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. :)

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.
    • Rogol72
      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Thank you, Scott!  This is just what I needed.  Appreciate your site very much and all of your time and energy that goes into it! Kind Regards, Peg

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
