Bahstan Rahb went from my most loathed Survivor to my most loved Survivor. Rahtan Rahb for the win!
glatt, the kid you're talking about is Casey.
As for the judging, I'd rather not be told who sucks by Simon Cowell, but choose for myself who I think sucks and doesn't, based on my own ears. They haven't proved me wrong yet. I picked Aiken & Studdard in season 2; I got it "wrong" in season 3 because I hated Fantasia and loved George Huff, but I feel vindicated because George Huff is touring with Jennifer Hudson; picked Carrie Underwood from her initial audition in season 4; predicted Taylor Hicks would win, but preferred Elliott Yamin, who has a much more successful post-Idol career than Hicks; picked Jordin Sparks in season 6; David Cook in season 7; Kris Allen & Adam Lambert in season 8 (loved them both); and was happy with either Lee Dewyze or Crystal Bowersox last season.
This season is a little more difficult to predict, because, frankly, the judges did a better job of putting through genuinely talented singers. Gone are the days of "Chicken Little", "The Pen Guy", "Sanjaya", "Carmen Goat Girl Rasmussen", "The Red-headed Crooner", among other no-talents. I think all of the kids currently left standing will have successful careers in the music industry, they're all that good. Casey just happens to sing the style of music I prefer listening to.
