My predicament came true indeed... and at last, 'balance had been restored' to the competition, but not without controversy (such as when Mathilda got booted out, and the weaker singers were still in the running).After the phone lines had been closed, and the recaps of the judges' comments were read out, all 5 contestants got out of their seats and stood in one straight line... Paul, Joakim, Jasmine, Hady and Jonathan.
Gurmit said that he would announce 3 names in no particular order, and those 3 would be returning next week... "Jonathan, Hady and Jasmine... we'll see you next week." ALL IN ONE SHOT!!! I hugged Sharifah, Ida and Jeremy after hearing the great news.
And then there were two... already the Paul and Joakim fans were sobbing... and one of them stays, the other will be going home... after a nationwide vote... it had been decided that..."Paul... we will see you next week. Joakim, I'm sorry your Idol journey ends tonight."
Loud cheers from the Paul fans and everyone else, and
I did the Triple H pose... the evil forces behind the controversy involving Joakim had been defeated at long last. Joakim is finally free from the trials that had been placed on him for the past few weeks. And the fans did vote wisely at last. But Gurmit was being too much for dragging the results for more than 10 minutes cos in doing so, it had left the Paul fans as emotionally drained as tyhe already devastated Joakimians.
I then heaved a big sigh of relief cos Joakim need not go thru any more slamming now that he had left the competition, and indeed he gave his best performances on Wed, tho a bit too late. And he wasnt the worst performer this week either, tho he should haf been out a long time ago (perhaps God had planned this all along, we'll never know). I stood up from my seat and applauded to show my respect for Joakim cos in spite of the nightmares he'd been thru for the past few weeks, he never gave up and focused more on his vocals. 
Im really happy that he made a dignified exit, and that his sense of humor and good-natured persona were still intact. Cos I know of a few people who would turn bitter after receiving a lot of negativity... and Joakim isn't even one of them cos he remained strong by focusing on what he loves to do rather than let all that bad publicity get into his head... and after his elimination, he's still the bubbly, friendly guy we all know and love. And if ever there was a Most Inspirational Contestant Award, I think it should go to Joakim cos of his never-say-die spirit and the way he handled all that bad publicity with his dignity still intact. I'm very proud of the Monkey Boy, at least he left the show on a good note with his head held up high. And the rainbow had finally perched out from the dark clouds :-) 
OH YAH did I forget to mention that I saw Gayle, Emilee and Nurul at the basement level prior to the results show (Mathilda joined them later)??? I was like ARGGHHHHH!!!! NI MEN HEN MEI!!!!! I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! ESPECIALLY EMILEE!!!!! :-D
