Last night's Frank Sinatra episode proved befuddling and, at times, infuriating, pretty much the opposite of easy, breezy Mr. Sinatra. Why are the judges the way they are? Why do they say such dumb things?

He just likes going to gay nightclubs to watch his friend Charice sing pop songs. Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta was spotted at a club this weekend, igniting ribald speculation across the Twitterverse. So he was forced to "defend" himself.

Yay for double elimination! That's how this show should work always. Yes last night two of our dear friends went home and we couldn't be happier with the results. Well, maybe a little.
