Final tally: 47.
Im sure there are more that I couldnt see.
Another thing I noticed: The excitement on the faces of the kids and teens and families around me.
They get dressed up!
Thats right, Amanda Overmyer fans: if youre pissed she went home, blame Billy Bush.

(Translation: Hell appear alongside Drake Bell in the upcomingCollege.)
looks like Bobby Copacabana Bennett is here as well, though no one is quite as excited about him.
Ryan points this out and says that, as usual, Simons in trouble.
(Yes, their relationship comes off as that way even if the cameras arent rolling.)
The second time the question comes around, Paulas top-down-lights-on comment gets nary a response.
I dont ever need to see that photo again.
And believe me, ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you the woman looked HOT.
- And we still had 30 minutes to go before the show.
During this break, they finally sent the pages through with the chewing gum cup.
Youll get it back at the end of the show, cracked Corey.
Actually funny, Corey!
like four times.She got my vote.
I dont think Corey had an exit strategy in mind.
iTunes gift cards for everyone!
(That camera and the swooping!
and Seacrest bounces up and down before the cameras come back on.
Probably it looked cool.
For us in the audience, it looked super bizarre.
During the medley, Randy grabbed Paulas hand, and the two of them started to sway.
When aretheygonna make out??
Then we come back from break and they all leave the stage during the highlight reel from last night.
Meanwhile, Kellie Pickler has emerged back onto the studio floor to stand with Nigel.
Just let it be, as they say.
Let it beeeeee, let it be.
I am whispering words of wisdom.
Carlys in the bottom three!
There is MASSIVE booing, much of it coming from Journo Row.
Meanwhile, Archuletas being put through without a hitch, and Kellie Pickler raises her arms in triumph.
Thank God we go to commercial its pretty obvious shes crying buckets.
Debbie goes over to sit with her (We hate Wednesdays, she says over the P.A.
Jason and Ramiele get through the latter sparking someone on Journo Row to say, NO!
At the next commercial, Ryan goes and pats KLK on the shoulder.
She gets no hug.
And when Corey says Kristy Lee Cook!
off-mike, it gets no reaction from the girls who are still busy hollering at Archie.
Nigel comes over and talks to KLK during this break; again, she seems quite fine.
Laura fromAccess Hollywoodthen mentioned that theyd hosted a viewing party for Amandas friends and family last night.
It happened to LaKisha Jones last season.
It happened to Mandisa the season before.
Yep, answered Laura.
Its because their family and friends are talking to us, instead of voting.
I started to get a funny feeling in my stomach.
and then mimes pulling a pint.
Hell, shell probably be grateful.
That woman is far too salt-of-the-earthy for this mess.
Then were back, and Carly learns shes safe WE LOVE YOU CARLY!
Way to go,Access Hollywood, says Richard Rushfield.
You killed Amanda Overmyer.
Well, to put it in terms you may understand, it started a little rocky for me.
WTF was I doing here in the first place???
You dont know how lucky you are, boy.
You dont know how lucky you are.
See you again in, um, I think three weeks, maybe?
The inimitable Shirley Halperin will be your host for next weeks show.
Treat her nice, and she just might get ya some back-door scoop.
