First things first: Kristi! Hotness.

By the way, I love how in this picture Archie looks like he's gonna really enjoy getting is ass kicked by the absolutely willing Cook. The hair gel is flying, meow.

Okay, so last night. Look, you can either look at it as the battle between innocence and experience. Randy said Archie was what Idol was all about, but what does that mean? Just being able to stand there and sing well, maybe have one good interpretation of a song, and jam that down our throats at the end of the season? Or is it trying to make the most out of the bad songs that are written for you to sing?

The odds were on Cook, but Simon with all his, like, "David Archuleta is the Master of the Universe because his dad will have my throat cut of I don't say that" schtick may just have tipped the final 25% of that voting scale. But whatever. If Archie wins, it just means that Cook's album is gonna sell better. Actually, Castro's probably going to outsell both of them with his Ukelele of Death.

Look, I know it's for the ratings, but come on people. I had to post a picture of Jason almost touching his junk just to get that image of Kristi and Bruno on the front page of Yahoo out of my head. But it's also kind of trainwrecky in that you really can't look away, can you? God help us all. Not that Kristi really needed to go that route, since she's probably going to win tonight. At least, that would seem like the right thing to do, America. Seriously.

And yes, it's the Epic Battle Of Davids tonight on American Idol and both Bodog and betUS have my pretend boyfriend as the favorite to win. Just do me a favor, and don't do anything stupid, okay Cook? 'Cause I'll cut somebody if I have to. IF I HAVE TO.

It seems like yesterday that we watched Helio and Julianne make out, and now we have a whole new cast of Dancing With The Stars. betUS already has their take on who might win on the new season that starts on the 17th. Of course, a couple of the athletes are the favorites, and most of the older folks are way down on the list:

Skater Kristi Yamaguchi is at +150 and Miami Dolphins player Jason Taylor is at +175. Football players do well on this show, but Jason's a defensive end, which is not the most graceful of positions on a team. Kristi is a graceful skater, so she already has the most experience out of everyone else in the competition.

Actress Marlee Matlin is at +1500, and one of our favorite 80's icons Steve Guttenberg is at +3000. Okay, look, Marlee Matlin is a fantastic actress, and I know she's got rhythm. She'll be lead around the floor for most of her dances. And Steve was a buff dude in the 80's, and now, maybe not so much. Unless he's able to pull out some serious charm, he's going home in the early weeks.
