Tonight, Scotty and Lauren go head-to-head for the championship. Which one of the country cousins will win?
DL: I’m going to pull a card for the theme of tonight or this week, the Finale! I pulled th 9 of Pentacles….reeee-versed! It’s a girl…she’s upside-down…snow all around. Funny, though, I pull one more and get the 2 of Swords and I feel the word “truce.” I wonder if the votes will be a close call, or running neck and neck so they are very close? What card do you get?
CK: Who, me? Nine of Pentacles, of course. Yes! For real! We pulled the same card! I don’t use reversals, though.

DL: The same cards? Again! That is wild. Did you see Scotty at 8 years old? So cute! Like Opie on the Andy Griffith Show.
CK: For my clarification card, I pulled the Star. Do you suppose that means Lauren will win by a hair?
DL: We’ll hae to see what cardds we pull up for each contestant…I know the wizards deck has really given Scotty some amazing cards (it really likes him).
DL: Laureen looks her best tonight! Great outfit of black and sparkling silver. And they said she was having trouble with her voice today….eek.
CK: Scotty looks funny in his t-shirt, next to Ryan in his tuxedo.
DL: She was trying to sing really hard and blew out a vocal cord. They gave her meds and they have an emergency crew on board to tend to her. What a night to blow out a vocal cord.
CK: Let’s see what the cards say about her health. She gets the Empress! That’s a card of creativity and nurturing. Maybe we can trust that doctor, even though he was dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans, like a roadie.
DL: I like how they said the 3rd round will be the song that will be their first release if they win. Scotty is singing “Gone” now and doing great!!
DL: For Scotty I get the 3 of Pentacles and THE WORLD! I think he is going to rule the world after this week!

DL: Notice in the 3 of Pentacles, the red-headed boy is in the front, holding his trophy, with others behind him. Hmmmm….. (well, I saw him as red-headed, lol).
The Moon card from the Wizards Tarot
CK: I pulled the Moon card. He’ll get the teenage-girl vote, of course. And for Lauren, I pulled the King of Swords — the card of Justice and determination.
DL: Lauren is singing clear and strong…very good for a snapped vocal cord! Clear as a bell. I need to pull a card for her…oh, you won’t believe this…. 10 of Pentacles an d 6 of Wands! I think no matter what, both of these kids are going to win….big time fame. The 6 of Wands contained the fire behind her on the stage! (BTW, I LOVE J-Lo’s hair tonight).
Ten of Pentacles
The Wizards Tarot Six of Wands
CK: I was surprised to see the Nine of Pentacles come up right away — not once, but twice — because it does suggest that Lauren will win. But after the medical announcement, I tend to think that she’ll get just enough sympathy votes to put her over the top.
DL: I dunno…I got that 9 of Pentacles reversed, that could be her vocal cord on its side… I wonder…
CK: For the last few weeks, I thought Scotty was the stronger contender. I guess we’ll see!
DL: I still can’t believe that big voice comes out of that young boy. The “Check Yes or No” song was very good! Scotty’s own idol, George Strait, picked it out.
CK: While we’re on a commercial break, I’ll tell you about a new book I found at the Eye of Horus today. It’s not really new — it was just brought in for the used-book section.
Have you ever heard of this book, or the author? She really bashes professional readers at the beginning, but the rest of the book, that describes how to read the cards for yourself, is pretty good!
DL: I’ve not heard of the author or the book before. Cute cover. Why does she bash pro readers?
CK: I think she’s had some bad experiences with fly-by-night readers and canned meanings. But I was surprised to find a book I’ve never heard of before! I’m so arrogant. No, seriously, I thought I had every book published on tarot for the last 20 years.
DL: I was surprised not to have heard of it, too. Just when you think you’ve seen ‘em all! Oh, look, Lauren changed into a new dress. She looks like a music box dancer.
CK: That is a beautiful dress. The nice full skirt really balances her figure.
DL: She sure loves those cowgirl boots.
CK: I was just going to mention that she can’t seem to give them up. That’s my one criticism: I think boots make your feet smell, so they’re not the most attractive choice, as far as I’m concerned.
DL: Oh, they are asking thee judges about the first two rounds.
CK: I was wondering why they were holding all comments.
DL: Randy gives big compliments for both, but he’s really gushing on Scotty…
CK: I like Randy’s jacket, with the black satin collar. He looks sharp! He should always dress up for the show.
CK: Jennifer Lopez looks like she forgot to brush her hair, though.
DL: Ohhhh, I love that! I want that! So far they’re saying Scotty round 1, Lauren round 2, but Steven gives both to Lauren, beccause she is “prettier than Scotty.” LOL
CK: You want Randy’s jacket, or J-Lo’s messy hair?
DL: Most definitely J-Lo’s hair. Want want want….
CK: I’m pursing my lips like the church lady. I don’t believe in bedhead.
CK: Also, I am so over marching bands in neon lights, like background characters from “Tron.”
DL: I hear ya on the marching band with the glow fog. I don’t think J-Lo looks like she has bed-head, though. She is playfully “tousled.”
