Best. Idol Show. Ever.

Okay, I don't care what you say, even if you don't like Gordon Lightfoot or any of his songs -- last night's episode of Canadian Idol was sheer genius. And not from the expected contenders, either: this time it was Shane and Theresa who stole the stage. But Jacob, whose actual performance was fairly dull, did one classic thing for which I must love him forever: he gave the smarmy host, Ben Mulroney (and yes, he is the son of Canada's least favourite Prime Minister), a wet willy. A big smeary one. Which caused Ben to round on him and call him a "FREAK!" He looked like he was thisclose to losing his temper. I was highly amused.

lydaclunas and Pete (plus anyone else who might be interested), you can find the wet willy footage (or just a picture of the incident, for those cursed with slow connections) here. Hee!

Teresa was just the absolute most adorable cutest girl ever. Well, as per usual ;) And actually I don't think Ben was losing his temper, I saw it and thought he was doing a pretty good job of playing along.

But *sigh* how fabulous is Gordon Lightfoot? He's so polite and softspoken and helpful and he signed Teresa's guitar...
*swoons in a Canadian sort of way*

*cackles madly* That was the most brilliant thing Jacob's ever done. Totally makes up for his unimpressive performance.

It was a brilliant show. I was so impressed with Shane and Theresa. And Jacob giving Ben a wet willy was so funny! I got to watch it twice, as Nyssa had a first aid course last night and I taped it for her, then sat and watched the whole thing all over when she got home.

I have to say, Gordon Lightfoot is one person I haven't seen perform live that my life is incomplete without. And Nyssa was surprised that she recognised all the songs, as she started watching the show by saying she didn't know any of his music.

What is a "wet willy?" Is that like a big sloppy kiss?

A wet willy is when you lick your finger and stick it in someone's ear.

Yes, rather gross -- but very funny when it's done to Canadian Idol's heinously annoying host. :)
