Because only one of the two terribly-singing, good-looking Idol finalists had to go, it had to be Hernandez, because he still is in denial about his gay stripper career. The other one, Kristy Lee Cook, managed to escape booting for now despite her horrible rendition of The Beatles' "Eight Days a Week." In fact, Kristy was indeed worse than David.

However, Hernandez not only he sang lousy on Tuesday night, which prompted Simon Cowell to say that his rendition of "I Saw Her Standing There" was "corny verging on desperate," but he also kept being in denial about his past. In his opening clip he kept talking about having quit his job at "Pizza Bistro"!

"Honestly, things happen for a reason," David Hernandez said after Ryan Seacrest revealed the results of the 29 million votes, which put him in last place. "I think we all have a plan... This isn't it for me," he said. We agree: nude lap dances are more suited for your talents.

Idol officials said they were not judgmental about his pre-Idol job, most viewers probably were rather intrigued than put off by his nude dancing at a gay men's club, but it seems that David himself is part of a minority of people embarrassed by the revelations.

Meanwhile, VFTW reports that not only did best-guy-on-Idol-before-this-week David Archuleta meet with Idol producers during season one, but his dad, Jeff Archuleta, has spent the last 5 years working with American Idol and Star Search performers through his company Arch Music Group. They will investigate further this connection and they promise to report later their findings.
