Before the writers strike shut down the set of
Bones, the cast and crew completed an episode titled "The Wannabe in the Weeds." If you recall, in mid-December, I told you that former
American Idol contestants Brandon Rogers and Ace Young would guest star in this
American Idol-themed episode. Finally, months after the episode was completed, we will get to see the two
Idol finalist perform both on and off the stage on
Bones.

Hello and welcome to a new weekly feature here on TV Squad. As this is the year in which
American Idol is focusing more on current and past contestants, I thought we should do no less. So each week, as one more
Idol hopeful is eliminated from the competition, we'll take a look back at contestants past who were eliminated in the same week. We'll examine how they did on the show and what they've been up to since their elimination.
This week: 12th place finishers, featuring Vanessa Olivarez (Season 2), Leah LaBelle (Season 3), Lindsey Cardinale (Season 4), Melissa McGhee (Season 5) and Brandon Rogers (Season 6). Season 1 broke at the Top 10 so we don't have 11th and 12th place finishers to examine.

As we reported in our
November 11 edition of
Spoilers Anonymous, an upcoming episode of FOX's
Bones will have an
American Idol-theme. Who better than some real
Idol contestants to play the guest roles of, wait for it, contestants taking part in a singing competition? That's exactly what the casting crew behind the show thought!
At least two
American Idol contestants, one from season 5 and the other from season 6, will guest star in an episode titled "The Wannabe in the Weeds" (as you can guess, the dead character will surely be a contestant and the body will be found in... weeds). The episode, slated to air in March according to some sources, is the last episode of the series completed before production was shut down due to the writers' strike.

(S06E21) There's no big surprise tonight. As predicted by
AOL's latest poll, it was time for Brandon's journey to end. You know, when it goes the way you expect it to go, it's kind of anti-climatic. How anti-climatic was it? Even Brandon said he "expected" to be going home.
Did America get it right this week? Oddly, the judges didn't say. In fact, they didn't say much tonight. Like I said, we all expected Brandon to go. But still, didn't you expect Paula to weep, and offer him final words of inspiration?

Brandon, here's a tip: If you're going to perform first, you gotta do like Randy says and "bring it."
The former back-up singer for big names like Usher, Christina Aguilera and Anastacia isn't quite ready for the big time, according to AOL users.
The results of this week's
American Idol Top 12 poll put Brandon at the bottom of the pack with just three percent of users choosing him as their favorite.
Stephanie and Haley haven't fared much better. They're tied with four percent. Even though they've got decent vocal chops, neither girl has really connected with viewers. And Haley's meltdown after forgetting the lyrics to 'Missing You' couldn't have won her much sympathy.
Right now Sanjaya -- and his inexplicably permed hair -- is among the top six. Talk amongst yourselves about that one.
