Give me a break! The judge started it and Drew finished it. People are too sensitive. I too say, Get Over It.

I do think the West Coast edit may have affected the results. I caught it while on vacation in Central time zone, so I saw Drew's tacky and unnecessary move -- and I didn't vote for him as planned. I put my votes toward Stacey instead. How many West Coasters, having seen what I did may have also chosen to vote differently? Jerry or Stacey could have walked off with the prize, but we'll never know, thanks to ABC.

COMEON people... GET OVER IT. I saw the clip on youtube and I thought it was funny. A perfect comeback for that stupid comment made by the judge. People need to relax - If you don't like it... I say - Go Phuck yourself! People are just to damn sensitive!!!

But here's the thing: that by removing the incident from the later feed, the censors didn't even let folks on the West Coast have a chance to get offended.

Personally, I think they are making way too much of it. He was acting in the heat of the moment and in the middle of the excitement. BIG DEAL!!! I say grow up and get over it...I am sure they have seen alot worse...SR

You can see it on You Tube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mnQ6xoEmX_4&search=lachey It was stupid and tasteless on Lachey's part especially given how gay, Chippendales-esque his routine was. And after than he's afraid of, what, getting raped? Please. Now why are they censoring it? Cause it was an offensive, anti-gay thing to do, or because the mere mention of something gay could offend people?
