This morning I bet Captain Mike a nickel that Crystal Bowersox would win AMERICAN IDOL.  He's going with Lee DeWyze.  Ugh...I don't know.  Can someone that TOTALLY devoid of stage presence really win this thing?  Okay, so he started out "shy".  Whatever.  LIVEN IT UP, DUDE!

So, I'm assuming that they'll be the final 2.  I think my dreamy Casey is going home this week.  He's real swell, but he seems to end up in the bottom 3 a lot.

Would anyone care to bet on DANCING WITH THE STARS?  While the Pussycat Doll seems to be the obvious winner, I think the Olympic Gold Medalist is going to win. Kristy Yamaguchi and Apollo Anton Ohno have won in past seasons. And given that the voters sent Pamela Anderson home waaaaaaaay too early to be fair, I think the voters don't cotton to those ultra sexy gals.  Evan Lysacek it is.
