The heroes were the first ones to have to face Jeff in Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains Episode 1, and they opted to vote out Sugar, their weakest link.

Boston Rob continues to get tired of his tribe, which seems content just sitting there in the rain and suffering. He’s on the buffoon tribe again, although that ended up going quite well in All Stars. Courtney hopes he doesn’t drop dead in the next few days because otherwise she’ll have to depend on these fools, thereby killing them all.

Randy doesn’t get why they keep redoing the shelter, seeing as it keeps getting worse each time they tear it down.

Rupert would like to get rid of Stephenie because he does not trust her. She considers him to be annoying, and thinks he may just be trying to get rid of her.

Rob decides to walk away from his tribe, fed up with this whole shelter building debacle. Eventually, he collapses. Jerri discovers him, and he asks for help. Medical comes in to take a look at him and give him some water. They say he looks worse than he is. His realization during all this is that he needs to stop trying to be the good guy, and instead be the villain like everybody expects.

For the challenge, each tribe must collect crates and use them to build a staircase spelling out their tribe name. They are playing for immunity and a tarp, rope, and nails. Villains sit out Courtney and Randy. Because this runs in pairs, the heroes sit out Rupert. JT and Cirie start out for the heroes; Danielle and Boston Rob start off for the villains. Heroes are the first to return. The villains were doing a good job at first but slowed down. Candice and Tom go next for the heroes, followed by Tyson and Sandra for the villains. Colby and Stephenie head out next for the heroes. Jerri and Coach are about to get lapped by the heroes. James and Amanda go fourth for the heroes, followed by Russell and Parvati. JT and Tom go back out for the heroes, followed by Rob and Tyson. James and Colby grab their final crate, giving the heroes the edge heading into the puzzle. Russell and Coach return with their final crate. Boston Rob takes control of his tribe, while JT assumes the leadership role for his tribe. The heroes quickly become a lost cause once again. With much effort and hopes that nobody gets crushed, villains win immunity and reward. James snaps at his tribe because they were not listening to JT.

James continues his anger back at camp. Not clear how this is doing him any favors.

Boston Rob’s becoming the hero, which Russell views as a challenge. His response is to chase after a chicken and catch it.

James’ newfound philosophy is that Stephenie is bad luck because her tribe (the first time) lost everybody but her.

Tom’s hope is that Cirie and Candice will join him, Colby, and Stephenie to take control of the game. A good plan for both sides. What about Amanda? Well, the plan is to get rid of her first.

Candice feels like she’s on the bottom regardless of which way she goes.

Cirie says that she’s not really tight with Amanda. They may have made it to the end, but Amanda chose Parvati instead, costing her a million dollars.

At tribal council, an argument breaks out. More of the same nonsense from earlier.

The first 7 out of the top 24 were revealed in American Idol Season 9 Episode 11. Tonight we find out the remaining 17.

Janell Wheeler is the next person to join the top 24.

Tyler Grady, the guy from the 60s or the 70s or one of those decades that had questionable hygiene, is the next to advance.

Lacey Brown was cut at this point last year after a sing off, but this time she has made it.

Ashley Rodriguez, Alex Lambert, and Joe Munoz (who?) also make it through.

Crystal Bowersox also joins the top 24.

With all those reveals, some bad news has to be on the way.

Katie Stevens is not where that news starts, however, as she has made it to the next round.

A bunch of people then get rejected. I’m not sure who any of them are, though.

Angela Martin finally seems to have gotten her life on track in her third season of Idol, but she has not made the top 24.

Lilly Scott is the next girl to advance.

Paige Miles, Siobhan Magnus, Michelle Delamor, Jermaine Sellers, and John Park also join the top 24.

There are two girls left: Haeley Vaughn and Tori Kelly. Unlike years past, the silly finding out at the same time bit is gone, although we’ll probably still hear the inevitable but inaccurate claims of “if not for that other girl, the one who didn’t make it would have.” Tori has been cut, as Haeley Vaughn is the last girl to make the top.

For the boys, it comes down to Thaddeus Johnson and Andrew Garcia. Thaddeus has been cut. That puts Andrew Garcia in the top 24, which comes as no surprise following his Straight Up performance.

Sayid came back to life, so in Lost Season 6 Episode 3, the natural response to this was to try to kill him again.

Back in the real world, or what appears to be maybe possibly the real world, Locke is still handicapped.

On the island, however, he’s fully capable of doing as he pleases, such as catching Richard.

Returning to his desk job, his boss has discovered that he really didn’t go to a conference in Australia, so he’s fired.

John’s a candidate, or at least he was a candidate before his demise. Richard does not know what that’s all about. Seems Jacob has kept him in the dark.

Ben blames Locke for killing Jacob. I suppose that’s as reasonable an explanation as any.

Locke approaches a house with a record player blasting, and he finds a drunk Sawyer, who thought he was dead, mostly because he is. James doesn’t care whether he’s dead or whatever’s going on, as long as he’s got whiskey. He does notice a difference, though. This new Locke isn’t afraid. So who is he? He’s the person who can answer the most important question: why is he on this island?

Having just lost his job, Locke heads outside, where he’s unable to access his car because Hurley has parked too close to allow the ramp to lower. Well, that and the fact that he refuses to park in a handicapped spot. He’s new. He owns the company now. Perhaps he’s hiring then. Locke declines the offer to talk to his boss, but Hurley owns a temp agency, too.

Some kid is appearing at random throughout the jungle. Locke is the only one who can see him. Well, the drunk guy Sawyer can see him, too. After Locke chases him, he’s told that the rules say he can’t kill him. Richard’s got a warning for Sawyer: Locke wants everyone dead.

At the temp agency, Locke meets Rose, the supervisor there, who tells him he needs to be a little more realistic about his job prospects. He needs to get past his denial, like she did after she found out she had cancer.

The black smoke says he’s been trapped for a long time, but before he was trapped, he was a man.

Everybody who was on the beach will be heading to the temple, but first they must bury John Locke. Ben has positive things to say when remebering him. And he’s sorry he murdered him.

Locke has decided to give a call to Jack and take him up on his offer. Rather, he gives him a call and then hangs up, telling his fiancee Helen there are no miracles.

James climbs down a cliff in what he believes may be a suicide mission. Not far from it. So is this where the answers are? The writing is on the wall/ceiling.

Locke’s new job is at a school, where he meets Ben, a European history teacher.

Who wrote all that stuff, and why are the names crossed out? They’re not all crossed out. Jack, Sayid, Sun or Jin, John, and James’ names have not been crossed out (well, Locke’s name is crossed out now). They’re candidates to take over Jacob’s job to protect the island.

That leaves him with three choices. Do nothing and see if his name gets crossed out. Take over the job as protector, protecting the island from nothing. Or just go and get the hell off the island. He’ll take the third one.

American Idol Season 9 Episode 10 brought us the second part of Hollywood week. Tonight is the conclusion of Hollywood week, and we will find out some of the top 24.

The contestants are divided into three groups and sent into different rooms. Well, this has the potential to be drawn out like a Biggest Loser weigh in.

After his performance, Jermaine Sellers turns around to the band and says “That wasn’t actually right.” Okay, that was necessary why?

Crystal Bowersox shows off her guitar and harmonica playing skills.

Alex Lambert gives the ukulele one more shot, singing I’m Yours by Jason Mraz. Big Mike Lynche and Todrick Hall also sing that song.

Thaddeus Johnson’s mother has been with him from the beginning, often far too loud. He sings Man in the Mirror, the song that paved the way for Kris Allen’s success (that Kara incorrectly said was the wrong choice).

Mary Powers had an emotional round 1, followed by being overly bossy in round 2. Round 3 finally lets her put the drama behind.

Bryan Walker gets a wink from Simon, which I’m going to take as a positive thing.

Shelby Dressell struggled to remember her words during rehearsal, like she did during her first audition, but she pulled it off when it came time to perform in front of the judges.

Aaron Kelly, however, forgot his words in his final performance. After taking some time to compose himself, though, he recovers.

Janell Wheeler has been struggling with her voice this week, but it doesn’t seem to impact her. What the judges do pick apart is the song choice.

Room 1 goes first, meaning they have made it. Included in this group are Lilly Scott, Siobhan Magnus, Tyler Grady, Thaddeus Johnson, Michael Lynche, and Katie Stevens.

Room 2 goes next. They haven’t made it. This room includes Hope Johnson, Bryan Walker, Mary Powers, Charity Vance, Christian Spear, and Lloyd Thomas.

That leaves room 3 in the clear. Randy realizes he sounds like a broken record by now, saying that this year is the best group ever. This room includes Aaron Kelly, Janell Wheeler, Ashley Rodriguez, John Park, Angela Martin, Jessica Furney, and Shelby Dressel.

On previous seasons, we found out the top 24 on Wednesday night, but this year it’s been split to include a partial reveal tonight. Why is anybody’s speculation.

Instead of the awkward elevator ride, this year they will receive the news at the Kodak Theatre.

Michael Lynche is warned that they’re not sure whether he believes he can actually do this, but he is the first person to join the top 24 by a unanimous vote.

Didi Benami is still as emotional as she was when we first saw her. She gets the first spot for the girls.

After a lengthy routine in which Ellen makes her wait while telling her it’s wrong to make her wait, Katelyn Epperly is told she has made it.

Shelby Dressel is the first person to be cut. Simon says that was the wrong decision.

Casey James will hopefully be keeping his clothes on for the final judging. He’s going through to the next round.

Despite having forgotten his words in both the second and third performances in Hollywood, Aaron Kelly joins the top 24.

Lee DeWyze is told he needs to be more confident in himself, but he makes it to through.

Todrick Hall just gets one word: yes.

Jessica Furney has been cut. After hearing that, she starts begging. This isn’t going to do her any favors. They’ve already made up their minds. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot for next year, too.
