Remember Anoop? He's hawking Oreos.

Anoop Desai is still singing for your votes.

The former "American Idol" star from UNC is competing against fellow "Idol" Matt Giraud in an Oreo Cakester dunking debate. Anoop and Matt are hoping fans help settle the dilemma, "to dunk or not to dunk."

Anoop is a dunker, Matt is not. They both wrote and recorded little jingles backing up their points of view, and Oreo wants you to do the same. Write a little Cakester jingle about which way your Oreo goes and you could win a trip to NYC to meet either Anoop or Matt, and have your jingle professionally recorded and aired on national radio.

"American Idol": No more saves for Matt

Guest blogger Aaron Peck: I normally watch Idol with my friends, the Greenes. However, due to a tragic DVR malfunction, my ability to watch tonight's results show was almost placed in jeopardy. Luckily I had the presence of mind to make sure my own DVR at home was recording. Tragedy averted.

I'm rarely a fan of the results show. I'm never optimistic about my enjoyment of a Wednesday episode of American Idol. I firmly believe it's 55 minutes of pointless filler followed by the true reason people are watching. Maybe that's just me. I will give Seacrest this, over the years he has become a master of killing time.

"American Idol": Can they swing like Frank?

Shoo be doo be do. Here's guest blogger Aaron Peck's take on last night's Idol:

Hello Idol blog-readers! It's good to be back just in time for Rat Pack Week, where we get to hear the standards from Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dean Martin. For those who are unfamiliar with my style, I'll be judging our top five on a scale of one to five. Five being unbelievably awesome, one being... well... go home.

Before we get to the performances, we find out that the contestants received advice from a surprise mentor: Jamie Foxx.

"American Idol": The wand was waved, but there was no magic

Guest blogger Claire Meyerhoff: Well, we finally got to see what all the fuss was about. Yup, for the first time in American Idol History, the judges waved their magic wand over the contestant with the least amount of votes and “saved” him.

“Him” being that guy I always say sounds something like Justin Timberlake but his real name is Matt Giraud.

Matt gets to sing for us again next week…and it’s Disco Week! Ryan Seacrest tells us that next week, TWO contestants will go home. Wait, I thought the magic wand was really magic…so what gives? According to the guy next to me on the sofa, the magic wand is “yet another gimmick
designed to keep this tired format afloat.”
