This to be an incomplete blog, on purpose. It is full of spoilers about Canadian Idol so if you don't know who was voted off, stop reading.

SPOILERS Abound

Tonight, it was revealed that the bottom 3 were Carly Rae, Brian and Greg. Even given the fact I don't like Carly Rae I can say that the best three performances of the previous night were those three.

In the end, Greg (my favourite and the best potential Idol winner this season) was voted off. Unless CTV announces (even if they have to lie) that the results were flipped by accident and say someone else is gone, I don't know if I can continue to watch this show.

Yes, me .. the CI fan on this site is ready to stop watching. I've have favourites lose before (e.g. Rex Goudie) and I've had people I did not like win (Melissa O'Neil and Kalen Porter). I've never before wanted to stop watching though.

With the combination of the best three tagged as "worst" and Greg being tossed, plus crappy performances by Matt and Jaydee, I just don't know.

I enjoy Jaydee's performances, but he's not Idol material. Matt needs to come back in a few years and he'll be awesome. Greg learned a lot between last year and this year and is ready for prime time.

I'll have to think about this and sleep on it. If I decide to stop watching I'll drop my editorship. If there's even a glimmer that I might still watch I'll hold on to the guide (once retired, always retired).

My only hope is that Greg signs a record deal ASAP and starts writing stuff, and once the Idol embargo is lifted he immediately releases an album. I'm sure it would sell better than any Idol record from the remaining Top 6.

Signing out before I explode .... 2C

I feel your pain. Although Greg isn't my idol (Carly Rae is) I thought he'd make into the top 2 and if he ended up winning I'd still be happy 'cause he rocks. Its unlikely it was a mistake but it is sad to see a good artist and performer gone. Canada seems rather stupid in their decision. Jaydee and Matt had the weakest performances the last couple of weeks one of them should have left not Greg. The only thing I can tell you is that you should have voted because you mentioned once that you never vote.

*hears explosion to the north* hmmm, wonder what that was?

I almost dropped the FG editorship during the forum troll fiasco, but everything worked out in the end...so far. I would probably be kicking myself right now if I did so. Sleeping on it would be a good idea.

You're telling me; they just kicked out Verne Troyer on Surreal Life, but it should've been Vanilla Ice!

Maybe Greg will come back to vote Carly Rae off?

I'm not a Canadian Idol follower but I know what it's like to lose a favorite on a show like that. Of course since I don't vote, I only have myself to blame, but I never do... I blame all the other stupid voters of course! (It makes me feel better that way)

Hi JJ - I'm thinking that it's not a mistake either, which makes me further think I should stop watching since my Top 3 were the bottom 3 last night. True enough, I don't vote, but I don't see my votes helping Greg this week.

Hi Fish - I'm definitely not knee-jerking into dropping the guide just yet. The previous editor did that (when all I wanted was for him to work *with* me) and he really should not of.

Hi Jimmy - If only it worked that way

Hi Ang - It's not *my* fault he's gone, it's the fault of the stupid folks that did vote. I like that

Hi Sassy - Thanks for the hug

Hi Lass - Unfortunately, it's too late Thanks though. Gb you too.
