Recap: Idol Chat: Chooch’s View
Hey there people. Sorry it has been a couple of days since I have posted new content. Top Design, Trash Talk, and The View will return tomorrow at different times throughout the day, but in the meantime, check out the recap of Idol Chat our good friend Chooch (or Betsy, as she is known on this site) wrote.
Every recapper’s dream is to be recapped, and you gave that to me, Choocher! LOVE
IDOL CHAT: FLIPIT’S DEBUT
BY CHOOCH (Guest Columnist)
This is not a show I would recommend as “must see” tv. In fact, watching it is as pleasant as visiting the dentist without novacaine. I only watch because they regularly feature ‘our’ TVGASM IDOLS. B-Side and Madeyoulaugh have been guests in the past. Tonight our all-time favorite, nicotine addicted, snack hoarding, mj smoking, vodka guzzlin’ Flipit made his debut.
I made sure I had everything ready before showtime. Dogs out to piss…check… snacks readily at hand…. check…. on-line live chat with my friends….. check…. boobs outta the way of the keyboard….check…..I’m ready….. LET THE SHOW BEGIN !!!!!!!1
Justin G opens our show with a joke about his hair …hahaha and I’m thrilled to see no Kimberly Caldwell. Rosanna Tavarez is hosting tho. Her hoop earrings are big enough to jump a poodle through. She tells us that Leah Labelle from season 3 will be first up to chat and then a make-artist for the Idol wanna-bees will tell us all how she makes ‘em all pretty.
….. and “the writer from TVGASM.com will catch us up on the inside details of this weeks most talked about AI moments”. A clip of Crying Girl plays in the background to this intro, and we cut to commercials. As with all TV Guide shows, the commercials are bountiful. I take this time to chat on-line with my ‘Flipit Fan Friends’, TinkerbellePixie and Clair. We are all soooo excited, hoping Flipit left the maryjane at home and is sober. Tink informs us that he will not be seen until after Leah and make-up lady each get 2 segments. AWWWW…. we have to watch this show that long.
The commercials finally end and we have Leah LaBelle perched on a stool along with Justin and Rosanna. They ask her how she’s doing and cut her off to talk about Stephanie Edwards getting the boot and how sad it was. they “dim the lights” on Stephanie which is really lame and they even admit that it is. Bravo Justin. There is a clip of loser #1 Brandon calling Ryan Seacrest “scarecrow” when he said goodbye.
Sanjaya is next . No one seems to know what to say. ( how about..He Sucks). They all agree it was his best week. On to Queen Lakisha swaying in that green dress and Leah likes her.
Seven ads later and they are back. It annoys me that Justin and Rosanna have to re-introduce themselves every segment and remind us that we are watching Idol Chat on the TV Guide channel. Chris Sligh is next up for discussion and they think he should have grabbed more asses in the audience instead of singing to the cameraman. Maybe the cameraman was hot? Melinda was on next and is a professional, so they pointed that out. Then came Powder, I mean Phil. Justin picked on his clothes and his dancing. Oh Justin, you’re such a douchebag sometimes. Time for commercials and then the make-up lady. Maybe I’ll catch her name, and then again maybe not. I’m getting very anxious to see Flipit. Tink has to calm me and assure me it won’t be long. Watching this show is like being in Room #23 on Lost.
Beshgan??? Peshgan??? … I tried, I just couldn’t catch the name. Make-up lady likes doing something different each week. She made Haley look younger and fresher. I never understood how you make someone look fresh. I think crisp and clean when I think fresh. Oh… and no caffeine. Let’s move on. Straight hair and subtle lines will give Joanne a classic look. Make-up lady admits she has to be a calming influence to the contestants as they get ready. It’s commercial time once again. Wow, that went fast. It’s almost time.
I got it… it’s Mezghan. I was close, kinda. The boys are up now and we have Blake, who’s song is one of my all time favorites. Mez tells us that men do need make-up because of the lights. Our Rockin’ Gina gets smokey eyes to go with her smokin’ song and next week the streaks in her hair just my be a different color. Commercial time already and Justin tell us “…coming up next, Flipit from TVGASM.com…” OMG… they used his stage name. They called him Flipit.
