Ryan: "..I'm going to make it easier for one of you. David Cook, you're going to the finale! Well done."
David beams, steps off to the side.
Ryan: "Okay, here goes. Syesha. You have been in the bottom three a record seven times. Do you really think you can make it to the finale?"
Syesha blathers on for several sentences, somehow managing to compare herself to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X AND Rosa Parks in the process.

Ryan: "Uh...okay then. David, you always look nervous on results night, and yet you've never been in the bottom three. Why is that?"

David (with his usual stupid Alfred E. Neuman grin): "Well, what someone has done in the past doesn't matter. Anybody can be eliminated on any given week."

Ryan (casually): "That's very true David. And this week, you HAVE been eliminated."

David & Syesha say nothing. They just stand there in shock.

Ryan (more firmly): "You're going home tonight, David. Syesha, you are in the finale with David Cook. Congratulations on a job well done."
Syesha is still in shock. Finally it begins to sink in. The impossible has happened. She embraces David, who has begun crying. His reaction is simular to Brooke's on her elimination night, but is even more pathetic. Finally Syesha lets him go and begins walking to the couch, still numb. We are eager to see what the contestants will do next, but don't get the chance. There is an altercation taking place that the director immediately cuts to.

Jeff Archuleta (in the front row of the audience, yelling): "You sadistic f@**#t! This is all fixed! I'll kill you, you asshole!!" He tries rushing the stage to attack Ryan, but is immediately stopped by security. Since he isn't much bigger than his son, they have no trouble at all subduing him.

David Archuleta (still crying): "Dad!! Leave him alone, you bullies!" He rushes offstage to help his father, and the fists and chairs begin flying between the Archuleta family and security. Nearby audience members pick a side and join in.

The director then cuts to the judges. Simon and Paula are sitting in shock, utterly horrified at both Archuleta's shocker boot and the fighting. Randy, who always liked Syesha but was ordered to criticize her by Nigel, is sitting quite calmly and just taking it all in. The director then cuts again to Ryan, who has begin speaking.

Ryan (wishing Dunkelman was still around so they could cut to him instead): "Well, we're just about out of time. Next week, the finale Between David Cook and Syesha Mercado. Now, let's take a look at David Archuleta's journey on Idol!"

Jeff Archuleta (as he's being dragged off by guards): "It's all fixed! My son has the highest number of votes! My son belongs in the finale.."

We then mercifully cut away to the tape. But the film editor, confident of the outcome and trying to save a few bucks, has prepared only ONE tape for the night. So we see SYESHA walking onstage for her audition, then in the Hollywood rounds. At this point the tape abruptly cuts away to the opening of Hell's Kitchen. When FOX told Idol they would not tolerate the show going into overtime again, they weren't kidding.
