Katharine McPhee barely escapes elimination this week. Lisa Tucker didn't. I was not upset Lisa Tucker went home -- she had been skating on thin ice for three weeks straight. The only surprise for me was Katharine Mcphee being in the bottom two. Given she wasn't great, but she was better than most. I guess I'll actually have to call and vote next week.
On to LOST. Tonights Episode was much better than last week. Locke's background story is probably one of the more interesting ones and I've enjoyed each episode that has shown us bits and pieces of his life. Also, !Henry Gale is an interesting character -- if he sticks around long enough. Hhe will be fun to watch, especially if he's allowed to play his mind games on the other survivors. However, tonights episode was really about Locke. He has 'daddy' issues and girl issues. Unfortunately for him, the 'daddy' issues are a big problem for him (and the cause of his girl issues). I was SURE we'd find out why he was paralyzed this week (mobster anyone?), but alas, it was not to be. They've teased us each episode where his character is the main beneficiary of the flashbacks, only for them to leave us wondering still why he wound up in that wheel chair.
Questions I have (and I know you probably do too) are: 1) Did he keep the money, or did the maid get the tip of a lifetime, 2) What the heck was all that writing on the door, 3) was lockdown simply to deliver the food from the parachute? 3) Did !Gale actually stop the timer or did it just reset itself? 4)How the heck did Locke get paralyzed?
Next week looks pretty good as well, and I can only hope last weeks Jin/Sun centric episode was a fluke.
Oh, and Vote for Katharine next week. I know you want to.
