'Grease' evictions
I actually didn't get a chance to watch Sunday's episode of Grease: You're the One That I Want because of the Oscars, but I just saw that Kevin and Kate were voted off. Which vaguely amuses me because in the paper last week, I wrote:
Sometimes you just have to wonder what people are thinking. On Sunday’s Grease: You’re the One That I Want! two competitors said in interviews that they weren’t there to make friends. This kind of declaration works if you are in a game that requires making alliances (Survivor, Big Brother) — but not in the kind of show that asks the public to vote for you.
People won’t support a “Danny” or “Sandy” who isn’t friendly.
So Kate and Kevin, next time someone asks you about your fellow competitors, just smile and say something nice.
Despite having written that, I'm surprised they're out -- or at least that Kate is, because she has a great voice. It does make me feel like my intuition about this stuff is getting a little better. But watch me now be totally wrong on all my American Idol predictions!
