Bummer: Reston's Nate Tao Booted From American Idol

See what you made us do, Nate Tao? You made us turn on the teevee at Restonian World Headquarters, an event usually reserved exclusively for quality educational programming, to watch the singing game show. And you weren't even on until the last two minutes, in a brief montage saying goodbye to the people who didn't survive "Hollywood Week," whatever that is. Sorry! Maybe we should spend more time watching actual teevee instead of Reston-themed public access cable.

"It sucks," Tao said, and we agree. But it was a fun ride, and Tao seems like a legitimately nice guy. You can read an interview he did with our BFFs at Patch, or maybe this older story.