This is it…. we girls on-line are giddy with excitement. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. I feel like I did the first time I was going to see the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I hope I don’t break into tears like the little girl on AI. What did Flipit call her in his recap…”Betsy-Wetsy.”
Oh good heavens… there he is. Flipit on my tv. And DAMN, he looks good. Very svelte with a cranberry jacket, powder blue t underneath, looks like jeans…. are those skinny jeans??? Flipit, your skin looks beautiful on tv. What ever you’re using, it works.
First off, Justin asks if it’s hard to come up with something funny each week to write about AI. Flipit replies that once he settles in with a bottle of vodka, it gets easy. Rosie is a little taken aback by that statement and Justin moves on to Chris Richardson. This is Flipit’s favorite. He likes that he stood still and sang his song and didn’t jump around doing that AI bouncy thing the guys do all over the place. They run out of breath and then can’t sing there song. When asks what he means by the AI bouncy thing, Flipit brings up “Timberfake”, being chunky and ‘the flight of the Milky way’. We then see LuLu coaching Gina. Rosie asks Flipit what he thinks of LuLu and He tells her in his OWN Flipit way:
“She’s LIVED it”
“She’s SNORTED it”
“She’s LOVED it”
“She FEELS it”
“That’s good advice Gina, Take it”
“Oh my God” declares Rosie, to which Flipit corrects “not the snort it part, just the FEEL it…. like GGGRRRRRRR….”To that, Justin refers Gina to Olivia Newton John. Time for a break and when they come back, they will discuss the little girl in the audience that has all of America buzzing.
…..and we’re back… BUT… NO FLIPIT !!!!!1 Make-up lady is back. WTF ??? Did they boot him out ? Did he hit on Justin and shown the door? Did he have to go pee?? My dear sweet Tink, who is the voice of reason, assures me that he will be back in the next segment. Ok… Mezghan is talking about doing Randy and Simon’s make-up and Simon worries about having enough bronzer, where as Randy could care less. Now that we know that, we take another break. The commercials last longer than that last segment.
Tink is right, when the show returns, Flipit is back on the stool, swishing back and forth, looking lustfully at Justin. Those pearly whites are beaming brightly. We find out from Rosie that he’s been talking in between the breaks and he’s got the poor girl all tongue-tied. She has a hard time setting up the next clip of our crying little sweetheart. After the clip airs, Rosie declares that in the girls defense, she also cried like blubbering idiot at a Menudo concert. Flipit confesses that he too cried like that when LuLu came on the other day. They both showed us how annoyingly they each could cry. I think Rosie beat ya there Flip, but not by much. The group discusses the girl being thrust in the lime light and how scared she looked. Flipit noted that she hadn’t gone over the whole AI makeover and just give her a few weeks and she’ll be in short-shorts and stillettos and have her own tv movie. Now he’s got Justin all tongue-tied. After another Sanjaya clip, with Randy laughing while he tried to praise him, Flipit states the obvious,…. “he’s a sweet kid, but WOW he’s terrible”…. You can hear everyone laughing at that remark. He goes on to say that maybe they were being nice to him so he didn’t get the pity vote, but it went horribly wrong.
Rosie giggles that her stomach hurts from laughing as she and Justin thank Flipit for being there and with that…. he’s gone.
I did not watch the rest of the show. I went right to our chat room which had become quite full . Even J-Unit was there. And to all of our suprise…Flipit showed up. Our Star was available for interviews. He told us the car ride was fun and that Justin was totally HOT !!!!1 I’m sure he will fill us all in himself.
In closing, the show was pretty good without Kim. Flipit is a natural for TV and he should do it all the time. GREAT JOB !!!!!!




wonderful job Chooch…… They could get rid of the bumbling mis-spoken hosts on this show and put Flipit in their place and it would be a much better show….
Thanks for summing it all up!
