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!

Sanjaya and Blake were the best two out there tonight....Haley needs to put some clothes on!!!!!!

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.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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!

Ditto here!

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:

Guhlia Rising Star

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. )

Wow, didn't know she did that...might have changed my mind about her, lol. I tend to not like tantrums. :P

I do think you're right! :P

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.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

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.

Well....I think I am speechless. I would have rathered Chris or Phil go, at least Haley was entertaining.

Guhlia Rising Star

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. :)

      Welcome to the forum, @terrymouse! Your GI doc is correct. Going gluten free now will allow healing to occur in the villous lining of the small bowel such that the endoscopy/biopsy may not show the damage to the villous architecture that is characteristic of celiac disease. Since your celiac blood antibody tests results are on the low side and don't "scream" of celiac disease I think it is important to go forward with the endoscopy/biopsy while still consuming gluten to ensure it will not be a wasted effort. The last thing you want is to have two different test modalities that unnecessarily contradict one another. So, unless the continued consumption of gluten poses an immediate and significant threat to your health, my advice is to (excuse the pun) "gut it out" until the endoscopy/biopsy happens. There is also the option of temporarily going gluten free and then undertaking a "gluten challenge" in the weeks leading up to the appointment in September. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the day of the procedure. But I would certainly give it longer than two weeks to be sure. And in view of the fact that it could happen sooner if there is a cancellation, I would encourage you to not go gluten free until after the procedure if your health permits. By the way, what are your symptoms? What led you to investigate celiac disease as the cause of your medical issues?
    • RMJ
      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.
    • terrymouse
      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.  
    • ehb
      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily
