for the girls, I'm really hoping that LaKisha can make it all the way, that poor girl deserves to know that she's great. And I like that she's doing this all for her little girl, Brionne. I think that's sweet. She's amazing and she'll keep getting my votes. :)

Tinkerbellswt... Is it actually Chris singing in the vote off song??? I didn't even notice!

Guy- I like Blake Chris, S. and Phil, although Sanjaya is a cutie and I believe he'll get votes for that, I don't think he is quit good enough as far as the "whole package" goes.

Girls are hard for me, they all seem alike. That's the problem I had with Cathrine last year, she didn't seem any different to me than any other pretty girl with a good voice. Even in her interviews now she seems boring. I think Jordin is going to be my favorite, she can sing and she seems interesting, and sweet.

LOL It sure is Chris singing it. It is the second song on his album called Home. I had my mom replay it today b/c she couldnt believe the irony there too! and my dad picked his voice right out, knew it was him right away!

Wow.. an Idol thread... I love that show!!

I really like LaKisha too. I don't have a favorite for the guys yet.

I find I'm not looking forward to Idol nites like last year. Probably because there is no rocker. I hope the guys step it up tonight, I'm not going to sit through another boring nite.

I was much more amused during the girls performance last week....besides the two or three guys, the rest sang very slow songs. The majority in my office turned it off last week because they got bored.

Well, the guys were far better tonight! Blake rocked! I also liked Chris S. The other Chris had a good performance, but I don't like him. He reminds me of KFed. I don't know if they look alike or it's the punk factor. I'm sorry to say but I think Sanjaya is going home (unless he gets the cutie vote). And I also think either Brandon or Nicholas is going home. What do you all think?

I liked Blake too. I am just not digging Sanjaya. He sings too soft. I am into the more upbeat singers. I missed Phil. Sundance made a come-back as well. I haven't been too impressed with him up to this point but he did better last night.

Phil did good, I believed he sang Tom Waite's (sp?) I Ain't Missing You. I think that's right.

I thought the guys did great last night! I'm thinking Sanjaya might be leaving, Brandon might leave too just because he picked a slow and somewhat boring song. Looking forward to the girls tonight. Missed them last week. :(

Vote for the Worst site is pushing votes for Sundance and Antonella. Unfortunately I do think those anti-AI people do make a difference at least in these earlier shows. I don't understand their whole concept anyhow. If you don't like the show, why mess it up for others? :angry: Here's the link if you are interested: Open Original Shared Link

I tend to agree! I watched a little bit last night, but had to go to bed at 9, lol, so didn't see them all, but from what I saw, they were just so-so.

I think we might see Antonella go home. She sounded horrid. She took on way to big of a song, thought she was better than she is.

But I enjoyed the girls.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.
