The Gideonse Bible   With the beard? Yeah, you!

Now, it wasn’t too hard to find these pictures. Click on them to make them BIGger. I spent all of 15 minutes looking. But I thought I’d make it easier on all the folks who are looking–because I’m the third person on the google list of folks you find when search for the, ya know, shirtless pics of Chris Daughtry. And here they are. Yum. By the way, the news groups and message boards are full of people who want to have Chris’s baby. And to have him to very gay things. It’s great. Chris is someone we can all get behind. As it were.

So, it looks like he’ll be around on “American Idol” for a while. I’m glad they’re finally weeding it down. Melissa McGee is gone, finally, and it was interesting: She told Ryan she knew it would be her. It wasn’t her song, which she forgot the words to. She’s just not, ya know, anything special. Yeah, she’s more special than a lot of folks, but she’s up there with Mandisa and our shirtless boy. I was a little surprised that cutie Lisa Tucker was in the bottom three, because she’s amazing. But, hey, all sorts of geniuses get kicked off. Latoya London, for instance. Bucky Covington and Kevin Covais and Kellie Picker really need to go next, even if Kevin’s presence makes for good TV. We need more folks telling Simon to go to Hell. And looking like Chicken Little.

UPDATE: I’ve been having a text message conversation with “someone” about whether or not Lisa Tucker and Mandisa are pitchy. I think Madisa is super pitchy, while loving her tons and tons and tons. The Tuck doesn’t sound pitchy to me. But I might be tone deaf. Anyone have an opinion?

UPDATE #2: Here’s a new-ish set of pics that are almost as excellent:
