American Idol: Semi-finals, week one (results)

Spoilers for the first "American Idol" results show of the season coming up in a hurry so I can start watching "Lost"...

So, your first three through are Danny Gokey (duh), Alexis Grace (only slightly less duh) and Michael Sarver. Even though everyone and their mother knew Danny was going through, the producers tried to milk an extra freak-out from Tatiana by putting her next to Danny for the final spot at the end of the show, and at this point I'm finding the producers' desperate attempts to make her break down on camera far more distasteful than Tatiana herself.

I was fast-forwarding through a lot of the episode, but I didn't hear Seacrest say who finished in fourth place, which the producers have said previously means an automatic spot in the wildcard episode. My guess is Anoop, since Ryan said he finished only 20,000 votes behind Michael, but we'll see.

I would've preferred Anoop over Michael, but beyond that, this seemed like the right group to advance from a very underwhelming show last night.

What did everybody else think? And how much did you suffer through live? And why do the producers keep bringing Michael Johns and Carly Smithson back to duet on "The Letter"?
