I heard they get an allowance to buy clothes but not sure how much. Thought I heard the amount of $500 being kicked around but not sure if that is per show or per week. I think it might be per week because it was discussed that the allowance had to cover all the accessories as well so it was at the contestant's discretion if they wanted to blow the whole allowance on a new gown for performance night or if they wanted to wear something they own with accessories on the results show.

I agree Vonzell has great style. Bo has his own style but he always looks good. Loved, loved loved Nikko's "Comeback Kid" jacket he wore a few weeks ago - he must have had that custom made.

Carrie is probably in the minority of the women I know that wears her clothes one size too BIG! Her clothes hang on her and the armholes of her shirts sag. Tuesday night she looked like some hideous Stepford Wife doing the Lawrence Welk show. I expected to see tiny little bubbles going off in back of her!

Carrie has zip sex appeal and while it is refreshing to see a woman get by on her talent and not on how good she can gyrate and strip on stage, she looks like a robot up there and has zip personality as well.

I still love Nadia. The woman has talent and she is very versatile. I love how she won't sell out by being a Whitney clone and does her rocker thing - but on classic musical night, proved she can be a class act with one big voice as well. Depending on the theme next week, I am really looking forward to what she can do and hope she makes a good song selection.
