or not

Apparently my browbeating techniques are remarkably lame or completely backfired as Ashley, for whatever bizarre freak of nature, received the least number of votes on Tuesday night.

Was I expecting her, hands-down, to win the entire Idol?? No - that'd've been way too unfair a claim to make for such an unpredictable show, and she was up against some stiff talent. Should she have gone home last night? Absolutely not. I was anticipating a top 5 or 6 level before it became a complete free-for-all.

Most disappointing, but there it is.
