There was a shocking elimination on American Idol last night. Shocking not only because Michael Johns, the last remaining hot straight man on AI, was sent home, but more so because of the manner with which it happened. This week was the infamous Idol Gives Back episode, where celebrities and politicians take time out of their earning schedule and ask Americans to spare some change for the poor. Last year, thanks to the giving nature of the episode, producers decided to spare our questionably talented pop idols from elimination until the following, less generous, week.
So what happened this year? Let’s just say, American Idol was feeling less than generous. Seacrest gets all high and mightly about not eliminating anyone last year, and then sends Johns packing. One could also easily entitle the following clip “Ryan Seacrest’s Lowest Point, After Pleasuring Merv Griffin, Obvs.”
Goodbye Michael Johns. Women over the age of 20 will miss you.
