This week on American Idol, the theme is “Then and Now,” or “Now and Then.” It’s a relevant theme because we can look back on “Then,” when this competition started, and see how much older and more frustrated we are “Now” that American Idol still has five contestants left. I’m still not totally used to Casey Abrams being gone, and I sort of forgot Jacob Lusk was still here. As long as the theme isn’t “Sometimes” or “Now and Later,” I’m good.
This week Jimmy Iovine must face the music, both literally and in terms of facing the contestants after he weighed in on their performances last week in the results show. Iovine must pay! I approve of the sign declaring a fan’s love of Ryan Seacrest‘s side part. I love it, too.

Originally from Seattle, Carla recently took a husband and moved to Austin, Texas, where she is finally using her television “problem” to her advantage. It’s sort of like Dexter, but boring and less murdering. Carla’s favorite shows include 30 Rock, The Amazing Race, Project Runway, Modern Family, anything with murder, and pretty much anything gross and weird (CSI, The Bachelor, Toddlers & Tiaras, etc.). Favorite canceled shows include: Arrested Development, Veronica Mars and Average Joe. In her spare time, Carla leads tours of downtown Austin on a Segway (don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!), blogs about Netflix Instant, and visits elementary schools telling children they don’t need math to succeed (just kidding, stay in school, kids).
