Oh my gosh... What did they feed Sanjaya over this past week?!?!?! That was actually REALLY good!!! First of all, I love that song... Second of all, he sang it with proper intonation and accent... Third, I almost forgot he was, well, Sanjaya! Too bad he'll probably go back to sucking royally next week.

Blake melted my heart tonight. Wow! He is just amazing!

I actually like LaKisha too, but yeah, blake and sanjaya were good. Blake was phenomenal, as usual. He makes me want to run of to Hollywood and be fanatical about the show.

Blake is cute too. They only ever show his friends in the audience, I wonder where his family is?

I was wondering the same thing. I liked Blake. I also liked Jordin last night too.

I agree that Sanjaya wasn't as horrible as he usually is. :lol:

Yeah, what was up with that?!?! :)

Jordin was really good last night. I've been liking her more and more this season. I think she has great potential, especially considering she's just a little girl. I don't think she's even 18 yet. That's pretty impressive since she has that big old voice.

Anyone else think it'll be Haley's time to go this week?

Yeah, anyway, where is Blake's family? That is kind of odd. Everyone else's family is there supporting them.

Vote-off...hmm tough call. Haley might still be getting votes from hormone raging males due to her revealing clothing...even Simon commented that that was her best quality.

Phil was ok, Chris R is not my favorite....I am stumped.

Anyone else?

What? Blake's family has been there a lot. Especially early on. His dad looks just like him - just heavier and without earrings. They were just on local TV last night (I grew up in Blake's home town) thanking people for all their support. It's a special "Blake Lewis Day" in Bothell today.

Wow! It's Blake Lewis Day? That's so cool!

I've never noticed his family, but maybe it's because I'm so stuck on staring it him. He is such a cutie!

I wish, lol. I don't even remember what song she sang...all I cam remember is that outfit. The first thing I thought when she walked out was "she's doing that on purpose now", lol. :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot about Chris still being there. He bores me to tears. I think I'd rather see him go than Haley. At least Haley is cute and has some energy and personality. Chris just makes me want to stick my head in the sand.

I actually think Haley's smart for how she's playing things now. Yes, she looks kind of slutty and is definitely exploiting her body... BUT... If you've got it, flaunt it, right? At least she's not 400 lbs. and nasty looking and trying to wear clothes like that. I think she's smart because I think that's the only thing keeping her in the competition at this point. Maybe I'm wrong. She's a little spastic, don't you guys think?

You have a point...she could be very large and be trying to squeeze into those outfits....which many people do and they obviously do not look in a mirror before they leave the house.

She is very spunky!

I hope next week is a little more fun.

Lakisha will go home tonight. I know that sounds crazy, and I'm not against Lakisha. I like her way more than Melinda. I think Lakisha is a funny, witty person as well as a great singer. But I believe Gina's votes will go to the Judges favorite singer, "MELINDA" (could they make it any more obvious?) Because Gina threw a baby, foot-stomping tantrum on tv about how Sanjaya sucks and she should have been allowed to stay longer due to this being her dream as an adult and he's a stupid talentless kid.... So, anyone in love with Gina is going to be throwing their votes to the one the judges view as having the most talent. That's my guess. And that's my reason for my guess. I could be wrong, but that's how it plays out in my mind. Halely won't get Gina's votes, I don't believe any of the men will get Gina's votes, and Gina threw a serious tantrum telling her voters that the Sanjaya stuff ruined the competition for those who were truely trying and cared. So, Melinda will get her votes and Lakisha (who I like much better, will go. )

I know. She was teared up and everything. She alternated between petulant sounding and very mad. It was disgraceful. The following day or two, I saw her on the Today show and she was all upbeat and smiling like it was nothing.

I didn't know about Gina either...wow....I would be POed too if I got sent home and Sanjaya who up until last night was the joke was still there.

I am not sure about Lakisha. Phil's fan base is not too big either, every week he is on the bottom so I am leaning toward him as well.. But you never know.

I agree Haley's getting votes from hormonal teenage boys. I don't see any talent that would make her an idol. Lakisha and Melinda are equally talented but I guess you would vote for the personality when it comes to a draw. I thought Lakisha looked more friendly last night. She usually looks like she's PMS'in

One of my favorite C.D.s is the Santana one with Rob Thomas singing the song that Chris sang last night and thought he butched it. But how can you come close to Rob? :P

My favorite was Blake last night. He was the best best best. Love his voice. I hope he wins. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think Phil's going tonight. He looks like he's ready for it to.

Did Paula seem out of it last night? She was on something. I know she has the trouble with neck and back pain. Must of been acting up.

I think she has inflamatory arthritis. Could be brain fog from autoimmune dysfunction.

I just watched it with my kids - we DVR it and watch it the next day - they love it. And they LOVE Jordin. She's their favorite and mine too. I think it will come down to her and Blake. I like them both, but I think her sound is more universal....

I think Lakisha and Melinda have great voices, but I don't think they're very original. THey are kind of old fashioned and I can't figure out what type of album they'd put out. Probably not one I'd listen to or buy. So that makes me lean towards Jordin - I think she'll put out the type of music I'd be more likely to buy...

Thats what I've been saying too, you want someone who's young, spirited and original. I think both the black girls could go on to do broadway or other events like that.

I was actually glad to see her go. She was starting to annoy me with her spastic dancing and her skimpy clothes. Though, honestly, I would have rather seen Chris go. Oh well, at least it wasn't Blake or Melinda. :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
