...onto Phil's earpiece, so that when he tries to tip his finger on it, it will be stuck there permanently!

Argh! He does that tipping bit LIKE.EVERY.TIME.

I definitley wish they would do that, and put some tape over this mouth (permanently). I really, really cannot stand the "the fifth couple to go through will be annonced after the break". He says it in the same deadpan voice every week, maybe they have replaced him with a robot (considering that every show is an exact repetition of last week's show).

I se you don't watch Friday's show.

They explained why he does it, well Phillip did actually. He said he tapped the earpiece to let the people (producers I think) know the sound was working. Now he does it for his daughter. Yes his daughter likes him doing that xD

I wonder if his daughter likes watching him trying to prod the celebs after the judges (esp. Jason) gave their low scores and/or negative comments.
