Although I am glad Sanjaya is gone, I have to ask, what will we talk about? :P And what is with Blake being in the bottom three and Chris in the safe group? That is wrong!

You know I didn't even watch last night. I was busy making my sisters Baby basket and wrapping the presents. John watched and he told me Sanjaya was crying...and I just reassured him that I question his sexuality. He is very feminine. I hope I am allowed to say that. So if I offended anyone, I am very sorry.

You are right, what we will have to talk about?

Did you guys see Simon and the whole Chris R thing last night, where they showed the recap and Simon verified himself. I did see that part. John is convinced that Simon was rolling his eyes at Chris.

Where is the "jumping with joy" smilie? WOO HOO!!!

I was very surprised to see Blake in the bottom 3 too! I didn't think he sang nearly as bad as Chris. And, the Simon thing, you can see in the replay tape from last night that he was talking to Paula and was asking her why he would sing/say something about nasal singing. I thought it was very apparant that he wasn't listening to what was going on stage.

Amanda ~ I really think the same thing about Sanjaya. He seems very feminine to me too.

I was kinda sad to see sanjaya go home, if he had gone home weeks ago i wouldnt have been sad, but he was growing on me lol. I cant beleive lakeisha and blake were int eh bottom 3, that just was wrong on so many accounts. I guess I will have to start voting to keep the ones i like safe lol.

I wish we could vote for the ones that we want out, that would be so much easier lol

I hope next week will be much more fun. This week has just been very busy for me, and my mind has been elsewhere, so I haven't focused on any of my TV shows I love. I didn't watch dancing with the stars either.

I have it rough at home, John liked Sanjaya....so we had some Idol battles. Silly.

Ha, I didn't watch last night either...well I did up until after they showed the tape of Simon talking to Paula from the night before, but from the sounds of it, YAY, lol. Sanjaya is gone. :P

In all previous years except for last the winner has appeared in the bottom 3 once. It's usually around when 5-6 people are left. I'm hoping this isn't just a fluke because I would LOVE for Blake to win. I definitely think he's awesome. Has Melinda been in the bottom 3 yet? I don't think she has been.

I was really glad that Sanjaya finally got cut. I was starting to get really worried that he would somehow win. That would have been such a joke because there are three other contestants that actually deserve that recording contract.

Did anyone else notice how Chris and Melinda were hanging all over each other for the entire show?

I have to admit I was glad to hear Simon tell Melinda to stop the surprised act.

I was worried Sanjaya was going to make it too. John was predicting it...I was praying it would not happen. I still cannot believe he was crying.

I think that was the my high point of the show, when he told her that. But I think she is going from the little miss innocent to the biggest attitude on the show lol

I think Blake or Jordan should win, Blake because he is unique, knows his stuff, can perform, and is likable. Jordan because she has the whole package, she is pretty, can sing, perform, and is a little sassy without being obnoxious. Although Melinda and Lakisha can sing they are missing something. Lakisha either projects no personality or a negative vibe. Melinda could have some appeal, but it would be limited to maybe adult contemporary music. She and Lakisha also have an older feel about them.

Just my opinion, chances are one of them will win.

Is it just me or does it look like lakeisha and melinda are losing some weight. they dont look at big as they did when this started, or is just that they are wearing more flattering clothes that make them look smaller.

Something does look different on them, and it is hard to put your finger on it.

I think Blake or Jordin as well, but present themselves well and have talent.

Lakisha stands very stiff and sometimes looks very annoyed. As for Melinda one of my coworkers summed it up, they just cannot stand to look at her, in my honest opinion I cannot see her as the next Idol because she does not have the look. Can you imagine the celiac disease cover? I look at those things. Maybe I am just shallow.

I was trying to figure out what you meant by "celiac disease cover"...took me a minute to translate it to C D...darned forum filter! LOL!

Of all the singers I see Melinda and Jordin being the most likely to win. I can see Melinda being on a C D cover. There are a few successful artists out ther who don't have the typical "look." It all depends on the photography and graphic design to bring the cover together. Jordin does have the "full package" though...and she is so young, she's really got potential for capturing the younger audience and has opportunity to really grow/mature.

I was glad to see Sanjaya go too. I hope Chris and Phil go the next two weeks.

Something I wanted to point out about Sanjaya. He's only a 17 year old kid who hasn't finished going through puberty yet. (Sure, Jordin is the same age, but girls mature faster than boys and she was already working as a plus-size model and had been on tour with a contemporary Christian singer before Idol.)

Anyway, he came across as very shy and humble in his audition. I think he's genuinely shy and really doesn't have the skills to deal with all the glitter of Hollywood. How would we have all reacted at age 17? I don't think he's overly feminine. He's just a kid doing what the stylists and vocal coaches are telling him to do. One thing is for sure - he wasn't ready for something like American Idol.

It makes you wonder if his sister isn't better than he is, although she may not have made it as far, without the support of vote for the worst and 13 year old girls.

I liked his sister, can't remember her name. She is very pretty too. I think it would be neat to see them team up together and sing because I bet they sound very nice together. I forget did they sing together in the audition at first and then they made them do it seperate too.

I can't remember if they sang together first or not. Her name is Shyamali. She's getting as many searches as Sanjaya these days.

The thing I remember about the auditions is that Shyamali went first and made it. Then Sanjaya went in. They asked him who was the better singer and he said, "my sister is". After he sang, the judges (I think Simon first) told him that he was actually better. When he came out, Ryan asked if the judges had compared their voices or told him who was better and he said, "I don't want to say" or something like that. It was obvious that he didn't want to hurt his sister's feelings.

They look so cute together. She was older if I remember correctly. They seem to get along very well together.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
