As much as I believe Sanjaya should be out of the competition, it was still sad to see him leave the show.

While standing in the bottom three, Sanjaya beamed his signature huge smile. I thought he’d take it all in stride if his name was called to go home. But, then again, Sanjaya’s been riding such a huge media wave and has never been in the bottom three. It must have been a shocker to him. I mean, I was a bit shocked considering he hasn’t been in the bottom three ever.

As he was embracing LaKisha, I thought, “Wow, he’s really crying over this.” He did bounce back for his song though and poke fun at the media stir caused by his hair. I’m sure he’ll be fine. Not to mention, his stud-meter rating probably skyrocketed with all the girls back home.

Leaving the show also means leaving the AI buddies you’ve been living with for the past month. I’m sure they’ve all bonded under the rigorous schedules and intense circumstances. If it were my dream (or even a fun distraction), I mourn leaving my new friends and being sent back home.

Yeah, so, I’m sure we’ll still see Sanjaya again. He’ll definitely be in a Pantene hair commercial or L’oreal Highlights ad on AI tour this summer!
