It was supposed to be the best night of the season. Sanjaya was finally in the bottom two…I was rooting quietly for him to finally go home. And then the sweet, sweet words we’ve been waiting to hear all year long finally fell upon our ears…”Sanjaya, you’re going home.” I was on my feet, cheering loudly.

And then something unexpected happened. The dude starts to cry. And cry. And cry. And I start to feel bad for him. Crap. I mean, this poor guy…we’ve been whipping him all season long, he knows that he’s the laughing stock of the entire nation, and his moment is over. Oh, sure, he’ll go on to the AI tour, and I’m sure he’ll get a record deal, but his time in the spotlight is gone. Poor guy.

That being said, I’m glad he’s gone. Now we can start the real competition.
