Spoiler!

By the way Blake acted I think not only did he expect to go home, but thought that Melinda shouldn't have went. But I am excited! Last year I didn't watch after Chris got kicked off, I didn't care. Now I have a reason to watch next week. :lol:

Jordins last song gave me goosebumps, i love how she does that song.

Simon always has comments about the songs and the ages of the songs and contestants. He is just jealous that he is not young anymore lol

paula

This is my thought on Jordin........this young lady is the whole AI package! I think she is just an awesome wonderful young talent! I am also so happy over last night finale 2 show!

I like simon very much, but when he makes remarks like, you are 17!!!!! and you should not be singing a song like that! gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The girl shows so much emotion when she sings, well I do not want to ramble here, lol I guess you know who I want to be THE idol for this season :D

Now that everyone has seen the show or heard the results I am going to say it.

I jumped up and down when they said Melinda was going home!!! I am just so happy. I could not bare to even watch her sing. She did have talent and I will not deny her that but she didn't have the AI package as another member put it. She did not carry herself well and she certainly did not have the look. She made that surprised look again last night when they gave her the mic to sing her last song. The omg I get to perform again... :huh:

Jordin is simply amazing. So what if she is 17, she appears to act much more mature than she is. I think she is very pretty and she just has some awesome talent.

Blake is also very talented. I liked him all along but I hope Jordin wins.

I was so tired when it was on, i was only listening, then at one point i completely fall asleep then i heard them say it was time to eliminate and i tried to open my eyes. I woke up more when they said jordin was safe, i was like great, now blake will go home. Then when they said melinda its time for you to go, i jumped out of bed and screamed, my more hubby came running up thinking something was wrong with me lol. Then i was so happy i could not go back to bed.

I dont care who wins, because i love them both, but i still want blake to win lol.

hi will i guess ill be the odd one out here and say how discusted i was that melinda was voted out. same with la kisha. im not 16 and frankly think there is enough teeny boppers out there with a microphone in their hands. jordan is talented but she is only 17 and frankly not good looking at all. blake is nice looking and a good singer but the minute he starts that beat boxing crap i want to flick the channel. i take solace in the fact other than kelly the winner of this show never really goes anywhere and that the people who come 3rd and 4th do.

just my 2 cents

I agree. :lol: This is what I thought would happen right in the beginning. I like Melinda and she'll do good with a recording career but I wanted the actual winner to be one of the younger kids. I remember how important music was when I was a teenager and I think eigher Blake or Jordin will be great as Idols. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I thought it was rude the other night when he was making his predictions of who HE thought should be in the final 2. Hahaha...in your face Simon.

I just love all the different opinions on here! I personally like Melinda, but at the same time think that Jordin and Blake are the two right people in the finale. Melinda is very talented, but isn't the right package to be the the winner. She's going to get a recording contract and reach a different audience than the "average" idol viewer. My 13 year old surprised me when she told me that she wants to buy Melinda's C D when it comes out.

We're all rooting for Jordin here - she's pretty, talented, energetic and seems genuinely sweet and enthusiastic.

I'm from the same town as Blake and one of my HS friends went to see him last week and got a pretty close shot of him that she emailed to me. She was pretty excited to get to go see him.

I finally got around to watching the 2 shows from last week yesterday. The look on Simon's face was priceless when Melinda was sent home! It was fun to see Elliot come back and sing!!

I enjoyed Tuesday's show. I'm still rooting for Jordin to win! I did like Blake, but as the weeks have gone on, I really like him less and less for some reason.

      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...

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? 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.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!
