No, I didn’t live blog this one. Instead, I’ll reiterate my call and post this, then update to let you know how wrong (or right) I was. And, yes, I went ahead and had a martini anyway. Hey, you try spending 17 straight days with rainy, cloudy weather keeping you and your active, home-schooled, too-smart-for-his-own-good 6-year-old all but shut indoors and see if you aren’t tempted to tip a couple back, too.

Meanwhile, I’m betting on this:

• Taylor and Katharine in the bottom two
• Since the number of guys (and teeny-bopper girls) voting for Katharine just cuz she’s a she, Katharine will make it. I’m calling Taylor out.

However, if Elliot’s in the bottom two I’m never watching this show again.

And, please God, don’t let Taylor dance.

UPDATE: (8:22 p.m.) Damn that Rebecca Romjin (or however you spell it and, really, didn’t anyone notify her that she’s too white-bread for an exotic name?). WTF is it with a “celebrity request” — and for TAYLOR? Complete with dancing. Gawd, there’s just not enough vodka in this world.

UPDATE: (8:25 p.m.) M’kay. I am still not live-blogging this. I just happen to be frequently updating in order to convince the Venomous Hubby that I’m doing proDUCtive work at the computer and therefore should be left the hell alone. And, yes, I did have that whole hour to myself last night but, geez, one hour in a week doesn’t really cut it. Anyway, I digress. Taylor???? I never did like Rebecca What’s-Her-Name. Wonder how Paula’s taking her appearance, considering that Rebecca’s the ex-wife of John Stamos, who was Paula’s Boy Toy during her bulemic years. Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah: Taylor???? And he danced. Damn. There oughta be a law.

UPDATE: (8:29 p.m.) CHRIS IS GOING HOME? Well, damn. I hate it when I’m wrong. Then again, if I understood what America wants this blog would’ve made me a wealthy woman long before now. So, I remain of the option that Katharine made it because the voting block for the guys was split. But, damn. Damn. I’ll buy his CD — and I have no doubt that he’ll be cutting one. Can’t say the same thing about Katharine, should she actually make it to the finale. Meanwhile, I’m going to go cry in the bottom of my martini glass.
