Another one bites the dust

With tonight's unfortunate demise of Marty Worrell from the Australian Idol finals lineup goes the last interesting Idol hopeful whose CD I would consider buying.

It also leaves Anthony as the lone contestant with a BMI below 25. Not that the rest are overweight. They’re just big-boned.

The way it’s going, the final Idol show will also become the first Circus Sideshow Idol. The fat guy and the midget.

Anthony is a talent no doubt. Great voice. Good looks. Small stature. A perfect addition to the lineup of Hi-5.

Courtney is also talented but is boring, pretentious, has an ego almost the size of his stomach and, frankly, is just taking up space.

Ten things I’d rather do than buy a Courtney Murphy album

1. Jab myself in the ear with a screwdriver
2. Eat a microphone
3. Put on a padded suit and jump into a cage full of hungry otters
4. Clean a public park toilet with nothing but a bottle of Jiff and my hands
5. Kiss a camel
6. Drink a shot of Clag glue
7. Snort another person’s earwax up my nose
8. Roll around in goat faeces
9. Buy Don Pancho’s album
10. Give up Habib’s garlic sauce for a year
