Hi, jonny. Thanks for the ping.
Evening, Bahbah :)
Scott has to sing for his life.
"How can I convince you that what you see is real?"
The judges aren't really discussing Scott's fate. Kara and Paula are both doing the frat girl dance. Randy's talking to someone in the audience.
Scott doesn't help his case very much, hitting the same blood-curdling flat notes as before.
Seacrest: [to Simon] Last week you didn't even consider using the save. Why?
Simon: Because I didn't care. She [Megan] didn't care, so why should we?
Seacrest asks the judges what they think about Scott.
Simon: To be honest, there are two of us that want him to stay and two of us that want him to go. The judges huddle--it's clear that Kara and Paula that want him to stay ...
Simon: [to Scott] This is really tough. I really, really like you. But [there are more talented singers in the competition] Somebody's got to make a decision and I have to say this the end of the competition for you.
After Scott's "Home Sweet Home" montage, Seacrest goes to Paula for the last word.
Paula: On behalf of the other judges you have been an inspiration to the entire world. You realized a dream that seemed near impossible. You are one classy gentleman. God bless you. We love you.
And that's all folks.
See you at the finale, Scott.
