"Am I wasting my votes by still voting for Antonella Barba?" Bublé asks Ryan. He's the best guest mentor ever, and the contestants didn't even have to waste time listening to him dispense advice they then ignored.

Ryan sends Phil back to his Tractor Seat of Safety Sponsored by Ford. That leaves Haley Scarnato! and Gina.

Miraculously, Ryan has time this week to ask the judges whether they're surprised these two chicks received the fewest viewer votes. Randy Jackson sucks air through his teeth and says he's not surprised, but a bit surprised. Paula Abdul announces it's tough at this stage. Simon Cowell, grinning like Sanjaya, says he's not surprised in the least.

And then, Ryan announces Gina is this week's goner. Which is great, because Haley reenacting her burlesque rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin' " would have been a jarring end to the Saddest American Idol Results Show Ever, whereas Gina's redo of Chaplin's beautiful, sad "Smile" couldn't be more perfect:

Smile, though your heart is aching,

Smile, even though it's breaking,

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll [Gina sings 'I'll'] get by,

If you smile through your fear and sorrow,

Smile, and maybe tomorrow,

You'll see the sun come shining through

For you.
