Brooke White has been eliminated from American idol and that leaves the final four. Jason Castro and Syesha Mercado will be voted off in the next two weeks and the very predictable finals seems to be now set in stone and the final two left standing will create the finals of David Archuleta versus David Cook. Who will win, does it even matter?
American Idol Down to David Archuleta vs. David Cook (Fox)
Predictable is not good for American idol and as the show has slowly wound down with three straight weeks of sub par performance shows this thing seems to be losing steam. That was proven quite well this week as the most talked about idol moment was Paula Abdul flubbing her lines and getting so confused that she didn't have a clue which singer has performed what song.

Mixing up David Cook and Jason Castro seems impossible, but Paula Abdul actually pulled it off by trying to keep notes and it appears getting the rehearsals confused with the actual performances. It was a good laugh, and you can see the video here. Still, if that is the number one moment on idol this week, the show is going to continue to lose viewers as it winds down.
My best guess is that Jason Castro gets the bump next week, and Syesha Mercado gets dumped but makes it to the top three. See all of our American idol coverage here and the show had better hope for a late in the game scandal to keep some sort of interest.
