Are you going to watch the results show? If so, I won't give it away. I will say that despite Jason's terrible performance, it would be a bad thing if he went: he's absolutely, inimitably himself, usually he gets a reasonably pleasant performance out of his sketch of a voice and his lackadaisical air, sometimes better than pleasant, and he's the one performer this year (maybe any year) who puts himself at odds with the show's vaunting of professionalism. He's a stoner, not a punk, but in the context of the show he's almost a symbol of resistance. (Not that resistance necessarily makes better music than professionalism - it usually makes worse - but with Brooke being the only talent with pro potential whom I actually care about this year, Jason's a nice counterbalance to the whole thing. But man he sucked this week.)
