September 15th

When the elimination show started Suzie, MiG, J.D. & I huddled together and wished each other the best of luck. I could not believe I received the encore. I was psyched to do "Trees." I busted up my guitar and played the song. When they rolled in the new Honda Civic (2006) and announced that three of us in the final would get a new car, I was blown away. I never thought I would have received a car in this audition process for INXS. It's almost too much to think about. I was so glad to not end up on the bottom three and knew I was going to the finale. I really appreciate all the support from around the globe. I want to sincerely thank every one for voting and choosing "Trees" for the encore.

After the elimination show, we arrived back at the mansion and had a lobster dinner. I am extremely bummed that Suzie is gone. She and I have been great friends, and I miss her energy and presence in the Mansion. Five more days till the finale.

This is so cool!
