•
Jason Castro made it a lot easier over the past week for voters torn between him and Syesha Mercado (David Cook and David Archuleta haven’t been in the elimination equation for some time now).
•
When Jason Castro was ousted from American Idol Wednesday night, it quickly became the stuff of quasi-controversy (with a little help from Simon Cowell, of course): Did he actually want to go home? The 21-year-old from Rockwall, Texas, was ready for the conspiracy theories post-elimination.

And then there were three--well, really two.
