HOLLYWOOD - American Idol started of Hollywood Week with 181 hopefuls. After the first day, that number had been whittled down to 95, with a total of 86 being sent home.
Among those going home were the Tennessee farm girl Vanessa Wolfe, the self-described hillbilly, who said that she could take her 22 rifle and from 100 yards away hit the left nut on a squirrel.
Also asked to leave was Antonio Wheeler, aka Skiibosky, aka "Yo Bro," aka "The Rappin' Blackbird."
Randy told him that he was just not cut out to be a singer and that maybe he can get a job making burgers somewhere.
Kara remarked that he had too much of an arrogant attitude. She went on to say that he wasn't as good as he thinks he is. She pointed out that if the show was called American Arrogance he would probably have a damn good chance of winning.
Ellen said that he just simply scared the hell out of her. She said that she was so scared that she had actually peed in her pants. She turned to Simon and she apologized for the faint urine smell that was lingering around the judges table.
Simon told Ellen that she was excused and to go to the bathroom immediately if not sooner.
Skiibosky asked Simon, "Hey White dud, how abouts me?"
"What, did you pee in your pants as well?"
"Nah, my main bro. I means what abouts me. Is I be stayin around cheer or what be it is I's be doin'?"
Simon shook his head and said 'what be it is I's be doin'? What the blimey hell does that mean fella?
Skiibosky asked "Say my man, I wants ta knows what da hell do blimey mean anyhow huh?"
Simon told him to get the hell off the stage before he has him arrested on suspicion of being an illegal alien.
And so the dream ended on Feb. 9, 2010, for 86 American Idol hopefuls who were given the "Golden Ticket" back during the AI auditions, only to have that ticket fade quickly to a "Plastic Pink Ticket."
