HOHOHO.

I managed to persuade my mum to keep me at home and watch cookie .

{screams in delight}

I meant hear...sorry guys I was so excited.

What did they say? They were sooooooo wrong last night - and just when I was starting to like Simon!

HUh? I thought He has a crush on Mandy Moore?

Aaargh..

I have to take my oldest son to school halfway thru the show!

...and I have told my 4 year old that mummy MUST have the TV this morning (they are actually playing the finale live here in Australia).

Hopefully I dont miss too much.

My tummy has been doing circles all day!

Ooh! I sure hope so that he will have the Sex Hair later!

Sure do..

just minutes to go.... gosh!

Your from Australia? My son is on tour down under!!! Awww...i miss him

8 minutes to go! I am soooo nervous. I don't think I can take having another Idol contestant from KC - I'm a 56 yr old mother & way too obsessed! Go Cookie!!!! Woohoo!!!

IS IT FUN IF WE ALL JOIN THE CHAT ROOM??????????? just asking!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 5 more mins!

Well kiddos, I'm off to go fix some snacks, set my DVR and get settled in for the show... I'll see you guys in two hours.

THINK GOOD THOUGHTS! We've totally got this.

DC FTW!

Love you all.

Oooh! It's on in a few minutes!!!

It's like our own personal watch party! 4 min. to go!

Ok..i'm off.
I will more then likely pop on briefly regardless of the outcome at 10pm.

Good luck everyone!!

SQUEEEE! DC FTW! Here we go!

CONGRATS to all the Word Nerds...............................WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter what the outcome is, Cook won HANDS DOWN!!!!


showtime.............

I cant believe I will not be able to listen to it!!!!!! I'm wayyyyyyy pissed right now!

Now!

I'm impressed he kept a straight face through that opening. XD You could tell Archie wanted to laugh. I'd totally have been gone, lol.

97 AND A HALF MILLION VOTES?!

Let's hope that 56 percent is for our Cookie!!

here, try this

OMG! The percentage margins are far apart!

OMG! I am pretty much almost positive he won now!

56% to 44% according to Ryan. Fairly close.
Not Clay vs Ruben close...
But in no way any kind of knockout.

aah! keep those who cannot watch informed on the performers?

HI TOP 12! I missed you all! (Yes, all! Just some more than others )

Awww
top 12
Michael

The "So You Can Dance" cast is dancing with the top 12

Nice to see the Top12 again. They all look great

For those of you who can't see, they're doing a group number, "Get Ready".

I thought the vote would be closer.

DID ANYONE ELSE THINK THAT WAS KINDA LAME?? I MEAN, AT LEAST WE GOT SOME HIP ACTION THE FIRST TIME

I don't think dancing is a strong point of the boys! lol...oh well!

not what zaba reported! one way or the other!

Opening number, "Get Ready," with the top 12 and the SYTYCD cast, all dressed head to toe in white.
Now we already have our first commercial break.

omg i'm so nervous but also so excited!!!

When they took the wide shot, it looked like Jason Castro was in the back just wandering around out of place while everyone else stood still LOL Poor Jason.

i thought the group number was cute but they were all wearing white..that was kinda weird

So true. So cheesy. But fun to watch them ATTEMPT.

kinda nervous

56 to 44 percent, thought it would have been closer actually.

VERY glad to see Michael back. I've missed him. I REALLY miss the David & Michael comedy show. I would pay money just to watch those two tell jokes! Ha!

OMG OMG COOKIE LOOKS SO HOT"!!!!

They're singing Hero... boy they changed fast, lol.

Apparently the Davids are now so awesome they don't need introductions to what they're doing.

David and David is singing "Hero" very nice!

OHHH HERO!!! NICE!

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG~

They sound great together :]

Davids are singing a duet "Heroes", I think from Spider Man. Doesn't it look like an older brother with his little brother - so cute?
