AS YOU WATCHED YOURSELF GAVOTTE: There really isn't much to say about an Idol in which there was only one good performance, but our friend Dan Fienberg tried. I don't know whether cargo shorts are a greater offense to the Idol gods than butchering a Heart song (or Simon's not even knowing "Magic Man"), but this gives me an opportunity to stress a fundamental Idol point.

There are two groups of contestants in the Final 24 -- Those Who Can't Win The Whole Thing, and Those Who Can. As long as they get rid of the first group before starting to pick at the second, it's not worth stressing over the order of elimination. In other words, I don't care if Robbie Carrico goes before Jason Yeager, as long as they both are gone before Michael Johns is at risk. Similarly, with the ladies, as long as women like Asia'h Epperson and Brooke White are in it for a while, Kady Malloy and Ramielle Malubay can fight it out for 11th place. Agreed?
