Top 8 Results Show: And the Contestant Going Home Is...

8:54 We’re back…Mary Hart in the house…Dim the lights…Ryan reminds us that since the Top 13, we’ve only seen girls go home. Haley…is SAFE! YEA!...Casey is happy…That leaves Paul and Stefano. Paul looks upset…Going home is…Paul. Stefano is safe. Boo hiss…Someone is cursing. I think it’s Stefano. He looks upset. I think he saw it coming...Let’s face it. He got bit by the curse of going first and some kind of blah audio mix/arrangement…Video of his journey…He’s handling it okay but the eyes are glistening…He waves at the audience in the back…

8:57 Paul asks what song he’s doing. JLo requests “Maggie May.” Did he really not know what he was singing?...This one was definitely a good one for him…Lauren is upset, but everyone else is handling it okay…Paul goes over and high fives everybody…Stefano is crushed again…That is the way you go out on this show. Totally classy and with a great performance…The Idols surround him and he tells the audience it’s been fun…And now he flashes that killer smile…He tells Stefano not to worry about it and that he’s alright…And we’re out…

Final thoughts in a moment…