CK: Yes, but I have a little brush in my purse that could fix her right up.
DL: OMG…picturing the Church Lady brushing J-Lo’s hair from behind when she isn’ t looking….
CK: It’s from being the mom of so many daughters. All of whom look like troll dolls when we’re hanging around the house, but perfectly coiffed when we go out. Hah! JK.
DL: LOL
CK: I’m so excited about my trip to Seattle. It’s my first astrology conference. I’m used to going to tarot conferences, of course, but I’m so anxious to see the similarities and differences between the two groups.
DL: Do they get to have banquets where they all go dressed as little stars and planets?
CK: They do have banquets, but I don’t think they go in costume. They could! They could all dress up like their favorite mythic figures, since most of the planets and asteroids are named after gods and goddesses.
DL: That’s a cool idea. I would be curious to know the men-to-women ration. Oh, Scotty’s song that would be his new release if he wins…it’s coming…
CK: In past seasons, these “winner” songs have been a little lame. So far, this one holds promise, though.
DL: I agree about the past choices I’ve heard. I was hoping for a faster song…I think it is picking up…
CK: I hope it picks up. Scotty needs to rock this one a little.
DL: Hmmm…I pull the Queen of Wands for this song. Not so bad.
The Wizards Tarot Queen of Wands
CK: It sounds like a song a lot of people will play for the first dance at their wedding.
DL: It needs more syllables than “this big” in there…
CK: The sentimentalism was a little forced, but overall I give the song a solid B+.
DL: Was that his mom crying in the audience?
CK: Of course. She looks so young! But then again, Scotty is only 17. She’s probably our age!
DL: I just love this boy, he is so humble, so calm, so grounded (and he has great skin). I like his suit.
The Chariot card from the Wizards Tarot
CK: For tonight’s performances, overall, he gets the Chariot card. He’s going places!
DL: Hey! That’s my card! My costume! Maybe I’ll get to see him sing someday. Live!
CK: You could totally make that happen. I was sad that you left your broom behind at RS. I saw it propped up in the corner of the hallway. If I hadn’t been flying home on an airplane, I would have taken it for myself!
DL: My only regret is that I didn’t leave it on the free trading table. I didn’t think of that.
CK: It was so well-crafted! You could have sold it. You could have another sideline career in the broom-making business!
DL: It literally took about 10-15 minutes to make. My son said, “That better not have any ticks on it.” He was not so enthused.
CK: Oooh, here’s a commercial for the X Factor. I think I’ll start a group blog of psychics to make predictions on that series.
DL: Crime pathology shows?
CK: No, another singing competition with Simon Cowell as the producer and/or judge.
DL: Ohhhh, right! That should be good! Lauren is going to sing a song about moms.
The Sun card from the Wizards Tarot
CK: She gets the Sun card. She’ll win! That’s my prediction.
The Wizards Tarot Three of Swords
DL: I get 3 of Swords. If she does win, it’s because the song tugs at everyone’s heartstrings. I’ll still vote for Scotty, lol.
CK: They should be showing tons of video of her mother, not Lauren. That would make me cry.
DL: This is a cute song to play at a wedding, too….to honor the moms…
CK: I think she needed Ryan Seacrest to help her down the stairs because she’s loaded on vocal-cord drugs.
DL: Oh, you maybe right. I was wondering about that. (why he helped her). Aw…both Lauren and her mother are sobbing. Lauren on the stage, watching her mom weep. So touching.
CK: She so took that round.
DL: J-lo says it will likely be a tight race tonight, but with that song, she likely just took the lead. Steven…he said, “As far as I’m concerned, the first time I laid eyes on you, you were my American Idol. And you are mine tonight.” Cute!
DL: Randy and Steven think Lauren won this last round. J-Lo would not say.
CK: And Steven gave it to Lauren “Hands down!” He really took a stand. But did you see how gracious and gentlemanly Scotty was when he heard it? He smiled sweetly and said something encouraging to Lauren. What a guy!
DL: He did, I definitely saw that. Looked her right in the eye, nodded and smiled. Wow…listening to the repeats, I don’t know who to vote for!!!!!
CK: I’ll vote for both of them!
DL: But then you cancel yourself out!
CK: I don’t care! I’ll just pretend to be my parents voting for president.
DL: Ahahahha! OH! David Cook is singing “Don’t You Forget About Me!” Great closing song!
CK: Oh, I liked him so much, and was so glad when he won. I wish we’d see more of him in real life.
CK: Tomorrow will be a huge show, with all the contestants from this season, and lots of suspense up until the big announcement at the very end of the night.
DL: Do you think they’ll have any of the previous contestants singing, the ones who didn’t win?
CK: From this season? Definitely. But I don’t know if they’ll have enough time to bring back contestants from other seasons. Maybe. They also throw in a few past winners, don’t they? Like David Cook, who’s singing tonight?
DL: I can’t wait! I’ll see you tomorrow night…I think this one will be close!
CK: Okay, let’s go vote! See you tomorrow!
